I don't like being around people, it makes me nervous and weird.
Wow, it's been exactly a month since I last posted. One might surmise, from this factoid, that I have been up to no good, or at least up until odd hours of the morning, having crazy party time. Sadly, this is not the case, unless "1:30-2:00 AM" counts as "odd hours of the morning", and "watching a regular lineup of late-night sitcoms and talk shows" counts as "having crazy party time". It shows just how incredibly fascinating my life is when I tell you that the most significant thing that happened to me in the past month was that my computer was declared comatose and I had to do massive brain surgery on it (i.e., wipe it clean and Restore Factory Settings, then put back all the stuff I lost). I would like to take this time to thank God, Allah, Shiva, Satan, all those guys for my external hard drive.
Oh yeah, I've been working, too. It's gotten pretty boring, since most of what I have to do is automated by Perl scripts, and I'm basically there to run them and panic when they don't work. So my day post-11ish is generally trying to find ways not to smash my head into the monitor out of boredom. Spending a lot of time at the Gorillaz Tiles game (which I will not link to this time, out of respect for the lives of the poor devils reading this). Also, on a Google Group. Don't ask. I even went to an internet tutorial site to learn basic HTML and CSS and such. At least I'm getting paid for pretty much what I'd be doing at home. If only I weren't addicted to Au Bon Pain Smoked Turkey Clubs, and there weren't two Au Bon Pains within 5 miuntes of the office.
My social life has consisted almost entirely of Law & Order: SVU marathons with Judith, and sometimes with Peggy. And one (so far) Summer in Sunnydale. Methinks TV may be consuming my life a bit too much.
I've had the house all to myself for two weeks, and for another 5 days or so. You know, I actually really enjoy it. When they hear that I'm all alone for weeks, people go "Oh man, that must be terrible." But you know what? I really enjoy it. For about 4 or 5 years, I've spent by far the majority of my time with myself (not all of it WITH myself, obviously (if you know what I mean)). I've come to be adjusted to just entertaining myself. Which is good when I am alone, because otherwise I'd keep fretting about finding someone to do something with. Of course, it's made me so socially incompetent that socializing with me is at best an utter bore (\boar) and at worst, extremely awkward and tedious. So that's fun. Hooray for prolonged isolation fucking up social skills! And hooray for fun TV shows acting as a stand-in for actual social interaction!
Oh, and I restarted Tae Kwon Do. It went well, until I actually started doing it. I somehow managed to pull a back muscle and it has been killing me for a week or so, and making it damn near impossible to do Tae Kwon Do, the very thing that would strengthen the muscle enough to make it better. Hell, I had to quit and go home halfway through class today, when I finally got myself to go there. Aren't vicious cycles fun, kids?!
I kind of want to go back to Franklin Park Zoo. Who wants to go with me? I can totally get you all-access backstage passes. I also need something to kill this mind-numbing boring.
