contemplating the day, i'm kind of thankful for the dreary monotony of it. it's the start of a lunar new year, and it's nice to leave behind the confusion and deluge of emotions i've had over the past couple weeks.
i finally got around to taking all of my ex-girlfriend's pictures down. in a moment of weakness, i stared a little too long at one of them, only to remember why i needed to take said pictures down.
in other news, the friend who came by the other day to help me cook is adding some more unnecessary drama to my life. last friday, i asked her to hang out and unintentionally (or not), it became a date. we went to one of those japanese places where they prepare your food in front of you (teppan) and laughed at the large group of middle-aged teachers that sat across from us. afterwards, i suggested that we visit this place where i knew the bartender. being just a few miles from the moneyed heart of orange county, there was no shortage of young, attractive, and extremely pretentious people to gawk at or talk to.
to make a long story short, and to avoid boring inane details, we ended up in my bed trying to weigh the consequences of giving in to our groping hands and wandering lips and remembering that buddies don't do this, right? and no, buddies don't. so with resolve that came from lord knows where, i turned over, pushed her away, and fell asleep, drunk and on my way to a killer hangover.
now, i'm really hoping i did the right thing. it feels like i did the stupid thing, which would be typical of myself.
but a happy new year to you, especially those who were born in the year of the rat. it's your year now. enjoy it.
