*Apartment life off campus. I had heard about it, it was like this mystery that had eluded me for all these years, and now, now I know. 11 years in a dorm. At least i got out before I was 30. I enjoyed it and all, its just unreal how it is on the "outside".

*My apartment. I have this cute little duplex in the Deering area that I share with two roommates and and a hounddog named Cooper. My room has four windows and hardwood floors. No elevator outside to make buzzing noises. No drunk people, unless its me with my usual one or two. Which, crazy I know.

*My new job. Have not started it yet, but I just have good vibes from it. I get to travel alot in the fall. Me in a car with my iPod. Its going to be some good thinking time. Maybe I should hire a scribe. A cute one with bedroom eyes, soft hands to hold that pen, and... I mean, thinking in my head is just fine.

*Taking full advantage of my two weeks off. Sun, books, comics, good times with friends. 4th on Chebeague. Its just been really nice after being so stressed out for so long.

*Comics -- Oh my word -- Y: The Last Man is rocking my world right now. I have caught up to the current issue in the past week. I can't get enough. Seriously, if you have not read it, you should. If you don't like comics or are rolling your eyes right now, stop being a fool. Trust me and just try this one. It has great drama, comedy, action. And some boobs. Brian K. Vaughn is quickly reaching Joss like status with me. Runaways and ExMachina are also wonderful.

*This iced Red Eye Chai I am drinking right now is pretty fantastic.

*Total health overhaul. Well, not total, but life away from the cafe and joining a gym are going to be good things. My demon hunter training is requiring me to be more of a stud, and who am I to tell the grand commander no.

*Even though its not as high on the best game scale, the new Gauntlet Saucier and I are playing is pretty cool. The world needs more hack and slash video games that involve co-op play.

*Creatively, I am sparking again. Job and apartment hunting took all of my energy. I am starting to refuel again. I want to actually write a comic. I want to do this shoebox project. I want to just take over the fucking world with words and paint and yarn and cloth and yelling life all over the place. I think it will be a blast.
