3 Reasons Why I Haven't Posted Lately

1. I moved.

My lease ended on the 15th, and while I hoped to renew it, it had already been marked as the model apartment for the building. Instead of living in the model and living with the possibility with ugly people coming into my apartment and rumaging through my stuff and the building manager leaving nasty notes under my door for all of the lease/code violations that naturally come with living, I decided to downgrade to a smaller apartment on the 3rd floor. I've spent the last few days moving boxes, slowly, down to the new place. While I no longer have a view of the capital, and my new shower has the water pressure of...something that would work into this comparison, it is $80 cheaper per month.

2. I'm dating.

I'm still seeing the new guy, who I've decided to give the pseudonym Initials, since he goes by the initials to his first and middle names. I know, I know; I'm super-clever. It's been almost two weeks, and I think I've decided that he's going to be around for a while, or at least long enough to justify a nickname instead of just referring to him as "him" or "that guy." We're still in the 'getting to know you' phase, and despite the shortcoming he may have (namely, Dungeons and Dragons), I think I can get over them.

3. I was sick.

Besides, Initials gave me the clap, and if I can get over that, hell, I can get over anything.
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
