In which we are humbled.
Neglected LiveJournal, ahoy!Life is extremely good these days. Extremely. Added Bonus: I have almostbutnotquite trained myself to appreciate said goodness at face value, versus constantly trying to find some element of imperfection (however minor) to keep things "grounded". Finally recognized this behavior for what it was (i.e. ridiculous and unnecessary sadism), quit stressing over the petty and inconsequential and am now embracing the happy shit, for however long it decides to stick around. So...yeah. Viva.[At times] Overwhelming flood of contentment directly coincides with my move to the District, but runs well beyond that. This life it is still relatively new, a work-in-progress that commenced slightly over two years ago, when I broke up with Bill and found myself alone, friendless and struggling to pay rent. It's taken me this long to find a balance in life that represents the best of who I am and want to be. So, profound meaning is assigned to seemingly simple things, like moving to a new city, overcoming insecurities to sing karaoke (last week: "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"), lounging around with my amazing boyfriend and equally amazing feline and finding myself in the company of folk who have shown me infinite patience through the worst of these past few years and genuinely care; it wasn't so long ago that I had nothing. And now I have nearly everything that I could possibly want (and arguably more than I deserve). Incredible. But I digress:* Still dragging my feet against setting up my Internet at home, hence absence of online presence. Give me a week or two to pull together some start-up fees and I promise to be less of a negligent bastard.* No Internet connection translates to reliance on crappy camera phone pictures. Take, for example, this picture of my new quasi-hipster bangs. (When in Rome...) Or this picture of a certain demon-cat, who has taken to climbing atop the accent wall in my bedroom and pouncing on my head at 3:00a. (Walls bare, as this was taken shortly after the move.) Behold the close-up. See? Demon.* More to come when work permits, but - in the meantime - I hope everyone is doing well.
