(no subject)
been a while again. let's see, what's been going on.
meh, don't really feel like writing something long, so let's do highlights.
new cat is odd, but settling in. Hissing is completely gone, or at least I don't hear it. They're not really playing with each other, but both playing when I bring out the toys. I think I'm going to call him Ognian. He just needs a hat.
I'm now off of my old project, and on to something different. It's not new, so it's only part of what I was hoping for, but it's still something different. Pro's: I'm home pretty much all the time now. Negatives: I got used to the travel bonus and the expenses. Have to readjust to a lower income again. Such is life.
For 4th of july me and some friends hopped on our bikes and headed out to ribfest in Naperville. Apparently the fire marshall closed ribfest down, so instead we went to a rib place out there called Gemato's which was pretty good. Afterwards, we found a neighbourhood lot where you could see the fireworks from. Naperville has better fireworks than Chicago does.
As part of this, One of my neighbours rode pillion with me, and is now obsessed with bikes. Shes taking her course this weekend, and looking to buy a used one. I've been helping her with this, because it's fun to look at pretty bikes. And I get to discuss all my otherwise useless knowledge.
Parents coming in to town for a week and a half starting tommorrow. My brother is going to be in town, and wants to go to six flags. yaaay. On the plus, I'm going to be able to escape to Pitchfork on Sunday, so that should be fun. Apples in Stereo and the Spoons are the only two I've heard of from Sunday, but the rest should be interesting.
Going skydiving again august 2nd. Should also be a busy weekend.
I've kind of started using the gym. Still a little hit and miss, with the new cat around I've been using that as an excuse (more time to acclimate to me). But I'm getting somewhere, I suppose. What I really want to do is add martial arts back in to the mix, I've found another style/gym that might suit me. Can always try. On top of that, there's always that idea of going to dance lessons (swing, and sometimes I think of doing salsa as well) but I think with everything else I might be reaching my own personal critical mass of things to do.
Age of conan... no one I know really plays when I do. Kind of disappointing. I have fun, but I'm pretty much just running around by myself. Thinking about cancelling again, but who knows.
I'm going to start locking my posts. Took me a little while, but the whole "people I don't expect might see this" thing is starting to weigh on my mind. And stuff.
