Hey, it's almost New Years!
time for a holiday update! Christmas with the fam was good. Carolyn came down from NY so we got to spend a few days together. I drank too much a couple of days. Gifts were a good haul:
- Complete car wash and buff kit, everything from a bucket to suds to wax.
- A slap-chop (different name, same concept). Used it tonight, worked pretty well!
- A toaster oven
- A GPS, which I gave back to my parents because I will not use it. Like, ever. Except tomorrow to find Eva's cousin's house, haha.
It was a pretty good haul! The last couple of days have been a regression of my "Play games all day" days. On the one hand it was fun - I played a lot of Oblivion, online games, and Rift's Beta (for research). At the same time I felt very unsatisfied with all of my time spent except for sleeping in. I loved that. I also got into a HUGE fight with Eva over facebook pics. She's upset that I didn't untag all the pics of mine with exes. "Why does it matter so much that you need to keep them tagged?" She asked, to which I countered, "Why do pictures from 1-5 years ago matter so much unless you're facebook stalking me?" (Which she said she has done, several times). We ended up compromising - I untagged a couple pics of me and Katie from after we broke up (although they were all platonic), and things are ok now. Really, being apart is what's upsetting her so much. It's upsetting me that she's upset. I feel like a fair-weather boyfriend - when she acts unreasonable like this, I just want to throw up my hands and say "Grow up! No one in their right mind obsesses like this. Get over it!" It's not a fun time. But things are good now and tomorrow we're meeting up at her cousin's for a New Year's party!
So, what about resolutions? I have a few:
1. Sell my car. This is kinda the big one because it's worth like $3000-3500 that is currently not in my bank account.
2. No alcohol for a whole year. This is two-fold. One, when I drink I drink too much. almost without exception (my shift key doesn't work well on this keyboard, so pardon uncapitalized words). I make a fool of myself and bad things tend to happen. Over Christmas I slipped getting out of the shower and broke a towel rack straight out the wall. It was pretty terrible. So the first reason is because of my terrible drinking habits which have gotten worse and worse over this last year. The second reason is to get into shape. When I drink, I eat a lot more. And as I'm as big now as I was in college, I want to lose weight. Cutting out alcohol will help for sure!
3. Join a club. Specifically I was looking into martial arts lessons. A local studio has karate lessons 3 days a week for $50 a month. That seems pretty darn good to me! Not only would it get me in shape, it would introduce a bit more discipline into my life. Something I really need!
So that's all for now. My last free night tonight and I'm thinking of going to sleep early to prepare for tomorrow. We shall see! Ciao!
