I decided to steal something from other bloggers I’ve seen. I’ve noticed some that mention things from their personal life and when they mention their friends, they make up nicknames for the freinds to protect their privacy. I’ve always (as far as I can remember) mentioned my friends as “my friend” or something generic like that. Now To be more specific, as in you’ll know it’s the same friend, I’ll try to come up with nicknames instead. I just hope I can come up with something that they aren’t bothered by, or even that they like.

First I’ll try Vanilla Gorilla. He’s my best friend and most loyal reader. If he doesn’t like that, I’ll stick with the always safe Big D.

So I mentioned a seven-years-without-a-date streak in a previous post. It did, in fact, come to an end last Saturday. I had a great time with Lager Lover’s friend (also his girlfriend’s sister). We bowled a few rounds and had dinner. It was the first I’d bowled since I was in High School, and the same for her. We did alright for not having bowled in such a long time.

I haven’t mentioned much about my move in a while, I don’t think. I’m more settled, but still have lots of boxes to go through. I’m also trying to get used to a different bed. After a month, it’s ok, but I still sleep better on my old bed (not more of a guest bed) and use it when I am having trouble sleeping. The other night I had trouble because we got some fresh snow, the most so far this year, and a guy in my building decided to race his snowmobile in the parking lot at 3AM. I’m hoping one of these weeks I’ll get through a whole week without someone waking me up in the middle of the night. Seems the girls next door have not had their Tuesday night party for the second week in a row, which is a good start. The guest bedroom is much quieter than the master, so I can usually retreat there when I need to though.
