So, in preparation for my new roomie, Becca, I started organizing/getting rid of things to make space etc last night. Well usually when I start ‘organizing’ I always first end up with a much larger mess than expected and it takes forever b/c I get sidetracked about a billion times.
I started pulling stuff out of the closet n the basement and remembered my atari and coleco vision. I got so excited about bringing everything to the upstairs floor and hooking it all up and playing again. I started looking at my games, and found all the wires, the controllers, the coleco vision console but no atari console in sight. Why would I still have everything but my console???!!!
Then I vaguely started remembering that I might have let my ex borrow it. Quite honestly I’m not 100% sure, but I feel like he asked me to use it (even though I had bought him one off ebay one time, but mine was much much cooler, b/c it was the ‘newer’ version 4300 I think? and it was small….)
Anyhow, I was pretty dissapointed. For a few moments I even thought about sending him a text about it, but decided against it. We haven’t talked in a while and not talking to him is more important than my atari.(I guess I have to get another one from ebay if it doesnt turn up)
The thing that really really got to me is waking up exhausted from my dreams. Do you ever have those nites where you wake up and you feel like you’ve been dreaming for literally hours and hours? That is how I felt. Just from him entering my mind about that damn atari I had really bad dreams all over again about the whole situation and him and Rachel. It was like just hours of torture in my sleep of them being together and me watching.
It sucked and I hated how he could get back into my head so easily without my consent!
It’s fine though. I’m having a decent Friday.
Aside from that, after going through my dvds and giving some away to my sister I realized that Grant has my Season 1 of Arrested Development. (and still owes me money). I actually can’t help from just being pissed off every time I think about that situation.
In other news, things have been pretty good lately. Work has been manageable, we’re starting to meet about the trip to India soon and laying the prep work to make things go smoothly as possible. I will be in the high 90’s prob during the Midwest’s shitty crappy Feb. and March. I think it’s going to be a good experience for me. Challenging and great for my resume to be leading the transition and working in India for a little while and also cool for me personally b/c its a country I’ve always wanted to go to and when would I get the chance to go for over a month and have my flight and everything paid for. My hope is to really make the most of it and meet some ppl to show me things during non work time. I’ve read Chennai is not the most touristy city in India but the idea of just experiencing it for what it is, is appealing. I’m thinking of trying to do a week of travel after work is done, if possible too, but we’ll see. First thing is getting training materials prepared.
Enough rambling I suppose.
Happy Friday folks
