For her birthday I bought my wife one of those romance novels that you order and give info about what she looks like, what her name is, if she has a dog/cat and what it's name is, etc., and it makes her the heroine and you're the hero who she falls in love with and whatnot. It's so cheesy but she loves it and I'm happy and we had a good day off together today.

Yessir, after years of heartbreak the internet finally slipped up and matched me with someone wonderful.
I deleted my old profile on there, but I still check in using a blank one from time to time just to chat with people. Are you still on? Anything good come of it?
I am drinking good beer and listening to some good powerful music and I'm like "man, this is the life."
I haven't felt serious stress in a long time except work-related stress, and thats all due to other people being stupid or whatnot. I'm picking up an extra shift tomorrow, five hours which isn't a biggie, and its to cover a shift for my coworker who is sick, a coworker that I happen to quite enjoy as a person so I'm not begrudged in the slightest.
I'm pretty broke right now, but I'm making my ends meet while still enjoying a robust life. If I penny-pinched I could be saving more right now, but I don't have a lot of time left to hang out with my friends before we all part ways so I'm living it up a little.
I finally know what I want to study, I know how I want to go about that goal, and I finally feel motivated to go back to school and finish my education. It is wonderfully liberating to know that, for the first time in your life, I actually have a concrete (and achievable) plan about what I want to be when I'm 30+.
I recently made some progress with a lady and it upped my confidence on that front. I've been single for so long its like I've forgotten how a person does the whole dating thing. And I don't even care, thats the best part. I'm just doing whatever feels the most organic and its working and to hell with the consequences. In ways I feel like I'm 19 again.
Oh, and I guess the most important part is I've thrown out a lot of my old rules. Finally. After saying I would a year and a half ago and not doing it.
And I just had an eyelash in my eye and christ it was uncomfortable but I got it out, no problems, and now my eye feels so relieved, dogs.

Hurray for the internet!
As for me, I never really gave it serious effort. I've got a profile that I check... um, more frequently than I'd like to admit, but I haven't messaged anyone in ages.
I suppose as I approach male spinsterhood I'll have to take more drastic measures. On another note, I can't believe Firefox recognizes 'spinsterhood' as a word.

This place makes me incredibly happy. It's in the Florida Keys. This place is pretty much perfection to me...it has a really small-town feel to it, none of that overly touristy feeling that plagues Key West, and driving through the Keys you really get this incredible sense of remoteness and isolation. It's about a nine-hour drive from where I live, so I usually go down there a few times every year and just get a room for the weekend, relax, go fishing, and enjoy the peace.
I got a similar feeling from North Shore on Oahu in Hawaii, but, you know, that's pretty far away.

Oh man, I know the checking thing and then just... not messaging people thing. When it's the same people on the same list the novelty wears off pretty quickly.
Perhaps it is time for a horrible okcupid thread. Perhaps it should wait until 2010. Hmm.
Actually, what year of CompSci are you in? Or is it CompEng? Or are you in a masters program? I can never remember these things.

My first thought when I saw that photo, was, oh no, it looks like a giant area has been flooded.
What makes me happy? knowing my life is in order and I have a career where I make enough money to buy the things I want.

Seriously, though, what makes me happy is the fact that my wife gets back from her trip tomorrow; it's been 4 weeks since I last saw her and this is the last night I get to sleep alone for a while.
I always like the space I get when she goes away, but I also miss her while she's away and dearly look forward to her return.
Oh man and I should mention that I have two new scenes that may make it into my story or they might just linger on as blurbs that may one day be incorporated into the main novel project.
Furthermore, other things that make me happy include: Wiretap on CBC, thanks to Rank. Also a working computer.
Things that make me angery: A broken stupid dumb computer, nothing to draw on, an uncomfortable chair, and this goddamn mouse that's picking at something in the room, or the walls, or I don't know where it is but I wish it would just die.
I'm in my senior year of a plain old BS of CS, but because of problems.jpg I'm gonna be taking 5 years
so my second to last year, pretty much
I've thought about graduate school but I think I'll probably get a job at least for a while. Get money get paid, you know.
I know the feeling, and have been there (and am currently there). And yeah, masters in CS doesn't really do much, from what I hear. What you want is to put those skills to use and become a bitter old database admin making a measly $150 000 a year for a contracting company. "Tossrock can you build us a company database that only we can see... and that we can host our powerpoint files on?"
Man it is a bad idea for me to work in certain parts of the Target I work at
Kitchen stuff? Oh man I want these kitchen appliances!
Halloween? Dammit I want this candy!
Toys? I want this nerf minigun! Fuck!
I feel this way about my job as well, since we supply our state with the neatest volleyball stuff
to date I have purchased kneepads, a volleyball strategy board and a beach volleyball crop top... and I'll have to buy ANOTHER crop top along with playing bottoms for the tournaments
I am so tempted to also purchase a beach volleyball and the knee-high socks for indoor and a whistle for coaching/refereeing and a drink bottle and a volleyball carry bag and a beach volleyball visor/cap thing and sand socks all kinds of nifty stuff

hey come on now, you can't keep him all to yourself
let's share
Marathon, Florida.
This place makes me incredibly happy. It's in the Florida Keys.

yes I can
watch me
we'll both watch you
from the bedroom
Oh man, I know the checking thing and then just... not messaging people thing. When it's the same people on the same list the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

Actually, what year of CompSci are you in? Or is it CompEng? Or are you in a masters program? I can never remember these things.
did you know that there is a hardcore/powerviolence (yes that is a subgenre) band called Charles Bronson?
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
My first thought when I saw that photo, was, oh no, it looks like a giant area has been flooded.
Satans..... hints.....
I was all ready to run off to you and then I find that you're dating this hussy
(seriously dude, congrats)
so my second to last year, pretty much
I've thought about graduate school but I think I'll probably get a job at least for a while. Get money get paid, you know.

Plus, you know, nudity.
Kitchen stuff? Oh man I want these kitchen appliances!

Toys? I want this nerf minigun! Fuck!
Satans..... hints.....
that makes me sad
der
Just be glad it is not women's underwear.
Satans..... hints.....
hooray
Decisions, decisions!
Men actually aren't allowed to work in those sections
it's slightly awkward, though, when I get called up to the front lane and there's some lady with her boyfriend buying like ten thongs on clearance
"So, uh, his or hers?"
Things that make me angery: A broken stupid dumb computer, nothing to draw on, an uncomfortable chair, and this goddamn mouse that's picking at something in the room, or the walls, or I don't know where it is but I wish it would just die.
Yeah well you are kind of a whore.

well according to YOU sometimes the sand here gets too hot to walk on barefoot
