I tend to forget about things. Lots of things. And then I come back to them months later and go "oh yeah" as if the thought of forgetting them was a foreign idea to me. But, such is the problem with my lovely little live journal here. I have updated in months (we're borderline going on years in Internet time) and, even though I log into live journal daily, the thought of updating this bad-boy never crossed my mind. There it is. The truth. I just didn't feel like it.
My last entry was in March (I honestly just looked it up because I didn't remember) when I was having boy drama. It's since subsided, and we still work together. We're not awkward as much any more but since we both harbor really deep secrets about one another we do each other favors. It's like our own way of saying "you're not telling anyone so you're being rewarded with this little act of kindness". To be honest, I'm more on the receiving end of this than I am on the delivering. However, this is becoming slightly more noticeable seeing as when I want something done he's here practically instantaneously but if my co-worker (who actually works in the same office as me) asks for it this dear boy takes his sweet-ass time. Fantastic. However, I'm glad we still talk. For a while there we stopped talking altogether and I missed having mindless chats with him. So, yay. I guess. There are other issues that arose between then and now but for the most part we are golden.
In other news, summer is a fantastic season. I love it. I love being outside, I love the warm weather, I love the fact that my car doesn't break down and then I'm stuck in frigid temperatures sans functioning vehicle. But problems like that should occur no more as I bought a new car. Brand spanking new, 2009 Toyota Yaris in red. I love it dearly. I've named it Eugene. That's right, a geeky name for my awesome car. I love it, I'm glad I bought it, and I'm hoping I will be able to enjoy it for years to come. My 1997 Ford Taurus gave many good road trips, it lived a long and eventful life and I will never forget it. We shared the good times and the bad but it was time to move on. And we parted ways and carried on. I'm sure now it will be salvaged for parts or sold at auction or something similar. Many good years, my friend, many good years. May you live long and prosper. (I cannot believe I just quoted that.)
Lollapalooza is right around the corner and I have a three day pass. Additionally, first real road trip for me and Eugene. Sure, driving around the state counts but I decided it didn't so what up Chicago! Three days of non-stop concerts are going to be awesome. I'm thrilled, I'm excited and I'm an alchie and have a booze fund. (I so wish I was kidding.) So many bands to see! I hope I get to see all the ones I was hoping for. It's going to be great. Awesome. Fantastic. I wish I could truly express how excited I am right now.
I'm also super excited about The Rock Boat this January. First time I get to see a palm tree, first time in Florida, first time on a cruise...so many firsts! It'll be great. Warm temperatures, the high seas (bear with me), and concerts. It's like an all-inclusive (sans booze) awesome package. Post Lollapalooza I'm creating an additional booze fund. My priorities are in the right places, don't judge me. No but really, it'll be great. Also, it will be a nice way to break up the frigid temperatures of Wisconsin in winter. I consider it a win-win.
Weddings galore this fine summer. It still strikes me as odd that people my age are getting married. I understand that this is relatively common (and by relatively I mean very) and that I shouldn't feel so strange about it but I don't see marriage in my future. I don't mean this as a negative statement, I'm not searching for pity or anything, I just really don't believe in that kind of love. Maybe, when I find that person I'll feel differently but as of right now seeing my friends and co-workers getting married is weird to me. I'm insanely happy for each and every one of them and I have no problems sending my blessings but I still find it weird. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way. That being said, I enjoy going to weddings and the weddings that I've gone to this year (this season won't be over until September for me) and I wish all of the couples the best.
I have naught much else to share. I should probably post some photos soon. Or maybe something a bit more frequently than what I'm rocking right now. Either way, to whomever reads this, I hope this finds you well and that you're enjoying the rest of your summer (unless you're in the Southern hemisphere where I hope you're enjoying the rest of your winter).
