(no subject)
Today, I hung out with Clare and Britt (my two best friends from high school), and we went to the wildlife park out in Shubenacadie. Since work stuff screwed me over financially, I actually had no money. Britt and Clare paid for me (food and entrance), the agreement being that when Christmas rolls around (or earlier, in Clare's case, since she lives and goes to school near my new location), that I will be the one treating. Seems fair to me. Britt had a blast looking at the ducks, Clare ooh-ed and aah-ed at the swans, and all three of us rather enjoyed the peacocks they let roam around loose. I had more fun with the peacocks than the other two, since I was being jerkish in the nicest way and was constantly pulling Padaleckis towards them, never actually scaring them. It felt good to be the three of us once again. While the hyper factor is not there anymore, the laughs were still there, even though I can count on two hands how many times we've all gotten together since graduation.
In other news, my break-up fueled guitar playing binge has alot more fuel to the fire when I found out that my most recent ex starting into a new relationship the day after he broke up with me. They've since broken up, but his new boyfriend also happened to be my best guy friend at my old store. And to give an example of how out of control the drama is at that place, a crew told one of my trusted manager friends there that she had called me and told me about Kyle and Joe. How I found out was piecing together things Joe had said to me while we were together, and the fact that both him and Kyle had vaguely worded mushy Facebook statuses at the exact same time. I would not be this angry if he had come out and said that Kyle was a factor, since that feels far more honest than "instability".
As a result, my bar chords are actually starting to sound like proper chords, which is quite a feat considering I have small hands and the neck on my classical guitar is really wide. I'm actually thinking of getting a new guitar, that not only sounds nice, but is a better fit to me. The one I'm using now is an old hand-me-down, but what can I say, it was free.
Otherwise, I'm currently stalled on the Trek watching, I've not eaten a meal at work for over a week (and counting), and seem to be kicking the slight case of blues I had before. Or at least I'm more energetic, even if it's still a little on the angsty side.
