So whats going on with you?

Me - I just turned 21 on April 14th - I'm still working at Borders Books & Music in Stafford (Houston) Texas at near full time status, its going to be 3 years that I've been there this coming summer - and am going to school... however, I'm taking a break this semester by only taking one class (which is probably something I'll regret in the long run but I went full time for all of 2002 and need the rest), I plan to go back full time this fall. I dont know how many years I have left - I estimate 2 and a half more if all goes right... which it probably wont knowing my luck. Thankfully I'm doing better financially.

Other than that, I'm single - which is fine with me as a relationship is the absoulute last thing on my mind. I figure I need to make sure that I myself am not fucked up before I enter in one and bring that load onto someone else. Most of my time when not at work, which is way too much thesedays, is spent trying to recover energy at home... usually doing the internot thing, playing quake or shadowbane occasionally and trying to catch up in vain on all the books I'm reading All while constantly spinning some form of music... usually metal.

I've recently bought a guitar and practice amp and whenever I'm in the mood I plug it in and start making an awful racket, I have an awesome book that can teach you how to play but I really need to find time to start doing that regularly - working retail means your daily schedules are erratic and your routine is not stable. I'm also just beggining to try to work out more often - I always stop and start but this time I'm trying to stick for the long haul... its difficult though because I'm prone to leg muscle injuries alot it seems - another downside of working at that bookstore, its just outright painful most times (the work entails alot of bending down and up and whatnot - unhealthy muscle activity that screws you up)... it still hurts like hell to simply walk up a flight of stairs. I outta go see a doc soon.

Well.. baring any unforseen developments thats it really... now I've bared my stuff for all to see - lets hear everyone elses.

I'm in love for the first time in a very long time.
That's all that matters.

Hoping to go to college once my sight stabalizes, other than that, nothing much else is going on.

I lead a very uneventful life, no?

yes yo do - heh - tell us about it.

My own cousin asked the girl I was really into out before I did. I'm just trying to wait until they break up, still trying to get another girl along the way...

For the first time in a while, I'm getting good grades in school. Gaming seems more interesting than ever. Tae Kwon Do is pretty fun. I'm enjoying everything more. Why? I have no freaking clue. Oh, and I'm really interested in this girl who seems to be interested in me, which is a first.

Aside from that, I need to get around to getting my temps, as well as picking up my guitar again.

That's it. ...I'm not complaining.

:D

Finals is coming up. Then I'm going to China with my research group with stops in S.Korea, Japan and India. Then I'm coming back to Kate's house in Fort Worth until school starts. Other than that I'm trying to beat Super Metroid in less than an hour and a half. Might be getting a new apartment as well. Exciting eh?

Heh, like anyone's really interested in hearing about my life. Here's the super-condensed version:

1. Graduating college in May, assuming I pass my classes. Doesn't look too bright in that area, which sucks considering I'm normally a straight-A student...

2. I've managed to alienate almost everyone that matters to me (no, not intentionally); seems like all my family/friends and I are either fighting or not speaking to each other.

3. Job Hunting Current Status: Nothing yet. I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to get a decent job in this recession...

4. I got two poems published recently.

5. I want to take up an instrument, but can't decide between guitar, bass, or mandolin.

That's probably enough.

Though I must admit, the thought of a big butterball like me playing a tiny little mandolin is kinda amusing...

I turned 21 on April 12th. I didn't do anything I would call special to celebrate it, since I had to work the next day. A couple of friends and myself hit a local Ale House and just hung out. As for work, I can't believe how much fun I'm having. I work for the Florida Marlins, and being able to watch a baseball game while getting paid for it is unreal. I love my job even more now that the Marlins have hired cheerleaders. Cheerleaders in baseball? Bonus!
