too hot
so, i'm in portland, oregon. note that i only use the full name of the state because i'm not sure what the two letter abbreviation is. OR? i would like that, because then i could say, "i went to portland, OR did i just imagine it?"
why am i in oregon? i tried to walk to the corner drug store, but apparently i missed it and walked a few hundred miles too far. oh well.
i knew you wouldn't buy it. bryan is speaking (or rather, already spoke) at a panel at a techy web convention, it's called web visions. it was a design panel. he was cute in it. ♥
i am, of course, sitting in the hotel room. :] i guess i really am a loner, i chose to be here. well, it was either that or attend panels that i have no interest in. i dunno, the first convention i ever attended was anime expo, i believe, an after that it was japan expo, and after that anime boston. so conventions that surround such professional business-minded people accompanied by business-revenue-how-to-make-money-by-blogging-and-not-actually-do-anything-fun-like-contests-and-cosplay kinda talk just doesn't catch my attention. not that i regret coming (unlike the last one), it's been pleasant. it was nice to get to know yet another state (this is my first time visiting a state on the west coast, other than california. we would have tried to visit seattle real quick if we were able to get a rental car!), and be able to be with bryan. i came to accompany and support bryan (and sported his t-shirt) for his first time being a panelist, which also keeps me from getting lonely. i get very lonely when he's gone. :/ but he said he was glad i came, so yay. ^^
even though i'm alone in the hotel room a lot, it's not the same as being at home alone waiting for him to come back from another state. i know he's not far and that he's having a good time, and that i'll see him tonight. :]
i wonder if i have anything else to say? er..oh yeah! bryan and i have been trying to get into the good habit of working out every day! :D past attempts have failed, i know, but this one's working out okay so far. i had an epiphany. i'm never going to enjoy wearing the hell out of my self until i'm gross and sweaty, so i can't wait for me to have the motivation to get up from what i'm doing and exercise. i enjoy being a lazy bum too much. and with bryan, he can get spurts of energy sometimes, but it's not constant. it's hard to pry him off the computer (or the occasional video game) once he's on. so the plan is to deny ourselves access to things that keep us lazy (internet, tv, or anything we find fun) until we have gone down to our gym and worked out for a while, that way i have no choice! then we can come back and shower (which gets us ready for anything else we need to do that day, also an anti-lazy tactic), and get back to whatever else we wanted to do.
it definitely suits our lifestyle. we're not gonna sit around staring at the wall, so we pretty much get up and go to the gym just to get over with. it's not full proof, because when he have an appointment or somewhere else we need to go in the morning, we don't have time. but we do go almost every day, and i hope we get back into it once we get back (although we did go to the hotel gym once so far). so let's see how it works out, at least until i start school again. ^^;;
and more exciting news (for me), i'm gonna get a tattoo!!!! finally!! i've wanted to for a long time, but my parents wouldn't have it until i was 18. however, i moved in with bryan when i was 17 and later found out he didn't want me to get a tattoo, so i wasn't able to. we've had many, many discussions about it since but it always ended the same, with him saying i can do whatever i want, but he obviously still didn't want me to get one, and me feeling to guilty if i were to get one with him being so upset about it. but then, few weeks ago, he told me over breakfast that for my 21st birthday his gift to me would be getting me a tattoo! ♥ ♥ screw roses, that was a really romantic surprise to me. ^___^
well, that won't be until february rolls back around, but i'm really looking forward to it. and there'll be vegas with bryan...if it won't be my best birthday yet, it will certainly be close! ^^
alright, that's my random ramble. now i can say i haven't been neglecting this journal. lol.
p.s. i love it when i make no spelling errors on my first try.
