so I know have been lacking on the update front. I have been just super busy, and I am really upset that I haven't been updating like I should. I have been neglecting many things, and that bothers me. But I have some time tonight, so I thought I would fire off a quick update.

So a few days ago, I get an IM from my Ex. Now, surprisingly, this is not uncommon. It is my understanding that as part of the mandatory counseling/debreifing that all my Ex's receive from the Government, part of the therapy is contacting me. But seriously, I have no problem talking to any of my Ex's. In fact, there are some I talk to on a regular basis, and quite enjoy it. There are the few who choose for some reason to not speak to me. I can understand that. Heck, I even have one Ex who denies we even went out, but I have witnesses, so I know I'm not making it up. So back to my story. So I was playing a game on my computer when I got some IM's. After I was done playing, I checked my IM's before I went to bed and I saw they were from someone I had dated over 5 years ago. She IMed me to ask if I was ever going to talk to her again, that she was sorry, and if I want her to, she'll leave me alone. Now I will say the break up there was a bit on the rocky side, and I was a little upset at the end. But the funny thing is, unlike other times when I can hold a grudge for a long time, I can never stay angry at someone I love. Yeah, it may take some time, like it did with Molly, but in the end, my love for them wins out. Of course, while I'm going out with them, any anger usually passes very quickly. I may brood for a day or two, but I think I do that so I can try to stay mad, and try to work it all out in my head. I know with Kari, if I saw her smile at me, any anger I had just melted away, and I'd forgive her for anything(and did). But where was I? Oh yeah, my Ex, Kristen. So she IMed me, but I wasn't able to check the message until later. So I did IM her back, but I never got a response. I mean look, I am not adverse to talking to any of my Ex's. I may set rules for how I want to be contacted, like only over the phone or in person, but I don't consider that too restrictive. I also don't try to block them out of my memory. I will admit each time I pass the street her house is on in Toms River, I look down to see if I can see her green car. Whenever I hear about Monmouth University, I think of her. And yes, I will admit that even though I saw her SN pop up on my buddy list, I never pulled the trigger and IMed her, mostly b/c I wasn't sure if it was still her. But when she IMed me, I was all for getting into a convo. Who knows, maybe it will still happen?

But anyway, what else is going on. Ahh, on Friday, I got bit by a horse. We had a new horse come in, and while attempting to open his stall to feed him, he reached out and latched onto my hand. He ripped off my glove and a good amount of skin. After I went inside to bandage the thing up, the bastard was standing in his stall over my glove with a look of, "Come on in and get it, I dare you". So I whacked him back with a stick and got my glove. The bite isn't deep, just long and wide, so it's healing pretty quickly. The only bad part is I have yet to develop super powers. At least some I can observe. Perhaps I can run 6 furlongs in over a minute with a small Indian Gentleman strapped to my back. I thought I could count, but I kept tapping out the wrong answers with my foot to math problems. Oh well.

Other than that, nothing much exciting has been going on. I finally finished my holiday card for this year. It has been mostly been a scheduling thing, as all my graphics programs are on my mac, and she is still acting up. So I needed to find time to get my PC setup to work under Win2k, as none of my cards had 2k drivers. So in the end, I got it done.

OK, I am tired and the night just gets shorter. I will leave you all now. You'll probably see me on the BedCam.
