Today was a good day ...
Surprisingly enough, I feel really good today. It's kind of a rare feeling for me when I really feel like a part of my environment I suppose. But yeah, today was one of those days that just kind of flowed like I was happy about some choices I've made in life and some friends I've made. It's like I was at work and Megan and Vanessa came to visit me out of the blue & bought me lunch and it was like chill, you know? Little things like that are cool to me. If I get into Davis, at least I'll be able to keep that friendship intact and in close proximity, even though I'm still not used to the idea of being a NorCal person after being SoCal born and bred, you know? We'll see what happens.
I don't know though. I think a lot of this stems from the added confidence I'm picking up after dropping so much weight. It makes me happy to be social and hang out with people. I did it all weekend at WizardWorld and today I hung out with Megan and Vanessa and it was cool - watching E! and making fun of the NKOTB True Hollywood Story. But yeah, you know, I feel good right now, rare feeling. I do also feel the whole thing of wow, being single really sucks, pangs. I think I picked up on this at WW LA when I saw all the guys with their girls going through different comics and it reminded me how much effort I had spent in the past getting Joy into comics and how it was fun, but its always cool when you have a partner who is into the same stuff you are. While being there with my friends was fun [Lawrence, never had a clue you were so into MOTU] I think it would've been cool to go with someone like a significant other there. Hell, I saw Pam and Judd from the Real World San Francisco there walking around the floor looking at stuff holding hands and it was almost cute.
That being said, Judd and Pam still suck. RW3 was all about the Puck. Word.
Let me touch some more on WW LA while I'm mentioning this:
I met Ken Foree from Dawn of The Dead (1978) at WizardWorld. Easily one of the most amiable cult film stars I've met totally engaging and very appreciative that I saluted him for his cameo in DOTD '04. Mr. Hahn from Linkin Park -- bleh -- 'nuff said. David Carradine -- still bleh.
I bought a lot of Buffy swag, overall I'm happy with that.
So yeah, I think I'm caught up now. But yeah, one of the few times I'm not such a cynic about everything.
To be sure, I'm still very hateful and upset about some things I'd rather not write about in a public forum, but til' next time ...
You pal in solitary misanthropy,
