Follow-up, Stat.

Is anyone else slightly freaked out by the (now even more) very real concept of nuclear war? Not that I'm going to hunker down in a foxhole and wait for the apocalypse or anything...It just makes me a little nervous that just one crazy guy could totally eff it up for the rest of us by pressing a button. How did we get here, anyway?

So Here's the Long and Short of It

Here's basically what has happened in the last couple of months:

First, I rekindled an old friendship back in April which turned romantic. This, in turn, triggered a chain of events that began with me deciding to move back to Houston, where my boyfriend lives. I quit my carptentry job at Watertower Theatre in Dallas (where my motivation had begun to gradually decline, anyway, and I had serious doubts that they were going to extend my contract) and packed up my stuff, sublet my apartment that I had lived in for barely three months, and moved back home--literally, in with my parents. I landed a job at the High School I graduated from teaching Theatre Arts. Granted, teaching in my hometown was definitely not my first choice, but the starting salary is phenomenal for a first year teacher...more than anywhere else I could have applied (as a matter of tact, I won't reveal exactly how much). So now, I'm working on clearing up my credit so I can buy a car in the fall and move back out of my parents' place by the end of October. I am hoping to also move back to the Dallas area after a couple of years. I never really liked Houston and I miss Dallas already. It was difficult to make the decision to move away in the first place. I guess this is the part of my life where I'm off seeking my fortune. Wish me luck, and to all the friends I left in Big D: I love you guys and I'll be back before you know it.

So this is my new blog to represent my paradigm shift. I hope to do some more serious--and consequently more insightful--writing here. There's just something about MySpace that will not foster that type of revelation in me....now there's a mystery.

In other news: I've begun to capitalize letters that require capitalization according to the English language when I type. You know, like a grown-up.
