This weekend is for me to have some fun. My best friend is having a party today to celebrate getting her bachelor's in English finished. I'll probably head over to her house and spend a couple hours hanging out with her. It's partly just an excuse for her mom to have people over to drink though, and me and my bfff both understand this. Still, it's her day and we will have some fun.
Been expanding my interests in Netflix. I watched the first part of the pilot of Lost today. I tend to avoid super popular things unless they really appeal to me. For instance, I love Trueblood. I hate Twilight. It's just the flavor. When Lost was huge, I avoided every and any mention of it because I don't tend toward being a sheep. The hype finally died down so I figured I'd see what all the hubbub was about. So far it's...ok. It hasn't really grabbed me, but I'm willing to keep watching it. I'm also watching the third season of 24. I do like that show, and Jack Bauer is a badass. .But...the writers are such assholes to him. It's like they want to see how much they can repeatedly and horribly traumatize the poor guy. It reminds me of Last Action Hero when Jack Slater found out that Hollywood was writing his life and all the horrible things that happened to him and he told his Chief that they DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO SHOUT! Yes, old geeky movie reference. I'm that guy.
Doesn't look like I'll get to go to Dragon*Con this year, which disappoints me. 5th year not going because personal crap just got in the way. But I would very much like to do some traveling before the year is up. I have connections in Orlando and the flights there are cheap from my local airport, so I may be able to go to Disney World for my birthday.
I sometimes obsess over stupid things. Like this girl at work, she doesn't respond to texts for a couple of days and I start to think something is wrong. But then she'll just be fine and wonder if I'm daft for thinking she was mad at me. If I'm your friend for a while or there's a strong connection, I can go weeks without talking to someone and have no problem. But there have been times when someone will just straight ignore my calls or my texts and hope I'll get the hint. I never do, and I usually end it on my terms. I hate that. If someone does have the directness to tell me to my face, I might be disappointed, but at least I can respect them and there's some kind of closure.
Some of my friends on SG are probably among the best friends I have. They're the ones hundreds or thousands of miles away that I can nevertheless count on at anytime to be there for me if I need them, and that's why I think I'm still here after all these years. I couldn't possibly name them all, but a couple of them would have to be this girl or or this one or especially this one. Thanks guys.
