I have some Gmail invites, but I’m not sure how many I’m gonna give out. Post a reply and I’ll decide if I deem you worthy enough for the glory of Gmail.

Ugh, I hate it when I’m giving one of these classroom orientations and trying to be informative and authoritative and I start blowing a bubble between my two front teeth. How self-defeating is that.
Anyway, haven’t been doing too much lately. Mostly sleeping and playing City of Heroes. Last night I really wanted to play and was prepared to play too late, but by 10:00 I was falling asleep playing. When did I get old. Jeeze. I figured since yesterday was a workout and bike-ride day, I’d be full of vim and vigor, but no, I was literally falling asleep in my chair. Still having fun with the game though… I’m up to 8 characters now, but I only really play about three of them. Numbers 4 and 5 I wish I had time to play, but I make sure to focus on the three so I don’t get too far behind. Number 6 I really wish I could play, but she’s so redundant, it’s not even funny. Numbers 7 and 8, I just never really got into, though, I fully admit, I had fun with them for the three levels I played them up. Maybe when blu3warri0r starts playing, I’ll have an excuse to play them more. He says he’ll be starting next week, I’ll believe it when I see it, but I have to say, I’m really looking forward to believing it.
blu3warri0r is one of those people I really wish I had the time to hang out with more. We game once every two weeks, and that’s about all I ever see him. Saw him more when we were both doing RPGA more heavilly, but it’s gotten harder to do RPGA the last few weeks. I’m going to try to start pushing it a bit more as Year 3 starts to retire in the next couple months. Still, it’ll be nice to at least chat and fight evil with him on CoH.
I’m sorry for the fact that my latest moblog service has gone down. I’ve been really grumpy that no photo blogger has worked consistently since I started taking pictures, but they promise that it will be back online soon. I’m not moving again, I tell you that much though. I’m sick of moving all my pictures and leaving a trail of moblogs.
Got to pull something with my Baja the other day for the first time. Unfortunately it was corwin75‘s car. I’m sorry for ya man, I can only imagine (no, I can more than imagine) how much it sucks to have a car die on you. At least you were only a mile from home and not 980 miles from home and still 20 miles from your destination. Man that sucked. I hope that whoever you trade it in for can determine if the engine is salvageable or not, so maybe that will raise the “junk heap” value a bit.
And last but not least, we’re into the second week of the month, and I still have a fair portion of my allowance. How uncommon is that?

So now that I’ve got this cool new GMail account I’ve realized that I don’t get a lot of email. Makes me wish I kept in touch with people more, but I think I’ve burned a lot of bridges as I traveled through life… burned them or let them rot and collapse under age. I post on LiveJournal to tell the stories of my days and my life, but the personal connection isn’t there like it is in email. I talk to friends daily, the people I truly consider my close friends. I know some of us have had odds at times, but we’ve always mended our differences. There are others though that I have lost touch with, and no matter how hard I try to find them, they’re gone forever. Some I find, never to hear from them when I try to contact them. Some I find, just to find that the contact information I have is no longer valid. I have friends who still talk to and contact their friends from childhood. My childhood was quite secluded. I was a very shy child and thus never made a lot of friends. So, even though I went to school with pretty much the same people all through school, I never really had the same friend year after year. I think a lot of it had to do with where I lived. I didn’t really live in a neighborhood, there were no other kids anywhere near where I could walk to or ride my bike, so I was kind of isolated. The only friends I could make were the ones in my class, and since my classmates changed every year, it didn’t lend itself to making the same friends.
So now, here I am, in my early 30’s and I’m jealous of people who have childhood friends or chat with people other than those they work beside. I find myself lucky that the people I work with are actually my friends, but sometimes I feel the need to diversify. I’ve been guitly of being a hermit, too. Refusing to go out and do things with people when the opportunity arose, and as a result, have lost the chance of making good friends out of casual acquaintences.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not unhappy with my life. Sometimes I just wish there were more people to share it with, and that I still knew some of the people I’ve known in the past.
