It's that time again! (drunken entry)

[flyinbutrs]

Yup. I'm drunk. I went out with brett and vlad and ivan and damico and sam after work. And then had dinner at minar palace (great, cheap, indian), and then got home, at which point micah said "so, it's mardi gras, and I've never been sober on mardi gras in years, so we're getting drunk". Ok, I paraphrased. Sue me. But the gist of it is that I'm drunk. It's all good though.

I went skiing a couple weeks ago, which was awesome. I think I'll go sking again next weekend. Anyone want to come?

I haven't really LJ'd recently, becuase I kept thinking something worth blogging about would happend, but nothing ever really did. I guess. Micah is moving go guadalajara. Which is awesome for him, and kinda sucky for me, because good roommates are hard to come by, supposedly. I've always had awesome luck with who I lived with. even when I didn't knwo the people ahead of time, I've always had really awesome people to live with.

Which brings me to the "depressed drunk" stage, where I bitch about my life. Like, everything has always kind of come pretty easily to me. I think I lack motivation. I don't know what I want to do with myself. And I'm almost 25. People are going to be doctors and lawyers and other things that they seem pretty passionate about. I kinda feel like I do computers because it comes really easily to me. Not that I dislike it... quite the opposite. Ok, I have no idea what I'm bitching about anymore. I'm drunk... have I mentioned that?

Oh, but what I really wanted to bitch about, but got sidetracked is how I still have no girlfriend. As my last foray into fishing for complements proved, I'm not an unattractive guy or anything... I am, however, socially inept around women I'm attracted to. Like, I either a) do nothing worthwhile, or b) put my foot in my mouth something aweful. Occasionally, I can get past this, but not often. It pisses me off just a tiny bit.

Oh, and my brother might be buying a house.
And I have my car back.
Have I mentioned that I'm really drunk?

YOU SIR ARE DRUNK!

well yes, maybe you do computers because it comes easy to you, but hopefully its also fun. And even if its not, hopefully you are doing stuff outside of your job to fulfill you (or whatever, psychohoo-har) and it sounds like you are: skiing, socializing, developing you alcoholism. But yeah, 25? No direction? I AM WORKING AS AN ADMIN ASSISTANT WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENCY AND I HAVE MY MASTERS (that might change soon, but who knows), so I think I feel your pain. 25 is just a number anyway, I think its ridiculous how much people get hung up on ages and life events. As far as I know, the only people to ever complete the "appropriate" life/event trajectory are Brett and Sam. So basically...message to Brett and Sam: we love you, you are making all of the rest of us look bad. Please entertain us as means of compensation. Ahoy!

I went straight to law school from college, never thinking about what else I might want to do. Then I went to a law firm, hated my job, and had a huge existential crisis where I constantly berated myself for having gone straight to law school-- and taken on a 5-figure debt-- without exploring my other options. I wanted to leave the firm, but I literally had NO IDEA what else I wanted to do. I bought weird random "find your perfect career" books and tried to figure it out. I ended up lucking out and finding a job that I really love. But it's a one-of-a-kind job, and if anything ever happened to FIRE, I still wouldn't have the faintest clue what the hell else I would want to do with myself.

And even with a job I love, it's still the non-job stuff that I find more fulfilling. So if you enjoy working with computers, which it sounds like you do ("Not that I dislike it...quite the opposite"), I wouldn't worry in the slightest about not having a master career plan. Having a job that you like, that pays the bills and leaves you free time to pursue your other interests, is a really good thing!

Yeah, I just fell into this job too. I wanted to do software development when i got out of college, but couldn't get a job in it. Its only been over time that I have found that I really like my work here and prefer it to the soft dev route. I agree with sam about the out of work stuff too. I mean look at all the shit I do, Yoga, Aikido, blah blah blah.

Dude. i had no idea about the existential crisis. I guess what I'm sayin is you just make it look so easy

And lets be honest. Most of us wouldn't have jobs if we could get away with it. We would just fill our lives with all that wonderful extracurricular stuff we all like so much.

And you'll meet her, whoever she is. When it happens it happens. Until then there is no sense stressing about it. Relax. Chicks dig that.
