These days I basically work and look for work. I signed a lease last month and I've locked myself into moving to Corvallis. It was a scary decision to make, but I just had to get out of the nothingness here in Langlois. So in September, whether I have a job lined up or not (but I better!), I'll be moving to my new home.

Life has become too monochrome for me living in the solitude of the rinky-dinky little town on the southern Oregon coast, I need to be where some people are. It's a risk doing what I'm doing right now, but I feel that it is needed and worth it. I want to be around other young people, I want to write more, and I want to experience job opportunities that are greater than the few local jobs there are around here.

Not that this place is terrible. Where I live now is beautiful and serene and I'm happy to call it home, but it's just not where I want to be at this point in my life. There are some great people in this area and a hospitality that I haven't found anywhere else to match it.

But I'm moving on, and I'm looking for work. Why does every employer have their own application to fill out? They all want the exact same information, but they make me fill it out a hundred different times. There should be a universal job application-- or at least an easy way to copy information from one to the other.

It's been a long time Vox, too long.

I've had very little Internet access since I moved to Langlois and haven't been able to keep up on Vox or any of my other websites. The wait should almost be over though, I'm moving up to Corvallis in September and I will have some of that lovely high-speed Internet that I've read about and pictured in my dreams.

I've written a few short stories and a bunch of random little flash fictions I want to share with you all. This summer has been slow for my writing because I've been job searching and preparing for the move, but once I'm settled in I think everything will start falling in place once again!
