Commissioned

Hi guys, long time no see. Long time in the ocean. And so on.

Guess what? Things are looking up!

Yeah, I have been on an impromptu hiatus for a while. You may or may not have noticed. After the events described in my latest post, I kind of lost my will to write (or live :P). However, I was reminded I have readers, and thus, I have obligations toward them. See, what happened was that me and Q (she's my latest ex) parted ways completely for a while. Then reconciled a bit, and are nowadays friends again. So far it's working better than expected, frankly. Yesterday, she was at my place, and told me she checks my blog every now and then, and she's hurt every time she sees my latest post. Now, being the incredibly fantastic example of humanity that I am, I simply couldn't let this travesty go on. So back in the saddle I get.

The cheeky smiley in the above paragraph will most likely be the only smiley ever seen in this blog. Enjoy.

So... what else is new? Let's see. School started again. I met with Lily (my penultimate ex) for the first time since we broke up. We talked a bit and agreed we'll try to be friends. However, after the conversation, I have only seen fleeting glimpses of her. Most likely it has been accidental, but I have got a vibe that she's avoiding me. It is a great big shame. She's a great person, and the time when we were friends, as well as majority of our relationship, was great time. I know this gives the wrong idea to y'all, but I miss her being in my life.

Ummm... yeah, I don't think I want to.

Rapids moved back to the apartment, and we also got a new flatmate. Say hi to Alucard! He's a funny guy and we get along great. I've also actually spent some time with Rapids, and turns out he's a really swell guy too. I don't think I could've got better flatties if I'd got to hand-pick them myself.

On the minus side, the workload at school will be swamping me this autumn once again. I already have something like four different projects going on, and I'm trying to hold a job as a clerk in addition to schoolwork. I've also picked up two bad habits I really didn't see myself doing: Drinking and smoking.

Yeah, I drink alcohol now. I'm not proud of it or anything, but I'm not going to be ashamed about it either. I don't drink in excess, and I've found it does wonderful in loosening me up. I'll keep it in moderation. The smoking is much worse. I am a bit ashamed about it. Q, Kotihiiri, Lily, Meta, Ray... anyone who happens to stumble over this, I know what you think and what you would say. Don't bother. I'll probably quit sometime later this semester, when I feel like it. Right now, I don't, which means anything you'd say would just annoy me. So don't bother.

Oh, and while hanging out with exchange students I found out what Arnold Schwartzenegger's surname really means! It's Schwartzen egger, Black etch.

And, I finally found the tattoo I want.
