Blog gap review
After pondering long and hard as to whether to try to do a full remembrance of the previous year, a month-by-month recount of the high points, or just a quick summary followed by getting right back into the present, I have decided on the last. Trying to remember the entire year would be troublesome, as I would doubtless leave out huge swaths of stuff that are as life changing as any other...swath could be. So, the only thing I can really offer up are the 7 most important distinctions between now and then:
Of course, since it's only been a year, there is much more that is the same than different.
There is but one more thing I kept telling myself needed to be in this little bit of nostalgia: Chris Brodt's New Year's Party was quite possibly the most fun and most intoxicating event I have ever attended. Many thanks to the boy for hosting, and for the random guys who drove me and 10 or so others to Norman Denny's while I was still drunk.
I look really good dressed in black.
1. I am legally divorced. FD-2004-4356 is the number of my ticket to freedom.
2. I am back in school. Part time, but it's part time closer to my degree than I was.
3. I am employed by Hertz. This was the reason why the blog went away in the first place, as Hertz isn't willing to give me free webspace while I work for them.
4. I have made some number of new friends, while alienating pleasantly few. Suspiciously, many of the new friends are of the feminine persuasion, the generous majority of whom are cute (the remaining being just plain hot).
5. I look somewhat different. I have grown my hair out (cf. here). It's now past my shoulders. I'm not really sure when it's getting cut, but the voters have spoken to extend the deadline of early March indefinitely. A new deadline will be created shortly. I have also lost between 30 and 35 pounds, from exercise and the "don't eat so much" diet.
6. Nathan and Denise are now quite romantically involved. Why, do you ask, does the pairing of my the one-time object of what anger I have and the President of the Billy Lieurance Fan Club (also CEO of BillyLieuranceNet LLC.) meet with my approval? It's all wrapped up in that "wanting what makes others happy" thing I do. It was rather weird for a while, but has gotten significantly better.
7. I have decided that "Only in Dreams" is the best possible bar song. Luckily both Edna's and every HenHud I can find has the Blue Album on the jukebox.

Of course, since it's only been a year, there is much more that is the same than different.
1. I'm running around with much the same crowd, spending extremely (un)reasonable amounts of time at Denny's.
2. Special Kitty is still the adorable, borderline idiotic friend she always has been.
3. I'm still single.
4. I still believe that The West Wing is the best show on TV.
5. I'm still far too liberal for my own good.

We never did find out who those guys were. Thank you for going with me and Ryleigh so that we were not sexually assaulted.
So thus I end this comment with something I have often asked myself in the three months since that fateful night: Who the fuck were those guys??!
