Music is my forte. Not everyone likes what I do, and I don't always like what everyone else does. That's why it's so great - in music lies the truest form of diversity. Just a random thought as I'm doing some research, listening to my mp3 player.
Taking a little break, thought I'd hop over and update right quick, dig around LJ a bit. Don't know how much I've said this - but I really like my new job. I actually get excited every time I go into the office or sit down to research and write out proposals. I love the small little feeling of panic that explodes in my chest when they give me something new to do. I love the little thoughts in my head "can I really do this, is this what I do, what if I screw it up!?" But then when I email and hand over the hard copies of everything and I hear "great job, you're really doing wonderfully," or when they come to me and ask "we need your opinon/okay for this, tell us what you think" it just makes it so awesome. No full-time yet, but I guess that's okay. I still have OMAX and even though I rather dislike it, it keeps me busy going between the two. And better yet - I'm managing it well, I think. I'm not all that stressed out, and if I am it's the good kind that motivates me to finish everything, not the old-usual "cripes! ah, I'm going to explode!" Kinda nice. Right now I'm working on creating a tutiorial for some software we use so that the office can be a little more efficient.
Friends: I really do have the greatest friends (incidentally if I texted anyone else the other night - sorry...Jack was not my friend that night). Friday night, me and Vive went and saw Black Christmas - if you're a cheesy B-Horror movie buff, this is a great movie. Just this side of cheesy gore and rediculous plot, it's not a bad way to spend a Friday night. We wound up heading out for drinks and Clark's after Dark diner. Many fun times. Last night, I went up and had dinner with Phillip at his place while the husband's out of town (incidentally I found out one of my favorite college proffesors [Dr. Bradshaw!] lives in his building! - Jesus, Chicago is a small town). We watched Material Girls - trust me, I did not pick the movie. Gag. But then we went to Big Chicks for a couple pitchers. While there, I ran into a few old friends from when I first moved here. I danced and got checked out and had a really great time. Some guy got a little fresh and asked if I wanted to go back his place, and I said "Thank you, but I'm not really out for that tonight." Makes a boy feel special, it does. I also got home quite sober and got up this morning to head into the office for a few hours. How responsible!
( Just a few other things I've been thinking about lately, if you're inclined. Not really important, though. )
Anyway, enough philosophy and self-analysis. Time to get back to work. These summaries aren't going to write themselves.
Also, expect L2bL 25 to be coming soon:)
