| Hi!So, I figure it's been about forever since I posted here. Maybe I'll retrieve my archives and pull them over to Blogger. I don't know.
I was thinking last night about how this period of my life will probably be referred to as "when the world fell apart". It really feels that way. I can't quite decide when the world fell apart...but things have been just getting worse it seems for a couple of years. I remember being so glad to be starting a new year...I thought, maybe it will change and get better. But guess what? It didn't get better, it got worse - almost immediately after getting home from the holidays.
But anyway. I haven't talked to most of my friends in a while, so no one knows, and I'm kind of tired of that. And I really can't think of how I would even bring it up in conversation. So: my parents are getting divorced. It really really bites. It bites way more than I thought it could. I guess I really should have gone to FL over the holidays, since Matt had so much time off. Now, I don't have a home to go to - or won't soon anyway. And it will be a long time before either of us gets a job again with good vacation day options.
So, the world has fallen apart. My parents aren't together. My home in FL will be sold or foreclosed on. Our degrees can't get us jobs. My grandparents are getting older and sicker. I've been trying to cope for two years by pulling in...making my safe little home and being in it. But that isn't working...I need to look out to get out. I'm just really bad at it.
I know I am mostly whining here. But. My blog. I'll whine if I want to. :)

| I'm Alive.Yikes, I almost don't recognize Xanga anymore!
Hi, I'm alive. I feel like a bum. (And I only half care...but feel pretty guilty about it.) Pretty much the summary of my life.
So...Christmas, yaaaaaaaay.

| My Summer Vacation...
And, since the lolcat is out of the way, I also wanted to post some pics I took while in Evansville with my Geo...peoples. This sunset distracted me so much that I lost all the geologists that were leading me to the food and wandered around for a while. So naturally, all the fruit was gone by the time I found it. Lots o' barbeque and booze though!

| Hehehehe"...It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ocher and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown
Scarlet and black and ocher and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue..." | | |
| The "R" Word I really really wish the newscasters would stop saying things like this: "Keep your job." "This is not a good time to be looking for jobs."
Not a great thing for a grad student to hear on a Monday morning.
Ah well. Everything else is okay, for the moment. I'm making progress, albeit slow and painful, on my work, which I really hope I can wrap up before I have to get a job. The insurance is taking care of my van, so I might have it back from the shop by the end of the week. Matt's found a way to keep his ticket off his record. Our taxes are done. So...we'll be completely out of savings by the time taxes and our insurance is due. Oh well.
I'd better stop delaying and start coding! I hope no one gets mad at me for skipping forum today, but I have no way of getting to campus that is worth it for a one hour meeting.
