joining the working force

today was my first day at work. real work, at a real job. none of that queen business stuff anymore.

i guess that now, i'm officially back and officially back to stay. so today was both sad and exciting, because it marked the end of one thing and the the beginning of another. now i have more responsibilities that i can handle. now i have things tying me down. now i get to be a contributing member of society - again. now i get to repay my debts.

and now, i get to save for my next trip. or at least, dream about it for a while.
