3 Months Later
Oi, life is such a fast paced thing. Which is a pity for my poor blog.
I suppose I should start with the week I spent in Calgary with David, since that was where I was headed in the previous entry. I have to say, it was a very awesome week. I don’t think I’ve had that much fun in a very long time. He was a great host, and is easily the most awesome guy I know.. even if he is rather violent in his sleep! I really loved Calgary, it was a beautiful city. I could live there, and definitely would like to go back next year. His family was wonderful, I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so well as a guest. And he’s just to damn cute for his own good
For the record, I did almost not come home. Had it not been for the job I had waiting for me, I probably would have canceled my return flight and stayed quite a while longer. But, alas, life is cruel and I can’t pass up an opportunity. So yes, I can’t wait to go back again ^_^
I’ve been working a lot lately. 40+ hours a week easy. I got a job at an Ethanol plant as the IT person, which is pretty cool. We’ve got 2 plants, and a grain and dryer facility. I do believe the papers were signed to acquire a third plant this last week. So I’m probably going to be putting in 50+ hour weeks once we get the ball rolling on trying to get it up and running ASAP.
Obviously, this means I didn’t end up decided to go to SCAD. That made me very sad, actually. But, maybe later I’ll end up there. The cool thing is when I do decide to go for my BA the company will help pay for it, so, ya. Can’t complain.
Hit the ‘Single for a year’ mark back in July. I did go out on one date in that year, and had a bit of make out time with the guy. But it just didn’t end up working. So, yes, I successfully made it through the year ^_^ Hazzah! Of course, I’ve already got my next conquest planned out. Eric is a cutie living close to Kansas City, whom I actually used to work with at the casino. He’s very eager to take me on a date, and plans on coming to visit sometime this month. It’s cute. But, I’m not taking things to seriously. Over the last year, watching other people’s relationships, reconciling some of my passed ones, and analyzing the pros and cons of being in one at this point in my life.. they just don’t really seem worth it. Even the good ones are distracting and make a person less productive. Especially the first couple of months. If you start out really infatuated with someone your mind wanders and it’s harder to concentrate on things that need to be done. And then if there is a breakup? Dear God, my job is stressful enough without having to go through all that emotional junk on top of it.
So, I dunno. I guess we’ll just see what happens. I’m holding the whole situation at arms length. We’ve got a whole lot in common, more so then I think I’ve had with any guy, and I do like him. But he’s really going to have to wow me to get me to take anything seriously.
I’m still living at home, and I need a new car. Sadly, while I could move out on the pay that I’m getting, I really need a new car first. So, I’m saving for a down payment big enough to keep my payments at roughly $200/month, closer to $275/$300 with insurance, and then I’ll think a bout places. Though I do have a potential roommate, if she’d get herself organized enough with money management to get her out of the house.
I’m still playing with DailyBooth.com. It is still the most awesome site ever. Not so much on the YouTubing lately, though Rose (potential roomate) and I have some ideas for a show we’d like to do. It’s just a matter of getting it organized. So that might be something to see here in the future.
No real trips planned for the future. There was talk of going to Anime Iowa in the middle of this month, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen now or not. I will probably make plans to visit Eric in Kansas City if things go well enough when he takes me out. And Rose has said something about me going with her to New York at the end of the summer, which would be awesome as I really miss NYC and would love to see Ricky and Ally again ^_^
But, aside from that stuff, nothing to interesting has been going on. I’ve settled into a rather dull routine that puts me working 75%-90% of my weeks away.. like every other American.. something that I don’t really understand how people can do for 40 - 50 years of there life. It makes me ill thinking I’ll spend any more than a couple of years working this much of my life away.
My life is pretty stable and happy over all right now though, so I can’t complain. I hope you are all enjoying your lives as well
Hopefully another entry sooner rather than later.
