I know a crazy old guy that is writing a book, he needs a realistic drawing of a jester for the cover. or... something, and is willing to pay some amount for this. Mostly I just want to ask tracy but I mean I know a ton of artists and I don't really know who is most comfortable with realistic style. so w/e who's interested? |

haha, I said I'd take a break from the internet on valentines day. I can't say I've been successful but I am laughing that myspace and facebook have been avoided at least, for the reason that I have redirected them both to localhost in the hosts file on my computer and so the 50 million times I've accidentally pressed their shortcut links have gotten just a blank page. |

welp, LJ is almost exclusively texans now, and barely even that these days, but I'm trying to help a friend and a LJ post doesn't cost anything so whatever.
Anyone know any job opportunities for someone in the sort of... computer/design field? in the Bangor area? Websites or print advertising or whatever. even vague rumors of future jobs or people to cold call?
No one a thousand miles from here is going to read this though.... |

I went on a date.
It was nice but the girl wasn't really my type.
At the end of the date we kissed and she asked if I would want her to be my girlfriend. I sort of hemmed and hawed and said "I've only known you 5 hours, I don't really know"
Next time we talked I told her she was really nice but I didn't really want to date.
She said the title of this post and blocked me.
To be perfectly honest I am really really glad this happened. I've never done that before. Just like until this summer I have never had a real date, I have never had a real date that just wasn't right, instead of being hilariously awful and I am glad to check off "go on a date, have the girl not my type, not go on other dates" |

A number of months ago I made a bad plan, and over time put a lot of weight into it. I feel very dumb for this, and I see now I was wrong.
I have a lot of friends now, far more than I ever have in my entire life, maybe more than the rest of my life combined. maybe I'm not too good at dealing with that, and on 11/23 I had the plan to say goodbye to everyone, cut off contact with basically everyone I know and then without anything holding me to this area finally quit my job and move away. A bullshit escape.
That is tomorrow now, and no, I'm not going to do it.
I have friends I fight with, friends I don't always like to be around. I have friends that do things I don't like, or have done things that hurt me and I have friends that I have been mean to as well. I have friends I asked on dates and got shot down, and friends that asked me on dates that I shot down. I also have friends that mean everything in the world to me, that it's so hard to imagine being without them that I get scared sometimes of losing them and feel like the only answer is to ditch them first before they ditch me. I have friends that have moved on and I never hear from that I miss all the time.
So somehow, rather than being a grown up and dealing with any of it, I got it into my head the best possible thing to do would be to ditch it all and start life over somewhere else. And for a while I got very serious with this plan, repeating 11/23 as the last day to myself when things bothered me instead of dealing with any of it. And thats silly, thats not right at all.
Thats no sort of answer to things. I love my friends, and I love my life, more now than any other time in my entire life to be really honest. There is absolutely no real reason to take a list of minor frustrations and use it as a basis to throw out everything I know, including a great deal of people I never had any problem with at all and were just going to be collateral damage in this dumb game.
Writing this felt like chickening out, but doing it was what would have been chickening out. I love you guys, and I am going to be someone you can count on till the day you die, or at least to the day you don't need me anymore. |

| Corn maze |

My birthday is the 25th, thats a saturday.
My apartment is way too tiny to throw any sort of party.
Instead of doing a party then I am inviting everyone to the freakin levant corn maze.
It's a maze... made of corn... it's shaped like a tractor. It's 8 miles from bangor and costs 5 dollars, but you get an icecream at the end. I am doing this at 2:00.
I am serious and I will cry if no one comes to my birthday. Since a corn maze won't really take that long I'll figure out what to do after depending on what sort of people show up. Pizza? movie? I am open to suggestions. (but if someone just wants to come to the maze and leave after that's alright too, I am enamored of the idea of getting a ton of people to come to a corn maze for some reason) |

my phone is busted, it won't connect to the network and I can't make or receive calls. It's under warranty but before they will actually replace the phone they have to replace the SIM card, which I don't really think is the problem.
Normally it takes 7 days to get sent... thing is, since this is my only phone 7 days is a really friggin long time, especially considering I am very doubtful the SIM card is what has gone wrong. They waived some of the fees which is nice, but I really don't have a choice so I had to pay the 20 bucks ultra super fast shipping, but even 3 days hits a Sunday and Columbus day.
The fact this sounds a dubious solution, makes it sound like I am totally without a phone of any kind for the better part of the next two weeks or more. I've already not had phone service since tueday.
damn it! |

It's funny... or rather the opposite of funny how often the entries on my friends lists are my friends wishing for death. It's just the background noise of LJ. For the most part it gets ignored, there is too much of it to respond to every single cry of wolf so basically no one does, but someday something is going to happen, and it's going to be impossible to honestly say "I never saw it coming". |

I have plans, For the most part I know what I'm doing with my life and have several years worth of steps I need to take and pretty solid plans on how to do it. Thats pretty cool and I feel very proud and grown up it's like that. At the least I know I need to keep this job till january to see how the consolidation is going to work and if I can leverage it for a better job, if not I have studied enough to take a few more mid level certification tests and will have enough experience to go looking for a better job anyway. I'm all set on that stuff.
On the other hand, I'm floating, I have my long term plans, but in the short term I feel like I'm killing time. So often lately someone will mention something they are doing, and I'll take it up as my hobby, even if it costs hundreds of dollars then eventually lose interest and drop it, just to fill time. I keep a good budget so it's not hurting me any, but it's pretty bad how much day to day I just do whatever anyone around me even vaguely mentions could be fun.
I don't know I guess, it's not bad for any reason I guess, I have the money and sometimes the crap is fun, but it's so overt how much I do it now, if ANYONE mentions a book or a game or a place, I'll go out and spend whatever and just take up other people's interests. Something to fill the time.
Someone asked me how I could afford it all, and my answer was "I don't have any meaningful relationships of any sort to spend money on soooooooooooooo" and thats about it. Thats pretty much the reason why I do it too, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |

I gotta admit this, admit it somewhere public so I can't go back on what I say.
I've gotten in so much better shape than I used to be in, although I always vaguely fear I am wasting away from some horrible disease I clearly lost a lot of weight by eating much better and doing a real good sensible amount of exercise.
I'm finally to the point I can see myself as something other than repulsive, and I'm starting to get compliments from people that I can't really think of as having any ulterior motive to make compliments.
Thats really cool, I'm very proud.
I gotta start being more careful now though, it's making it really easy to slip towards some bad decisions. Stuff like running out of stuff for lunch and just putting it off till I go shopping instead of picking something up after work as an excuse to skip lunch, stuff like going back towards the death walks I did two summers ago, just stuff I need to not do.
I mean I am in no danger of becoming anorexic or anything, but god is it easy to just sort of slip that way in small ways, just slightly make decisions a slightly different way to make a really unhealthy choice. It really is something I need to watch out for, being thinner is pretty clearly great for my self esteem but it's not worth getting all crazy over. |

This isn't remotely an announcement I'm actively leaving LJ or anything but I have realized that 90% of my blogging has gone away and been replaced by constant status updates on facebook and myspace. |
