forever and a day

So many things to update anyone that cares to be following the blog anymore.

Firstly: Thanks for sticking around?

Secondly and any other number word to follow: here we go :)

As many may remember, I've been separated for a while... well, our paperwork was finally filed back in December, unfortunately nothing has come from the courts concerning that yet. I would have gone this past Tuesday to the courts with some "certificates" from us doing our parenting class (required in Florida for divorcing couples that have children involved) but that was also the day that my computer started acting up. What's wrong with it? Well, it sounds like a capacitor going out. Now, the big question lies in: is it on the motherboard, or is it in the power supply? ... Unfortunately I don't have a spare PSU sitting around to test tht out. Luckily I've got a friend that has one...unfortunately though he's not got a ride to bring it over and I've been so busy lately (with stuff that I'll write about in a bit) that I've not gotten over to his place to get it. The other unfortunate bit with it, is that I have a bad feeling that it is on the motherboard.

I've been in the Firefall closed beta from wave 1 of invites, and had been so excited with it when the servers came up for us to test. I used to get on whenever the servers came up and stayed as long as the servers would allow us. Recently they brought the servers up to 24/7 operation, and thus allowed the testers unlimited access. We broke the AI server a couple times already LOL. On the Friday of PAX, the NDA was lifted, and therefore we're able to freely talk about what's in there currently. As such, I will be making some blog posts specifically about it (when my main computer gets up that is) sometime.

I've been so busy with testing Firefall that i've not been on here much.... the other newer reason for my lack of posting: I landed a job finally! I now am employed by SeaWorld of Orlando! Crazily enough, even though I'd stated I have a bad back thanks to the USMC, I'm running rides in the kid's section of the main park. I've been having a blast at it though, despite having my back scream at me sometimes. Oh well. I'm happy with the job and look forward to continuing as long as possible.

Through having the job there, I'd recently (just this past Monday actually) gotten asked the simple question of "what do you do at SeaWorld" ... on a social media site that a friend from long ago got me onto... The person that asked me the question wasn't someone I knew. They'd found me through the "local posts" feature of the site, and just wanted to ask the simple question seeing as they have season passes currently for herself and her kids. A few cautious and well-worded responses later, I find that she's single as well. I started lightly flirting with her to test the waters so to say...and quickly find that she may be interested in me. A bit more back-n-forth messages and we started texting (much easier than writing on that site as you have to refresh constantly to see if a response came back). Shortly thereafter it becomes known that she's got a headache, so I offer my knowledge in some pressure point massage to help her head some. Flirting was had by both of us when she came over... and well... things have been going awesomely between us. We've gotten to know each other real fast, but not too fast. And we're just super happy together so far, despite all the adversities that are unique to each other. As it stands currently, we can't seem to get the other off each other's minds... nor can we seem to wait to see each other again. She's already helped me out by giving me a lift the other day from the mechanics near her place back to my parent's house ... and subsequently met my parents.

Strange for it to be moving so fast, but the relationship I have with her is feeling just... perfect so far. We're both hoping that things continue to work out, and eventually blossom further, but we're trying to take it slow...despite how right everything feels between us. We're on the same wavelength so to say when it comes to asking questions about each other, and have already had times where we'd answer questions or ask the same one to each other at the same time...I mean quite literally, I'd be typing up a question and get a message asking the very same thing!

Happiness comes in many forms... and this time for me... it's in the form of a beautiful woman that actually likes me back :)  more info to follow as things progress heh heh.
