A few of you who know me know that I left my PhD program about half a year ago after some very difficult decisions, and struggled for awhile in terms of my post-grad school identity and career as a result (I spent WAY too long in a bad setting, and I had to accept that there wasn't a path forward with what I was doing). I was pretty set on going into industry and leaving academia before I stumbled into a position I couldn't pass up, and now here I am at a new (better) university, in a job that affords me some time to tinker with things, while also saving me from the nightmare of doctoral-track academia. And it pays pretty darn well.
The only downside has been that it's (two) biophysics labs, and I am trash at physics. It's a steep learning curve but it's worth it so far.
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
She is a Dollfie Dream from Volks. (Which is their there anime style/proportioned dolls). With a customised DH007 head.
There is also SmartDoll who do a similiar anime style but very different. You can get hardrives and charge parts placed in them so they have a use other than be pretty.
May not be Centre Crossing, but that's sure as hell what I read it as XD

And wild plums are blossoming, they smell wonderful

It's fun to learn new things.
I spent the afternoon geocaching with my brother (getting covered in mud and nearly falling into the swollen river) we then went for ice cream and a long chat. That evening I went out with my sister, her husband, his parents, my brother, and my niece to play pool and listen to music.
Today were celebrating an uncle's birthday together at my grandparents' house. Later I'll go to dinner and for a walk with my best friend's family.
For the last three years I've lived around 9 hours from my family and it has changed me. I have improved in many ways, I'm more self reliant, more sure of myself. It has also changed me in negative ways, I have less patience, I don't listen as well.
Family and friends are very important to me, in some ways it feels as if I'm currently living in an affection desert. I'm friendly, I have friends, but I don't have the intense joys (and rarely miseries) of being near family.
Thaumas cannot move here fast enough.
My rave is actually for my wife, who we just bought a digital piano for, and she's actually taking piano lessons for the first time in about 15-20 years. I'm so proud of her recently, she's loving her job, she's lost 20 pounds in the last couple of weeks (not that she needs to she's gorgeous already), and she's trying new things that she was nervous about because I'm pushing her to be more confident in herself.
I'd also like to rave my little baby girl, who is almost 19 months old, and is getting so big and so smart so fast. She now calls me "mydaddy" and lights up like a christmas tree when I grab her from daycare each day.
My life is a farcry from 5-6 years ago, when I was in Afghanistan contemplating suicide after a pretty intense breakup. But, I pulled myself out of that thanks to some Army friends, got a few months to myself, and then applied for a dating site in march of 2012, where I met my future wife. Life is so funny sometimes.
He deserved it so bad!
Probably the best benefit of the new tweaks to the website and forums us old guys can go back to our names before the mandatory use of character names was instituted.
