Since my fiancee and I broke up I've done a lot of thinking about life. I have to say, I'm a happier person now than I have been for years. I don't think it's necessarily because we're not together anymore, mind. Frankly, a lot of it's to do with my improving health. But anyway, I've come to a conclusion about what I really think the purpose of life is.

Something which I'd never have to worry about oiling or gassing up, just a nice little tweak
So I thought I'd make my first blog post about how life's going, rather than RS. Anybody who wants to know about my RS life can ask in RS itself, right? Besides, my char is waaay behind the totals of most of my peers these days, so it's hardly something to brag about. Screw it, I'll talk about both. In case you didn't know, I work at one of the major retail stores in the U.S., but I won't say which because I'm always concerned about job security. It's definitely not godawful Walmart, though, I
