When change happens to me, it's usually in a flurry of events, one right after the other.
I just finally moved downstairs and I'm about 70% unpacked. I spent the last few days (nights) unpacking, organizing, and throwing away all the things I don't need.
I'm going out with a girl this weekend. Though this will be a second "date," we're not really dating, as much as we are two people who knew each other a long time ago getting to know each other again. She's not really a friend, more of an acquaintance. And I hope to define a better direction of this new relationship this weekend. (Hopefully it won't be the "friends" brush-off.)
And tomorrow I have a lunch "date" I'm really looking forward to. I can't say too much today, but I'll divulge tomorrow night, so as not to jinx the occasion-- after I go out with B and our friend J (haha-- B&J.)
Next week I'll be on vacation, to which I'll be registering my vehicle and getting my license for New York City. I'll be a "Noo Yawr-kuh" in a few days. Fuggeddaboudit.
So there's a lot to look forward to in the next few days alone. Keep you posted!

Everything Is Gone... Well, Not Everything
All my photos, music files, documents-- EVERYTHING is gone!
I'm a little perturbed by this. A little. I had a few things I was working on that were important to me. A few scripts, stories, and journal entries I had deemed "works in progress."
It sucks having to start over in this capacity. Two years doesn't really set you back, but in a lot of ways it does.
Couple that with all the papers and books I have yet to dry off and what I feel is a little more than annoyed.
Oh, and I have to finish moving in two days now.
(...)
On a (much) better note, there's another new girl at work that I've been avoiding. She's attractive. Definitely. But all the other guys at work are up in her business right now, and that's the last place I want to be at the moment. Quite honestly, even though it's a lost cause, I still prefer PG's unavailable company at the moment.
But, seeing as that things are "great" with her newly defined boyfriend at the moment (Side note: she called me drunk last night, in an almost break-down, and today things are "great" again,) I guess I can elaborate on this new, pretty face.
She's got a nice air about her. Polite. Intelligent. Well-spoken. Smooth voice over the phone (this is how I interact with her most of the day.) And she has that sweet "girl" smell about her, which smells like lip-balm, baby powder, and perfume. She's also very curvy, which is why she attracts a lot of attention from the guys at work at the moment.
Me, well, for me she's all right. I don't really know her at all, but that's because I've been really avoiding any and all opportunities to get to know her. Honestly, I don't need another woman in my life right now. My plan was simple: call her up when I only need to, ask her questions only pertaining to work, move on. Maybe a Hi or Good Morning, but nothing more.
Everything was going well. Until today.
I was upstairs doing my thing and I walked by her desk, noticing the new T-Mobile Sidekick 3 over a bunch of books. I just had to ask her about it, mostly because I'm in the market for a new phone. She let me browse around for a few minutes and we were talking about a few other phones. By the end of our little chat, I had a date with a like-new Blackberry phone that she might practically give to me (she got it for free) after I give it a go tomorrow.
So it's not really a bad thing that my plans of avoiding a pretty girl failed miserably. I got to chat with the new girl and get a new (maybe free) phone out of the deal.
I guess I'll have to live with the cards I'm dealt.
(Sigh.)

It Figures
The last 36 hours have been a great pain in my ass. If it weren't for my friend, K, I'd be a fuckin' wreck right now.
To start, I picked up K&K from the airport yesterday. We went out for a bite to eat then came back to the house. I was looking forward to getting a lot of work done with the move. That was about cut short we discovered a leak in the basement.
Right on top of the things I had just moved earlier that week.
So I've been doing about two days worth of laundry on a holiday weekend. Soooooooo fun, lemme tell you.
And to top things off, my computer crashed when I got back from doing laundry. I lost everything. Thank goodness my blog is online.
I would have figured that I'd be a wreck at this point, but what can you do, huh?

Well, gotta get back to drying off the books and papers.
