Christ, I made out with at least two people last night. Never met either one before. One of them just happened to be at the bar at midnight and neither of us had anyone to kiss and uh... Whoops.

Jeez. I am terrible.

More is coming back. One of them was 51 and I seriously considered sleeping with her. One of them has my phone number. Apparently when I left the bar I said 'I have to go home, I'm pulling too many women.'

In blog news, Facebook seems to think I got engaged on NYE, I'm suddenly getting tons of "getting married soon?", "recently got engaged?" ads. I have no idea why, I am definitely not engaged. I think I'd remember being proposed to.

thanks for the birthday wishes you guys! I generally hate birthdays (being a New Year's baby can be annoying, everybody remembers your birthday whether or not you know them) but this year was great. one of the best on record. I managed to get out of town and into San Francisco, where my friend played a house show. between me, the friend playing, and 2 others, we pickled ourselves in half a handle of Bulleit bourbon and acted a fool and had a fantastic time. and then my friend Coco (his name's Cody but fuck that) spent 2 hours throwing up and my buddy and I handled him like pros. that's love, folks.

(posted this in the random thoughts thread, but it's more of a blog post so I removed it and pasted it here)

sitting in the train back to Karlsruhe. Should arrive in about 40 minutes.

It's the first time I got a working internet connection on this trip. These trains are officially supposed to have WiFi. But the uplink didn't seem to work for most of the time.

I am fucking tired. I didn't sleep last night, because I had to pack all my stuff. Let's hope I didn't forget anything terribly important. I slept in the train, probably even for about 4 hours, but that isn't a good replacement for sleeping in a bed. But it's enough to keep me up and running until I went to the shop and arrived back home. Tomorrow is sunday and the day after is a public holiday in this state (something I really need to get used to. The state of Baden-Württemberg has so many more holidays than Schleswig-Holstein. Probably because there the catholic holidays are public ones too. So yeah, I need to go buy some food so I can survive the next two days. And then I can sleep.

I do believe that having slow, unreliable Internet access is worse than having none at all. For the past fortnight, we've had no phone or Internet at home, because a component  in the BT-owned part of the network had degraded. After someone came to fix that it, they also moved the master socket to a more convenient location (I have no idea what that does to the demarcation point, since we bought and installed the extra line ourselves a year or so back) and also changed the socket for one with an ADSL filter built in. Now we have Internet access again, but with frequent connection loss and only at 280 kbps. Whee!

  • but will you understand

So, sort of been working on a couple of those resolutions I listed in that thread.

Not exactly according to goals or plan, but been in a fairly pleasant place since the 1st. Even without genital orgasms or kissing, I had (what amounts to me) months of pleasurable physical contact in a couple hours, and BOY HOWDY that helps half-placate my high libido and general malaise for a while.

Actually we're only a few days in, but 2014 is shaping up well. A long overdue private rant of emotions to myself and God, some long overdue physical playtime, dinner yesterday with the girlfriend I've been missing for months, the confirmation that Amber isn't dead, increased awareness of and opposition to Indiana HJR-6, continued recognition of my worth at the new job... hell, I've almost been feeling like things are going well.

I know that feeling can't last... at the end of the day I'm still me, and people and the world still are what they are. I've been depressed for much of the last third of the year, it's not really unusual for me to swing back upwards for a while anyway, and it's hard to tell causes and effects from inside a busted head sometimes. But still, it's really, really nice for now, right? And maybe I can chip away at the cycle a bit more this go-around, make it that much easier to survive and thrive in on the next downturn.

So this was possibly the best New Years Eve on record, mainly for the fact my girlfriend and I bought our plane tickets to New Zealand - we're off in October. Feels like forever to wait but due to EVERYBODY IN THE FAMILY getting married this year (thankfully, not to each other), we've had to postpone the trip a bit. Gives us longer to save up too. Going to fuckin' surf, swim with Dolphins, and probably move in to Hobbiton and never, ever leave.

It's nice to be back on the forums, I haven't been here in a while.

So guess it's my birthday today.

In other news, I have the following things to do:

* clean up my room
* take out the trash
* make a list of who I want to attend my birthday party
** actually figure out what I want to do for my birthday party - never organized one before
** figure out how to coordinate the different people I want to be there because some of them are basically mutually exclusive *sigh*
* do math homework for tomorrow
* read up on the homework me and my partner were supposed to do together and that he did alone - I need to be able to explain what he did by tomorrow
* write up my TA report for three weeks ago - until Tuesday
* write up my TA report for tomorrow - until Tuesday
* write up what has been happening in the last few weeks for my therapist, because there is no way in hell I won't forget something unless I have notes - until Friday

Happy birthday, Pat!

I was there and you weren't proposed to. I think it was two days later that I raised the possibility me of marrying one of your younger siblings though.

Loki, happy birthday!

You guys you guys you guys last night my friend told me to save a date and then said "actually save the night before and the day after too" and then she TOTALLY ASKED ME TO BE HER BRIDESMAID AT HER WOODLAND TEA PARTY WEDDING I am so excited about this.

TSK, was that in response to me? The wedding isn't until June, there are not yet any photos! I am currently on a wedding cake quest - vegan and gluten free, due to an awkard mix of guests (the vegan part isn't just my fault, someone is lactose intolerant).

And seriously, that sounds like a shitty way to spend your birthday. It also reminds me of the way I spent my 18th (for the Americans: 18 is the age of maturity here, so your 18th birthday is kinda a big deal)

happy belated birthday Loki!

today I went to SF with my buddy Lukas, who is on leave from the Air Force, and my Marine recruit buddy's girlfriend Megan. said recruit buddy, named Jesse, shipped off to boot yesterday, and she wanted to get out of the house and kick it. we all had a great time, and it felt nice giving her a chance to hang out with some folks who can sympathize quite well with what she's dealing with.

work's been great. they've cut hours but I'm the only seasonal hire they seem intent on keeping. I'm more clearly interested in product knowledge than the other seasonals, and I carved a social niche for myself super quickly. pretty sure I'll be sticking around a good while.
