Hello Blogger, My Old Friend
(PSB – Being Boring)

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything. I don’t have any excuses of being "busy". You know you’ll always make time for the things you love to do, even if you’re busy. I just haven’t had any inclination to write lately. I’ve had nothing loathe-worthy to write about, nor any creative stories to tell. I’ve just been happy living and enjoying the things I have around me. My family is still as dysfunctional as ever but we love each other; my friends have been a great bunch to have around; and of course Sonia has been amazing. It’s funny, I’m not doing much different these days but I honestly feel like my situation has drastically improved. I shaved all my hair off last Friday. Maybe in the process, I shed all the things in my head that were weighing me down.

So what’s new in my life these days? I’m going to see Les Miserables with Sonia sometime in the next month because the production is back in town. At the end of this month I’ve got tickets to see Metric live at the Phoenix concert theatre. Three of my friends got engaged over the summer. One got married. My best friend just moved into his new house with his gf. One of my other close friends is dating another close friend’s ex-gf. My younger sister just moved up north to teach at a school for a year. Another close friend is on his way back from Australia in 2 months, after a year sabbatical. Autumn is just around the corner and the winds of change are starting to swirl.

(We were never being boring. We had too much time to find for ourselves.)

Several classmates got married over the summer, and some are celebrating their one or two year wedding anniversaries.. It's all kind of scary. Do you feel any pressure to marry yet?

To be honest, there's a little pressure but you have to make decisions based on your own timetable, not society's timetable. I'd like to get married before I hit 35 though :)
