yesterday was giddy. absolutely. i kidnapped cute-boy-from-work and we went gravel traveling over our lunch break...i may have been a little quicker to agree to work the weekend because i knew he would be there. [guilt guilt guilt] after our excellent night on friday night, it seemed very natural. then, during work, matt asked if he could come out with us after work. and at first, i was hesitant, but what a night. lots o' giggles at work, then andy and i sitting in my car waiting for matt, then we went driving. i showed them my farm, my special cool nature spot-cum-cemetary, and a bunch of other things. we peed in a public park in a small town i know, and then we ended up in small towns i didn't know.; at all. we were, in a word, lost. it was still fun. the whole night was fantastic oldskool [with a k] music, with andy the only one knowing what i mean about so many things. thw two of us jamming out to hootie and the blowfish or phil collins or rob bass or queen....yeah. all music is good music, sometimes. and matt was chill, really chill, and i do like hanging out with him even if it only happens once a month or so. but andy was something else. i don't know. garsh.

work today was cool, very chilled-out productive day. except for the buzz-killing QA meeting afterwards. but i have been having a pretty swell evening anyway [by myself], from what i can remember anyway.

tonight i'm having an adventure in beer--samuel smith's organic ale (UK) followed by "hitachino nest" red rice ale from japan. tim, i recommend it--light, bitter, and fruity. wow. really impressed. i'm even drinking it at room temperature, just because i'm lazy.

off work tomorrow [coincidentally]. i have so many things i want to do: hike, vacuum and wash my car, see angel or andy or sonyl or any other friends, paint my bedroom/bathroom....but i must figure out my bedroom. in my own house, for the first time in...seven or eight years...i am deciding what it's going to be like. i am getting so comfortable here--goodbye, pink carpet; hello, a room with space for my projects and pictures of things i still actually give a shit about now that i'm almost 24.
