Back at It

Well, I'm about to leave this office for good and try my hand in the real world for a little while. Got a couple jobs lined up which should keep me plenty busy as I keep slugging away, hopefully I'll properly establish my adulthood by getting my own place soon.

It's all pretty boring. I mean, I had a great time in high school with all y'alls when you were here. When peter came back to visit it was a really fun throwback to the dumb fun we used to have back then. Felt exactly the same now despite us being somewhat different. I really liked that.

Then I had a great time in university. I met lots of pretty great people, had a really good time, in similar and different nerdy ways than I did when I was in high school with you guys. But it was still dope, and by dope I mean rad, and by rad I mean great.

Now all of those people I used to know have gone to work at various agencies and companies and they all say generally the same thing; it's boring. They don't connect well with the people at work, they just sort of get jobs they're not that passionate about and they finish them... they feel really unfulfilled. It must be weird working in such a structured place doing artsy fartsy work like those that graduate from my program do indeed work on. It doesn't suit us well.

My new job is at slightly social making games. Facebook games, yeah, but it's definitely doing something I'll find really fun. Most of the company's employees seem to work from home, which I'd end up doing, sure. But that'd be even more boring. I'd have to work really hard to keep meaningful connections with people and get out enough to not drive myself crazy.

I've been very strongly considering moving out west to Vancouver with elle, chris, that crowd. Get the money to train over to peter every once in a while, or maybe just get a car to drive through the mountains every once in a while. I guess that's the real goal... I'd love to be out there. I guess that's what I'll work toward doing in the next year.

I don't have high expectations from getting the natural fun times out of the grown-up life like I got out of the university life or the high school life. It sounds like those times will take a lot more work. So, I just have to find out how that'll work... I'll figure it out, though. Stay tuned? Or tell me about your life now? I'd like that. =O
