I keep forgetting I have a DW

magnacartaI've been very busy. Learned a bunch of stuff. Made some very good work friends. Done some very fancy stuff.
(Got invited to a fancy restaurant that served molecular cuisine. The bubbles are NOT soap. Also, they don't serve normal coffee. I also volunteered at a scotch tasting reception. Met a bunch of very rich people, and came home with a bunch of orchids.)
It's been a challenge, doing a lot of things I wasn't prepared for. I love it here, but I don't want to stay in my current position. I have a bachelor degree, and I plan to use it someday. Yes, I've been offered to stay, but I'm not sure the positions I've heard about are for me at all. We'll see.
I've had the best time just doing something else. Not focusing so much on fandom. It made me put stuff in perspective. It made me appreciate the people I've met through fandom, but who I now consider real good friends. We talk about our lives. We focus on our other common interests: music, culture, etc. I still go through my flist, and read fics, and watch vids, but it doesn't feel like an integral part of myself anymore.
Nothing makes you realize how serious you were taking things like a bunch of seriously insane and delusional fans. I realized that I never wanted to be like them.
Lastly, I'll try to crosspost more. I just never remember to do so. I was surprised that I still remembered my DW password.
