Feeling: Bored of the summer
Listening to: The Cars - All I Want Is You

So I haven't been updating this much. I've been busy battling this computer half the time. Opperating system problems, over heating problems, and just about a hand full of other things too. Well Mandy had her birthday on the 2nd. I got to go see her and spend the day with her and Krystal. We went to Mitsuwa and bummed around there for a while, which is always fun. I like going there a lot. I was actually kind of hoping we would go b/c it's been a while since I've gone and I always really like looking at all the stuff there. I ended up getting a new drink that was a juice drink thing with a lot of pulp, but it was good. Once I got to the bottom of it though it was just too much pulp to drink. Kind of gross to think about, but it tasted good. I also got a Ramune but with pure intentions of giving it to Krystal b/c she wanted to try the different flavors and I knew she'd only buy one. So I got one of the other ones she wanted to try so she could. It's only like a buck so I figure I can spare it. :) As always it was a good time and then we went back to Mandy's for a while where we squeezed in a game or two or three or four or five or six of Super Smash Bros. Melee while her mom waited patiently for us to "finish one last game." *snicker snicker* I've been practicing a little bit with Jiggly Puff, but I'm still not very good at getting that ultra smash attack where she falls asleep. Dave can do it all the freaking time, but I always just end up falling asleep and dying. Oh well, we then headed out for dinner, which was AWESOME. Mandy sure knows how to find a good restaurant. It was a mexican steak house place called Tumbleweeds. It was so good! I got a 10 oz. sirloin with onions and cheese on it, potato wedges, and a few spiced apples. ;)haha After dinner we went back home and I watched about a fourth of The Incredibles while everyone else watched the whole thing. I fell very much asleep on Mandy's shoulder. Gosh she smells good. Anyways, after the movie everyone went to bed as did I and in the morning we had some birthday cake for breakfast and played more Smash Bros. until I had to leave. :( Yesterday after getting home I hung out with Brian for the rest of the day which is always fun. We just bummed around doing nothing all day, and as usual we both had a great time. I found a PERFECT Luigi hat which I got. It of course needs to be de-gay-ified, as well as have the White semi-circle and 'L' stiched on, but it's the PERFECT hat. I wish they had a red one too, I would've bought it right then and there. Alas they didn't, so the hats me and Dave have will be different. The internet hasn't been helping much either. Oh well. Today I saw the perfect fleece stuff at Michael's for making plushie mushrooms. :) It all makes me so happy. Well I have to be going to work now, which makes me not so happy.

Feeling: Another fun day that could've only been better had my better half been here to enjoy it with me
Listening to: Days Go By - Keith Urban

Yeah, so today was cool. I woke up around 10, bummed around for a little bit. Tom and Laura left for Texas before I woke up btw. Laura's gonna be gone for a week or two, Tom for a long time now. I'm gonna miss him but I'm sure we'll still find ways to see him plenty. My parents already implimented the idea of a Mandy and I vacation to see him "if her parents would find it alright." I thought that sounded awesome, but 1) couldn't believe my parents suggested it, and 2) have no idea if Mandy would be up for it, and 3) have no idea if Mandy's parents would be alright with that anyways. So I'm just gonna let that one slip in one ear and out the other for now. Whatever. Well anyways, back to my day. After I bummed around the house for a little bit I went to lunch with my mom and dad who took me to Don Pablo's which was unexpected and very cool. From there my mom and I went to Hobby Lobby to buy paint for an old desk I bought to use in my apartment, but "needs a little touch." Then from there we went to Toys R Us for my cousin Maddison's birthday present. She's turning 2. Brian's half-step-something sister. She's just one of us now. Like it or not. Probably not, but tough, she's stuck. Either way while there I thought of getting a shelving unit I can use for my movies, books, video games, while in the new apartment as well, so we went to Wal-Mart after meeting up with Brian while at Toys R US. We found a good looking shelf thing that I liked but there weren't any available to just walk to the counter with, and there of course wasn't anyone around to help us, so were just going to leave when I thought I'd look for a good Luigi shirt real quick. Low and behold I find the perfect color and size for 12 bucks. Solid green, right shade, nothing on it. Perfect. So my mom even buys it for me. I love my mom. She probably doesn't have a clue what I'm using it for, but she likes to see me in new cloths instead of my favorites which are from like 5th grade and falling apart. So she humors me. :) While at Toys R Us I forgot to mention I found the coolest thing I got. A new version of risk must've come out and no one told me. It's called Risk Godstorm. It's Greek gods and set around Europe and even has Atlantis. It's very cool. Me and Brian spent our whole evening playing around with it. It'll be great for more than two people, but for just the two it was kind of rough. Still cool, but with definitly room to be cooler with more people. Well I'm tired and I have to go to work in the morning, so I'm out.

Feeling: Mandy's here to stay for a while! YAY!!!
Listening to: Celebratory Video Game Music

So move in was a pain in the ass. That's just a given. The internet doesn't like our appartment. I broke my TV. Mandy's back here at school. Woah woah woah. I'll just start with one thing and follow it for a second. Alright, so move in sucked b/c they were redoing the parking lot here, so we had quite a distance to carry, drag, kick, or shuffle all of our stuff from the cars to the appartment. So that sucked. It got done, and things are great, so that's life, we're moving on. The internet is kicking my ass, and I'm not enjoying that. We have provider problems here that I can't really deal with to my liking for about a week. So I'm a little annoyed at that. During the move in process the coaxle cable input on my TV busted, so I need to be without that for however long once I take it in to get fixed. It's under warranty so no problem, just need to do without it for a while now. Mandy's here now!!!!! OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY!!!! I'm going to try really really really really really really really hard not to bother her all the time like every day. It's going to be hard, but I think I can do that. She came with today to my grandmother's 75th birthday lunch thingy, which was a lot of fun. Basically me, Mandy, Laura, and her boyfriend Adam sitting around eating great food talking about how weird me and Laura were when we were little. That always makes for enjoyable conversation, b/c we were REALLY weird little kids. Well anyways, I know it's been forever since I updated this so I just wanted to put a little schpeal in here about move in since I'm here and stuff now. Well here goes another school year!

Listening to: my thoughts

I took Mandy out tonight. We went to see The Brothers Grimm. It looked like it would be a pretty good movie. It was alright, nothing special, but worth seeing once. We had Fazoli's which was pretty good. Gosh, all I can ever think about when I'm with her still is how blessed I am to have been given the chance to have even met her. She's just so perfect in my eyes. I can't put into words the feelings that overwhelm me when I'm with her. I hang on every word she says, I find it idifficult even to simply loose any physical contact with her, and I find myself just staring into her stunning blue eyes and falling in love all over again whenever our eyes lock. I've never known some one as intriguing to talk to, spiritually inspiring, and morally strong as her besides members of my own family. We might only have been going out for a little under 9 months now, but I feel that I've gotten to know her better than I know anyone at all. Having her for a girlfriend is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. Mandy you're the love of my life.
