So I haven’t been around much.  Honestly, I haven’t been around my own life much lately.  I… well, I’ve been dating someone for a while now, and the squee period appears to holding pretty steady despite the length of time we’ve been seeing each other.  After all this time, it’s a little odd for me to refer to someone as “my girlfriend,” but I think that’s just a matter of my own personal calendar taking a little while to reset itself.  We’re both pretty smitten with each other.  And I’m learning that a good relationship doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to have metric assloads of things in common (although we do, despite a few personal interests that don’t match up)… it’s little things, like me surprising her with flowers she likes just because, or her leaving coffee for me on the nightstand this morning so it would be there when I woke up while she was in the living room. 

On the flipside, after two years in a great location, my office is finally moving this week.  We’re heading to an area of L.A. that is definitely not as nice as the one we’re in now, plus this move more than doubles my commute (I’m looking at 45 minutes to an hour each way now), which I’m really not happy about.  We’re all going to be crammed into tight quarters and most of us will be in cubicles, which will be unpleasant especially considering I like to play music and my writing partner and I are also a bit loud.

So it’s a matter of riding the rollercoaster.  This week will be up when I’m with The Girlfriend and down as I’m packing for the move.  But I suppose the universe needs to even itself out somehow.
