An Intro Of Sorts

Okay, as a first (actual) post, I decided to catch everyone up on my life. Don’t worry; I’ll be brief about it.

First off, earlier this year, I finally moved out of my parent’s house. I’m now living in my own little apartment by myself. It gets lonely, but I don’t think I’d do too well with a roommate unless we each had our own bathroom and such. Plus, my apartment is only a one bedroom, so there’s no room for a roommate anyway. I moved out back in April and have been doing pretty well since then. I recently signed up for internet in my apartment, and that has been wonderful. It’s nice to be able to go online without having to be at my friend’s or parent’s house… or at work. Hopefully, this will mean that I’m able to blog more often. (I used to only blog when I was at work.)

Currently, my life consists of: work, eating, sleeping and work with the occasional video game or movie thrown in there to mix things up. I can’t really afford to go to school now that I’m paying rent and utilities and bills and such. I know, I know, I should apply for some grants or scholarships to pay for school, and believe me, I’ve thought about it. The only problem is that I never really qualify for any of the scholarships due to not so good grades in high school. Also, I don’t really have much free time anymore, which would make school difficult, even for an online class. I can’t really afford to lower my hours at work because I need the full 40/week to pay for rent and such. So, I’m not really planning on any school in the foreseeable future.

Wow, that last paragraph really sounded like I was complaining, but I really wasn’t trying to make it sound that way.

Let’s see, what else has been going on in my recent life…? Well, I’m single, but that’s not really something new. I don’t really date anymore, simply because I don’t want to deal with the stress of it. The closest I’ve come to a date recently was at the Australian Pink Floyd concert I went to last night when a random drunk girl sat on me as a joke. How pathetic is that?
My younger brother, who is currently in England on and LDS mission, will be coming home in roughly two months. His release date is the day before Thanksgiving. My whole family is excited about that. It really doesn’t seem like he’s been gone for two years, but I guess it really has been that long, which is crazy to me.

It is strange how time seems to fly by faster the older you get. I remember when a year used to seem like it would drag by (probably because I was in school), but now, it’s already halfway through September. It seems like only yesterday my family was celebrating Christmas, and now I have to start shopping for presents again.

Well, that seems like enough of a catch up for now. If something else comes up, I’ll post it later. I’ve got some ideas for this blog that I’m going to try out. One of them is “I’m Sick Of” Fridays which will be my list of 10 things I’m sick and tired of. (Hopefully, people’s names won’t appear on those lists too often.) I’ll think of some other things to post on here to make it more than just a ranting or an “all about me” blog. Got any ideas for me of what I can post here? Share them in the comments.
