Where should I begin?
• Where should I begin?
A lot has happened in the past few days...
I went to the mall and found a GAMES WORKSHOP Store.
Wow; just wow... I haven't seen an official Games Workshop store since I went to Vancouver, Canada. There a paints, models, film quality miniatures. I can go there to meet other nerds and have already used it to ask some advise as to where I can go to find other nerds. They are the makers of Warhammer 40K.
I moved into my apartment.
My room-mates are awesome. I feel like I have known them for years. We all have a similar sense of humor and, what could be better, we are all nerds.
Roger: Him and I both have a similar sense of humor. He thinks my humor is refreshing. He is a geek, he loves console games and is a part-time-Christian like me (we both hope to change that). We agree on many life lessons, and how women should be approached. We get along well.
Jacob: Poor guy had was in town for twenty-four hours and had his car stolen. Since he was coming from NY, it has everything he owned in it. His disposition will probably change soon. However, it is kinda funny. And as long has he keeps using the pity-card (hey, it works,we got free shots at the bar), I will keep flipping him shit for it.
I went down-town to a club called the library.
There are a lot of nice looking girls there. It is a themed sports bar, at the library all the girls are dressed like school-girls. This was nominally appealing, but I was more interested in the Rose Bowl. I don't even like foot ball. Roger, my room-mate, has standards and sensibility; like me. There is no use staring at something you can't have; and if you could you wouldn't want it. Jacob, my other room-mate, is desperate and on an -understandable- pity trip because he has his car stolen within 24 hours of being here in Phoenix. I kept my ears open, and realized that the bar-wench was a single mother, who had only been -clean- for months.
Stay away from whores and single moms (i use the terms in mutual exclusiveness).
I went to new student orientation.
I met some new students, and faculty. Also a cute girl named Anna. She has a boy-friend who is also going here to UAT. They both seem pretty neat (neat?), we hope to hang out with them sometime soon.
I am meeting with an academic adviser to get my graduation-road-map locked down as soon as possible.
I am going to be ruthless, and aggressive in pursuing my education. This is a competition. We are all equal coming out of the gate, now it is my turn to not get distracted, and come out on top. To prove I am dedicated, and better than them all. This is not arrogance, this is decision. I will not let myself fail.
I have been working on PROJECT: ID more often. I will soon be posting on the forums again.
After having seen Firefly, and played EVE, I am working on some new dynamics that will take ID into space. I am doing research on the types of governments that have erupted throughout history. There will be several, diverse, regions of space, and they will have a myriad of ruling governments. I also, almost, have the origin story outlined, it will be time to write it soon.
I have been learning more about the laws and complications of living in the Tempe Arizona area.
They will arrest you for anything down here. They have NO tolerance for anything. Tempe is a HUGE college town, also full of mid-sized clean-industry. They do not tolerate DUI drivers at all, and the tolerable Blood-Alcohol level is 0.08.
They can, and have, arrested people for riding their bike at night without a headlight.
Also, it is not a myth, but the first stage of your arrest is detainment in Tent-City. They put you in a neon pink jump-suite in the desert.
Don't piss them off.
I purchased an AM/FM radio on the trip.
I don't have an i-Pod. I can't pod-cast anything. But I found the Talk-Radio station I like. I found the FOX-news station; it is the first station at the beginning of the dial. This lets me listen to Rush, Hanedy, O'riley, and Coast-to-coast-AM. It portable, has a speaker or headphone switch, comes with ear-buds, and is smaller than an i-Pod; for some reasons it gets better signal than my Alarm-Clock does.
Odd Dreams.
I have been dreaming a lot about Anna. Not to mention I have met two other girls, who were awesome, named Anna since I have been here.
My dreams are odd, yet lend lot of information and an understanding of what happened as only my sub-conscious can understand.
In my first dream there was a yard-sale. It was at the house next to hers, and she told me how she hated my dad. How she hated his values, his cheery disposition, and Christian nature. I don't -really- think she hates him, but I do think she is bitter and venomous of the fact that I am trying to better myself. She got a glimpse of my faith, and it frightened her. She is a self proclaimed Pagan. There is nothing -necessarily- wrong with that, but she never told me what -she- believes as a result of that.
In my second dream of her I ran into her in a large store. At times it was very much like Walmart, and at times it was like an Albertsons. I was there first and then her an her new boyfriend was there. They avoided me while doing their shopping, yet when they were done tried to have me arrested for having violated the protection order that is still in place. The charges were dropped, but it was still a stressful dream.
I have to say that she does not dominate my thoughts often during the day; certainly less than past girlfriends. The heartache is there, but I am not heart-broken-. She was right, I will move on. But for someone to have treaded me that way; I am better off without her. She was a leech, and weighed me down. I can do better. And I will.
