So I have a date on valentine day... I met a guy at work named Jesse and after chit chatting for a while he asked me if I would like to catch a movie. I agreed to go on a date with him and we made plans for next tuesday without really even thinking about the day was. Turns out I have Valentine plans after all...
I am just dating though... Not anything serious or exclusive. I'm not getting in to deep with anything because I want to take time to consider my options and explore myself. I think that going on dates with a few guys is a good learning experience for me. This way I can see what's out there for me.. I think I know what I want but you never know when minds can change.
In other news I have gone baby crazy. All my friends, with the exception of Marra, are having or have had babies. I want an adorable pink bundle of joy/poop machine to love. I can't wait to be a mum some day. I think that my mum taught me well enough that if I did have a baby, I would be a great momma bear.

What do I want?
I know what everyone else wants, I can tell you what all of my friends and family want. I can tell you what goals they have, what hopes they have. I can tell you their fantasies contain in most cases...
What I cannot tell you is what I want, at least not off the top of my head. I think I spend so much time trying to make everyone else's dream come true, I forget to think about my own. I didn't know what my own goals were.
So, I fixed it. I wrote my goals down and put them on the fridge. They are on the fridge so I see them every day. On that damn fridge they will stay.

The plan
I hate having plans on the whole, but these days I think I could use one. I have spent years wandering around 1/2 asleep and numb to how much needs to be done to take care of myself and someone else.
I have been sitting in my apartment and picking out the flaws for something to do, and trying to come up with a plan for the rest of my year. Mostly I am just stressing over a plan that may/may not be headed into a tail spin.
Right now I am laying in bed and can just vaguely smell the distinct smell of a man. I am waiting on the man belonging to that smell to arrive at my apartment this morning. It has me all keyed up and nervous.
Am I rambling? I'm rambling. Back to the topic of plans we go!!!
I made a plan, or goals, or whatever you want to call them. I sat down and I wrote them out. 3 for each topic, 7 topics in total. I tried to do a short, medium and long term goal, but for some things that just isn't possible.
You would not believe how hard it can be to write out goals. Especially relationship goals when you're not in a relationship. I also found spirituality a hard one... I took a lot of time to think that one through. I am mostly ambivalent towards religion and spirituality on the whole but I finally managed to pick 3 things for my goals.
I will post the list in a little while, right now I should be sleeping and waiting for the man that belongs to the smell of my bed to come find me.
Cheers

What I know now.
When you get out on your own, you get bored really fast, and after a while you figure out it's because you spent 90% of your time doing shit for other people... So then you fill your time with stuff that seems pointless, but then you suddenly realize, that pointless stuff is actually the stuff you love, like painting, reading, dancing, and brushing cats.... Then you get happy.
Back!!!
So I know I have been absent for a while. I moved into my new place and my phone stopped working so I had 0 internet for the longest time. Thankfully my phone is back up and working so I can keep you updated from here.
The new place is pretty awesome. It has a few things to be fixed but it's pretty great all around. Beautiful hardwood floors and we finally got some window dressings up.
Marra and I are making due and things are working themselves out, slowly. Her boyfriend is pretty great and I am still single. It is a nice feeling.
I will post pictures soonish :)

Daily weirdo.
Today work went by quite quickly and as close to normal as you would expect. Then most of the way through my shift I received a call from one of the legendary weirdo's that always seem to find me.
That call started out with my normal call opening which was answered not with a standard greeting from the customer but with "DO YOU BELIEVE IN JEEZUS?!" being screamed in my ear. All I could do is respond with "Sure, but I don't think that has much to do with printers."
After getting his information and getting his printer confirmed, he then told me he was glad that I wasn't one of those N#&&@rs from Hispania(?), I calmly explained that I would prefer he stop referring to people of middle eastern descent in India with that word. He then started asking me what my heritage was and where my family came from, and all I could do was try to steer him back to his printer issue.
When we finally got to the issue, it turned out he was printing on paper that had 2 illustrations on 8.5 x 11 paper... like a story book. Problem was, the illustrations were pre-printed the wrong way for the printer so the text was coming upside down. If you turned the page around it printed the right way up but on the wrong picture. He then wanted to know if he could take out his printhead from his printer and turn it around. I advised him that a) laserjet printers do not have printheads and b) you can't just turn printheads around and make it print backwards. He responded with "Well I did it with my officejet." and I asked him what happened to the officejet, and he retorted with "Well after I put them in backwards the printheads blew up and it stopped working."
Unfortunately the settings in the program he was using were overriding even the most basic ones for the printer. Being tech support I am trained to fix the printers settings and obviously prove functionality. However that is not on every obscure software system on the planet. When I explained this was not our issue and that he would have to call his software provider, he kinda, sorta, lost his shit.
He started screaming that it was our fault and that we were just lying to him to make him look stupid. At this point I was growing increasingly amused with his rantings but little did I know the best was yet you come.
Everything when completely silent for a moment and then he yelled "I will destory you with an apocalyptic hellfire from Jesus!" I nearly died laughing my face off. The poor people around me looked confused but I literally couldn't stop laughing my ass off.
To top it off, the thick hilly billy twang added the most ridiculously over the top effect to the whole call that made my day that much better.
Thank you ridiculous hilly billy Jesus freak. <3

No news
I know sometimes they say no news is good news, but totally not tonight. I am bored to death. I spent the majority of my night last night listen to Marra's slightly neurotic friend jibber jabber and then watched Full Metal Jacket for the rest of the evening.
Today I took 2 tylenol 3's before work to make my insides stop hurting. I must say the mild haze I get makes me far more pleasant on the phones. I also found out I have an RPC of $ 27. Which is amazing. I am thoroughly pleased with myself to be honest.
Oh, and I was told last night that I am "part vagina, part sexual predator and part light up velcro shoe." I feel it is a pretty accurate description.
My best friend is moving in with a drugged out chicka too, not sure how I feel about this but at the same time, totally not my issue.
Iunno. I'm just blathering.

My weekend
My weekend has been spent lounging blissfully around the apartment. I made a point to learn some new recipes and I think I have come up with a few sauces for wings. I now just need to find a sauce for hot and suicide wings.
I got into a screaming match with Dana again. I just wanted some time alone and I wasn't being granted that courtesy. In fact it is a courtesy I hadn't been given in 6 months time. It is disturbing how much human companionship can drive you crazy after so much time together. I guess I finally yelled enough since he finally left the apartment and gave me the much needed alone time...
Either way, I feel a little less crowded and a little less crazy. Tomorrow I look forward to coming home from work and cooking myself a delicious meal of stuffed peppers and wings. Just sayin'
