You're not living, until you're living with me


la la la la la la... okay, I admit, I'm completely addicted to that song. Whatever, it's catchy.

 

So I cut my hair. It's like an inch and a half long now. I was getting tired of the medium-longish length, so I it's gone now. I think I like it. It should be easier to maintain, so that's good. If I figure out how to add a picture at the bottom, I'll try that.

 

In other news, I have this friend who I was on not so good terms with for the last couple of months. She apologized, and she wants to work things out. I've long since gotten over the situation, but we were at one point really good friends. The only thing is that she's muslim, and she said that the reason why she was so distant was because of her religion. She said that she felt she had to abide by her religion more and not hang out with guys. Yet she was asking for us to be friends again. Strange? Yeah. I replied saying that I respect her right to be religious, but I don't see how she expects to be friends and still abide by her religion since me being a guy is not going to change. It was really making me uncomfortable that we would be friends one moment, then the next she couldn't hang out with me because her religion says it's not okay. We're really compatible as friends, but seriously--I don't want to feel like I'm compromising myself just to be someone's friend.

 

Work is coming along. I'm getting a little worn out since I've been working 40+ hour weeks. Still, I love my job. I'm getting promoted to fashion expert, which comes with a substantial raise, so that's pretty nifty. What's not so nifty is the fact that I'm working the next six days straight (eight hour shifts) and of the six, my crush is not working five of those. Not that he has to be there for it to be fun, but that's a long time to not see him. :P We're going to disneyland in a couple weeks with a couple of friends from work, so that should be interesting.

 

I've been talking to this guy on myspace for a while now. He's really interesting and eloquent (and it doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous). We've talked on the phone a couple times. I think I have a small, irrational crush on him. He has a boyfriend, and I've told him about my interest, so it's not like it's something that was going to be pursued. He's really sweet though. I was telling my friend that it's funny that someone who's totally my type and completely well rounded (who admitted to wishing we had more felicitous circumstances for a relationship) is on the other side of the country, and with a boyfriend no less, while I'm completely head over heels for another guy. But hey, at least I know they exist right? They're just hiding out in the north eastern corner of the country.

 

I've really been yearning to go out on a date lately. I think it might have to do with the last couple of movies I've watched lately, but I really want to go out on a date, damn it! Any takers? 0:) One of my close friends is actually in a love triangle right now, and I've told her that she's just showing off. It's hard enough to find one decent guy, when you take on two, that's just being greedy, in my opinion.

 

Let's see, what other completely pointless thing can I talk about? Ahhh yes, I will hopefully be attending a handful of concerts in the next couple of months. With any luck, I'll be able to go to an Augustana, hellogoodbye, and Fall Out Boy show this upcoming quarter! Oh and we're going to a gay club in a week, so that's exciting.

 

Well I think that's enough jibberish for one blog. Hope everyone is having a great time!

 

Hugs,

Richard

 

P.S. Shoot. The picture is too big. Oh well.

Hey Richie! :)

Sounds cool! I'd love to see it.

Oh my gosh! This is just like something I blogged about a long time ago! Here's the link if you want to read it: I guess I'm just another casualty in this battle. But yeah, basically I went through something really similar. It sucks :(:hug: I'm sorry :(

Thanks for the link, Kevin! I'm really glad I read it; it's nice to know someone else knows what it feels like. Do you mind me asking what came of it?

 

And thanks! I'll see if I can pm you a link to my new haircut... since I can't remember how I posted up pictures before.

Well, the blog entry that I linked to was from when I used to live in Louisiana. I moved about a year and a half ago. Prior to moving I was only out to some people. After moving I was just never in at all. So I guess you could say I "came out" when I moved about a year and a half ago, but like I said it was more like just never being "in" after that.

 

Great pic btw!

 

LOL, sorry but I don't have any! I'm notoriously camera shy I'm afraid, and the last time I was photographed I got a bit ticked off at the photographer (a friend who knows how I feel about it). It's kinda weird, it's not just pictures, I hate being verbally recorded too. I can't stand to have my voice recorded and I only leave voice mail for someone if it's really important or if I really care about them. LOL, otherwise I'd rather people just see and hear me in person.
