I don’t remember much about the day. It was bland, but the evening was excellent. I set up a projector on the ceiling of my living room with a friend and played XBox for hours. After we burned out, we went for a walk, exploring construction sites and fleeing drunken herds leaving the local bar in droves.Closing time. To top it off, we finished the day with a game of AOE 2, a classic, and several rounds of my favorite BF2. Playing with my ‘clanies’ is a lot of fun. Like I said, I’ve been discovering the wonders of more intimate online gaming, as in anything but XBox Live. Going to bed at 5 AM.
Cheers.

A tremendously productive day. After cleaning house, taking care of the car in more ways than 4, and getting a job offer, I think I’ve done what I must. I woke in a very bad mood as I was in pain, only 4 hours into my rest. My mother was asking for my computer. But before she left, already late for work, I asked her to help me fix my headache and soreness. Despite my being rude to her, she thought nothing of it, and helped me kindly, as only a mother can. It is true, the older you get the more there is to learn from parents. I want to do stuff.
Cheers.
I just applied to a clan in one of my favorite games. I hope it does not consume me. What a terrible hobby, to spend all of one’s time on a game where all skill is useless. I tried to spend the day resting, but my body still aches. I’m ridiculously sore. Everyday things like STANDING UP are horridly painful. A hot bath before bed, it is. I hope to start work soon. Seriously.
Cheers.
Today left me exhausted. I was up too early, packed all my things, and drove back to Denver. After I got there, I met with some friends and we went with a group to a trampoline park, a trip that I’d organized. It was a blast. Watching people do frontflips for the first time was wonderful. Teaching them was even better. I was approached a few times by friends thanking me for bringing them. I was honored. We’re not traditionally a very active group, but I want to see if I can start something. I’ll see in a week. I have some things to take care of now that I’m back and I’d really like to do them before I get lazy again. I hope you all are enjoying your time and using it well. It is precious.
Cheers.
“My trouble is that I try to cover a part entirely. When you do there’s the danger that the patron will leave the theatre feeling that you are so perfectly suited to the character he has just seen that he can’t imagine you in any other part. (…) Mothers with children ran from me in the street. Terrible letters came to me. Letters came from strange people; people who I never believed lived in the world; depraved and disturbed minds, thinking they saw in me the perfect companion, a fellow psychopathic. A success can be too great, I tell you.”

Wrapping up. I did something I haven’t done in a lo—Ever. I gamed online socially. With a friend and his friends, we played an old RTS. It was a thrill. Other than that, I built myself a new computer out of parts graciously and generously provided by Seth. Thank you. A simple day of rest. Tomorrow holds much more. Here’s something special, also provided by Seth.

Double digits. I haven’t forgotten. But I will be brief. I’m in bed, and tired. It’s amazing to me how different things are between Denver and my hometown, Colorado Springs, 60 miles south. I would be an entirely different person had I stayed. No aspirations. No moral compass. The idea of a good relationship is one ripe with drama. It’s frightening. My old neighbor and good friend is on number 5 of a string of bad boyfriends over the last 4 years. Drinking, smoking, and the mall are about the only pass times. “Let’s go out and do something fun/creative/constructive/helpful/interesting” are phrases VIRTUALLY unheard of. Another old friend’s idea of a good time is spending all afternoon at a cafe. Daily. I’m so happy to be away from this place. I have tried and failed to help them. RIP.
Cheers.
Has it really only been 9 days? I like this, as it reminds me how far I’ve come and how much time I have. I woke today and headed right over to my friend’s not-girlfriend’s house for some yard work. It was nice to wake, clothe myself, and step outside into the street and just sit there for a bit. We worked painting, peeling old paint, and mowing. W/e. $50. Hard to gauge how successful I am in doing things I need to do when I have nothing to do. Tomorrow brings rock climbing and hopefully visiting other friends.There’s something else to do. Maybe I’ll even eat some pudding.
Cheers.
Today brought many things. I woke up, went grocery shopping for 2 hours, helped mom, drove to my home town, visited my pseudo-grandmother, met with an old friend, and went rock climbing indoors for 2 hours. My arms are exhausted, but I’d very much enjoy taking on a new hobby. One where I can reach great heights. No, not flying. I already do that. This old friend of mine learned much from me. In many ways, I taught him how to be sociable, and mentored him in life. Now I find myself envying him. He has such drive and focus, it’s amazing. I’m jelly indeed. Perhaps he can teach me his ways.
Cheers.
