I'm working on transferring to a domain for my blog. As most of you can remember, in high school my biggest "nontheatrical" hobby was webdesign and blogging. Somewhere along the way, I told myself I didn't have time for it, and focused 110% of myself into my work. I entered college and didn't plan any sort of "me" time into my work.
Along the way, Max worked himself into my life. I'm not sure how he slipped into the cracks. I thought I had built a fortress that did not have room for outsiders. I guess I missed a bit. But I'm glad he slipped through the cracks. Now we're living together happily, and will be for quite some time. We have both decided not to get married until everyone has the right to in this country. That is, we will not marry until our gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender brethren can share the same joys under the law. Someone recently asked me if that was my way of "stalling" the wedding. I assure you, it isn't. I'm perfectly ready to be "bound" to this man. We are already one, in my mind's eye. We're a package deal. Some of my friends don't like this concept. They say I'm succumbing to society, or whatever. They are shocked that I need a man in my life. Well, the good news is, I don't need a man in my life. I need this man. And if he were a she, I would need that woman. I don't know how to explain it to my friends, but he isn't a temp. He's here for the long haul.
Anyway, after Max broke the dam, the water started flowing in. I discovered that I can have "me" time and "me" activities. I don't need to be working all the time. Don't get me wrong, I'm still 110% committed to my work. But it's healthy for me to have down time. It increases the quality of my work and the happiness in my life.
So I picked up guitar. I'm writing more. And now I'm setting up a bigger/better blog that I have 100% creative licence with. I can design a layout, without xanga or blogspot restrictions.
My name is Rebecca. It's nice for me to finally meet me.

^.^ *claps* Damn straight.
@CrepuscularMoogle - It seems like it would be easy to remember that everyone needs a little "me" time, doesn't it? I'm dumb sometimes. :P
@sayitsomehow - If by "dumb" you mean "Human" then yes.
