Miscellaneous things. Feel free to skip sections as you desire.

Got to talk to Heather finally, looks like I'll have a chance to explain things a bit about my life. On our date, we spent a while talking about our respective pasts; childhood, school, young adulthood... and she's apparently never really dealt with someone like me, with someone who's ever had a reason to...

Humbled again.

I need to quit getting my hopes up.

Okay, so the date went off without a hitch. No, wait, one hitch- I gave her the wrong directions at the very beginning, and ended up borrowing a telephone from a theater employee to call her and correct the directions, etc. An inauspicious beginning, really.

Things didn't get worse from there, luckily; she came fairly quickly, and time passed by way too fast; we ended...

Man. It would be nigh impossible for things to get much better than they've been going this last week.

Got a date for Saturday. Called Heather last night, we fell right into the long-conversation thing again, and we set up plans to meet for dinner. (It's a shame this hadn't worked out a week ago, since we wanted to see "Hairspray" while it was in...

Spending money I don't have...

...just got back from the eye doctor, ordered new contacts and a couple pairs of glasses. Funny that I can get toric contact lenses and two pairs o' glasses for half the cost of a single pair of glasses that I had as a kid.

Wasn't even planning on getting the glasses; I was wandering around the place, waiting for...

What an exhausting weekend. A good weekend, but exhausting nonetheless. After I'd come home from the long night out, re-meeting Heather, I posted on here about impending happiness, then set to work on designing a lesson-plan for Rayna's GED studies. I figured I could get a plan done by 10-11, sleep until 6 or 7 pm, then head over to her place and work with...

Spring break this week; a small weight off my shoulders for a while. I have a little bit of work to do for my logic class, but that's it. A week for sleeping in, cleaning house, shopping, and all the other things I regularly put off.

Tony and I headed out dancing like usual. While out on the floor, Tony pointed out a girl he...

Had a few visitors at work last night, which was weird. One after another, actually, for several hours. I wonder what it was about the night that made friends and acquaintances think "hey, wonder what Robert's doing?"

Ryan was among my visitors, someone I hadn't seen for a few years. Last time I'd talked to him, in fact, was when he was leading a fight...

Pulled away from everyone and everything for much of the last few weeks; I think I've irrevocably hurt a couple of friendships, which makes me sad... but I know better than to try to be around people when my brain is malfunctioning.

Been drinking. Helps with getting to sleep, doesn't help with the depression. Feel like I'm grasping handfuls of dry sand, everything is slipping...

I planned a few months ago to change my favorite-SG list to "Kennedy/Madison/Monroe/Nixon/Reagan" to commemorate President's Day (get it? get it?!) but, alas, I was too mopey to bother coming on-line. I do need to change it soon, though. I definitely think Arlo deserved the nod...

So; quick thing out of the way: Yes, I called Heather. No, she didn't call back. A few people...
