Taking the Plunge...

Argh... I'm applying to be a writer to The Board. It's been a long time since that idea first entered my head. It's kind of intimidating. I've felt so safe being the only one that really knows who Just Another Cassio is. Times are changing and so am I; so I think the time at last has come for me to apply. No, the time for me to apply at last has come. Or is it the time for me to apply has come at last...

For the past couple weeks I've been chatting with Lavish. Yep, that's right. Oh I haven't found out much more info than you can find on her Blog or responses but don't think I haven't gotten anything out of it. Oh no, one night she left me a Jell-O cake. Freaked me out. Seriously, no one in my apartment or neighboring apartment would eat any of my dessert from a girl online when I didn't know her real identity. I'm doing alright though. I'd say my main talent is having a strong stomach (or a strong stomach pump - good thing I know she's not reading this).

That'd be lying of course. No, my main talent is withstanding being submersed in really cold water for excessively long amounts of time. My family has the right blood in them I guess. Every year at scout camp we'd all go and do the polar bear for 10 seconds in order to earn a little blue bead. Little boys would be screaming under that frigid water and sometimes would come out with tears frozen to their cheeks. Not me or any of my family though. No sir! We'd be back in that water at least eight more times during the week. Heck this past winter when we opened up the pool and moved the ice so we could dive in, I was doing laps! Oh good times, good times...

So yes, I have been working on my application to The Board today and I think I'm done. It's only been 19 hours though and they gave me 100. Lavish says I should take my time but it really didn't take too long.

Should I send it now? Hmmm....

I think I will. I'm just going to double check some of my answers and I'll get it off in the next hour.

I really should keep this more up-to-date. It's just hard for me to write about the details of my life when I do want to conserve anonymity.

I guess it's a good thing no one reads this blog.
