Each one seems to demand its own schedule, its own rhythmn. I'm beginning to learn this one's, and I am happy. It's appropriate that we moved just prior to the beginning of a New Year. It would seem that Michael and I are finally making a home and a life together, not just co-habitating. It's been a rough 8 months, but then, starting a new live-in relationship is never easy, especially with the unusual "dynamic" that I share with my boy. He is beautiful and precious to me, and definitely the best thing that happened to me in 2002.
I need to get over to the tech support area of LJ and find out if there is a way that we can download and archive our journals. I want to keep mine on my one website, albeit, not in blog format, for reference. I'm not sure how long they store old posts, etc. I know that this information is out there somewhere, I've just been too lazy to go look it up. I need to put it on a to-do list.
Which reminds me, I forgot something this weekend. Damn. I hate it when I do that. I have a package waiting for me at my old apartment complex. Shoot. Oh well, I'm taking off Thursday and Friday, I'll go over then and claim it.
(In case you haven't noticed this before, for the most part, my journals are a very "stream of consciousness" type of thing). Anyway, I'm working on "The List" for 2003, and I'm trying to keep it realistic, etc. I'm definitely liking the principle of "baby steps to the goal" - tearing down large projects into small, easily digestible pieces.
Which reminds me, I've ignored Cam stuff for way to long. Need to get xp logs updated and to start mailing characters to Chauma for the regional audit. Then there's that pesky VSS I need to write as well. Oh well, only two more days of work and then I can turn my mind to other pursuits. That, and the fact that the C/A game is this weekend. Need to get all the downtimes processed, etc.
We got a lot accomplished on the house this weekend. We're over half way through unpacking all the boxes. (You must realize that we left a lot of our stuff packed at Carol's due to a lack of space). We've also thrown away a lot of stuff, and probably will be throwing away a good deal more. I finally broke down and went through my closet on a "first pass" - after I have finished the last two loads of laundry, I will probably be making another pass through and getting rid of more stuff that I just don't use.
Went to see Star Trek "Nemesis" yesterday. I left with one of those "It didn't suck, but it wasn't good" feelings. I don't regret watching it (ala Spawn), but then again, I wasn't overly thrilled either. I think I read a few too many spoilers before going to see it. Overall, however, I still am a STNG fan. They have always been my favorite cast and crew. I never got into any of the series after the first two, even though I tried.
One of the things that I'm going to spend more time doing in 2003 is going to movies. I have this strange compulsion to make this journal some kind of record of my life. Something that I can go back and read when I'm old and forgetful, something to bring back the memories, both good and bad. Something to leave behind that says "I was here, and this was my life." I even had the morbid idea of burning my LJ to CD and giving it out at my funeral to everyone who attends so that they could read my real life (even the private, protected entries). Strange, eh?
I think that is it for today.
Ciao for now.
