So how was your February, hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
We'll start from the last post, which apparently was post number 100, crazy huh? My birthday was pretty awesome actually. Got to go on a hike with 3 very awesome ladies and got some rad pictures out of it. Very very cool hike. I've decided that a) I want to go on hikes more often, and b) I want to go on a hike with friends every year for my birthday. I got some good times in with some close friends and some new friends later that evening as we had a dinner, a couple of drinks, and an impromptu Birthday dance. Just so you know, a "Birthday Dance" is NOT a strip/lap dance as some people may think. It is indeed a Lindy Hop dance, or Swing Dance, that is geared towards one person rotating partners during the progress of one song. It's quite enjoyable and I've actually never done it before, until this year. Why? After so many years of dancing have I not had one single birthday dance? Well, that's because I found it to be a bit pretentious and semi awkward. But I took it all back as this year I decided to make a big deal and do it.
So ya, family and friends, good times.
Then Valentine's day came. I'm not sure if I've expressed this (I'm pretty sure I have, but just in case), I'm a bit of a romantic. I have some great and grand ideas for the right person, and have yet to actually instigate or engage those ideas as I've neither had the courage, the money, or the time. I've had a handful of relationships, and only 3 that had any effect for that holiday. One had higher expectations than wasn't even feasible to achieve and kinda wrecked my excitement for the gifts I made (yes, made). The next one surprised me with a bunch of plans, but a couple of months later cheated, so that kinda threw that memory out. And the other one didn't seem to really care either way about it, which was fine, cause I was completely broke and couldn't do anything that I really wanted to do, I did do the super nice dinner at least (and a necklace if I remember correctly).
So, what did I do this year being single? I worked. I worked one job, and went straight to the other. I remained completely off of Facebook, as I knew I would say something to someone on some status thinking I was being funny, but would end up coming across bitter or jaded. What I DID do, was spoil myself for once. I got a new laptop, a new camera, and some new clothes (that actually fit). Basically I got some new toys that I can play with and help me achieve some of my future goals. And I must say, typing this blog on my laptop (this keyboard is sick!) while laying in bed, is pretty badass.
I was gonna post pictures, but I've been too easily distracted by other things to take the time to snap shots of all my new gear. I also got a new pair of dance shoes for my birthday, which I must say, are very awesome, and I'm quite anxious to try them this week finally.
