(no subject)
It's, again, been a while since I've updated, and I guess its about time.
...Work...
Work has been going alright. This week is EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) and I am working 8:00-4:30 this Saturday & Sunday and next Saturday & Sunday. Most people would think that blows, working 14 days in a row, but the benefit of it is I get to take time offs in later for a total of four full days, free of charge.
Other than that, work has reached a bit of a lull. There isn't much going on, and I am just polishing everything that I've been working on. This has left me with little to do, but I'm surviving.
...Travel/Milwaukee...
I took some time off the second weekend of this month to go down to Milwaukee. Overall the trip was really great; I got a new phone, ran into people I haven't seen in over 10 years, and overall had a good time. As usual, I went to Rocky Horror on Saturday night, and it was cool. I went with my roommate which was a good time, as I haven't seen him in two months. This month, sadly, was not as great as previous months have been. This was mainly due to the fact that half the people there were virgins, and just didn't know the basic "how to's." What really made it pop was this chick behind us who wouldn't shut up; on more than one occasion she made me laugh with her sharp tongue and wit. Something I don't see a lot of these days.
...Relationships...
Nothing really here, but I figure I can talk about past ones for a bit, as it's kind of comes up. It also works rather well since a lot of it consists of what happened in Milwaukee. So, for the first time in half a year plus, I saw Laura. For those who do not know what that is, her and I were pseudo seeing each other late last year. Long story short, there was sort of a love triangle type thing going on between her, myself, and one of my better friends from back home. At the end of it he "won" (for lack of better terms) and they have been dating since mid January.
Aaaaanyway, I saw her for the first time in half a year plus, right? Right. Let me tell you not only did it come as a shock it was a bit awkward. I ended up spending a good 30 minutes going through Japanese with her, while her boyfriend sat by watching, impatient and angry. As odd as it is, it was gratifying to see him pissed off. Not to sound cocky, but knowing him I expect minor jealousy, even if he won't admit to it (which he wouldn't).
Other than that, I've been having a spat with an ex of mine lately...what no one knows is I was in a short relationship for a few months, a few months ago. It was strictly long distance, as she is going to be going to college in Michigan soon, and not the UP. After a few months I decided to break our relationship and keep it at a strictly friends level. Why? I'll explain that in a minute. Well we've been friends since, and even have been growing closer and closer because of it. Now, she's into another guy, which is all well and good, but I can't help but feel a little jealous. This, for good reason, pisses her off. On top of which pisses me off. I shouldn't be getting jealous, especially since this is what I wanted. Regardless, I have to deal with it on my own, and let time pass for me to deal with my own consequences.
Now I guess the question is, why did I decide to end our relationship, especially since we were doing well? Part of it was, we were, and we weren't doing well. Ever since my last two..."relationships..." or whatever you may call them, I have had trouble committing, especially at a distance. Looking at something as long distance has been harder and harder for, when it used to be easy. It's harder for me to open up the way I used to, and if I did open up, I would quickly shut the doors again.
I guess I still need some time, which is sad to see, say, and hear. That relationship was nice, but with me being the way I am now, it just wasn't right, and I think people would agree with me. So now I have to deal with my own choices, and I'm still working on that.
With all that said and done, I guess we are left at the latest....
...Harry Potter...
So, I ended up purchasing the deluxe edition (a.k.a. the "Adult Edition") last night, it's very nice, and I must say I like it. Aesthetics aside, the book is REALLY good. I'm up to chapter...15, and plan on being at least up to 20 by night's end. I'm trying hard not to look at spoilers that Kat or Andy has posted on their LJs (though by saying page numbers...oooo is that sly ;) ). I will more than likely be done with the book by Monday morning. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and in the end might have to get the rest of the "Adult Editions" too.
I suppose that is enough for now, I've babbled quite enough for now I think. For anyone who reads this, it's good to know that you do. Its easier to get this shit out all at once rather than individually. I suspect I know who reads these things, and they are the people who really count.
