"I'm not dead!" and other good news

Well! My previous journal was pretty... dire, I should say, and it occurs to me that a sort of follow-up journal is warranted.
I am doing a lot better now. I'm starting a new job tomorrow, which will pay me quite a lot more money than I've ever made in the past. Enough money to afford my bills, rent, and groceries while still leaving me plenty of money to spend as I see fit! Better yet, I'm working in an office now, and I no longer have to serve the general public! *shudder* Customers...
As you may imagine, the whole not-eating thing that came up in my little Sympathy for the Unsympathetic comics has done fantastic things to my weight; I now resemble what I looked like back in high school and still doing martial arts. Though not perfectly so and I'm putting weight back on now that I'm regularly eating again, I think I look great. It'll be far easier to maintain being thin-ish than it would be to try and lose weight.
I'm still fighting depression, but I have a much better handle on things now than I did in the last several months. I'll shortly be able to afford going to a therapist again, and before long I expect to be back on antidepressants.
Honestly, being financially stable fixes quite a lot of my problems. Things are looking up! Now, if only I had friends and/or people to talk to. Damn tendency for people to abandon me.

I do so love the word mercurial, don't you? It's a good word. So's sesquipedalian. And irony. Meaning, of course, "made of iron". Fe I say, Fe!
You know, if you want to have a proper conversation, we still can. Granted, I'm on Skype a lot more frequently than YIM now, but I still poke my head around every once in a while. I'm sure I don't need to tell you my Skype if you're interested.
