Who the hell is this goddamned stranger?
Yes, yes I know. I haven't updated in over two months AND I haven't talked to most of you through that duration as well. Sorry about that. Moving all the way down south to Georgia sure as hell took a lot from my ability to keep in contact for a while. I don't think I'll be able to give a detailed update of the past several months, but I can at least list the highlights.
So the move wasn't all that bad. I live in the unfinished basement, which kind of sucks because I have no walls or carpeting, but at least I have my own little area. I also have no air conditioning like the rest of the house, but I do have a fan and it suits me. It's actually not as hot as you would think, but I could also just be used to it by now. It took two months for my parents to get a phone line and Internet since it costed soooo much for deposits to turn on all the utilities.
The area is quite nice, but the area I'm in has only recently come to being. Most of the areas and towns around here have been built and developed only within the past 5-10 years, and most of all the housing is in brand new subdivisions. I have seen almost no housing development neighborhoods. And Dacula (where I live) has no bars or clubs. It's all shopping plazas and malls. In fact, most of the surrounding areas have ONLY brand new and huge shopping complexes, malls, and subdivisions. I still have yet to make a trip to Atlanta to see what's happening down there, but I will...eventually.
I do have a good job that pays well. I work as a customer service person for a furniture store, gotta love dealing with people's problems. At least I get payed enough and my boss is really cool. She's a few months younger than me, but really nice and layed back. She's married and apparently we have at least our music tastes in common.
I also bought myself a new rat. Jack and I were getting a little lonely in the basement together. He's a little baby two-toned black and white rat like Jack, his name is Daniel (Jack and Daniel, hehe). When I got him he had just gotten into the store and he had no human contact before, so it's taking me a little while to get him used to me. Right now I'm just bribing him with treats. He's very cute and small and Jack seems to like him, but then again Jack is sooo well-tempered to begin with. Hopefully some of that will rub off on Daniel.
Today I bought the wireless router and notebook adapter, which used almost all of last week's paycheck, but it was well worth it because I can finally use my own computer. I hate my family's computer. They broke their hard drive anyways and they had to get it repaired (they were going to buy a brand new one before I convinced them that it was totally unnecessary since it was probably only the hard drive or motherboard that was broken which can be repaired) and now they don't have Windows XP Professional, and I did not realize how much Home Edition sucked. My computer is much better anyways, it will be even better once I get some more hard drive space and maybe a new video card. I can make this shitty Dell into a semi-pro.
So I think that's about all I can remember. Oh and happy birthday to everyone I didn't get a chance to wish happy birthday to. I hope no one is pissed off I haven't talked to them in about two months, heh. Love you all! Kisses and hugs.
