Sick, Tired, Shopper, Gun-Owner, Home Owner? Even I Don't Know Who I am Anymore...

Lot of changes going on. Some of them interesting, some of them annoying, all of them keeping me busy. Too busy to post which is why you will hopefully forgive us in our lack of updates. So let's just go down the list and address everything in the title shall we?

Sick - I am just now getting over a bit of sickness. It may have been food poisoning but I'm not sure. There was a bit of puking and a lot of pooping as my body just didn't seem to want anything to do with have stuff inside of it. While this may sound pretty bad to some of you because you've been through it I was actually kind of interested in where this journey was taking me. The most unpleasant part of this whole ordeal was putting my face where I was just shitting so I could puke. Still it was a bit interesting as I went through this journey of misery and I think I've learned a fair amount of what it's like to be sick and feel that I've formed a stronger connection with Her and the rest of the human race because of it.

Tired - There's a fair bit of drama going on in my life and it is exhausting to me. I must say I am ill equipped to handle this much as my drama muscle has atrophied to the size of a raisin. Still, they are friends and family so if I'm going to have to run a mile on a muscle the size of a raisin then damnit I will. It sucks to lose someone who you've been connected with for so long but the way in which that connection was severed it's sometimes best to just note the poor investment and cut your loses. While this may seem a bit cold I don't really have to be nice anymore so I might as well be objective.

As a good friend you try and be there for those who need you. Sometimes the fact that it's been a one way street may have eluded you. You're a good friend, you probably weren't keeping score. But if and when you do notice don't put up with that shit. It may suck but when you stop wasting your time polishing shit you may be able to find yourself able to actually find some decent people. And while I am emotionally stunted and am probably coming off a bit cold I don't feel as if I'm wrong about this. I will miss one thing though, I will no longer be able to say that I met Her by "dating her best friend - but we're still cool." Cause we're not now. Maybe I'll say something like "we were both dumped by the same girl for the same guy."

Shopper - I have never, ever, even including computers, did this much research on what to buy. We're getting a new house (fingers crossed) and with a new house comes new toys. And well each toy requires a bit of research, which one to get, how big, how many, what should it look like, what prices are there... It's quite a lot. How do people who like to shop do this? Do they just not do any research? Do they just know because they shop so much? How do they do it?!

Gun Owner - I got a gun! Buahahaha. I got a gun for a couple reasons. 1) my cousin spawned a daughter, 2) I always said I wanted to get a shot gun to polish for when she grows up and brings her "friend" over 3-5) some friends of mine spawned daughters too, 6) it's a good way to get some bonding time with my best pal in PA where apparently shooting is like peeing. Sometimes you'll just drink too much and you just want to shoot something, pull off to the side of the road, whip out your gun and bam! Now doesn't that feel much better?

Home Owner - There's a lot of stuff but none of it really matters to people who aren't actually buying the house. I must say this process has been way easier than what I expected. I've heard some pretty bad stories and really, haven't really seen that happening so far. At this point it's almost past the nightmare point and the only thing that I see that may go bad is that the sellers pull out, and writter's cramp from having to sign my name so many times on the closing documents. Wish us luck.
