On a different side of things

It occured to me today after reading RA's blog why it is that the majority of social events of my life have been nixed and nulified. That reason is simple in that I don't have any expendable money these days to put forth towards any type of social endeavour. I still don't have many friends here in Cornwall that arn't part of some type of relationship dynamic so there arn't many outings here where I'm not the third wheel. That being the case, I would usually head to Ottawa, Kingston or even home to get into a social/cultered set of surroundings but that always had a base cost for the price of gas and that base cost was high. And so to cut that base cost and save some cash, I've had to cut out the travelling and that subsequently killed the little social life I had. However, there is only one month to sit and wait in this social standstill; one month left in Cornhole. Until then, everyone is invited to visit!

I recently threw my name on the website plentyoffish.com in an attempt to meet people. Now its true that this is a dating site but the goal I had in mind for this was to meet some folks across canada so that in my half cross country trip, I'd be able to hook up with people in some canadian cities and get a taste of their culture through them. So far, I've met a grand total of no one but I havn't messaged anyone and no one has messaged me. I think I have to re-write my profile though because it was like a singles version initially which I thought it had to be. In reading other though I've learned otherwise.

This past weekend, I took care of some loose ends including bill cancelations and forwarding. I also put together a somewhat revised budget to get me through til I go back home. I also managed to reduce everything in the apartment to an absolute living minimum. Once I take this next load home this weekend and sell my major furniture (anyone need a bed, desk, deluxe computer chair or arm chair?), I'll have reduced everything in my apartment to one car load able to fit in the civic for the last ride home.

Speaking of the end, two tentative dates have been set for a possible end. If everything goes according to plan, then I should be done on the 18th. If not it will definately be the weekend after that on the 25th. We're planning on having a pretty huge celebration to end the year on the 18th so if anyone was ever thinking of comming up (insert rolling tumble weed) that would be a good day. It's gonna be a dinner, house gig and then a bar.

Closing thoughts:
- The ontario road trip (21st-28th) might get cancelled due to lack of fundalage. If it does happen, it will likely not include much boozing to economize everything.
- In the back of my mind, there have been a few instances where I think I'm gonna miss Cornwall. I think its just the familiarity of it all which your body grows accustomed to.
- This has been a rather long blog post about nothing at all. Suprised you've gotten this far.
- I found out today the reason I havn't heard back about a final deal in Vancouver yet is because one of my references hasn't sent back the reference form yet. Stupid busy co-ordinator of Diagnostic Imaging.
- They got Peter Cullen to do the voice of Optimus in the new Transformers movie. For anyone that dosn't know, he did the original voice of Optimus in the original series. Wicked.
- But is Topher Grace realy Eddie Brock? Realy?
