I'm going to throw together the weekend and a couple random thoughts into this one:
the 4th was not too bad, even though I wasn't able to hit it up with Razerz and Gekko. Me, Zach and Veo went to see the fireworks at a local park, which were alright. Nothing much else for that day. The 5th, I went to Veo's again to eat some BBQ kabobs and later shopped for some discount fireworks. I didn't shoot any off though, so I have a small amount of explosives stocked up for whenever I feel the need to blow shit up. Later that night I got randomly invited to a party by a co-worker. It was pretty cool, met a few new people (one of them recognized me from the internet) and generally had a good time. Got some good sleep and on sunday nothing worth mentioning happened.
Guys, you really have to give a good handshake if you want to make a good impression on people. I'm serious, the handshake is one of the first things people are going to experience with you and you're probably not going to get a second chance at it. How often do you shake someone's hand after you've already been established as acquaintances? You really have to put some feeling into it, none of that limp wrist bullshit. Grab the other person's hand firmly and give it a good shake. Some people might not notice a weak handshake, but everyone will see a good one when you can give it, and that will only put you a step ahead of everyone else.
I think that when I'm done with school I want to move east. I'm not sure what sounds so appealing about it, but I know I want to get out of Missouri at the very least.
oh, and to whom it may concern, I'm finally getting around to making those little dancing characters I promised a year ago. I might do one or two more for random people if I'm not tearing my hair out after the ones I promised.
I thought there was something else, but it's not coming to me right now. I'm off to play IIDX.
edit: oh yeah, Penny-arcade, what the hell are you doing? Paint the line isn't funny or entertaining at all. There better be a massive, throbbing punchline oozing all over the end of whatever the hell you've come up with.
