50th Post (Thanks for Sticking By)
My 50th post... Who woulda thunk? Time to reflect, I guess. But I don't feel like it... Time to look forward. I've had enough of looking back.
For Lent, I'm trying to let go of the past, let go of bitterness, and TRY to forgive. It's not my best skill, but I'm going to work on it. Time to put the past where it belongs. And speaking of...
I won't say too much about this because I want to not jinx things and because I'm still on very unsure footing with romance and such, but I've met someone new and it's exciting. Feeling things I haven't felt in a good while, which scares the hell outta me, but, like I said, trying to leave the past in the past. That's all I'll say about that for now. Hopefully there will be more to say in the future. But I'm not counting any eggs until they're well-hatched. I've been burned more than enough times by now.
So I finally met Shinta! Yay! She came with my partner in crime and I to Chicano Perk last Wenesday. It was great to just sit and talk and for her to see me in action at the open mic. We need to do that again SOON, Shinta. It was too much fun. Of course, we missed y'all, Will and Maria, but one of these days, we WILL get into trouble together. :)
I can't believe it's 50 posts already. Granted, it would be a lot more if I hadn't been slacking so much. Just seems to take more effort these days to post. Hopefully, that'll change soon. I miss my bloggers!
What else, what else... Well, the poetry workshop and reading loom tomorrow morning. Of course, I'm still not prepared because I'm a PROCRASTINATOR, but I'll be ready for it. Hopefully. Still nervous as hell, but just a matter of doing it.And it'll look good on the writing resume. Pray for me, y'all; I'm gonna need it.
Overall, things have been good. I've managed to keep busy, work is OK, I'm getting out of the house more. Not much room for complaint--finally. Let's hope this upturn continues. Lord knows I need it.
Until the next time, keep at it, everyone--whatever IT happens to be. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you one day. Thanks for all the support.

Unfortunately I can't get into the States at the moment :^( My visa has expired and until I get my work permit sorted out I can't apply for another one.
However, things are in progress and hopefully soon, very soon I will be *legal* and then we will all be able to meet up!
