I just got back from my vacation in Valdosta with  some friends. I had a great time with some great people and one particularly perfect individual. I really hated having to come back. I feel like my life is boring again. But boring can be good sometimes.Now I'm back to the old grind stone.

Though just before I "officially" returned home and saw The Woman In Black. I HIGHLY recommend it if you like scary movies. I've never been to a scary movie in theaters but I highly enjoyed it. Its got a lot of jump-scares but the other creepy stuff has you gripping the arm rests in suspense. I didn't jump at all the scares but when I didn't jump I still felt a thrill of fear run op my spine more than once. All in all. Great movie. I liked the ending as well. A proper ending to a ghost story.

Anyway, I got a load of new Dubstep music from my boy. I'm kinda getting into it. Though I think its definitely an acquired taste. Anyway, see ya round.

<sup>OK, for those of you who are unaware, my birthday just passed and honestly it was the best birthday I ever remember having.

So, basically, I got taken out to a restaurant and it was really nice and awesome! Then I went over to a friend's house where a SURPRISE PARTY was waiting for me!! No one has thrown me a surprise party like that! If someone does throw me a surprise party they usually hint to it a little but I was completely blind sided this time. It was awesome.

So, after some people started showing up, we started drinking and I got pretty drunk. Though, despite how drunk I got I didn't throw up nor did I wake up the next day and forget what happened. I drink in moderation. I don't drink too much at one time.

Anyway, the next day I went back home and I walked right in the door just as scrambled eggs, sausage and cinnamon rolls were finished being made!! I hadn't even told my parents when I would be home! Lol My timing is maximum! Anyway, my parents got me a present, it's an awesome STEREO!!!! It's got and ipod dock that charges the ipod while playing it AND had a digital radio tuner display! Its so amazing. I also got an iTouch too! I'm a little bummed out that its 2nd generation (I think) so it goesn't have a camera nor a microphone BUT... It's still pretty cool to have one.

Anyway, I am really really happy right now. All is right with the world. Alright, later everyone!! Thanks to everyone here that wished me a happy birthday too!</sup>

Hello everyone! I've got some news. But first, if reality is perception, and everyone has a unique and personal way of perceiving things, then how can anyone have a warped sense of reality?? Just a rhetorical question. I don't expect serious answers but if you want to put in your two cents on the topic that's fine too.

Anyway...

I got my laptop fixed! And I have steady use of the internet which is something I haven't had for the past couple of years so it feels really good to be back roaming the web at my leisure. Also, I'm hoping to get re-acquainted with some of the online friends I made before my laptop busted so I look forward to hopefully hearing from them (y'all).

I'm really kinda disappointed in myself at present though. I haven't drawn much at all lately. I just haven't really been moved to do so. I feel like I even have to force myself to doodle every so often. Sometimes I'll get the inspiration going but no matter how fast I open my sketchbook, as soon as pencil touches paper I freeze and lose what drove me to draw in the first place, like I'm constantly second guessing myself. I'm not entirely sure what to do about it either... I think I know what the issue is but I dare not mention it for fear of bringing it to the forefront of my mind.

But aside from that I'm doing great. My job is still as good as it was when I was hired (really good). I'm in a solid relationship with someone I care about very deeply. I'm actually saving money more than I'm spending it which is fantastic. I'm in a great place right now.

Talk to you guys soon.

Alright, this guy I like came back into town and we had a talk and said things that needed to be said and said things that wanted to be said (in that order) But thats not what I'm writing this journal about!!!!

I WENT TO SEE WICKED!!!!!

Ok, I live near Atlanta and have done all my life and occasionally, when I was young, my parents would take us to see shows at The Fox Theatre *dramatic music* and it was fantastic and amazing every time little elementary school Raito went there. WELL... I haven't been back there in a long time. (I think the last show I saw at The Fox Theatre was Radio City Rockets Christmas thingy and I was 13 or 14 maybe.) Anyway, I haven't been back there in many years due to the lengthy drive (i.e. high gas prices) and the expensive multiple $60+ tickets. Anyway, my friend said that his mother wasn't able to go so he gave me the extra ticket. And it was Wicked!! I'd been wanting to see Wicked for quite some time (since highschool) and I was going with awesome people! We left and got there a couple hours early so we walked around and had lunch at a fancy italian place. We went and got matching souvineers before the show (which really made a blow to my wallet but it was worth it for the memories). So we went and watched Wicked and it was so amazing. If you think you can just get by with soundtrack, you're probably right but the entire stage show is just really amazing and funny and you should really see it--bucket list it!!! Anyway, we saw it and it was great, I applauded until my arms hurt.

One of the best days of my life.

Ah and before that I went to AWA and had a good time.

Anyway, I'm in a fairly good place in my life, personally and mentally, I think. So, yeah, that's about it.

Oh and I added First of The Year by Skrillex and Ambling Alp by Yeasayer onto my iPod.

Okthatsallbye!

<sup>FYI I'm BLASTING Ambling Alps

I've been wanting to do a journal on here for quite some time but as the computer I'm using isn't mine I don't really have time to pre-compose one so I'll do my best to cover some of the major happenings in my life (for the people who haven't given up on hearing from me ever).

I want to Gaylaxicon (a local convention for gay nerds, geeks, and gamers) and it was pretty awesome! A guy came up to me and commissioned work from me! My first commission!!!! I'm really kind of proud of myself. :3

I finally got an official paying job!! I don't get paid a lot but its a massive amount than what I got before! (......$0) Lol I also work with some pretty cool people and have a great boss.

Also (this is the first time I've mentioned this "out loud"), a couple of my best friends have asked me to move out of my parents' house and move into a house that they'll be getting. Honestly I'm a little apprehensive about it because its on of the biggest changes to make in your adult life and I'm just a smidge nervous. I know I'll move out eventually (I have to) but I get the feeling that its a bit of a fast decision to make. I dunno (and yes those friends will most likely be reading this).

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment so I'll do my best to update my journals and art more often.

Love y'all.</sup>
