An update on Nate-ness:
* I prefer Nathaniel to Nate. I always have but never really asserted this. I'm not going to try and get people to change what they call me, there are people who have been calling me Nate for years and it would be unreasonable to try and get them to change. I was just thinking about it and how odd it is that I prefer the full name to the easy nickname.
* I have begun reading a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories. I have never actually read much by the guy so this should prove interesting.
* I am still awake at 12:45. This is not a good thing. Tomorrow I shall be tired at work. Banking errors may occur. The world, I am told, may end.
* I am dating Emily. It has been over two and a half years. I love her and am quite happy. Today we had ice cream. It was delicious and horrible for my lactose-hating stomach. Tomorrow I am purchasing Biore nose strips so that we might compare nose-gunk buildup and declare a winner. I am taking bets for those interested.
* Tim lives with Scott (and thus Juli), Tristan, and Arjun (and thus a sometimes Torrie). This makes for an apartment of awesome that i wish I could visit more often.
* I play in a Requiem game which is quite excellent. But really, I can't wait until Changeling in the Spring, which I will be leaving playing Requiem so that I might ST Changeling as I cannot stomach engaging in two LARPS at once.
* I work at Bank of America as a Teller still. The pay is still good, the benefits are still amazing. The awesomeness of the job has diminished somewhat in my mind, but I can still tolerate it for the moneys. I also work two days a week at the UCONN Health Center in Farmington as part of my Master's Degree Program. I sit in a little room and do math all day, but the hours are completely flexible and the dress code is almost non-existent which is amazing. I have class on Tuesdays, it is an acceptable class, although not one of my favorites.
* I've spent the last couple of nights staying up way later than I should listening to music that depresses me. This inevitably puts me in a funk for the night without good reason because my life (quite simply) is awesome, if a little pressed for time. Perhaps I shall block youtube from my computer so that The Fray and Johnny Cash may not torment my fragile, fragile emotions.
* The urge to dye my hair, get a tattoo, or some other strange thing is resurfacing. I think, perhaps, I shall avoid alternate hair color based on past experience. A tattoo is permanent, however, and should not be done lightly. I should just get a tattoo of something ridiculous, like the Bank of America logo... on my left butt cheek. I think that even if I ended up hating the bank, I would still find that acceptable simply because of how utterly random it is.
* You know why I like STing? I like it because it allows me to create something. I have never been truly capable of producing something in my life. I learned to play the piano for quite some time, however I did not create music, I simply performed someone else's creation. I never learned to sing, draw, sculpt, or write with any amount of skill. STing allows me to craft stories that I hope people find enjoyable (and if I'm really lucky meaningful).
* When I was young, I used to put the TV on the sex channel and listen to the sounds (the video was scrambled). It always kind of struck me as odd that they seemed to be narrating what they were doing.
* In case anybody is wondering, I am writing this stream of consciousness. I can't believe I spelled consciousness correctly on the first attempt.
