Long Lunch Breaks are Fun.
That's about as exciting a thing as I have to say today.
Messed with the template a bit, made my description less wordy and added a where am I now section so that doesn't have to be the first question people ask me over the phone. It seems the guestbook and guestmap have become ignored and are thus crying themselves to sleep on a nightly basis. :(
Btw I think I'm going to reward whoever the 10,000th hit is to the site, just hit the "print screen" key on your keyboard, and then go to edit/paste or hit ctrl V in a program like Paint or Photoshop, and you'll have a screenshot you can save and send me. Maybe it'll be monetary, or maybe I'll just tell you how swell you are. Certainly shows how long I've been hammering away at this thing though. And to think the entire time I've been single. Interesting.
The Olympics are this summer, I hadn't even realized that until just now. That's spiffy, because I love watching the Olympics. Shame they're not in the US this time, but Greece seems like a pretty nifty place. Not that I've ever left the country or anything, but when I do I'll probably pop over there at some point. I still have a friend who promised to bust out one of his mother's infamous seven course meals or something if I ever visited, so that would be a good way to take in the local cuisine. The more I hear about other places, the more I realize I'm really going to enjoy travelling.
Dude, she even eats lots of meat on her pizza. And plays DDR. And can enjoy a sunset silently. And has a beautiful singing voice and enjoys singing Disney songs as much as I. And knows sign language. And says hi back even after the 2347283th time I say hi each day.
The "reasons why she's cool" list just kind of goes on.
It's kind of ridiculous how lopsided the ratio is between that and the "reasons why it's the world's worst idea" list is. Unfortunately the few issues there are on the latter are gigantic ones. So time passes and I continue to ponder. At least she's not bored yet.

Well Golly.
Made it over here to the library again for a post, but not anything really tremendously exciting to blog about. Lots of boring classes rehashing mostly stuff I already know, lots of trying to stay awake. Lots of painful PRT, managed the 1.5 mile in just under 10 yesterday which is my fastest time here so that shows promise, especially given we've been going out to eat on a way too often basis due to celebrations involving winning games or people's birthdays or whatnot.
It certainly is a different kind of situation I'm in on the social side of things. There's the capability to spend literally 24/7 with a person, and that makes days seem like weeks, and within a few weeks I feel like I've known at least one person for a year. At least on the mental side things seem to be progressing faster than average. But this leads to a lot of complicated topics that usually aren't covered in week two. So I'm not really sure what's going on at the moment, and that's probably irritating. You want real scary though, I met the parents last weekend, and managed to field all the typical questions pretty well during the interrogation that was attempted to be disguised as polite banter over lunch. Pretty sure that hurdle was supposed to come later too. Ah well I figure I've got a month to ponder, and meanwhile enjoy the present.
