Back to the Future

I've had some interesting experiences since my last long ago posting. I feel that I have to grow up so fast in a short amount of time. Or at least start acting my age. I probably used to think my wedding registry would be a lot more interesting if it was at Toys R Us instead of Linens N Things. My wedding is coming up soon (August 25th) and I really haven't thought about it nearly as much as I should, well other than the whole planning part. Plans are coming together and after this weekend, just a few minor things will be left. At that time I can start partying and running around Springfield with underwears on my head, I mean get used to the idea of getting married (almost as crazy).

Last night I finally put together what this busy summer has been teaching me. I have learned with my first summer considering myself in the real world that not all things come together as well as you want them to. I will admit that job hunting is much more frustrating than I ever imagined. I feel that I'm every bit as qualified for positions that never give me a call back or a second interview if I happen to get that far. I guess for once in my life, the future is not completely certain, and there may be some more rockier patches that I can't control even through careful planning. I think this is an area of why Faith is important...

Just last week I was worried about finding a place for Cat and I to live. It turned out to be much more difficult to find the apartment that suited our needs than I could imagine. The first place I had hoped to get wasn't available and many other nice places would either be out of our price range or wouldn't allow pets. But before things got really crazy for us after spending almost a week straight scowering through every possible rentable space in Springfield, the first place we wanted actually had a tenant move out unexpectedly and we got their place. I should be able to start moving in a week or less time.

With the apartment move taken care of, now all I need to do is get employed somewhere, so if you're an employer looking for an ace computer guy who knows computer, hire me and all my abilities belong to you. I will setup your competition the bomb (through increased skill and productivity).

The word marriage still sounds like something that happens to other people and not myself. However, I'm looking forward to it quite a lot, even if I don't fully comprehend its full meaning. If of course the marriage isn't as great as it will be, I take comfort in my escape plan.
I've been practicing, I haven't quite got the pose right, but just a few more days...
