Sheesh I really need to work on my blogging. Sometimes I get in a rythym of doing it every couple of days and sometimes even every day then there’s times like…now. Where I’ve gone weeks without a peep. Oh well, most of you that read my blog follow me on twitter and those that don’t should. :P
So, my first week of work was alright. I’m not going to say very good or awesome, because it simply wasn’t. I like my co-workers and I love teaching and being around kids, but this age is just not for me. I’m used to kids that are a little less dependent on you for EVERYTHING! Thank goodness they can walk, but I have to help them eat, they can’t talk so I have to decipher baby code to even know what they want, they still wear diapers, they can barely pay attention for 5 minutes so a game or even flash cards is difficult. *sigh* I’m not a big fan of this age, but I am learning a lot. The other teacher’s taught me some baby sign language. Which is very useful. The kids can’t talk, but with the sign language, we can communicate with them. They learn fast and they know the signs for please, more, and drink. Which is a lot nicer than hearing them scream or make some weird noise. *sigh* They are much too young for my liking, but it’s a job and it’s not terrible, just not my preference.
Is World of Warcraft the new match.com? I always hear stories of people meeting in WoW. My guild even has a married couple who initially met in the game! and I know a handful of people that date people they’ve met from the game. I always made fun of those people and joked about it, but umm. well, I kind of met a guy from WoW. I’ve been talking to let’s call him …”the hunter” because that’s the class he plays in the game. Anywho, the hunter and I’ve been talking for years now. We’ve played the game together for years, email like crazy when he’s deployed and even talk off game. If you play the game you know how easy it is to make friendships. You play with these people for hours every day or even just a few times a week, but it’s still more often than not. We’ve played together for ,as I said before, years! I knew him, he knew me, but we had never met each other…until this weekend. He always talked about coming to visit and I didn’t really believe him. He definitely called my bluff and was at my house on Friday night! I thought it would be weird, but it wasn’t. I was myself the whole time we talked via WoW and everything and so was he. So, I was just hanging out with the hunter I’ve known all the while. Meeting him was nerve wrecking! I was so effin nervous about it. I took a hint from Devynn and took a few shots before we were actually going to meet up. It helped…maybe a little too much? >.< Anywho, after an hour of hi’s and hugs and nervous talking we finally loosened up. Sort of watched movie in bed…I mean…it was on but we were kind of just hanging out. It was nice. We spent the entire weekend chilling (we even spent an afternoon hanging out with my mom), seeing the city, and getting to know each other. It was lovely. Am I going to see this guy again? Yup. I like him, a lot! Which isn’t surprising I guess. I kind of liked him before, but this just intensified it. So, yea….we’re dating. I’m dating the hunter. Dating as much as you can date someone who lives a 12 hour drive away. Which isn’t really a problem for me, Pinkie Larue the princess of long distance complicated relationship thingies. Besides if I’m going to be in a relationship, I prefer this at the moment. I tend to become more dependent to my partner than I’d like to be and I’m still trying to be more adult like and independent. so this works just fine :) I just realized I didn’t take any pictures on the weekend. Hmph. When he gets back from his deployment (he’s going to Germany for a just a month and a half) we’re going to see each other again and I’ll make sure to get some then. I am hoping this works out for the best and doesn’t have some shady/crazy ending, but you never know! And guess what? I’m fine with that too!
oh and another quick side story. So, when we hung out with my mom we accompanied her to the casino for gambling and dinner. the casino buffets are awesome ^_^ . She loves going down to Tunica, Mississippi, a casino resort town about 30 minutes away, so we decided to go with her. The hunter and I weren’t going to gamble much so we were playing with a little money. After losing some money on a random machine next to my mom, we decided to change machines. We changed to a rinky dink nickel machine. with unicorns on it. Ha! Well, we put a 20 dollar bill in the plan was to take turns making bets. The hunter was like “You need to bet big” and pressed max bet which was the whole $20(he didn’t know that at the time) and I was so pissed off at him that I looked at him and kinds of yelled “That was the whole freaking twenty. UGHH! Why’d you do that!” and when we turned back to the screen we saw blinking bright lights that said we had won $4100 dollars. WHAT?! FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS! We were in disbelief at first, just staring at the screen making sure we had actually won. When we finally closed our mouths, we called an attendant and the attendant came and paid us the money! Awesome, right!? So, I’ve been looking at used cars ( I need a car!) and thinking about buying my ticket to Australia now instead of in September! i think he may be my lucky charm.
