Forget Her
This time next week I’ll be in the United States of America, having spent the weekend out in Los Angeles. I can’t really believe it but the time has almost come. The holiday that I’ve been putting money aside for for so long has finally arrived, I’ve got all my stuff and I’m ready to go. In typical Goatie fashion though this isn’t the only thing going on in my life just now. There’s been a few interesting developments lately. I suppose one of the most important ones, certainly in terms of the subject matter of this blog recently, though not necessarily in my life anymore, is the fact that Rebecca and I are on talking terms and are ‘friends’. I’m only putting the term in inverted commas because she’s not the kind of friend I’m gonna go out for drinks with, but at least I can talk to her on MSN or have the occasional txt banter with, without it having any great effect on me emotionally. In the past this wouldn’t be the case but now I can firmly say 100% that I’m completely over her and there’s no more ammo in that gun, to use an expression I’ve just came up with just now. The other development is that the other week in Soul I met a girl that I’m quite taken with. It’s early days of course and I’ve only met her a couple of times but so far I’d like to think we enjoy each other’s company and are having fun together. Normally this kind of thing wouldn’t really warrant a mention in my blog but, and perhaps I’m reading far too much into it, I have a good feeling about things. That’s all I’m gonna say on it though, for fear of tempting fate, sounding like a desperado or just making it sound like I hardly ever meet new people, which isn’t the case.
In fact I was talking to some girl in Slaines last night about Movies and what we do for a living etc. She was less than impressed when I told her I work in the Oil & Gas Industry, because it wasn’t original and that “everyone in Aberdeen does that”. For some reason the conversation became quite confrontational. It wasn’t heated or anything but I just found myself going on the defensive a little bit. Having a student slag me off for having the degree I have (after spending 5 years to get it) wasn’t something I particularly enjoyed and kind of got my back up a bit. Also, I know Computer Science might not be the most exciting or cool degree to have but without “geeks” like me you wouldn’t have your precious facebook to sign into and look at probably every day, so less of your cheek! That was the basis of my argument anyway. Another thing, apparently every guy in the whole world’s favourite film is ‘The Shawshank Redemption’. For someone who was doing some sorta movie related degree at Uni I was quite surprised that she didn’t realise that maybe this wasn’t down to the fact that “all guys are the same” and that actually the film was damn good and contained a theme that a lot of guys can relate to. Anyway, enough about her. Thankfully they went to Espionage and we went to Warehouse in the end so that was the end of that.
Anyway, I’m in the process of annoying the hell out of my neighbours just now by doing a washing at 23:22 at night. I’ve got a white wash to do after this one as well which will probably keep noise levels up to an unacceptable level well into 2am. I have to get everything washed, dried and ironed before whatever day in the week it is I decide to start my packing. Probably Wednesday night. I’m supposed to be going out on Monday night after my guitar lesson but I still need to firm up the plans on that so I may end up packing other stuff a bit earlier just to get them out of the way depending on the outcome.
I’ve got a guitar lesson again tomorrow and typically I’ve left my only decent pick at my parent’s house so I’m gonna have to take a trip to Bruce Miller’s at lunch time and buy some more. It’s so typical though, before I left my flat today I thought to myself, I hope I don’t lose that pick because I’ll be screwed otherwise. I find it impossible to strum without a pick for some reason and the only other one’s I have are far too thick and sound awful so I kind of had all my eggs in one basket with that one.
Anyway, I really don’t have much to say I don’t think. I was just getting fed up seeing the old post on the front page and figured I won’t be able to update this while I’m away on holiday so I’ll get a post in now before it becomes a missed month. I like to get one in at least once a month if I can. That’s usually why the posts that come later in the month are mostly random and full of crap. Just like this one.
