Disjointed
Last post was, I decided, a blip on the radar. The last little bit has proven to be a time of improvement for me, although admittedly, a little silent and observational for the most part. I think that I'm just feeling a little detached from everything. My up and coming vacation will be good for me though in this respect, because I will have some serious alone time to muddle through things and just recover from the year in general.
Friday was an excellent last day of classes. We had a really good beer with our Marginal Boss and some of the students of the class (apparently this ran all the way to 5:30), as well as getting dismissed from a non-existant English class later on. Spent the afternoon having coffee and good conversation with more fine peers, and all was good. Admittedly though, on my way home I felt a little dejected at the nights prospects. I mean, going to Halo is one thing, but going to Buddy's was another. I really enjoy Halo, but I do not enjoy Buddy's at all. However, apparently no one else was in the mood either, and we walked aimlessly around and listened to inappropriate jokes from the Married Couple. I have never really enjoyed their company to begin with though- they're strange, and though their intentions are always to be nice, the wife is sort of an indescribable cow, and I feel sorry for her husband constantly.
Going to the shindig for le Papier yesterday however, proved to be unexpectedly fun. We seriously had a great time. It is so much easier to get along with staff when they are lubricated with spirits, as well as easier to have really good conversation with them also. And admittedly, I felt more then guilty about the bitching and griping I've been doing about the office lately. However, I am still a Ross sympathizer.
After we tired of the events at RATT, three of us meandered down Whyte with the intention of doing something indecisive, got harassed by Frat boys, and the general late-night drunk Whyte melee. Ran into a few ecclectic friends of Red Jersey, and actually made a decision towards going to Humptys in our half-sotted states. I actually had a really good time, despite the fact that it was incredibly hard to stay awake at times. We winded up leaving the place at about four-ish after much long discussion and debate that had these two little girls at the other side of the table glazing over, but it was a great time for the rest of us. The people that Red Jersey introduced us too were really quite something. Except for those two girls of course. Young, dumb and....
The cab ride home was suprisingly cheap- I suspect our cabbie had Formula racing skillz, and he was quite nice and interesting.
And today...well, today was madness, detachment, and fatigue, all rolled into one cigarette craving mess. Our neighbors chopped down the huge pine tree in front of our houses, as well as one in the back. It is quite a dramatic thing to note the sudden absence of a 75 foot behemoth tree in your front yard. The sun seems more blinding.
Looking forward to my vacation. YES.
