Exciting Saturday Night

note the sarcasm.

I'm so freakin bored. I really shouldn'e be so upset though. I mean it can (and has) been much worse. Like I ould be bored and 1. being annoyed by my mother, 2. being annoyed by loud and/or obnoxious roommates, 3. not having cable, internet, and/or a cell phone to connect to the outside world, or 4. being annoyed and smothered by loneliness AND boredom.

so maybe I should be counting my blessings. but I'm not. and FB isn't helping. reading "status updates" of friends who are out dancing, out drinking with friends, making late night cheesecake factory runs. sigh. instead I am home, reading about the fun stuff other people are doing, and being slightly miserable.

it's  my own fault really. Thursday C asked what we were doing this weekend, and when I said nothing, he asked me to find fun stuff to do. so I did. I spent about half day Thursda trying to find fun stuff to do in NJ, NY, and PA...yes, the entire tri-state area. and I found some promising things/ideas....snow tubing, laser shows, AC... but we didn't do any of them, mainly because I didn't push for them. His idea? go see Avatar. which we did (and it was pretty damn amazing). but it was over at 10. the night is still young right? wrong,...apparently. I wanted to go to a club after, I mentioned it half joking, half not. because the only local club is kinda lame. weird people, only somewhat good music, and only somewhat in the mood. wish there was some better options round these parts...in suburbia...then again, I don't think suburbia is exactly interested in having the best clubs this side of NJ. more sigh.

which leaves me here, writing this and drinking beer (only on #2...barely counts, especially on a Saturday), and C getting high, eating Cheetos (puffed, not crunchy), and watching Little Giants. I feel so old.

I miss going out with friends. I miss having (fun) plans instead of going out "obligations." I miss SPONTANEITY and RANDOMNESS. I'm tired of schedules and routines and monotany. I'm officially in a rut. and I'm only 26. ugh.

in other news, a friend of mine had this up as her status update, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
"...struggling to evade the past and fantasies bout the way it COULD be that just won't seem to stop taunting me."

Valentine's Day update soon-ish...

Currently listening to: "In the End" - Linkin Park

Happy President's Day!

SUCH AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!

My two favorite Staten Islanders (yes, I have friends that actually live there) came over on Saturday afternoon for Game Night.

Game Night

with my friend Marissa

are

epic.

It was awesome. Thye are vegan, so we had to get some non-carnivorous snacks at Whole Foods beforehand, but they were actually really good! [Tofu-chicken nuggets taste just like high school cafeteria nuggets...esp when drunk.] We played Apples to Apples, King's Cup, and Power Hour [cd made by Marissa...pretty good]. Yes, it was completely drunken, but so.much.fun. I sorely missed Game Night. We are thinking of hosting anotehr one very soon, and visiting Marissa and Deep [Marissa's bf, real name not Deep, but we can't pronounce it, so Deep he remains] in S.I. sometime in the not too distant future [ though may be a bit longer than they expect, as C has a cat allergy, and they have 2].

In other news, Valentine's Day was also fantastic. One of my biggest complaints is that C doesn't initiate dates. He doesn't plan,...I always have to do the planning if we go out, unless it's with his friends. Well this year, he did.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It has been a wonderful day!

...I would write about all the wonderful things that happened, but I am on my way to go see Valentine's Day with C...yay!

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

Game Night!

I said I would try to complete NaBloPoMo this month, even if it did start not on the first.

So tonight,....

I am playing Game Night with two people, one of my favorite couples, and it is AWESOME. and i am somewhat drunk.

YAY!!!

Where Did January Go?

The way I see it, I'm only 5 days late. Whatevs.

This month....


I like: that I finally upgraded my phone!

I don't like: that it's still really really cold out

I want you to know: that I'm going to start my 365 Project very soon...FO REAL this time

I've planned: a gamie night/weekend!

I want to say to someone special: I'm really happy you finished that damn video game.
_______________________________________________

Cruise was really fun. Though C has decided he doesn't love cruises. But it was a great lil getaway. It was 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. I realized I can't say "Bahamians" properly. The water was freezing, but the weather was warm. The only downside was the night I drank too much, got lost on the boat for over 45 minutes, missed the group picture at dinner, got mad/upset about missing said group picture, ran off, and wound up getting into a chocolate strawberry-throwing war with the bf. Only to wake up the next morning with a hangover the size of Montana and him screaming at me to get up and get towels because...

he overflowed the shower.

for real.

but after all that, we made up, and the trip was great. Oh wait, there were 2 other downsides:
1. I had to stay up until 4AM the night of the trip to do work (which I later got in trouble for, but that's for another post,...maybe) and only got 2 hours of sleep before getting in a cab, to take a train, to board the plane. Oof.

2. I got my period at 4AM the night of the trip. No vacation sex. Oof x100.

But overall, great time. Hopefully next time we'll stay a lil longer, though there's not much to see. But I would like to go to the Atlantis waterpark and go swimming.

I haven't written in a really really long time. I totally blew NaBloPoMo,...but that was on purpose due to teh trip. I was hoping to restart in February, which obviously didn't happen. Just observing. Later kiddies.

Pieces of Me- January 2010 Edition

I found this little game over at *Notes from the Toothfairy* and thought it looked fun, so I decided to join too!

This month....


I like: that I'm going on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas!
I don't like: that I have to go back to work after our 12-day holiday break
I want you to know: that I'm going to start my 365 Project very soon
I've planned: to buy the stupid coffee maker that I was supposed to receive as a Christmas present
I want to say to someone special: I understand your love of "DragonAge: Origins" but I wish we would spend more time doing things together.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I wound up watching "The Blind Side" last night. It was really good, though I thought in the end the guy would go back and help his brother, but he didn't even try to think about his past, which I thought was odd because they had just reconnected.

Then I woke up at around 1,  and C made "Country Breakfast"- sausage patty on a biscuit with a white creamy sauce. Yummmm. Though I should really get off my bum and start takin down our pretty (thought very dead) Christmas tree...

Day 1, 2010

So I joined National Blog Posting Month, aka NaBloPoMo.
Which means I will post once a day for a month, which brings me closer to completing my goal of finishing shit. Sah-weeet.

Last night was fun, though I'm a bit ambivalent about the beginning of a new year. I didn't bother with making any resolutions this year, because (as I never finish anything) I usually do whatever it is for a maximum of 3 months before I either forget about it or give up. So this year I am starting 101 in 1001 (see previous posts). Which is a pretty lofty idea for one who does not follow through on goals, but we shall see.

But I digress...

Last night we had another couple over for New Years celebration. I wasn't too thrilled with this idea at first because I really wanted to go to NYC to this amazing sounding loft party another friend had invited me (and C) to, but he didn't wanna go. But we played Kings Cup, my absolute favorite drinking game, and watched Times Square/Las Vegas hoopla/performances, and ate lots, and got drunk. And I realilzed the best part about staying in on a holiday is not worrying about how you are going to get home at the end of the night. Also, when you lose something (such as me misplacing my phone at some point), you know it is not gone forever.  Awe.Some.

In other news, I'm watching "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" because there was a marathon on the other day, and it now lives in my DVR and is taking up entirely too much space. Even though we just got a bootleg copy of Blindside which I would much rather watch. But alas, C has the remote. And I have the laptop. And I am trying to finish shit...dammit.

It's the episode on the Greek Islands. I just witnessed a bunch of guys drink alcohol from a gas can, skin and eat a lamb, and do some sort of Riverdance. The skinning was really really gross. I think one of the guys bit the lamb (pre-death). Ew.
