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. :)
