Still Rollin'

So, things are still going well. The busy summer has started. I saw Breaking Benjamin last week and it was great! My only disappointment is that they headlined with another band that I wasn't that into. They were ok, but they were the last band, so it went Red, Breaking Benjamin, then 3 Days Grace. So the bands (and my mood) were ok, amazing!!!, then ok. Sort of a downer. No one can follow Breaking Benjamin - they put on a fantastic show.

Last night was Cirque de Soleil - Corteo. It was hypnotic - I love seeing those shows. I hate the comedy bits, but the acrobatics are just visually stunning and amazing. I just sat there mesmerized in my own little world, like the rest of the audience wasn't even there. You HAVE to see Cirque de Soleil if you have the opportunity.

Steph and I leave for camping tomorrow morning. We are taking a 4 day weekend and going to Chapman Campground - sort of near Basalt/Aspen. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. I decided to leave Pacey with A, since he gets a little stressed out camping and this way I won't be stressed out b/c he's stressed out. And Steph is only bringing one of her dogs so it'll be nice and relaxing. I'm bringing the kayak, but I'll only use it on the lake. A and I are taking kayaking lessons next weekend, so hopefully I'll get more into kayaking once that's over.

I'm still seeing Zac. I'm still trying to NOT be a girl and overthink things. I'm still trying to go with the flow. That's hard for me, as I am a planner and organizer type and I like to define relationships, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job. We'll see what happens.

I Guess I'll Tell You...

So, I've been holding off with this news, because once I tell people, it seems like that triggers the end, but I've been seeing someone.

I met this guy Zac at my favorite bar at the end of April. We went to a movie the next night (Vacancy? It was stupid, I don't recommend it). He's typical in that after only hanging out 2 or 3 times, he told me he didn't want to get into a serious relationship. I freakin hate it when guys do this, and they all seem to do it to me. Dude, settle down, I never brought up the word relationship and I certainly didn't ask you to marry me! However, unlike MOST guys who give me that line, this one continued to call and we see each other about once a week.

Right now he doesn't have a job. In the past he's been in commercial construction. He WANTS to be a writer, but needs a job in the meantime where he can write too. So he's looking. He also wants to start training to be a fighter again. I didn't get too many details on that. I'm thinking it's like the UFC type fighting, mixed martial arts, but I don't know.

He has a little pug who he adores more than anything in the world. It's very sweet to see this big manly man be so sweet to a little dog. A very good quality, in my opinion.

He has also helped my forget about Erik (Erik who?), who of course, has not kept in touch. Didn't think he would. We will just always be friends, and that's fine by me.

Otherwise things are pretty good. Work is good. I fostered another cat family, and they're gone already. I have a bunch of camping trips lined up and tickets to see Cirque de Soliel, Rusted Root, Ani DiFranco, and Breaking Benjamin. It's a busy summer!
