The Journey Is More Important Than The Beginning Or The End.

Listening to: Hoobastank: Every Man For Himself (The First of Me)

Wow, I have neglected my life documentation as of late. Been busy though, ya know?

Now that I think back, it has been a long time. Christmas came and went. No white Christmas this year, but it was compensated with the time I got to spend with my family, who I really miss. I haven't been home since Christmas. I devote myself to my job, school and afterwards, I retire the night with some videogames. I was in hibernation mode through this last few months. You would be lucky to see me step out of my house on my free time.

Occasionally I would go to the mall. I have a new Nintendo DS that Mom got me for Xmas. Rachel plays it more than I do though! I can't pry her off of it. So while she enjoyed trying to beat the new Final Fantasy III before I could, I replayed Final Fantasy XII, which IMO, is one of the best games I have ever played. The second time through was just as good as the first, if not better. I caught more of the storyline and experienced it better because I knew what was going on (it's a game about waring empires, and politics, with constant reference to other cultures you don't learn full about untill the end of the game). I finally finished it my second time through tonight for Rachel, so she could watch the end of the game. I have Dave hooked on it now as well (which says a lot, he isn't a big fan of console games).

This last week, after years of waiting, and a month and a half of hunting for it, I got my hands on a copy of the SNES port to Gameboy of Final Fantasy VI. It has been 10 years since I have played that game, and it is bringing back a lot of memories. I also picked up the port of Final Fantasy IV, thus completing my Final Fantasy Collection, exluding Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation One.

Rachel and Dave both work at the gas station now. I worry about Rei. She is dedicated to the Gas Station as much as I am. Helping out when we stop in to pick up smokes, or something to drink. Coming in when they need a hand. It wears on me, but she is taking 2 more classes than I am and working another part time job. Her and I never get to spend any time together anymore, and we share the same bed... she is exhausting herself. That girl is a warrior.

School is going great. I am one of the top students in my College Math and Digital Illustration classes. I am also one of the best employees at my job (so says my management). I get along great with new management. They are really cool people. Sue is my store manager, and Kim and Lesa are assistants. Sue kinda reminds me of my own mother because of how she doesn't take shit from anyone. lol, even if she is far right wing republican, she is pretty cool. Kim is a year younger than me, so I like to pick on her when she is being an airhead (which is often... lol... I will prolly receive crap from her at work now) >.>

So over all life is rolling through the days without slowing down any. Today we hit 65 degrees and it was beautiful out. I have the window open now and enjoying being able to sit around in my tank top without freezing. I feel revitalized, and motivated. Hopefully all this energy lasts through the next week, when I can finally return to Shelby and see my family. I miss them dearly.

Joey and Cody's birthdays are coming up. I will prolly go out to the mall and birthday shop for them. That is one of the reasons for me to return home. The other is because I need to see my family. I am going crazy being cut off from everyone I care about. I am stealing Rachel that weekend too. Hopefully... that is. Her second job might not be so gracious as to let her go with out a problem. *grumbles*

Well, I guess I am going to end this, close my laptop and open my gameboy and retire for the night. Just letting everyone know I am still alive, kickin, and cocky as ever.
