I'm back!!!
Sorry! I'm alive, I'm alive. I had a long weekend and have been out of town a bit and just overall busy so haven't had much of a chance to update. I'll be catching up on commenting and whatnot soon enough so bear with me!
I have NO idea where to start so I'll just start somewhere. Today, I plan on asking out Meg, the girl I've been talking to from the dating site. I'm incredibly worried and excited about it, but it's good to feel again. :) It'll be a little tricky since I'm asking her out for Thursday night, and on Wednesday I'm going to be driving up to St. Cloud again to spend some time with Megs and stay over at her place. It's nothing like that, though, and me and her are just incredibly good friends. It really is scary just how well we get along and how much we have in common. Really wish she lived closer, though. With gas prices the way they are, an hour and a half drive is painful.
I got a new phone! Carrie gave me a Sprint phone she doesn't use anymore and I got my number transferred to it and it's working great. It's a little loud, but... Ok, it's REALLY loud. Even on the quietest setting, you can hear the damn thing for miles. I went online with it to look for new ringtones/wallpapers, but apparently they all expire after 90 days. When I've downloaded things before, there was never any talk of them expiring and being removed from my phone. I'm thinking it's just a crappy service built into the phone so I'm going to browse around a bit. Oh, my old phone had a bit of an accident... It was on my computer's sub and I had my music up really loud and it vibrated off the speaker and into an almost empty cup. There's still water inside of it and I've tried putting it in front of a window, shaking it, letting it sit in front of a fan. Mainly, I've tried shaking it, but I can still see water in the LCD and it won't power on at all. :(
Speaking of Carrie, me and her hung out yesterday. She's going through a really, really hard time with family issues right now so I've been trying to be there for her as much as I can be. We went to the Mall of America and got some things for Father's Day and I bought two books from Barnes and Noble. One being Naked Empire by Terry Goodkind which is the next book in the Sword of Truth series that I haven't read yet so pretty excited about that. Incredible series and I highly recommend it to, well, anybody that likes reading! It's what's inspired me to start a novel of my own. The other book I was talked into getting was the first Harry Potter since I told Carrie I'd never read a single one of the books, nor seen any of the movies. She sort of looked at me in stunned disbelief, which was borderline what-kind-of-idiot-are-you and practically forced me to buy it.
I highly doubt any of you have ever heard of it before, but the online game Infantry is becoming free to play again! It used to be really popular with a large devoted following, and then Sony bought it and started charging a monthly subscription and nearly uninstalled it. It still kept a decent playerbase but nothing compared to what it was before. Not even remotely. Naturally, word spread and many, many people are already back and playing again which is impressive since the game is about 10 years old.
The new Linkin Park CD is absolutely incredible. I might be a little biased since some of the songs say almost perfectly what I've been thinking and feeling about the breakup (In Pieces, especially), but the entire CD's amazing and it's good to have them back. Speaking of her, it's to a point where I'm going to try and force myself to believe she never existed. All I want to do is forget about her and everything that happened and have started associating everything that reminds me of her with someone or something else. If she ever tries talking to me again, I'll act as though I don't even know who she is.
Annnnnnnnnd I just got my reply from Meg. She says she has to work on Thursday which is normally a day she has off, but that we'll work something out and that she could go out for a bit before she has to work if we can't find a better day. :D Also said she'll call me on her break if she can. Oh, I'm not sure if I've said before or not but me and her talked on the phone a little while ago for a long time while she was driving out to meet a friend of hers at IHOP at 2AM. lol I like her voice a lot and we get along well, so here's hoping something comes of it. She's already helped me reassociate tanning and salons and spas and things of that nature with her so I like her even more for that.
Now I'm wondering what we should do for the date. :| Dinner and a movie is so cliche. Hmmmmmm... If anyone has any original ideas that aren't terribly budget breaking, let me know! :D I'm thinking maybe Olive Garden and a walk around a lake at sunset or going up to this hill over St. Paul with a gorgeous view at night of the skyline and river. Or would that be too soon? It's definitely been a while since I've thought about any of this. I used to be so good at it, but at least Carrie has told me that my natural flirting is better than ever. It gets me into trouble more often than not, though. Mosquitoes! Lakes = mosquitoes. Maybe that's not such a good idea after all at sunset. Afternoon, maybe!
Hmm. What else what else what else. Oh! I had my resume looked over by Carrie's roommate Ron who's really cool and he helped tweak it a bit. I'll be making the changes tomorrow since I forgot my resume today, but after I buy a suit (with Carrie's help since she's very good with fashion and I'm sort of terrible with it), I'll be applying to Talent which is where Ron works and he highly recommends it and he gets treated VERY well there. Benefits, bonuses, great pay, the works! I'd love to wear a suit to work everyday. So prestigious and suits make the ladies swoon. Sort of.
I know you've all been very, very curious about what I've been doing on WoW, so I'll give you an update! I've decided to start playing my warrior regularly again, and lots of people on Garona have been sending me whispers asking me when I got back and where the hell I've been and if I want to join their arena teams or guilds. lol I think I might actually look into a couple of guilds I've heard good things about and see what their raid schedules are like. Until then, I've been doing Skyguard and Netherwing quests for the flying mounts. I wants them so badly. I still have to work on rep to get a Talbuk, too. And I have the money now to get an Elekk....
In other news, me and Amby are talking regularly again and even flirting again. I really didn't mean to come down so harshly on her, but when I write on here, I sort of write first and think second.
Megs and me are already talking about going down to Florida for spring break next March. lol I swear, when she moves out to Eagan, me and her are going to be best friends. She's such a great person and so much fun to be around and I can see us being friends for a really long time.
If any of you have music that you like a lot that you think I should download, PLEASE let me know! I'm always up for listening to new things and have been getting a lot of suggestions from friends lately and I've loved damn near all of them, and I listen to EVERYTHING so don't feel apprehensive about sharing what you like to listen to. Some music I listen to that would probably surprise a lot of people? Slayer, Nat King Cole, Savage Garden, Josh Groban, musical music (Les Mis, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods, and many others), and I even listen to country and oldies!
To a certain person with a particularly delicious userpic, when are you coming out here?! And I will so totally wreck your world at Guitar Hero, even if I have to come out there myself! <3 I think it'd be a lot of fun to go to a Packers/Vikings game together. Then again, only one of us would probably come out of it alive but I like those odds.
I'm feeling a lot better in every way possible so many, many thanks to everyone that's shown support and sincere empathy through everything I've been going through lately. You'll never know the extent of appreciation I have for what you've done for me and it never goes unnoticed or forgotten.
