Good Morning, 2010! The Princess' Diary Intarwebs Edition

[Lady Door]

Had a chat with one of the people in the office. Prelim phone call. She said she'd get back to me "one way or the other" in the "next few weeks" so... now the waiting begins! It seemed to go over okay, but I try not to analyze those conversations too much because, yeah, fruitless.

So my fingers are going to be pretty achey from being crossed for a few weeks.

Welcome back to the US, super! Glad your vacation went well. Need to post more pictures. Can't get enough of the greeeeeeeeen.

Also, Rob: What kind? Why? (Perhaps the second question is silly...)

I purchased a new Beretta, because I did not have a handgun of my own. Used to be, when I wanted to go target-shooting with one, I could go across town and borrow my dad's Glock. Well, having moved a few months ago, I'm really not doing that anymore.

[NotMiki]

Awesome, Ashley. Hope you get it!

Sweee~eet! Just picked up Tales of VS for less than 10 bucks! ^___^

[Idun]

Still negative, but I have an appt in two weeks.

That's about the right price for it. Hardly a bad game, but not enough content for a game like it to be worth full retail.

I beat the main game with Yuri and since then I've been just playing Tales of WallBreaker for hours on end.

HOLY CRAP EARTHQUAKE.

So my professor wanted to see me today to give me something. I'm thinking it's a book. She pulls out a Gap bag after showing up, and gives me 7 skirts. Haha.

She can't fit into them. They're petites, and I fit in them! WHAT, yay I'm petite for once.

HOLY CRAP EARTHQUAKE.

Okay, who gave the Canadians TM26?

[Grefter]

Geodudes learn it naturally.  Doma just hit level 33.

The job got back to me (a good week sooner than I anticipated) with a form rejection. It hurts a little, of course, but I am neither surprised nor that bothered by it. After a few conversations and some thinking, it turns out I don't feel like any job is going to make the difference for me. I am moving more toward what will, but sitting in an office doing things for other people -- even if those people happen to be working on things I care about -- is just not it.

So, onward, etc.

I played the lottery tonight, 4 Mega Millions.

I did not win.

Wanting someone to talk to at 3am rarely ends well. >_>

Back from a wedding that I was the best man at.  Of the 250 people or so there I knew... 11 or so?  Makes it kind of weird.  I did get to meet a lot of the bride and grooms family, which is fun I guess, but they're from kind of a redneck town and I don't really fit in well.  There is a reason the two of them are never moving back there...

Random highlights that people might find entertaining

1. Spending some time having drinks with one of the grooms cousins, she was real cute.  She'd talked about graduating and moving up to Portland, which is pretty close to me.  Good times.  After like 15 minutes I find out via her uncle that she had just graduated high school...  she was still 18, but that's kind of awkward to me.  (I'm 24.)  She's moving to Portland for college.  Oh well!

2. Bride's dad and groom's brother got into a fight.  Pretty much everyone sided with bride's dad.  Sadly I was beyond wasted at this point and missed it.  I was filled in a little, but haven't gotten full details.  (Groom doesn't even like his own brother, so not a shock that everyone siding with bride's dad.)

3. Bride's dad spent over 2000 dollars on alcohol.  The people making drinks made them insanely strong because they had more alcohol than mixers... made for some disgusting drinks, but they did the job.  I started with 8ish shots of JD and 3 glasses of wine, then switched to champagne.  Drank that out of the bottles... so who knows how much of that I drank.

4. Went for a swim at 2AM, probably a bit too drunk to be swimming, but whatever... it was fun!  Woke up without any kind of hangover somehow, so I decided that swimming at the end of a drinking night is good.  (Had to drive 5 hours today, so lacking a hangover was awesome.)

5. Met one of the bride's friends who was a stripper, got her number, found out she came with her boyfriend, awkward again...  Ended up meeting him and we had a great time!  Ahh alcohol.

All in all, being the best man is awesome.  I think people are a lot more open to talking to you than when you're just some random guy at a wedding.  (Helps that the other groomsmen were not attractive in the least!)

Different account name.  Fuck Google.  Couldn't think of anything better than this one atm.

Does this mean I have permission to take a run at her? Just because it's awkward for you, doesn't mean it has to be for me.

Weddings are awesome.

I am the best man for my best friends wedding coming up in March. Me and the two other best men really need to get together and figure out what we are going to do for the bachelor party.

Only if you introduce me by my alias, Dr. Edward McEneely. As a general rule, I don't want people to know things about me.

I'm working 46 hours this week. This is confusing. I am, what shall I say, part-time? Last week I worked 35, the week before 32. I hear through the grapevine that if they give you full time hours for three weeks, you're guaranteed a full-time position?

"Oh just half-time at work and it's a World Cup game day! How busy things could possibly be?"

Ha. Hahahaha. hahahaHa. ha.

Naturally I would do it no other way.

Scotland pics. St Andrews pictures should be going up this friday; everything else is up. The trip was really awesome, and the scenery has to be some of the best in the world.

It's kind of ridiculous how much of an effect the weather has on my mood. Thank $deity I live in California.
