I got a girl; she loves her dog.

First, a little explanation... I deleted my last blog because it was full of nothing but negative thoughts. I was severely down on myself at the time, but I'm over it now. It's not that I want to forget why I was so distressed at all; I just want to rid myself of the negativity that the last entry brought about.

This entry is going to be decidedly happier and lighter in tone. I've got lots to smile about these days!!

I don't have to look anymore. I found myself a girlfriend, and she's the one responsible for bringing me out of the slump I was in. I don't think I told her about it at all... maybe I might. Maybe she'll read this and realize how great things are lately because of her.

Annie is pretty much everything I've wanted in a lady. Am I making any sort of long-term assumption here? Nope. This is a day-by-day, one step at a time thing. But she's oh so good, man. My girl makes me happy, and that's really all I need.

With that said, I've gotta touch on the subject of school. I'm not going back to MUN this semester. I will return to school very soon, but I found myself overwhelmed with a lot of things during my initial venture into the world of post-secondary education. My aunt and grandmother passed away within a week of each other, my niece was born... and I fell into and out of love with a really lovely young woman.

Erin and I are obviously no longer together, but we're still friends. She's a good person, and her new guy is lucky to have her. I've told her all about Annie, and whenever we chat we're usually gushing about our SO's. I would go so far as to say she's the best ex I've ever had. I usually turn bitter and dick-ish when things break off, but with Erin it was different. We learned a lot from each other in the time we were together, but I don't think it was meant to last. Everything happened as it was supposed to...

...and now I'm with Annie. It feels like things are where they're supposed to be.

Back to the school thing. I got very overwhelmed with things, and just didn't put effort into anything. I majorly dicked myself over. Do I regret anything? To a point, yeah, I regret not putting more effort into things, but I still learned a few lessons. I'm going back to school. I want to be able to support a possible future family...
If not a family, then I at least want to be able to provide for my girl. Can't really do that without a good proper education.

Things are good these days, though. They really honestly are good. What a turnaround from the last time I updated, man. I really do feel on top of the world.
