Wait. What?
Lazy Candice is lazy. My last entry was a week and a half ago and plenty of fun and frustrating things have happened between now and then. So let's recap!
1a. Thursday night through Sunday morning I spent at The Boy's ranch out in West Texas. His ranch is maybe 30 minutes outside of Marathon, TX and an hour away from Big Bend National Park. For those of you who don't know that part of the country looks exactly like this:
We were maybe a 5 miles from the nearest neighbor I got literally no cell reception out there and. They did thankfully have satellite wireless (iPod Touch, I'll never regret buying you. NEVER) so I wasn't totally cut off, but man, it was peaceful.
Highlights of the trip include eating, drinking, sleeping, kicking The Boy's ass at Scrabble (twice) and finding a book I wanted to read. Lowlights of the trip include forgetting my wallet at the start of the trip necessitating an extra hour and a half trip to go back and get it, and getting another speeding ticket. FAIL. At least this time it was FINALLY just 10 miles over. Phew.
1b. I learned a lot of things about The Boy, his family and friends on this trip. They were all things that I liked for the most part. He was very understanding about my ticket, he was SO calm about the wallet detour, and he didn't pout when I decided to read for a bit instead of participating in a conversation that had little to do with me and a lot to do with people I don't know. We spent three days with nothing to do except look at each other and I didn't get tired of him.
IDK things are getting serious and I'm mostly thinking things like "KEEP CALM AND BE AFFECTIONATE" because one of the side effects of my relaxing into a relationship is I get more selfish and unaware. I'm not always a demonstrative person and my best relationships are with people that don't expect me to mind read. Not that he's necessarily expecting me to mind read but WHAT IF HE DID AND I MISSED A SIGNAL?
2. Last week it became apparent to me that I was the worst person about saving links to videos and stories so I made myself an embarrassing YouTube handle which has allowed me to make two skating playlists. One for Stephane Lambiel (11 vids) and one for Johnny Weir (9 vids). I have 45 videos saved and I feel like that's maybe only 25% of what I need to go back and find. How horrible to have to spend all this time watching skating. Heh.
3. OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME. STEPHANE FUCKING LAMBIEL IS FINALLY SKATING IN AMERICA AND I CAN'T GO. DID I MENTION JOHNNY WILL BE SKATING AT THE SAME SHOW? AND THAT THIS MAKES ME WANT TO EAT MY HEART OUT WITH A GODDAMN SPOON? ;_______;
Seriously this is the worst. I want to see Stephane skate so badly and I'm completely locked out. UGH.
4. I looked for jobs last night and it quite nearly made me cry. I usually hate job hunting but this time around it's just a whole other animal. I think it might be in part because of the current site I'm using to search listings. Everything was either for an Engineer or Sales Rep. A Pharmacy Tech listing came up and I wanted to sob because MAN WOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN NICE TO GET A USEFUL DEGREE?
It's like, I don't want to live to work, but I really don't want to be the receptionist a garage door installation business either. ::sigh:: I need instant independent wealth. Ugh, I have my yearly evaluation here at work tomorrow and I keep having hysterical thoughts about how I wish they would fire me. I don't even know why because it would send me into a spiral of panic, but I JUST SORT OF WISH THEY WOULD.
5. I miss my lovely fandom people. I'm sorry I've been away so much. Tell me how you are? I want to write and talk and love on people's faces. Don't be shy! Come talk at me!
