the weekend/ survey thing

the weekend was a great one, went ENTIRELY too quickly, but had a great time.  

this week, not going to be QUITE as awesome, namely because i get my wisdom teeth (3 of them) out on thursday morning.  tres nervous, never been under the knife, never been under general anesthesia, nada.  hopefully it goes alright.
 
i’m not going to go into all the gushy details, cause i’m sure that would just jinx the whole situation, but there’s a new girl in my life, and it’s making me that moron that can’t stop smiling.  that guy that the sad, bitter, and alone among us (ie: me a month ago) absolutely hated.  
 
i’ll leave it at that for now.  if you really want all the mushey mushey details, get at me and i’ll wax poetic about it, but i dont think chronicling and overanalyzing every second of my time with this girl is going to be my MO.  that hasn’t worked out so well in the past, just going to enjoy the ride, especially considering it’s my first foray into the dating world without meds, keeping a steady head is dually important.
 
if i dont get around to posting before thursday, wish me luck.  surgery’s at 8:15, and i’ll be on codeine by 9:30.  weeeee
 
peace.
 
also, spent a lot of time listening to young money, the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. 🙂
 

 just took an ambien, waiting for it to kick in, we’ll see if i can get this thing finished before i pass out at my desk…. stolen from ruby tuesday.

Personal Reflection
Did you reach your goals for 2010? ummm, i dunno.  sort of.  i dont really think setting concrete goals is always a good thing.  i think setting goals moment-to-moment, making choices that line up with your values, that’s what matters more…
Beside your set goals, what else did you accomplish? got hired full time, got off my meds, learned a shitton about myself, etc.
What is something you learnt about yourself? I have the ability to bounce back from just about anything, stronger than before.  
Did you do anything you’d never though you’d never do? Ohhhh yes.  5k? warrior dash? etc etc etc

In 2010, Did You…
Change your appearance? Not really, got a new tattoo, grew a beard…
Move to a new place? nope
Go to a concert? tons.
Go to a sporting event? totally.  lots of them.
Get a new job? same job, new ‘permanent’ classification.
Get a new addition to your family? not technically, but met people i consider close enough to be family nowadays?
Gain new friends? yes.
Loose old friends? yes. :-/
Get into a fight (verbal or physical)? verbal yes.  physical no.
Puke from drinking too much? of course, that’s how i roll.  although i haven’t been puking as much since coming off my meds.

Day at work or school? the one where i thought i was gonna get fired?
Embarrassing moment? once the video surfaced of me dancing on the bar at slippery pete’s?
