I know, I know, it's been over a month since I posted anything, but my life really hasn't been post-worthy. The last thing I wanted to do was to come on my blog and moan about how bad things are going in my life. There are a heck of a lot of people out there who have it a heck of a lot worse then me. Also, I notice that I've been using this blog as a pity party, and I really didn't need to do that on top of everything else.

I guess I've just been really introspective the last month, and didn't have too much to say about it lately. Plus, I haven't been up to that much.

I've been working various temp jobs, you know, trying to not drown in the bills. Whoever came up with the money system and tossed the barter system out the window really sucks!! I think I would have liked to live back in the day when you could make your living as a traveling minstrel. I think I would have dug this. Told stories to get fed and shelter. Yeah, I think that works for me.

Which brings me to the thing I've been doing most while online lately, and that's writing, and beta-reading for other people. My mom caught a look at some of the reviews I had for my fanfiction and planted the bug that I should turn my screenplay from college into a novel and try to get it published. Now, I'm not really sure I could ever be published, but the idea of is has had my creative muses flowing, and I've been writing, both fan fiction and original work, and it's leaving little time for anything else.

I went to the Red River Ex last week, and would like to thank Jay and Rachel for dragging me on to every crazy ride they could manage. I loved it, and was kind of disappointed that we all pooped out kind of early and we didn't get to ride all of the rides. Oh well, I guess that's for next year.

I also saw Spiderman 2 a couple of times in the last week. What an Amazing movie!! The visual effects were superb and the storytelling of the film was magnificent. Much better than the original. I'd have to say it was my favorite of the summer, except for the fact that I'm biased because. . .

I have now seen Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban four times, and I keep finding people to take to see it again. I just can't get enough of this movie. It had it's problems, mostly stuff that was in the book and left out of the film, but the film taken on it's own is now one of my favorites of all time. Plus, I need to buy a permanent seat in that special hell that the girls at Caritas are all talking about.

I dragged Matt to the first showing, as he and I were having an ongoing discussion about his disbelief that I could admire any movie franchise more than the Lord of the Rings. But I can. And it's Harry Potter. There is just something about the magical world of J.K. Rowling that appeals to my always childlike soul. I can't help it.

Well, I'm sure that you've heard me babble enough for now. I'm sorry I was gone for so long, but I was in just such a funk and I didn't want to take it out on all of you. But I missed my online family so so much. I hope that you'll forgive me.
