Three Shades of Awesome

So, many of you may be wondering why I’ve made so few updates lately.  Well… one of you may be wondering that.  So for that one person… in… argentina… who’s wondering, here’s the answer.

I’m happy.

I’ve been kind of scared about blogging about being happy, since evidence seems to suggest that a dark force of nature, potentially with green glowing eyes, reads my blog and hunts down all things that make me happy in an attempt to generate more content from me… it’s a theory.

See the last day of may, I had some rather lousy news, I found out I didn’t get into RRC, which I’m still trying to wrap my head around.  That said, the next day I met someone awesome, someone named Chris.   Chris happens to be cute, nice, smart, and in general, about as awesome as I am.  In fact, our awesome levels (technical term) seem so compatible that we’ve actually been seeing each other ever since we met, for those counting, we’re going on two months.

The whole situation, has left me… well rather happy.  It’s been rather eerie, but I have very little to complain about, which means, very little to blog about!  I mean, how many entries can you make about how happy you are?  That’s just not that interesting!

So, what’s happened in the mean time?  Well, I actually got a job as a graphic designer briefly, well… very briefly, just under 30 days sort of briefly, yah, really briefly.  I started out working in the “plate making room” at a label making company here in Winnipeg, I’d been told that I’d do two weeks in the back then I’d be in the art dept.  Turns out what they really wanted, was to string me along with the hope of that job, while actually planning on shoving me in whatever dept they felt like for a while.  So… yah.  I got one week of actually doing what I’d been told I was to be hired for, after that it was mostly repetitive work prompted by random beeping.  It really felt like just a level above watching the fry cooker at a fast food joint…

So, I actually quit that job yesterday.  But, never fear, I actually have a pretty good lead on a job that I’m rather sure I’ll enjoy a great deal… but I can’t really talk about that.  Until that all gets worked out though, I’m hoping to get back on at the call centre I was working at for a while, I actually kind of miss the people there.  Not to mention it gave me time to write while I wasn’t taking calls.  Not to mention when your whole job is giving people discounts on products, even if the pay sucks it’s hard to really hate your job.

But yah, in general, my spirits have been pretty well… stupidly good.  Turns out all those times people told me that “Nobody but you is going to make you happy” were actually totally wrong.  Turns out that actually, having someone to hold hands with, or to put my arm around, or to put my head in his lap while he runs his hands through my hair… is actually really good for me!  Turns out that having someone else in my life actually keeps me really grounded, and helps me not put all my eggs in one basket.  Turns out, in general, I’m a lot more sane when I’m in a relationship… or at least when I’m in a relationship with Chris.

I know you might be wondering about Chris, just a brief summary of him, he’s awesome.  That’s really all you need to know.  I don’t need anyone stalking him or anything, but seriously, he’s great, at first I nearly wrote him off because he was too hot to possibly work out with, but it turns out not only is he hot but he’s also smart!  And he’s a strong person.  All in all when I look at all the guys I was willing to settle for, I’m so glad that things didn’t work out, because I wouldn’t pick any of them over him.

Anyway, so for now, I’m hanging out at home, trying to finish off my book, playing through Final Fantasy 3, and in general enjoying life.
