Tell Me Something Happy About Your Life

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

I am bummed and despondent. I don't know why. Just last week I found out I was part of this big new group called the 99ers. And we're getting bigger every day! Even reading all these stories about them and their lives hasn't cheered me up. In fact it's only made me feel worse and more of a failure. So whenever I get this hopeless there is only one thing to do. Live vicariously through my Internet friends!

Tell me something good that is going on in your life right now. Anyone have a new job? New romance? New addition to the family? Find a golden ticket in a candy bar? Anybody going to get drunk tonight? Going to get laid tonight? Or peferably both?

Hopefully I can spread a bit of cheer for a change.

I'm working on a couple of new projects that have kept me happy (and somewhat busy) including writing a few scripts for something, and being part of a lay thats scheduled to launch in February

The job I saw as little more than a means to an end has actually taken on a life of its own, as something that I am surprisingly good at and enjoy doing for the most part. I'm starting vacation now and kind of miss it. But at the same time, I look forward to going home and seeing my family and friends again. I'm happy with how things are turning out.

Life is generally good and I'm on my way to Comic-Con to frolic among my own kind.

1) Today, I'm going to pay the tuition for online courses I will take next year with one of the Parisian university. I don't know if it's going to lead me somewhere professionally (I'm going to study something completely different from what I studied initially 10 years ago) but I'm really motivated

2) I'm going to get drunk tomorrow

I got some music equipment and I've been having a lot of fun figuring that out and composing with it. I'm also working on a new story.

I just came back from vacation at Universal Studios Florida where I spent stupid amounts of time gawking at the new Harry Potter area. That was awesome and fun.

We just got approved for a lovely new house(just finished being built last weekend)only ten minutes from here so we get to move from the crappy upstairs unit we are currently living in, surrounded by scum who think it's fine to come and go at all hours of the night and talk in the carpark WHICH IS NOT A FUCKING COMMUNAL AREA.

So that is WONDERFUL because our new house has three bedrooms(compared to two right now), ducted air con(compared to my own portable energy guzzling units I run now), double remote lock up garage(compared to pot luck whether you get a spot in the motel style communal carpark here)and it's off off off off the main road and then in a cul de sac, compared to us being parallel and just behind a main road here(so no blaring ambulances and burn outs at 1am).

Better yet, the owner is prepared to let us in early, rent free, to move our stuff which is AWESOME!!!


Oh and it's winter here which I LOVE because the days have been around nineteen or twenty, compared to the hellish forty to forty fours fucking Perth gets in summer.


I LOVE winter!!!!!!

My dad is having surgery Monday to remove a large cyst that is sitting on a nerve, causing massive pain from his hips down. The pain has been so severe that if he is able to get out of bed, it is a good day. So I'm glad he's getting that done.

What is also good is some vacation time I scheduled off two-three months ago will happen to fall at the same time of his surgery, so I'll be able to do chores for him and he won't have to worry about it.

sorry. no can do.

Going back to college has been awesome. I started my summer session yesterday and I'm actually excited about it! How strange is that? Actually, I can totally identify with feelings of worthlessness and I think going back to school has been great because it's increased my self-confidence and self-worth so much. That, in turn, enhances other parts of my life.

Also my husband came home after being away just a few days and I realized how much I love our little "family" -- me, him, and our cat.

My wife loves me despite my myriad faults, and my girls are pretty good kids and stay out of trouble and in school when it seems like many of their peers are having all kinds of problems. Plus, I have a pretty good and recession resistant job that I enjoy.

And the company of Trek BBSers...cheers!

I bought a "JohnnyJumper" for my 5 month old. Its a baby seat attached to a bungie cord that hangs in the doorway. He sits in it and his toes touch the ground. He gets excited and bounces up and down off of the ground really fast, cackling and guffawing the whole time. The sight of him having so much fun is priceless!

Met Bill Shatner, albeit briefly, on Saturday. Throwing a dinner party tonight, and just found out a good friend has got a job in my unit (he was unemployed for a year and two months, if that helps with the 'light at the end of the tunnel').

Congrats! I got married on Sunday Aug 2nd last year!

I have 9 working days left before I'm "retired".

(actually, I'll be doing lots of other income-generating bits and pieces as part of a portfolio career. But in terms of being "an employee"/"having a job"... 9 days to go!)
