I am officially back in Bellevue. It is weird seeing people I recognize from junior high and wondering if they recognize me now. Alot of times it makes for a few awkward seconds in passing. However, it's really nice being able to walk to get my errands done. Especially considering I've been without a working car for two months. Seems slightly more ghetto here, but I feel safe and comfortable where we are. Our new apartment is exactly the same as our previous one in terms of layout. But the kitchen and bathroom are in better shape and bigger at this apartment.
Without regular transportation, and as busy as I've been, I've been feeling so alone and trapped at times. Also, I'm really missing all my females friends recently. Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Texas, and South Carolina, that's where all my girls chose to move - really??? I mean, if they were just away at school and home on the weekends, or like a 2-3 hour drive so we could visit it would be nice. Instead everyone chooses to move to the most far away f'in place. I should just call them when I need to talk or am feeling bored, but I hate talking on the phone. I hate texting more, so that doesn't work. I like face to face with people, otherwise I communicate through email - but most of them don't seem to do that.
Anyway, the crowd of people I've been hanging out with (my mutual friends with Max mostly) are not the most dependable people in terms of hanging out regularly. They only want to sit around and play warcraft or xbox and huff out. Now, I'm not judging I know thats a great time, but for sometimes, not every day. I like to get out and experience things, go to museaums and movies and cool stuff around the city. However, everyone we know who liked to do that sort of thing always wants to go out to the bar. Once again, I know that's a great time for some - but I'm just not that into it. Every once in a while I like to go out to the bar and watch a pens game, or go out for special stuff and get wrecked. But overall, the bar is smokey, filled with the kind of people I don't like being around at school, so why would I pay too much money for drinks to be around a pool of single bimbos and testosterone filled jag offs. They have no interest in a person like me, and I have none them. I have great friends I love to death that like the bar, but for me that's like a once a month thing. Not only can I not afford it, but I don't believe in drinking and driving so either me or max usually have to be sober - which isn't fun when you are trying to go out as a couple. Its tricky.
So after thinking about all this for a while I realized that I should try to connect with people who I used to have a connection with and see if some of our interests are alike. I won't be in school this summer and most likely I will have a daytime job, so my evenings are going to be pretty empty. Lydia and I plan on doing yoga one or two nights a week, and I definitely want to do some kind of aerobic or cardio one day as well. I'd like to go bowling again - I love it. Also, I want to go to some shows and concerts this summer. Farmers markets, garage sales, fleemarkets etc. when I get some money. Board games would be awesome too. Or binge drinking on Thursday nights and watching NBC shows.
This is my plan. You are invited to my plan.
