I feel much better today. I woke up feeling better, and I’m still feeling better. Everyone is back at work, I had a chance to talk about some of the stuff that was bothering me last night, and all and all, I feel much better. Can’t say it’ll last, but for the moment, I’m going to enjoy it.

I need a hobby… anyone have any ideas? I need inexpensive and something that doesn’t necessarily require large quantities of artistic talent. Please have all applications to me no later than yesterday, and be prepared for a strict and probing interview. Er, or is that Innerview… no, that’s just wrong.

I’ve been slowly realizing over the past few days that I’m going to loose two good friends in September. Kat, who’s going to Japan for a year (so she’ll be back) and Chris, who’s moving to Japan for as long as he possibly can I’d imagine. Sure, there’s aim… but no midweek beers, or long sessions of Battlefield or GTA3:VC. Painful… but, we all must pursue our goals.

Hate loosing friends… but as I look at it more, it’s not really a loss so much as a relocation. And I am going to try my damndest to get enough money together to go visit them during the year that they are both in Japan. We shall see… but I want to see Japan, and what better way to do it than if you have a friend over there.

Fedex is certainly beating the f*ck out of their packages recently. This is the second package we’ve gotten from fedex that the box has been beat to hell and a large hole is in the box. Mind you it wasn’t very well packed to start with, but still… if someone from Fedex ever reads this, by god, take care with packages you don’t know anything about. The first one was of 2 120gig Firewire drives, and the second one was 3 Tally Toner Cartriges. And to CDW, pack your shit a little better. I constantly receive stuff from you guys that has inappropriate packing material used to pack something fragile. And while I’m bitching, Gateway, you need to stop using Peanuts, or start using ones that are Cornstarch based and not styrofoam ones.

Well, that all said, I think I’m going to get back to “work”… have a wonderful day, all of you, and maybe I’ll feel wordy and post again tonight.

I’m getting better… I feel happy, I feel happy… *thud*

ello ello, just thought I’d do a quick post to all the peeps.

I was feeling rather good this afternoon, then shitty, and now I feel pretty good again after a few beers and some FPS playing. Listened to some AC/DC, and otherwise just relaxed a bit. Good to get out some agression too. I miss my friends… got to see the main LIX crowd, which was nice.

Thanks to you who helped me out, and thanks to you who will help me out. I appriciate it.

With that, I’m out for the night… think I’ll get a good nights sleep for once.

Keep it real, and I’ll post more tomorrow.

Well, I’m home. Have been for hours now. We left for home at about 1… got to see a Fire along the way back, around the Black Butte Ranch, Suttle Lake area. pretty decent one… traffic rubbernecked a bit there, but after that it was smooth sailin. Was a good trip, all and all. Got a chance to relax and do something that was physical and not computer based at all. Infact, I think I touched a computer all of 5 minutes over the last 3 days. I’m quite happy about that. My mood has improved a lot… that being said, I didn’t write any kind of posts that I was going to back post… but that’s okay, gotta have weekends.

Over the weekend a lot of things happened. There was a huge LAN party up in the Portland area (TPL style… not going to get into that). Also there was appearently a rather large BBQ over at LIX. Wish in some ways I could have made it, but as I said to Sara, it’s probably good I didn’t. I don’t get to relax at parties (I’m often called upon to tend bar, and otherwise I feel some desire to entertain a certain amount… and then the noise gets to me, so I go off to some pseudo-secluded area and sit and stare at the wall). In central oregon I got to relax… so I think that is really what helped my mood out a lot. Plus, as I said but wasn’t understood, if I am at every party, I am expected by people to be there. I like an element of suprise… plus, the last few parties just haven’t been that fun (party wise). The measuring of breasts was fun… I don’t know, I think parties loose their place if you are just drinking and chatting. I was something new, something fun and different… Kat usually excels at that with her parties… maybe I’ll just have to start thinking of shit to do… but then it’s not as fun, part of it is spur of the moment type stuff. Eh, perhaps I’m just a whiney bitch.

Got everything done in Central Oregon we were supposed to, and got to travel a bit, but mostly got to have some of the best Pizza in Oregon while there. Place called Sully’s. It’s an Italian joint in downtown Redmond that has excellent pizza. Not sure if I’d put it above or below Nonna Emilia’s or not… though Sara must have gotten a bad pizza, or just has strange taste in Pizza (then again, I think that’s the case: mostly since she likes some Greasy shit).

My hunger for good Chinese continues… if anyone can suggest a good place to get General Tso’s chicken, please please please, tell me!

Well, I better wrap this up, I can tell some of you are getting bored. You know, since there are comments on this site–and THANK YOU for using them, all of you–feel free to ask me questions or pick my brain. I’m starting to be at a loss of things to say that are more than just what happened during my day. While that may be interesting for a brief moment, I can’t imagine it is as intellectually stimulating as I hope my other topics are. So please, ask away. If it’s not something I feel comfortable answering or talking about completely in my blog, I’ll atleast say something about it and talk to you about the rest in person or via aim/icq/yim.

Thanks to all of you who use my comments… I was told by someone the other day that my blog is the only one she visits that people comment on. That makes me happy.

See you, Space Samurai
