I have allot of people I could consider a friend, simply because I think they are cool, I can carry on a decent conversation with and don't avoid like the plague. But I'm sure like every one else, I have many, many levels when details beyond the above are added in. Now, and the very center, you find a layer that involves the friends I have that I'm actively interacting with, there are 4, a total of 5 if you count us as a group... so looking at us as a group, you'll find that only 1 of us still has a car that's not on the edge of being declared totaled. And it's not me. Out off the 4 of us with damaged cars, the pearl.. mine.... is the only one that can still be roughly driven, but if you let go of the steering wheel, it's automatically do a U turn, so understandably, we don't drive it. These 4 accidents have all occurred with in 3 months of each other, one last Thursday. I have not spent this much time on the phone since I was 16.

Aside from that a series of strange events, added with the already building up emotional and work related stress caused an emotional break down at the local DPS office.. I at least made it to my jeep before the rush of tears hit, but I wont bore you with the details, lets just say, Tuesday sucked. But I did pass another test, making 3 out of 6 and I'm going to try at the other 3 Monday on my day off.

I also am happy to report that I have finished the first draft to my Pirate Boys novel... some people have asked to have a look see, but considering the fact that it's riddled with notes and the characters don't even have proper names until the 8th chapter, I've had to decline the requests. But no worries, for I am taking the next two to three months to do some research on everything from Ships and Knots, to Horses, History and How other writers have mastered the art of story telling in narrative... in other words I'm not touching a Harry Potter book with a 10 foot poll... love the movies, but not a good source for influence, to current if you ask me. Yep, I'm drowning my self with the classics. So after my short break is over, I'll set forth working on the second, ready to read (test form) draft. Which wont take me near as long as the first. I mean my life sucks, but unlike in 2004 I have far less to occupie my time with.

Aside from that I'm off to find a speed daiting event in houston... this ought to be rich.
