Down in the Valley...
Monday, June 19, 2006Today's Happy to Crappy rating is somewhere in the "Eh" to Dumpster Diving range. I had a pretty good weekend, but it's funny how one little thing can bring ya down.
The weekend was indeed good, Friday I just chilled out at home. I really didn't have the energy to go out, but the rest of the weekend was a different story.
Saturday I got up, played a little WoW, then worked on the garden for a while. I was supposed to go running with Kickball girl, but I got a nasty bruise on my hip playing kickball and running was not really on my to do list. I had to start chipping away at the jungle of weeds and crap that have sprouted up. I'm determined to actually plant something this year and get that sidewalk into something decent looking. It's a slow process that I should have started way earlier, but it's going.
After the garden I cleaned up and headed over to the kickball mid-season party. We rented out the back couple rooms of a pretty cool bar in Minneapolis. We of course had a flip-cup tournament and the best part was a $900 bar tab. We managed to rack up 57 pitchers of Miller products and also had 49 Kamikazes along with some fishbowls and other various alcohol. It was definitely a good night! Unfortunately no good makeout stories or anything of the sort, but it still was fun!
Sunday, I slept in for a while due to a late night then got up and putzed around the house a bit. Eventually I met up with Conservative girl and we hit up a local Art Festival for a while. I bought some cool photographs of old cars to add to the living room. Slowly getting the classic car / 30's-40's garage theme going there. Afterward I met up with Kickball Girl at her grandparents plan on a little lake/pond. Afterward we made a pit stop at her place so she could shower and then headed over to the patio at Brits to relax and have a bottle of wine. We have another "date" scheduled for Tuesday, we'll probably go running and then go from there, but we'll see. I'm really not putting much optimism in this one, but hanging out with a friend is cool.
Somewhere in the midst of all that I got a new "friend" request on MySpace. Yes, I have a MySpace page. No, I'm not going to link it because, well, I have this huge gut instinct that MySpace is completely evil. I mean it IS owned by Rupert Murdoch, like that's not evil enough. Anyway, turns out that friend request is a girl I had been friends with for a while, but she slowly faded out of touch when she moved in with a guy. I'm not sure how she found me considering I have like zero info on there, but cool anyway.
I logged in Sunday night to see if she had responded to my email and noticed my friends list had dropped form three to two. Eclectic girl, the main reason I started a MySpace page had removed me from her friends. Sad. I guess that ends a to-be-written chapter of Slacker's Dating Odyssey. Oh well.
Not like that one was going anywhere, but the dead ends are really getting old. The Cute Paramedic returned, only to disappear again like usual. KBG is back, but I seriously doubt that will go anywhere either. There aren't really that many options out there either. There is one incredibly beautiful girl in Kickball I'd ask out, but I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have much of a chance there either. Maybe I should do the CG thing and date the family of someone who's completely unavailable for a year and hope the person turns out to be worth it. Nah maybe not.
Anyway, time to get to work and all that! Keep slackin people!

"Eclectic girl, the main reason I started a MySpace page had removed me from her friends. Sad."
Sad on whose part - her for deleting you, or you for starting up a Myspace page PURELY FOR NOT YOUR OWN reasons?
I'm rooting for you dude. I respect the hell out of the bar tab, too. That shit is mint. -

Ok, for the second time now...I'm gonna try and comment here.
Long time, no see. I think I'm back for a while, trying to be anyhow.
Hope things pick up in the hottie department.
And by the way, MySpace shuts my puter down every time that I try and go on there. -

Ozzy refrains from making another comment on the bar tab.
I am gonna comment on the chick-searching department. Dude. You go out a lot, but it's starting to seem like you're hunting, not going out just to have fun. Forget about looking for Ms. Right, and just go have fun. If you keep going out with such a focused objective, you'll just end up frustrated and angry, which will start showing up in your basic attitude when you go out, and an evil cycle ensues.
Chill out and have fun. Everything else will fall in to place. -
