(no subject)
Life marches on and, really, all is well. Since Christmas I have matched my ps3 with a lovely hdtv so now I can read the text on videogames. I realize that might be a poor excuse but it is the only one I have.
I feel less scared of such purchases as my job continues to be alarmingly decent. It isn't perfect; all the sales vs tech conflicts of persona exist that seem to be everywhere... but simply knowing I'm in a company that cares about what it is doing and cares enough to have plans makes me feel comfortable. My #1 reason for not being independent is not wanting to run a business so I love when someone else will not only do so but do so well.
Things with the girl continue to be decent. We've moved onto the next stage of our relationship... the one where I do her taxes. Someday it'll be explained to me why "next stage" gets more and more boring with time. I mean... there was friendship... then dating... then make-outs.. then cohabitation... then taxes?
Lots of people in the group are getting married and I still don't understand it. I watch the girls put themselves under stress on things that shouldn't matter... the guys under stress about money... I don't get it. Why do people insist on ruining their lives for something like a year in honor of something that is supposed to be a happy occasion? Why does planning a gala (something very few are qualified to do) seem something people insist on doing, regardless of inexperience? Perhaps it is just my not-quite-sunny disposition but I've never felt this life so fabulous I have to go looking for ways to piss myself off; that comes naturally. For some reason, however, this sentiment is not appreciated by the involved parties. Go figure.
My character is level 78 in wow. I am excited for 80... especially since the girl got there first. Damn my love of story over progression... slows everything down.
