This is why I can't have nice things . . .

Hey folks, just a post here to say a few things.

First off, I don't have much I want to add here anymore. Frankly, my life isn't all that interesting to behold to other people. What I do to fill my time isn't interesting to the people who still view/use LiveJournal so . . . I'm no longer updating here. Sorry if you're one of the people who are hoping I update this again but . . . not going to happen. After this, I don't intend to post anything more here except emergency information if anything happens of note. Like a hurricane meeting a tornado and becoming a super-storm to wipe out all of the United States and I need to leave my mobile phone number.

Secondly, little by little I'm going to start locking down old posts. So far I've received an average of two messages a day about posts cropping up on old entries and every time they're spammer comments trying to seed links into my comments. And because I'm tired of seeing nonsensical replies which taste like spam, I'm going to hit the lockdown. If it keeps getting worse, then I'll nuke the journal from orbit. Nothing I have here worth saving (in some semblance of "worth saving") is not written down somewhere else, and I *really* doubt people will miss it anyway.

Thirdly (or C if you're counting), if you are a friend of mine who does read this journal (why the hell are you still reading this journal anyway?) then you can contact me by other routes for information on how I'm doing. The purpose of following this journal is really defeated with how few people use this source ONLY for getting in touch.

Fourth (or that little 'iv' they use in footnotes), and also lastly . . . I will not be migrating to Twitter. I will not be migrating to other blog sites. I will somewhat update another blog relevant to specific interests, but that one will NOT be linked here. If you know about what I mean, then you know where to look for it. Going back to the top of the page, I really just don't have anything worth sharing, nor do I have witty 140-character-or-less banter to engage in with people. I see no reason to participate in any of these things anymore. And . . . again . . . anyone who would be interested in reading what I would use these avenues of communication for can reach me through other means.

I'd like to say I'm sorry to leave you all in the lurch but really . . . if you're reading this anyway, chances are you still can reach me for conversations about what's going on in my life anyway. So I'm not really leaving anyone in the lurch. Well, except the spammers but I don't think there are real people involved there who give a darn.

Writing Project: Johto Journeys (Part 1)

About three weeks ago, I received Pokemon Soul Silver in the mail from a friend, and I decided to stretch a bit and write a fictitious journal by the trainer who was traveling. Since I had a person playing alongside me, I included them in the narrative for the fun of it. And since they're enjoying reading it so much, I decided to share it.

Employed

I am now employed! I am working as a waiter at Olive Garden.

I also had to sign a nice slip of paper saying I read the manual, to which there was an addendum I hadn't noticed in other manuals about "blogging". Specifically saying not to do it about what goes on at work, or to use it for gossip about coworkers. I find this refreshing that someone feels the need to acknowledge blogging exists in an official capacity :P

On related news, I have an actual paying job again! If I didn't have to go in tomorrow morning I'd drink.
