Job and self, and other stuff.
Thinking about touching on a lot of topics in this post really, as I've had a lot on my mind lately. It'll probably be pretty jarbled as such but I'll get over it somehow.

First off, a pressing topic, my job. I've been an indefinite temp for a while now. I really, really love my job. I enjoy going there every day even when the shit hits the fan, and it often does. As far as I can tell my boss loves me and would love to keep me, as other people in the department seem to as well. That being said since it's with the state there's a lot of red tape involved in creating a position and the NC state budget situation is currently pretty damn dismal. We're not just talking cuts here, there isn't even a budget yet and the financial year's already started! This makes me worry a lot, just as much as the prior stuff makes me feel like things'll work out well. Leaving me in a rather indifferent state. I'm still on the lookout for other prospects, but I'm also hoping to stay where I am right now.

In a drastically different topic, body modifications. As people may recall in the mists of time I had my tongue pierced. I enjoyed that but I got tired of it and worried a bit about irritation on the gums so out it went. Many years later I made a plunge I'd mulled over for ages and got pierced downstairs. I also got the nipples done some time later. The PA eventually came out, it never quite settled right. I want to get it redone in the future for sure though. My nipples are doing pretty well these days, I recently switched from bars to circular barbels and I can really see the right nipple is perfect, though the left could be better. I already knew it was a little deeper but now with rings I can see that it's a little off crooked too. Very disappointing. I may get it redone sometime but I don't wanna worry too much as of now. It still looks good, but could be better for sure. I also even more recently got my ears pierced. 10 gauge rings for now, and not planning to stretch past that. I wanted some heft and thickness but not gaping holes. Plugs can look hot but I don't think they're for me. Once those are healed I'm thinking about finally getting my double helix armband for a tattoo. I think it'll look great.

On the topic of food. I got out of the habit of bringing my lunch to work, and big surprise I also got out of the habit of losing weight. I've gone back to bringing my lunch with me. I've gotten a bit better at preparing tofu it seems if Dan's to be trusted. I've also branched out a bit more on what I bring. I prepared some onion dip tomorrow easily by tossing soft tofu and onion soup mix into a blender. Looking forward to that! I'm not really a health nut and certainly not a vegetarian. (Though I am a little hypocritical as I don't think I could kill for food if I had to do it myself.) I just happen to gravitate towards healthier food options purely out of taste and because I'm not fond of handling raw meat myself at all. As long as the food's good, I'm happy.

And on yet another drastically different topic, our DnD group met yesterday and I had a blast. My players seemed to have a good time as well. It's great to see a story taking shape and I always enjoy it when they try things I never expected. Even more so when it works. Whether it's singing your way inside an orc fortress or taking up mountaineering instead of planned dungeon crawling. I'm really pleased with all of my players. I'm also gonna start running that Innocents game online soon I hope. A good chunk of my DnD group will be in it and at least one friend on here. Should be exciting and different. I enjoy the combat in DnD 4e a LOT but there's also a LOT of it. I'm looking for something that's more RP heavy!

Things have also been great with Dan. He's adorable and sweet. He seems to care about and respect me. There are some things that have me concerned every now and then but over all I'm extremely happy with the relationship and looking forward to where it's taking us.

And best of all, I'm feeling great about myself. Some of this may seem extremely trivial, piercings and games and whatnot. But I'm enjoying my life a great deal right now and feeling great more often than not. My outlook on life's been colored a rosey tint and it's quite pleasant. I love my life, my friends, my boyfriend, and myself. That has me feeling happy. What's more, I feel like more and more I'm becoming who I want to be. I like that
