so i’m in reno…and as per usual must obsessively check e-mail and/or journals. which is actually okay today because none of us got to sleep until 6am this morning. i say “us” because colin has a roommate now…his name is pablo…he’s honduran. nice guy.
it’s been snowing ever since i stepped off the plane…it’s real cold. i miss sadie a lot.
had a blast last night…we went out to some lounge place where someone was “spinning” and hung out there most of the night.
met a crackhead, although was unaware of it when i first met him. cute guy…had the whole messy hair, musician thing going on. intelligent; we talked for most of the night. at some point in our conversation he mentioned something about his use of amphetamines. don’t quite know how it came up…it just did. danger. at least for me. i didn’t even realize it might be a danger; i figured, i just stopped a long time ago at a certain point, no big deal. the situation just never came up again. but there was someone, right in front of me that probably had it on him as we were talking the whole time. i’m really not happy with what went on in my head from that point on. there was rationalizing…i’m away from home, i’m on vacation…i “was never really addicted” so if i didn’t have some huge problem with it what’s wrong with one time. i got weird and anxious.
i told him no. i told him if i ever saw him again not to bring it around me. i explained what i did for a living and said that i love my job too much to do something that is really not morally sound for me to do while doing that job. interestingly enough he said ’so it’s because you love your job, not yourself’. it sounded like something my pat would bring up. i think maybe he had a point…perhaps i don’t love myself enough yet for that to be the sole reason to abstain from something destructive. whatever the case, if my job was the only reason last night that i said no to it, thank god for my job then.
i am constantly realizing things about myself. some of them are things i don’t really want to realize.
we’re going to a halloween party tonight…colin and some of his friends are dressing up as pimps. heh. we’re staying in a suite with a jacuzzi and all that jazz. yay.
i got to play with one of colin’s new toys today. i got to drive the bmw. i love that car now. i want it. he always has lots of man toys; if i was here last weekend i could have ridden the jet ski. colin is funny…he’s like the ultimate bachelor.
the snow is really coming down now.
