Miss me? Yeah, right.
Well, haven't posted much because things have more or less been the same shades of mediocre for a while. I spend a lot of time with various combinations of being angry, lonely, horny and depressed. I am also going thru some fucked-up conflicting emotions about people with animal nicknames.
The NERO weekend in Seattle was fun. It started off really rough, but conversations were had. Very important conversations, the outcome of which make me feel hopeful for the future of friendships. Conversations that made the trip worth it. Conversees know they are. Special thanks to Jesusforaday for listening when I really needed it. Sorry, haven't figured out how to do the sassy link thing in LJ.
Work? I hate my job. Been there 5 weeks and I despise it. Part of it is the co-workers, part of it is the clientelle. A lot of it is the shitty, goddamn, soul-eating hours. I think I whisper to myself "I hate this fucking job!" at least once an hour. I hope none of my bosses are lip readers. Ironically, tonight, Lorna, one of the card dealers, suggested to me that I become a dealer and offered to help teach me. I told her I'd think about it, and she replied its not so bad, and what other prospects do I have. Frankly, right now, my prospects are weak. I might give it a whirl. I figure if Lorna thinks I've ot the potential and is willing to take time to help, then I should listen. She's been dealing cards in this place for 30 years. ( !!! ) For those playing the home game, that's my entire lifespan. She might know a thing or two about what it takes.
Social life? Hmm, none to speak of. This is partially a side effect of my job. When all my friends are getting off work I am starting, when I am getting home they are all asleep and when I go to bed they are getting up. I get to see Mike each night, and Alex every few days. I have some nights free to game, but gaming isn't socializing. I need opportunities to be around people... real people, not their characters. Better yet, I need some quality time with someone of the species: 'female', subspecies: 'attractive', class: 'consenting'.
Vamp larp seems cool. Good job on the first night to tedbobdaveloriandrobert. I guess I need to put some work into my character now.
Lastly, for my readers who are excite@home alumni, especially the @work division, I thought I'd pass this on. Remember Jeremy Dudley Rock? Well, he is now a proud papa. Charles Kenneth Rock was born 2/13/02, and judging by the first pics, he should grow up to be better looking than his father.
There, I ended this on a happy note.
