the return: slightly less sad_, slightly more winslow

Hey

Thanks. I try.

I know it's.. difficult to think of time pried away from the magic computer box, isn't it? I try to stay on the thing and avoid The Big Blue Room so long as I can, but life keeps happening to me anyways.

crapflood follows

I am... sort of, yes, grappling is a term. It's not been easy. Working my way from near the east coast USA to the west coast, slogging in crap jobs that still give me nightmares half a decade later. Destroyed my back and was gifted with perpetual pain and then a bit of diabeetus to boot.

After four years in a community college rebuilding the high school education I never got after leaving home at 17, I just got accepted at a university of california. Whoah. Whoah. Wishing my dad were alive to see the acceptance letter, but he died from cancer a few years ago and I have to put on a stone face about it because I don't have time to break down between the times I have to do things for other people, the times I have to do things for myself, and those secret moments in between.

All in all though I am utterly amazed, scared, elated, and confused about everything. That's the story of sad_winslow, how he got sad, and how he's taking steps to keep the sad away as best he can.

crapflood ends

So: I study, and I play video games, and occasionally I make things, like circuits or small wood projects or papercrafts or candles or soap or a thousand other things half-done, or bang on an acoustic guitar. I used to go driving a lot, touring the area, before my tiny gas-efficient car died and I got a gas-guzzling van and petrol prices skyrocketed. I also study some more after that.

I still want to hear from people, though: have you done anything lately? Read a book, taken up a hobby, played WoW and hit level cap on your DK, bought something, sold something, borrowed something, stolen something, started something or quit something or sacrificed a three-headed goat under a blood moon, built something or destroyed something? Caught an interesting disease or been cured of one? Found god, and put him back again?

Heck, you heard any good jokes?
