Getting Away

February 20th, 2005

I'm in a weird mood right now. I just want to be away from everything and everyone. Think I'll go to the office after straightening up. I have things I need to do and I just need to get away. I just…need to get away. If you're looking for me, and I seem to be hiding. I am. No offense to anyone.

I Swear I Didn’t plan on this

February 20th, 2005

So I stayed out late again. I swear, I had no intention of doing this. It just happened. Guess that speaks to the friends I have.

So yeah, when I went out tonight. I figured I'd be out for two, maybe three hours at most. To be honest, before I left, I really didn't feel like going. I've been in a bit of a funk the past few days, and today I was just not up for doing anything. Of course, this was before I got to the party.

Now, this party was nothing like the Beach/Demo party (1 or 2). It was a lot more chill. Just people hanging out, listening to music, talking, playing pool, and a little drinking. And it was really what I needed. I wasn't as distracted as I was last night, although there were a few moments. But yeah, it was just a really good experience. I'm glad I went.

Of course, my sleep schedule is now completely off. Oh well. I'll figure that stuff out tomorrow. Hopefully. Anyway, night all.

Climbing and Such

February 19th, 2005

Tonight was fun. In one night, I went climbing, bowling, and saw a good chinese movie. All while hanging out with good fun people. It was definetly something I needed.

Basically, it all started this afternoon when I messaged Thais at work. Figured that I would say hey, and that would be it. As seems to be the case, Thais had another idea.

After a series of emails, it was determined that we should go climbing (after working out), and then go out after that. Since I didn't have much else to be doing, I decided, what the hell, why not. So after work, I quickly hit up the Pro Club, met Thais and Chris for dinner and then it was off to the gym.

Now I have never really been climbing before. But Thais and a bunch of our friends are all about it. So Chris and I took turns floundering around on the rock walls, as various people helped us get around. I actually found I enjoyed climbing. It's very relaxing and it's a pretty good workout. Suffice to say, I had a good time.

As the climbing gym was closing down, our friend Nikki decided she wanted to go bowling, so a bunch of us left to go to the alley down the street from the Gym. We met up with Alan, another friend, and waited for our gym. Nikki got a bit impatient, so she and two of her friends went down the street to a bar to wait. Of course, when they called our names to bowl, Nikki and her friends were gone. So Thais, Alan and I bowled two games (while Chris watched). I bowled alright. I made it over 100 for both games; barely, but I'll take it seeing as how I was a bit distracted with things on my mind.

As we finished our last game, Nikki came back and we all decided to goto Alan's brother's place. (Alan is staying with his brother while his house is being rebuilt) So we all drove there, hung out, watched “Iron Monkey,” and just chilled till 4:30 in the morning. Dan (Alan's brother) arrived shortly after we got there, and music was put on, drinks were poured, and we just had a very pleasent time.

So yeah, good evening. A lot better than I was expecting. Hopefully I'll get up at a reasonable hour so I can get some stuff done. I have a party tomorrow at Chris's which should be fun. Alright, gang, I'm going to bed. I'm beat.

February 17th, 2005

I don't know why I'm posting. I dont' really have anything to say. I just feel a need to say something. Anything. Yeah…I'm tired, but yet can't bring myself to goto sleep. I'm not sure if this is a form of insomnia. I just feel…restless.

Life and Times

Many Networks, Many Friends

February 16th, 2005

So, I was reading through Zoji tonight and realized just how many web network sites I'm a member of. I troll Livejournal, the Facebook, Zoji, and occasionally orkut (although this is a very limited thing). Seriously though. I troll a bunch of these websites, trying to keep up with various friends. At the same time, I often feel like a slacker because I don't update on them. I just kind of lurk.

But yeah, I troll these various sites. And each one seems to be rooted around different groups of people. I go through Zoji because my friends in Seattle are all on it. It's how I find out about parties and other such things. Livejournal, on the other hand, is (with the exception of a few people) entirely for Princeton people. Either directly or indirectly, I keep track of various people I know from school via their livejournal. Finally, there is the Facebook. The facebook is something I only still trawl because, as more schools are added, more and more people I went to high school with are joining up. Mind you most of us are now out of college, but still. It's cool to kind of see what happened to so and so.

I also try to comment on various things. Which is why I actually have memberships, or at least maintain them. Commenting gives me a sort of way of staying in touch with people. Even though there is IM, the Phone, and E-mail, comments seem more like a conversation. I think a lot of it has to do with the culture of the things. Cell Phones and IM just really really impersonal. Like you're talking, but you're not. And E-mail tends to be either super-informal, or very formal. But blog comments…they just seem different. I don't know why. They just do.

So that's about that. I didn't goto martial arts tonight. My knees have been bothering me the past couple of days. I think I need to devote some time to getting them stronger before I go back. Sigh…I blame my mother and her genetics for this. (She and her 3 brothers have had knee surgery) Oh well. At least I'm already working out, so it's not that big a step.
