haven't really done much with this thing in quite some time..
feels like i never have the time to do those things i used to love...
but we are going to cut down the in time and get out a bit more..
i am going to devise a way to keep a camera on me..
even if i have to carry a stupid purse...
the job i was offered by my guildie turned out to be just the thing..
things were rough for a while but now i am the assistant store manager at a store down the street...
my direct supervisor is awesome..
the kid who works the position just below me is great, too..
keeps me on my toes and performing just about the best i can...
got quite a significant raise when i got the promotion, also..
so far as working for the gaming industry is concerned, that is...
we stopped paying for our house, since it is now worth about half what we mortgaged for...
but it appears that we shall be living rent/mortgage-free for about a year by the time any of the paperwork goes through...
i don't mind..
but we have six cats to think of..
christ....
six cats...
four munchkins and two long-limbed...
i need to go through all the pictures and take a few more of them, also...
really need to catch mayhem doing his matrix trick..
that would be a great shot...
going to try to be better about this site..
about making my art...
not much chance of going back to school for it..
but i don't really mind...
most of what i have heard about the photography programs disappoints...
learning new things all the time...
getting quite a bit of satisfaction from being able to answer nerdy questions and earn customers for life...
it isn't quite so taboo any more, being a girl in the video game world...
my mind is jumping around a bit..
probably because it is late and i should be in bed...
but i don't really want to..
time to go read some more richard dawkins...
i was qutie indifferent to religion and the question of god..
until i started reading this book...
now i am sickened by the thought of religion and religious people and feel that, just maybe, i ought to get involved...
i know i definitely want to push my husband into pursuing his idea of writing letters to prominent atheists for help in getting sufficient education to make his own views on religion credible, according to the world at large...
because you can't really be taken seriously in that field if you haven't a degree in some related area...
sad though it is..
because he has nothing but time to be researching all of it while he is at work...
i wish i could get away with that on slow days...
but i am allowed to play my dsi, which makes me happy enough...
still hard to believe that i have gotten married...
let alone that it has been almost three years now...
but i still think that it is great...
and that it shall last for many more years to come...
if the cats don't trip us down the stairs and then eat our remains.....
we love them all dearly...
really should give away one or four of them...
but we named them all and they are our children...
there is no way we could give even one of them away..
unless we found an amazingly good home with a good friend or family member...
but that is not likely...
and when it came time to give one up..
i don't think we could do it...
as stressful as they all are...
they are so much easier to handle than even one human child..!
sometimes i get a little wistful for children..
because we would make such damn cute ones...
then i remember all the other things which come with children...
and i listen to my boss talk about her child...
and i watch customers with their children..
definitely not for me...
unless reva really would play nanny for us...
that would be awesome..
i would almost consider having a child just to make reva do the rearing..
as bad as that sounds...
but i think she would do a fine job and the child would grow to be quite an extraordinary person..
but i am such a small girl...
and all up in my mid-twenties now..
how would my body fare..?
i am not inclined to believe that it would survive exceptionally well...
and with all the other things which already bother me about it..
i don't think i could go through with such a thing..
but i should be getting more decent insurance at the beginning of october...
and i hope that i shall be able to resume my pursuit of surgery for my sternum..
because at least three of seven exercises strain my ribs most unpleasantly...
they shouldn't...
now i am rambling and i don't really know what i am saying any more..
i need to get ready for bed and read a bit more before i have to get up and start a new day...
