GAHHHI just need a quick rant! Work has been SO INCREDIBLY stressful. I was recently "promoted" to Trainer/Admin/Peer Review -responsible person but without a real title - which is great, don't get me wrong! I've been at the same job for 5.5 years so it's wonderful to have a challenge and use my experience and abilities for once. But recently, we've been going through so many changes it's been hard. 3 new employees in 3 months, which is crazy, trust me.
So, I haven't had time for anything, at all, except unwind when I have the chance. Barely.
And now, I'm trying to get my RTX shit in line - which is proving difficult. I need to get by butt into gear for my donation items for the auction. My biggest concern though is getting transportation.... I can't find flights to Austin from Tucson for under 500... which is DOUBLE of last year. If they don't go down or I find a safe and realistic option, I don't know what I'm going to do.
This is all on top of my cat I've had since he was 2wks old has gone missing, my dogs broke my valuable antique lamp, and oh yeah my landlord may sell the house I'm living in and kick us out.

AHHHHHH!!!! I'm just overwhelmed... Needed a place to vent. Thank you.

Nervousness of... Growing up? :shurgs:So, for YEARS I've been fighting to work (like a grown self supporting adult) and pay for school, because financial aid is a very broken system here in the states. I graduated "high school" when I was 16, so that's how long this has been drug out.
This year I finally am considered a "non-traditional" student or "financially independent," and I've just submitted my application for aid, and now it's time to start sorting stuff out with the University. All of this is literally giving me butterflies, can't say this is a feeling I'm used to. It's all years after I wanted to do this, but it's finally time to step up my game ultimately and hopefully make a difference in the world.
I don't really know where I'm going with all this, just a bit nervous and needed to write it out. Maybe when I can articulate myself a bit better I'll try this again. Thanks for reading

I've missed you all!It's been a really long time since I've done anything but ~~stalk~~ check on people and things on here. And I've missed interacting with all of you!! BUT! Now things are starting to really settle down I'm going to try to make more time to be active on here.

I was selected again to be a Guardian for this RTX! Words can't explain how excited I am.. I miss Austin so damn much, and can't wait to create, make, and have a fantastic experience with you all. <3

Besides some personal stuff, work and a move have mostly dominated major events in my life. I moved in with my dear friend and her BF... I love her dearly, but I miss living alone SO BAD! I miss my own space, being in charge of everything, and walking around naked whenever I please. :b
At work I was sort of promoted.. sort of.. I'm an Admin now, so I have a lot of responsibility in maintaining the Peer Review system and organizing meetings and such, the job I've been at for over 5yrs is finally feeling fulfilling and putting my skills and experience to use! Lot of work, but I'm digging it.

These next couple of months I feel like a lot of things are going to start coming together, as long as I put the work into it; which of course I will. Hopefully, I'll be settled in, hammer out a decent personal schedule where I can enjoy my own extracurricular activities, and prep for RTX - I'm taking a whole week off of work (much to my bosses dislike) and it's going to be magical! Much love, and I hope to talk to you all soon.

Times are toughIt's been a minute since I've posted anything or really been active.

Things haven't been going very well. I guess that's not completely fair, there have been a couple of good things, but what has been keeping me from here and various other activities are the unpleasant things. Personal medical stuff, finances, and family stuff... It's been hard to push through, but hoping the next couple of months will be better.

Good things are: Today, 4 days after my parents 29th wedding anniversary they have been completely approved for their first house!!!

I no longer live with then as of like 4 years ago, but it still warms my heart knowing they finally get what they deserve. Second good thing is I've been fortunate enough to have been in the company of a kind man for the past few weeks. He's given me reasons to smile and enjoys me for all of my quirks and dorkiness. And he has great taste in shows and gaming. ^.^

So through all this crap, I'm trying to remember these good things.

Well friends, till next time,

F.U. Man!!Squeeee!!!!

I haven't even had a chance to make my proper RTX blog and here I am the Feautured User. Thanks to the lovely gents of Sidequest for that. I've been on the site for over 6yrs and this is my first FU. I'm grinning like an idiot.

If I can't squeeze in time to write completely about RTX by this weekend I'll just hammer one out, promise.

In theoryI really do plan on writing an RTX Blog of ~~all~~ most of the stuff that happened during that magical experience; but frankly I'm still burnt out and have real life stuff to do till the weekend. Props to all of you who can do regular blogging, because it's tough for me! So, I promise blog and pics to come.

And I love you and miss everyone I had a great time with over the weekend. I'm not an overly affectionate person, so I hope you all know how much it means that I love this community and I think it's the best. On top of having one of the best weekends on record, you guys helped me realize a couple of things about myself, which is trippy. Anyways, enough for now.

Squeeee I'm here!!!Im in Austin, sitting in my first hotel of the trip. I have it all to myself, and its beautiful! I can't stop grinning I'm so happy to be here! On the bus to the hotel, all the seats where taken and a thuggy gangbanger guy flagged me down and gave me his seat. I've never had that happen in Tucson by a reputible looking person, let anyone someone with a tear drop tattoo! And a deaf lady yelled at me for trying to help her, but sometimes the deaf are jerks.

Now I'm going to enjoy a bath in this awesome tub and watch fireworks tonight at the lake! More soon!

Stay frosty and awesome!
