I posted are you happy?

So I’ve been reminded that I haven’t written anything new for some time. To tell the truth this made me happy because I wasn’t sure if anyone read this thing I call a blog any longer. In all actuality I was feeling a bit of a burnout from last semester, but now I think I’m recovered enough to do a regular posting schedule again. I think I’m going to aim for once a week again.

A lot has happened since I last time I made wrote a more personal article. Let’s see if I can bring you all back up to speed. In January my car was broken into, and to help me cope with getting it fixed and paying tuition my parents invited me to move back home. I accepted and lived in there guest house (ok it’s a shed) from February to June.

One of the upshots was that not only did I live there rent free, but I also lived on my Mom’s exquisite cooking. The down side was that I also gained over five pounds shortly after moving in (My mom’s cooking is very good).  I have since moved back out of my parent’s home, and of course promptly lost five pounds.

While I enjoy living away from home, living with mom and dad had its highlights, for one I loved spending time talking to my dad about politics, history, and philosophy. Also enjoyed the conversations I had with my mom, and spending time with my brothers. Living next door to my older brother and sister-in-law (Girl Next Door) was also fun, and I’ll miss all the time I spent with my family. That said it’s not like I moved to a different state, or even out of town. In fact I live within walking distance still form my parent’s house; that’s if you count three or four blocks as walking distance.

So I’ve been moved out for about a week now, and still haven’t got all of my things unpacked, though I’m mostly done. I also again live in a place without a TV, but I use the internet to watch shows I like anyhow. This will also keep me from developing any new TV addictions.

This past weekend was Utah’s annual Gay Pride celebrations, which were fun. Of course for me the best part was talking to the protesters outside of the festival and being told that I was “one of the more enlightened of my type”. I should surely hope not, I would hope there are plenty of gay people more enlightened then me, but it was interesting to hear from a conversation with a protester.

Anyhow that brings you up to speed, just so you know I will also be posing my last essay from school soon. I hadn’t posted it yet because it was a group paper, but I think I will go ahead and post it anyhow.

Until next time,
