so, it's Friday night. Friday night and i'm spending it at home, with mom and dad. Friday night with NOTHING to do. chats are dead, no movies, no cable, no cash. ugh... i am so FREAKIN' bored it's not even funny. lately i've really been feeling really trapped and bored and lonely. it sucks. i know a lot of you have been feeling the same way. maybe it's the holidays that are making me feel more disassociated than normal. i have no idea. i love our Christmas tree. it smells very nice and it's festive and it actually makes me feel a lot better when i see it.
so, i have a job interview on Monday with a staffing firm that's trying to get me a job as a game tester. i believe the company is Sony Computer Entertainment of America, or SCEA for short for you game geeks. moreso then the money and job, i need to get the fuck out of this house. like i said, i feel trapped and i need to socialize and not spend every waking moment of my life couped up in here or in the family room watching shitty non-cable. got my fingers crossed.
Brian emailed me on Thursday, and then i saw him Friday, which was yesterday. he told me he saw Return of the King at the Metreon as a guest of his brother-in-law. god, EA has the fucking most badass fringe benefits. we hung out and i did more modeling, though i should have been animating. i went over to the placement office and found one job that i figured i could do. then i drove home in the dark and the rain and the insane traffic.
today was a mix of good and bad. i met an old co-worker for breakfast at a reputable and delicious waffle house in town. i talked with her and her hubby about wrasslin' and just other nonsense, banter mostly. it was fun though and i had too much coffee that REALLY buzzed me. i had a Denver omlette and hashbrowns that were perfect. after that we wandered up the street and went into an antique store that they all frequent. i kinda wandered about aimlessly, glancing at this and that but mostly i was just blase about it all. if you know me at a store i'm not really interested in being in, i just kinda stick to the shopping person like a quiet, uninterested shadow until they're ready to leave. it was fun being around them though so that was a nice change. afterward, i walked back to my car and when i stepped off the sidewalk, i was paying attention to the traffic i was stepping into and not where my foot landed so i mildly sprained my anlke. ugh. and then to add insult to injury, i ended up having to drive on it right afterward. it's fun trying to drive straight while twisting in pain in your car seat.
the rest of the day was a wash. did nothing, bored as hell. i tried to get some animation work done but i just sat and stared at the interface for awhile and decided work was the LAST thing on my mind. so i fell asleep, that worked. but then i woke up to find, nothing to do. so, had some dinner, waited around and watched Angel, bemoaning the fact we no longer had any cable channels and then got online.
i really need to get that job.
