The latest chapter.

So life has been rather odd lately. I write this as I sit at home contemplating what next to move out of my single bedroom apartment and into my new digs with an old co-worker and one of his good friends, who have grown from acquaintances to friends and drinking buddies.

Why the change of scenery? It’s hard to say really. I really do like my current situation: I am walking distance from school and work, and downtown, I live near a really nice park and even closer to another good friend who I drink with more than seldom, and I’m generally a somewhat introspective, introversive type of person so the solitary lifestyle (insomuch as it is when I am home) appeals to me.

The new place, however, is cheaper. And my ridiculously great 10hr a week 1k a month job contract ends in about three weeks, so I will be forced to find a real job. Also, the house is really nice, hardwood floors, 12 ft ceilings, a stocked fridge (an amenity I have tried to have but never managed without funny smelling things) and a dishwasher (!).

The materials aside though, it will be nice to get away from this place (and hard at the same time) because of how much it reminds me of my ex girlfriend ( a story that I would have preferred remain locked away in daytime television). Finding her hair on my pillow and having the place exude memories is something that I could do without when she sends me such mixed signals these days.

Also, I’ve been missing a lot of school lately because I haven’t been well. - some kind of recurring, intensifying chest pain that the doctors can’t identify, and they should be able to, given the number of tests I’ve had done. I can uphold the perspective at this point that any news would be good news. And I haven’t told my parents. They’re three thousand miles away and would move up here and overreact.

What else… not a whole lot. Aside from my scholarly procrastination, I played my first night of rpg’s in a good four months last night which was entertaining in the least. Having a sacrilegious character is extremely so, having a character who is a conspicuously named ascetic with a halo who can walk on water. It brings character to an otherwise less lively than necessary game when you can yell “Jesus saves!” constantly without being one of those not-so-angelic hobos.
