Friday night I stayed in and played video games and relaxed. It was perfect.
Saturday I had a date. I mean, I think it was a date? I met the guy on OKCupid, but I guess I never know what to expect with people I meet off of it. Is it just a meeting to test the waters for friends or more, or was there some interest ahead of time? I had a really good time with him. We went down to Suseong Lake and rode the paddle boats and walked around a bit. There's a really sweet coffee shop that's built inside of an airplane. Really bizarre, but neat! We sat in the "cockpit" and talked for a bit. After the airplane adventure, we had a berry bing-su dessert at a Korean dessert chain one of my friends had introduced me to. The shaved ice is more like snow, it's amazing! It was such a nice day on Saturday, but a little too sunny. We both ended up with a bit of a sunburn afterwards. Joy. Second weekend in a row of that for me. After our day date, we met up with some of my friends at Boccacio Brau for dinner and went to a singing room when we were done eating. He seems to have a really easy time talking to new people, which is fantastic for a friend or otherwise. Outgoing personalities are my favorite. I am not sure if I'm going to hear from him again or if he wants to see me as more than a friend. However, I'm in a good place right now. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't work out.
Late Saturday night when I got home I noticed this rather large rash on the side of my calf. Immediately panicked a bit, then forced myself to calm down. Stress couldn't possibly help this rash. I did a little googling and I either am dying of meningitis, or it's a sun rash. Sun rashes can show up several hours after sun exposure, and I had plenty of that on Saturday afternoon. I imagine it's the most likely culprit as the rash is flat, has not spread since I noticed it, and doesn't even itch or bother me. I'll give it a week to go away and see a dermatologist if it doesn't diminish.
Last night I called my dad for Father's Day. I'd almost completely forgotten about it, but was reminded by a friend. I never look at a calendar on the weekends. I'd known it was coming up all last week, then once the weekend hit it completely slipped my mind. Thankfully, I managed to speak with him. I miss him so much! I can't wait to visit my dad and step-mom when I'm back in the States again. It's been too long.
Lately, I've been feeling a lot happier, generally speaking. I still have moments where I'm sad, but my bounce-back time is much shorter than before. Alcohol consumption seems to trigger it now, so I have been avoiding alcohol on the weekdays. There's the hope of returning to the US in just a few months that's keeping me going and happier than before.
I'm still sick! UGH. It's so annoying. I really would like to be able to hear out of my right ear and breathe through my nose without interference again. I told my dad about it, and being a worry wart he wants me to see a doctor sooner than later. I don't want to take antibiotics. I mean, I really, really, really hate them. I'm giving this illness until next weekend. If I still don't see any change in symptoms, I'll go. I feel like it is getting better, it's just painfully slow.
So this is day 7 of no Facebook. Most people don't even realize I'm off it right now, so it's easy to see how insignificant having a profile is in everyday life. I mean, I know people I'm closer with, especially some select people back home, are aware of the absence, but others see me so much in the real world that seeing my Facebook isn't a priority to them. That's ok. I found myself getting angry and calling a friend out for staring at Facebook while out at dinner with friends. It's one thing to pull Facebook up to show your friends something, and something entirely different to pull out your phone as a way of subconsciously avoiding interaction while in a real world social setting. It's not ok. My main worry now is that I'm going to miss out on events or happenings because it seems like it's really hard for people to send a text or call to invite you to things instead of just selecting your name in a list of friends to message on Facebook or send an event invite. Oh well, it's only two weeks, then the friends list will be cut down to size.
To end this recap, I'll leave you with the most recent Celebrity Mean Tweets:
