i haven't updated in a while. a lot has been going on since my last real post. i've moved into the Inn, with my new roommate and friend Nate. he's a really humorous guy who's really into music. we have the most interesting conversations, i'm glad i lucked out and got a good roommate. the Inn is nice. it's basically a hotel which is exactly what it used to be. which means that all the doors lock automatically and nobody leaves them open. except for the people i already now and nate's friends i really don't know anybody else who lives here. at times i think i should go around and introduce myself to people. At the same time, i feel as though i already know plenty of people, like i don't need anymore friends. so in my indecision i haven't met anyone new here.
Classes have started. i have a lot of liberal arts classes so theres lots of reading homework to do. i'm really enjoying my japanese class. i also know several people in my two major related classes, New media publishing and Intro to computer imaging, so they are more enjoyable.
i've played a lot of ddr. this girl i met at work during the summer likes to play it as well. we've been going to the clubhouse and the amf olympic lanes to play fairly frequently since then. we also met this guy named mike at the clubhouse one of those times and he's come to play with us several times. i'm starting to get really good at it. i can do 7-8's on heavy fairly consistently. i also broke one of my pads the other day. the left arrow just stopped working all of a sudden and the the whole pad went berserk so i ripped the whole thing in half haha. it's okay though because i have another one. i think i'm going to mount my other one on a better piece of wood and get a cheap chairmat or something to put over it and tape it all together. that way it will last alot longer.
i've hung out with chiron a bit. she moved in last monday and i came over to her place and we went out to dinner and watched mystic river. then on friday we hung out here and got free pizza and stuff at charades. after that we basically made out on my bed until i had to go to work at 10. then on saturday she came over here again for a while and we saw la finestra de fronta at the little. then she slept over and we made out a lot more. i kinda feel bad for nate, cause that's basically all we did that night. i don't want to be the asshole roommate who's always making out with his girlfriend in front of him. anyways, on sunday we went to the clubhouse for a bit and chiron tried her hand at it. she says she sucks but i saw her improve about two feet while we were there which wasn't that long. besides, you have to start somewhere right? after that we came back and she worked on a project on my computer since her internet was down at her dorm. i was sad to see her go home that night.
the subject line says that because today i was supposed to do a lot of productive things but i feel like crap and don't have the motivation to do them. it's partly because i stayed up way too late last night doing dumb shit. i wanted to swim this morning but i was way too tired and ended up skipping my first class, fine arts: music. sometimes i just feel like i'm useless to myself. i'm promising myself right now that i'll swim tomorrow morning as well as do the other things i need to do. i hope i can follow through.
