A Small Update

Hello, everyone.  I'm publishing this from my new WordPress blog, but it's going to cross-post to LiveJournal.  I just wanted to give you an update on my life, since it's been about 2 years since I've regularly blogged anything.  The problem was that I was dating this guy Kevin, and he didn't like me to be honest.  He didn't appreciate that I'd ever write the truth.  I wasn't always happy with him.  He was logging into my LiveJournal and reading entries.  Reading entries that existed before I was dating him, and during.  I'd change my LiveJournal password and he'd still do this.  In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow found my WordPress blog as well, but that's besides the point.  I want to be able to write with honesty and not have to worry about someone reading it and feeling hurt.  I did end up leaving him, thankfully.  I no longer felt my trust would be compromised in any way.

I work at a web-hosting company now, (and they're not hosting this blog, someone else is.)  I met a boy there, and his name is Brady.  I had a small, insignificant crush on Brady when I first met him, but I didn't let this bother me, since I was with Kevin.  I just wanted to get to know him a little more though.  He seemed to be pretty cool and liked good music.  In October of 2008 I went with my friend Allyson to see Hanson in Atlantic City.  We somehow convinced a couple of guy friends from work to come hang out with us after the show.  Brady was one of those guys.  We hung out and drank and had fun, and I was good, knowing I had a boyfriend at home.  But after that weekend, Brady let me know that he really liked me and wanted to get to know me more.

Kevin and I were constantly off and on, and I honestly didn't see much hope left in the relationship, so I let it end, as I should have done months before.  I wasn't really ready for a relationship with Brady yet, but I found myself hanging out with him more and more, until it was obvious what it had become.  Essentially we fell in love within the first few months, and now I live with him in Bear, Delaware, along with his friend Bryan.  We have 4 cats and 1 fish, and probably twice as many computers as cats.  I'm pretty happy, as happy as I can be.  I've since worked for the hosting company for a little over a year, and I've been with Brady for 6 months.  I can see a pretty decent future for us.

I've also become vegetarian again.  This is something I have wanted to do for a while.  I was vegetarian for  5 years, starting in highschool and lasting throughout college.  I stopped for some reason, maybe because Mike, my ex, promised to cook for me if *only* I would eat chicken.   I remember he bought me a chicken sandwich at Wendy's, and I cried over it, and then ate the sandwich, covered in salt from my tears.  I eventually got over it and began eating meat again.  I've been questioning myself as to why I made that move.  I don't particularly like meat, and I knew it was cruel, yet I kept eating it.  Friends like Sarah and Mike (another Mike I know from working at Apple) helped me get back to myself.

I don't have much else to say, but I can promise I will start blogging on a regular basis again.  I do check and read LiveJournal, so if you want to add me, feel free.  I will read your posts.  Just comment here at WordPress what your username is.  And feel free to comment either here or there, I will read both.

I'm very much looking forward to doing this again.
