This past week was really nice for me at work since it was a slow week. Most everybody has this week off anyway, so I worked from home most of the week. It was really just great. When I come back after the holidays it's going to be really busy for the remainder of the year though, so it will be interesting. I suppose my new years resolution is to give a lot of effort in learning more about my job so that I can become a valuable asset to the company.
With several days working at home and having New Years off and the weekend, I haven't really seen or talked to many people, and it kind of put me in a depressive mood.
According to Microsoft support my Xbox is on the way back from getting repaired, but the site won't tell me when I can expect it... which means they will probably try to deliver it while I'm at work of course. I've gone like a month and a half to 2 months without playing Modern Warfare 2 and I really want to get back into that.
I went out a few days ago and bought a variety of beers. It's kind of funny really, more than half of what's in my fridge is beer... I was reading a message board and someone was raving about authentic German beers and they were raving about Paulaner and any Hefe Weissbier in general, so I picked up Paulaner and Weihenstephaner and I already had a bunch of Blue Moon in the Fridge. I also bought a six pack of organic Coffee Porter made by Wolaver's. It turns out to be a very good beer, one that I hope isn't just a seasonal beer, which I think it is.

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.

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.
