Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been so busy! Aaron and I are still together, so when I’m not with him I’m doing homework, so there’s no time for leisurely writing in my journal.

So Aaron and I have been together six months now! This is my longest relationship by far (which might be kind of pathetic, actually). Things have been going good so far. Don’t get me wrong, the relationship isn’t perfect, there are things I wish were different about him, but overall it’s good. I’m even in love with him! I never thought I’d meet anyone I’d date for six months, let alone fall in love with. We even have sex, which is another surprise for me because I was thinking I might be a virgin forever.

We are entering an uncertain period right now though. He just graduated, so we won’t see each other as much because he won’t be on campus anymore and I still will be. Plus there’s the whole aspect of him needing to find a job. When he gets one, we might not be able to see each other as much also because of his work schedule. Then there’s always the chance that he might not be able to find work in the state, and have to move. I pray that doesn’t happen because I don’t know what I’ll do. For the longest time I was worried that he would go into the Peace Corp and leave me, but he decided not to do that so I thought we were out of the woods on him leaving, but I never even thought about him not being able to find a job here. Though even if he gets a job in the state, it could still be a few hours away, meaning when he gets his own place chances are he would move closer to his job, thus putting him a few hours away from me. There’s just so much that could happen, but I guess we just have to take it one day at a time and enjoy the way things are right now.

Overall, I’m happy right now, which I haven’t been in a long time. I always feel like there’s some impending doom just over the horizon though, because I know happiness usually doesn’t last.

Right now Patches has four kittens! They’re cute little shits, that’s for sure. While I love them and would hate to see them go, I really don’t want four more cats. That would bring our cat total up to seven (eight including Patches)! While I love cats, that’s just too much. It takes me forever to do all the daily cat chores as it is. As soon as they’re weaned, we’re taking Patches is getting fixed. The kittens are so entertaining, but we just can’t take care of anymore, and the world doesn’t need anymore cats right now. We would like to find all of the kittens homes, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen. We tried to find homes for the last batch, but we ended up having to keep two. We could put an ad in the classifieds, but you never know what you’re going to get there. We could unknowingly give one to some a*****e who doesn’t treat their animals very good. It’s all kind of frustrating.

Anyways, that’s a very quick synapses of what’s been going on the last five to six months. Honestly, I hope I don’t get a chance to write in here for another six months, because that’ll most likely mean I’m too busy because I’m still with Aaron.
