Thanks for the warm welcomes back! 
I am glad to be back!
My New Year's Eve was MUCH better than I expected it to be. I didn't have plans until pretty much the last minute. I went to dinner with one of my besties, Nicki. Sushi, yum! I would eat sushi every day if my wallet could agree to that. Then Nicki, me, and some of her (our?) other girl-friends went out to our favorite bar downtown. Turns out that this past December was the month for EVERYONE to break up, so we were all out drinking and toasting to fresh beginnings and new dreams. Kissed a couple lovely ladies at midnight while we had guys buying us drinks (can I tell you how long it's been since a random guy at a bar has bought me a drink?...I think about 7 years...yikes...but then again, it could be because I usually go to the bar with a group of guys...might be too intimidating...)
I get a bad hangover about once every 2-3 years. I had one this past weekend. I saved my grocery shopping until Saturday morning, which was super smart, then on top of that I decided I HAD to go to the new Giant Eagle Market District since I had time - I had heard that they had homemade gelatos, wine tasting, and a spot to make your own nut butters (all of which is true). I should have waited for another time...it's really hard to enjoy a kick-ass grocery store when you're trying to decide if that hangover is going to make you throw up.
Classes started today...I will be at work everyday, then in class Monday, Tuesday nights for the entire quarter, with classes also over my lunch break every day. 2 more quarters and then I graduate. June 11th, 2011. One of my first sorry-for-myself thoughts when Dustin and I broke up was "Shit...who is going to come to my graduation now and be proud of me?...I worked SO hard for SO long..." But, you know...my parents will be there. My Dad will cry - he always does when he's super proud of me. And I will be proud of myself.
Things at home are very peaceful. Dustin is at work, in class, and out with his friends doing his thing. I am at work, in class, and out with friends doing my thing. So far, keeping him as a roommate is not something I regret. I say so far. That could change. He still has moments when he is REALLY hostile about me with other guys. He doesn't have the right to say anything about anything, but I figure eventually I will have to break him of his hostility and sleep with someone else. I certainly didn't try to be with anyone else when I was with him, but he was always paranoid and I got the third-degree no matter what I did, to the point that I was uncomfortable being friends with anyone who had a penis. Hell, I haven't tried to be with anyone since we split up. I have been feeling like I should wait until I am with someone that I literally want to attack...someone who gives off that "naughty" vibe that I crave...I feel like now that I have the freedom to be with someone else, I want it to be a GREAT night (or possibly weekend
). One that will be worth the hassle I will have to endure when I get home.
Well, have a good first week to the new year, kids.

Maybe its time to make some of the choices you couldnt/weren't allowed to make before. That might let some bigger light in on all of it. Then that could mean more options.

I know what you mean with the arnold classic. When I first heard about it I thought only body building. Then it turns out to have everything short of monster trucks. Its funny because at my gym you can tell who has been to it because the next week they are loaded up with free samples from the expo.
