Working for a living.... geez...

What a beautiful day it was today... certainly, spring has arrived to the small burg of Charlottetown... I'm still feeling kinda blah about yesterday's events... but I'm trying not to let it hold me down... I again spent most of the day with my friend, and tried not to let it show how hurt I was to what he told me yesterday... I have a feeling that he'll be spending more time with me, now that his girlfriend is gone.. although, he's told me he's got another in the wings.. damn.. the guy moves fast... pisses me off.. not a whole lot I can do about it, though... can't protest too much about it.. he'll disappear on me... and I don't want him to do that..
Moving day is slowly approaching.. I've got a month to find a place and get moved into it.. I'm thinking about trading apartments with my neighbor across the hall.. she has a 1 bedroom apartment, and pays about 50 bucks less a month for it.. sounds good to me.. she has a 4yr old son.. and she's thinking that it's high time he had his own room.. my 2 bedroom apartment would be perfect... I'm having some second thoughts on this one, though.. since my friend lives upstairs in the same building... maybe it would be better for me to move to another building... found a 1 bedroom in the paper today.. ground floor.. $420 a month... that's $105 less a month... well worth it... is non smoking, though... bro wouldn't like it too much.. little bugger should quit anyway, right??
I'm at work right now.. have got 3 and a half more hours to go.. and starting to feel crappy.. think the frozen meatloaf dinner I brought for my lunch is not agreeing with me... it happens sometimes I guess... oh well.. bring on the 10:00 go home call!!!
Anyway, that's how the world looked to me today.. how's your world??

What a day... a doozy, I'm sure

Well, as some of you know, I have a friend who I've had feelings for for a couple of years now.. I kept how I felt to myself for a long time, for a couple of reasons, biggest one being that he already had a girlfriend.. I finally got the nerve to tell him how I felt about a year ago, but I never got any real response to it.. last week, however, he told me that he and his girlfriend broke up.. so this got the wheels turning in my head, thinking that maybe I'll get my chance...
So, today he came to visit me, not like it's hard for him to do, seeing that he lives upstairs in my building.. *L* he sat down with me and we had ourselves a little chat... the conversation came around to an email that I sent him about 6 months ago, asking what, if anything, he felt about me.. I never got any response to that email, in fact, I had assumed that he never got it.. what he told me touched me and hurt me at the same time... he told me that he loved me very much, but he thought of me as a sister...
So.. it's another "don't want to wreck the friendship" scenerio.. I've got to tell you, I'm kinda getting sick of them.. seems that those are all I've been getting in the last few years... I understand his reasons, in a way.. we've been friends for years.. good friends at that.. but it's because of that friendship that he shouldn't have any worries... I mean, I wouldn't turn my back on him, no matter how bad the situation.. all he'd have to do is talk to one of my old boyfriends.. I'm close friend with both of them...
Just once, though, I'd like to be objectivefied.. to be used as a toy, a plaything.. I'm tired of this just friends crap.. perhaps I should just stop befriending males.. especially if it means that as soon as I'm friends with them, there's no chance of sex..
That's not all I'm looking for, mind you.. I really care about this guy.. in the last couple of years, he has been a bright light in an otherwise very dark world.. he's been a very good friend to me... but I wanted more than that.. I don't want to be like his sister... I already have a brother, thank you very much, and trust me.. one is quite enough... I want a boyfriend... a lover, partner.. someone to share my life with.... I don't want to live my life alone... at this rate, I see myself 20 years from now.. living in some crappy apartment, alone, with 47 cats... I'll be Charlottetown's next crazy cat lady...
Anyway.. that's enough for now... thanks for letting me vent about the lastest chapter in my depressing little life..

Internet Scavenger Hunt - Details

I've been asked to elaborate on my idea... this is pretty much how it would work.. but details can be hammered out.. I haven't gotten much interest, so it may just die out.. but maybe after I give some details, interest will increase...
Anyway.. the way I thought it would work would be this.. I'd give a list of things to look for.. they would either be pictures or websites.. participants would have a predetermined amount of time to find these things... each one found would garner a point... player with the most points wins bragging rights... *G* bonus points will be awarded to itens that interest me (ie, a site that I would go back to or maybe even bookmark) or something that makes me laugh...
Some rules I've come up with so far... list may grow if the game actually gets off the ground and I get some imput..
1. No pornographic sites
2. No sites that could be considered hateful (ie, white sepremisist, anti-gay, etc)
3. For items that are pictures, no photo upload sites (flickr, photobucket). Galleries, such as This one are allowed.
If there happens to be a tie in points at the end of the game, there will be a tiebreaker, which will not be announced until it's needed... better that way, I think.. keeps things honest.. *L*
Anyway.. that was my idea.. so, if it sounds like it might be fun and you're interested in playing.. leave a message in the comments section.. I'll give another week for interest... so, next Wednesday is the deadline if you want to play the game... I'll let it die after that...

New Game

I had an idea for a new internet game last night.. I haven't gotten all the rules hammered out yet, but I'll throw the idea out and see what kind of interest there is.. I'm going to post the idea on the LSD section of PEI Info to see what kind of interest is generated there as well.. I was thinking mainly blogger particpation, but perhaps we can figure a way for non bloggers to participate as well...
I suppose I should say that the game was.. an internet scavenger hunt.. *G*
Anyway, if you're interested in participating, or have any questions... leave a comment.. I'll give a week or so to generate interest and we'll see how it goes from there..
