Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Yeah, I'm sure alot of people are asking this... So I'm going to tell you.

When last I was on (By that I mean not these past few days) I was just out of my second year of college.

And I thought.
I thought long and hard.
And I continued to think when I probably should have slept. Like 3:00am PST thoughts.

And I realized that I felt I was wasting my time at school. It didn't seem... right for me you could say. But what to do!? If I left school, I could never achieve my potential they said! If I left school I would be kicked out they said!

So I broke down and got a job. Yes people, a REAL JOB. Gasp.

It was nearing Christmas... retail places were hiring everywhere. And so I decided to work in the first place that hired me... a ToysRUs.

O....M....G... I know. I was there.

It was around that time that I had was losing interest in Gaia... it didn't seem to have that... ZEST. I had friends, we all talked, but it seemed so repetitive. Our friendship didn't seem like friendship... more like a routine. A boring, mind-wretching routine.

As the months went by, so to did the distance between me and my love for Gaia. And so did my writing grow as well. Some stories were action-filled... others were more 'tender' and 'lovey' heart wink

Then at the end of the year, as those who read Twonk's journal would know, I came to Gaia one last time... to write my farewell letter. It was addressed to Twonk but I included the rest of you all, and wanted to let you guys know how much you have affected me. Sending it off, I turned my back to Gaia, thinking never to return again...

A few months past, and I was laid off my job... but I wanted to work! I wanted to produce something and feel useful! So again my search went until I was at last accepted in an engineering company. I work there to this day, working on engineering projects for several companies, our most frequent clients being the company Kaiser Permanente.

Even as I worked, my thrist for writing was unquenched. I searched the internet, played a few internet games... you never know, you might have met me on one! Not that you would have known, but...

Then one day (A few days ago) my younger brother asked me about Gaia... and it brought back a flood of memories... I couldn't resist... I checked my old account... my VERY old account...

And it worked.

A longing passed over me.... an undenible urge to see them all again! All those people I called friends... and so I'm here now. So, I return to restrengthen those bonds of friendship I forged in the years I spent here. And more importantly to see my Misadventures... my first experience writing something and bringing plot to a story. I wanted to improve! I wanted to make it again and bring back the joyous laughter and chaos that everyone I knew had once always looked forward to! I remember the ' xd ' and the ' biggrin ' and even the few ' whee ' and ' eek ' I'd get from each new entry.... as more of the story unfolded and random door-breaking, cheese-eating, window-smashing goodness went on.

So I'm here! Here to stay? Maybe... maybe not. But know that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!
