  • Update

    Wow it's been over a year since I've posted something. Not sure why I stopped. Guess I got too busy with school and work and I started some other art / design related blogs that I've also failed to update.

    So what's happened since the last time I posted? Well in a nutshell I moved into the city (SF), met some really great people, made a friend, who became a girlfriend of sorts, who I later broke up with while drunk (my worse breakup talk ever). And now I'm single again. And the friends I made were all friends with the girl I broke up with so I probably wont be hanging out with them anytime soon. Awkward.

    Anyway, not sure when I'll be back to this thing. But just checking in.

  • Facebook Pickup

    No I didn't pickup someone up on facebook. Someone picked me up. And that's why I'll be friends with any pretty girl who wants to be friends with me on facebook. Actually it wasn't really a pickup. Some girl who asked to be friends with me a long time ago who I didn't know but looked cute and knew a couple acquaintances of mine IM'd me via facebook. And the rest is history. Or rather the rest is an exchange of emails indicating that we should meet up sometime for dinner. Updates to come.

  • So I "met" this girl in DC. The reason met is in quotes was because I was drunk and don't remember her name and didn't get any contact info from her. So...did we really "meet." (Yes, that's why I always bring a camera) Anyway we met at this bar and by that time I'd probably had about 3 beers, a glass of wine, and a couple cran-vodkas so my memory is a little hazy. So we made a little small talk, and then went to club, did a little dancing and made out on the dance floor. I distinctly remember licking her shoulder. Yuck. I hate it when I get sloppy. I'm sure she wasn't happy either but who remembers? Though she stuck around and I do have pictures of her looking relatively happy that she's in a picture with me. But maybe that was before I became a tongue monster.

    Anyway near the end of the night she and her friend were about to leave and my friend had to ask me if I got her number. Nope. "Well go get it!" Oh okay. When I get drunk the attainment of current or future sex is sometimes not on the forefront of my mind. So I chase her down and ask her for her number and she's like "I'll see you tomorrow at your friends going away party." (I have the distinct feeling this was said in the tone one would use when confronting a lost puppy. Like, "Aw look at this lost puppy he doesn't know his way home.")

    At this point a couple of thoughts go through my mind in this exact order. "If my friend asked me if I had her number then he probably doesn't have it. Maybe he has her friend's number? If none of us has each others contact info then there's no way she'll be able to find his party. This is some kind of blowoff. I need to get back to the club and have another drink." I think somewhere before the last thought there probably should have been a thought like, "Let me get her email address." Or "let me assure her that I'm not from here so I'll probably never call her at least not for another six months so she should just give me her number just in case." Or "Sorry I don't usually lick girls shoulders but I'm extremely drunk now and if you give me your number I promise never to lick your shoulders again."

    But unfortunately the last thought won out and smashed the other thoughts down with it's need for more alcohol and so I said, "Ok."

    I think this is the first time I've ever made out with a girl and not gotten her number. If you made out with someone wouldn't you want to see what they were like when they weren't drunk and licking your shoulder? I would.

  • DC

    Last weekend I went to DC to visit my friend who's being shipped off to Afghanistan. He's in the airforce doing diplomatic stuff so it's not too dangerous but it's still not good. Anyway the quick recap:

    Friday: (7pm) arrive in DC, drinks, dinner, bar, drinks, meet girls, drinks, club, make out with girl, drinks, say good bye to girl, drinks, leave bar, food, pushed down by friend, skin elbow, sleep.(4am)

    Saturday: (10am) breakfast, mimosas, errands, lunch, margaritas, pool party, daiquiris, dinner, drinks, shots, salsa dancing, shots, shots, shots, pizza, shots, swimming pool, sleep.(8am)

    Sunday: (12pm) Soccer game, pizza, beer, wine, martinis, gentlemen's club, pizza, sleep. (3am)

    Monday: (6am) leave DC, coughing, arrive Tennessee, sneezing, arrive SF, sick.

    I guess my body wasn't prepared. I'm mostly recovered now but still slightly coughy and phlegmy. My friend will be back in 6 months and I'll be back in DC for the welcome back party. His only request is that I send him alcohol (disguised in listerine containers) and porn.

  • girls, match.com, ex gf

    I saw a girl I met on speed dating a couple years ago on match.com recently. We matched up on speed dating but nothing came of it because I met my exgf. Another girl I met on speed dating was also on match.com but she blogged about her dates and they kicked her off. Too bad. Her dates were interesting. I'm not on match but I signed up once to see who was on there. I think there were like 5 girls who were cute in my area. They still send me the emails. The other girls should take better pictures.

    My ex gf called last week and wanted to hang out; go skydiving or something. (Must be bored of current bf) She has a list of things she wants to do before she dies. I like to think that what was interesting about me to her was that I'd already done a lot of things she wanted to do on the list. Anyway since I've already been skydiving I told her I wasn't going again. However I'd go bunging jumping, but after doing some research I found it's almost as expensive as skydiving so maybe I will go skydiving again. And maybe I can get her to pay. (Unlikely)

    She called again the other day asking to borrow some software. She just bought a mac and she wanted to know if I had anything I could give her. Luckily(!?) a friend gave me some pirated software so I'll probably install that on her computer. The problem with dating her was that I could never say no. (prob because she was quite hot) Once she asked me to save a spider that was in the middle of the parking lot. But she wouldn't let me grab it for fear I'd kill it. I had to like escort/shoo it to the safety of the bushes. I couldn't say no. So anyway she asked me to install the software that day and like a champ I held my resolve and said, "I can't today...how about tomorrow?" I later realized that was silly too so I text'd her that it'd have to be next week. Must not listen to her siren song.

  • $4.95

    I've been using an online bank account/credit card aggregator called mint.com for a few months. It's pretty cool if you don't mind giving your online bank login to a third party company. You just check one site and it tells you all the charges on all your cards.

    Which was good because the other day I found a charge for $4.95! It was on a card I don't use and don't carry around so I was immediately suspicious. I called the credit card company and got the number for the company that charged me and did a google on the phone number. Turns out this company has been charging a lot of people $4.95. I guess it's such a small amount that no one pays any attention to it. Anyway that $4.95 is precious to me so I had the credit card company credit me the $4.95 and issue me a new card.

  • just like on TV

    Conversation with a friend:

    "How's work?"
    "Uh...I quit."
    "When!"
    "About 3 weeks ago."
    "Wait. How come this if the first I've heard of it?"
    "…it's a secret."
    "So…your wife doesn't know?"
    "No. Though I think she might be getting suspicious."
    "So you've been pretending to go to work for 3 weeks?"
    "Yeah."
    "When are you going to tell her?"
    "When I get another job."
    "Ah, okay."
