The last month or so has been a time of unprecedented awesomeness for me, as a new Golden Age has seem to have begun.

I've started seeing one of the greatest women I've ever known. She was a really good friend of mine a few years ago when we were in college together, and since she's coming to visit for a wedding we've been talking a lot and now we're sort of an item. It's great. Nothing else has ever made me feel so good in all my life. There had been some really rough past experiences, and for a while I was starting to worry that I was never going to be able to love somebody like this ever again, or ever have them love me the same way.

Also, I've struck nerd-oil with a new gaming group. We roll twelve geeks deep, and the VtM roleplaying has been plentiful. I spent such a long time dealing with non-nerd friends, burying my true desires deep below commonly accepted social conventions (since I am a functioning geek) but now my true demons have found release and I shall loose their dice-rolling savagery upon the world!

This has of coursed, helped create a nurturing enough environment that I have been able to find peace and solace, and recognize that my core Buddhist beliefs still ring true. With all the stress, work, isolation, and lack of direction, I started to feel like all the things I knew to be true on an intellectual level weren't manifesting as something knew on a spiritual level, on a level of something that was actualized in my life.

So let the good times roll (twenties).
