I'm embarrassed to say I didn't wake up until two o'clock this afternoon.
This really spoiled my plans to do a proper deep-clean of my apartment. It really needs it, too, because (with my lack of real furniture) it gets really messy very quickly and dust bunnies are a real problem for folks with hardwood floors. ![whatever](https://dz3ixmv6nok8z.cloudfront.net/static/img/emoticons/rollseyes.21cb35fd0ec2.gif)

I went out on Friday night to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was great! I got to catch up with my friend (who I hadn't seen since, like, June before she went to Rome and I went to LA for the summer), and one of my other friends kept buying me delicious vodka tonics with Corona chasers. And there was cake! WIN!
There was one hot picture taken of the two of us (me and the birthday girl). If I get my hands on it, I'll post it; there aren't too many pictures of me floating around that I like.![smile](https://dz3ixmv6nok8z.cloudfront.net/static/img/emoticons/smile.0d0a8d99a741.gif)
Obviously, there's a point to this anecdote, so I'll get to it. There was a boy. He was one of two that I did not initiate contact with and a friend of Birthday Girl. He was an okay guy, so when the party moved to another bar, I ended up spending time talking to him. So much time that once everyone had left the bar, we were left talking. He got us a cab to the subway, and as I hugged him goodbye he went for what seemed like a cheek kiss. So I kissed his cheek. Then he did it again, so I angled my face for another cheek kiss. But he didn't let go, and then BLAM. Kissy face in the subway.
The point here is that, although he's a nice guy, he's not a guy I'd want to date. I realized, after dissecting the situation with Nefaria that I essentially used this guy for attention because he was one of a small handful who paid me any. And this is the second time I've gotten drunk and ended up kissing one of Birthday Girl's friends who I would never have otherwise kissed. He called me last night and asked me out, so we're having coffee tomorrow afternoon where I plan to let him know he's in the Friend Zone.
I'm nervous about it because it's not like I get people trying to chat me up everyday. When they do, I'm usually either not remotely interested or they have the most tragically stupid things to say that I want to tear my eyeballs out and get away as quickly as possible. The situation of someone getting as far as kissing when I'm not romantically interested doesn't usually happen, so it's unfamiliar territory and I feel like a jerk rejecting nice people. I know I need to, though, because it's not fair to me to settle for dating someone just because they like me. There's someone around that I'd like who would like me too, I'm convinced!
I'm buying comics before to bolster my confidence (read: distract myself from the inevitable).

In other news, I hate being unemployed. Have I mentioned that before? Because I really do. It totally impedes on my social life and my entertainment! I decided today that when I finally buy a console I'm getting a PS3 (thank you, IGN!) and Batman: Arkaham City and will splooge over them both for a week. But that shit is 'spensive! I either need a job or for my wealthy benefactor to start paying my rent already. (But I'd like the job.) [Or the benefactor.] {Better, both.}
--------
I realized I bought two copies of Ex Machina: Term Limits. So I'm going to try to sell one of them, along with my second accidental copy of Preacher: All Hell's A-Coming.
--------
I just rehashed some of the crochet projects I hope to complete over the next eight months or so in the Uber Geek Brigade group forum and I really want to get started (especially on that Regular Show blanket)! But I need a shit ton of yarn and new crochet hooks. Money rears its stupid green head again.
--------
I watched Batman today (the Michael Keaton/Tim Burton one) and all the special features. There was something I wanted to mention but I put on Iron Man right after and forgot.![confused](https://dz3ixmv6nok8z.cloudfront.net/static/img/emoticons/confused.9b1223c913e4.gif)
--------
I'm not a member of SGNY yet, but they're having an open event at the end of the month! Hopefully if I'm not demasiado pobre I'll be there!
--------
Have you ever seen the ABG webseries? I wouldn't have chosen the modifier "awkward" for what she is and it makes me cringe occasionally, but her raps kill me! Team White Jay!
That's all for my rambling stream of thought. Here are some nice pictures.
