Dreaming of Mercy Street.
I think it's time to retire you, old livejournal. I just don't have anything to say here anymore, and no one is listening anyhow.
Nothing official just...not gonna really post very often. Life is sweet and the weather is pleasant finally. This calls for doing more interesting things. Since there's nothing more interesting EXACTLY at this moment while I wait for the dishwasher to be done, a little overview of.....................life in general ish.
School is going OK. I'm feeling not as bad about not doing well in my last drafting class. I am still disappointed in myself because I know exactly where I went wrong, but I wasn't the only one. Normally, I don't really like to compare myself to others who are worse off than me in order to feel better. I have always been uncomfortable with those thoughts and they don't really work. I much prefer to compare myself to people who I admire and strive to be more like them in any way I can. That can be depressing, but at least it doesn't make me feel like an asshole. Anyway, the point is, I am now going to compare myself to people who are worse off than me in order to feel better. Not really like "well at least I'm not THAT guy" but more in the vein of "no one is perfect and I sure as hell am not, but at least I'm doing ok." I think that's working for me right now.
The current class I am taking is boring as fuck, so hopefully I can maintain interest. The subject matter (history) is one I am very interested in, it's just the presentation that I don't like. Yesterday we had a lecture for 2 and a half hours, just on material out of the book. It's also a book we already read in 1st quarter, we're just focusing on the history aspect right now. What's stupid is that it gets dragged on and on and on by stupid fucking questions (most often its how to spell something that a) is in the book in front of you if you would just read along and b) is a word you're freaking retarded for not knowing how to spell HOW ARE YOU IN COLLEGE?!). This isn't out of the norm at all for this group of people, but it's extra annoying because WE ALREADY WENT OVER IT LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO. Then I feel like a jerk for working on other stuff at my desk just because I want to get work done. We're graded for being in lecture so....*sigh*
Outside of school things....
The not very serious job search marches on. I really don't want to do a job I hate, because I'm pretty happy right now and something like that could easily crush my spirit. It's not necessary for me to work right now, so, I'm not being super hardcore about it. (Being hardcore is like, taking a job at taco bell or something). Desperate is a better word. I'm not that, thankfully. I have applied to a few places here and there, and did a bunch last week. Got nothing though. I was kind of secretly thinking that if I didn't have anything going on by summer I should go back to that junk place. I know at least one person who would be happy about that. At least Hal wont be there, you know? That's the most important thing. OH PS Hal is moving to Arizona apparently. The douche factor of the state of Washington will decrease by .5% upon his departure.
Over the weekend I went to Seattle with Erik, which was fun. We only got a tiny bit lost, surprisingly. MY pro navigation skills got us there. We hung out for like half the day Saturday, and of course went to Wendy's. I actually got REALLY close to finishing my entire sandwich that time. That almost never happens. I've been eating a lot lately. Jason and I went to Abella's, and since we couldn't agree on toppings we just got our own pizzas, and I ate the whole thing. Minus like 3 crusts which I gave to Jason, but still! It's kinda catching up to me, so I gotta be sweatin' at the gym this week :D
Sunday was an interesting day. It was REALLY random. And we drove an obscene amount. I don't really want to go into the details of what happened, but it doesn't even matter. Essentially we went hiking with my parents. It wasn't really a great time for most of it, but there was some good that came of the day's adventures. Basically Jason constantly blows my mind with his awesomeness. Every person should wish they had a partner as amazing as he is. Despite everything that went awry we managed to have a pretty good time by the end of it. He's just really good at calming me down and making me feel better when I am frustrated. Plus I really appreciate his willingness to participate in such things, even if sometimes stupid crap happens (like every park being closed and our dog being stupid as fuuuuuuuuuck). *HEY JASON LOVE YOU, YOU RASCALLY RASCAL!*
So, it's a new week now and the weather is still nice (yay!). Now I am impatient for the pool to open. It opens 1st sunday in May, gooodddddddd so far away! Last year this happened....like....it was super nice all week leading up to the pool opening, and on the Saturday before it was like 90 degrees but they wouldn't open it. Then when it opened they had a big pool party with ice cream and stuff, but it was fucking raining and like 55. LOL. so Washingtonian. Yesterday I really could have gone for a swim. It was hot! I think it was like 76 or something. (People from CA, feel free to laugh).
I went and got this gr8 DVD from Charlie yesterday after school and we hung out for a bit. Walked around downtown in the *blistering heat*. I guess we don't hate each other anymore or something, I dunno. We've hung out a handful of times lately and get along way better than we ever did before. It's pretty cool. He's moving to some mystery place (actually puyallup) at some mystery time (actually like a month) so the friendship is pretty temporary I suppose. That's just too far to go to hang out with an ex, lol.
Also yesterday I drove down along Ruston and saw all the *cute dogs!*. I didn't really know what to do after I left downtown since Jason was probly going to be off work soon, so I just sorta aimlessly drove around for a bit. It was fucking RETARDEDLY crowded down there. I was considering getting some licorice ice cream, but there wasn't really anywhere to park. Plus there is no way I could eat one of those by myself.
OH SON OF A BITCH ok this turned out way longer than expected and wtf. I need to shower before class shitshitshitshitshit.
END!
