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.

Url and housing changes
Hey followers, I just want to let you know that I changed the url of my blog. It was previously skipintothenight.blogspot.com and now it is unwaveringtruth.blogspot.com. I'd rather have a cooler name, but I already changed it and it was hard to find something available :P
Anyway, I'm sorry that I did that, but I chose to do that instead of making my blog private. I had foolishly given my blog link to Josh in hopes that he would see how much I was hurting and so that he could remember the good times we had, but I was wrong. I had a fight with him last night. It turns out that the root of the reason he is leaving me is because his GF hates me for what I did. Apparently he'd ditch his friend just to please his GF. So I can't even attempt to be friends with him if she won't let him. He's blind, insecure, and homophobic. I never saw this coming, but now I think it was for the best.
Today I responded to an ad for a shared home on craigslist. It was only 600/month with all utilies included and I got my own bedroom, bathroom, and living area. The kitchen was also very nice. Only thing is, I'm sharing a home with a 60 year old stranger. At first I was really excited that I found a good deal, I even gave him a check for next months rent already. But came back home and called my mom to tell her the good news and she wasn't very happy, she was worried in fact. I felt I had made a rash decision and I felt I truly couldn't be comfortable in a shared home, so I called him and told him I was withdrawing and asked him if I could come pick up my check. He said yeah, that I can, so I will be picking it up tomorrow at noon. I really felt bad for doing that, but i just need to stick it out and find a single apartment somewhere.
Tomorrow Anthony is coming over at 2 to start our movie marathon. He asked me what kind of beer I liked so that he could bring it over, lol. I really think he just wants to loosen me up, but it's cool I probably could use it and I know we aren't going to home base, it wouldn't happen this suddenly, but maybe second or third ;) I went out and bought 2 six packs, one of Jacks Pumpkin Spice and the other is Hooker Oktoberfest. Hooker is a Connecticut only beer that is pretty much amazing. I went to their distillery once, they were having an all you can drink "taste test" night, so I got to taste a wide variety of their flavors, and they were all awesome.
So tonight I am cleaning up my room and doing laundry to get ready for tomorrow. I hope you all are having a great weekend, and sorry again for changing my url.

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.
