Okay. Been a while. I guess that's because life has been... uneventful. Once again, I took an interest in reading really old entries. Found lots of interesting stuff. I sound so angry in a lot of my old entries. Upset, hurt, dramatic. It's funny, I don't really remember being so unhappy back then. I guess I just felt like LJ was a place for making thing into bigger deals than they really were. Or maybe I really was that spoiled
The trend of negativity has resurfaced lately, but in my defense... I've been dealt a pretty shitty hand for a while now. I haven't had any amazing, happy moments to share. I'd love to, really. Oh, which reminds me. No, nothing ever happened with Sid. Honestly she wasn't even all that much my type. I was just having fun being all crushy cuz I didn't have much else to do.
I'unno, let's think of some happy things to discuss. I met someone new recently that's going to be moving here. I'm thinking about giving her my LJ, mostly because she lists hers publicly. Which is part of what got me noticing how negative my LJ has been. Almost like it's an embarassment to show people, which is funny because I'd really like to get back to a point where I have a few more regular readers.
We'll see whether I give it to her or not (I probably will.) If so, hi Lauren!

So that draft is about three months old, has it really been that long since I started an entry on a webpage? (I usually use a client, but still...)
So I'm in a fantastic mood today, and I thought: Why not write about it? Woohoo!
Things have changed a lot for me since I was regularly posting before, perhaps that's why I stopped posting. Life has been pretty satisfying lately, and I haven't been feeling lonely which is one of the times I post the most (go figure). I realize that draft of mine was right, I really was making a lot of negative posts. Thankfully, I really have nothing but happy things to talk about today.
Let's start with catch up. I've been dating Lauren for nearly three months now, and yeah, I totally gave her my LJ. Things are really, really great with her. I do still feel a little self-conscious writing too much about a significant other on here, cuz it used to dominate my entries at one point, I know. But I really do want to have this written down, because she's become very special to me and I'm completely head-over-heels in love with her. I really do owe a lot of the positive in my life these days to her.
I'm still at the Hard Rock, but not for long. I put in my notice, my last day will be May 14. After that I'm home free. Things really are just getting started there, though. First I'll be busy for about a week going to
Flipside which I think will be an absolutely fantastic experience. Super, super excited
After that the plan is to go back to school. I think I'm going to go in on Monday to get that figured out. Working my boring 40 hours a week for, what, over half a year now?, has really opened my eyes to how important it is to really chase my goals.
This kinda catches me up with the good things that I want to talk about today. My goal, to make a career out of hypnosis, was really reminded to me today. I was reading a book on indirect suggestion and I just got... giddy. Like so giddy I had to get up, move around, even laugh out loud. It just excites me in a way nothing ever has before. I realize I really do love everything about it, and just want to learn more and more and more. I think Lauren and I are going to be making a blog together about our experiences doing it together, which I'm also very excited about.
In addition to my pleasurable reading experiences, today is just a good Tony day all around. Between day and yesterday, I got three new shirts from
woot and my tax return checks from state and federal. I've been wearing my wrist weights again lately, which just makes me feel good in a subtle way that's hard to describe. I spent a little while with an old friend (FFVII) and I've still got a few hours before I need to get ready for work. I'm thinking a bit more reading, and maybe I'll watch a show or two. Hopefully I'll get a little phone time with Lauren, as well.
Also, a side note: I've been making little journal entries in a notebook at work lately. I'm thinking about transcribing them here. We'll see!
