Another fantastic night in this summer of hell. This girl, a friend of a friend that I've never met, has been trying to get together with me for some time now, but we never managed to work it out. Tonight, I figured out how to meet up with her and we planned on getting drinks with her and what I assumed was just her friend, who I know pretty well and is always fun to hang out with. I arrive to find I'm the only guy in a group of five girls, which includes the little sister of the girl I'm meeting (we'll call her Alice). Alice spends the entire dinner talking to her sister, only stopping to occasionally speak to me. We go to a shitty, overpriced bar where I drop more money, and then we wait outside for twenty minutes at another shitty LA bar before the bouncer tells us the place closes in twenty minutes. When we all decide to split and leave, Alice tells me we should get together again and that she'll text me or I should text her. I just nod and get in a cab. She was stunning, too. I suck.
Major Fucking Rant: Buried a good guy yesterday. 33 is way to young to be put in the ground. Rave: My friend did this last night, and I needed to fucking laugh:
Rave: Holy shit I have been married for a whole year now. Rave: My wife thought the gift I got her was hilarious. I learned this is the "paper" anniversary, so I bought a thing of loose leaf paper, wrapped it up all fancy, and presented it to her in front of her family.
Rave Aced my statistics exam Rant Microbiology exam coming up and I keep forgetting some bacteria. That many of them cause very similar symptoms doesn't help either. Rave My rommate's girlfriend got him a mixer. That thing is absoluteley awesome, we've been drinking smoothies the whole weekend and I think I we used about 2 kg of fruit over the last 3 days.
Amazon just notified me that my copy of A Dance With Dragons shipped. I had forgotten I'd even ordered it or it was coming out. I am seriously excited about this.
Rave: Excellent, beautiful Sunday. Sunny, cloudless, 30*C (86*F) with no humidity. Rave: Two hour walk with friends and dogs in the park this morning. Good news! The Rottie I posted about earlier was rescued (not shot), and is in quarantine while the mites and bugs are driven out of his body. We'll decide what to do with him next week. Rant: If there's something I hate doing more than cutting the lawn, I don't know what it is. I own a push mower (like, old-fashioned non-motor kind) and due to my grass cutting hatred the lawn was too overgrown. I have spent the last 1.5 hours manhandling a borrowed mower through my grass, which was so long that it kept stalling out the motor. Fuck the lawn. My future husband has three dealbreakers: nice hands, nice smell, willing to do all yardwork. Rave: Dousing myself with the garden hose, then drinking straight out of the nozzle. No water tastes better than garden hose water.
Rave: Another 70 hour work week down. $375 tips in two days, and I didn't even have to take my clothes off. Rant: I'm in such a foul mood. Mr P had a couple beers last night and asked me if I had cheated on him with my ex. What. The . FUCK. I just can't help but be insulted that he could possibly have any question about something like that. Today he swears he was "kidding" and thought he was being funny, he sure came off dead srious for a joke. Rave: I haven't fucked the ex for nearly two years, way before I met Mr. P.. I am glad that it has been so long.
RAVE: Ex-Mr. Pink is dating someone, a mutual friend of ours. While it stung a teeny bit at first, I realized I was actually beyond happy for him. He's moving on. Which means I can finally say... RAVE: Southern boy is officially the boyfriend. He's been the boyfriend for months but now I can actually come out and tell people, since I was trying to spare the ex's feelings. RAVE OF ALL RAVES: I actually sat back and thought about this today - I've been promoted to the gang unit in our probation office (a move I've coveted), I'm in a relationship that makes me happy and I'm enjoying life in the south. I think it's safe to say I'm finally...content. What a hell of a feeling to have.
I am enjoying an incredible lightning show here in Denver. I love the way the thunder rolls under your skin... and HOORAY Mothership Wit beer.
Rave: Housewarming party in Ottawa for one of my best freinds Rant: Girlfriend puked in my car. Multiple times Rave: HST credit is almost the exact price of a quarter oz....
RANT: While doing yard work last night, I had my phone and MP3 player in my pocket with a lighter. This is exactly what is in the pocket whenever I'm out, and for years it's never been an issue. That is, until last night when I got home to see that I somehow scratched the fuck out of my phone screen, not bad enough to crack it or make it unreadable, but pretty ugly. The MP3 player got it worse - the screen was cracked to where the fluid leaked, and the HDD inside is ruined. The only sound it puts out is static with a bit of music trying to come through like trying to listen a radio station that's outside broadcast range. The good news is, I still have a replacement plan for the MP3, but it's going to take a few weeks, and the phone is still pretty badly scratched. #firstworldproblems (Sorry, guy who shits a brick every time he reads that phrase...talk about first world problems, eh?)
Rave I LOVE thunderstorms - best way to fall asleep. My roommate doesn't have it quite as good, his dog (Border Collie from the Kodak thread) hates them. She crawls on top of his head and vibrates and shakes all night long.
Rave: It took quitting pot and cigarettes ~6 weeks ago to realize how heavy a toll college has taken on my body. Pretty sweet because now I'm doing cardio and pumping life back into my frail lungs like a boss. The changes are so rapid it's incredible. Reading about you fatass computer nerds running the friggin Warrior Dash has given me some perspective. Woot.
RANT: My four year old got a bit of gastro from his mother and sister. I thought he'd escaped it, but Saturday night he proved me wrong. About 1am, I'm lying in bed about to go to sleep and I hear him opening the door. Then I hear the sound of something wet and chunky splatter on the carpet. He'd managed to walk all the way through the house, which is all tiled, to puke on the carpet just inside my bedroom door.
RAVE: New place, sharing with what seem like some really cool people. Hopefully this won't fuck up like the last one. RANT: The ex (an awesome girl that I fucked things up with) is back in my head. It's been months, and all it took was one shitty dream/nightmare last night, and now I can't stop thinking about her, and I really fucking miss her. Ah well, 2 days off work so I guess it's 'destroy feelings with beer' time. Spannercuntingfuckboxbelljarringdickpuke.
RANT: after the best weekend I had in a long time, I'm in the fucking hospital with what the doctors think is appendicitis. I've got an IV in my arm, and I'm going for a CT Scan in a couple of hours. FUCK I just hope they don't have to put a catheter in my dick. Do they do that everytime?
Rant: Just walked into my office to find that it's 82 degrees inside. This is not conducive to productivity. Update: Fucking A/C is busted. I'm already sweating, and it's supposed to be the warmest day so far this year today. This will not end well.
I'm off work today and will take advantage of that by watching too much porn and sleeping too much. Happy Monday!
