Today I went back through all these pages, just for the hell of it, and my God, I sound like an idiot most of the time! The weird thing is that so little of what's in here is actually what was going on on a day-to-day basis in my life. So weird.

Anywho, I've come a long way since starting this thing, I think. I still miss J all the time, that's for sure. But I'm better now. I'm surprised by how many entries in here have to do with dating, since I've done so little of it in the last 5 or so years. Afer the BGN, I didn't have sex again until about 7 weeks ago. I shit you not, Diary. 7 weeks ago. I almost went for 6 years. And then, with the recent guy? Dumped him a few weeks later.

Anywho, much else has happened, I suppose, and then again, much has stayed the same. I still live in the same city, though I've moved apartments...same building. Woot. So exciting. Same job, same people around, for the most part.

A little while ago my life-coach forced me (I'm not joking even a little bit) to get up on Facebook, which has been sort of life-altering. I'm back in touch with friends I never thought I'd see or hear from again. It's been very therapeutic, and I credit my coach with having the insight to know it was something I would need. It truly has been a great tool for me to get un-isolated. I'm still working on my social retardation, but I feel like it's getting better, and like I have the choice between staying home and doing nothing or going out and getting a life. This is good.

It's election day today. History will be made today, regardless of the outcome of many of the ballot items. If McCain/Palin win I will finally believe that the country is going to hell and that I am in the minority of people still living here who have and use a brain. If Prop 8 passes, I'll go back to being afraid of bigotry around the corner and nationwide. Could be a very joyous or very harrowing outcome, and I can't wait for the returns to start coming in. About 4 more hours to wait. I'll be working when they start coming in.

That's about the update at this point. There's much more to tell, but if I start writing in here again, I suppose it'll all get in here at some point, eh? No rush...
