my eyes are so sore...just finished an 11 hour day where the entire time was spent staring at my computer screen and dealing with websites and excel sheets. I also have a nasty crook in my elbow and, for whatever reason, a very sore right knee. I'm waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up in spite of the fact that I don't actually know when he's going to get off. He was supposed to get off at 11 pm and its 11:35. I hope its soon. I've only eaten once today and think my stomach may eat itself very shortly.
have for the first time on record invited my older friends to my apartment for dinner. this means that more cleaning will be done tomorrow after another few hours of work. (I get to formatt over six hundred data points by hand...oooo the excitement)
much drama occured in my LARP group in the last 36 hours...a good deal of it was fairly painful and in all honesty its a bit hard to explain so pardon the very abrupt summary. A gentleman (not that he deserves that title mind you) in my LARP was politely asked to find a different group his patterns of bad behavior grew worse and worse to where he was affecting the game for others. He constantly said how unhappy he was so he was asked to leave. A huge fight blew up and many people over-reacted imediately citing he had been treated unfairly. But the only thing that matters now is trying to salvage what will be left, which may actually be more than I originally expected.
In the midst of all that...my glimmer of hope (other than showing off a nice clean apartment) is that this Saturday is the opening day of RenFaire!!!! Its truly one of those things I look foreward to year round...and this year is even better because I will have *gasp* spending money. I get my first paycheck of the new job tomorrow. (hence being willing to work the 11 hour day) I would like to actually spend my first paycheck on something I want before I start saving up for my boyfriend's birthday gift which is a round trip ticket to Los Angeles...yes, I'm going with him.
aieee! I just cracked bones I didn't know I had...then again being hunched over one's laptop for 11 hours isn't exactly ergonomic. I just want to curl up in bed with the love of my life and sleep...*blushes* well...anyways...moving along!
on a much more serious note, I actually began a healing process this past week that I never thought I'd have the courage to begin. And I owe it to my friends...people who have shown me what actual friendship is. No strings attached, not going in and out with the tide...I feel as though I've spent my entire life at sea and am feeling solid ground for the first time. Its strange, but wonderful. And to each of you, I dearly hope you already know who you are, who have helped me find my courage, I am eternally grateful. Thank you, thank you for everything. Without you my head would be barely above the water.
