Yet another boring "real life" entry
Sep. 27th, 2008 11:47 pmCatherine leaves for a semester in Spain tomorrow, so we went to Panera last night and hung out before she has to leave. Of course, I forgot her thank you note for the birthday gifts. I’m going to have to mail it to her, but it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes to get there. We were able to test iChat tonight, and although the image quality is quite bad, the sound quality makes up for it, and it’s still more personal than just chatting on AIM.
If I didn’t already have plans on Friday, I would have ended up at Friday Night Figure Drawing. This guy named Kurt I’ve been talking to on MySpace asked if I ever go and said he’d be going last night. I have to admit that I’m kind of into him. He’s 26, looks like the lovechild of David Duchovny and Keanu Reeves, can type a thought-out coherent sentence with correct punctuation, is a college graduate, works for a design firm, is a Tolkien and Star Wars fan, and is an illustrator who works in a style similar to the artists for Marvel Comics. He’s also a Cancer, so I’m not surprised we’re getting along fairly well. I don’t feel nervous at all, which is a first. If I don’t find anything better at the Children of Bodom concert this week, I’m definitely going to give him a shot. I know I’m being presumptuous that he’s even interested in me, but I don’t think he would have sought me out in the first place, started messaging me, and diligently replied to everything I’ve sent him if he isn’t. Even if that is the case, I could definitely use more friends.
However, it always seems that whenever something in my life is headed in a positive direction, there are unknown forces acting against it. As you know, I don’t have much of a social life, so I rarely have any kind of plans, let alone ones that conflict with each other. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to Friday Night Figure Drawing next week or the following. I hope Kurt and I are still in contact by then, otherwise I won’t be going because I’m not required to go this semester. If I still end up going then, I’ll have to miss my mom’s birthday. The week prior, I have an orthodontist appointment that is guaranteed to be just as gory as the previous one, and this week I’ll be picked up from The Rave before or into the wee hours of Friday morning. I don’t want to spend the money to keep my car down there for the week just so I can go to this concert and possibly have to deal with being alone and vulnerable at 2:00 AM in what is not exactly the greatest neighborhood in the city.
On a completely vain and frivolous note, I got my hair done today because I was starting to look like Slash again, and it’s straight!
( See? )
I haven’t had my hair cut since March when it was a few inches above my shoulders, and it’s coming along nicely. I’m still planning on letting it grow several inches so it’ll still be long when it’s curly.
I also really wanted to go to the movies and see if Choke is as good as the book, but I haven’t and won’t be able to find the time before I have to go back. I know I'll only have to wait five days, but I've been anxiously awaiting this for a while. I just think it’s strange that out of all of Palahniuk’s books (other than Fight Club obviously), they chose to make that one into a film. I think Diary and Survivor would make excellent movies.
