My Exciting (and crazy) Life

Saturday, I met Jason in Hartford to spend the afternoon with him... He's the asian guy I met online. I wasn't interested really in meeting him because I thought our AIM conversations were'nt amounting to much, but I did anyway because I couldn't say no. We ate lunch at this random place and I payed for it. I think I'm the kind of person where if I think I make more money than someone else, I'll offer to pay for things.. and with my raise I just assume these things :P

After lunch we walked through the park, the both of us not knowing our way around Hartford at all. We eventually found the Art Museam and toured that. He payed for my ticket before I could offer again, but it was good because he had his old student ID and we got in for student price.

The art museam was both interesting and boring... lol. I love art, but I guess I wasn't interested in realism for the most part, and that is what they specialized in. I'm more of an ancient artifact/statue/architect admirer.

After the museam we walked back to the train station, hugged, and parted. I'm sure you're thinking "Aww, how nice.", but like I said I wasn't really interested in meeting him, so I wasn't inclined to talk much. I kind of felt bad, but I need to be interested to have converastion, but I just wasn't feeling it.

Sunday Josh came by my room and asked if I wanted to walk to the mall with him, so naturally I said yes. We walked across the street to the mall and Josh pre-ordered Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for the Xbox. We walked around Barnes and Noble for a few minutes and then went back to the apartment. I like to ask Josh if he would like to go out to eat usually every Sunday, and he said sure. We ended up ordering Chinese, and it was really good. I ordered the Orange Chicken.

Monday, Josh and I played some CoD4. Not sure what else I did >.>

Tuesday, Josh and I left work early so that I could do my drug test. Josh dropped me off at the clinic, went to pick up Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, then picked me back up. We had dinner then we played that game for the next 4 hours. It is a great game, especially playing co-op. Josh's character of choice is Gambit, and I've been playing as Wolverine. This is one of Josh's favorite aspects to playing videogames, co-op is. He's a very social person, and I guess it's rubbed off onto me. I can't stand playing any game alone, it's.. well, lonely. It's also part of why I became addicted to FFXI, the "massively muliplayer" online experience.

Today, work was very busy. I was in meetings for most of the day, and I am being given a lot of work.

After work, we had dinner and started playing MUA2 again. We stopped a little early because his gf called.

PS. I get converted the 21st! Only 2 days left making my current salary, then I get an increase Monday :D Can't wait!

The real world

How do I begin? I'm not going to give all of the details of my life in the first post, so maybe I'll try to incorporate them in future posts. I'll start by telling you about the past month. I intend not to reveal my true identity, so that I may tell even my darkest secrets, although those will have to wait.

On June 1st I started my first job. I just graduated in May and if you are familiar with the U.S. economy, I am very fortunate to have it. I'll be doing web programming and database queries and more. I'm still learning about my job and it'll be a long time before I actually will know what I need to know.

I lived in PA all my life and now with this new job I am living in CT. Essentially I left my friends and family to live in CT with one of my fraternity brothers, who also landed a job at the same company as me. We currently share an apartment, although I fear one day, maybe after the year is up, that he will want to move out and live with his girlfriend who will be out of college then. My bigger fear is that he is trying to find another job so that he can live closer to his girlfriend instead of her coming out here. That would mean the closest person I am to in CT would be gone, and I would be lonely.

This past weekend I got the cartilage of my left ear pierced. I had gotten my earlobes pierced 2 almost 3 years ago, but they closed within the first year I had them. Honestly, I'm not sure why I got it. It wasn't spontaneous; I've been thinking about it for well over a year. It does look cool though, and I think it reveals a part of my personality that I can make decisions without fear.

Let me finish off each post with 5 fun facts or thoughts.
1. I have a younger brother and a younger sister.
2. Two days ago I paid $200 for a pair of Ray Ban's (they're sooo nice).
3. Other than dress socks, I only own black socks that come up to below my ankle. (I have many many pairs).
4. I love The Smashing Pumpkins, 30 Seconds to Mars, and many other bands.
