Too Long, Did Not Listen.
I’m trying to think of ways to quickly sum up what has happened over break thus far. I spent the first half of it solely with my family. Janey and I went to see Princess and the Frog, which was great and made us happy to be Cajun (note: the fact there was Tabasco on every table is entirely accurate). My parents, as always, managed to make Christmas great. I got the pink pony I asked for.
^I am fulfilled.
Janey and I are in a mutual exchange: she is helping me learn guitar and orchid care and I’m teaching her how to play Magic and taking her out for sushi. I guess I should mention that: I have discovered that sushi is the equivalent of crack to my 13-year-old sister. We’ve gone to get some at a local Thai and Sushi restaurant (which makes no sense, but tastes delicious) twice in less than 24 hours.
I’ve also been seeing a massive number of movies. My parents Netflixed District 9 and bought Janey Coraline. As I mentioned before, Janey and I saw Princess and the Frog but in addition to that we saw Avatar in 3D today (my second time to see it). I also saw Sherlock Holmes with Max and Andre yesterday. I’ve officially seen everything I care about seeing thanks to *mostly* other people’s money.
^ /f you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT NOW. And for God's sake, see it in 3D.
I've seen it both ways, and yes, it does make a difference.
Speaking of Max, he was gone for the first part of break and informed me after two days via text that he wanted to go back home to Knoxville. Later he told me it was times like these that showed him the things he took for granted. I’m assuming at worst he is merely referring to my cooking. Even at worst I feel loved.
We went to the IB reunion two nights ago. Yet another person was engaged, more people hate the opposite sex or have become more Christian than ever. We were, as is predictable, asked if we were engaged since we are living together. I showed my hands since there is no ring, Max shrugged. They did not seem satisfied, so I told them we are swingers and Max agreed, which ended the conversation. It’s fun making people think we’re kinkier than we are, when in fact we’re really just two goofy, over-weight white kids with a lot of free time on our hands.
I’m trying to think if I’ve forgotten anything… I’m a little tipsy so I know this is rambling. Let’s see… I got promoted. Somehow I failed to have mentioned that at any point. I am now a Lab Manager, with a decent, permanent pay and time increase. Max is coming over tomorrow to bum here for New Years, which is lame but we’re lame so it’s ok. We’re heading back to Knoxville the morning of the 2nd so we can be back in time to pay rent.
Oh. Mouth-Breathing-Nerds. Almost forgot to mention them. I convinced myself to go play another tournament here (not at OP), and it was pretty much a shitty experience. I was the only thing with a vagina for miles (expected) and all the men avoided me like I was a leper (unexpected). After playing the tournament for nearly four hours, losing all but one game and only being ¼ through the damn thing I decided to leave and just take the drop on my record. I would have stayed if it weren’t for the fact that Forrest Gump’s rude and nasty cousin kept following me around and trying to hit on me while simultaneously bashing psychology and my Magic Deck. I had to leave before my PMS and blind rage caused by losing so many games got the better of me and made me go Gambit on his ass.
That’s about it for my rambling. Doubt anyone will read all of this. “Too long, did not listen.”
