10 months sober.
Been skateboarding lately. Just crusing with the fellas. I cruise while holding my purse. Zack says I'm getting better than John Michael.
Read a ton of books lately. I can't seem to stop, and really don't want to.
Going on the Texas roadtrip next week. Do some uncharted exploring of America.
Alaska in May.
Things are pretty good. Despite the unemployment. Eh, fuck it.
Things will happen. And the weather is perfect.

Let us think of ourselves as made of dust, and allow us to be as proud of it as if it were true.
For dust is everywhere.
We see it in solemn rooms streaked by sun, dancing like fine angels in a cathedral light. It is the stuff of life. And it drifts down on fancy tables where the richest people eat.
It cannot be denied a place. And it returns time and time again like the seasons. It is one of the wonders of the world. And when no one sees or cares, it finds a secret corner in which to keep a solitary peace. It intends no harm. We find it at home on old leather books, the ones that preserve our noblest thoughts.
And from where we stand, it seems that even the stars are made of it.
When we feel low, unworthy, or useless, let's remember that these feelings are only a small but important part of us, that even great things are made of small parts and that we, as whole beings, are always greater than the sum of these parts.

When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried.
Terrified, the drunk ran and got the town magistrate to come and listen to it.
When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling."
So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."

I haven't updated in over a year, so I just thought I'd put something up.
Incase you're wondering where I'm at.
I'm living in Fenton with Zack and Chuck (my dog).
We've been dating for a little over 2 years. Zack and I.. not Chuck.
I have 101 days sober today, and about a week since I've had a cigarette.
I have an amazing job at Rockwell Assisted Living, where I am a Resident Care Assistant.
I get to wear scrubs to work and feel important.
Things are going really well for once.
Stable.
Stability is nice.
That's all I've got...

Today is my birthday.
And I am drunk.
For a reason.
And you're drunk, because you wish it was your birthday.
I'm going bowling.
Because it is my birthday.
Hopefully I get something free, right?
