new year's networking...

       gah! remember that match.com sub i paid for last month? yeah, i forgot to turn off the auto-renew. so i just paid for another month. i hate auto-renew. well, except on important things ...like netflix. and guess how many times i've taken advantage of that not-so-little subscription? yeah. none. this is where all my money goes. grrr.

       office christmas party in a couple weeks and i'm trying to figure out 1) if i want to go, and 2) who to go with. i won't go without a date. no way. so i'm currently taking applications. preference given to attractive men. intelligence is a plus but not required. it's just an office party, after all.

       so far doing well with the whole working out thing. or at least i'm still going. and i've remembered how much i like that muscle soreness after. i'm closing tonight then going, so hopefully it won't be as packed at 11pm as it was at 5pm on monday. i was kinda amazed how busy it was. kinda ridiculous, but i was still able to do what i wanted. i'm already noticing a marked difference in the hardness of my muscles, and my blood pressure and resting heart rate have plummeted. that's about it, but i wasn't even expecting those to happen this soon, so it makes me optimistic that it won't take quite as long to get back to an acceptable fitness level. but no, i don't plan to stop there. i want my abs back.

       i'm kind of accidentally forcing myself to have a social life again. but that was kinda one of my resolutions, too, so we'll just say it was on purpose. got to talk to my friend dan for a while last night, which is always ...having trouble finishing that sentence. we talk every few weeks or so, and it's always the best part of those few weeks for me. that wasn't an accident, though. but i did randomly meet some guy online later last night and we also ended up talking on the phone for a couple hours. he seems cool, but he's a little over an hour away. it's all friendly, though. nothing too exciting. and, of course, i'm all excited that garett is back. after being silent on the social front for so long, though, it was strange to have so much all at once. and i think i'm getting ahead of myself.

       k, i need to get some things accomplished before work. love to all. laters.
