What Happened?
18 years ago
Titled as such for various reasons, as I've had quite a need to answer that question not just for others but to myself.
It has often been feeling as if so much time has gone by without enough really happening. Perhaps my life has indeed come to somewhat of an awkward stall. Perhaps I can take it as a good thing that I'm finally growing a little impatient with life. But hey, I'm going into my 20's pretty soon - I'd like to enter them feeling a bit more accomplished and significant.
A second semester of college went by, but I don't feel so great about the progress I've made with that. As always, I learned a lot from what few classes I took, but my grades don't consistently reflect that.
On the other hand I've been become a great SL builder buddy and strong friend for Steel the Warrior here. I've had great fun building whatever he asks for, at least, whenever I have the time for it. When I'm too busy with other work, he's just there to encourage me to keep at it.
Currently, I can feel like I really am rather divided between a 'first life' and a 'second life', with the first being composed of all the things my parents pay attention to like college and other overt responsibilities, and the second being composed of all the things my online friends get to see, like my building and drawing. Each life is quite enjoyable when I can see that it's making real progress. That said, it's for reasons like this that I'm really glad I have the second, so I can tolerate the first. In the first I'm shy and uninvolved, and I have been battling bored frustration to get work done on basic subjects, and to get a job (I should hear about my upcoming interview with Target tomorrow >_> ). In the second, I'm finding bunches of people in and out of Steel's circle of friends to meet and talk with, and I'm starting to really pursue what really interests me, while helping others to do the same.
Once, I attempted to bring the two worlds together, only resulting in an unpleasant collision as they repelled each other. That was when I broke out of my shyness (thanks to Steel) just long enough to tell my parents about how much I'd like to make the trip to Anthrocon. It didn't seem too far off to say that they hated the idea. So anyhow, much as Steel and I would love to meet up there and see lots of other furry friends, this really isn't a possibility until I've done a bunch more proving my independence to my parents and/or myself. Like getting a job.
Now, I have some drawing to get back to, and/or some building to do for Steel. I hope to finally get to posting more work soon. Speaking of which, should I post some nice stuff I accomplished in Drawing class, despite the almost complete lack of any animals?
