Fall

So, I'm not any good at this continued post nonsense. Maybe I don't have enough to say, maybe not. Regardless, I just finished a big project and wanted to take a step forward. Here goes.

I can't thank people enough. There are people in my life that make it, well, livable. I don't want to come across as emo but I went through some darkness in my past and didn't expect to have happy like I do right now.

The woman in my life makes me smile, cuddle, and have all sorts of unmanly feelings (in addition to manly ones, of course). She helped with the big project by being a critical nazi and making the grammar, well, more grammar-ey. Thanks to her, I've finished an application to a huge program and if it goes, I'll have to leave her for a year. That's the kind of support she gives me - it hurts her and stresses her to think about me potentially taking off to be - uhm, let me check google earth real quick - 5,266 miles away (as the big giant crow flies, while wearing winter clothes to survive passing Grønland). She's great. Woot.

There are others who make me happy too though: My roomie and my best friend, the whole gaming groups - they make Thursdays one of the best nights of the week. I don't think I've done anything this consistently, on a weekly basis, since marching band in high school, or maybe fighter practice when it was all I wanted to do. It's been almost three years now, and I can't thank that crew enough for being there every week to make life a little more fantastical.

The twins are great. Especially after a bath (which the woman in my life helps with). They're soft and cuddly and just want to be happy and near you. You. Yes, you. They may have never met you, but they love you dearly. Can't help but love them back.

Yeah, so it's fall and the leaves aren't changing but the temperatures are perfect and the weather is gorgeous. Makes me think about the coming winter and the deadlines are far enough off to be non-deadlines and I'm just glad to be in the place I'm in right now.

Schmaltzy? Yes. Gay? Maybe a little. But I'm here, and it's awesome, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks!
