Lots of tumblr lately. I have all of three followers now. Decided when I started it that I wanted a place online where I could post everything I like/enjoy/am thinking about. For the moment hoping to stay pretty anonymous (no names or super revealing details; I don't want people that I haven't met since moving to Portland to find me; SG people excluded).
Because of tumblr I found out there's a well established motorcycle scene here in Portland. I had no idea before. I'm really happy about it. Riding has become such a large part of my life/who I am, and I want to meet some like-minded people. I may have found a way to do that.
Work is going really well, a trend that should continue. Its so nice to be in a place where the effort I put in is genuinely appreciated. I'm picking up things very quickly, and everyone has been super nice.
My new riding gear hasn't arrived yet. I can't express how much I'm looking forward to it, and I hope everything fits perfectly. I ordered this in hi-vis yellow and this in black. All user reviews point to awesome, which is great since I'm kinda sick of having sub-standard riding gear, especially for wet/cold weather. The gear I have was fine when my commute was only four miles each way, but not so good for 20 each way, a lot of that sitting on I5.
I used to get really depressed/angry around Christmas. I've spent most years (Christmas and New Years) alone, and I couldn't handle it in a positive way. Last year was better, and this year I'm finally ok with how things are. No anger or depression. I've come a long way, and I'm thankful for what I have, and the possibilities in the new year. I don't miss being 25 and feeling completely fucked up. I'm still kinda socially awkward, but thats basically who I am. The people I know will just have to forgive me for that.
Anyway. All is well. I hope this Christmas and New Year's is filled with family and love for you.
Night.
