I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
I drove to Anoka, MN (near Minneapolis) on Sunday for 
jesslyn's Going Away/Beat Cancer party. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year, but has kicked cancer's ass with treatment, surgery and unshaken perserverance. Her and her boyfriend Jason have been my best online friends for the past three years, and I finally got to meet them in person. We all met online playing City of Heroes; they've been dating for over two years despite being separated by 1,200 miles. She will be moving in with him in North Carolina on Wednesday.
My visit was filled with adventure: After the obligatory friends and family party, the three of us escaped to see G.I. Joe. (Micro-review: ZOMG EXPLOSIONS!!!) After that we had a bit of trouble finding a place to eat at 10:00. Khan's Mongolian Barbecue: Closed. Perkins: Closed?? IHOP: WTF, closed too!? Finally we found a Boston's Gourmet Pizza that was open. As we walked through the front door we paused, as the song playing inside sounded familiar... "Hey, isn't that Rick Astley?"
Yes, it was. We did indeed get Rickrolled.
In other news, I've been having a hard time relaxing lately. I feel mildly nervous almost all the time, like I'm bracing for an impact, like I'm expecting things in my life to suddenly go wrong. Maybe I'm so used to the feeling of being stressed out all the time from when I was unemployed that I'm having trouble not being stressed. Honestly, I have very little reason to feel this way. I'm employed, I'm healthy, I have great friends, I'm dating a wonderful woman... The only thing even somewhat unstable in my life is my job situation, which is still much improved compared to a few weeks ago. I just wish I could sit down and truly relax. The only times in recent memory I've been able to do that has been withmaypirate. Meh. I dunno.
In other other news, omg guys check this out AWWWWW!
