Ooohhh Valentine's Day

Red heart shaped boxes filled with crappy chocolates.
Pink as far as the eye can see.
White teddy bears wearing red 'I love you' shirts.
Commercials for flower bouquet delivery.
'I love you' cards in the mail from your grandparents.

February 14th and the days leading up to it are the bain of any fully single person's year. I'm not talking about the people who are 'technically' single, who have a valentine or future boyfriend all lined up to take them out this Sunday. I'm talking about the people who will sit at home playing video games, reading, or burning pictures of exes. Valentine's day pretty much sucks for us. Especially those of us with baggage. I, myself, got out of relationship last year right after Valentines day, and since it's coming around to that one year mark, people will find me to be extra cynical. This year, I'll probably hate the holiday of love. I love it when I'm involved. I hate it when I'm single. So goes the roller coaster of life.

I'm determined to have the most fun an extremely bitter person can have on Valentines day. I'll be going out with some co-workers and new friends, and I will be playing in a beer pong tournament for a chance to win a hundred bucks. Good music, good drinks, and good friends lead yo good times, so I think this year won't be a total bust. I know it will be better than last year at any rate, when I didn't even get a 'Happy Valentines Day' text from my boyfriend hahahaa.

I've started at Red Robin, and I'm having a lot of fun. The people are great(even though Ive already sortof been asked on a date by one), and I love the environment. The only thing I hate is the whole 'Happy Birthday' singing and clapping fiasco. I feel like a damn sideshow. Oh well. Seeing as that's the only negative that Ive found so far though, I don't think it'll be too shabby.

One thing that's good for sure is that work leads to income, and income leads to paintball. I'm so excited to get back out on the Washington paintball scene again. It's been way too long. It'll be the perfect time too. Doodlebug Sportz indoor will be reopening relatively soon, and I know everyone up here can't wait for that. Their old indoor place was fantastic, and I can only imagine a fresh start will improve upon the already excellent level of paintball that the Northwest has come to expect from the franchise. PSP Phoenix is in March, and I can't wait to see what they bring to their new division this season. I may be down in the Phoenix area for the first day od the event, so hopefully I'll be able to spend some time watching our NW teams paint some faces!

I've started drawing again. I don't have a whole lot of stuff in my sketchbook, but the things I have I actually like. I'm nowhere close to being an artist, and I'm by no means refined, but I like to draw, and it's relaxing. I mostly draw animals and things like that. Never people. Im terrible at drawing people. Maybe I'll post a few drawings up here someday, or as I go. I'd definitely like to start posting some type of pictures into my blog.

Damn, this is a reeeaaaallllyyyy scatter-brained blog. I went into it having a clear idea of what I wanted to write about, but now I feel just sortof lost, an like it was failry anit-climactic. Oh well. Better luck next time. Next Blog will most likely be about LOST... be prepared lol
