Vortexia's Secret

happy new year everybody! i hope you all had a great night. my plans
changed, but we were able to run with it and have a good time anyway.
just as a warning, the internet is out at my apartment, so i may not
get to post when i get home. bad luck, huh? i finally get my freedom
again and lose my internet. oh well.

so mayhem and i bought alcohol and mixers, plus a bottle of champagne
and celebrated by ourselves at my place. the girl who doesn't like me
convinced our friend to call off the party, so we were on our own.
turned out kind of nice. mayhem and i had a lengthy talk in the
"professor drunk" stage (where you're having intellectual
conversations about everything under the sun even though you can't
walk a straight line... it's the stage before drunk drunk kicks in).
we started a movie that we ended up pausing about 12 times for various
reasons, one being to celebrate the new year and another was to have a
4 hour long conversation right in the middle of the movie. so we had
a good talk and finished the movie, and several glasses of alcohol.
we got to bed close to 5am and had some light sleep before getting up
again. mayhem finally made my breakfast in bed, which made me happy.
we only got a little cuddle time and fell asleep apart rather than in
each others' arms, which was disappointing because we only got to
cuddle after we woke up in the morning as our breakfast was baking.
but oh well... it was better than nothing. and he is still promising
that this was not my romantic night, so i should get another night
with him and waking up to breakfast. yay!

mayhem may have found a place. he had to look for a new place to live
and found a semi-ghetto efficiency near his school. it's way nicer
than the truly trashy apartments near campus, so i figure this is the
one to try and get. unless he can convince his parents to cosign on a
nice one farther away. that would be the ideal, but it's very
doubtful. they like screwing him. and me. close to campus means he
doesn't really need a car, according to his mother. it means that i
can visit him instead. so we can spend our weekends in a little
efficiency with a scary kitchen that doesn't even have a real stove
instead of a nice large one-bedroom with walls. oh well. i'm gonna
let it go. because the lease will only be a 6 monther, so neither of
us will have to deal with it for too long. just until he graduates.

so last night was fairly fun. we had a fight that morphed into a
discussion of the world's politics. go figure. and the engagement
thing has been taken off the table for my sanity. just so you know.
he says he'll still be saving, which is what i wanted with all of
this, but he'll be doing it all on his own. i won't have to stress
over it or watch him waste his money knowing that it could be going
toward us. and as andy mentioned in a comment recently, i think it
will be kind of a good opportunity to observe how he handles the money
on his own. and we do need to discuss it. i have a feeling that it
will be easier once we both have salaries because we both tend toward
the "spend a little, save a lot" philosophy and i'll probably be
paying our bills once we're married, but i think it would be good to
reconfirm all of that with another discussion about it.

so that's about it. questions or comments about last night? leave
them in the comment box. i can't really remember what i wrote about,
so i may have left out major details. my apartment is now fully
stocked with every alcohol you could need except for tequila. since i
need a better blender to make margaritas, we decided not to buy
tequila yet. but other than that i pretty much have it all. just in
case that random info interested you. so more later! miss you guys!
hope you're slowly but surely recovering from last night :)
