It feels like every time I come here to post, something drastic has happened in my life. Well, hopefully that will change soon as I get settled in my new place. Since the last post, Anthony broke up with me. I thought our relationship was very strong, all the way up until Halloween and after. We shared so much affection for each other, but then last week I noticed he wasn't acting the same. He was almost trying to avoid talking to me online and he made up excuses for when I asked if he'd like to see my new place this weekend. So I asked him if something happened, because I felt like something was different, and he just replies that he wants to break up... I really don't know what to think of it all, I mean we had a good thing going and he just all of a sudden lost interest. I don't get it. I really liked him, and I think I'm slowly getting over it, but I think I'm going to take a good break from trying to date anyone right now. I just can't handle another set back.
So I finally have a place to live, and I'm all moved in now. I just have to unpack and organize everything. I do enjoy living on my own now; I have a greater sense of freedom here.
Friday night my friend Jamie called me up to see if I needed help moving some things with his truck. I said yeah, then he also wanted to know if I'd like to come with him to a Magic: the Gathering friday night draft event. I was still feeling down about Anthony, so I was really glad he called me up. I had a good time and I played two sanctioned drafts and did surprisingly well in them, considering I haven't seen the card set until that night.
All day Saturday I was moving stuff between apartments and buying food and stuff for the new place.
Today, I finished moving stuff over and Jamie calls me again and wants to see if I'm interested in playing a Magic sealed deck tournament. I didn't have time to play the whole thing, so I just went over and watched him play for a little bit. Afterwards, I did some more shopping for apartment stuff and then I went out to meet Bob for dinner at Chuck's steakhouse in MA. I had a really good time with a great friend once again.
Thanks for everything.

Boyfriend
Last weekend Anthony came over again, this time he spent the night on Saturday. We drank beer again, more pumpkin ales. This time I got Harvest Moon, Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, and Jack's Pumpkin Spice. We got more drunk this weekend than last because the Dogfish Head was at least 7% alc./volume. It was also a very good pumpkin ale. If we keep this up every weekend, we're going to consider ourselves beer connoisseurs. We ended up watching Coraline, Drag Me to Hell, and bits and pieces of War of the Worlds and Scream and I was singing along to The Nightmare Before Christmas by the end of the night @_@; I say we saw bits and pieces of some movies because we were 'distracting' each other ^_^.
Tuesday night Anthony and I saw Where the Wild Things Are, which was a nicely done movie. I enjoyed it. Wednesday, last night, I drove to meet him at his house in RI, so that I could attend his screening of Drag Me to Hell at his film club. He was presenting it and thought it would be nice if I attended, so I did. I met a few of his friends, all of which are girls, and then we went to Chili's for a nice late night dinner. I told him I had a good time, even though I don't think I was showing it. On my way back he sent me a text saying that I made his day, and thank you :). It made me happy.
Right now I'm still looking at apartment options, desperately trying to find something cheaper than the one I will sign on Saturday. I think I'll try to leave work early and look at studio apartments... I'm really trying to be cheap now while I can, to pay off debt.
Tomorrow I'll be meeting Anthony again in RI to go to a haunted factory. I think it's like a haunted house, but instead it's a factory XD. Afterwards we're going to go to a bar with some of his friends he wants me to meet.
Saturday he plans to come over again to watch more DVDs. I've already got the beer purchased :P. Magic Hat and Post Road Pumpkin Ale. Plus I have a few bottles left over from last weekend, so we've got plenty.
Oh, forgot to mention: Yes we are boyfriends now. He asked me last weekend if it would be ok to introduce me as his boyfriend to his friends. :P I said yeah, and asked if he considered us boyfriends. He said yeah :P. So he popped the question before I did, which was a relief to me.

Chinese dinner date
Just got back from our date tonight. Pandorum wasn't playing anymore, so we decided to get some Chinese for dinner instead. We were planning on going to a place called "Uncle Chong's Chinese Restaurant", but apparently it doesn't exist anymore. Luckily my GPS knows of any local places to eat, so I had it find me the nearest Chinese place and we ate there. Wasn't bad food, it was actually one of the nicer Chinese restaurants I've been to. We talked in the parking lot for a little while aftwards. It was freeeezing out there though. He told me to wear more layers next time :P We finished with a hug and a kiss. He's going to be coming over again this Saturday, hopefully he'll be able to spend the night. If it doesn't come up before then, I'm definetly going to ask him if he'd be my boyfriend. My first boyfriend :]

Sunday movie marathon
Sunday was the big day with Anthony. First, I got up and went to the owner of the shared home I had signed up for to get my check back. Thankfully he had it ready and it was over pretty quickly. Then I got back and really cleaned up my room since it needed...
Anthony came over a little after 2PM and we started our movie marathon. We saw A Nightmare on Elm Street first. It was alright I guess, a little slow, but ok. Then we watched Kill Bill, which is always amazing. Next came Halloween. This is when we started with the beer. At this point we are mostly just talking and not paying attention to the movie though, but he's filling me in as it goes along. I had a bunch of questions, mainly since I don't think the movie Halloween makes much sense to me. But we put the next movie in, Kill Bill vol. 2, and he definitely missed a lot of it while we talked. He was gradually shifting his body to face me as we sat on my bed. He was getting touchy and kind of just leaned in and we started to kiss. It was a long first kiss between us, or at least it felt that way. We then kind of just talked about how we both wanted to on previous dates but neither of us had the guts in front of other people. So we keep drinking, talking, and making out off and on throughout that movie and through the next one, which was Hellraiser. I couldn't tell you anything about the plot of that movie, I was completely distracted ;P Our kissing kept getting more and more intense, and he even took my shirt off at one point and was just feeling my chest.
After Hellraiser he wanted me to show him how to play Call of Duty 4, so we both took turns playing between deaths for a little bit, then he realized it was really late, so he had to go. He had Monday off from school, but I didn't have the day off of work, so I still had to get up the next morning. Man, did I have a headache this morning. Thankfully it wore off mid-day though, but my lip was sore all day :P
We are going to see Pandorum in theaters tomorrow night, should be fun!

DMV, Zombieland, and a small announcement
Today my manager had the day off, so I decided to leave work around lunch time. I told my team I had an appointment and I'd be working remotely afterwards, so I left and went to the DMV to get my CT registration and license plates finally. My car didn't have a front bracket for the plate though, so I went to walmart and bought one. It's wierd though, it's not fitting right and the front plate is tilted downwards to the point where you can't really read what's on it.
I left around 8 so that I could meet Anthony around 9 to see Zombieland. We walked to the walmart next door first to pick out candy to smuggle in. The movie was actually pretty good, I liked it, although the sound kept going in and out towards the end, but that's the theater's fault. We went out to the parking lot and talked for a few minutes but had to cut it short because it was so late and I still had to drive back. I'm really awkward, I've come to realize, I don't know what to do in relationships. By now many people who are dating have probably at least made the first kiss and I know we both want to.. I just don't know how to start it. He hugged me as he said goodbye, and I could tell it was hard for him to initiate it too. Maybe he's afriad he's rushing things too much and he'd freak me out or something.
Anyway, he is coming over on Sunday so we can watch some DVD's. We came up with a list of movies we want to make each other see. For example, he's a huge horror movie buff, but I've never seen some of the classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween, so he's going to sit me through them. On the other hand, he has never seen Kill Bill, The Lord of the Rings, The Boondock Saints, or even Star Wars so I'll be sitting him through those.
I would like to take this opportunity to make a formal announcement: I will be making this blog private for one month starting October 11th. If you would like to read posts in that time period and you haven't followed, then do so, otherwise don't and just wait for the month to expire. Unless there isn't anyone who secretly follows me D: , then disregard that D:

Apartments and bowling
I've been thinking lately that it would just be better if I got a single apartment. Yeah, it's more expensive and when my loans kick in I'll be making things tight, but it's just so much better to have free reign over my living space. If I were to have company over.. it would just be better to have them over at my place in a more comfortable environment.
Speaking of housing, I checked out the cheap shared home I mentioned in the previous post. It's, well, cheap for a reason. Bad neighborhood, although they live next door to a cop. But the inside was just unappealing and I'd have restrictions on having guests over... so I think I'm going to tell them I will decline. I really do want to tough it out for like a year or two and just use the money I'd save to pay of loans or something, but I don't think I can do it sanely. I just can't expect to meet someone in a relationship and bring them over the house... so I'm going to have to side with the potential of love here over money.
On that note! Tonight I met Anthony at a bowling alley, where we played 3 games. Last night he suggested that we make a non-monetary bet on the outcome of the game, and whoever wins gets to claim it after the game. lol, I think I knew at this point, at least in my mind, that he probably wanted a kiss as his reward. Well, that's what I wanted. So we bowled 3 games and I won every one of them... I kind of felt bad, because I'm not a good bowler at all.. but apparently it was literally the second time he's gone bowling... so yeah. We walked out into the parking lot and just talked. We talked from 9:30 until midnight. He asked me what I wanted for winning, but I just couldn't say I wanted the kiss because there was this group of people standing a little bit away from us, also talking. (Apparently the parking lot of a bowling alley on a Tuesday night is a popular place to hang).
He told me he had something to tell me, but he didn't want to say it in front of the other people, so we walked a bit away from them out of hearing range. He told me that he really liked me... I returned saying I liked him too. So we just kind of continue our conversation and I know we are both just dieing for the other people to leave us alone, but it just got so late that we called it a night. I wanted to tell him that I wanted a kiss, but I just don't think it would have felt right in front of the other group of adults. He want's to do something Thursday... kind of soon given our distance (he lives in RI), but I said ok. He might come to visit me at my apartment, but I'm not sure if it will be a good idea given what's been happening with Josh and me.

Picking up the pieces
First of all, I'd like to thank those of you who have reached out to me within the past week. I really needed someone to talk to and I'm glad you were there. It sounds silly but I really wanted to die. I'm feeling much better now, even though we are still splitting and I've lost the Josh I used to know.
Right now, I am looking at 2 potential places to live, with the third option of staying at the apartment and putting an ad up for a roommate. One of those options is about half of what I'm paying for the current apartment + utilities, so I'm really hoping that will work out. I'd be saving money equivalent to a car payment, so it's like I get a free car out of this whole ordeal. I get to look at the place in person on Tuesday.
I met with Anthony again, one week after our dinner date. This time we saw Jennifer's Body, a horror/comedy about a teenage girl (Megan Fox) who turns into a demon and terrorizes her school. It was kind of corny, which was I think intentional by the director, but overall it was enjoyable to watch. Anthony wants to meet again Tuesday already to go bowling. :)
I'm really thinking of starting a new blog without any traces back to this one when I get a new place. It'll be like starting a new chapter in my life. I haven't decided how I will do it if I'm not going to have a bridge from this blog to the other, but I'll figure something out.
