It's getting a little late, and I planned on heading to bed, but I looked at my own journal and noticed that my last actual post was concerning my first day of work... I've been there nearly nine months now and I'm ashamed that I haven't posted anything in so long. The point is, I'm trying to get back on the lj-bike and this is my first step. I will have to keep this post a bit short though, it's nearly 3am and I have work at 11.
In my last couple of posts I was, for lack of any better phrase, acting like a whiny bitch. I'm not usually, and I know it's normal to be overwhelmed and such when going through a major life change (ie. moving half-way across the country to a hick town filled with people I don't know) but now that I've had time to adapt and settle, I expect myself to be a little less whinging.
And now, since we're through with my tedious little intro, on to the actual post:
Several times I've described myself as "socially retarded" and said that the only way I ever make friends is when I'm have some sort of forced contact with them. I actually think I really lucked out when I got the job that I did. Almost everyone I work with is very close to me in age, and being forced to spend time with these people while working has allowed me to actually make connections with them and I think I can actually call a lot of them friends. I mean, I've interacted with other humans on a social level!!! That's a big step for me! I'm just kidding, I'm not that much of a recluse. But I have been having a surprisingly good time, made some friends so far. I've gone out and done stuff. Gone for pointless walks. Cruised the back-roads just to listen to CD after CD. Things are actually going pretty well right now.
I do still have some issues with my life and myself, but who doesn't? I don't want to get too far in to any of that stuff right now though, considering my time constraints, so I'll just present the ideas of them as some sad little 'teaser' of what's to come in my next post.
Next time on THE PREPOSTEROUSLY BORING CHRONICLES OF CHARLIE: SEX!!! Not really. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Seriously now, I'll probably cover several things including 4/20, Sprint vs. Verizon vs. Cricket vs. Virgin, my apparent romantic retardation, the season premiere of Doctor Who, a randomly chosen episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, OH! AND!!! (and this is actually interesting, I think) my summer concert schedule. (Not that I'm a musician, I don't have the dedication for something like that, not to mention I could never choose which instrument I'd like to play, but I wanna talk about all the awesome shows I'll be going to this summer.) I've already got the tickets for 3 of them, I'm working on a fourth. I'm so excited!!!!
!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!! The list will include Muse, Arcade Fire, MGMT, Escape the Fate, Trivium, Black Veil Brides, Less Than Jake, Gym Class Heroes, Middle Class Rut, Hollywood Undead, Deadmau5, The Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, OK Go, ...okay. Stopping now. Really. Off to bed with me. Not with me. I'll be going to my bed. You do what you like. ...If you happen to get lonely, though. Well, then. I'm sure something can be arranged. *creeper wink-> ;)
I think I'm getting a tad delirious. G'nite.

Note: Sorry for potentially spamming anyone's friends page, I've tried to add the cut multiple times and have yet to be successful (as you can see). Never fear, for I shall not rest until this injustice is -!! Fuck that. I'm going to bed. I'll try to fix it next time I post.
social interaction,
