| Goodbye Xanga?I'm thinking of quitting Xanga. I haven't had much motivation to post, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I guess I can give an update as my last, final Xanga hooray. I won't delete my account, in case my inclinations every decide to change.
I won't give up blogging at all, I just need a change. I want to have a blog that is much more me. I'm thinking of doing a blog about cooking, expanding my culinary experience, etc.
I'm also thinking about a short story blog where I write random short stories as they occur to me. I have one going right now, that I started tonight based completely on my friends in Dallas. I even use real names (cough spring, chad and sarah cough).
I have to see where it's going before I ever show it to anyone. But I thought it would be fun to write something that is fictional but based on completely real, alive people. It's a challenge to re-spark my imagination so I can actually finish my sequel to Run. Which I've been having a lot of problems with lately.
When I do a new blog, I will personally email my blog's address to those of you that I want to have it. Or those who contact me and ask for it.
Until next time, I bid you goodbye fair Xanga!

| 3.7 Years of XangaI'm quickly coming up on my 4 year anniversary of posting my thoughts, rants and veiled comments. That's a huge deal for me. 3.7 years is longer than I've lived in most cities. In fact, 3.7 years is the longest voluntary commitment I've had aside from Baylor and a few friends.
I've thought about getting premium for a month so I can download my archive and hole it away somewhere. There is way too much information about me in this 4 year-long epic tale.
A lot is going on right now. Maybe I'll have some news soon. Oh man, Prince just ripped one...
I've been cooking a lot... The below is a homemade pesto w/pasta and grilled shrimp.
 I also hurt myself pretty bad this weekend. I kind of like it. It's a badge of honor! I'll tell you what happened later. Meaning I have to concoct a story better than the truth. Okay, okay, I fell down the stairs. No, literally. I slid down it and burnt the skin off my wrist.
 Okay, I'm done.

| Here I Go... Strap Yourselves In.I should be prepping for a training session I have to give tomorrow, but instead I've decided to recant or rant about my latest adventures to all you Xanga people. These thoughts are in no particular order.
Bloggy Blog
I've been considering the idea of switching to a different blogging atmosphere or changing it up entirely. I've toyed with the idea of doing a Cooking Blog focused on all the food I replicate, create or just enjoy, since I've been doing more of that lately than working on my books. Damnit! What do you think? The Prince Chef writing about his life and mincing garlic? I feel more and more people are moving away from Xanga.
Life in General
If I had to do a State of the Union right now, I'd tell you I'm pretty damn happy. My job is stressful at times, but knowing that I don't need it is very freeing. It makes it all okay in the end. I haven't been home as much lately, so Princey has been acting out and peeing on me. Literally. He likes it when I'm here in the afternoons to see to his demands. But other than that, I've been very happy. I've been dating, I still like my apartment, and Sam and I more or less get along. I know the Secret is more than just a silly theory people talked about for a while. When you are happy, you truly attract more of it in your life. When you are thankful for what's there, more comes your way. I'm very blessed right now, so thank you God and universe.
Relationships
What a tricky topic? I don't know how much I can say without writing a tell-all scandal. It's been entertaining lately, I'll admit that much. I think the one person I want to go out with the most has been the most difficult. But you know what? That's about to turn around. Why? Because I will it to be so. Mwahahaha. Though there have been other distractions. Nice, fun, yay distractions. Some of which might be welcome to be distractions in the future. I like options for now.
Haircut
I got a haircut today, and I felt so much better. I shed all that extra weight out of my head and mind. I also resolved some tiny issues yesterday and today that were hanging out there. I'm tidying everything up. I also finallllllllllly found a maid/house cleaner to come weekly to my apartment. I know my writing will pour out of me like grease off a fast food worker once everything is tidy. Then you know what I'm going to do? Lose 20 pounds. Yes, life is going to be even more grand. And all because of my haircut!
Travel
I have some travel coming up. I'm going to Georgia to a wedding. Mammy and I are going just the two of us. Imagine the mayhem that will ensue! It shall be glorious. We are flying into Atlanta (the wedding is in Athens). We talked about going to see my sister and niece while down there. But apparently the She-Dragon known as Kristy is too busy to make an appearance. I'm going to talk her into it. I know Mammy really wants to see Madison. Fear not. It will work.
Writing
I'm incredibly behind. I am doing well in the competition though. Round 2 is due by Sunday at noon, so I have extra time. Shit. I'll have to start on it tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Okay, I've exhausted myself. Night bitches.

| In case you were wondering... I ran away.
I kid! I kid! I've just been busy with work, play and lying around on the couch. I'll post tonight. Seriously. I will.
