Time for a bit of an update.
My new temporary job should be okay. I started training today. Nothing too difficult, or challenging either, but it will do while I search for "real" work.
I picked up the first two seasons of Smallville a while back and I have finished watching them all finally. I am truly a passionate and devoted comic nerd and that show sucks me in every week. Love it!
My big news is that after nearly a year of fucking around I have finally started taking my writing seriously as a hobby. I foo-fooed my way around it and pissed time away before but now I am starting to really take it seriously as an art and as something I love. I'm not going to cheat on my writing with video games or tv or just endless web-surfing anymore. I need to devote myself a little bit each day and make it an integral part of my life.
My gym trips are becoming more frequent again and I love it. I am going to start weighing myself every two weeks and posting my progress on here starting Friday (I hope.)
I read Elphie's journal earlier and I can truly relate to her feelings regarding job loss. I have spent most of the last year and a half since graduating college bobbling around from one temp job to another trying to find something serious to sink my teeth into and have yet to find one. A job is an important part of one's identity and when I don't have one, I certainly feel like less of a person. People have enough stressors in their lives with girlfriends/boyfriends, family, etc that being dropped from a job can really put the old crusharoo on the heart.
For tonight my top and bottom 5:
Top:
1. Smallville
2. The Gym
3. Elphie
4. Writing
5. My growing beard
Bottom:
1. Job Loss
2. Job Seeking
3. Adjusting sleep schedules
4. Tummy Aches
5. The annoying guy in my training group at work.

just remember though, if you do it you have a the first draft of your novel done in only about a year.
writing is si terribly difficult because it required complete self motivation. good luck!!!!
