Okay, so my last legitimate journal update was back in '06. I'm not proud... just a combination of tired, lazy, busy and befuddled.
So, let's divide this into three sections: Gaia, Business and Personal
Gaia:
I've had lots of ideas to spice up business at the bar for quite a while. I just have a problem implementing them. Either I get distracted by something shiny, or I can't find enough cooperative volunteers to help me test something or show something off.
At any rate, I'll futilely list some of the projects I'm working on here. If anyone out there is interested, like always, PM me.
The Price is Right Mystic Nights Style
Mystic Nights Battle/Breedable Pets
Classic2
Kestles revised (jokingly called Fantasy Kestles)
Bounty!
The Mystic Nights Murder Mystery
Most of these are ready to go... I've worked out the bugs, sorta, and just need testers. Unfortunately, it seems that Mystic Nights is not the place to test out new innovations... just hang out and relax. Le sigh. Not that I'm complaining, but I remember when I made Mystics, people clammored to fight and try new games. I guess it's just been so long that the current generation of Mystic Nighters isn't into that stuff anymore. What to do to hold their attention and keep them coming to my quaint little bar? Got me... I'm tapped.
Business:
I'm currently registered for some classes at NAU this Fall. I'm keeping the load light so that I don't kill myself, scholastically speaking, and so that I can obtain and maintain a steady job. Some of you might know that I've been jobless since... sheesh.. January. Well... I've got some good prospects, finally, such as an interview tomorrow with Torrid, the +size branch of Hot Topic. Once I get a job, my next concern (depending on my timing) is getting my mom to the hospital... a day before my birthday. I'll consider it a birthday gift from Heavenly Father if the surgery allows my mother to walk again without so much crippling pain. Along with that... I have to get my aging, arthritic puppy to the vet to get cleaned and have her joints taken care of. My dog, Lucky, lives with my mom about 200 miles away as my apartment in Flagstaff doesn't allow dogs. Instead, the animal company I keep here is a lizard named Nogard... Hmmm... I think most of this belongs in Personal... whatever.
Anywho, school, work and travel will occupy a good deal of my life soon, as well as my attempts to open my own Anime/Video Game/Comic shop here in Flagstaff, Otaku Comics. Really, the business plan is the current distraction. So many numbers I have to almost make up, so many details I have to fill in and nowhere in that great big internet is a sample business plan for a business similar to my own.
PS. My website is updated... ninja
Personal:
I've been going back to Church lately. It's felt REALLY good. My mind's been cloudly since I got back from New York and this has really helped. I can feel the obstacles at every turn, and though they may be only minor inconveinances, added up, I've had a lot standing between me and my Faith. I'm feeling the Spirit more and more... but I still feel like I'm mostly deaf. At this point in the game, however, even a faint sound of His voice is better than anything I've already got.
Along with this, I've come to the realization that I don't really know who I am. Sure, there are lots of people who know me and can describe very distinct personalities qualities... but none of these people describe the same ones. Through the help of prayer and talking to friends and family, I've had an epiphany. I'm a people pleaser. My attitude, personality and characteristics are... well... almost variables that only take form in the company of others. Depending on the people I'm around, I'm a completely different person. My behavior changes, my language changes (dramatically) and people who have known me for a long time can see it. I had a heart to heart with some of my friends and they let me know that I'm a different person based on who I'm around. I don't know if that means I have a weak personality or what, but I'm not particulary enjoying it.
For the time being I'm trying to work on discovering myself. At the moment, that consists of prayers and going out with groups of friends (sometimes barely aquaintances) to do things and see what sparks my interests. In the future, I believe (when I have the money) this means I will be traveling. Where to? I don't know... but I know I have the itch to move and see things right now.
When I figure out who I am and what I'm made up of, I'll probably settle down, but at the moment I feel I'm no where near that mark. What will I find when I find myself? I don't know... but I'm sure eager to meet me.

I'm back after being gone for a long, long time.
Everyone I know is gone... do you need a friend?
