A New Apartment And A New Boyfriend

Well, it seems like I have all new beginnings. I just moved into my new place and love it! Except for the fact that Qwest can go eat dirty gym socks, but I shall rant about that later on in this entry. AND here is the bigger news. The guy I met on geek2geek.com and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend! *laughs* I have to admit that I am super excited about it.

Ok, from now on I shall call him Rendiani, or Rend for short. As I mentioned in my last entry we had our first date at the Chatterbox and we could have talked for hours! We just click. I feel so comfy around him. He came to visit me this weekend and we had such blast! He came on Saturday at about noon, which was perfect timing for a lunch. As you all know, I don't like when people pay for me, but I've gotten better at biting my tongue when it comes to such things. He did pay for lunch, but he let me grab the movie tickets! You do not know the relief I felt when I got to do that. We had a talk about it on Sunday and going dutch is perfectly fine with him. :) However, he would like to treat me sometimes, which I will happily agree to. After lunch we came back here to grab and talk about d&d stuff. Oh! Here is more news. I am security person at my church, so I have to check the doors every night, so we went and did that before going to Kami-sama and the devil's house. I was dm-ing, but Rend knew what was going on in the game. He helped me come up with my new villain. ^_^ Ooo, villains are soooo yummy. That night there were 7 of us playing, but we all seemed to have fun. At about 12:30 am, we came back to eat some pizza and watch Final Fantasy Advent Children. We were so tuckered after that we went to bed. Now, I know what you are wondering, well he slept on my futon and I slept in my bed. *laughs*

Sunday morning we woke up and got ready for the day. The coupon book I had bought from Boston had a coupon for a skillet breakfast at one of the local restaurants, so we went and had a tasty brunch. LOL, yeah we slept in because we went to bed so late. After that we came back here to watch Howl's Moving Castle. Woot for Myazaki films! During the movie we snuggled and then the movie ended and I stayed on the futon instead of retrieving the DVD. Hey, it was just too comfy. We had a great time though just sitting and talking. That is one thing I'm so happy about. He isn't just a boyfriend, but a friend. Someone I can talk to and have a good time with. I think snuggling and kissing is important in a relationship, but a good friendship is the true base of a relationship. Now we are trying to make plans to see each other more often. One of us is going to see the other and spend the weekend again in July. Yay for high gas prices. :( But I know we will manage. Plus I have definite plans to go down in August for the ren fest. One of Rend's hobbies is making chain mail, so I'm super excited to see him in his chain shirt. ^_^

Basically, things are going well and I'm really looking forward to seeing Rend again!

Now, on to my rant about Qwest and Mediacom. So, I like to have a phone and I like to have internet. I especially like having the net. May 30th I was supposed to have internet and phone. The thought of having a phone and net right away in my new place made me extremely pleased. Well, Sunday was the day I was actually able to plug my phone in. Nothing. I called qwest and they said, "We'll get someone out there tomorrow." Ok, cool. I had taken Monday off, so I could wait for the cable guy and unpack. I was glad qwest was able to come out that day since I was home. The mediacom guy came and couldn't find a drop point for the cable. Since everything was still in boxes at that time I couldn't find my landlord's #. The guy needed to talk to him to get permission. Ok fine, I understand and then the wait for the qwest guy began. The qwest guy eventually called and I told him to go in the alley since that's where the phone lines are. He got all confused and called me Pamela. Those of you who know me know that that is not my name. I eventually found out that my new # had not had it's address changed so they went to the old address that my # used to belong too. *sigh* Here I thought they messed up my contact #. The idiots, I was on the phone 20 mins. each waiting to talk to someone at qwest. He did eventually call me and said, "It should be working now." I was happy and plugged my phone in again. Nothing, once again. I actually called the guys cell and said to his voice mail, "Hello, my name is Kush and you just told me that my phone is working, but it isn't." He of course did not call back. So THEN I made a new appt. for them to come on Thursday and I told them, "Come in the morning because I work at noon. I leave at 11:30." I don't really, but I wanted a little time after they left. I waited and waited all morning for them to come and they never did. Well, at noon I made it to work. Then my dad's cell rang at 2 pm. Do you know who it was? You guessed it, qwest! I told them sternly that they were supposed to be there in the morning and I was now at work. First he said, "Oh really?" Then he said, "Oh yeah, there was a mix up." That night during my half hour break I called qwest AGAIN to make another appt. with them. I told them, "Tomorrow I get off of work at 3:30, so come at 4, or after." Friday I got home and called qwest to find out when they were coming. I had dinner plans and I wanted to know what the deal was. Turns out, they had already come and the guy on the phone said, "Yeah, it says they couldn't get into the apartment because no one was home." I freaked out! Well, I thought I had anyway, but Mom and Dan say that I didn't sound that scary. I told him that I was sick of their screw ups and I will not pay the fee for them coming into the building. I should have asked for a free month or two. Anway, they came on Monday and the guy who did it was super nice and he didn't charge me. :) I got my phone Monday at 4:30ish and I got Vinni set up and working about 9:00 last night. Now I just have to get after the Mediacom assholes. They keep coming when I'm not home too. Grrrr! Now they can't come until the 18th. As far as I'm concerned Qwest and Mediacom are both the same and I hate the fact that I need to pay them for services I enjoy. O_o Does that sound funny? >_> *laughs!*

Now that I'm done with my ranting I'm going to read some Order of the Stick and head off to bed. Thanks for letting me borrow the books Rendiani! ^_^
