through the prism of my selfish world-view.

i didn’t mention last post that i wasn’t allowed to have soda for a few days after the extraction. which, if you know me, know how horrible that must have been. not necessarily for me, but for everyone around me. i kid, mostly. the headaches were the worst part, and i don’t think i was too snippy with anyone. Loopy would know more than i, i was busy drowning my sorrows in water. disgustingly boring water. in fact, i didn’t have to take any pain meds for the tooth pain, but did have to take some for the lack of caffeine headaches. the positive i this being that i have an ample supply for when its disco-party night.

that about covers the minutiae.

interesting week. and funny, i watched Season 5 of Doctor Who and all of the Sherlock series, and still managed to sit on my ass less than i would of in a normal week. world of warcraft is the devil and i’m going to blame my sheer abundance of mass solely on it. ok, maybe not solely, but why have any sort of accountability now? work is still the same tired clusterfuck, and i don’t see that changing. the completely bad-ass CIO at obsidian entertainment comped me the Fallout: New Vegas collectors edition. he also threw in a mug and t-shirt, for the promise of future handies (kidding?). if any of you haven’t played it yet and are interested, do so, its pretty fucking snazzy. robots, mutants and a dystopian western wasteland? sign me up anyday, pardner. i’m usually not much for first person shooters, but i found something deep inside that takes great joy with seeing someones head seperated from their bodies by a shotgun blast to the face (virtually of course). i’m sure Loopy is tired of hearing me giggle with delight after such a thing.

had a bit of a headache with the on and off again ‘dr. booty’. after a stellar span as a good friend, i’ve been relegated to the position of non-friend. solely because i refused to let him be my friend on facebook, and he couldn’t understand why. he had some harsh words that somehow brought to mind the pot and the kettle. thank god i wasn’t even going to try to wrap my head around the absolute crazy he was trying to push on me, my skull would have gone event horizon and we’d all be in trouble. and by all, i mean the small moons that orbit me. that means you guys! some friends are bigger than others?

thanksgiving and xmas are coming quickly, and this season, the plans are very weird. no different from the norm, i may work on thanksgiving. its something that never really bothered me, i never really had anything going on thanksgiving anyway. my family seems to be somewhat segregated the last few years, and we can’t really gel on getting together at the same time. i had a good time last year, spending thanksgiving with Loopy, Sister Christian and her Husband. no parents or extended, just us. throw in some crazy food, football, and some rock band and everyone had a ball. i’m anxious to do that again. sadly, living only about 10 miles away. i still don’t get to see my sister all that often. i miss her.

as for xmas, i’ve been on a schedule of visiting Loops mom one year, my family the next. this years my year to spend at home, and i’m not sure that i’m really looking forward to it. my father and step-mom do this little auction thing with her kids that they like us to attend. i went once before, and it was fine aside from being around a bunch of people i’d never met. i’ve also been told that we’re not exchanging gifts this year. i love buying and giving gifts, so this sucks. add all this to the fact that i’m actually taking vacation during the xmas holiday. its starting to look a lot like me, sitting on my fat ass, playing wow. i guess the positive is that since i’m not buying for the family, i have some extra to put towards Loopy’s fam and Loopy. the latter of course being a giant pain in the ass concerning a gift. want something woman!!!

i say this knowing full well that i’m just as big a pain in the ass when it coming to buying a gift for. asking for ‘world peace’ or ‘goodwill towards man’ probably does get annoying as fuck after the 3rd or 4th request. pressing my tiny brain into finding things not insanely expensive, if anyone has any suggestions, i’m all giant ears and befuddlement.

and thanks again one more time Dillz, the world is a better place with you in it (and not just because you gave me free shit).
