Two, and three.

I want to say thank you. The comments on my post yesterday were incredibly cheering. This morning after waking up from a nice 13 hour(yeah I went to bed early and slept in) nap I felt a lot better. Spending this morning with Wulfa also helped. Today after making sure to keep busy even doing small things I found myself in a much better mood. Thank you for the suggestions of making lists. I plan to do this and started this morning with a small one. The job search isn't going -that- badly and I have a few more leads I am waiting on replies from. My heart was just very down yesterday, and I wanted to say thank you again for all the replies. You really helped cheer me up.

I cannot describe how hard it is for me to remain cheerful right now. My life is so entirely different from what I expected, that now I do not know what I was thinking back then. My plan had been to get down here and stay busy. That has been the furthest thing from what has happened. Instead I find myself constantly distracted or in conversation. Nothing ever seems to get done and daily I lose the battle. Hell, its not even like I'm playing too many video games. I play half what I played when I was working full time. I don't think about WoW much at all now. I don't even feel like reading. It seems like such an easy thing to me to get a job. I mean I -know- I can do a number of different things and do them well. Even things I don't enjoy. But thats not the issue. Even 3 months doesn't seem like a horribly long time to be without a job, and I've only been out of work for one. The issue is that I find myself with a lack of hope. I did not ever imagine I

Hah! Back to dark purple! Color of kings! Woot! The Reason for the Post. I tamed a new pet and I really like it. The Background Story Behind the Choice of Pet. Warning Rambliness Ahead. I grew up in the Virginia Beach, VA area. Nothing humongo special about that particular area except that it was close to one of the greatest vacation spots on earth. Colonial Williamsburg, with its' Shops and Restaurants and Character Actors and Tours and Gorgeous Houses AND IT'S JUST FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL. Not that I get excited talking about it. Anyway, we went there once or twice a year. Also nearby was the Jamestown settlement and a couple lesser-known towns that also got completely massacred by Indians (err Native Americans .... I'm not sure what is PC) back in the day. Exciting stuff. And if you're in that area you HAVE to go by the College of William and Mary. Red brick, stately buildings ..... you feel like you're in a very cool place with lots of history . Ok, and the point of

Please ignore my constant changing colors. And my endlessly changing designs. The guy that owns me thinks he's learning html/css. Loser. Sincerely, 2.5 Orcs Blog p.s. That mug at the bottom. He just wanted to see what that did. It will go away at some point when he stops liking the way it looks to have a picture of his on a mug.

"Edward was sooo awesome. You know, no guy could ever measure up to him." After this I asked Damm to go see the movie again with me. I was actually surprised when he demurred and suggested Quantum of Solace or Australia instead. I didn't mean that statement in a bad way. It was just true. He's a fictional character. He's a vampire. And Stephanie Meyer does NOT try to make her vamps more human-like, something I find refreshing. They're just .... perfect. Damm said, and I think he's right, that quite a few high school boyfriends are going to be dumped because "they're not like Edward." I think it's quite possible that even staid married ladies will secretly wish that their husbands were Edward. Edward will never grow old. He will never get fat or go bald (not that that's a bad thing .. I don't mean to offend anyone. That look can be quite handsome :) He doesn't have morning breath. His muscles .... he has muscles. yummy. AND he
