Short Stories and Sketches

I vowed to you that day no one would ever bring you harm, girl -- Leona, LOFN

I was looking back over some of my past entries on this blog from this month (amazingly there are a lot more in the first half of the month than in most recent months whole), and I noticed how I mentioned it was the end of a chapter; I wondered if I would have it easier from then on, or harder, and secretly knew the answer. Strange, how we do that, but the question is, did I cause it to happen, or was it a true and honest premonition?

I decided I was going to move out today. When I woke up, I felt a lot better about things, and I even managed to have a good outlook on life. The lesions are healing somewhat, (well, one causes me concern, but we'll just have to watch it) and I have a future. My-one-roommate still wants me to stay "30-days", but I have no contractual obligation, and in fact don't feel like have I have to even find a new roomie to take over my position, so... yeah. That's basically that. Money's going to be tough, but I spoke to a girl today who works down by the JC in SoCal, and she thinks it is totally worth driving down there every day to work as a server when I'd be making about 17.50/hr... I think I agree, and I miss the food terribly bad.

How's life for you guys? Seriously, I want to know: how is it? I'd say mine is ... looking up, but I think I'm learning a lot of lessons, and I would rather have made sure I learn before committing to a possibility.

The title is because I've been doing a lot of sketches lately, and a short story occurred when I met the aforementioned girl, so ... yeah. and I've been reading this one comic called La Esperança (I think you should ignore any bad reviews and give it a shot. People who don't know what it's dealing with exactly on all levels will have a hard time accepting that it's worthwhile). I like it a lot; yes, I gave in and began reading shonen ai. My bad... haha! I can't help it. It's ... gripping. It's... focusing around a situation I've wondered a lot about my whole life, so I want to know the writer's take on it... we'll see how it goes.
