Report Blog Entry
This has been my first week on Spacehey. I have enjoyed it so far, although I must admit that I do not have the same MySpace nostalgia that so many have for the site. I am within the age range of those that would have experienced it, but I lived a very sheltered childhood and it was never in the cards. Regardless, I have found the userbase to be, for the most part, very welcoming and pleasant.
Preface out of the way, I will now review my week, both online events and offline. I will start with the lows so I can end with the highs.
Lows:
- I neglected my responsibilities and will be spending the next 24 hours attempting to get my work done on time. I don't like rushing things, but I am unfortunately a procrastinating perfectionist.
- There is someone currently living with me that I do not like, and although this is out of my control, I find it difficult to stop myself from feeling responsible for his generally unlikable personality and inability to clean up after himself. Hopefully he will be gone soon, though, and I can use my abilities to be slightly irritating to incentivize his exit.
Highs:
- I am visiting family for the weekend. It is nice to get away from my living situation, even if it means staying with the aforementioned slob and sleeping in my childhood bed. At least I am able to see my pets, as the place I am staying does not allow me to take them with me when I leave. I will be back this summer, though, which gives me the boost of energy I need to complete my job strong. I am taking it one day at a time until there are no more days to withstand.
- There is a rush of inspiration swirling around my mind at this new social media. I always find the first week of joining a website like this, while my persona has not yet established itself, to be the most rewarding. What do I want to do with this opportunity? Who will I portray? It feels good, like a clean start. I always end up being myself, though, which isn't an entirely horrible person to be. It still feels thrilling, imprinting my shape onto the plush expanse of my account.
- I tried a new drink that I enjoyed. Finding joy in the little things is essential, which is why I am pleased that I was able to try a new type of soda this week that I thought was very refreshing and delicious. "Coca-Cola Starlight" is a marshmallowy, minty, vanilla cola that I found extremely wonderful. Hopefully it becomes a staple in the company's arsenal. It makes me feel what the people of Fallout must have felt with all of the strange versions of their cola, although hopefully without the side effects. I do not forsee myself becoming addicted to this soft drink.
- The weather was pleasant. It was overcast and rainy, but was warm. I was able to enjoy a slight breeze and a light drizzle on my morning commute, which is always exhilarating, although it reminds me that perhaps it is time to invest in a raincoat.
Overall, I would rate the week a 7/10. It was perfectly acceptable, and I found many things that made me feel alive, even the small ones. I am happy to be here, I am happy all of you are here, and I hope the coming week allows me the same luxuries that this one did.
