Life is good

Yeah, so a lot has happened in the last few days, and I thought it was high time I let you all in on the fun. First of all, there's the obvious...Winter quarter started this week. It's definitely going to be a really tough quarter...a seemingly impossible quarter, but something I've discovered about myself is that when I have a task in front of me that seems insurmountable, that's when I usually get really determined and get the job done and get it done right. So I'm confident that I'll do well this quarter. I've actually felt inspired in the last couple of days, but I'll get back to that later.

I've been spending a lot of time with people that I haven't spent time with in a while. I've been hanging out with Homeslice and Blue Jacket a lot at the house in the evenings. It's been fun, we've done a lot of laughing and acting stupid. I had lunch with TV Dinner today, and I got to talk to my old roommate who I shall call Writer this evening and we're probably going to go do something tomorrow night. I still miss spending so much time with Roomiestar, but I know she needs to spend time with her PC. I'm sure we'll find sometime to hang out eventually, but it will be hard because we're both REALLY busy. So yeah...revisiting old frienships rocks.

Now to the meat and potatoes of this entry. In my last update I told you all about the Curly situation...well I can tell you that he still has yet to call and I had decided to give him until Friday which is tomorrow, but it's pretty much a done deal already. To be honest, it is not bothering me one bit, and I will tell you why. Tuesday evening I was sitting in the living room with Homeslice and Blue Jacket while I was on my laptop. I randomly decided to get on a Christian dating site called www.christianmingle.com. It was kinda just for kicks and giggles, but after I filled out my profile and what not, I got this IM through the website from this guy from West Chester, OH. I had already viewed his profile and selected him as a favorite. Well, the IM thing on the website wasn't working on my computer, so I IMed him on AIM because he gave his screen name on his profile. We ended up talking for about an hour about school, graduating, and also about Wild at Heart and Captivating. He said that he has read Wild at Heart a couple of times and wanted to read Captivating. I told him that I had read Captivating a couple of times and wanted to read Wild at Heart. So we talked about that for a little while, and that was good. Let me point out that he still had not seen my picture or anything at this point, so he wanted to talk to me just based on what I had said in my profile. Anyway...his AIM profile had a link to his blog in it, so I started reading it and just kept on reading...I went all the way back to July. This guy is amazing. He went to Ukraine over the summer to work with orphans and such, he went to Louisiana for Hurricane Relief, he drove over 2 hours to give roses and coffee to his now ex-girlfriend, and he tries very hard to keep his focus on God.

So yeah...I talked to him briefly earlier today and then I talked to him again tonight. I love talking to him, there are a few awkward 'silences' but for the most part we just chat. So that's what's been going on. I don't know if anything will come of this. I hope so. I would really like to meet this guy, but if nothing happens, at least it got my mind off the whole Curly situation. I still don't know what happened there.

Well, I should finally get to bed. It's almost 2 am.

God bless!
