Hi, folks! I fell of the edge of the world for a while, but I am stilll here! Between work and computer issues, I just haven't been able to do more than log in occasionally. I've moved into an apartment in Rancho Santa Margarita, been working like a madman and looking for a new job with less stress, fighting in the SCA, and dating a bit.

I won an all-expenses-paid trip to a resort on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia (sales contest at work). I took my friend Manya, and it was amazing. I didn't realize it was possible to relax that much. All I had to do for most of 5 days was eat and sleep and swim and screw. One thing I had to do was go to dinner with the other contest winners, aboard a ship that was used in the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies. All in all, sweeeeeeeet.
