(no subject)

Well fb you have me for at least another year as I failed to cancel my auto-payment after I received notice it was coming up!

It's a gorgeous day out, so I've worked in the office, am working at home, and will be hitting the gym later today before I settle in to listen to NPR's big broadcast while playing diablo.

I'm trying

Today I introduced myself to 2 different people, and right after each told me their name I had no idea what it was.

At the gym I ran into a "fat" guy who was doing reps (many) with my old squat max, down deep as hell too...plus he was wearing chucks and a Mason Law shirt. I introduced myself and noted that were both were squatting (I worked up to a whopping 255), wearing chucks, and were Mason Law grads. He stuck out his hand and gave his name, I smiled and shook his hand...and I instantly didn't know his name. We talked a little bit, it was friendly, but then I couldn't remember if I told him my own name.

Walking home I passed a woman sweeping up lawn trimmings by a house that I love - the only one still standing when all the others sold out to a developer who put up fake lofts. We talked and it turned out she was also into the local civic association, and we had some local political views in common. She stuck out her hand and introduced herself - I gave my name, but again...I have no idea what hers was.

I'm trying to learn basic social skills like the average 7 year old masters with ease.

On the other hand, last night as I was about to head to the club, I got a call from a resident I kinda knew, who told me the laundry room was flooded. I'm on the condo board and headed over to check out what was going on. A washing machine had stuck with the water on without shutting off. A guy there, who was pretty fit looking, noted they had turned off the hot water but it was the cold that was running and it wouldn't turn off.

This is the douchey party. I turned off the cold water (as the gym has given me stupidly good grip strength) and...dunno what came over me, I smiled and said "Squats and deadlifts." I mean everything else I did was nice, I think, and I was helping out a bunch of folks who were wearing pajamas while I had a scary t-shirt, big spikey hair, and combat boots with rainbow laces...but what an asinine thing to say.

I did note each girl I talked to was smoking hot. I mean not my flavor, I mean each had mani-pedi, yoga pants, and a floppy shirt-sweat top, but I kinda melt for good figures particularly in casual clothes. They were all super normal and way Arlington preppy. I may be a social invalid and not too nice on the eyes - but the beautiful people were staying home and doing laundry in their pjs!
