What I like most

What I like most about my work at the moment is measuring crystal structures. I now know how to do it well enough and once in a while I get new structures to measure and solve. Like right now I've got this crystal being measured and I'm really waiting for the results. The measurement will be done like twenty to five so I have to wait for it to finish. Then I would want to solve it but I have to go home. Of course I want to go home but I also want to solve the structure. I could do it at home but that would just be too much. Now as I won't solve it, I'll have a good reason to come to work tomorrow. I have one crystal to measure tomorrow and then I have to wait for more. Sort of unluckily my work involves things other than measuring and solving structure. I'll have to get those things done.

What I like most about my daily life at the moment is the bnd and climbing. Luckily for the bnd (and me), he's also now into climbing. It's great since I can combine two of the things I like most. We've been hanging out way much with the bnd. It almost seems like too much though I'm not getting bored or anything. I noticed that I was sort of involving him in things I've been planning with other friends. Like without asking the other friends. I don't like the idea of being like a "package deal" so I'm trying not to do that.

Me and the bnd have taken loads of friends climbing with us. It's fun to show new people a sport they might not have tried otherwise. I mean I would not have tried climbing if someone had not asked me to come with them (and look at me now). I think a few people have gotten interested so I'm waiting forward to taking yet another person to buy the equiptment with. It will be at least the fourth person I take to that one store. (I'm hoping to get a discount for myself soon.) Personally, I think my climbing ability has not gotten better in a while. It's sort of frustrating partly because the bnd now climbs the same routes I do and he's only climbed for a few months. Though I do have to say that sometimes it is about height and thus I probably still am better technique-wise. We've now been trying to go twice per week but my problem may be in simply not trying things that are difficult enough. (btw my hands are now sweating...) But maybe next time I will try some new route I've not done before. I want too get good for the summer bouldering season.

So if you want to try climbing, then all you have to do is ask. You might be surprisingly good at it. And even though it might not go very well the first time around, I can assure you that the next time it will be more fun. :)
