Salivating...

You know what?

I don't care what anyone says. Lego's kick ass.

Built this last weekend...
It's a 4-Cylinder boxer engine ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_engine )

this is old...

*wipes dust off*

Alright, lets see here... What's new?

Oh yeah. Put a cabin air filter in my car. You see, most cars don't come with one. In most cases, there's a tray behind the glove box that you can slide out and stick an air filter into. This is part of the climate control system. Now, I don't get a nasty dust-like smell when I have the air conditioning on.

About a week after that, I bought some clear side markers off E-bay... yeah, another car thing. Side markers are the little lights on cars, sometimes right in front of the doors or down on the bumper next to the headlights. If your headlights don't wrap around enough on the front, other drivers to the side of you can't see where you are in the dark, or if your blinker is on. Legally, they have to light up orange... Usually it's a small light inside an orange casing. This means that on nice cars like mine, you get a big ugly orange spot on the side. These new ones are clear plastic with an orange light inside -- light up orange like they're supposed to, but look muuuuch better. Silvery smooth sweetness... Until you get to my big bright red tail-lights. I hope to do something about that soon.

In other news, I've changed some things, personally. I'm a little bit happier with myself. A little bit more worldly... A little bit more understanding. Done away with some things I never liked, indulged in some curiosities, and gained a hell of a lot of wisdom. Hate me for what I've done if you want, I can live with it. They're all parts of what make me who I am.

Been making friends with some really good people. It's nice to have people that wonder where you are when you're not hanging out with them. Things were going pretty well for a while. I thought I was doing pretty well by myself. Being single was relaxing. I finally had the chance to treat myself the way I felt others should. Just trying to be a good person isn't enough. We live in a selfish society. You can go out and try to help people -- be nice to them, loan them money when they need it, give them car rides when needed, listen to them when they need to vent... But that doesn't mean they'll do the same for you. If you feel you deserve something, you have to go out and make it so. Don't wait around for it to happen. Be aggressive.

So, that's what I was doing. I was making myself happy. Then, I realized something... Even though I'm going out and doing what I want, there's still something missing... I'm lonely. So I started flirting... getting phone numbers... meeting lots of girls. All kinds, of course. I was trying to keep an open mind. People change, and you can't rule out one person entirely because of a bad history or a personality quirk. So, I met this girl. Maneuvered herself into a conversation with me, tricked me into swapping phone numbers, and definitely won me over. This all, even though her friend told her I was gay. Oh, and I must say, there's something particularly sexy about a girl who goes after what she wants even when someone tells her something like that.

And so, things are good. Haven't felt this great in a long time.

first step

so... the first thing i do to my car is put in a new air filter... lame.
