(cross posted from lj)
too much has happened these past few days! I'm not sure if I can even remember the proper ordering of things...
I always say it's gonna be a short entry, and then it's not but i'll give a knitty gritty run down and maybe elaborate on some things.
On friday, i came along for the ride while (e:paul) and (e:xandra) ran some quick errands. I was excited to be close to them, just hanging out and getting a little goofy in the store, but i had to get dropped off at work pretty soon...
I didn't really expect to come over that night but after texting back and forth a bit, it had been decided... Danielle was hosting that night in formal dining, and after chatting with her a while she started getting me glasses of wine on the sly... i wasn't even asking for them, she just kept feeding me alcohol, it was kind of funny. A lot of people there drink at work actually, but i really try not to do it because I'm just not sneaky or good at lying. I'm always the person who gets caught red handed doing something he's not supposed to, so i just try to avoid having a drink on the job or other stuff.... but that night it was permissible; i was a nervous bag of energy.
I was pretty tired when i got there. there were plans of going out i think, but that didn't happen... Alex went out, but we stayed in after (e:terry) 's game was over. I tried learning a bit about it while he and (e:heidi) played. Their friend was over, and I know I've met her but I can't remember her name. >_<
We went to bed shortly after. I was actually kind of nervous and fully expected to sleep on the couch or something (I was trying not to get psyched up) but in retrospect i guess that would have been dumb. It as kind of a big deal to me, but i think i kept it cool. I felt such a surge of emotion when i crawled into bed.... it was kind of overwhelming at first but i got a hold of myself without anyone noticing, and the night came to a rather nice close.
saturday i worked all day, but came back to their house in between a split shift to clean my uniform. i didn't prepare to come over because i didn't expect it, thus stinky robert occurred. after work, i came back, showered and then we went out to DBGB's for funtaimz.... they had a DnB event that night and honestly, most all of the music was great. I danced nearly the whole time i was there with some breaks to go outside or to have a drink. Terry said something pretty cute that night, and it got me all excited. He drops little things here and there, and I realize from the way he is how note worthy it is when he does.
Paul's cousin showed up that night... Erica? i think. She's a ton of fun. I invited some people myself, but i none of my friends were really out that night. We stopped at her place on the way home and i pretty much cuddled her bean bag the entire time. it was incredibly comfortable, i couldn't believe it.
we didn't end up getting into bed until after 6am... That was another really great night, too.
sunday, we just kind of lazed about and had some yummy salad and watched things and played games. it was nice. i needed a lazy day. I was supposed to go to the adams mark, but i just couldn't do it. I hate it there every time i go. They take advantage of temps. so i said fuck it. We went to the comedy night at goodbar where my friend did stand up but i completely missed it! I left my wallet at their place, so a friend had me drive her car back to get it... i guess all of the really funny acts went up first which we missed andthere was only 1 or 2 people that went up that were funny. They were all really self-deprecating, which is funny to a point, but it's kind of just an easy to go for stand-by method, and it gets old/depressing fast.
I was so incredibly tired when i get home but i stayed up late anyways because i can never sleep at a decent time and woke up completely exhausted today. I chatted with Brandy for a long time, and we exchanged sexy details and did a bit of confiding in each other. it was really nice to touch base on that.
Today, i emailed my professors because I have to miss school. I'm gonna be preparing the apartment for an extermination tomorrow. they are doing the entire house tuesday. I'm am 99.99% sure i do not have bugs and that it was just a weird chance ride-home with me thing. I saw a beetle at their house the other day that looked strikingly similar to the 2 bugs that were on me only mine were mini and reddish.
Honestly, I'm feeling pretty good about most everything right now. I'm going to just sort of take things day by day and not worry about what anything is called until that bridge is crossed. I already learned my lesson.
Time to tear my house apart and get some school work done. :D
Wish i'd taken more photos! photo credits to paul. I look so weird.

Crazy busy days ahead, feelings, and how i have lots of them.Category: feelings
cross posted from LJ... I guess it doesn't matter who reads about my feelings, i assume those who would be affected see my lj anyways? so it doesn't really matter. I guess i'm worried about coming across as... crazy? lol maybe that's not the word. argh.
____
these next few days are gonna be pretty busy.
tomorrow i've got class, and then work. saturday, i'm working from 10am to... probably 9 or 10 at night... sunday could possibly be skiing in the early morn, and then back to b-lo to work 3 to 10 at the adams mark... then school most of the day on monday. thank god it starts late on tuesday x_x it's not like i don't have a choice though. i choose this busy-ness i guess.
today's been interesting... I didn't have class today because i just don't on thursdays, so i went to cafe 59 for lunch with Terry and Heidi... Casey joined us later with stories of late night adventuring. :)
I felt pretty nervous. I started out being around them just being able to touch or kiss any time i wanted to, and now that i don't have that same permission it's a little difficult. It's hard to disentangle that kind of neural connection with seeing them, and quite honestly, i really don't want to.
Paul says i should just go for it, but the idea of rejection paralyzes me. Didn't he say he wasn't ready? This is so nebulous and confusing.
I can't focus on my studies at all. I feel like i'm going to do fine anyways, but it's weird to me how not-nervouse i am about school work. i don't actually have a lot to do, it's mostly all reading. i found out that i can pass my tests for contemporary science by just searching the text book pdf for the terms in each question. the test is 2 hours long so it's as if she expects us to use the book anyways. what kind of moron would take 2 hours to take this test??? there's no way this will count for a science credit at ub, lol... it's too easy.
I delivered him some coffee later, and maybe i coulda put the moves on then but i felt way too deer-in-headlights and jittery from nerves. i said it was caffeine why i spilled some of the coffee, but it was definitely nerves... and caffeine.
I feel so silly writing about all of this but in a way, it helps me communicate my feelings while escaping the scary prospects of actually saying them out loud. I'm pretty good at communicating how i feel until it gets intense, because the pressure becomes so great it just seems impossible to release them. like there'll be some explosion. Should i say it out loud? Probably. idk. *pulls hair out like crazy person*
i'm going to try again to focus on studies. Either that or pine away lol... maybe i'll cook first.
oh! I also started making kombucha again! after 3 - 4 weeks of getting a nice scoby growing in a smaller jar after i got some culture from Rita (who originally got it from me!) i transferred the living mass of goodness into a gallon pickle jar with delicious black tea.
I can't wait to share it! pretty soon, i'll be back up to 2 gallons a week, again. I missed having it around to drink all the time.
gettin' all picturey before bed. i can't wait to afford a new phone, so my pictures from the front cam aren't so grainy and crappy anymore.

mah vurry own.Category: daily life etc
I guess i have one of these too, now. :]
i'm actually kind of nervous. I'll be cross-posting everything from my own journal from now on, but do i really wanna do that? maybe there are some things i only want some people to see... i mean, my lj is public, but there are probably only 5 - 6 people that know i have it in real life.
or maybe i'll just be completely uncensored and not give one fuck? We'll see how all of this goes. starting a new blog/journal is kind of nerve wracking for me. everyone on here knows each other! i guess i'll have to get used to it.

I had a really tired morning... i was so exhausted i didn't go to class. I was up so late last night doing everything i could think of that was within my means to help out my bug scare.
with all the lifting and moving of furniture and laundry, i was so body tired, and then after i was past the point of exhaustion i bathed the animals just to make sure i covered all my bases. they were not pleased. i just couldn't do it when i woke up... i had strange dreams all night long. it was the first time in a while that i actually remembered dreams.
I've looked around today with no sightings of any bugs alive or dead. i
also never sustained any bites, at all... I seriously think 1 or 2 just
hitched a ride with me at school or at some point the other night when i
went out. it's so weird....
work was actually pretty busy, i was running around all day. Since they've had me in formal dining, it's usually been dead, but tonight was a nice change. It sucked, though because i ended up alone at work finishing everything because everyone else just wanted to be done and leave fast... I feel like i try hard to be a team player there, but lately no one gives a fuck it seems, even if it effects someone else. any other place i wouldn't mind, but they really stress the whole team effort thing there, it's what makes it a bearable job. so when i'm helping other people all day long and then get shafted, it kind of sucks.
Even the managers left me. it's not like i was slow, there was just a ton of stuff still to be done and no one else did it and someone would have complained the next day if i hadn't done it. it was literally just me and the door man left in that entire ginormous building when i left.
boo.
tomorrow, i'm hopefully meeting alexandra at cafe 59. i was hoping for one since i found out i have to work at 4:30. hmmmm.... life.

yeah... i am not seeing them anywhere at all. maybe they were just some other kind of bug?? it really looked like what came up on google image search, but i haven't been bitten or anything. there no sign of their feces either. i'm so confused.
I guess i'll see in a little while once i move back into my room... i figured i'd vacate the space for at least a week just to be safe. but i haven't found any dead bugs in any of the powder i spread around.

Bed bugs?
Bed bugs?
Robert - 02/28/13 13:05
Aw, shucks! Thanks guys.
I'm still leaving my bed in plastic for a week though. I'm slightly paranoid about it.

Yes, welcome to estrip. So many parts of my job would be better if there were some more team players. Glad the bugs didn't show up. I read they can even jump on you during mass transit etc. Hopefully you caught it early enough and they didn't get to lay eggs.

Just say no to the alcohol. You will be fine.
(e:puddingdiving) - Lana
(e:jolene) was there earlier but you might have missed her.
I guess you're prolly up next for the rotating 5th position at game night.
You don't look weird - you look cute. Glad you had a fun weekend. I sure did.
i should just stop saying that it's gonna be a short entry because it. never. is.
