Halloweenkend

This weekend was crazy busy. Parties galore. And tomorrow night I'm off to yet another Science After Hours event! I love these things. I'm going tomorrow night and again in two weeks.

Seriously, they are awesome. My only wish is that they were on a Friday or Saturday night and not on a week night. Oh well. It's cool though.

Anyways, yeah last night I went to two parties. One was my friend Melody's place. We played a game called Werewolf. It's also known as Mafia.

We ate food, and drank some drinks.

Good times.

Melody and I are trying to plan a Scribbles and Nibbles party in January. Wine, appetizers and coloring books. Our other friend Patience doesn't like the name. She thinks it's "weird". Melody and I both think it's a fine name, sooo the name sticks.

After that party I went to another party out in West Chester. They were playing beer pong on the roof. The usual. It was a halloween party. Everyone dressed up. I went to both parties as the color pink. So I had on a pink shirt, and had a pink towel around my waist covering my pants. It would have been easier if I just had pink pants, but I don't. Still a good time.

Tonight I went to another friend's place to celebrate a birthday/halloween party. SOOOOOO much food. I just got done going on a run. About to hit the hay.

Now that I'm getting into November, things will probably slow down a bit as far as my events things. I can focus more on music and just organizing things around the house. I have a million boxes of papers to sort/scan/shred. I also plan, especially over my xmas break, to pack up and put some of my mom's things away in plastic bins. I mean, it's weird, but it will be a year this Friday on the 4th. So, I don't know. I'm just going to maybe do an item or two here or there. I mean, I have been doing that... But, maybe I'll do an item or two each day during break. For the last good 6 months I've been moving stuff around about 1 item a week...

Just trying to make this home more into my own touch. I'm in no rush. All of my friends keep telling me... "You should sell the house and move to the city! You should quit your job and go see the world... You should sell all your belongings and be free as a bird!"

I could. If I wanted that. I don't want that. I don't really like traveling or being free as a bird. And I don't much care for Free Bird either. It's an okay song but... I guess I'm just different.

I like having my house, my car, my 9-5 job, and my weekend parties. I like working on creating a little music studio to work on music, and a little writing space to work on my books. And I like trading my stocks and continuing to hold and increase my investments. And I like making small changes around my house. I've just never been one of those weekend road trip, vacation to far away destination people.

Like, I went to the Ren Faire a few weeks ago with this girl Kat... She's cool. I might say I even have a small crush on her. But we're not compatible. She lives downtown in the city, and she plans to move in a few years. She's going to apply to work for the foreign embassy stuff. She knows I'm interested. She's not interested back. Mostly because she doesn't want to settle down or have kids, or get married, or even be in a relationship any time soon. She's one of those free bird people. Wants to travel the world and see the sights.

Anyways, so to all the people telling me I should use my money to travel and see the world, and I should use my vacation in December that I have 2 weeks off from work to go to a far off destination I say...

Nah. That's okay. I have stuff around the house to do. I have a fridge to buy. I have friends having holiday parties nearby to attend. I'm good. A world traveler I am not. I'd rather just be cozied up under some blankets with a good book, or make some food and start the first show in a new Netflix series.

And one of these days I'll meet a girl that prefers that too. Who knows, maybe she'll be at Science After Hours tomorrow night! Maybe not. And that's okay. But hey, for now.... I'm kind of taking my dating efforts down a notch. I'll link up with someone when I link up with her. Right now I'm just looking for friends and things to do with friends. Should magical sparks turn on and it's mutual. That's fine, I'd go with it. But, I don't know... at 34.... I'm just not interested in chasing a girl around the world. If after that girl see's the world and she's had her world traveler free bird fix and wants to come back and hang out in Philly with me again? That's cool. If not... I'm not worried. There will be someone else. And even if there's not... There's SOOOO much fun things to do even as a single person.

Right now, I'm just living it up and having fun. Working and playing... and researching this new fridge that I want to buy.
