Who Stole my Cookies?
Alright, so now that char is gone I can post and update about what I have been doing all this time.
So the last real new about my life came in a picture about a headcrab. I have named him "Cranium Lobster" for a lack of a better funnier name and it has stuck (with me at least).
Char came over about two Saturdays ago, he was a really good friend who I met through AGNPH, he's one of the admins there with myself. I couldn't take any time off work to be here so that kind of sucked but the time we had off we had a lot of fun. We went to the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle. While it was a little short it was really, really cool to see everything they had. We would have gone to the EMP or something else but coon had to be somewhere and so we decided to put it off.
We went out eating a few times (which reminds me I'm hungry as all hell right now) and that was fun, got a chance to talk to him more and get to know him better. Char is a very sweet guy, honestly. He comes from down south but has no trace of that horrible accent, which is a very big plus. What catches my eye about him is the same that has caught my eye about every single roommate, my partner, most of my friends, and everyone else I talk to about college. He is struggling in college right now, really bad. Not that his classes are all that hard it's just that there is no desire to do anything with college. We go to college because it's "what you do" after highschool. I know there are a lot of people who say nobody knows what they want to do until the first years of college are over but jesus christ, that's an expensive aptitude test to take. Not even financially, mentally and socially going to college (especially if you're one of the first in your family) is a HUGE strain on the body.
All that aside when it came time to bring him back to the airport the idea floated that he should stay a bit longer. Of course we were joking but then he said he might be able to get his flight changed to accomidate that. With a few clicks and whatnot he had a flight for the week later, huzzah!
We still didn't do anything exciting :/
I feel bad about that all, we should have done a lot more, like what Arc and Lando did on their visit but... I dunno just wasn't in me. It's not my personality to go out and DO things outside of mall-walking and getting food. I'm a very humble man who likes to keep to his machines and play a few video games.
We did however pick up some new games. While we were out I saw beatmania for the PS2. I had to pick it up right then and there, which we did. God it's so much fun to be able to play beatmania without spending a dollar to look like a fool and fail the first song I pick. Char and I played it a lot and got decent at it, but I still dont' see how you're supposed to pull off some of these harder songs, it's near godlike speeds.
By the time this is posted I will no longer have the dual screen setup, I was just using that because I was waiting for a new hard drive and power supply of my old computer. My roomies really wanted another comptuer other than their laptops to play WoW on, so now I can let them use this one. Other than more ram it's still a really good PC, perfect for small time gaming like WoW or HL2.
Today I wathced Truman show again. I know it's faggy but the ending of that movie makes me want to tear up a little in how powerful and moving his escape is. Makes me wish it was real so I could witness someone like that for real. Right after that wish though comes the realization that if that was ever done human rights would be all over it and the guy who came out would probably be fucking insane as all hell.
When char did finally leave (lots of flight problems) he let me rip a lot of his music, which rocks because mine was getting a bit stagnant :D
I'm really glad I got to spend time with him, in all meanings of the word. I know coon was getting a little worried because his past relationships but that's just coon being himself, nothing to worry about there. I really hope all goes well with char and his parents. They are kind of... crazy and whatnot and today I found out his mom might lose her job of 25 years, so I'm sure that's going to make his life a bit more interesting.
Also, a few days ago I was here alone. Bryan was at work, vee was at work, Lando was in California and I was here all by myself. After about an hour of fun I sat back down and got really lonely. I felt... insanely bored and didn't know what to do. I haven't been alone since I moved out and to be alone in my own apartment was a very empty feeling. I'm not a loner person, I need other people aorund to feed off of and bounce silly ideas and just to TALK to. It's crazy.
Then I sit and wonder, if I ever broke up with Bryan and decide to move out on my own... how long would that last? How long until I end up going back home to mom and dad or having soem random friend or person as a roommate to stop the insanity? Not very long the more I think about it.
it feels really good to write these all down again, I forgot how theraputic telling everyone and nobody my problems and life can be.
Oh well, second computer has finished installing windows, time to go fiddle with that one!
