4687 Reason why I wouldn't move in with J...

So saw some apartments. Found 2 checklists for things to check, except, I'm not comfortable opening drawers and measuring and whatnot when there's someone watching me. It just feels wierd. So I was guesstimating the length of things, and whether my furniture would be able to fit. Those darn IVAR shelves. I love 'em, but they're really long and I have a lot of shelves so it's not like I could just collapse them into 1.

Anyways, J was driving me to the apartments (which makes it somewhat difficult to estimate how long it would take to walk to and from work, but I'm also not keen on showing up at the viewing all sweaty from hoofing it) (Yes, I sweat, er perspire much). Anyways, some disturbing comments he made after the 1 apt that was about 5-10 min from work and less than 5 yrs old: that he couldn't drive me to work anymore, and that he was glad that I wasn't looking at shitty apts (which is what a former mutual friend of ours had stayed in) or he'd have to lock me up and never let me out. WTF?!? Then after I inquired on how close that apt was to the grocery store (my directional sense is pretty poor), he said it was a bit far to carry groceries but he'd come shopping with me anyday. Considering he has to drive about 10 min to get to the apt from his house, and then another 5 min to go shopping for 30 min, does that make sense to anyone? Considering I've walked for about 45 min carrying bags from the shopping mall (cause I'm too cheap to use a bus ticket), unless it's -30 C, there's no point. Other than his stalker mentality. Then after I looked at another apt (which was blah in comparison) all he could say was "well at least I could still drive you to work" since it'd be 45 min walk to work. To say that it'd be completely out of his way, would be an understatement. And all he can think about is if I'm moving downtown, then how's he going to see me? So even though it'd be just as easy to walk to Warp, I basically had to guarantee that we'd go together. Egh, no wonder why I had to get Lin to pretend I wasn't there when I go in w/ H. And then when I told him I was getting an appointment for a contact fitting, he gets all upset and wants to know why I want contacts. How about it's none of your business?

Anyways, the doctor (argh, is it opthamologist, optometrist or obstetrician... ugh I meant optician) had a bit of difficult getting it in. She said it was b/c I have small eyes, which is probably true b/c my eyes are so near-sighted. And I have astigmatism too. But it's so hard to keep your eyes open. And there's also the puff-test for test eyeball pressure. I find that after the exams, I actually can't see very well b/c my eyes are so strained.

Anyways, giving my hand a rest after psuedo-calligraphing my oldest bro's b-day card. I wasn't very imaginative in getting present, it's just a gift card. But I was hand copying the font onto the card. I don't really have good experience w/ using nibs so it's just 2 black ink pens. The thick one gives me the body, and the thinner one smooths everything out and lets me give body. I must say, I feel ripped off my the Uniball Elite Vision pen. It soaks into the paper too much, and sometimes skips. The Pokemon pens I picked up are super better. Writes smooth and thin, and has Charizard or Pikachu on it.

Finally finished Arc the Lad, Twilight of the Spirits. The clock topped out at 99:59, but I think I put another 10-15 hrs after. Especially w/ the big boss battle. That lasted at least an hour. It was pretty good, although I have no clear(rereading it...clue) what happened in the prev Arc the Lad, so some of the references don't mean anything. The VA was generally blah. But the chars are quite good, and made me think of writing fanfics. Unfortunately nothing yaoi unlike Growlanser 2. I'm going to bed, too many wierd words that don't make sense but sound similar. Homonyms right? Yeah. Heh, Homo is in there. I think that's the only way I remember it too.
