Burnt by Love and/or Hot Chocolate

Okay, I know. I haven't written anything in 4 weeks even though I said I would post once a week. My bad. I'm a senior, okay? I got crap to do. Sue me!

Anyways, I'm writing this at the end of week 6 and LET ME TELL YOU, this past few weeks have been 10/10 Sriracha, spicy. So many firsts, so much drama, so little time. I'll break down the most important things.

1. I went on my first date, ever.

I know, shocking. If you know me in real life, you would know thing is shocking as I don't go out with people, friends or not. 38% because I'm antisocial, 72% because I'm too emotionally drained to go outside and do stuff, and -10% because I genuinely want to spend time with my fellow human. So needless to say, lé date was not exactly a walk in the park.

Let me break it down for you: this guy is a dude that I work with who is also from my home state (which in Arkansas, that is all I can really ask for). So we go after work to the local Starbucks café since I could only get like 30 minutes for a date anyways. I is busy. Truth be told, the date was terrible. He talked more about his love for sports and how he likes it since he can't play sports (at that point I really stopped listening so I can't even remember what he said. The gag is though, after that I decided to be a creeper and go chiccity-check out his Facebook page, and it turns out that he's a closet xenophobe. (For those that might not know what xenophobia is, here's the definition.)

So, given the fact that most of my close friends are immigrants, I think that is grounds enough to simply say bump it, and enjoy my career solo for now. I guess my question is why am I so actively thirsty all of a sudden? Do I feel like I'm going to die alone since my career requires my soul? Maybe. Am I just lonely and bored? Probs.

2. I got a whole car, insurance and everything!

That's right my dudes, I'm mobile! Ya'll better watch out! Lol, I kid. But seriously, it's crazy to me finally getting a car since I legitimately have been asking my father for a car for about 6 years now, so it is weird finally getting one. He claims that now that I'm a college senior, I can be "trusted," which I know is a lie because I heard him talking to my mom about it and he thought that if I got a car, I would immediately kill everyone, including myself. Thank you for having faith in me dad! Oh well, insert eye roll here. I got it now, so I guess it's whatever. But speaking of my parents, that takes me to my last piece of tea:

3. My mom broke up with her long-term, abusive boyfriend.

(Side bit, if you didn't know, but my parents are separated.) Look, I'm not even going to give this guy the time of contemplation, so let's just say, I'm happy he's gone.

There are other little things that occurred in my life this past month like obtaining new ops, that is oppositions aka people who I don't like because they have an issue with me, frivolously developing and terminating crushes for a lot of my friends, (like I said, I'm thirsty), and also having a series of emotional breakdowns, one of which had me ugly crying for 30 minutes in front of the whole Play Directing class. Even though those are interesting, I don't think they're interesting enough to write individually about/I'm too lazy to try and remember all the details of the little things, so I decided to just leave those things in the past. But I mean, like I said, my life is spicy. I don't know why it is that way, but it is, so I'm going to use it as a means to at least have creative juices flowing.

Anywho, that's all I have to say for now. I would say something like "I'm totally for sure going to post at a reasonable time," but I know that it's not true. I'm going to try to post next Sunday but if it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. Who knows.

Tata for now!

(Also side bit, the title of this post is kind of a joke, as I wrote this while sipping hot chocolate and the first sip burned my tongue like hot fire soo.......the title became a thing. I know, I'm not funny but if you don't think about it, I'm actually hilarious).
