Can't remember if I mentioned it yet, but I think we have a show coming up next month on the 25th, which is a Saturday. There are absolutely no details yet regarding venue, other acts, or even whether it's here in town or not. From what I could gather from JRP, he was in contact with one of the local "music scene" groups, and it came up. I hope it comes through, but I'm not holding my breathe.
I ended up hanging out with Meg_D again on Friday...
I had a big thing typed up of the evening, but decided it was a little mundane. and I didn't want to focus/dwell on the details of it. Essentially, we went to Lou's for a show, it was a good time, I got to talk with a bunch of people (some of them were even cool!) and she & I had some good quality conversations. I sent her a text the next day to say thanks for the invite and that I'd had a good time, and got a reply that she "had a blast" and that she was still a little drunk, and I got a "thanks for everything" in return.
She's really good for me to interact with - beautiful, smart, thinks I'm a cool, genuine, good guy, and also thinks I'm attractive; it's a real "helping hand" for my self-esteem. I can also tell that when I get a chance to talk with her, I'm a lot more positive about life in general. She's a big positive influence - I need to find more friends like her. It occurred to me the other day that, if I were to never find anyone, romantically, that having a few friends like her would likely be enough to keep me going. Obviously, we're not going to be dating, as she's engaged (or practically so - I don't know if it's official. If she were single, I'd love to date her, but I don't see her as the one I'd end up with). She keeps telling me she's a good "wing-woman" though, so I'm hoping that she might eventually be able to introduce me to someone. Even if not, her positive vibes are really helping me to be more open to things, so I might be able to meet someone on my own even!
Oh yeah, I called my uncle out of the blue last night. Well, out of the blue as far as he was concerned - he and one of my dad's other brothers used to hang out & shoot pool once a month or so, just as a way to keep in touch. My dad, and his whole family, are very quiet, reserved people, and it's been well over a year (maybe even 2-3?) since I've seen them. For some reason, this uncle has been coming to mind the last week or two. I drove past where I remembered his old place to be last week, but wasn't sure he still lived there. Last night, I ended up out by him & stopped at a pub, so I grabbed a phone book & called him. Unfortunately, he's an "early to bed, early to rise" kind of guy, and he was in for the night. He did say he'd contact my other uncle & see if we could get the pool thing going again, so that made me feel pretty good. The two of them remind me quite a lot of my dad - physically, they both look very similar, they have similar voices, mannerisms, and behaviors to my dad, and there's something comforting about being around them, even if I sometimes feel a bit awkward about it. Sometimes, I really miss my dad.
Speaking of parents, my ma & g'ma finally got a clue & have been giving me space. As I'm starting to feel better now, I'm thinking about getting in touch with them again. The only hesitation I have is that they're going to want details about why, etc, and I don't really want to get into it. Still, I can't avoid them forever...
Oh yeah, paint is all but done in the kitchen, just have to do the ceiling in flat white. Does anyone have an idea as to whether I should install the crown moulding first, or just get the cabinets up 1st? There are no areas where the cabinets will meet/interfere with the moulding, so I could do it either way.
