Well I woke up at 6:30 to drive Laura to work so that I could have the car to see Amanda for lunch then so she could just follow me home instead of dealing with explaining directions. Well she called around 10:30 and I headed out to see her. It was a little early for lunch, and we had nothing to do until later that night when Zack's party was, so we just hung out at the mall, and bummed around Merrillville for a while. We went to Hot Topic, Babbage's, EB Games, Suncoast, Best Buy, Pet Co, Barnes and Noble, GameStop, and then finally Uno's for lunch. We got a pizza and brought it back here and had pizza while we watched a movie. Then we played Smash Bros Melee for a while and just lounged around the house until Zack's party. We headed over there and I introduced her to all my friends. Tiffany, Alice, Zack, Brian, Adam, Dru, Kristy, and some others were there as well. It was a good group. We played some Halo, but Zack has a particularly BAD set up for Halo parties. So we didn't do that much. We just talked and watched crappy TV stuff, but it was still a lot of fun. Just good company, good food, and... uh... good company. It was fun.

I'm going to rant for a second about new years resolutions real quick though. I don't understand why people bother. Most people end up breaking them anyways. I also don't understand the motive. It its something you should be doing anyways then a new years resolution won't make you do it if you haven't been already. Like take dieting for example. If some one hasn't been watching what they eat, I'm pretty sure saying you will for a new years resolution won't change the importance you place upon watching your diet. Resolutions always seem to be one of two things. An improvment on character, or the removal of a physical or personal flaw. There is no way saying you'll try to be a better person for a new years resolution will actually mean anything to you 5 or 6 months (hell 5 or 6 minutes) after you've said it. I don't make new years resolutions. I just try to be the best that I can be all the time, and I don't need the excuse of a new years resolution to keep me from doing what I like. People that give up chocolate for new years are stupid, b/c they're more than likely going to stuff their faces with orderves that very night anyhow. Chocolate is fattening yes, but if you neglect that one bad food and indulge in others still, it doesn't mean crap! So in the end, I guess I say "New years resolutions? Nuts to that!" Thank you.

We took off around 1ish. Maybe a little before or after, but it was around then. I wanted to introduce her to Marcus as well. I didn't know if he was still up, but we saw the lights on so we stopped by. Marcus was a little tipsy and I felt really bad that his new years plans didn't work out. I know what its like when friends don't seem to have the same agenda. I felt kind of awkward introducing Amanda to him when he was in such a state, but it can't be helpped. I'm sure she'll get to see him when he's a little more carismatic some time. Well we stopped by, said our hello's and our happy new years, and then went on our way. We came back here and put on The Last Samurai and slowly started to pass out until we were on the brink of sleep. Then I set up the stuff for her to sleep on the couch in the living room, gave her a kiss goodnight and went on upstairs to sleep. I forgot that the other set of blankets were dirty, so I gave her my blankets and just slept in my jeans and through on a sweater over my t-shirt. It didn't bother me. I really wouldn't have minded just falling asleep on the couch with her.^^ I wouldn't have wanted her to have any problems with the dogs though. That cough is kind of covered in dog. I was worried about her alergies, but she didn't seem to have a problem. I was glad. My dogs really wanted to jump up on her and lick her a lot, but they were very good. I was proud of them. Jake was better behaved than he has been in a while. He's growing up and becoming a very good companion dog. He'll always be my buddy. Well the next day my mom woke me up around 11. I didn't mean to sleep in that late, but it felt nice. I felt like a jerk for leaving Amanda alone in my house for however long. My mom set her up with a nice shower and everything she would need to have a good morning. I was glad, but still felt like a jerk. I didn't have an alarm clock hooked up. -_- She didn't seem to mind, but I felt bad. Then we had some cereal for breakfast and thought about what we wanted to do. We decided on seeing a movie. We went and saw National Treasure. It was pretty good. After the movie we came back home and hung out here for the rest of the day. There wasn't much to do. We just kind of lounged around all day. We tooled around on my computer for a little bit, played a board game, and just enjoyed each other's company. I also felt bad about the lack of things to do. Which is why I can't wait to get back on campus. Then we'll both be busy and when we see each other there will be things to do. Well we just relaxed for the day recovering from having stayed up late the night before. I personally don't care at all what we do. I just like being with her. I enjoy everything she likes it seems, so I haven't had an objection yet. She left some time between 7 and 7:30 that evening. I miss Dave too. I can't wait to be back on campus. I hope he didn't get a blue game boy advance sp for christmas... ^_~ *le sigh* I've really fallen for this girl.^^ Everyone's been telling me how pretty she is too. As if I didn't see that from the very beginning. Pshhh... I know that, but it's so much more with her. She makes me so happy. She likes all the same stuff as me. She likes pick up trucks, and video games, and anime, and we just seem so alike. As soon as she left I felt extremely bored and like something was missing. I'll probably spend the rest of the evening before I go to bed just wondering around the house not doing anything. I still haven't seen her without the ID bracelet I got her yet though. XDDD That makes me very happy. I hope she likes it. Well I'm off now to go wonder the house and not do anything. I might end up putting a movie on and sit there reminisce (yes it's spelled right, I looked it up XD) about the time I spent with her the past 48 hours. ^_^

Listening to: Weezer - Keep Fishin'
Well yesterday was move in day. I haven't been feeling too well the last couple days. I have a horrible sore throat and a pounding headache. It really hurts. So I unpacked my stuff very slowly and comfortably. Dave arrived only about 15 minutes after I did, so I've had some good company the whole time instead of being alone here for a while with nothing to do, I've had Dave here for a while with nothing to do. Yesterday was mostly just that. Nap on and off. Unpack. Change whatever movie just ended. We had to have watched 6 movies yesterday. Well I slept horribly as well. I was "sleeping" from around 11 til 1 o'clock when I decided to get out of bed, but in that time I probably only got about 4 or 5 actual hours of sleep. My throat was killing me all night long. It was bad. Well when I got up this morning Dave had been up for a while and I periodically saw him when I sat up for a second. He had to have played his new Game Boy for hours! I would start to wake up a little bit, see him playing, and crash again. I would later wake up a little again, sit up a bit just to see he had slightly changed positions. It was like a flip book. Well we decided to go to the Union and get our meal cards all configured and what not. So we headed out and did that. We were then heading from the Union to the book store so Dave could look into selling his books and maybe buy his new ones. Well we hadn't gotten half way there when I saw My Amanda. I darted across the road and gave her a huge hug.^^ I think I might have pissed of somebody attempting to drive past at the time... Oh well! Well Dave went on to the bookstore then and I tagged along with Mandy back to her room. We hung out there for a while, while she put some stuff away and "unpacked." Doing anything productive while she's around, or while I'm around her just doesn't seem to work. We just end up sitting around doing nothing then. Its kind of funny really. Oh well, so we decided to come back here and watch Naruto for a while. She watched 3 episodes, I watched 1 and a half. It's not my fault she's so comfortable!!! How am I expected to stay awake watching ANYTHING while lying next to her? ^_^ I don't know, but my being pretty sick probably didn't help matters much. Well after that we went for supper where I had a bowl of chicken and something soup. It was alright, but didn't really help the throat at all. I've been drinking orange juice a lot too. I even had a V8 Splash! I really don't want to be sick right now, so I'm doing everything I can to solve this problem. 1)It sucks not being able to kiss my new girlfriend. 2)It's the beginning of the semester and I don't want to start off feeling this way. and 3)It REALLY sucks not being able to kiss my new girlfriend. She's so adorable.^^ She's really concerned about me. I know I'll be better in no time with her looking out for me. She'll have me drink some Green Tea. :P Halls cough drops don't seem to be effective. If things don't get better in a day or two I'm going to the health center. Well after supper we went to pick up Kymberlee from the train station. Mandy was extremely nice and agreed to drive to Chesterton to get her with me. After we picked her up we played some Katamari Damacy for a while. I really liked the game. The controls were a little weird and twichy, but the game was definately a lot of fun. We played multiplayer and then I watched her play single player for a while so I could see how it played. It looked cool. I tooke the helm for a sec and tried out the single player mode as well. It was neat. For 20 dollars I might end up getting it as well, but not anytime soon being as how I'm horribly underfunded right now. My spending is on a serious check. But after we played that for a while she left to go back and finish (start) unpacking and go to bed since she was tired. I'm tired too, but my head/throat won't let me sleep right now. Dave just came back and asked if I wanted to join him and some people in a game called Catch Phrase. It sounds like fun. So I'm off.

I woke up today around 10 b/c Dave had Kat come for a wake up call. How she was up by then and all cheery is beyond me, but success regardless. I felt like CRAP, and she went and got me some more meds. I didn't have a clue what they were, but I actually took them. Call me stupid, but they looked the same as the off brand Walgreens tylenol wannabe stuff Andrea let me compromise with last night. They did the trick really well last night, and this morning was no different. I was up and feeling great. Without the nasty morning the rest of the whole day went great as far as health goes. Well we headed off to Dynasty Buffet around 11ish, but I didn't eat anything. I definately didn't think it would be wise, so I just sipped on some water and enjoyed Dave's company and Andrea and Kat were there and two of their friends. I can't seem to remember their names for the life of me. They seem nice, but also rather quiet so I don't really know them. So I don't feel so bad not knowing their names. Well it was a pretty good morning over all. Alex came by to talk about our plans for the day. He wanted to get together for pizza/movie and the basketball game later. It sounded good so I said count me in. Then I just tooled around all day in my room. I was anticipating Caitlin stopping by since I told her I'd help her carry things to her room when she was ready to move in. I know how much of a pain that is so I offered my services to everyone. She never showed up. I later found out she moved in around the time I was at Dynasty. It was earlier than when she said, and she knew I would be there around that time, so I didn't let anyone down. At the same time I don't think a single person has actually taken me up on the whole helping them carry stuff to move in... Is that saying something? :) Oh well, so I just sat around playing games with Dave until I went to the funeral for my dad's cousin. It was nice. There was good food and plenty of people around sharing funny stories. Funerals for my family when its some one I didn't really know too well are always a great time, esspecially for military stories. I love listening to stories about way back whenever. They interest me. So hearing stories about my dad's cousin John was cool. My grandma had some awesome food too. Chicken and noodles.^^ *eyes roll back* I'm going to get all excited and hungry if I continue with the food, so that's that. After the funeral I came back to my surprise EVERYONE ALEX WAS TALKING ABOUT AND MORE WERE IN MY ROOM HANGING OUT! Guess saying I'm in for hanging out ment I was hosting. That really bothered me at first, but Alex was more than generous with his pizza and even some home made fudge that I couldn't really be mad. So we hung out and watched some of Anchorman while I chatted with My Amanda inviting her over to save me from 1)the crowded room of people and 2)the basketball game. I've figured it out. Having her around means I'm having a good time. Regardless of what's going on around me, as long as she's with me and smiling and being all cute like she does just all too well, I'm feelin' fine.^^ It's pretty simple really. So she came over and we shortly headed over to the basketball game which was alright, but not to different from high school at this point. We left at half-time and got some food at the Union.

Just watched the preview for Unleashed for like the bagillionth (failing to mention that having watched the preview for that movie implies that I've watched/watching Shaun of the Dead for the bagillionth time as well) and I can't wait for that movie. I just watched Kiss of the Dragon for the first time yesterday and it kicked ASS. I hadn't seen a REAL Jet Li movie. I saw Hero, but that was one of those artsy fartsy films with flighty fight scenes and a very slow paced story. Kiss of the Dragon instantly became my favorite action film now and I have GOT to see more Jet Li flicks.
END SIDENOTE
After food we came back here and played Dave's DVD movie trivia game. It was really fun. We haven't had so many people in our room at once before. It actually seemed to work out really well. I had a great time esspecially with Amanda by my side. I hope I didn't annoy her by getting all excited when I knew stuff. She politely reminded me a couple times to try to stay quiet for my throat's sake. She's right. I should've been quieter. It was still a great time. After the game was over it was starting to get a little later and everyone split off to their own things. Amanda stayed behind for a moment after everyone else and we said our goodnights and I finally let her go before it started to really rain. It was lightly drizzling, but she won't let me walk her home b/c I'm "sick." Pshhh... I definately feel a lot better walking her home especially after dark. Once I'm better she won't get away with me NOT walking her back to her building and delivering a well deserved kiss. I really don't want to be sick anymore... -_- If I'm not better by the weekend I'll go to the health center. Well after Amanda left the day wound down very quickly. I'll probably end up falling asleep soon watching Shaun of the Dead. I'm probably going to watch the Transporter some time tomorrow. I haven't seen that one yet. Sounds like a good movie. Well we'll see!
Oh yeah. One more thing. I just HAVE to include this. There is DEFINATELY something sexy about girls who like country music. I don't know what it is, but it sure does have a strong appeal to it...

Woke up this morning feeling a lot better than I have been, still a little "blech" but not that bad. I Went to the bookstore with Kymberlee to buy my books for the semester. I then went straight to my first class which was Meterology. I think that class should be alright. The professor said something about a bit of coloring here or there for some maps? Sounds promising to me! I know all about how to stay inside the lines, and sharing colors with my friends, so I think it'll be fun. After that class I came back to my room to find that I forgot my keys and was locked out. So Dave (down the hall Dave, not my room mate Dave) went to lunch with Nate from next door. We met up with Troy, Tad, and Stephanie while we were there too. We were just about to leave when this really cute blonde across the cafeteria caught my eye. So I went to talk to My Amanda and invited her to the table which was now just Tad and Steph. So I enjoyed her company while she ate. After she was done I walked her to her class and then came back to my room. I was still locked out, but I hung out in Nate's room and watched him play World of WarCraft for a while. It was cool, we just chilled and talked about and compared online rpg's. Then it came time for my Business Law class. That class ironically happens to be in the same room my comparative politics class was in. It's also going to be hard. I'm going to work really hard this semester. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm going to work my ass off and settle for nothing less of what I can be proud of in the end. After BLAW I go straight to Finite Math. The teacher didn't show up and we left after waiting 15 minutes after the class was supposed to start. I then came back here and hung out for a short while before Amanda messaged me and came over.^^ We watched the Transporter then went for dinner. The food at dinner was decent, but thanks to Amanda's company I never have to worry about the scenery. ^_^ Always fantastic. After dinner we came back to my room and slowly ate away the evening. Just doing this and that and puttering around the room. I don't care WHAT we do really. Whenever I'm with her I'm smiling and having fun, so the topic, or at least GOAL we're TRYING to do, weather it's unpacking her things, watching anime, playing video games, her making me squirm from being poked, or anything really, I'm just having a great time. It DID cross my mind today though that she's been spending an awful lot of time with me, and I'm almost feeling guilty. If she's spending so much time with me, what about her other friends from her floor in Brandt? I hope she doesn't feel like I'd be upset if she decided to hang out with them instead of me one day. I mean, hell, if I could I'd hang out with her all the time, but that's b/c we always end up hanging out here and I still see all my friends come and go and whatever. I have the best of both worlds really. Maybe some time soon we should hang out at HER place again and with HER friends.^^ Well she stayed until nearly midnight playing Smash Bros with me and Dave. Then I walked her back to her room. By around 3 or 4 today my sore throat was a thing of the past. I feel great now. So I finally got my kiss goodnight, and it was stupendous. I was dying for that very moment for the last four days. The thing about it is though, after I kissed her, I still wanted to just as badly as if it hadn't happened. There's just something about this girl that just makes me crazy. XD She's great. Well after I came back, I tooke a nice hot shower, watched Boondock Saints, and went to bed. Good day, and the bottom line? I got my kiss.

Today I had my Meterology lab at 9:20, but my alarm didn't go off when it was supposed to at 8, or maybe it did and I shut it off in my sleep. I don't know, but whatever. Point is, I didn't get woken up by my alarm clock. I woke up all on my own at 9:00. I flipped out b/c I lost all track of time. I had no idea when I needed to be where and what time it was. Lucky for me Dave down the hall, who's in my lab, messaged me and got me going. We went to class together, returned after some breakfast, and I just chilled in my room a for a little bit until my core class at 11:50. That was fun. There's a lot of my friends in that class. I DO feel kinda bad about Dave my room mate not having gotten in though. He was in it last semester. I feel like I took his spot and it kind of bothers me since it IS such a cool class. He says he doesn't mind though. He's cool about it. Then after core I just came back to my room and hung out and contemplated taking a nap which I never did, until my math class, which we actually had today at 3:05. On the way there I ran into Mandy's room mate. She said how my girlfriend was playing ddr.^^ I like having a girlfriend. Well after class I came back here and messaged Mandy to see what she was doing. She was still just sitting around playing ddr, and invited me over. So of COURSE I go over and we have an AWESOME time. We played in her room for only like a minute then decided it would be better in the lounge downstairs. I went back to my room, grabbed my pad, and my other two games, and met her in the lounge where we played until it was time for dinner. Just went over to the cafeteria, grabbed some grub, and played some more.^^ Tatiana hung out with us the whole day. She's funny. I like hanging out with them. They're fun. After a little while we switched it to Katamari Damacy and Mandy's room mate showed up with a friend and they each gave it a try too. That game's super fun. I'm really glad Mandy likes it.^^ After that we watched The Italian Job. I love that movie. I've only seen it twice. Would've been the third time but when I'm laying down with Mandy watching anything for an extended period of time, I find it extraordinarily hard to keep from falling asleep. She's just so comfortable and relaxing! I haven't ever had this problem so badly. I hope she doesn't get annoyed by it.^^' Its just so nice when I'm lying there, with the scent of her hair and my arm around her, and the feel of her hand holding onto mine. It's just the most comfortable state imaginable. So after a day of classes and playing ddr (even if I had just the slightest fatigue I probably would) I fell asleep. I woke up on and off, but I was just in paradise. After the movie I helpped her pick up her things and take them back to her room. Tatiana was in her room with the door half open, so we were OBLIGATED to do SOMETHING to her. Well Mandy gave me the honor of kicking her door open. Well so I do my double dragon jump kick of doom on the thing, but not too hard because I didn't want to damage anything. The door flew open, hit the door stopper and then had just enough momentum off the bounce to shut politely in my face. It didn't even just slam shut it was like some one just closed it discretely. I was astonished at my accidental precision and took a sit down for a moment. Mandy was cracking up and Tatiana thought she had done it at first. After we all regained our composure I claimed my good night kiss and went off on my way. I was told to be to bed, since I had fallen asleep during the movie. The walk back was really cold. The wind had picked up and the chill woke me up all too well. So when I got it was JUST in time for our floor meeting. Our new RA is awesome. He basically told us all to be good, don't do things he wouldn't do, and then explained that he breaks all the stupid rules and bends the ones that need bending. He's definately cool. After the meeting he came in here and asked us how we thought he was taken b/c he said we had already received him well and he feels like we're already decently good friends. It makes me glad to know that he considers me a confidont already. He's most definately made it high on my friend list already. I have to invite him over for Smash Bros some time. He said he could kick any of our asses in Mario Kart, so we'll have to try that out as well. Well then after the meeting Brett came over and threw down a light, and I emphasize LIGHT Halo challenge which I quickly and discretely extinguished. Dave then put on Joy Ride, which was actually pretty good. I watched about a third of it. Then I fell asleep. At least that's how I remember it...

Listening to: the movie Kiss of the Dragon
I just got back from spending the weekend with My Amanda for her mom's wedding. It was really fun. I got to meet everyone and really enjoyed the food. Everyone was so nice to me. It really was a great time. Friday we went to John's house (her mom's fiancee) and had dinner and had all their families come over, so I got to meet EVERYONE right away. They were all really friendly and gladly received me. I felt kind of like a misfit at times, but overall it was comfortable enough. We played Uno and chinese checkers upstairs. It was fun. Her little cousins are a blast. Samantha which was 7 seemed to like me well enough, but Jessi, the littler one around 4 didn't seem to comfortable around me. Well around half way through the chinese checkers her little cousin Colin came upstairs. He's got to be only like 3 at the oldest. He might only be 2 even. Really little tyke. Cutest little kid I've seen in a long time. Me and him played back and forth shooting a little hair scrunchy at each other for like a good 10 minutes. He was just so much fun. I could've done that all day. Makes me wish I had a little mini-me following me around at times.^^ Well after we left there we went back to Amanda's and went to bed b/c we had to get up early the next morning for the actual wedding. That morning I woke up first, got my shower in, and sat around for like three hours while all the girls ran around doing their thing. :P I didn't mind. I had my gameboy so I was perfectly fine. I grabbed my suit and everything I needed when it was time to go and we all left. I changed when we got there so that I wouldn't be covered in cat fuzz. Once I was changed I just ran errands here and there trying to be as useful as I could. The wedding was really beautiful. Amanda looked simply stunning. Her hair was gorgeous. I think her sister said she helpped with everybody's hair. Whatever the circumstances were Amanda looked fan-freaking-tastic. After the wedding we went to the reception and ate and danced. It was SO much fun. I never really bothered to get up and dance before. I always just kind of hung over in the corners and watched. Amanda got me to actually dance and I had one HELL of a time. They did a lot of line dancing and I tried my hand at some of it, but I don't think I'm too cut out for it. After the reception we went back to Amanda's house and watched Shrek 2 while I fell asleep on Amanda's shoulder.^^ It was late and I was really tired. After about half way through the movie Amanda threw in the towel as well and decided it was time for bed and she went upstairs and I crashed on the couch. Then this morning she woke me up, which is ALWAYS a great way to wake up. There't nothing like having the first thing you see in the morning be that perfect some one. We got our stuff ready to leave and left around 11:45. She took me to the Krispy Kreme shop and we got a dozen donuts.^^ I hadn't ever actually been inside the Krisp Kreme places. So I got to see the donuts going threw the convayor belt and glazed and all that fun stuff. They were really really good. She's so kind to me. She makes me feel so lucky all the time. This weekend was really great. After the donuts we just got on the road and came back to campus where I am now. I need to read a chapter for my Business Law class so I'm off for now. Might do a little more later tonight, just wanted to record the weekend before I forgot anything important.^^'
Well the rest of the day kind of came and went, nothing much happened until Dave called and asked if I could help navigate him to another Domino's b/c they needed some supplies. I said ok. Turns out he took me all the way down Route 30 and north down Broadway. I didn't expect to go that far, but I didn't mind. I had nothing better to do. So I helped him do that and when I got back I went to Burg for some food. I got chinese and some seasoned potato wedges. It was delicious. I brought it all back here and ate the chinese with my awesome chop sticks Dave got me. They worked well. I'm getting pretty good and rockin' the sticks. I'm definately still not there, but I can manage without getting frusterated anymore. After I ate Dave had returned. He mentioned Halo later, as well as plans to go to the pool at the ARC. Sounded like fun. So of course having heard of things to do what's the first thing I do? I think, "OH Amanda would like to do this too!" So I message her and invite her to swim and then to play Halo. She said yes and came along with us to the pool. She asked if she should wear a one piece or a two piece, and I'm just like. "umm...." I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to realize that a two piece means sexier. So naturally I say two piece then she says one piece would be better for swimming, so I say ok that'll be fine. I wasn't too disappointed really, I still got to see her in a swim suit.^^ She was ragging on her self about her hair and goggles whenever it came up, but she sure looks good in a swim suit, and her goggles actually looked really professional. After swimming we went back to her room for just a second so she could do her hair the way she likes. I wanted her to be comfortable if we were gonna play Halo for however long. She's such a great sport. We played for a good 2 hours. I was doing particularly bad. I guess tonight just wasn't my night. Well we had fun, but then we got tired so I walked her back to her room. Oh my god. If I had to rate our kisses tonight would definately be at the top of the list. I nearly melted. I've noticed a pattern with me. The better the kiss is, the less charismatic and more clumsy I am directly afterwards. Well this one sure sent off the fireworks b/c right after wards I got really quirky and stupid and whatever. I said good night and we moved on. Well she messaged me later though I wasn't in the room to receive it saying how her mom called her and said again to her how nice I was and how much of a help I was over the weekend. That makes me feel just awesome. I'm so glad I got to go let alone that everyone keeps saying how nice I was and how much they liked me. I'm like overwhelmed with kindness from these people and I just do what I can to help out and I just get even more back. It's such a great little circle. She definately has some great family. Her little cousins are super terrific, and her grandfather was great to talk to. Her aunt was really nice and liked to tease me. She's definately a lot of fun. I really hope to stick around for a while with this group. Amanda's just GREAT, and everyone in her family is nothing but nice. I feel lucky to have been invited. I was so well received. I haven't ever really had that experience before. I've only had one girlfriend before and her family seemed to hate me most of the time. They were mostly jerks to me constantly from the very beginning and would insult me for liking Jessica. They wouldn't do it to tease, they just seemed like bitter people. I can not begin to express how wonderful Amanda's family is in comparison to what I've dealt with in the past. I just want to make very strong note of that. My parents also had nothing but wonderful things to say about Amanda as well. "She's so pretty!" and "She's such a nice girl!" and my personal favorite from my dad "She likes camping? Hang on to this one!" Our relationship just feels so right and everyone is so positive about it. It's really wonderful. My only concern is that I don't get annoying or do anything to turn her off from me. I definately don't hide anything I am from her. She seems to already know me pretty well and she still sticks around, so things are definately looking good in that field.^^ It'll be a month on the 15th. I need to think of something special. She most definately deserves it. Well I have a few days. I'm sure I'll think of something. God she's great...

Feeling: Exhausted/Completely Infatuated
Listening to: Dispatch - The General
Last couple days have been busy with classes. I haven't really had much work in any of them just yet, but I have a feeling my Business Law class is going to be my hardest one this semester. I'm going to do my best to kick ass in it though. I have a feeling MET is going to be fairly simple at least for the first half of the semester or so, and the same for Finite Math. They seem easy enough so far. That's besides the point though. I'm still going to make sure I do as good as I can in all my classes. I want to get a good GPA b/c having dropped out of Comp Pol didn't look good, and my GPA sucks. I want an academic record I can be proud of, and I currently don't. Later on Sunday Dave, Andrea, Jessica, My Amanda, and I went swimming.^^ It was kinda nice to use the pool, but I'm definately not good at swimming in a straight line... *scratches back of head* heh heh... So I didn't swim too much, I just kind of hung around in the water and talked to them all between laps. Dave was right there with me, but with more of an ethic to pick it up and do better at it. I just didn't really care. I don't think I'm going to go too often to actually swim. We went again today but to lift and maybe play some basketball which we ended up doing a little of both. I was happy. I played decently enough. We didn't get to lift for long. We got kicked out by the track team, which is when we went to play some ball. On our way TO the ARC though, I convinced everyone to go to Burg real quick so I could talk to Mandy.^^ They followed, but I had to convince them at first. "It's cold out!" "That's not even on the way!" whatever. I got them to let me make the stop. I asked if she wanted to swim since I knew she used to and if she wanted to I'd go. She didn't so I ditched them when they went and just hung out here until Mandy was done with work. She IM'd me and asked why I didn't go swim. ^_^ She then asked if she could come over and stalk me for a while. I gladly consented and she was on her way over. I had been doing a little laundry just earlier. She helpped me hang a few things up. She's so nice. She even brought over my shorts and towel, AND donuts which I left at her room on accident. I can easily say she's the best thing that's happened to me since school started in August. Well I scarfed down a couple of the donuts while battling Mandy to NOT smear the glaze and whatever stickiness all over my face. I lost a few times. I vow I shall return the "favor" to her though. MUAhahahahaha.... fufufu Well we went to the library to get some coffee which neither of us ended up getting actually. It's great, she's just like me. Make a suggestion to go somewhere for something, get there, and get something totally different simply b/c it looks good.^^ I guess we're easily distracted. Shiney things or if they have flashing lights, or pretty colors seem to do the trick rather well for me at least. Well we then went to her room to watch Naruto and I DIDN'T fall asleep for even a minute. I watched a whole disc. See Amanda?!? I CAN DO IT! It's DEFINATELY not that I dislike the show. Far from it! I think it's really cool and want to see more, but when I'm lying there with her and she's all warm and smelling good and comfy and.... *snore* woah! Yeah. So it's like that. Well it's official. Mandy is definately good at saying lines that make me melt in her arms. "Don't think you're going to get away without a kiss." It was nearly midnight and we were both exhausted. At least I knew I was. She seemed to be, but she's still really smooth with her words. Unbelievable. She's definately a spectacular kisser too. Every time I hang out with this girl regardless of what we do, if I steal a kiss or not, or for how long, it's simply the most fun I have all day. She's definately something special...

Feeling: Hopelessly twitterpaited
Listening to: Nothing but a nice, quiet room... ahhhh...
Today was simple. I went to my classes, nothing special happened. I went to the law school building to look up the stuff for my papers I need to write for Business Law. Got a good start on that stuff. It's not even due for another week. I was proud of myself. I finished my math homework for tomorrow instead of doing it right before I go to class too.^^ Mandy told me to finish before she would hang out with me, so I had too. It definately worked too. Normally I would just say I finished even though I hadn't just to hang out. For some reason though, she motivates me to go above and beyond what I normally do. This semester I've already noticed a considerable difference in my academic work. I'm definately going at things with a better attitude and improved work ethic. Well I got that all done, had a match or two of Halo at one point or another throughout the day. Didn't do bad, but didn't do great either. My mind has been elsewhere... I haven't played all that well in Halo for almost a month now. Yeah, been playing bad for about a month this Saturday exactly... Hmmm... Oh well, after I got my work done I went over to Mandy's room and we watched Naruto. The fights are getting pretty good. I also spent some free time between classes picture surfing today. I found some good stuff, not much, but I got a cool Naruto background that'll entertain me for a while. I have everything I could possibly want out of life right now. Only one thing escapes me... and that would be a City of Heroes Game Time Card...^^' We all have our guilty pleasures and mine is beating up random goons with a sword. I haven't played in about a week and a half and I'm beginning to feel it. Mr. Sword Guy is getting bored. He's close to super speed too! *drool* I need to get back in the game, but I don't have the money for the Time Card! It sucks being a poor college student. Besides that simple little luxery I can't think of a single thing lacking in my day to day life right now. Food - good. Sleep - good enough. Kisses from a hot blue eyed blonde - exquisite...
Life is good.

Feeling: Trusted/Worried
Listening to: Nothing, Dave's sleeping...
Today was pretty easy, got all my homework done yesterday so I didn't have to deal with anything really before any of my classes today. It was definately a good feeling. I didn't really get much work from my classes today so I had a good amount of free time. Of course I hung out with Mandy. We had lunch together squeezing it in between classes. After classes she had some homework which she finished up in time for us to grab some dinner and then come back to play some Halo. I told her about my situation with Jessica and she seemed to understand. She says she trusts me, which is very good, because I don't know how things would end up right now if I don't continue to talk with her. I hurt her really bad and hardly a day goes by where I don't think about what I've done to her. It pains me greatly, but at the same time I feel that I need to move on. Amanda is such a great girlfriend!^^ Everything she says and does seems so absolutely perfect to me. She could so totally have any guy she chooses, and she's chosen me. I feel so lucky and blessed to be me right now. At the same time I feel a certain level of responsibility for the state Jessica is in, but there's nothing I can do about that. She says she wants me back, but I don't recipricate at all anymore. She told me over the phone that she still loves me and always will... What does some one say to that?!? I just can't love her anymore. I was feeling pulled down. I saw too much of her mom in her and I definately didn't like where her parents ended up. After meeting Amanda's mom and family I most definately do NOT have that same worry with her. Her entire family is so loving and kind. The atmosphere is uplifting and caring. It's so great. That just SO made me fall farther for Amanda. Her friends resemble my own as well. We have such similar backgrounds, but not exactly the same, so we constantly have things to talk about. It just feels so incredibly right to be with her. Everything's pointing toward the obvious answer of staying with this person for as long as she'll have me. It's almost been a month and I haven't had a dull moment with her yet. When I'm with her, my mind is on her and nothing else. She's running threw my head all day long when I'm not with her, and when I am everything just seems perfect. It just all seems so flawless. We played a role playing game today with a few of her friends who she introduced me to. They're really cool. I filled in for someone who hasn't been showing up. She seemed worried that I'd be bored at first. PSHH! HA! Me? Bored role playing? right... I thought the game was AWESOME! It was really well layed out and Carnie (our DM) did an awesome job. The rules were simple, and I killed like 8 goblins and 2 orcs. I was a human barbarian fighter type of course. It just so happened to be that that was the character left behind for me to use. That's like my all time favorite one to play as too. I was stoked. After we played for like two hours we went to Carnie's room so he could show us a stand up comic's routine he thought we should watch b/c he said it was really funny, and he was right. They guy had some really good one liners. After that I walked her back to her room, and as usual I got my good night kiss. Every single time is better than the last... After having my feelings for Jessica fade out I thought for sure it would be a while before I felt this way about anyone, but Mandy... GOD! She's just so... so... cute, and so... kind, and has such great taste. I could just go on and on about every little thing I like about her, but that would take forever. I feel so incredibly blessed to be in such a wonderful relationship, and I hope it lasts for a long time to come...

Feeling: Pleased with myself
Listening to: Flow - Go
Well yesterday was a lazy day. I didn't do much of anything all day. I had my core class aroun 11:50, which I barely woke up for. I came to my room after class and just vegged for a while. Then I met up with Mandy a little later for some DDR that didn't agree with our legs at all. We both THOUGHT we wanted to play, but it didn't work out so well really. We just kind of messed around. It was fun. Afterwards we went back to her place and just hung out watching Naruto/falling asleep. Dave was having truth or dare night in our room and I didn't really want to participate. The group involved just seemed slightly more perverted than I would be comfortable playing truth or dare with. So we hid at her place while this took place. We got to like episode 20ish? I don't know, we've gotten pretty far into it. I love it. It's really addicting. I've been trying to download it on my computer, but it's taking forever! I'm like barely at 10%. Meh... I don't NEED it, so I'm not really concerned at all. Well we just layed around doing that all evening and then I went home. Regardless of the activities we do I always like just being around her. She can always make me smile. I find myself just randomly smiling for no reason while looking at her sometimes just because I'm happy. It usually gets me a "What?" and I just say "nothing" because it really isn't anything, I'm just happy, but it usually doesn't work. I usually get poked for an answer that I don't have, but it doesn't matter.^^ Oh well, that was basically my friday. Today I had work from 10 - 4 and it wasn't anything special. I did what I could to clean up and kick ass in my sales, but nothing really funny or exciting happened. After work I went to Wal-Mart, bought Mandy a rose, came back to my room real quick, gathered my stuff, and headed over to her room to pick her up. I gave her the rose and we sat around there for a while trying to figure out what EXACTLY to do. I planned a dinner and a movie date, which sounded good. I had planned on House of Kobe. As far as the movie part, we didn't really know what we were gonna watch. We eventually decided on Meet the Fockers. I really didn't care what we saw. It's not the content of the movie nearly so much as it is the company.
EXAMPLE
I refuse to watch chick flicks. Only condition of which I will watch them is if it's with a significant other. Then it doesn't matter, and no, I won't veg out and not watch it. I will actually watch it, but it just makes it that much more bearable. And yes, I might even admit to liking one or two here or there, but if you catch me admiting to it, I'll do whatever I can to then deny it a second later.^^
Well the dinner was AWESOME! The food was really good, and watching them cook it right in front of us while doing all those tricks with the spatulas was really cool. Amanda doesn't really like shrimp, so I took any shrimp that came her way and all of my own. I definately liked the shrimp more than anything else that night, but it also happened to be the least I got of anything. I ordered the shrimp and chicken combo, and the chicken seemed only so-so to me. It was really dry and all I had to give it some flavor was some soy sauce or to put it in my white rice which only helped a little bit. Overall though that was a small detail to a most excellent meal. After dinner we went right to the movie theater but had an hour to kill. During that time was when I slipped to her the little paper I wrote pooring out all my feelings which I knew I wouldn't be able to say out loud because it'd be too corny. I had to express it all some how, and I think it worked well. She seemed to like what it had to say, which is definately a plus for me because I really dumped my feelings into it. I can't express how happy she made me feel. She gave me such a hug after reading it. I hesitate to use the word love, but I feel so strongly for her. Everything just seems so right. I haven't had a bad day since we started dating. I've contemplated the 'L' word over and over and well, I just avoid using it because of the gravity of the word right now. It's a heavy thing, and I don't know if I'm ready to deliver such a blow. I figure when the moment comes for it, I'll know, and it'll be comfortable. If it's not comfortable to say, or even WRITE then it's probably not a good time to present yet. And I definately say yet, because our relationship is building nicely. I hope it lasts a long, LONG time. This last month has just been so much fun, and I never want this feeling to end.

Which Riku Are You? (Kingdom Hearts)
brought to you by Quizilla
I did the quiz Mandy did the other day b/c it was kingdom hearts and seemed like fun despite harassment from Rawson for being on Quizilla. I think his mockery went something like "yeah, I liked quizilla, until one day I realized I'm taking quizes made my 13 year old girls that are probably being taken by countering 13 year old girls, and here I am creepily taking these same quizes as a 18 year old guy." That's definately not an ACTUAL quote, but it's close enough. Regardless I thought it was decently cool.

Listening to: Less Than Jake - I Think I Love You
Yesterday and today were good days. Not much to report. Just the usual. Hanging out with Dave and Mandy. Yesterday I just out of no where called Mandy 'kitty' and I think it's gonna stick. Koneko.^^ We played .hack at her place yesterday and today a little. I like the story a lot. I think I'm pretty much filled in up to where she is in the game right now. At the moment I think it might work out nicely. She takes control for story line and important events and when she needs to level up, I'll take the helm and beat up jerks. Tonight we watched DareDevil and Gone in 60 seconds. I must be doing something right because this girl doesn't seem to be tired of me yet.
Personal Note
You wanna say it, just say it. There's no reason to hold it back... Do I really feel it? It hasn't been that long really, but it feels so sincere... Should it wait for a special occasion? or should I just spill it one day during a casual situation? I think that'd just be a little weird. I don't know how to make it not weird! Don't do it. It's too soon. Maybe I should just wait and be on the receiving end of that one... Damn it! Why does something so simple have to be so complicated?!?!?!
You are true love. You love to be romantic, and can
be on the needy side. You are also very caring,
open, and honest, and are looking for a long
lasting relationship. You can get very hurt
when people break up with you, but you are very
optimistic and get over it quickly. You believe
in soul mates.
What Type Of Love Are You?

meh, who knows... I can't judge myself accurately, but then again, how well could some 13 year old girl's quiz judge me based on less than 20 questions? Oh well. It's there.

Feeling: Meh...
Listening to: nothing
Today was busy. I had to write a few papers. My classes weren't to deep today. Nothing too exciting. After my last class I wrote up the papers I had to do and then Mandy came over and we just sat around being bored together for a while until the guys came together and we played some Halo. I did particularly bad. I got kind of pissy, and kind of tired, and I just went blah... Well after we were done I walked Mandy back to her room. She didn't want me to b/c it's cold, but it seems even colder when you're alone. Well it was really cold so I just gave her a quick kiss so that she could get inside and get warm. She says she thinks she's getting a little sick maybe, so I don't want her getting too cold. Well then I came back to the room and watched a little Red vs. Blue with Dave. Then Jessica got online and we talked for a little while. She showed me a picture of her new boyfriend. I'm glad she found some one she can be close with. I was really worried about her since we broke up. I mean, of course I saw the picture, and told her how happy I was she could find some one new. I have never felt more guilty in my life as I had for breaking up with her. I still feel it was the right thing to do, and I'm glad we can talk now without arguing constantly or being weirded out. We're just friends, and that seems to be working out for now. Who knows what it'll be like tomorrow though. All I know is that Amanda looked AWFULLY cute today in her grey turtle neck and red scarf. She's so much fun to play Halo with.^^ She had her hair back in a pony tail still from work. She does this really adorable thing where she has her hair put back, but a strand or two still drapes down beside her face. It looks really sexy. She saw me when I went to visit her while she was working. I was meaning to kind of just pop up all of a sudden in front of her, but she found me before I could make my way over to her. My friend Jen mentioned a formal dance some time in February. It sounded like fun so I invited Mandy to go to the dance with me. I think she said yes, but I don't really remember to be honest... Well I'll just ask her to remind me then. What can I say, I'm only a guy...^^

Listening to: Glenngary Bhoys - Alive
The last couple days have been pretty good. Nothing too exciting has happened lately, but I'm just enjoying my time with my friends.
Blurb on my Daveness
Dave's been particularly fun to hang out with lately. We've been getting really close over the year. I just wanted to put a blurb in here about how kind he's been to me since day one of our room-mate-edness. He's bought me stuff, does his share of cleaning and what not (maybe more, but I won't ever admit it), and just is really comfortable to live with. We're both relatively easy going when it comes to living conditions, so it just makes it easy. We have similar styles of living when it comes to cleanliness. I don't know what I'd do if I got stuck with a neat freak. I would probably go nuts. We keep things on a certain level of organization I'd like to think (despite losing the TV remote every day). Over all things here on campus are really great.
Blurb quota met...
Well I haven't really done anything to special other than hanging out playing Halo and watching movies. Same old same old. Doesn't mean it's not fun as hell though!^^ Except that Mandy was awesome enough to drive me to Kohls and then to Barnes and Noble's and what not. I got a cool one-up hat, some socks, and a new comic book. Then we came back to supper. Tonight was good ol' Halo and Turtles 3. I slept through a good deal of Turtles 3 on Amanda's lap, b/c I like that one the least of all three of the Turtles movies. Well after the movie there were a few more rounds of Halo. Me and Dave figured out a way to put Mandy on a handicap where she lives long enough to learn the levels well, take us out, but can still be taken out, but it's freaking hard to do. It made it fun, Mandy competed well with the new settings and I had a blast. I think it'd be fun to play just me, Dave, and Mandy only more often.^^ Our scores were pretty even. We role played tonight too. Almost forgot to mention that. I've been invited to perminately play with them, and I'm having a blast. I was stoked when Mandy said that. I was hoping I could get in on the fun.^^ I named my barbarian character Glorak as an ode to my cousin Brian. He came up with it one day when we were playing D & D in my family room. We haven't ever used the name for a character, but I liked it. Well anyways, after the night ended I walked Mandy back to her room, kiss goodnight as usual (each one better than the last mind you), and came back here for the night.

Feeling: Wanting to cuddle -_-
Listening to: the movie Shaun of the Dead
Today had a rather panicked start. I woke up a little later than I had hoped and had to write a paper for my core class. I wrote a paper with a half hour to spare. I then found out I wrote the paper due on Monday and not today's. So I had half an hour to write my paper for the day. I think it actually ended up pretty good. After class I went to Target with Dave and Shauna. I got a couple of classic Disney cartoons on DVD, some bleach to clean the fridge, and some air fresheners. We had some Pizza Hut for lunch which was really good, then came back. I made a hair cut appointment and went to hang out with Mandy til I had to go. We went to the coffee shop where we both got the same thing. We hadn't ever tried it before, and it ended up being pretty gross. So we ditched the drinks and walked back to her room. I went to get my hair cut then, and came back to pick her, Dave, Shauna, and Tommy up to go get dinner. We all went to Don Pablo's with my mom, dad, and sister. It was a really good time. After dinner we came back to my room where we watched my Disney cartoons and then played some Halo. During the cartoons and between them and the Halo was some prime cuddling. Mandy is so insanely comfortable. After Halo she got tired and decided to go back to her room to go to bed. I actually wished she could just stay the night so we could just spoon. I sleep infinately better when I'm cuddling with some one than when I'm alone. She smells so good too. It wouldn't be a wise decision, but I can always contemplate the comforting thoughts. It was so nice when I was at her house, having her wake me up. When the first thing you see in the morning is that cute girl your just crazy for, it definately makes for a good day. She's going back home for the weekend, and the roads are going to be horrible. I'm going to worry about her until she gets back safely. I don't know what I'm going to do with my time this weekend if she's not here. Dave and Shauna are probably going to want to spend some time alone in the room, and I'll have no where to go. It's gonna really suck. Tomorrow will be the first full day I won't see Mandy since school started again for the semester. -_- *sigh* I definately don't mean to be clingy. That's the last thing I want to do. I just can't get enough of this girl.

Feeling: Special
Listening to: different unknown techno songs
Yeah, so forget that whole not seeing Mandy thing. That girl is great. She came and visited me at work on her way out to head home.^^ I was quite surprised. That was really the last thing I was actually expecting. I think I've been visited at work by a girl maybe twice before today. So when the special some one comes to see me at work, it really means something to me. It upset me that we were so slow all day though, and as soon as Mandy comes to see me we've got like 6 other people in the store all of a sudden, so I couldn't really just talk to her. It didn't stop me as much as it probably should have though...^^' Well after work I came back here, and Shauna and I went to Barnes and Noble just for fun. I didn't get anything other than some food from the cafe. It was alright food, not too good, but it was cheap with my discount, so whatever. Then we came back here and watched the classic batman from where we left off last night. I nearly fell asleep and Shauna did for a bit across the room while reading manga/watching the movie. I tooled around on my computer burning some generic techno stuff for Rawson and that was basically it. Then Mandy got on from home for a while and we talked. Then I drifted off to sleep.
Bottom Line:
I got to see My Mandy today!

Feeling: Charished
Listening to: myself chewing pizza... ewww... gross sound really...
Today I didn't do jack. I sat around, played a little of this, then a little of that. Read a comic for a while, searched some pictures online. Nothing much really. It wasn't until around 8 when Mandy came back from her trip home. I was reading the new Ultimate Fantastic Four, which is getting really good by the way, when all of a sudden she just pokes her head around the corner of my door way! I tossed down the comic and gave her a big ol' hug. It wasn't much, but she was gone, and I missed her. At least today the weather was good, so I wasn't worrying to death about her making the trip. Yesterday it was just crazy. Well she came over and we gathered Jeff and Troy to play a few rounds of Halo, which was fun. Troy beat us all every time, but the last one I got pretty close to taking him. Mandy's getting particularly good. We didn't even play with handicaps. I think she's learning really quick, but I still beat her nearly every time because, (take notes Mandy :P) she never uses the melee button. She's getting good and jumping and shooting though, and that's definately a more advanced tactic. She started out instantly being a pro at having some one follow her, then stop moving and assassinate them as they round a corner. So all in all, she's doing quite well. I'd definately like her to be on MY team whenever we play. The guys are cool and probably wouldn't split us up anyways. If they did all it would take would be her to lean her head on my shoulder and a puppy look and it'd be done anyways. (still taking notes Mandy?) Well anyways, after we were done playing, me and her just layed around talking. We didn't even do anything, but her company is just so enjoyable to me that I almost prefer just sitting around and talking with her. It's just so easy to talk to her. Well after a while, we were both slowly drifting off to sleep, so that meant it was time for her to go. I walked her back, as I like to do, and snagged myself one heck of a good night kiss. We're talking fireworks here... Then I came back here, finished reading the new Fantastic Four, and then went to bed. Wasn't the busiest of days, but I definately enjoyed every minute of it.

Feeling: Lucky
Listening to: the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas
So today was the busiest day of the week for me, and it went by fast and without any problems. In between school stuff I got to see Mandy. I scared the crap out of her this morning. I snook up behind her in her hallway while she was facing the other way and came from behind and glomped her good. Picked her up and everything.^^ She's just so adorable. I really can't help myself. We had lunch together and then went our seperate ways for our classes. After I was done with my class I went right over to her room, and we came back here and played some halo on and off for most of the evening. We also watched Count of Monte Cristo. (I napped mostly) My god that girl is comfortable. I'm getting spoiled napping with her like that, b/c I'm going to get used to that level of comfort and have trouble sleeping without her. That would be a double edged sword. (swords are cool) Dave pushed us both in the snow on our way to dinner. We were having fun, but in the end he's just much bigger than us and we couldn't take him. We both ended up quite cold and wet. When we were back at the room I let her change into one of my shirts. I left the room of course! Duh. It wouldn't have taken much negotiating for me to have stayed though... XD Well we then played a little more halo and what not. Then Dave showed Mandy Puni Puni Poemy. When that was done it was late and time for Mandy to leave. I walked her back to her room. Tonight people were walking by and stuff, so I think my deliverance of the good night kiss was a little uninspired... At least I left not really feeling proud of it. Well I then went back to my room, made some nasty easy mac that I didn't finish, watched the Nightmare Before Christmas, and fell asleep.

Feeling: Dum de dum dum dum...
Listening to: Ozzy^^
I'm bored. I usually update this stuff before bed, but I have nothing to do. So I totally added the finishing touches to my new pictures page which is totally worthless, but it was something to do. Just a few of the pictures I have running across my screen saver. I'm wearing my red pimp hat! ^_^ I don't bust this baby out too often, but I'm so bored I had to result to the hat for entertainment value. Dave, Mandy, and like the entire rest of the universe are at some sort of WORK. I've got no homework, nothing needs to be read, and no one to play games with. Looks like it's html time, or dare I say it... Single player games?... w00tness! I haven't done THAT in a while. Problem solved! Laterz all!
After Mandy got off work she came over and we played Donkey Konga, and watched Payback. That was about it really then she went back to her room to call it a day. She was really tired, she'd be busy all day. Well I walked her back to her building and got yet another specTACULAR kiss goodnight. They're getting a little more intense, and boy are they good. Everything this girl does just seems so perfect to me. I've been short on money lately, and it sucks. Our two month is on the 15th, Valentines day is on the 14th, and the dance I want to take her to is on the 18th. I can't ask my parents for money. It would be irrisponsible of me to have my parents give me money for me to pay for getting my girlfriend stuff. I just need to work harder. If I could pull more hours at work I might be able to better fund my financial habits. I don't think the template for the hours would let me get many if any more hours at work though. Since I've gotten my cousin and high school friends hired there the amount of hours to go around is less for everyone. It's better over all for the store though. More options on who can come in when. Hardly a problem if some one can't work, another person will gladly come in and take the hours. I think it's a pretty good system, but right now I just need the money. So it's not working well for me. If worse comes to worse I can always go through and sell a few of my less desired video games. I'm willing to do that if it means being able to treat this girl to everything she deserves and more. She might not want me to though... :P She's great.

Feeling: Ultra Happy/Turned On
Listening to: A remix of Mega Man 2 - Wily's Castle done with piano
What a great day! Woke up for MET class, which was a total waste of time. I didn't ACTUALLY fall asleep during it, which is a plus. Then went back to my room where Mandy messaged me about getting lunch. The usual. I really enjoy having lunch with her every day.^^ Always a good mid-day break. Then I went back to my room for a while where I finished creating my own dance to this one song in stepmania. It's alright, nothing special. The timing is still off, but I'll fix it soon enough. The main feeling is there, and I froze it in some key spots. All in all, I'm proud of it. Well then I had my BLAW Finite Math combo. Snore city. Seriously... Those classes really bite. BLAW is freaking hard. Insanely complicated vocabulary on top of insanely dedicated teacher equals one tough class. It IS managable though, and I'm not going to let this one beat me like Comp Pol did. That won't happen again. I'm doing really well in it, and the teacher likes me, but it's just hard as hell. Finite on the other hand is insanely easy. I get it all without any problems and going to class is just a bore. I have to fight to stay awake, the teacher is repetative, and I hardly have any homework. That class is not at all a challenge. Well after class I came back to my room. Mandy said she had some studying to do so we agreed we wouldn't hang out until she was finished. She has a Japanese test tomorrow and she's been going over the material hard core. I hope she does well. She's really devoted. ^_^ Speaking of homework, I got my take home test for BLAW. It's ONLY 165 questions... Yeah, whatever... The teacher said she was being kind and didn't give us any essay questions which is good I guess, but that's still one long ass test! I have until Monday to do it. I'll definately get started on that tomorrow. I'll get a good fourth of it done hopefully. That's my quota for the day at least. Well it was about 5:45ish and I was getting hungry for dinner, and we were all playing some halo. I needed a break from it for a while anyways. I wasn't doing so well anyhow. Getting a headache, and complaining an awful lot. That's never any fun for me, OR the people listening to me bitch. So I decided it was time to be done for a little bit. G-dub was getting hungry too and decided it was also time for dinner. So I messaged Mandy to see if she was at a breaking point in her work to invite her to join us for dinner. She said yeah, so we headed over. We grabbed our bite to eat and then all headed back over to my room for some more halo. I must've just been hungry or something, because tonight I played pretty well. Much better than this afternoon. We played with the different game types other than just slayer, and it was SUPER FUN!^^ My Kitty's getting SO much better too. No one was caring about the scores, no one was complaining, everyone was just having a good time. It was great. Mandy made it super fun too. After like every game she'd lean over and plant a kiss on my cheek and say how good I did.^^' She's so kind to me. I don't know what I did to deserve some one so fabulous. After the halo ended and everyone went their own ways, it was just me and Kitty, and Dave in the room. We just layed around and talked for a while. Mandy was rubbing the back of my head while I layed in her lap. Oh my god did it feel good. She seriously knows exactly how to push my buttons. That on top of her treating me so incredibly all throughout the evening just really did me in. It wasn't long before it was time for her to go, and with all this attention she was giving me, while walking her back to her room, I couldn't stop myself. Right in the stair well before even leaving my own building, I swung that girl around and relieved the building up desire. We kissed in that stair well for what seemed like a good 5 minutes before actually leaving. Might not have been that long, but it sure seemed like it, and it was great! Then I walked her back to her building and totally layed down another. She's oh so good at it too... She's definately talented.^^ I just feel so insanely lucky to be with her. She totally chose me and I can't help but still be feel absolutely flattered. She's such a cutie. There isn't a thing about her that doesn't just completely grab my attention and draw me in. Well anyways, I repeat myself. I go on and on about that pretty much in the same fashion in every one of my entries at one point or another. I don't mean to, but it's the most important thing on my mind. Well anyways, I then came back to my room and sat down at the computer for a while, sipped on some chocolate milk, and then crashed for the evening.

Feeling: Rested and ready to be busy
Listening to: Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
I just got back from spending the weekend with Mandy at her house. We went to welcome her parents back from their honeymoon. I really enjoy going over there, they're all so nice to me. They tease me like I'm part of the family.^^ It's just really comforting all around. I always feel very relaxed after spending time with them. Mandy's new step dad John made us pancakes yesterday for our late, LATE breakfast around 3 in the afternoon. They were really good. They had lots of pictures, souveniers, and videos to show us all from Hawaii. The stuff the bought was really cool, and the movies of their sea tour where they found whales and sea turtles was neat too, but I couldn't watch it TOO long, I started to get sea sick from it. Somewhere amidst all the mess with people unpacking and showing off new stuff, me and Mandy managed to get out to Mitsuwa and the book store. It was great. Since I got paid on Friday I had a little lump of spending money. Just enough so I could get like 6 Ramune, 3 boxes of pocky, and some Azuki ice cream without spending a complete half of my pay check. Still have plenty stashed away for when I need it.
*cough cough Valentine's Day! cough cough** I should be safe, but I always like having a good nest egg to sit on. **cough cough Dinner plans! cough cough** If I don't I feel like I'm in some sort of trouble. **cough cough Still coughing! cough cough** Everything always works out well in the end.
Well I'd have to say, without a doubt, the best part of the whole weekend was this morning. I don't know what time really, probably around 8 or 9, but Mandy came down to the couch and leaned her head on me just enough to half way wake me up. With me woken up barely enough to make any sense out of anything, she whispered "scoot over." I did so and she came to cuddle with me under the blanket. I then fell back asleep on and off being more comfortable than I had been since the last time I had napped with her in her room. It was wonderful. She said she was cold in her room, but if I recall she had a comforter, and a really nice bed, while I was just on the couch with a thin blanket. I don't know, but I wasn't cold before she came down, and I definately was MORE than comfortable after she found her way down to me. Only thing is that couch just isn't wide enough. :\ Oh well, I think we managed ok, but I think I might've heard her mom talking to her about it quietly while I was still some what sleeping. I hope she didn't get in trouble. Something about her sleeping on the couch in her pj's with a boy under a blanket... I don't know. Whatever, it's not like I'm going to get us in trouble doing something that stupid, esspecially in her house with her parents right there.
1) I'd like to think I'm more of a gentlemen than that
2) Even if I WAS to do anything, I'd be smarter than that.
and 3) I'd like to think I'm more of a gentlemen than that!
Meh. Oh well. I don't think she got in any real trouble, but the comfortable couch company probably won't occur again any time soon... -_-
