I got together with a group of friends for our semi-weekly gaming night yesterday, and I realized that I need more human contact.
These days, it seems, I talk to people through a screen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hermit. It's just that in the past weeks, things have been a bit weird.
Hacker girl, my usual lunch buddy, is gallivanting in europe for her job. Biochemistry girl was in her finals. Sparrow has been in BC for the past 6 months, so that doesn't really count (and if you're reading this, I'll try and keep you better informed of my comings and goings – fair is fair). Mg is being kept way too busy by the lovely people he works for, so basically, last night was the first time I had fun with people other than my co-workers and my roommates. Felt good.
It also made me realise that I need more face time with the people I care for. Now since it's the holidays and people are going to be all over the place, that'll have to wait a bit, but that'll be part of my new year's resolution.
So, to keep my promise to a little bird, here's what's going to happen in my life in the next few days. I'll try and survive this week, and maybe, maybe, finally try meet ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
strychnyn before I leave for Ottawa next week. I have to go pick up my passport on Monday (and dear lord, I hope I don't look like a serial killer on my picture). I'm going to head to the parental units' place and eat too much home cooking until the 26th. I'm leaving for SF on the 27th (way too friggin early in the morning), and I'll be in California until the 4th. My goals for this trip are to relax, see some sights, and kiss a beautiful woman on new years eve. I'd settle for 2 out of 3, but the hattrick would be nice :P
