And Trina&#8217;s trying to become more social&#8230;"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Since the first day of Fall, I&#8217;ve been wondering if maybe Summer had decided to stay &#038; give Autumn a miss. But as of yesterday, it&#8217;s actually seemed like Autumn &#8211; yay! Walking home from school yesterday, I saw steel gray skies, some trees (the maples, of course) starting to turn, and encountered a lovely cool breeze that never let up. There&#8217;s my favorite season! Back again! <\/p>\n<p> I notice that it&#8217;s been over a week since I last wrote in my journal. Wow &#8211; now this was what I figured would happen after the first couple of weeks of having my LJ. But it has taken almost two years to get to this point. I blame my lack of posting to my City of Heroes addiction. Since getting my level 50 hero, I&#8217;ve been creating and playing lots of other heroes and so my drive to play has increased. If it wasn&#8217;t so much fun, I&#8217;d be worried. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p> Anyhoo, I&#8217;m doing what I can to get back into my rather limited social life. Last night, I went off to the Fisher&#8217;s for homemade pizza &#038; folks to chat with. Today it&#8217;s off to see <i>My Fair Lady<\/i> at the Schuster Center in Dayton. My aunt, cousin, mom &#038; I are going to see it. Then going out for dinner afterward. Apparently this show is getting good reviews. A show not to be missed. Nice! <\/p>\n<p> And to further my socializing, on Thursday I&#8217;ll be going on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightthenight.org\/\">Light the Night<\/a> walk with a coworker and lots of strangers. It sounded fun, I&#8217;ll get to meet his fiancee, and it&#8217;s at the Fraze Pavilion, one of the nice venues in the Dayton area. Now I know lots of you are probably donated out with the Katrina relief funds and whatnot, but if you&#8217;d like to contribute a little ($5? $10?) to the Light the Night walk, you can do so at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.active.com\/donations\/fundraise_public.cfm?key=ltnShort15\">this website<\/a>. It&#8217;s in aid of Lymphoma &#038; Leukemia research. (My co-worker&#8217;s mother has lymphoma. A friend of mine in high school died our junior year because of leukemia. These diseases touch a lot of us and our loved ones. Please give something if you can. If you can&#8217;t, that&#8217;s OK too!)<\/p>\n<p> So, perhaps with these small steps at socializing, I might get out of my antisocial funk I&#8217;ve been in for the past couple of weeks. And maybe even post a bit more to LJ!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the first day of Fall, I&#8217;ve been wondering if maybe Summer had decided to stay &#038; give Autumn a miss.
