that's february for ya
I think that, in the last month, at least a third of my friends have either started a new relationship if they were single previously, or ended one, if they were in a relationship. That is my honest estimate, so if you are the type who adjusts numbers to fit with reality instead of listening to people's exaggerations, just pretend I said 50%.
I ran into my ex-girlfriend at the Sunset last night, where I had gone to join in my friend's birthday celebrations. I am sorta amazed this is the first time I have seen her since the summer of 2004, as she apparently lives about a mile away, and we had at least some overlap in music interests. The events leading to running into her there were very similar to how I ended up meeting her, so, that was kinda weird. She seemed healthy and happy, and I bought a cd from the band her friend plays in, as I had to leave before they played; that birthday cake wasn't going to eat itself, I guess.
I've been spending at least a couple hours a day trying to learn guitar, lately. A week or two ago, I leveled and dressed the frets, lowered the nut, and set the intonation of the guitar I built years ago, which made a huge difference in playability. I grew up thinking that playing guitar was nearly impossible, as my dad had a couple guitars in the house, both of which had issues that made them pretty much non-functional, but as no one in the house played, it took me until I was fairly old to actually figure that out. It remains to be seen how proficient I can become, but I am starting to feel it coming to me a little more, at least more than previously. I'd like to have something to show for this time off.
