Metaphysical Wellness Weekend

Alright, so not quite, but it was a damn good weekend overall.

Friday night's party was a blast. Hung out talking with one of the blackbelts and his wife for most of the night. No appearance by my current interesting person, but I had fun anyway. Lots of beer was consumed, and a general good time was had, I must say. It was nice to get out among some new people and just relax. I've got to learn to dress down a bit. I've been dressing a bit too uncasual for this group. Since most are college kids or close to that age, they dress more in t-shirts and what not. Considering my recent trend has been the opposite direction to slightly more dressy type things (normal for me in winter, can't stand it in the summer though), I look very out of place for the most part. Very "metro" as someone put it the other day. Not really my intention, but I've been called much worse, so..........

Saturday was surreal. I got home around 3:30 Saturday night, got up at 8:15 for work. I felt kinda drunk still, which was odd considering I felt stone cold sober when I got home. I shook it off, went in, worked a few hours. I then went and bought 3 new pairs of shoes, and I went car shopping. I've been looking for a long time, so I knew what I wanted to look at. I got no help at all at Columbia Hyundai. I literally waited almost 40 minutes for a salesman. I finally got fed up and left. My mom called, and she was up by Cincinnati Mills, so suggested we meet and go car shopping up that way. I met her, we went to Superior Hyundai, and lo and behold I found what I was looking for.

So, I bought a car Saturday!!! 2005 Hyundai Accent, red, 4 door. Gets 26 miles to the gallon city, 32 Hwy :) :) :). After the monster of a gashog the Jimmy was (think 12 to 18 miles to the gallon), this is a dream come true.

I drove it down to the Nine Inch Nails concert on Saturday night with 3 of my friends. We had a riot. The parking was surprisingly convenient. The show was great, and the seats turned out just fine. Party time again :P~~~~


So, after partying hard all weekend, I was beat Sunday. I really didn't do much of anything. Other than read a book, which I finished. I was surprised to finish it, since I started it Friday, but alas, I did. Looking back I realize I DID read for 5 hours Sunday, but still.

I'm feeling pretty good at the moment. I've had good talks with two friends, one on Friday and one today, and that has helped temper the disappointment I felt last week. I finally got in touch with my friend in China to start making those arrangements. He wants me to come in June, but that will interfere with my next belt test at the dojo I think. It really depends on what kind of surgery I need to have on my foot. I should find that out around the 8th of March, when I visit the orthopedic specialist. We'll see what he says, then I can make more decisions.
