"A Long Time Coming"

So the title of this post is in inverted commas because I actually wrote it out while at work today (I think a few people whom I've spoken to at length about this will know what I'm referring to, most recently Daryl whom I've met during lunch and after office hours over the past 2 days for chat). In the annals of my trusty notebook (notebooks to be precise, though the current MFA one I've been carrying for 2 months is the most substantial) you will find thoughts that have only been translated onto this blog in part. Very very few make it here at all actually, apart from this. So not to bore you, I shall instead write a little about blogging in general. For me, it's not just writing feels sort of resolving; reading what other's write is something I find incredibly engaging. It gives me glimpses into the lives of people I know and care about. I'm not the ardent blog surfer of my younger days, but when I do come across engaging writing I've decided to link it on the right side here. Recently in particular, I've enjoyed Paul's post (which I'm glad to have partly made an influence on), Elliot's post which encapsulates the incredibly hilarious writing style of the blog (I mean, schizophrenic pizza? That's a simile right there), and Tommy's because it is always a pleasant surprise to find someone who faithfully recounts and reflects so regularly these days. 

Ok heck, I'll just hurry past what I had intended to blog about - I still remember coming out for the psych interview on my 14th (of 16) days of confinement and feeling like everything was going as it should when I got my 9th feb date for the board immediately after. The email that popped up above THAT about the delay from which I've quoted here sent me into a tailspin, and to shorten a painful story, it's been 2 months coming; I'm (this next adjective has taken me a quite a few minutes to place my finger on, and really, it's merely the closest I can find to articulate everything in my head right now) excited for Wednesday.
