Well, it's been a mixed bag. On the one hand, serendipitously landed a full time english teaching gig on the LD-side of the sped high school I work at, so, um, fuck yeah. On the other hand, my ex-girlfriend-who-was-never-really-my-girlfriend and I "broke up", and the whole thing crashed like a house of fucking cards, so, there's that.
Also, the kids on my side of the school were fucking awful today. Was involved with two brawls in a span of two hours. Ugh.

Well, you know. Been working a lot. Some of the old threads have come down with a strange rash and a doing a lot of moaning. Seems to be rubbing off on the rest of them as they are getting kinda moody. It's really taking a toll on everyone. Just the other day little mister corrupted wishes thread just wouldn't stop scratching. I put a bit of calamine lotion on the spotty parts but it didn't seem to help. And I don't know if it was all mental or an actual outbreak but the myspace karaoke and wells fargo sues itself threads started piping in that they were itchy. Then of course, lo and behold, it seems I had a dozen different threads all complaining. I had to shut them up some how so we all went out for more calamine lotion and ice cream. That at least tide them over for a little bit but I really am concerned that they've all got a little case of threadpox.
So we got back to the forums and found that Someone had left the bathroom sink on while we were out. Not really an issue, except there was an old steak (medium rare btw) shoved into the drain. Ya, so that's a huge mess. Overflow EVERYWHERE! And I can't find the mop. So I've got the threads in there with the entire closet of towels mopping up the floor when one of the old drunk and or high threads comes out screaming. APPARENTLY it was "being good" (I don't believe it either) and bent over cleaning when some thread snapped in with a wet towel. Now it's got a huge welt right in it's vowels. *le sigh*
It's been a day, I tell you. Anyhow, mostly it seems all are ok, and I'm keeping them in line. A few won't stop bothering me about flooding the front page and just being a nuisance for no reason but I can usually distract them with shiny things or youtube clips. By the end of the day I'm just stupid tired and can barely even look at the new threads, but they all come to my attention eventually. And I'm hanging in there.
But enough about me. How have you been? Did you ever get the results of that endoscopy? I'm still quite confident you didn't swallow a chigger. And even if you did, I find it unlikely that it bit you on the way down.
Anyhow, write back soon. We all miss you here.
XOXOXO

Things are just fine and not totally ruined or anything and you definitely don't need to check behind the potted ferns because there's nothing there and that'd be crazy, would you like to go out for ice cream? 
Would you believe me if I told you that I know EXACTLY what you mean?
Sure, although I wouldn't know in what context 0_o
On the way home from seeing MI:4 (pretty good) I kind of realized all the things I need to do soon and that seemed a little overwhelming but eh, that's life.
Right now one of my biggest concerns is that next week I only work 4 days, with 23 hours. While it'll be nice to kind of have a few days off, especially considering previously mentioned large list of things that need doing, the pay hit is going to suck. Of course there is a shift that apparently needs to be covered so if I feel like I need to I can pick it up. Downside is that it's at 5:30am-1:00pm or so, and I have to work until 8:30 the night before. meh.

Sometimes. Honestly though work tends to be the last thing I do in a day. I know myself well enough to know that I'll just come home and chill until going to bed. Might be better to use that day to get things done.
Work Life: I'm currently hitting all the checkpoint I need to be hitting so that I'm in the position I've been aiming for since I joined this Bank by the end of the year. That's when things will REALLY get interesting.
Personal Life: I'm becoming more and more the gamer hermit and social recluse I fought so hard not to be just a little over a year ago.... got to do something to break the cycle but just don't have the motivation.

My girlfriend is moving to another city and doesn't want me to go with her. This means I have to move back in with my parents. Not the best thing, but not completely horrible as I get along fairly well with them now days. Although I did have a quick look at rentals and If a friend or two want to move in with me I found the perfect place. So my new year is starting with a new relationship stats and possibly a new house. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet though...
I thought she just didn't want you to move over there right away?
No fade just doesn't like any of the other thread, so he ignores them.
That was what happened initially Ad. Then I sat her down and made her talk to me and answer some questions she had been avoiding. We have been having some problems lately and I asked if this was just her way of ending it without dealing with the issue face to face. turns out it was. (she has major issues when dealing with personal things. She doesn't like talking about our relationship or what she is feeling or pretty much anything. She thinks it is weird that I always want to share my emotions and crap with her because I'm a guy. Go figure)
I guess on the bright side we are ending this peacefully, no arguments or yelling. I've seen break ups that just go horribly. The biggest problem we have had so far is deciding how we are going to split the wii games we bought together. (she can have wii fit and raving rabbids, I want boom blox dammit! )

Eh, could be better I suppose.
I got diagnosed with Aplastic anemia back in august, and I've been waiting to have a marrow transplant since then. Lucky for me, my sister was a donor match, so its just a case of waiting for the hospital to sort out all the details and set up a time when I can go in. In the meantime, I just have to go in every month or so for another blood transfusion "top up". The really annoying thing is that I don't feel that different, just increasingly tired as I get nearer a transfusion time. I know i don't post as much as I used to here, I tend to lurk. Guess I should change that

I've told you a million, gazillion times not to exaggerate!
Sorry to hear that man. I had hoped it would have turned out to be she was just anxious about moving to a new place, not she was emotionally stunted and cowardly.
Congratulations Andi! Welcome to the club!
I made up what both of these are and I have to say that I am shocked. SHOCKED.
I mean what did Buffy fans ever do to you?
Get out of my sight.

Plus: Wedding planning is so much fun when you have an organized mother! 
Minus: It's been time consuming planning and going places to get ready. Social life and free time are pretty much dead til summer.
Plus: They love me at my job. Word is getting around that I'm pretty damn competent, and I just applied to grad school to study Gifted Ed.
Minus: The worst part of working at a private school besides the salary is that the kids here are spoiled and they think they can talk to you like they're also an adult... and not in a respectful, matter-of-fact way but in a snotty, entitled way. That's not every kid, but it's sometimes enough to make me want to throw hot soup in their parents' faces. Also, due to some recent issues, it turns out my work load during/after school is pretty much doubling soon. Nothing I can do about it.
Plus: Friends from London are coming for a visit during the Mardi Gras holidays!
Minus: I'm so busy and frazzled that I'm afraid I won't let myself enjoy it.
Despite the stress I'm feeling, I think I come out in the black. How are you?
