It's been a few days since my last post, and I'm glad to say I'm feeling better than I was. What I said last time is still true to a point, but I think the reason I was so caught up in it was a lot of accumulated stress from the work week. I've been going to bed early the last couple days and taking it easy otherwise, and it's done wonders to make me feel more relaxed.

The parts for my computer finally came in today. After setting everything up and booting it up everything was cool til my tower started putting out smoke like a small chimney, lol. I turned it off right away and checked out what the problem might be. Turns out I screwed up the wiring a bit and reversed the DC charge input for a cord, which ended up frying it to an aromatic crisp. Luckily I caught the problem fast enough nothing of actual use was damaged, the cord itself is something I didn't even really need, so all's well and working.

On a separate note, Valentine's Day was yesterday, one of the only holidays I tend to dislike, having pretty much always been single whenever it came around. Despite my disliking of the holiday itself, it passed by mostly unnoticed this year. Maybe next year I'll finally have someone to spend the day with, only time will tell for sure.

I think I'm going to have a bunch of free time tonight at work, so I might get around to updating the story I started back for NaNo and never got more than a few pages of finished. I've had a growing interest in getting back into writing, and I think I should take that for what it's worth while I still have the motivation to do so.

Moved into my parents house on Thursday, still have a ton of stuff in boxes, which I need to sort through once I have a free day. I figure I have this coming Monday off, so I'll probably spend it job hunting for a second job and the latter part of the day I'll use to unpack and decide if I really want to get rid of some things like dishes and kitchen stuff, since it's probably just going to sit around for a couple years if I keep it.

Elliot (My cat) is doing pretty well at getting along with my mom's dogs, rather it's those two that haven't quite gotten used to a cat being around. I'm glad to see nothing is as crazy as I'd prepared myself to be with how hyperactive those dogs can be at times. I got a wireless internet adapter, so I can get on the internet. I had planned to get a new video card for my computer too, but I don't have enough for the one I wanted right now, so I figure I'll just save my money and get it next pay check or something.

I've been watching Nisemonogatari and some something-Natsu-something show on top of space pirates, both are pretty good, which is a pleasant surprise.

I'm trying to get in touch with a girl that was working at the hospital until a few days ago. I'd been interested in her for a while, and was planning on asking her out, but the other day she came to get something and told me it was her last day. It took me by surprise at first, which prevented me from asking her out on the spot, and when I went up later to try and see if I could find her I wasn't able to. I found her on FB, and sent her a friend request so that I can send her a message (she has her security set up so you can't message her without being on her friend's list, it seems). So hopefully she'll accept sometime soon so I can take the plunge and ask her on a date. Worst case scenario is I stay single, and don't talk to her again, which would have been the case if I hadn't tried at all.

Back to work for now, got a few things to finish before I can go home at midnight.

Here it is, the first journal I've started away from LJ in years. I doubt this will be anything different from what I've been posting up until now, and I'm sure there will be times when I don't post much for a while (as my life sometimes has those periods where nothing of interest seems to happen for a while).

As for actual post stuff, I'll be fully moved over to my parents by the end of Thursday; that's the plan, anyways. I've moved most everything except for my larger furniture and my computer stuff (so I have something to do since everything else of mine is already at my parents).

Star Wars: The Old Republic is still keeping my interest pretty well so far. I started playing with more of my friends which is making it more enjoyable to be on, too. Though playing a high end game like that has rekindled my desire to upgrade my computer (since I hate not being able to play on any setting other than High, lol) so I'm planning to spread out a few new purchases over the coming weeks as my available funds will allow. First thing on the list is a new video card.

I guess that's all for now. Peace out, yo.
