Vincent The Dragon

I have gotten back into SL more again.
My Avatar will never be a good representation of my fursona so I gave up on that but the one i have put together is pretty cute (*^_^*).
I did not know when you have a premium account, you get a free house so i claimed mine when i found this out.
I have been without a 'home' in SL since the Gayborhood went away. The free house is pretty good but your prim limits are low. It is not bad though for being 'free'.

Looks like I get to go to the next copier school here in a month because the tech i had in mind to go refused to since he has not had a raise in two years. Both the techs are not doing a very good job due to the management style and their personalities not really jiving. I dont blame them, i wish i had a better job too but i don't let it effect my work ethic. the number of employees at work has gone down, sales person let go, receptionist retiring soon so she was let go, techs on the verge of getting fired and no prospects in the works for any replacements. more work for me with the same pay that doesn't make the ends meet...

Well, I had a pretty good birthday.
Got some monetary gifts...I luff money!
Some nice shirts and a snuggely wuf blanket from my Wuf.
Spent some time at my dads, got a nice outfit and dad gave me some very personal gifts.
He gave me his military KayBar and something that belonged to my Grandfather; his Volt-Ohm meter.
The meter looks very nice on my shelf.

Got the new door up. I did a pretty damn good job for it being done by myself and having never put in a garage door.

It will be nice to have my garage back, once all mom's' crap is out of it I may have room to actually do things in there again.

Not much on my end. Have been working on the garage in prep for a new garage door. The structure of the place needed some loving care since it was built by a moron. Had a local furfriend over this weekend to assist and also to watch bad (and some good) movies.

Also the house has been somewhat a wreck since mom is in the process of packing up to move to Connecticut.

Why do i have them?
I have pruned the list from time to time but I am beginning to wonder why i even log into YIM at all. Nobody says shit and when i try to strike up a conversation i only get a few sentences out of them.

I generally have all of jack shit to do on the weekends other than work, I don't get to go out anywhere other than once in a great while and then its to help someone with something. Don't get me wrong I like being needed for help but damn can some of my 'friends' talk to me sometimes? Am i boring, do i suck, just not interesting or just not worth taking some time to know? Am i destined to have zero social life, not even online? Am I to be shackled to the house or work with only work to do and some odd projects of mine to keep me company.

Her spirit is not off this earth no longer and we committed her body to Mother Earth but she will never be gone.

I remember her sleeping in the dustpan, it was metal and sort of a pink color as I recall. When she was a kitten, very sick and so was I with my Crohn's; We took care of each other. She taught me how to Murf, could purr like nobody and she had a wonderful smile. We I came home she always had a hello murf for me; with a smile and her cute little pink nose. We love you Miss Duster and will miss you from now until we see you again.

Gramma Hope is passed away. She went off in the woods and did not return. I am hopeful that she went to sleep and never woke up.
She was a good cat, had a long life and was loved.
She will be missed.

My finances are not good and they are not getting any better. I am not making any headway in getting out of debt. Will's job is hard and not the best shift for us to spend time together but it does pay okay. This was the first pay check where he is in the position to help pay for stuff but nooo. Thanks to his sister and her husband we now have a two year dent in our finances. I was opposed at the time to helping them rebuild their predicament of not being able to get a car loan after they filed bankrupt but family is family so a car loan was co-signed on. Now rather than call us and let us know they were going to fall behind so something can be worked out, or calling the car place to work something out; Will gets the call from the car place saying they can't get a hold of them and the car is being re-posessed. Since Will's car load is from the same company we had to get the car and are now responsible for the payments. One of his other sisters, whom is not a total looser, is going to pay half the payments and she gets to use the car and we will pay the other half. Thats money we needed for our bills.

shitty day at work, I don't know what keeps me there.
Come home and no one is due in for awhile so I felt like listening to some nice loud music and I can't even fucking do that because my sub-woofer is old and shits the bed and I can't afford to replace it. So I make supper and watch crappy movies on netflix

My sister done got hitched yesterday.

Her and her new husband have been together for some 8 years now so it was a long time coming. The wedding was nice, I failed to burst into flames in the church, and I look good in a tux. All in all it was a very nice ceremony and reception and I hope they have a long and good life together. Will was part of the celebrations too, he looks very nice in a suit and tie *^_^*

I look forward to the following days of mom no longer being an emo mess and things getting back to normal here at the Lair.

Our finances are still not good. We were planning on having our commitment ceremony here in a few months but we do not see any way to come up with the money to do so. It will have to be postponed. My work is not the best place to be and I don't really see a long term future there; the cost of health care is killing us. Somehow we have got to get our rotating debt wiped out; if it were not for that we would be breaking even but just barely and that would still not leave enough left over for a place of our own to live. It really sucks struggling all your life with nothing to show for it. i don't mind the struggle, i am used to it but not being able to stand on our own in life at the age we are is disheartening to say the least.

So now that I have run out of Star Treks to watch on Netflix I have decided to watch something else. The system decided to recommend Trinity Blood. It's pretty good but one thing I don't understand is why Anime females are drawn so...stupid looking with boobs the size of watermelons. I mean, sure, me being gay means boobs in general are something I don't get but really...boobs the size of watermelons?

A friend of mine got himself a 'little' telescope.
We had some gazing but the sky at his house is not the best. Looking forward to having some sky time at a more remote place.

We went and saw Battleship.

It was pretty good!
(^_^)
And it was nice to have a date night; we have not been able to do that for a while.

...not much going on really.

Will's getting used to his job; things there are going good.

Mines the same as always.
