Where have I been?
Not here, that's right.
I've been at Target. Working. Those of you familiar with my Sunfresh employment are probably shaking your collective heads at the notion that I haven't come very far. And to be honest, you're right.
But a job's a job, and I'm happy to have one.
The pay is a little depressing, and every beep of the register is a note in a song whose lyrics go something like this: "I have a Bachelor's Degree. I have a Bachelor's Degree. I have a Bachelor's Degree, and yet I'm doing this." I realized just today that I'd be doing the same thing and being paid the same wage if I were 16 years old. That's eight years ago.
It's not all bad, really. I've got a nice name tag. It's for somebody named Greg, though. I've learned to answer to the name "Greg" and I don't really mind. You can't blame them for thinking my name is Greg, it is on my name tag, after all. And only an idiot would wear a name tag with the wrong name on it.
If I do get an "Aaron" name tag (mental note: see about getting a "Bratch" tag) I may keep Greg and swap them in and out as I see fit ("well, self, is this a Greg day or and Aaron day?" [Maybe a Bratch day?]). I may even work out a system; I'm Aaron if I'm doing something good, and Greg if I screw up.

It's almost as if you've been resurrected and now instead of gandalf the grey, you're greg...
Several points:
1. Missed you tons, glad you're back.
2. I don't know how to type the numbers so they're even
3. I'm not sure I spelled resurrected correctly.
4. I went to see the HP5 again last night at the dollar theatre, and now watching it after reading book 7, can I just tell you that the movie was gut wrenching and I almost cried more than once...
5. I think you'd make a good narrator.
6. This is my first and only numbered post.
7. In case you didn't get the memo having slipped into the abyss after you smote the ruins of the fire thing on the side of a mountain, my niece was born.
8. After reading the aforementioned comments and references, it is clear to me just exactly how big of a nerd i am.
9. Hello to you as well.
Okay wow, when it posted the comment, it made the numbers even automatically...weird, so i guess, ignore Point 3.
(In no particular order)
1. Yeah, I read about the new munchkin, sounds like fun.
2.There was a lot about the LotR books that I liked, but the best thing ever was Gandalf the White. What a BEAST.
3. Haven't so much been away as been too tired to string words and letters into sentences. My job is physically and (moreso) mentally draining.
4. Yes, I believe you did spell resurrected correctly, and 5.I prefer my block paragraphing to numbered lists, but I'll make an exception.
