man i am not good with these things and keeping them updated with the boring aspects of life...
I’ve been bad about updates I know. Lets see if I can remember far enough to cover what has happened since the beginning of last month when I posted about my mom’s birthday.
A friend of mine works for Werner music group and they became involved in the building homes for Katrina in Rockefeller plaza. So we all signed up and put some time into building windows for the houses. I felt better about not writing a check and actually physically doing something in a positive manner. I have a hard time getting past the apathetic attitude of writing a check and patting yourself on the back. So mission accomplished, I did something rather than just throw my money at a problem. I went with two of my friends from high school (sara and ayn) and we were paired up with this guy chris who had come down and didn’t have an assigned group. Seriously felt bad for this dude. Three girls who didn’t have much experience in hammering and building things and him. Bad combination. But I think we did all right, 6 windows in two hours. I learned how to properly hammer nails and in the process ended up with blisters all over my hands. I have been looking into things like habitat for humanity and other things to get involved in. I want to learn how to build things, further my stubbornness in not knowing “man’s work”.
Katie’s birthday was in September as well, so it was good to have some friend s from back home come out and visit. Other than that I haven’t seen much of her since she goes to her beach house and there was a trip to Boston in there somewhere.
Went home to Albany for a wedding. I went with an old friend whom I dated for 4 years when we were younger, still one of my best friends. Sometimes not the brightest. Took the hour and a half car ride out to Tannersville from Albany to the church, showed up at 4: 45 pm. No one was there. His response “ maybe we are the first people to arrive” and when I asked him if he had checked the time before we came out he said he did… a few days ago. Needless to say once we actually found someone in the church we were informed that we were 4 hours late for the wedding which had been at 1pm. Hour and half later into the car ride right to the reception (hour late for that as well). All in all once we made it though I had a good time. The girls that were in the wedding were people I was very close to when I was much younger, then the rough aspects of youth are applied and they decided I was not cool enough t o be in the cool kid club with them. I suppose it was for the better when I was not downing 40s in 8 th grade along side with them. I have to admit when you see those people “grown up” with pasts in the past it is oddly nostalgic. And married, man I will not even begin to dissect marriage for me. Bizarre, absolutely strange.
I have now found myself in that position in conversation and in general where you search your head for something intresting something that may offer up some sort of entertainment to share. I have been pretty quite lately. Days get taken up with work and then hanging after work. My parents have been coming down to the city a lot for work so it’s been good to get an opportunity to talk to them. Last night I sat down to dinner with my dad and just went over the up coming trip to North Carolina. I am a bit nervous to go since the last time I was there it was slightly uneasy for me to be in a similar situation with different outcomes (oooh ambiguous, I promise you its not that interesting just that sorted emotion details of past relationships gone sour) when your dad starts to offer up relationship advice and begins with “ well I am not a female so I am coming from a different side of it” you realize how ridiculous the conversation has become.
Going to see spamalot with my dad tonight. Busy week coming up, college thing on Thursday in conjunction to a photographic expo in the city. I can already tell you how it will go: social anxiety coupled with “so what are you doing right now, oh oh that I see, well don’t you feel like you are wasting your photographic education” I am breathless in anticipation.
