A myriad of updates
Right - so I've been debating whether or not to put a profile up somewhere or another to attempt to find something. A date, a friend. Something more than I've got now. The idea of that frightens me a lot. Or rather, makes me very uncomfortable. While I don't have anything really negative to say about the concept of internet dating in general - it just has never seemed like something I would really want to do.
But a question that Bill, Dave and I keep returning to is outside of college, how do you really find people to date? It is of course compounded by our reluctantly social natures. And now, I'm kind of feeling like I'm growing up. And moving out of the need to have a crush stage of my life. Which I suppose is healthy, but I'm lost. I have no idea what to do. And of course I have friends like J&J in LA and Rachel who make having boys around look easy.
So I'm not sure what I'm to do here. I have to weigh the decision some more.
====================
The above is Michael Angarano, lead actor of Sky High - which I bought tonight and watched. Good and fun film. Totally up my alley. As is the aforementioned Mr. Angarano who is very hot and very legal. You're on notice, J&J, kidnap him at first sight.
The other movie I saw last night was Narnia which was very good. Everything I remember about the book and loved. At the end of it though I didn't walk out as hyped as I had hoped. I walked out satisfied but not creatively energized. Its a weird sort of letdown. Especially since I don't know *why* I wasn't energized - thinking back it seemed to fit the bill for such things pretty well. Oh well.
====================
So I've been in a lull with my story after the rush that was the first part of november. I've picked at it some since then - though not significantly - and been thinking about it a lot. Almost to the point where I kind of want to write weird fan-fic about it. Or maybe thats not entirely accurate. I've been thinking about creating a fictional blog and writing from the characters perspective in there to try and gain some more insight in their characters. I probably won't - I'll just do it in a seperate word doc or something - which will means it will take longer, but hell - I got till next november to finish this one up. Need to try to do it sooner though.
However, recent creative energy has been put into painting miniatures and I hit a home-run yesterday. I rocked the house. I was utterly triumphant in creating the best painted miniature I ever have to date. I'm very proud of him. I'll try to get pictures up if I ever learn how to take a picture of a miniature. I'm pretty bad.
====================
Work has been utterly unfulfilling recently. Filled with generic apathy and annoyance, the days have been dragging. Of course this is in the midst of just about everything seeming to work correctly for once. We have a couple new hires here in the States that are working out fantastically. We've recently got rid of some baggage that was holding us back. And now the production guy who was in the UK is visiting for a couple weeks. So its nice to see him again since he's one of the few Seattlites left with the company, and his contract (and employment) is up in a few months.
Overall - still want to get out when I can, but for now I'm here and thats that. I guess.
Straylight Run - The Tension and The Terror
all the boys voices cracking
oh, the moaning half tones
come summertime, we're all the same age here
all the tension and the terror
thin limbed gorgeous green eyes smiling
and i'm going straight to hell
all the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
and i try but i'm not convincing
your lips, they pout and twist
and i die trying just to keep myself from kissing you.
you take in everything with a certainty i envy
it's somehow all i need
just keep me guessing please
darling, all of these awkwardjumpstartstalling conversations
mean much more to me than anything
it comes down to me and you
and whether we're supposed to or not, we still will
we're so much better off than them
all the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily...
a look
a laugh
a smile
a second passes by and i regret it
words just aren't right
sometimes i just can't explain
all the ways you devastate me
always on my mind
