my boyfriend really has some weird effects on me. he has habits like listening to cds on random all the time and eating restaurant leftovers as soon as you get home, even if you were stuffed to the gills when you left. i've found myself doing these things to some extent over the past few months.
i ate at the restaurant formerly known as noble palace with three guy friends tonight after gilmore girls. i had some fried rice with tofu. not very exciting, but good. and i was very full on half a plate of that and a glass of vietnamese iced coffee, because god knows i didn't drink enough when my travel mug was mostly filled before leaving for work. i'm eating my leftover fried rice now.
lukewarm food rocks.
i realized at dinner that it's possible that most of the friends i'd be more likely to just hang out with are male these days. i have probably more female friends, but they are different. my relationship with them these days is also different than it has been before, especially when i lived with a bunch of them. i spend a lot of time with boys--all of my coworkers are male; i see my boyfriend a lot; half of our gilmore girls group at the harem is male. i'm planning to live with two boys starting in june.
speaking of, have i mentioned that? chris, graylan, and i are seeking a house to rent in wallingford (or fremont). we're all totally excited. it's going to be a crazy house--crazy FUN, that is. those two are crazy, intelligent, and, erm... crafty. i guess. they are creative with gadgetry, among other things.
summer quarter might be free time for me, too. well. i'll be working at the same old place, of course, and i intend to seek an internship or some other kind of journalisty work, unpaid, but it is looking suspiciously like i won't be taking newslab. i might as well hold off until fall since there aren't going to be any of the skills electives i need offered in the fall, unless something changes in the next week or so. i need to request addcodes soon, too.
i am feeling somewhat happy right now. the only annoying thing in life this second is that my cpu fan is dirty and noisy. it's not broken, though, so i can continue using it until i can pick up a new one. this is fortunately cheap to do. (yes, mom, it's not my hard drive, so there will be no hellish replacement cost. hurrah! and i paid tuition today.)
yesterday i gave myself a makeup weekend because my real weekend left me dissatisfied. it was incredibly refreshing and remarkably productive--i did a lot of necessary reading and overanalyzed daytime tv before making dinner and going to gasworks with kevin. he did stiltwalking. we made pizza on naan bread later that evening, too. and i stayed over, because going to sleep and waking up next to someone is always so nice.
