Nostalgia makes me feel obligated to give you all more. I feel as though in a certain way, I grew up with all you Nubblies folk. I'm not proud of some of the post I made (Paris Jen anyone?), but alas, here I am. Nubblies has become the journal of mine I hope no one ever finds.

Update to my life. I am a 2+ year homeowner, going on 4 years into my career as an IT data analyst. My job functions range from anything database administration related to C# development. I've been single since about August of last year, and have shamelessly been giving online dating a chance without much success. My life has become a bit too routine for my liking. I go to work, put in my 8-9 hours, come home, maybe work out, watch the Tigers and listen to a record or two, pass out, rinse and repeat. Once in awhile there's a deviation from this, but overall, that's my current, boring life.

I've never been very outgoing, nor do I seek that. However, it's becoming apparent I need a definite happy medium. Social anxiety has been the number one enemy of my life. However, as I become older, I question this sometimes. Is it anxiety that keeps me from activities? Am I anxious to dance for instance, or do I just not give a shit? In a lot of regards, I'm leaning towards the latter. Either way, the last year or so has definitely made me question things like this.

Doing the "important" things in life has been easy thus far. Go to school? Check. Get a degree? Check. Career? Check. It's been a no-brainer, and often I've just gone through the motions to do what I had to do. I think though at this point I'm getting ready to find someone to potentially start a family with and go through the next major steps of life with. In the past I wasn't committed to the idea of kids, but as I've gotten older, the idea has really grown on me. I definitely want to see my own - I want to see my genes grow up, no offense to adoption, but seeing "you" is the coolest part to me.

So yeah, hobbies. I like listening to records.
