Some things never change.

Hello again readers, I'm finding myself a bit bored on this fine Sunday evening so I thought I would write a blog post. Figured what better time, eh? I've got a bit of writer's block, so this post may be more scatterbrained than usual, but we'll just have to see how things flow. This weekend I got to spend some time with a friend of mine that has been intermittently visible in the grand scheme of things. It's nice to see people that enjoy your company, and honestly I'm more happy I got to spend some time with him and the housemates than going to a crowded event I was thinking about going to this weekend. 

I've been finding that I'm turning into something of a recluse, and not quite sure why. It's mildly aggravating, for sure. I need to fix that. Kind of on the subject of going out, I tried exercising for about a week, and noticed I was hemorraging pounds (lost like 10 pounds in a week). Not terribly healthy. So I've gone back to my normal eating routine, and not exercising as much. I found if I started counting calories, it seemed like I was starving all the time, which by the end of the week meant I had no energy to do anything except sleep. I'll have to try exercising more first, then cutting calories later, I think. I'm still hovering around the 190 mark, which is something of an improvement, at least. 

In roommate news, two of my roomies are moving out (in August), and my Boyfriend moves in. It'll be the first time I've lived with a boyfriend for the first time in over 3 years I believe. I've grown accustomed to having my own room, but honestly, I'm ready to have someone to share any common interests with be in the same room with me regularly. It'll also be neat to have a change of scenery from the room I've been living in for a little over 2 years now. The boyfriend and I have been kinda incommunicado while he's been getting things sorted out here, but we're both very much looking forward to being together finally. The roomies are looking forward to him as well. 

I've been giving some people I stopped talking to/been holding grudges against some 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) chances to create SOME sort of conversation, but it looks as though we stopped talking because we literally must not have had anything in common. Though given, nowadays I don't have a whole lot to talk about. I kinda enjoy just... watching people lately (at least if I'm in a group). Their mannerisms, their laughs, gaining insight into their ways of thinking, it's all very intriguing. Some people have called it creepy, but I like to think of my watching people as admiring them. Not creeping on them or anything. As I grow older, I've noticed it seems to be increasingly easy to be creepy, which is not something I've ever wanted to do, nor do I ever. I just try to be good people and good entertainment, and a good friend.

Work's going rather well still, I was mentioned in a meeting with some of the supervisors recently (apparently). I am doing a rather good job with training colleagues, and doing the work I do. It's a nice feeling to get that silly little 'pat on the back' for doing a good job. I'll likely be salaried by the end of the year with the way things are looking, but I suppose that's what pre-occupies my thoughts nowadays really, is just... work. I don't have much else until my pup comes out, and I find it hard to just relax at the end of the day. I imagine that'll change when my pup comes out.

One of the other things I'm looking forward to (it's kind of work-related, which is sad), is getting a network set up that is optimal for everyone in it. Doing monitoring to make sure everything's running smoothly. I... think I still have a little bit of network administrator in me, and my boyfriend seems to feed that side of me as well. I enjoy it. It makes me feel, well, not so stupid when it comes to computers. And while most of you may think I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, I... may not be. But I feel out of date for sure. 

Anyway, I think that's enough of a brain splurge for now. If you want to see me write about something else, let me know, but in the meantime, I'm off. Good night, and good luck.
