At last, some news from the front! Yes, I'm alive, fairly well, and as you might have guessed, a busy ass bastard. I've been working to no end, trying to pay for my financial weaknesses, and only succeeding moderately. I've determined that for the rest of the summer, I am no longer going to make large fivolous expenditures upon myself, I've totally spoiled myself anyways, two new guitars, a laptop, a decked out Xbox 360. I really don't need anything else for me. I'll by stuff for Jen, for friends, for trips, but nothing else, hopefully that'll plug the hole sinking my otherwise financially sound ship. Good news about that too, I have another roommate! Andrew will be moving in midway through August, I don't have really high expectations of him, but he will pay the rent, which is pretty much what I want him to do, and take up the other part of my lease, hes also a gamer, and a nighthawk, so I think we'll get along at least for a few months. Now that hes coming in, I need to find someone else to replace ashley. She apparently just got a job working full-time at the Timmy-hoes, but I doubt she'll last there, and besides, she still kind of annoys me generally, I don't know...if she picks up the slack and start doing her share, and paying it too, maybe I'll let it slide, but.....bah I'll worry about that a bit later.
So, my final big purchase of the year came in yesterday, in all its 12-string glory. If you think play 6 string accoustic hurts, I'd advise you to steer clear of a 12, its murder on the fingers, I'm still trying to work up bigger callouses so I can wail harder. I've been trying so hard lately to practice every day, I've even got exercises to try and increase my speed and dexterity, I don't know why, its not like I plan to do anything guitar related in life, I just love it so much, even the learning is fun lol.
Alright, I'm going to break my silence on a topic that has hardly graced the journal, because I think now its alright to speak of it. I've gone beyond dating, and Jen and I are a bit more serious, boyfriend/girlfriend if you will, although I hate feeling boxed in by such pithy labels. Still, I've been very happy, the highs aren't too high, and that lows aren't almost non-existant. Its already been a month and a bit, but I feel very comfortable with her, but excited at the same time. I feel like I can really be myself with her, which is so important. I don't really know how I fell into this, I wasn't really hunting for a commitment, but I've never been a casual kind of guy, I like to engage, get to know someone on a deeper level. We talk, I talk to her like I talk to almost no one else, including the ones that came before her, I feel like I'm not being judged, like she really listens and actually cares. I might be having delusions, but I hope not. And the sex is fantastic, more info that I'm sure any of you care for, but I'm not going to lie, I've miss this. Oh I got it plenty when I was seeing Steph, but....it just wasn't the same. And this girl blows MJ out of the water, I mean that girl was hot, but she was prim and proper and a total prude, I like girls that are more adventurous for sure. So yeah, Jenn floats my boat in all the ways that matter, so I hope she wants to stick around for a while, it'd be nice to have her along.
I think thats all I wanted to say for now. I'm sure there will be more later.
