About Chrissc803
Interests: Travel, Photography, Writing, Reading, Movies, Scifi, and Most Things That'll Put Your Eye Out
UPDATED OCTOBER 18TH, 2009:
Most people would describe me as a happy-go-lucky, sweet, soft, caring smart a$$. ;)
If you asked me, I'd say I'm a slightly sarcastic, fun loving guy, who is continually finding himself (and not knowing how he got there), and an old fashioned softy at heart. Even though I lived away for 10 years I still have a strong "southern gentleman" streak. So if you're offended by little things like doors held open for you...I will greatly offend you.
I turned 36 a couple of months ago, but until I tell people how old I am, most think I'm only in my late 20's…ok…VERY late 20‘s. That may come from working at a college for the past six years and picking up some bad habits...I'm working on that. ;)
Six years of relationship (which ended about seven months ago now) has left me a little unprepared for the single life. Apparently, I'd gotten a bit complacent and let myself go. I'm working on that already though and my trainer tells me I'll be back to a nice fit condition within a couple of months (UPDATE: Yeah…he told me that a couple of months ago…he just said it again last week…so yeah…who knows). I am slowly getting myself back into shape physically, mentally and otherwise.
Dating, New Friendships and Life (ALL UPDATED):
I’ve been using the online sites for dating over the last few months. I’ve had some good results and some…well…not so good. Ummm…if you need me to pick you up because your Ex shot out your tires last night…I’m probably not interested. LOL Found one lady I liked a lot, but after a month or two, she decided I was a serial monogamist, which broke some rule or other, so here I am again. I do have to say she must have been right though, because I’m still stinging a little from that one. I plan to be MUCH more careful from here own out…so expect a little more vetting.
I’ve just come to realize that somewhere in the last decade, I’ve realized I can do anything I set my mind to…problem is…I don’t want to do most of it alone. For someone who has been extremely independent since early childhood, that’s a tough pill to swallow. I’m still exploring what that means, but my outlook has changed significantly even just in the last year.
I’ve realized I’m learning something new from everyone I meet lately…some good, some bad, but all enlightening. All of which is helping me to understand myself better, as well as those around me. For instance, even though I have no interest in having children on an intellectual level, I’m realizing that there is nothing sweeter than the sounds of a happy baby. I give my food to the needy guy who shows up at my door, or find him some work to do so he can feel he has earned help when I give him cash; and, I give bowls of milk to the little stray cats around the neighborhood. I used to chase both off with brooms. LOL So somewhere in there, something is awakening. Could I be growing up!? No way! ;)
for fun:
Dinner and a Movie. Playing hookie at a good coffee shop with friends. Hanging out at a local tavern or bar for fun and drinks. Concocting hair-brained schemes of world domination and general mayhem.
my job:
Recently promoted to "Interim Director of Client Services" at the University where I work. I have no idea what that actually means though. Is that bad? I just know I have an office with four walls that actually go all the way to the ceiling! ;) (UPDATE: OK…I now know that means I do the the work of three people and barely get paid for the work of one. However, I've recently spent two months trying to get a much better paying job at another local university, only to decide as I received a job offer, that there is much more to life than more money. I may finally be beginning to understand a few important things about life…who knows…anything is possible.)
my education:
I'll have a B.S. within the next two months...OR...I'll owe Uncle Sam a whole lotta money. One of the two. The tea leaves are a little inconclusive on that at the moment and my 8 Ball has a leak. (UPDATE: Due to my allowing other things to cloud my brain back about seven months ago ;) I missed an important piece of paperwork which means I’ve now got to finish one last class to get that degree. Should be done by the end of January.)
I’ve also just started a writing course I’d been wanting to do for years. I haven’t taken one in nearly a decade, but writing is something that I’m beginning to enjoy again.
favorite hot spots:
Lived in Colorado for about nine years and wish I had never had to leave. I've been back for seven years and found some favorite spots, but it's time to build new memories and start new adventures.
I’ve also realized I really like the Irmo, SC, area, and managed to build some nice memories up there recently…which have now become bitter sweet. So yeah…still looking for a new favorite place.
