First things first. I moved out of that hell hole of an apartment with those crazy ass roommates and I plan to never see them ever again.

I thank the lord and my grandmother for making this possible. lol....but seriously I am grateful to be out of there and in my own place. I am also grateful to be away from those crazy roommates. I mean, now i dont have to worry about any of my stuff getting broken or stolen some how.

It was my fault for moving in with those assholes and never again will I make that mistake.

The apartment is smaller then my last (I have 300 square feet in my head, that might be the size of it, i dunno) however the location of the partment is very nice. It is right next to a major bus station that has about almost every bus in the city go to it and im only 10 minutes away from Downtown, thank you to the transit way which prevents all traffic.

And on the other side of my apartment building is a big ass mall with a Wallmart and a 24hr grocery store. Plus, on this side of town means i am closer to most of my friends.

So yes, I love it here. I just hope to find a job soon since the college season is just about over.

In other news, I think i have lost a bit of weight or maybe i have lost fat and gained a bit of muscle. My grandmother pointed out that i look a bit more trimmer then last year. I have yet to weigh myself but this is already good new I feel.

I was at a downtown internet Cafe all last night. It was kinda fun but some not everyone was there that I was hoping to be.

When I left there earlier this morning, I needed to get 2 bus tickets and the only place that sold them nearby was this small corner store at this office type building. So I arrive there just as the shop opens and I see this very attractive woman opening the place up.

That that it is a bad thing and I dont want to make myself sound shallow but she wasnt a bomb shell...but neither am I. I wont go into too much details about how she looked just in case someday she happens to be snooping on my computer in the future (Time will tell).

But anyways, I bought my tickets left initially with no more then saying hello. I was up all night and i felt tired and figured I mustnt look the best but i gave it a shot anyways. I went back, bought a drink to give myself an excuss to be there again incase i chickened out lol. I said, "Hey, I dont normally do this, but can I give you my number?"

I couldnt believe I was saying it at the time and the moment after it, I realized it sounded kinda vague.

So I smiled and she said, "Sure, I'd like that, here's a pen and paper"

I dont think i showed it, but i was a bit surprised she said yes like that. Part of me must have thought she would say no, I guess. But I wrote my name and number down, she looked at the paper and we said thanks to each other and I left it like that.

I guess it isnt anything mindblowing and yes she was attractive. I hope she calls but until she does, it's no reason to get my hopes to high.

But, to back track for a second. Honestly, I had said that same line once before but these days what do you say to a stranger?

"Hi, I'm Eric, would you be up for a cup of coffee?"

just for someone say, "No, I dont drink coffee"

Which the response can be taken from their point of view absentmindedly. I mean, if someone came up to me and chances are I wouldn't expect it, I would probably say no thanks, thinking nothing of it some of the time. BUT, If i heard someone offer to give me their name and number, even someone like me who doesnt pick up on hints very well would see this hint plain and simple.

With my lack of experience and havintg some what of a bad memory, Ill probably be using that line or something similar to that line more regularly. I dont see it as a bad thing. Sure, i guess it is technicly a fib or a small lie but hey, I wouldnt know that person. Until i do know them and or date them, i wouldnt really owe them anything.

Dont get my wrong. I wouldnt lie to my spouse if there was a mutual love and understanding to one another but I see anything wrong in fibbing to get a chance to know that person.

And to clear confusion, the fib i talk about is the "Hey, I dont normally do this..." part of the line id end up using more often. It's nothing I guess, but sometimes when i start talking about stuff like that, it makes me think.

Hmm, I guess that's it. I dont wanna ramble on anymore.
