For anyone who was wondering where I have been:
Bree and I put our house on the market last week (we have already had 2 showings, today in fact)
We are packing up and heading south once this place sells (Research Triangle area in NC, most likely just outside Raliegh)
I got a SWEET job as an independant contractor (programmer) for a company out of virginia. The pay is almost what I made at my las job, and I work from home now, so I spend almost all of my time working or with my family, hence not spending really any time here.
I make my own hours, and do something I really enjoy now, so Life is pretty good. I finally made it out to an actual theater on friday, and boy was it worth it. I saw 300 on a big screen, and I am really glad I did.

Oh...But...You're getting ready to move, too...Then you'll be really far away from us :(
You should come and visit while you're still close :)

Raleigh huh?
No shit dude, you're going to be dangerously close to me!
Good luck and congrats on your climb up the socio-economic ladder!
BTW-NC is totally low on the cost of living scale-no shit.
We just looked at a 6 bedroom for about $300,000!
But at the beach the costs are still fucking people in the ass, but what do expect...it's the beach*shrug*

I guess when you went on that North carolina Fact-finding mission you missed it was on the east coast, eh? ;)
For the record, it IS Carolina, not Dakota. We are trying to Avoid cold winters.
Nova, cost of living was a huge consideration. The overall COL in the Raliegh area is 13.4% lower than where I am now!

Great news Vod. You really can't put a value on doing something you enjoy for a living.
A few years ago I took a 50% pay cut to go and work in Spain teaching English for a couple of years. Only just enough money to get by, but the value of the whole lifestyle far outweighed the pay cut. I feel much richer for the experience.
Glad you enjoyed 300 as well. I went to the cinema for the first time in ages to see it the other night - it's definitely one of those films you've got to see big screen!
I'm thinking of going again for Grindhouse and Sunshine.

Thanks everyone! I got my first paycheck today, and boy was it sweet! Being my own boss has turned out to be better than I thought.
I wrote an article for a guy who I now have to yell at because i havent seen a penny for it yet, but that is small potatoes.

I wasn't wondering, I figured you just got tired of this place. :p
sounds like you have a lot going on, I hope you find time to post every once in a while. :)
