Be careful! lol
I dunno how many people noticed your absence, that may be true, but I've missed you. Would not be good for your computer to die again.
As for how I am, it's kinda of mixed. I am tired due to all I have been through the last little while. Seems to be taking a toll. However, I am both nervous and happy at moving soon. The idea that I won't have to pick up after people as much is nice. But I haven't moved in a long time and though I like the choice, it's a place I don't know as well and wasn't my first pick. And I am glad to see you!!
Then too it's really awesome that I have friends that are willing to help me get all this in order, but some of them make me worry so! One of the friends that was most helpful to me just got arrested today. Not for anything serious, but it still rattled me.
I took him back to his house a few towns away and since I had time to kill, we were just hanging out when he revealed he had a warrant out on him. I should explain..
A couple months ago he was shopping with someone he thought was his friend and they stole something. Before they told my friend, they let him hold it saying they bought it. But when the cops caught up, this person set my friend up. He claimed my friend was an accomplice and got him in trouble too, even though my friend had no idea.
My friend had to appear in court and ultimately decided that because he had done nothing wrong, he shouldn't have to pay pentantence for it. He stubbornly refused to do what he was told.. after all, he was innocent and thought it would work itself out. Thus, he got a warrant on him and got thrown in jail for a week.
He came out swearing he wouldn't do that again. He hated jail! So this time, he would try to earn up some money, pay off the fine imposed on him etc. But with no job, he found it tough to do and basically got complacent.. until the judge wanted a progress report. Suddenly he freaked out. What could he tell the judge? He's had tons of time and had forgotten, but that wouldn't fly in court.
So he skipped it.. and I found out today when a cop pulled up to question us. *sighs*
He's innocent, but is messing up his life cuz he's too proud to report for something he didn't do, and thus is in trouble all of his own doing, even though he didn't actually do any harm.
Sounds like a tough one your friend went through. The government is pretty stupid, but this letting a friend to "hold on to it" is pretty common. Basically, in my opinion, the friends who actually stole were only looking out for themselves. People like those are the influence that this kinda stupid things happen.
Your friend should get some kinda positive coming along soon since he went through all that bullshit. It'[s life, it'll have its ups and down in whatever form and whenever it wants to.
By the way, welcome back to the forest. :D
