To every one who bothers to read this...

Happy New Year. to those that don't go bugger off.


Well last year was a very odd and yet interesting one. I finally got my MFA after years of crap, that most who read this might not know about but lets just say that it was an up hill struggle and not enough people died at my feet. The friends that I did keep both from my BFA and my MFA are however a welcome addition to my circle of friends. Of course Andrew was completely unexpected and much more then a welcome addition even if the circumstances have been well rather some of the odder ones in my life. I also moved to a state that I never thought I would move to in my life, really, no really, never thought I would end up in Texas even for a little bit. Emotionally the year has in many ways wiped me out and still I find a struggle to get back on my feet in a way. The marathon of schooling and work and travel of the last six years hit like a tone of bricks and once graduate school was done I thought I was. June and July were really just function and recover months for I did not understand how much shit I had deal with, with a five year relationship ending, losing of friends and the sepperation from my family. I put most of that off to get through and do what needed to be done. Looking back now it seems like such a world away at this point. Soon after this all (the end of July) andrew came into my life, I would say back for we had met twice before but it just feels odd, lol. and then lets see of ya six hours after he came back I was agreeing to move to Texas, fucken Texas and I had six weeks to get my stuff in order and move across the country with him. The move across the country was amazing I love road trips and it was his first and yes i know I still have not gotten all the pictures up yet on andrews blog soon, really soon. But adjustment to the environment and Texas as been interesting with my skin going crazy and my breathing problems in and out but it has always felt like a stop by and not home and so as we look into the new year the thought of moving once again does not faze me as much this is just not where we are meant to be. This year will also start my business officially, and will see the finish and hopefully sale of my novel as well as more shows. It is starting off right I have a show down here in January and one in the spring in Manhattan with GLAAD they have asked me to be part of the 2006 Media Awards a national thing that will be on LOGO so that should be some great exposure as well. I still feel like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar with my work I love making it but still surprised that someone will buy it and put it out. Andrew and I should also be launching my piece the magic bible nationally soon and I look forward to that if it takes off I am soooo building our house!!!

Well thats enough for now as a small recap but I wish you all a happy and healthy in the new year and in all your endeavors may this one be better for us all and leave us better then it found us.
