wobble-bored and square-pegged
Blearrgh...pardon my spelling and grammar today...the roomate was puttering around the house until 2am last night, his bulk making the floorboards squeak periodically, waking me up. If his insomnia continues, I'll have to put earplugs in on a regular basis. He just discovered the joys of online tricking, and is currently in the Kid In the Candy Store phase of late. Having been there already, I just want to get to bed at a decent hour. He has also been on an incredibly lazy streak, and when something breaks or needs fixing or cleaning in the house, it simply remains unfixed or unclean. He's the landlord, so this is starting to piss me off. And speaking of piss, it's his turn to clean the now rather crusty, sticky toilet. It better be clean by the time I get back from my weekend trip. I'm reluctant to even touch it to lift the toilet seat.
Sorry, I'm venting. I'm tired and grumpy. Now that I have my newfound financial independence, perhaps it's time for a move - to my own place. No way in hell am I buying, and perhaps I will wait until the rental market drops a bit more. It must drop, as I can't imagine it continuing on this skyrocketing pace.
I've also been disappointed in the friends department lately. For example, only one friend called this weekend, aside from my movie date. At dinner on Monday, Bob theorized it's because it's August. Everyone is Busy Busy Busy here in DC! Plus, I think I'm going through a change in myself and with my former group of friends. Some are pulling away, some I've grown apart from, and others I've found have not grown. These things happen, but are not fun. Perhaps the rugby season will produce a new crop of acquaintances.
The geek gang is getting harder and harder to get together for D&D as well. I still want to play. Some have moved far away, some have always been, and half the group is undependable and sketchy at best. Two people in the group cannot be reached for comment as of late. I guess we are all in our 30s and it's getting harder to commit, but hey, I'm willing, so why can't others? Perhaps it's time to look for other people. I still enjoy it, so I don't want to quit.
On a higher note, last night at the gym I saw a guy who I got a little excited over last winter. Scruffy, big cock, athletic, smart, kind, funny, nice teeth, and highly adorkable. I don't think it woulda worked out in the end, and he called things off himself, but it marks one of the few times in recent years where I felt excited about another guy since I broke up with my ex. Not just horny, but emotionally charged about someone. I was pleased to realize that I could chat with him without getting that jolt you get in your heart when you wanted something to work but it doesn't. I could have a civil chat with him and it was nice. And it was good to be reminded that I could get excited about a guy, as lately I have not, and have forgotten what it feels like to get crazy about someone.
I had gone to the one gym in DC that has the circular squat bar that surrounds you, so you can do squats on the square wobble board. But the square wobble board was broken, so I improvised with the round one instead, using small 2 1/2 pound rubber hand weights as the fulcrum.

Well don't count me out with the D&D thing. I needed to go visit the parents and had my birthday this week so have been kind of busy.
