I choose to make a post.
Because the longer I don't post, the harder it gets to post, and I wish to break my not-posting streak.
Can't remember how long it's been, and I'm not going to look.
But here's an update of Life According to Lucy:
1. I have acquired a boyfriend! (Via OKCupid.) He is lovely. I am happy. He is currently in Norway (sadface).
2. I had a temp job for a while and now I don't. Working on that. (Again.)
3. I signed up for the Dreamwidth development team! So now I have a dreamhack (WOOT) and a Bugzilla account. I've claimed a bug and I'm learning Perl in the hopes of figuring out what to do with it. (Must, in fact, upgrade my hack since the code push, and work out how in the hell to install Perl 5.14 on my machine - currently have 5.8.)
4. There is much figuring out of how to improve my life, as per usual. (Getting a real job would be a realllllly good start.)
5. I'm teaching myself Perl by a) reading Beginning Perl which is a free internet book which is being REALLY HELPFUL, b) trying to write a text-based game (which, as teh boyfriend is an expert Perl programmer, is rather full of code that makes me go, "what does that do?"). I spent the last of this week's spending money on getting the Camel book used from Amazon (breaking my two-years-plus boycott). I am going to become good at programming!
6. There will be more later. Six things make a post, right? right.
I have been reading, but I need to a) post more and b) comment more.
Missed you, blogoverse!
