I'm old enough to know better, but still cute enough to get away with it.
I can't say that I'm here to write about anything in particular. I used to be all about the fake!journals and anything that involved stepping out of my life. But I got away from that to save my sanity and in the intervening years have discovered that my life isn't such a bad place to be. It maybe one-dimensional and mundane from time to time, but it's mine, ya know?
I'm (mostly) emotionally stable. I've finally gotten my own apartment with my own lock and no children running about. I own a cat (how the hell did that ever happen??). I have a steady job (one that actually puts me in charge of other human beings if you can believe it). I finally told my emotionally stunted but ever-powerful father to go fuck himself. I finally found out why my health is so crappy and am finally strong enough to do something about it. I don't cry anymore (unless it's a Hallmark commercial). I've learned that killing monsters in RPG is nearly as good as killing whomever is pissing me off today. I've discovered the beauty that is Hawkmoon. I know now that love doesn't mean settling and that I am my own best company. And that the best friend in the world isn't the one who holds your hand or tells you what you want to hear, it's the one who kicks you in the ass and and tells you what you need to hear whether you like it or not.
Don't get me wrong though...some things never change. I'm still addicted to U2, slash and a myriad of other inane vices. I still haven't grown up (in the traditional sense). I still tend to over-use ellipses when I write and smileys when I'm trying to write to someone else. I still hate living in Florida, and try to spend every moment I can manage in Ireland. I still shake my head in shame at my own attempts at fic. I still drive the same POS Ford Escort. I still stress out about money all the time. I'm still desperately in awe of my godson and his sister. I still haven't lost the weight. I still haven't been to New Zealand. I'm still easily amused. My favorite color is still green. Basically, I'm still a dork. :D
There's a lot coming up...some of which I'll want to forget, more of which I'll want to remember. Before there was badness, there was comfort, camaraderie and a place to let my inner snarky bitch reign.
I've missed my snarky bitch...it's good to have her back.
