The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Yeah, I know: Two journal entries a few days apart - what the Hell is going on?! Lol.



I don’t know … I was looking at a couple of people on my friends list’s profiles - people that I literally haven’t communicated with in years (as they are very rarely on VR these days and one I’m not even sure is still on the site at all anymore) and it got me thinking how much I used to enjoy Vampire Rave. In the first year and a half or so after I joined, there were so many people I used to have great conversations with regularly - which, of course, makes all the difference. Now, I generally log on for a second each day just to check messages (of which there are usually none, lol), etc., and that’s it.



So, what happened, you may ask? As best I can tell, most of the people I spoke to back then gradually fell off of the site to the point where they are rarely, if ever, on anymore and eventually, I just lost interest. VR used to be such a big part of my life and it just isn’t that way anymore.



I suppose I miss it a little. Some folks may say, “Who cares? It’s just people online.” That’s true, but I think for many people, that is the point. The Internet can be great for simply jumping on the computer and having some friendly interactions to take your mind off of the everyday stress of life, much like any other form of entertainment.



I will say, however, that my VR journal is still the place I go to when I wish to write down my thoughts.



What is the point of this entry? I don’t know … I suppose to take a look at how things change in life. For whatever reason, I just felt like sharing it, lol.

Well … it’s certainly been a while, lol.



Not that it matters much, I suppose. This entry really isn’t even necessary, as not much of anything has occurred in the past six months. But hey … whatever.



My computer system died just after the New Year, so unfortunately, I had to go without one for about two months until I was finally able to buy another in early-March.



Other than that, I have been giving serious consideration to picking up and moving to California as a way to give myself a fresh start. I think that would do me a world of good, as my life is obviously going nowhere here and I think I would have a better chance of improving things with new surroundings, new people, etc.



Unfortunately, the people I’ve contacted don’t seem as interested in helping me find an entry-level job in the industry I wish to build a future in as I hoped they would. I guess that doesn’t necessarily take the idea off of the table, but it does make what is already an uphill battle even more of a difficult situation.



I suppose we’ll see what happens. Hopefully, I can figure things out one way or another.

I've been wondering about you. =) A move to a new place could be a great thing for you. I hate how discouraging people can be. I hope it works out for you.



What industry are you looking for work in?



How is everything else?



I hate to say it but hearing "not much of anything has occurred in the past six months" is a pretty good thing to read. *shrugs* I guess that's just my position on life at the moment. I would rather my life be boring then riddled with heartache and whatnot.

Yes, I'm hoping a move would do some good. Believe me, a move to Cali would likely be pretty far off and a lot would have to happen beforehand, but we'll see what happens, I guess.



I don't know ... I wouldn't mind something other than the norm occurring for a change, as long as it wasn't bad.

I'm happy to see that you are still here and writing entries. A move to Cali huh? Well...me and my BF are in Southern Cali and if you have the transportation once you are here...and if you are interested...my brother in law can help get you great employment at Union Pacific Railroad. Full bennefits and all. Pay is extremely well too.



Just a little F.Y.I. if you decide to relocate to southern Cali. :)
