weirdness
the strangest thing has happened since i have moved...and i don't really think it is directly related to the move...but...
(drumroll please)
i now appear to have a social life.
huh? how did that happen?
and i'm soooo single. (more single today than i was yesterday, due to some recent events)
and i'm ok with that. i shouldn't hold on to things for the wrong reasons, but it's up to debate what reasons are right and which are wrong. but that's another story!
i think the libido is taking a nose dive for some reason right now.
i'm just not interested in pursuing anything...or more appropriately, not excited about it.
maybe that is my pre-menstrual hormones talking. who knows.
anyway, now when i talk to a friend and one of us says "hey, let's get together this week" and then we start to decide when...lately i only have 1 or 2 free evenings in the whole week! so i'm like, "hmmm, wednesday evening, ooooooor, saturday afternoon...that's all i've got", it used to be "uh, any day will work, i have nothing going on".
weird.
but, annoyingly, several friends keep making plans in advance, and then waiting until the day we are supposed meet to cancel! WTF?!?! (there are 2 specific ones that i practically expect to cancel every time...why do they bother?! but those same 2 people keep pursuing the idea of getting together and making plans) that is my new pet peeve. yes. not cool. it's still nice to think i have plans i guess. and actually, half the time, i'm relieved to be able to spend the time at home on my own and get stuff done.
i was worried about being incredibly lonely in my apartment by myself. but so far when i've been alone, it has been ok. good even. right now i'm so busy with arranging my apartment and unpacking all my crap that i don't even think about the fact that i'm alone. and of course i've got my little pup Gigi to keep me company. she's a good listener...looks me in the eye and really pretends to know what i'm saying...even when she knocks over the trash and gets in trouble. :p
last night lindsay and i had mucho fun. i had to fill her in on all my recent stories and events during the, oh, 4 days we hadn't seen eachother. weird how so many things happen to talk about... so i talked a mile a minute. she showed me the glory that is the container store. She popped my container store cherry! (HA! i'm such a dork...i got that from queer eye for the straight guy)
there i got some chrome-looking hooks to stick to my doors.
then we went to target. and i got lots of cool random things and only spent $40!!!
i got
-a little girly tool set (no tool box, but the set has cool aquamarine/blue handles)
-a little black fan for the kitchen (since it gets stuffy in there)
-a red rug for the kitchen
-2 potholders
-2 power strips (as there are only 2 outlets in my living room and bedroom, which are rather big rooms, yet there are also 2 in the bathroom???)
-3 extension cords
-nails (for hanging up my pictures and such, not Lee press-ons)
hmm, i think that's it.
I also found a cool wrought iron bistro table and chair set that i think i wanna get for my balcony. 2 chairs and table are only $60 total. that's the best price i've seen so far...and they were made well as far as i could tell.
anyway, i think today is going to be strange. i just have a feeling.
