Overclocking
Dec. 13th, 2011 03:36 pmXmortis found me firing on all cylinders. Great times in the billiard room, dancing on the floor, darting in and out in full social mode, I believe the are calling it "flow" now. Flow was definitely flowing. Saturday saw another loss on the Warhammer table, but progress with the army list. Saturday night I took my first dance lesson, then met my roommate for Bitsuteki dinner, then right over to Lauren's for her birthday party. There was an option of attending a second party that night, but running over to JP wasn't in the cards. The house was already full of her friends, but I overcame any social awkwardness quite handily, and we deeply involved in conversation by the time my first friend arrived. The party soon cycled through as most of her non-Goth friends lieft, replaced by the Usual Suspects. A fine, fine time was had again, I tried to keep an eye on the birthday girl and keep her watered. Now I know what Johanna must feel like. ;)
Clearly I'm getting older, because after two hard nights of carousing, I was feeling it. I went on another date (lunch and tea) which ran me a bit late for my DND game. We got into several fights, and still avoided a whole encounter that our DM planned. There are times I think flying and teleporting should be banned spells, they are Story Killers. Monday found me still haggard, which was compounded by a crappy networking problem at a property in Dorchester. I had to bus out, work on their router, bring it back to the office and reprogram it, then shlep it in the next morning. I missed Spin Jam again, and bailed on hanging out with my bartender interest. A closer look at her status ("in a relationship") made staying home much easier.
I have one more date tonight, then it's back to movies and more parties this weekend, and I tell you I'm getting bushed. December is still a whirlwind even without family obligations! I know it sounds like Im skirting over a lot of details here, and that's true. It would be nice to see long, clever descriptions of what it's like at the club on a good night, though you've probably read many of them in the past. The good times deserve their due here as well as the bad. The pressures of work are still strong, with half a dozen computers to build before the year, along with coding projects that I don't really know well. Dates have their own pressures, which I'll expand on more tomorrow. I say dates, not dating, just to be clear. I also don't want to sound like I'm complaining about how things are this month, even if it may sound like that. It just a new... state of being that takes some getting used to. Yeah, I like the sound of that.
*sigh* Less talk, more configuring!
