I would have to say that, although I have ardently used the internet for years, I've not truly made good use of it until the past several months. I have only recently come into the world of posts, blogs, and other internet-only phenomena. So I figure I'll try my hand at blogging.
I'm not really going to hand this address out, so if you're reading this, chances are you stumbled upon it. My writing will probably be very amatuerish, please forgive that. I have no idea what topics will be covered or to what depth, but that is kind of the point, isn't it? Anyway, about myself....
I'm 30 years old (bicentenial baby) and live in Birmingham, AL. Single for now, but I do have my eye on someone. My degree was in History, but my job is inside sales, go figure. I'm not exactly where I wanted to be at this point in my life, but I am okay with where I am. Looking back now that the year is closing, I would have to say that this has been the toughest so far. I opened with a good-paying job working for vultures while dating a sociopath. I'm not sure if that is the right definition for her behavior, but I think it is. She went away and the job went away about the same time. I'm better off without both, but we never see that at the time, do we?
All of that took place in Atlanta. I took the opportunity to move back to Birmingham. Made possible by one of the greatest friends you could hope to have, Crash (of course that's not his real name). While not having a job over the summer seems ideal in college, it's a bit stressful when you have bills to pay. I went back to waiting tables. Something I like....in small doses. After only 3 months I did land a new job. Making less money, but working with some great people. Because of that I've also met someone. I don't know if that will work out or not, but it's worth finding out.
All in all, this has been a tough year, but a good year still. I'm alive and healthy. I've gotten closer to old friends and made some great new ones. I'm closer to being out of debt. I might even be closer to knowing what I want to be when I grow up. If that ever happens.
That's a good start for now. I'll try to post every once in a while...why do I doubt myself on this?
