Well, my great move-a-thon beings at now plus about 7 hours.

Almost everything is packed, the apartment is almost empty (except for the remaining furniture and the great big wall of boxes).

My job is actually sending me out of town next week (I'm going to MI), so I'm not going to be around.

Also, my new place has no Internet access or phone yet,...

Well... I'm not actually from SV... I only lived there for a year and a half. I think it's probably that we had some mutual friends or something. Like you said, everybody knows everybody there so thats probably it.

I'm busily packing for my move. I've got the apartment (2415 at the Springs on 5th, if anyone's interested). Tomorrow I've got to call all the utilities and get everything moved over, and reserve a U-Haul.

The place is already starting to look emptier though. Almost all my books are packed, and the little knick-knacks in room are mostly packed, and I've got two cloests...

Did you ever know anyone who worked there? You look wayyyy too familiar to me for it to just be coincidence. Then again... in that little hole of a town everybody knows just about everybody else, so it's probably just that I saw you at Denny's or Famous Sams or something.

Dear SuperGP,

How are you doing? Things here are good; we have just crossed the Tenwater and the men are all preparing battlements for tomorrow's battle. Most of _my_ time, on the other hand, is spent at IHOP, smiling at strangers and getting drinks.

In other news, my wagon has a broken axle and we must stop to repair it. I will send the boys, Jonathan and Theodore, out hunting for buffalo. Even if they can only haul back 200 pounds or so of the meat, that should sustain us for some time.

Duke Szforza sent his guards to my home last night and burned the place down. I was at a dear friend's house, who hides me still, but i weep for my wife and children. May the Lord who is merciful show kindness to them, here and forevermore. May He also strike down the Duke in glorious fury.

My brother and I are encamped near a high cliff, looking down on the Wandering Woods. My heart is wearying, after the death-defying crossing of the Cheese Bridge and the intense struggle with Sir Ludwig. But we must press on. We must find the sunken ghost ship and save our dear princess.

The girl seems to be getting along rather nicely now that we've managed to isolate her from her former peer group (such an hideous influence, that). She is still showing some reluctance with the long 'a' sound, but Mr. Higgins is most insistent; so strong, so deep is his commitment to the task that he refuses to allow the girl to eat until she pronounces this vowel correctly! Oh, that i were half the man he is...

Lately, it's been very difficult to get time away from work. Much of this is my own fault, as i rarely if ever turn down a shift. I've been ending up with one day off per week, Saturday, and i try to spend that time with the girl with whom i've fallen completely in love. Other free time is in the middle of the night, which is usually spent reading classicesque literature, learning Spanish, or working on math. The _trouble_ is, weekdays are entirely out as i start working as you get off work, and i usually get off at about midnight - far too late for a rendezvous. Weekends are also, for the most part, out, as Sundays i usually end up with a double shift and Saturdays, which evenings i have free, i try to spend with that girl. Maybe someday i will get a Saturday morning off.

Maybe then.

You know, after having some time and some talk, I'm perfectly OK with it all now.

My small thing for squishy got a little worse, but nothing exceedingly serious.

And I had a lot of fun, all things considered, and the pain's all gone, so what the hell. Maybe I'll do it again sometime, maybe not.

E is kinda fun, kissing girls is definetly fun.

You know, Super, i think ultimately what i like about us growing up is how perfectly reasonable things start to appear after a while. Romance, drama, dare i say love - these things used to be vast, sweeping, overwhelming, and my only response to any of it was to get totally confused and paralyzed for weeks on end. Nowadays, they're still all of those things, and i still get confused and paralyzed, all the same, but somehow i manage to recall that it's all in the way of things and to keep my head on my damn shoulders.

Kissing girls is definitely fun. :-)
supergp:
I can never tell when you're being pretentious, because you appreciate the irony, and when you're being serious, and when you're just trying to mess with my head.

But I'm finding that as I get older/a little more experienced.


Yeah. I need one even worse now. *sigh*

OK, I guess I just need to talk about it, so here goes.

I went to go hang out with squishylizards last night.

Well, I guess I might tell the story chronologically.

I went over to her house, and we sat and talked, and she drank, and we talked about boys she's interested in.

Then we went out to a bar, had some drinks, hung...

Um. I had a very, very complicated and confusing evening last night, and I'll write about it in here when I'm ready. Which is, NOT now.

So I went into this ultra-depressed mood yesterday.

So today, I'm sitting here alone drinking 70-proof vodka straight (I normally drink very wussy drinks).

So, all my friends tell me I'm a pretty damn cool guy. And a lot of the girls in my life tell me that girls would be lucky to have me. So why won't any of them date me?

Plus, Coliwali...

1. you dont get out enough, and you know that. i'll try to be more help, but they arent going to fall in your lap.you know that you are awesome, don't worry, it will happen when it happens and i'm sure whoever she is will have been worth the wait.

2. i don't think it has anything to do with you in particular. colin doesn't want to live with anyone. you are still going to see each other all of the time and be great friends.

3. that is all of the evertthing-is-going-to be-ok that i can squeeze out right now, but don't worry so much, it is.
try to smile, enjoy your vodka, painting and drawing and whatnot can be a great way to release some tension, and tomorrow we will have a grand bitching and whining fest.
coliwali:
Its 5 miles. There is a bus route that stops like a half block away from my house. So its not like we wont se each other ever again.

I'm back. For all those of you who saw the advice entry, well, I did e-mail her, but never got any response at all.

More, when I get around to writing.

I'm going down to SV tomorrow, won't be back for a week. I'tll be nice to see my sis and her two munchkins again.

I dyed my hair again today, and let me tell you, it is DEAD sexy. If I was a girl, I would so fuck me.

I did my armpit hair too, this time. Looks kinda wierd, but it's pretty neat looking...

just email her and tell her you felt like a chump for forgetting to give her your number, and if she wants to get together and continue chatting sometime, to give you a call. leave her your number in the email, keep it short sweet and simple and leave it up to her to make the next contact. don't apologize or act shy about the fact that you got her email off of a directory, the odds are she'll be flattered that you went out of your way to contact her and won't see it as creepy unless you bring it up first. that is, unless you actually are being creepy, which i don't think you are.

I think Strangle and Deadly are onto something there.

Well, my bike is for shit. The shifters are missing several gears. So, I'm angry.

I'm off work all next week, I'm gonna go see my sister and her kids when they fly into the country. Also, my parents.

I think my recent self-esteem boost is going to prompt me to look for a better job. This one isn't awful (hell, I sit in a...

Yes...you have a sister...

So how the fuck come we never see each other no more, Super? We should paint the town red or something. We'll drive the ladies wild, we'll alert the militia, smash all the street signs, erase all the maps, grabs us some eats on the way back. HEHLLZ yeah Boy.

You guys move or what?
coliwali:
Id go for the raise personally. If they are willing to pay you enough to stick around, I dont see the point in looking for a different job youll hate.

I did a lot of telephone talking this weekend. I spent 2.5 hours yesterday talking with Tiz, who, other than Coliwali, is my best friend on the planet. Then I spent a half hour on the phone with my old man. He's building me a MAME cabinet (I paid for half the parts, he's using this as a prototype for his), and it sounds like...

I got pretty trashed last night, and spent a lot of time being all introspective and shit.

To wit:

1) I'm actually a pretty cool guy. People had been telling me that for years, but now I believe it!

2) Tanya wasn't any good to or for me. It's a good thing, in the long run, that she didn't want me.

3) I wasn't as...

No, we can still hang out, I just wont get much XP for it. I guess I could go kill something at my level, that might level you up.

well, i didn't mean to be insulting, but i get these big surges of "everything is really ok, what was i worrying about," then i start nitpicking again the next day, ach, well, started on the die. gotta work on it more, get a few versions that you can look at

Wow. I can't believe I'm still awake.

So, I'm now looking for a house by myself. On the wierd side, My self-esteem is rising. I realize I deserve better than Tanya. I'm starting to think I'm actually an all right guy. Oh, and Kristen said I was a "6" (looks, on a scale of 1-10), which helped a bunch.

I'm signed up for class- Writing...
