Since last we met

Shit has happened, and much of it. I am now working 3/4 time on the uav project. I’m participating in Ro’s vision of a gay-oriented-but-not-exclusively-homo soccer team, and shocked at how much I like it. Unlike american football, here getting hit in the head with the ball is considered a good move, maybe that’s it. =)

I went to a friend’s wedding in Zanesville. She was my date to the junior prom, we knew one another from the swim team. Housing has been a roller coaster, though it seems we now have a 4/5 bedroom just north of campus lined up. Not signed for yet, though. Bleh.

For my birthday, on friday, we played the first game of soccer (in north berkeley, to and from which I biked) and then went wall climbing (my first trip to a climbing wall on over a year.) I was whimpering when it was all over. Next day I went to see Holes with Noah and Ro (a continuation of the celebration). Massive kudos to Ro for arranging it all, or at least trying to, on short notice, with something between half-hearted cooperation and highly appreciative inactivity on my part.

Had my first hit-on-by-a-client-I’d-seen experience. It was fun. Gave him my #. Sadly, he has not called, but he’s in an open relationship anyway. A date here, a date there. Another missing checkbook. Another gaming night at the EndGame (it’d been awhile). Had Nick over for dinner a couple times. Headed over to Nick’s place for some sleep-time companionship (all pants-on). Visited ‘s & ‘s place a couple times.

Meeting a couple half of which I was chatting with in Nov, the other half of which recruited me for fun and reindeer games from gaydar, the other day. Went out for ethiopian at Axum (right by their place), followed by super smash bros, kick ass good time. I think I love their section of Haight. Will return. I still suck as much as ever, and remain unable to figure out what the fuck is going on in smash bros.

Tim Lee’s going away party (same night as a cmu friends party, need to start making time for them, as well as a medic’s party), whee.

Finished Zelda, started Eternal Darkness.

Made arrangements to see X-men 2 on Wed with Ro, Simon, and Nick. Go back out to pittsburgh to sort my shit out for the final move.

Stay tuned for my review of Brave New World, with thoughtful commentary, More of my men-as-kleenex habit, vs my desire for stillness, and commitment.
