I'm sorry for being fat and stupid. Padams took pity on me.
Got word from my old company that my patent application was sent to the USPTO. I also found out that I will be hired as a full time research scientist at my current company when my contract is up at the end of the month.

Among the males in my PE class, I can do the most crunches in 2 minutes. It's minor, but I still feel proud about it.

Worked my rear end off to finish my section of a project that was due back in August (wasn't even working for the company at that time). Got an email from my boss this morning saying I did a great job and even though I've only been with the company for a month, I'm getting a raise.

The downpour stopped long enough for my ride into work, and stayed off until I was able to cover my motorcycle. That's the sign of a good day to come. :D

Today has been amazing for a few reasons. Firstly, it's me and my girlfriends one month (hopefully with many more to come), NC State (the college I attend) beat UNC(our rivals) for the fifth year in a row in football, and I have spent the entire day kicking back and relaxing and having a wonderful time.

I bought some articles of clothing online from a company I've bought from for years now and when they arrived, I found they were all too loose on me. I was pissed that their quality had succumbed to the vanity-sizing and/or cheap materials to lower the cost of production thing that a lot of companies are doing lately.

I packed the things up and mailed them for return today, vowing never to buy from that company again, but before I sealed the package I thought to pull out my measuring tape. The reason the garments were too large for me is because I've lost 2-4" from all of the various places around my body on which they are meant to fit snugly, not because the brand has gone to hell. Seems my new job after prolonged unemployment is doing me a world of good!

I've reordered in a smaller size and look forward to receiving my spanking new clothes very soon.

Observing this filth unsettles me
Today I won(through a FB contest) what I am pretty sure is a rare copy of Mark Danielewski's book The Fifty Year Sword, which is extremely rare on it's own and retails for at least 700 dollars online. Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo.

I had never seen anyone make sweet love to a banjo like this before.
The dude I went out with last week turned out to be a jerkasaurus rex, but I guess when God closes a door he opens a window, because last night I met up with this dude who I met really briefly at a party. We've been texting all day for the last two days, making each other laugh, and he is super loving awesome and he thinks I am super loving awesome. Last night we finally hung out one on one and it was, dare I say it, super loving awesome. Also he looks like Bob Dylan.

Plus: I'm leaving for a trip to Portland today! No school or work for four days; just cozy weather and some awesome relatives that I haven't seen in about 12 years.

Yesterday, but we went to dinner with a few local friends, and because we now live in an awesome 'hood, it was a 5 minute walk to the restaurant. Made us both realize how loving great it is living there, and how glad we are that we left our old, really terrible neighborhood. Just one of those big rear end sigh of relief moments. Made my week.

I have a date on Friday. Two, actually, though the first is just a friend date. The guy I was dating at the end of the summer and I stopped being involved but we are good friends and we're having dinner. Then he is taking me to an as yet unnamed bar to meet a friend of his -- a friend that is apparently quite interested in me. From there my friend is going to leave us be and let us decide what we want to make of each other. I've never actually been on a blind date so this will be fun (or awkward or a total disaster -- whatever, it'll be interesting.)

I'm amused at how much work my friend has put into this. And it's awesome to find out that after the fun we had actually dating doesn't end just because we're no longer intimate.

I kissed her last night.

My friend of 8 years. I realized I had feelings for her this time last year. I was a total dork about it and asked her if I could. It was really awesome.

the good part is that if it turns out it was a one time thing. I'm positive that this wont ruin the friendship.

I loving love my job. I get responsibility, freedom to do things how I want to do them, freedom to decide what I want to do, a couple of people to tell what to do, I get consulted before decisions are made, my opinions are valued and I am listened to, but most of all the people I work with are great. Honestly, I could be paid minimum wage and I'd be happy here.
