So I know I haven't updated this thing in a while, and I apologize to those of you who read it consistently. It's just that my life hasn't been very exciting lately and I didn't wanna bore you. Actually... there have been plenty of journal-worthy moments... I've just been too busy to write about them. And now they all kind of blur together and I would feel like an even bigger dork than usual writing about funny stuff that happened weeks ago.
Instead I'm gonna write about my spring quarter resolution. I'm giving up guys. As in all interactions with the opposite sex beyond the type of interactions I can have (well, have and enjoy) with either sex. No random sex, no dating, no relationships, no fuck buddies. Yes, that includes you. You too. Yup, even you....
Why? Well, it really just comes down to time. I gave up drugs for winter quarter, and while it was a drastic improvement over fall quarter I'm still not quite excelling at life. Spring quarter is gonna be even busier than winter... math, physics, 2 programming classes, and my boss just put me in charge of like 5 more databases. If I'm gonna do well in my classes, be a good house manager, be a good employee, and sleep, something else has to go.
But... why guys, and not something else? It comes down to the ratio of input vs output, i.e. the amount of time I put into each area of my life versus how much I get out of it. I put a lot of time into school, but in the end I'll have a degree in something useful. I work a lot, but I also make a lot of money. I bullshit with friends and family a lot, but they keep me sane and happy. But guys? No matter what capacity I interact with them in I end up putting more into them than I get out of them... even when they put out. There's the random hooks ups: getting dressed up, going to a party, getting drunk, and feeling shitty the next day is a lot of time and energy to put in for like 15 minutes of crappy drunk sex. And for anything more than random hook ups even more time and effort is involved, especially when I end up getting attached to someone cuz that leads to not only wanting to spend time with him but actually thinking about him when I should be thinking in C++. Bottom line: I don't have enough free time right now to waste any time on something with minimal benefits.
I really am gonna miss sex though. I'm not used to going long periods of time without it. Hopefully I can redirect sexual frustration to study power... if that works I'll get straight As no matter how hard my classes are. Then, if my body hasn't trained itself to block out sexual desire as a defense mechanism by mid-June, maybe I can give myself a break this summer and have some fun.
Summary of Mexico: Random SDSU guy on the beach: Oh shit, why are you guys studying? Me and Pam: We aren't, we're just reading. SDSU guy [blank stare on his face]: huh?
