Was going out with some friends, but my nerves dictated that I return home post-haste.

<----has severe social anxiety
 
I was invited to a get together but I think I'll head over to Blockbuster and rent 24 instead. I'm anti-social like that, and some people that would be present I find quite annoying.
 
Haven't figured it out yet. Don't have anything planned or that I've been invited to and, of course, everybody else has families and stuff to do things with anyway.

Think it'd be good to get out of the house, though. 2004 was a year of amazing things that all took lots of work and looked like they were about to turn out great...but didn't. Unfortunately, I'm mildly injured at the moment, which cuts down my options a bit--standing too long would be bad and dancing is pretty much out of the question.

'Spose I can always just start wandering and see what I run into.

But you've got a whole house of toys to play with right? 😀

Got the house full of toys. Got the theater, got the gym, got...um...eight stereo systems and a couple of closets full of spare audio and video gear, got dozens of machines running that always could stand to have something tweaked or upgraded, got the parts for a hundred or more computers, got crates of parts for audio design and electronics projects that settled to the bottom of the 'to-do' list ten years ago, got thousands of books, got a tremendous collection of antiques, got more kitchen gadgets than any six people I know, got a huge backlog of projects and software I really should be working on.

It's all great stuff--even if a lot of it could stand to be dusted--but sitting around looking at your toy collection isn't always what you're in the mood to do.

I'm going to a LAN party in about ten minutes. 😀
 
Spending the New years at home with family...this is all I know so it's not that big of a letdown. Let's see if '05 will be better than new year's '04...last year, I was so bored out of my mind, I ended up going to sleep around 10 pm-ish.

I must say though, I have a little vodka in me and I had steak and potatoes for dinner so it's shaping up to be a decent end to an ok year. Pair that with a coupla good movies and I'm set. Cheers to the end of 2004 and the start of a new year! :beer:
 
I've got a list of friends to call, but otherwise I am enjoying my alone time being an introvert...I just had two weeks of constant friendship/companionship in Germany.

Lass mich in Ruhe!

So this is it. The nemesis on me. It's now clear and obvious. No, there is no way out of this. I will never find my way in this world. No matter what I do leaves me indifferent. I don't like my job and given the current circumstances I won't be able to do anything different. It's a trap of reality I'm in, these are my boundaries and limits. All I have to do is know accounting, there is nothing else left, no dreams, no wishes, no sense in life. Look at the damn computer screen all day, this is my 15-17 inch wide world depending on where I look at it - home or work. My life has reached it's final climax where it will be cemented forever as the peak point I was ever at.
Of course, it's a question of whether I finally give up on me or do something to get out of the dead end I'm now in. The thing is - I don't wanna die, I don't want it to end. All I have to do is to find that what I should devote my remaining years to, maybe this would somehow add sense to my existence.

I know a guy in the same boat as you. He's enlisting.

You'll run into about 20000000 sobriety checkpoints.

*sigh* I worked at the pizza shop tonight... pizza seemed to be EVERYONE's plan...
I personally made enough pizza and wings to feed about 2000 people.

Sigh, the military was one of my stupider moves... I have been told it's just this base I'm at, but still...
ROTC on the other hand would be a good way to go 😀 Officers are of a different cut~

Maybe if I were doing something useful, but I don't see anything happening here.

Look for God's hand in your work~
