So I'm making this post before a month has gone by, because I'm excited about my new toy... My mom got me a netbook for graduation (finally) and so I'm sitting in my living room using it while Anna hogs my desktop to look for jobs. Except I don't think that's what she's actually doing. Eh...
So I guess I should get back to my "story." I don't know how much of it I should tell since part of it is Anna's story too... Anyway, I was sort of in the process of hooking up her and Jon (which means I introduced them and they hung out a few times) but that didn't really work out, to say the least. Meanwhile she met Chuck, and they seem to be hitting it off rather well. Anna, Jon and I went down to Royal Oak about 3 weeks ago now I guess, and went dancing at a couple different clubs and stayed at Chuck's new house... It was a lot of fun.
That was a Friday night. The next night I was supposed to go to Dan's sister Melanie's birthday party at the Brant Bar, but didn't really have the money or the gas. I told them I wasn't going to come, even though Dan offered to come and get me. But then some other drama occurred there, which I'll not get into now. If you want the story ask him. It will have to suffice to say that we are no longer speaking, and I'm under the assumption that his family is also no longer speaking to me, which is really no loss on my part, when I really think about it. They never did like me anyway, and I assume that his sister was only ever nice to me in hopes that I'd get back with him. I don't know. Either way, it's all over now. If you want the details, ask; I don't want to go into it here.
Also within all this, Jon told me that he likes me. I didn't do anything about it, or really intend to - we hung out fairly often, particularly the week of my birthday. That weekend, I went and hung out in Bay City with him and he took me to dinner and we went out to Westown to go dancing again... and well, he started to grow on me. :P I guess I've always thought he was cool, but I never really thought of hm as anything other than a friend because we were both in relationships. But those both fell apart. I had every intention of staying single and unattached for awhile and getting some kind of direction for my future planned out, but... things don't always go according to plan I guess...
Stay tuned for the next installment? I feel like I'm writing a soap opera...

Well, now that I've let an entire month go by without a post, I should probably get something down if I'm going to continue telling people I have a blog. Not that I've told anyone lately. Regardless, it's February, and as usual I detest February and the unpleasant events it brings. For example, I went over on my minutes on my phone for the first time EVER since I got the phone 3 years ago - and not just 5 or 10, something like 150. I don't even recall being on it that much. I'm trying to decide whether I want to argue with Verizon about it or not. Eventually I'll go through my call log at least. Also, at the end of this month I will mostly likely be roommate-less. Not that Jeff has really set foot in the building for the last four months or so (except to pay rent, which was admittedly pretty cool), but he finally confirmed that he does officially intend to move out.
Hm. My birthday was okay. Jake and I broke up the night before, so I spent a little bit of it crying - particularly when I told people... But it had been coming for awhile, I think. Well, I know, actually. He said he'd seen it coming too. I don't know why he didn't say anything, but... water under the bridge now, I guess. I saw him at the poetry slam a couple weeks ago and it was only moderately awkward at first, especially when a nosy acquaintance started asking questions that were far too personal. Nonetheless, I wouldn't mind seeing more of him - I just don't want to send the wrong message... Maybe I should let a little more time pass.
Anyhoo, birthday. I sat at my house during the day, and instead of watching the inauguration, I watched the Little Mermaid. That night I still went to Olive Garden as planned; Anna, Caleb, Elaine, Josh, Ren, and Cherie all accompanied me. Afterward some of us came back to my apartment and had the cupcakes that Elaine made for me (which were delicious - carrot cake). Jon Z. came over after he got out of work, and he, Anna and I went out to Retro Rocks, then Stardust to bowl, then back down to Steamer's. It was a pretty good time; I only felt a little down once or twice.
The next day the three of us went shopping as planned; first to Great Lakes Crossing where Jeff and Cari met up with us, then to Somerset Mall where Jon's friend Chuck met up with us. And so set into motion were certain events that I'll get to later.
