Start...
So...
Its been roughly over a year and about two or three months since I've gotten out there to know some of the fuzzies in and around my area and I guess as a whole... To me it seems to have been a lot longer. Simply, it really is hard to believe so little time has passed and so MUCH has happened in my life. Its quite the realization actually.
I've come to know a good deal of people who I actually consider true friends! Some close, some a little ways away and others in different countries! This time two years back I was probably sitting at my PC doing nothing really worth while... Though I still do that now there is little hesitation on making my way out to go meet up with these friends. Some of which I would do anything to help, not saying I wouldn't have done this a couple years back but now I have more people to be this person too. Makes me feel good about myself. :)
Even with friends and the good things in life there are those... Unwanted elements that not only cross you but your friends as well, but this happens regardless of where life takes you. In that regard I feel I've dealt with them accordingly and come out with a greater sense of self-confidence and worth as a result.
All in all this has been one of the greatest times of emotional and mental growth I've ever experienced. Naturally if I could have changed things I would have but this is the way things happen so no point in dwelling to much on them... Taking things as they come and moving on, learning, building on the experience has been good. For sure and certain.
Now a sum of highlights in the past fourteen or fifteen months! :D
First, Rain Furrest 2009. First fur con I ever had the pleasure of going too! I drove over 1300km (800+ miles) to Seattle on an hour and half or sleep! I pulled it off until we were 2 hours out where I had to have a nap. Which I did for an hour, at which point we switched back over and I drove the rest of the distance to the hotel. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the con participated in a scit, got some art and generally made a fool of myself in a most embarrassing way around friends... Good times all around and looking forward to this years! :D
Even while RF was getting prepped for I was still keeping busy with my own hobbies. That hobby happens to be Warhammer 40,000 with my Tyranid army. I am still chipping away at what I have very slowly as I am painting every single one by hand I'm not mass base coating all the units which would be faster. I personally like the feel of committing the time to each one. An expensive hobby for sure, but very calming and rewarding when I finish a unit or massive creature. "The Great Devourer Is Come, Destroyer Of Worlds!" :3
As this is a slightly costly hobby I naturally have a source of income as well... Yay, good paying job! Suffice it to say I do enjoy my job for what it is. I get paid quite well, its secure and has benefits. Also got a decent sized pay raise too even without that though I probably wouldn't have been going for any other job anytime soon.
Though I have to say I wouldn't mind going back too school. Counseling and massage therapy have both caught my eye as possible career paths or something to look into. At the moment though I have a bit much on my plate between bills and such to consider school. Maybe when that's all said and done it'll be up for consideration. Though I am good where I am though so no rush.
Now even though there are those lovely bills, I'm still saving money! As a result I'll be having a lovely vacation to LA in July to go and visit the lovely
for a fun four days or so! The reason for this vacation is that some friends of mine are getting married that week and my job for the summer months doesn't give out individual days. You have to book off a whole week. So, I thought 'hey why not, I'll go harass a friend' and this trip came out of that! xD
Even with that though I forgot too mention some of my other travels! In and around my area of the world been to a lovely series of comic and anime cons spent some cash at each and managed to pick up issue NUMBER ONE of Wolverine! :D :D And too boot was only just recently able to demo my partial suit with my new costume I got last minute for a con (the costume have had the partial for a while)! Urban Camo FTW! Much love for my partial has the ability to simultaneously creep people out and suddenly make them go 'ho'shit' I also get the 'aww cute' and 'awesome' too! :3
On the subject of epic purchases on my part! Excellent video game over the past while! Bad Company 2! Have you played this game? No? Why not? This game is nothing short of win! I recommend reading up on it at encyclopedia dramatica... Yeah, yeah not a reputable site in the least but they nailed this game right on for what it is, though they will need to update it what with the patches EA will be releasing soon. Favorite class though for myself right off the get go is Rambo Jesus or the Medic. Next up is the Engineer; Carl Gustav, 'nuff said. Assault class is the most well rounded. Recon; wookie with a shotgun.
Another game to have come out was the Halo: Reach Beta, much love for the Halo series and as this was only the beta I did enjoy it minus a few game things they will obviously fix. Looking forward to the actual game release! This also seems to be the time of beta's as the starcraft 2 beta was also released around the time of Halo: Reach. One thing I can say about SC2 is... Holy shit you'd had better know your macro and hot keys! God Damn! Seriously though another one I'm excited for upon its release! ^-^
Heh, also found some lovely new bands over the course of this time, I wont be able to name the ones that I'm unsure when I found them but... Here are the two most recent band Ive discovered! PIRATE METAL! Don't care if you don't think its a genre, your thoughts on this matter or irrelevant in its presence! And also an A Capella Metal Band as far as I'm concerned these guys have skill! These two band are Alestorm and Van Canto!

I also like this one from Alestorm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta-Z_psXODw
Counseling and massage therapy have both caught my eye as possible career paths or something to look into.
Oh man, Counselor Maestro.
It might be difficult to be a successful RMT. I work in a spa and I hear how some clients say that they only want a female therapist but never requested a male therapist. But, well, it's Edmonton, Alberta, lawl. Better luck in Vancouver or out East I'd imagine.
But I'll be the one harassing YOU by the end of it. x3
I'll catch you and ocean again eventually. :)
Good too hear from you too.
