And here's what I have to say about that!

  Well doesn't time fly?

  Since I was so distraught in my last post, I figure I should at least update this thing and mention that I'm feeling a lot better (knock on wood). I still have my down moments, but it's nothing like the depression I went through during December and January. Started dating again (or really, for the first time--my previous relationships started out through friendship and gradually evolved from there), trying to meet new people. So that's good. But I'm not very good at dating. Sadly, at 25, it's still a bit of a new experience for me.

  It doesn't help that I feel conflicted about the town I'm living in. The rent is cheap, it's a house instead of a small apartment, I live close to a couple of my best friends, but there's nothing to do here. All the interesting stuff (and more importantly, gay women! ) is in Seattle, and driving there can be a pain at times, not to mention the parking. I dunno if my desire to go out more and discover new people and places is enough to make me move. I'll guess we'll see.

  Wow, it's been a while. I'm visiting GS again. That can only mean...

  ...that I don't have a girlfriend anymore.

  Ah, I suppose I should back up a bit. I wonder if anyone is even going to read my blog, considering I've been pretty much gone for a year and a half. Well, to anyone who knew me before, you're probably surprised to even hear that I had one, since I was married...to a guy...last time I was really active on GS. In fact, I have the feeling that some of you may not even know I'm female, heh (well, I guess I do have a couple photos posted here). Anyway, I won't even try to summarize the relationship craziness that's been going on. Suffice it to say, after figuring out that I wasn't attracted to my husband (yeah, a BIT LATE, I know, but I was confused, made the best decisions I could at the time (kids, think before you get married (I know you all will )), I got divorced and fell hard for a beautiful, fantastic woman (and damn, I still love her so much), but she recently split up with me. She's already found someone else to date, which blows my mind that she'd move on so quickly. I'm depressed as hell, and I don't even know why I'm confessing this on GS, of all places.

  I'm hurting too much to even THINK about dating again, but it's depressing to think about trying to find another geeky woman who has common interests with me. Somehow, it seems appropriate that I would come back here now, and join the ranks of the sad girlfriendless fellas who spend their time perusing GS (sorry for the generalization--I know many of you are in wonderful relationships--or maybe I'm being too optimistic, I don't know).

  Speaking of which, I feel kinda out of place here, too. I don't have any of the current-gen consoles, so that leaves this pathetic bachelor feeling a tad outdated I like to keep up with gaming news, but it's a little silly when I'm unable to play any of the new stuff. Just bought a car a month ago, and that used up what little (read: nonexistent) disposable income I had. Hopefully I'll be able to save up for a new console sometime in the near future. Healing through gaming? Whatever. I need to get away from the computer.

  So...How is everyone??

  Zero Punctuation

  I think this guy's video game reviews are hilarious and worth a plug here. If you're even mildly aware of what's going on in the gaming world, I think you'll find them funny. Here's the archive of his videos, updated each Wednesday:
