How was your day?

[VerrKol]

So finals are over for me as of Friday and I'm optimistically terrified about my grades. Now that it's over the waiting begins but I'm not too nervous about it since it's out of my hands now.

To celebrate the end of finals, some friends and I decided to do some drinking to forget the experience. I of course invited the girl I had gone out with a few times, but hadn't seen in person recently due to being busy with studies. My friends meet up with her friends at a yogurt land style bar with a ton of variety of beer. I'm not a big beer drinker myself (I get very nauseous after a pint), but I volunteered to drive so it wasn't a problem. When she shows up she brings along a male coworker which in and of itself isn't a problem. But I've been looking forward to seeing her and getting to talk with her again, so it's rather disappointing and not a little bit frustrating that she spends the entire night getting drunk with him and effectively ignores me. At this point I'm rather confused and wondering if I missed something. So the night continues with them acting close and sharing food etc. Then she invites us back to her place for drinks (it's now around 3am) and her friend very obviously has no way to get back for the night. This problem is brushed off when her friend asks about it and I catch a remark from another about her "choosing". At this point I can take a hint and decide to bow out gracefully while I still can. I get home rather pissed that she showed up when I invited her out with this guy and then proceeded to ignore me all night. We hadn't been out that often and there was certainly no discussion of a relationship let alone exclusivity but I didn't expect her to do this in front of me.

Now I get a text from her apologizing that we never got a chance to talk and saying that she "really wanted to make her coworker feel comfortable". I am so pineappleing confused. I was ready to write her off this morning and let it go peaceably since I really like hanging out with this group of people, but now I'm second guessing my read on things last night and wondering if I leapt to the wrong conclusions.

I enjoyed spending time with this girl and I think our dates went well, but I'm not interested in competing against some other guy. At all. This is way outside my dating experience.

PS I need to buy people Christmas presents!!!

EDIT: So now she's texted me (without prompting) and apologized for not getting a chance to talk to me and that she just wanted to make sure her friend was comfortable since he since he didn't know anyone else there. Now I feel like a presumptive pimento, though I hope she doesn't think so herself. I'm still confused about how things went the way they did but she's leaving tonight to move back to LA since she graduated so it's all moot. I wish I had had a better chance to say goodbye, but it's just as well I suppose.

Trying to plan my family's itinerary for our holiday but every suggestion is getting shot down by my shut in sister who'd rather stay in doors and play maplestory all day.

I heavily regret introducing her to this game so many years ago.

Seriously though, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO GO KAYAKING TO SEE CUTE SEALS?

[Mute]

As much as I think I can move on, I just can't.

I saw this today in Akihabara

It's just L4D. arcade style with "japanese" skins for the characters. What's interesting is how they use a mouse, and the little nubby-thing from the Wii controllers as the controllers for the game.

It started out good, but then it got worse and worse. Got back to Columbus last night, and it seems that this is no longer "going home" so much as it's just "visiting my parents". I just don't feel like I belong here anymore, there's too much back in Montreal.

I'm so sad.

I am up way too early for being on Christmas break.
Going to catch the 7am ferry to the mainland and head quite a ways north to celebrate Christmas with Stephens relatives. It's our first time spending Christmas together since I was in the States last year. So these that. Plus I'll be visiting a part of BC that I've never been before.

Just got back from Moscow. Damn that was a long 16 hour flight.

Moscow -> JFK (10 hours)
JFK -> SEA (5.5 hours)

My day has been wonderful; I caught up on a lot of sleep. I also got Bootcamp running on my Mac, so I'm excited to return to MS after 2 years.

[KhainiWest]

A terrible weekend to be honest. I really don't have the courage or really the energy to talk about it

[Terebii]

Just as I was looking for a new pair of headphones, I get a Christmas package from the girl I like. Inside are.... Sennheiser headphones.

I recently got accepted into Western Washington University and University of Colorado Colorado Springs!

Both have cool Education and Study Abroad programs so I'm very satisfied right now. Probably will go to Western for the instate tuition.

your story that I am editing out to make this not unnecessarily stretch the page

Now I ain't no expert on these matters but it seems like things between them didn't work out and you were the backup option. I tend to think the worst of people, though.

I'm so bored. I wish I could do more stuff every day but there's just not enough time for anything lately.

[PoetryIsFail]

Took a mad trip down memory lane by finding some very old paper drawings and computer files and downloading a trial version of Art Rage, letting me view my early 2013 digital drawings.

damn

I have to work later today, I am extremely lazy this break and don't wanna do anything though. Final grades came in, and I'm extremely pleased because I was expecting much worse.

Spoiler

Pretty much almost done with my transfer to UT Austin, I just have to find a replacement for my lease. I'm working on cleaning my apartment here in San Antonio and posting an ad to craigslist, hopefully someone will snag it before the end of January or I'm gonna be in some trouble.

Looking forward to the pomegranatestorm of a drama this is going to spark. I love me some social media drama

So my entire family cheated death.

We went on a 2-3 hour drive up to my grandmas to see her for christmas, and we have 2 cars, one that my mum uses and one that my dad uses. Usually for the big trips we use my dads car, because it is cheap and reliable (doesn't use much fuel, has barely ever broken down), but this time my dad decided to use the other car.

Fastforward slightly to today when my dad used his car to get to work and the back axle fell off and the wheel came off. If we had been using that car on the motorway going 70 miles per hour... I don't even wanna think about it.

A in cosmology, Bayesian, classical algebra, and topology.
B+ in quantum and E&M.

3.770 this semester. Kind of disappointed. I should have done better and gotten an A in E&M if I didn't pineapple up the final so bad.

I suppose this is possible, but there are so many inconsistencies that I can't seem to find something that actually makes sense of everything. She must have changed her mind at least twice to get this much back and forth. I'm disappointed that I managed to misjudge her that badly, but not very upset about it ending abruptly. I deserve better than whatever her problem is.

Went skating with my girlfriend on sunday and she helped me get better since I suck ass at skating. Then yesterday I went to my girlfriends cottage with her and her mom and sister for a night of skiing. I hadn't skied in 5 years and when I went on the hill I couldn't slow down and just ate pomegranate. It was funny and I got a lot better by the end of the night (I could make it to the bottom without falling :F2:). Then hot tub and cuddling in bed together. Best winter break yet.

Got my biggest paycheck so far! Still only ~$630 dollar for 2 weeks of work

Plus my hours for next week are only 12. Just 12 hours. I'm looking for a new job, because they clearly don't give a damn about me trying to survive off what they give me at Michael's
