They need to come up with a less cliched version of "it never rains but it pours" so that I don't have to keep using that one.
For several months my life had been very quiet and peaceful. Now, in addition to working 20 hours a week for my dream company, I'm now in talks to possibly start a freelance copyediting job for another 10 hours a week, and this is in addition to the 10 hours worth of classes I'm taking, the screenplay I'm supposed to finish within a couple of months, and my (unpaid) responsibilities to an online gaming organization that I started and have been helping to run for three years. Oh and somewhere in there I'm supposed to be learning how to take better care of things around the house, and learn to cook.
Oh and yesterday I didn't have time for a shower - and today it's about 2 degrees and there's no hot water. And my parents are in from Tennessee for the weekend in about 7.5 hours and my apartment looks like a war zone.
I suppose I could just sit down and go "CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!", but I've come to understand that everything in life is a choice. I choose to believe that I have what it takes to make the most of the opportunities that have fallen into my path. The little things (like cold feet and dirty hair) don't matter. The job was an amazing windfall. The freelance assignment is with people I know and trust. My TV writing teacher this semester is a dynamo, and he stuck me with three of my favorite people from class for my critiquing group.
It seems the winds have shifted in my life, and I like the place they're blowing from. So I guess the only thing to do is just brace myself and keep heading into the gale.

Rock on. For some reason (and I refuse to evn begin to examine the question of "why") this year seems jam-packed with possibility. At least for those of us with hope. You're headed in the right direction, Millsy. New Heroes tonight.
