Debagging the cat

I'm sure you've all noticed that I tend to ramble on about inconsequential things in this weblog. Don't pretend you haven't =). I guess I'm a secretive person. Well, I definitely am, at least in certain aspects. Forgive me for not wanting to broadcast actually meaningful occurences. I think it also has to do with the general tone I'm cultivating here. This forum is more of a sit-com than a drama. Flippant and random are amusing, which is all I really seek to be. You don't really need to be exposed to any soul-searching I might be doing (and it's debatable that I undergo any such searches). First of all, I try to avoid the melodramatic, which would be impossible if I started erring towards philosophical platitudes. Also, I am just generally secretive about some things. I don't feel the need to share my problems, to become a burden, especially to you random, anonymous friends reading this. (I suppose this paragraph is typical of the type of introspection I'm rebelling against. Oh well, so it goes.)

It's getting kind of difficult to think of things to post these days, since a lot of what is going on (which I wouldn't mind propagating) is connected to stuff that I've been filtering away from you. Maybe that's why I've been posting so erratically this quarter. But anyway, enough is enough. I've decided to let the cat out of the bag. Anyway, it's been sufficiently long now that I've buffered you, o reader, from any melodramatics on my part.

So what's been going on? Well, to put it briefly, Jed and I broke up. Some little while ago. Continuing on this subject will probably lead only to histrionic pseudo-psychoanalysis, so I'll stop here. What else has been happening? The big news is that my friend John and I are now dating. Pretty short turn around time (especially for me), but, well, whatever. It's been several months, and while I certainly didn't expect to be dating someone new so soon (at least partly because most people I know (with clearly one major exception) are currently involved in long term relationships. Though that's only a minor reason), a justification would only be more of that annoying soul-searching.

So that's the news. Happy to be clued in? I'm happy. It's nice to be happy =). Happiness all round! Yay.
