Wassup?!

I didn’t mean to drop off of the face of the Earth, but it’s been kind of crazy lately and I haven’t been able to keep up.  I’m back now though, so WooT!

How was everyone’s weekend?

Mine was okay, I was housesitting for my Aunt all last week and finally got to come home on Friday night…it was nice to sleep in my own bed, and that cats certainly missed me (and have been all up in my shit since then!) :P

My new semester started on Friday.  I’m taking two Marketing classes and an Organizational Behavior class.  Fun stuff…or something.  I’m determined now to procrastinate so bad this semester though.  I don’t want to be rushing around at the last minute trying to get things done…again.

I saw Transformers 3 over the weekend, and I loved it.  Sure, it won’t be winning Best Picture anytime soon, but anytime giant robots are blowing up shit is a good time to me.

Oh…and remember that thing where I came out…due in part to finding an amazing guy?  Well…that ended.  My feelings were a bit stronger than his, unfortunately, and it came to the point where we just decided to be friends.  I’m not mad at him or anything (you can’t control how you feel, after all…) and he is a GREAT guy, it just wasn’t a good fit.  When it first happened I had my share of feelings of self loathing (am I not good enough? is it because I’m fat?), but I really don’t think that was it…or at least I hope it wasn’t…

So Gentlemen…I’m back on the market I’m going to focus on myself (work, school, getting healthy) before I throw myself back out there.  If something comes along, however, I won’t necessarily shoo it away :P

In BETTER news though…Awesome by August is making a triumphant return!  It will be hosted by myself, Kerri and Brooke again this year, it will be starting next week, and I will have more information in the next couple days (there are a few things that need to be ironed out to make it a better experience)!  So WooT to that!

And…that’s all I got.  Have a great week, everyone!

WoooooooooooooooooT!

(for all of you anyway, maybe not so much for me…bah!)
