Suppose I should say something...
12 years ago
Which is a crap title for a journal involving something so significant.
In brief, I'm getting married. I proposed to Wyla, and she accepted on 5 September.
In not quite so brief... man it's been a long road, and there's still so far to go... and there's no one else I'd rather have in the seat next to me for the ride.
If I told the whole story I'd have a book on my hands (so maybe someday I will tell the whole story, who knows?) but for now I'm going to keep this relatively short. My life has gotten busier, not easier, since I came back from the desert. Now my job actually requires I do more than show up and occasionally fix something. Now I'm engaged at work, all day every day, because I teach.
So I don't have much time for creativity, and what little time I have I sink into Beyond the Veil. That's why most of my updates lately have been reposts from the comic or one of the artists who works on it with me.
With immigration and all the practical crap that comes with getting hitched, I can't imagine that things will get any less busy anytime soon.
Nevertheless, it's work I happily undertake. The smile when I walk into the classroom is almost never fake, and the hardest part about the travel is no longer coming home to an empty house, but leaving one so full of love and affection. I even love the damn dog, and he shits on my carpet when he thinks no one's looking.
In completely unrelated news... is it just me or are the lives of almost every other fur I know or watch here on FA imploding? I just waded through about 30 journals over the past week, and at least 16 of them were titled something like, "more bad news" "there goes the day" "why me?" "soul crush" "medical news not good" "need help!" etc.
I then look over at the list of MY past journals with such scintillating titles as: "Raw testosterone and other positive cultural influences" "No one was murdered because of the image in this link." "Not porn but will still give you wood" "I am smoking a Texas Jewboy." and my personal favorite, "Have a face full of awesome. It's on the house."
I don't even remember what that last one was about but it must be good. I'll probably go read it after I finish this journal.
I guess the long and the short of it is if I look at what other people are posting, and look at what I'm posting, clearly either I or they aren't doing it right. (the journal thing, not life in general... I'm not THAT conceited.)
....
Perhaps I should host a journal writing symposium. I am a teacher after all. :P
Post Script:
SHE SAID YES!!!! HOODY HOO IMMA GET MARRIED! HOLY JALAPENOS (ONNA STEEEEECK)!!!!
