New Story + Obligatory Life Update
7 years ago
Hey, there, folks! Settle in while I entertain you with some updates (hey, you in the back--keep quiet!).
Writing Update
So, if you haven't noticed, I did it. I wrote Pokemon porn. First fan-fiction piece ever. Some human X Arcanine action in there! Although, in my defense, it was a request from the boy. If you haven't checked it out yet, go here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/29253937/
And if you have checked it out and like it...well, there may be a sequel. There are some ideas I'd like to work with. Sit tight!
Also...I'm currently writing some really raunchy, kinky stuff that's pushing the limits of my comfort zone (thanks to the boy, of course). Um...sit tight for that one, I suppose. Yeah...
Interestingly, a very old story of mine made it to the Featured Stories list on the front page on SoFurry. The featured story is a short piece about a guy getting an unexpected "birthday present" on his 21st birthday. Read it here: https://www.sofurry.com/view/235425
Recent Life Update
Definitely a lot of growing pains these past couple months for me. My heart has ached, and yearned, and tucked itself behind the safe walls of its solitude. But through that, there have been moments of growth and deep introspection as I figure out my place in this world. To continue keeping things vague, I'm currently going through a period of excitement and worry and intense happiness...and some more worry and insecurities all rolled into one. Strange mix of feelings for sure.
I've been nursing a hand injury for the past few weeks. It's put a serious damper on my spirits. Ended up having to play a cover show (I did a Fugazi set with my band) with only one hand banging the drums. Don't know if I just sprained it pretty bad...hard to afford a doctor right now, even with insurance, so I'm just waiting it out. It's been slowly getting better, but my pinkie finger doesn't want to bend all the way, and the other fingers can't quite form a grip. A little worried...but the hand's been improving a little each day. Might be another couple months for a full recovery at this pace. But, whatever. Life does this shit to me on the constant. I've injured my back three times and have recovered after three to four months of intense pain where I walked like an old man and couldn't stand straight. I'm hoping I can recover from this too. But...having to constantly deal with some sort of pain everyday wears me thin in the emotion department. I'm just...tired of hurting.
With the whole job thing, while I'm glad to have employment after having recently graduated...I'm just not excited coming into work. The job doesn't utilize my biggest strengths, nor does it engage my interests. I feel like I'm back in survival mode, just hanging in there day by day. This was the exact position I was hoping to avoid by obtaining my degree. It doesn't help that the pay is super lousy too. I'm barely staying afloat. Not a fan of this feeling. I'm trying to keep things in perspective and realize that this could be a stepping stone position that will allow me to move up to a position that is more appropriate for my interests. But it's hard. The good thing, though, is that the people I supervise seem to tolerate my constantly-joking personality, my penchant for bursting into random Disney songs, and my constant pseudo-threats to write everyone up.
Another good thing: employment at my alma mater gives me six free credits of classes. I've been attending a Wellness Coaching class and an Introduction to Acting class--tuition-free! So, some benefits of the job there. Been learning some great empathetic listening skills in the coaching class--I used some of those skills recently and a fellow student just opened up his entire inner world to me--scary monsters and all--something he said never happens. Very interesting skill. And the acting class is brutal! The professor has a no-holds-barred approach to feedback when we do our scenes in class. Eep! But people said they really like my acting skills and scene work, and one said I'm one of the better actors in the class (although, granted, we're all noobs, so that's probably not saying too terribly much, hahaha...).
Weight Loss Update
So my weight loss journey has been progressing slowly but surely. It's been a difficult process. But since June, the time I changed my diet and exercise patterns, I've lost 33 pounds. There have been a few bumps in the road with periods of lost willpower. Cheesecake got involved somehow and fuck, did that mess things up for a whole week. However, I've been employing the use of intermittent fasting, sensible food choices with a lot more vegetables and fewer refined grain products, as well as regular walks and working out at the gym (although the hurt hand has halted my upper body routine) to help me get closer to my weight and body composition goals. My clothes are all loose and people have been telling me that I'm slimming down--such a confidence boost! I'm doing my best not to fall off track and to be consistent. Consistency is not my best quality. But I'm working on it.
Anyway. That is all for now!
