Life type stuff

Sep 17, 2009 18:04

Good afternoon all,

So a few things goin on in my life right now.

-Some work related drama where my company through me under the bus.  I really like my job and the people I work with, but feel like it is going to be long time until i can trust the people WAY above me again.  I am not someone that takes things too personally, but what they did to me was wrong.

-not reading as much lately, since I have not had things I just WANT to read.  Although I did finish reading the book for the game Mutant City Blues, and am going to finish reading Mouse Guard.  I did finish Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson and will have a review of that tonight.

-It has now been 7 months since me and my ex broke up.  Seems like so much longer.  I hope she is doing ok, and i plan on contacting her to see how she is.  Not sure how receptive she will be to me, but that is ok.

-My book club is coming up on its 5 year anniversary, this December.  We are trying to think of fun things to go in NYC area.  If you can think of anything that "pops" let me know.

-Here is how you know that the dating world has changed because of online/phone type things.  I met someone last week and we have been talking since then via chatting/text/phone.  It dawned on me last night as I called her and was leaving her a message, that I had not ONE TIME said her actual name to her.  Only me, but to be fair she had not done the same.  It was a very funny moment.

-Also I am from the South (via Oklahoma) and dating etiquette is different there.  Another funny thing is that in the six years that i have lived in NYC, and Astoria primarily, I have not dated anyone outside of my neighborhood.  So, when I was planning a date this weekend, I was a bit confused about whether I was supposed to pick her up still, and obviously take her home at the end of the date.  I know what etiquette dictates, but it still made me stop and wonder if there was an aspect of this I was missing.  She laughed about as well, so it is all good.

-I really want to start writing again.  It has been about a year since I have done much of that.  Lord knows our game design isn't really going anywhere, although I hope for that to change soon.  But I am just not having that creative outlet I enjoy having.  Need to get off my ass and get into something.

That is all for now.  :)
