It has been almost a full month since I last updated this. didja miss me? no? yeah, I thought not. fickle bunch, aren't ya? anyway. i decided I'd update this instead of actually working today. go me.

so now, now that I've spent at least half an hour watching various music videos and NOT updating this, now I think I'll type some words in here. hopefully they'll make sense.

I'll get the obvious out of the way first, I think: waffle. acorn. ambivalent. Styrofoam tubing. I'm Old Greg.

anyway, hi. how are you? I'm honestly a little surprised you're still reading, after that nonsense. and for you, the faithful (and probably very bored) reader, a treat. an actual update about my life. Body Massage Machine, Go!

I'm not sure if I put in here, I probably didn't, that I was transferred to .Mac. I don't take calls, I just answer e-mails, I get to listen to music all day long without any interruptions save food and waste control. jolly good. EXCEPT: I'm totally slacking. without the stimulus provided by that little *beep* in my ear to tell me another helpless schmuck is ready to yell at me because he or she doesn't know what the hell they're doing, I just don't do much. oh well. so, when a message went out, asking anyone if they'd like to go back to whatever group they were in, I signed up. my choices were: underperform badly in .Mac, or be, at worst, adequate--or heaven forbid, good at my job-- in WMM, where I was before. so it's not much of a choice, is it? since this is my last stretch at this job, I have to consider where I'm more likely to be hired as a full-time employee. so good luck to me, I guess. anyway.

meeting new people, making new friends. whee! I've gotten several people to play Lunch Money with me, which means I've been able to play more often, makes me happy. I had a housewarming thing for my new place a few weeks ago. it was fun. a dozen people, at most, showed up. which was pretty much how I wanted it. no big huge debacle, no vomiting, no "what the fuck is he/she doing here? I thought he/she hated you!" or anything like that. no drama. was nice. most of my friends got along pretty well with most of my friends, which is always a good feeling for me. I like my friends to like my friends. I'm weird like that.

I'm kind of seeing this girl I met from work, we're not really sure what's up with that, honestly. we hang out, we have fun, she has a daughter and copious tattoos, and lives with her ex-boyfriend, and yeah. from a logical standpoint it's not the best decision, I'll admit. still working on that, let me check my notes...

apparently, I'm an amateur phillumenist. there's a word for it, who knew?

I've been talking to R more lately, which amuses me greatly. it's nice to have some semblance of that back, honestly. feels almost normal, almost.

for some reason, I feel like punching people in the back of the head today.

so now I have a Starbucks coffee-cup thingy that keeps my coffee warm. it's blue, I like it. I feel like holding it and petting it and wandering around mumbling "all I need..." with my pants around my ankles.

I can't tell if I worry too much, or don't worry enough. probably both.

alright, I've got 20 minutes till lunch, I should probably work a little before then. wish me rong ruck!
