1. It snowed again. Pretty sure I didn't sign up for this. This just better not mean that spring/summer is delayed even further this year. I hate the cold.
2. Watched K-HYD ep 20. Finally JD is GJP's personal maid! And poor, poor GE. But it's okay because her relationship with YJ totally had to take this path or it would never work out. Also, whenever I watch this show I have this craving for ramen. It always looks so good when they're eating it. Which is ridiculously often.
3. Am still in the process of looking for house #2. So many on the market that we haven't even begun to really narrow them down. My dad is supposedly going to go around taking pictures of the exterior and interior (the benefit of having a mom who dabbles at being a real estate agent is the ability to get into houses with lockboxes w/o having to call another agent). The vast majority are 1-story homes, not sure why that is, but I'd prefer a 2-story. When/if I get any photos and more details, I will be sharing so I can get your guys's opinions.
4. Played many, many games of Word Twist. Lost nearly all. Sigh. Damn you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ropo.
5. My monitor is spazzing. :( It was working just fine the day before, but yesterday when I turned it on it started doing some massive flickering. It was constant. I have a spare monitor so I'm not completely freaking, but this one is my 24" and fairly new still. Sigh. The sort-of-good news is that after a couple of hours it stopped and worked normally. This morning it went through the same process -- flickering for awhile and now it's fine. But it doesn't bode well. Since it seems to do it whenever it's turned off for a period of time, maybe the solution is simply to never turn it off...
6. Had a weird conversation with an old WoW "friend." I'm not sure what to call him. I'm cutting this as onlyjade_okelani and akscully have ever met him, so others may find this information less than interesting.
So out of the blue yesterday, this guy's toon pings me. It sounds vaguely familiar. I know it's someone's alt, and I think it's A. (you know, rogue we used to know). And it's him. He starts asking how I am, etc, and being really chatty. I'm already leery. He used to always get this way when he was "in between interests" and would be all friendly, then when he got something to really occupy him, he'd drop you like a hot potato. Remember this?
Anyway, he's being really forward and pushy and reminiscing about the "great massage" that I gave him when we went to Oregon that time. Frankly I BARELY even remember that. I just remember him mentioning it several times since, over the years. Speaking of years, it has literally been that long since we last talked -- really talked, I mean. And suddenly he's bringing up the massage and how he'd like to get another one, and how he should come up and visit me, etc. He brought that up several times. I'm like, how the hell do I get out of this without sounding totally mean?
Like, I have nothing against A. He's a nice guy and all, and I'm not going to be like, "Fuck off." But seriously? Fuck off. I barely know you anymore, I don't ever think about the bit of fun we had that one time way long ago because when in Rome (we didn't even DO anything, though he makes it sound like we had something going), and I lost complete respect for you when you let that stupid ho you boned for awhile run your life.
He asked me if B. still had a huge crush on me. I didn't answer the first time. But then he asked it again, really insistent about it, so I was like, "I wouldn't call it huge. Plus we are good friends." And he apparently didn't know that all those videos of him doing WoW stuff IRL were on YouTube, and that was pretty amusing, because he watched those vids as well as the ones from Santa Cruz of B. And I asked HIM twice about Katrina, or whatever her real name was (I'm convinced there's no way that's her real name), but he ignored me both times. I didn't want to press it because I didn't want to sound like I really cared (thus giving him the wrong impression), and yet I was also really curious. The way he was coming on so strong, I had to assume that they aren't together anymore -- or maybe he was avoiding the question because they were and he didn't want to end the fun. Who knows? But knowing his behavior in the past, I would put money on the former. Which also, fuck off. Now that you're no longer with that skank you want to start something up with me? Buddy I didn't even like you like much BEFORE, much less after you've been tainted.
This would be so much easier if I could be like, "Sure, come visit. My boyfriend and I would love to show you around." Then it's like, I'm welcoming, and setting the line at the same time. Whereas as a friend I could allow him to invite himself up, but then he might get the wrong impression. I've never been good at being like, "Okay, but I'm not interested in you and this would be a friends-only thing," because it's so cringe-worthy if the other person were to go, "Who says I'm interested in you?" But actually, who really cares. If he starts that crap again I'm just going to be frank. And maybe I'll bring up Katrina again so I can use it to shame him and also get the skinny on what happened there.
