Val,
It's been awhile again, I guess. I found a place to stay a while ago, a little apartment with a terrace. It's cute enough. Small, but I guess I don't need all that much room for just me. I got a job, but I think it's going to be very temporary. I don't like my boss. She's an old b***h. I don't like the work. I don't like my coworkers. I don't like anything about it. It's just until I find something better.
I've been really lonely lately. I think I know what exactly I was missing when I was in North Carolina. I think I want to take care of something, as strange as that might sound. I'm thinking about getting a cat. I was going to get a fish, just because they seem easy enough, but I think I want something I can hold onto, you know? Something to actually TAKE CARE OF,
