My ramblings...

Ok, so I suppose I will end this two + month sabbatical I have been taking from the blogging community. It has been a really really long time since I have even logged into Blogger. I got slammed at the end of last semester with some massive projects for school. I actually have one of them still online and operational incase anyone is curious. I really don’t have an excuse since school ended. I really don’t have an excuse for my departure since school ended other than I am currently “involved” with someone. Well then without further a due lets get on with my babble.

Since October, hmmm.. what has happened. School did finally end (about the first week of December), I ended up with an A, B and C. I started seeing Janet (first or second week of November) more on this latter. November and December were fairly uneventful otherwise. I did have Thanksgiving and Christmas both with the family. Christmas was cool, some neat presents, my parents actually got me the same digital camera I got Heather for Christmas. My brother (Steven) asked Tessa to merry him. She seems like a good match for him. It will be interesting, more on this in the future I am sure.

More recently, Heather and I were invited to a New Year party in Cape Coral sometime back. I had mixed feelings about going, we all know I don’t like people and parties have never been my thing especially when there are only going to be three people I know there. I ended up going although I had to take a day off of work (since it was actually on the 30th). I didn’t really go for the party but so Heather wasn’t driving 4+ hours by herself. As it turned out I actually had a decent time. Poor Heather though, Ruth got sick so she was the only female our age around. It got a kick out of the host. Chris, if I remember correctly, ( I don’t know if I can say this without getting in trouble, but he and Heather had a fling several months back ) had no idea who I was and here I am showing up with Heather at his house! We made our rounds with Ruth and Andy getting introduced to the folks our age and the parents. I guess somehow I got missed in the introduction to Chris, because it wasn’t long and he walked up to us and said “I don’t think I know who you are”. I gave him my name and hand, and I guess he missed it but Ruth told him I was Heather’s roommate. The night progressed and since he was the host he didn’t hang around for long but Heather, Ruth, Andy and I stood in the corner of the room and chatted, and before too long the younger crowd had migrated our way as well. What killed me the most was when Chris would come around or I would return he would always keep his back to me as trying to exclude me from the conversation. I guess he finally gave up when he realized that I wasn’t going anywhere and not backing down because he never showed back up in the circle of youth while we were still there. I ended up sitting with three of his close friends drinking and talking about school, politics and of coarse the meaning of life. It is amazing how chatty I get when I have a buzz. Haha.. I intimidated the rocket scientist. We said our goodbyes headed back to the hotel to sleep off the alcohol. We started our trek back on New Year’s Eve, made better time, not as much traffic.

New Year’s Eve we did a sorta’ double date thing. Heather and James went to the Ice Palace to skate and as hard as Janet tried to get me to go I held my ground. After talking to Heather when she got back I am glad I didn’t go. Since we are having a warm start to the new year the upper layer of ice was melting and there was standing water on the rink. We then all headed over to TGI Fridays for dinner, little did we know that they were closing at 10. Needless to say we ended up being some of the last people in the restaurant. The plan after that was to go to a club. Now, since I really don’t like clubs I was not thrilled with the idea. Janet wasn’t sure and only wanted to go for a little while. I finally talked her out of it and we went back to my place and watched the ball drop in Time Square. Since I woke up at the ass crack that morning (every time I get drunk, sun up so is Larry, about as bad as someone else I know, except I don’t go looking for cereal) and had at this point become motionless, I was getting very sleepy. I barely made it to midnight.

The next morning came and I didn’t feel like doing a damn thing. The last thing I wanted to do was try and entertain someone. I was kinda’ feeling it the night before and actually wouldn’t have complained too much if the PD would have called and said I needed to come in. That morning I really wasn’t interested and tried to make that point known with Janet. I tried to tell her that I had laundry and I needed to work on my car. Neither one of these are lies, I just didn’t have any plans on doing them that day. I might have actually got some laundry done but I planned on vegging most of the day away. As not to seem like a complete ass I asked Janet (when we finally got out of bed) if she wanted to do breakfast. It actually was more brunch since it was about 11 when we got to IHOP. We got back to my house and she then decides that she wants to do something outdoorsy. By this point I am starting to get aggravated, I have tried nicely to get rid of her and it just isn’t working. So, I tell her if she want to go somewhere and do something then she had to decided what the hell that something was. I told her about the various state parks in the area and we finally agreed to go to Payne’s Prairie. The park is pretty nice, good for biking or horseback riding the trails. I will probably visit it again soon. We walked around for a bit and left after about two hours. Then came what I was dreading... our plans for the evening. I agreed to dinner and a movie. I took her to see Narnia as she had not seen it yet and expressed an interested when it first came out. After dinner at Chili’s we went back to her place. While sitting on the couch I got a call from the other Janet. Apparently she is ill and would not be making it to work this morning. Since Casey was leaving town that left well me to cover the shift, so I left her house and went home to put my happy little ass to bed. It really would have been in her best interest to have left me alone yesterday! Not only am still in my slum but I now have to try and play catch-up since I didn’t get anything accomplished yesterday.

Anyways, here I sit on my day off, and since I had nothing else to do and so I will stop being harassed I decided to update. I make no promises but I will try and stay on top of it.

Wow, so I started writing this some time ago.. then all hell broke loose. Well I think I am done anyways, until next time and I promise it won’t be 2 months.
