@STARBUCKS ON 18th & CASTRO IN SAN FRANCISCO. So since I'm not working today I decided that it would finally give me a chance to go down to a coffee shop to sit and write for a little while. I would probably rather be at Cafe Flores but since I had to stop at the Bank and then check my post office box, I ended up at Starbucks. I also still had some gift certificates left over from the ones my mother gave me for my birthday so I might as well use them. So today has been a really mild day. I did check my work E-Mail when I got up this morning and answered a few questions, but my boss isn't going to be in today so I decided to postpone any work that I had to do until next week. I know I have several things that I still have to fix with the application I'm working on but they are not anything major and will wait until I'm back. Hopefully next week will keep me busy because I don't really want to sit and be bored again. So here I am sitting in the coffee shop writing this on my Palm with my new keyboard. This is the first time I've actually used it since I got it besides to show some people at work. It does make it much more convenient to write since I don't have to try and do it on the palm with the stylus and I don't need to drag an entire laptop with me to do some writing. This morning I took Philip and Shane to the airport for their trip to Vancouver. They were both stressed out about not making the flight but we got there in plenty of time. They are both so cute together. In the car Philip reminded Shane that that were together for 2 months exactly today. I really hope that everything works out for them. I know it is way too soon for them to even think about moving in together but I joked that I decided they were both going to move into the vacant flat below me. I'd love to have my friends living in the same building, it would be a nice way for everyone to see each other a little more often then we do now. With Philip and Shane's work schedule none of us really see much of each other anymore. Hopefully after the holidays everyone's schedule will calm down a bit and we can all do something together. So I don't know if I want to wait until New Years to make my resolutions or make them now. I've been thinking about many things this time of year. Honestly I don't normally make any New Year's resolutions because I find that birthday resolutions seem more binding, but I didn't make any birthday resolutions this year either so I guess I better do something. I received the nicest e-mail yesterday from Steven thanking me for inviting him to Christmas dinner and being able to spend time with me. He is so sweet, it's no wonder why I like him so much. Justin and I stopped over at his house yesterday to pick up some boxes so Justin could get packed and we sat for a while and talked. I really wanted to go in and hang out for a bit so I'm glad that we didn't grab the boxes and run. Steven seemed to be in a really good mood and it was nice to just sit and chat again. I really like his flat and I'm glad that he seems so happy now. It's about time that things started to fall into place for him.. I think with the new year I want to start doing other things besides going out and one of them would be to go over and hang out at Steven's place. So speaking of places I'm so totally excited that Louis and Kalia will be leaving on Saturday. I'm looking forward to Justin moving in and also being able to get all of my things out of storage and up into the flat. It will be nice to finally have all of my kitchenware so that I can start cooking again. I want to go over to Ikea and get some shelves for the kitchen wall because I just don't think we have enough room for things they way it is currently setup. I'm a bit nervous about changing things in the flat, especially painting, since Louis and Kalia spent so much time getting things they way they wanted, but i guess now that it's going to be Justin and my flat that it will be nice to change things to be the way we want them to be. I still don't think we have decided how we are going to lay out the flat. I'm not sure if we are going to keep the bedroom in the same room or move to the front room. I also don't think that Justin and I have really agreed on any colors for the walls. He likes the color of the front bedroom but I think it's too dark. Neither one of us are really sure if we like the color of the living room or not. I'm not too sold on that dark red / merlot color. I'm thinking that something lighter in there would work out much better but I hate to change it other then the cracked walls since they just finished it just a month ago or so. I don't know I guess Justin and I are just going to have to talk about it and maybe go to Homo Depot to look at some samples and see what we like. So I can tell that Justin is pretty excited about moving in. It will be a big change for him since he's moved up to the city since he hasn't really had a place that he's been comfortable with. I'm pretty excited about him moving in with me. I can't say what happened but things this time around seem much better for us. I think the truth is that we both needed the time apart and in those few months we both grew up a little bit. Maybe not grew up but rather put our priorities in order. I know that living together will not necessarily make things better because frankly they are pretty damn good, but will make things somewhat easier. As it is, he stays there all the time now anyway and it's more of an inconvenience for him to have to go back to his place to get things. This way we will both be together and will both have all of our things with us. It will also be nice for us to have a 2 bedroom because with having several computers and all of the books/living room things, it will give us so much space to spread out. It will really be nice in 6 months when Louis and Kalia come back and get the rest of their things out of the storage room. I'm afraid that Justin and I are going to get used to having things our way and being spread out and Louis and Kalia are going to come back for a few weeks and it will totally feel like an invasion of our space. I wish they could have just totally moved out but hopefully they won't stay very long before finding a new place when they come back. Or maybe even in 6 months we may want to move somewhere else and they could just have the place back. There are so many factors to consider that I'm not even going to worry about it right now. We are going to fix the place up the way we want it and be happy. So I think that I want to get a Tattoo. I'm not sure why but I've always wanted one since college. I'm glad that I didn't get one while I was in college because I know now that the one I was thinking about then would have been totally stupid right now. I used to think it was pretty white trash or maybe "bad-boy" rather to have a tattoo but that is just my conservative east coast middle class upbringing still hanging out in there somewhere. Hell my grandfather had huge tattoo of the American Flag on his forearm but I guess somehow it seemed ok when it was done by someone who was in the military and in the war. Times were different then right? Anymore I find that I really like them and I've seen so many different types of people with Tattoos that I no longer think of them as a bad thing anymore. It is just something else that makes us unique. Maybe next year I'll finally get one on my arm. I'll have to talk Philip into going with me since he wants one too. I know my Mom will freak. What a trip. Well it's starting to rain outside and today is more and more becoming the perfect day to sit inside of a coffee shop and write. I love days like this on occasion and I'm glad that I decided to come out today. I'm hoping that this next year will turn out to be a much better year then last. I think now that Justin and I are straightened out and I don't have to worry about that, I can concentrate on getting my life back in order again. Not that I need someone in my life to complete me but it always seems that when I'm in a relationship I always can be more focused on the rest of my life. I seem to be better able to get my finances straightened out, get organized and get everything together. In a way I'm really glad that Justin likes to go out and do things because he will definitely keep me from becoming to settled and not doing anything outside of the house. I know that I sometimes have a habit of doing that when I'm in a relationship. It's taken me a while to figure this out but I'm really in love with Justin and I'm glad that we were both able to figure things out before it was too late. It's amazing what a little jealousy can do to you. I guess we just knew how to heart each other. I think that we are both going to need some patience with each other but I don't think there is really anything that we can't work out. Alright well I think I've babbled on quite enough here. I need to take a break and maybe go out and walk around a little bit before Justin gets done work. I also need to get back home and move some things around to make room in the bedroom. Only 2 more days and then we can both totally spread out. # posted 3:15 PM |
