Guess I Owe an Explanation...

Its like this, I'd rather waste my time doing something else if I know the thing I'm going to be reading is going to be boring and pointless. So I figure other people feel the same, and if I have nothing to say, I should wait until I do before filling these pages with randomness.

The reason its been dullsville around here is that as previously mentioned I have no finals to take, but everyone else has had their head in the books. Thus, I haven't been doing much other than exercising, reading, burning cds, playing games, wasting time, eating, etc etc. Did I mention sleep? Yeah, been getting plenty of that.

So I finally met up with the girl I met over Thanksgiving online who's a freshman here, we had a grand ol time walkin over to Freebirds and chowin on some grub. Strangely, I was more nervous heading for the place we decided to meet than I thought I would be. Its not the first time I've come into contact in real life with someone I met solely through the internet, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm very gung ho about the whole internet thing, tend to be very trusting about various issues such as chatting with random people and purchasing products or winning auctions online.

Called up one of my exs on her birthday the other day, she said something that kind of bothered me when she called me back... "Yeah, thanks for calling, I felt bad because I remembered in May, but I just felt awkward..." It seems the popular attitude towards one's previous girlfriend is negativity and disdain, which I just don't understand. I've always tried to maintain friendships with them, just as I would any other friend. I've never dated anyone that wasn't a good friend first, so I see no reason why it shouldn't stay that way afterward. In this particular case we only see each other about once a year, but it just kind of bugged that she would say something like that. Maybe I was just in an easy to be bugged mood.

Began watching the Band of Brothers HBO miniseries that I downloaded a while ago, only two eps into it but this far its pretty amazing. I hear it only gets better, looking forward to viewing the rest. Also decided to make Pearl Harbor one of the DVDs for my Columbia House deal... For those who aren't doing it you get 4 DVDs for 49 cents each along with 1 for 10 bucks at the start, and then have to just buy 3 at regular price over the next two years (tends to be around 20 bucks). So Overall you get 8 DVDs for 72 bucks or so. I guess if you find really good 9.99 each deals in stores its about the same, but the brand new releases tend to be upward of 20 or 25 bucks. I picked up Titanic, Gladiator, Braveheart, The Patriot, and Saving Private Ryan with my initial deal, all movies that just REQUIRE 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sound. :) That's the one downside of my large collection, its all 2 channel sound, no bullets whizzing behind the head or birds fluttering across the room.

Not entirely sure when I'm going home, the dorms close on Saturday so I'll definitely be out by then, but if I find some reason to be home earlier I'll probably head out. Packing up everything is such a pain, I'm sure I'll slack until the last possible moment.
