Hello again.

     Well, another update years since my last one. I was just using this account to post on my friends blog and I figured that I would leave some kind of note for my future self to read. It really feels like when I go over these again that they were written by a completely different person. My latest thing that I wrote on here (although for some reason just saved as a draft and didn't post, probably thinking I would come back and finish it but I should have known better since I practically forget about this blog the second I click away.) was about my now fiance, Emily. The title is what made me click on it and see what it was, "Older Lesbians Seduce Younger Females". That makes no sense and I'm sure it made perfect sense at the time...somehow. In the post we had been dating for only 5 months. It's just crazy to think that we've been dating this long and are now engaged and all.
     But yeah, looking back at these posts it feels like a time capsule of sorts. Seeing my younger self, mostly complaining about girls it seems, and seeing how I've changed over time. I think I have pretty much kept mostly the same, but of course my perspective might be a bit biased. Well here's an update for my future self since apparently he's the only one that reads this (along with about 12 french people within the past couple days for some reason...weird). Going through college still, hopefully finishing up my B.A. in math this year. Differential Equations is hell, mostly because of the teacher. He assigns ass-tons of homework, very difficult tests, and at one point even yelled at our whole class for not working up to his standards. Luckily Discrete Structures is a freaking breeze, there are times when I know that I know more than the teacher on certain subjects. Not that she's not a good teacher or anything, I think there are just some parts of the class that aren't in her wheelhouse, so to speak. But she is definitely knowledgeable with the computer science related things. Mathematical Computing, show up to class and get an A, pretty nice. His french accent is a bit hard to interpret sometimes and when he says
"conquer" it comes out as "con-queer", but good guy and the whole programming thing this is indeed interesting. And finally, Modern Algebra. It's like the hardcore proofs class I took last semester, only more of an intro level. Really wish they would have switched those classes around but that's what I get for being a guinea pig for a major that doesn't exist yet.
     Overall I can't really complain about life. Emily has been a bit depressed lately, hating her job and wanting to move out, but I try my best to console her and show her that I love her. Hopefully in the next couple years when I read this again we shall be moved out, but who knows. It's interesting to wonder what I will be like when I read this again years down the line. Hey, remember that spring break that you decided to jog every day and practice the accordion? Are you master of the accordion yet? Or is it just collecting dust now? I wonder if that makes you feel guilty. Oh well. Let's go ahead and end with something for the frenchies.

I should make a graph

So of course it's another blog about relationships. I've been through alot of them it seems. Loki, Lacey, Jami, Melinda, Natalie, Jenae, and now Kelci makes 7. Some people would say that is alot and I can't really say that it's not. Nobody can say that I haven't had enough experience I guess. I love girls and I have fun in my relationships, I only really had one relationship that ended up pretty badly but other than that they have all been good.

Another break up just seems to be the norm for me, but I've gotten use to it. I'm not horribly depressed, sure I am a little, but obviously past experience tells me there's more fish in the sea. I know nobody reads these things except maybe like one or two, Kelci included. If your reading this, I had fun and I'm not angry and I'm a little bit depressed but I'll keep on going. It always seems like I'm the starter guy. I'm the first boyfriend, the first kiss, the first something, then we go our seperate ways. The way I see it, I just hope all my previous girlfriends can at least take something from our time together. Learn to love, learn to not be afraid and follow your heart as cheesy as it sounds.

What Kelci did was admirable, she didn't want to hurt me but it was the right thing to do given the situation. I would feel terrible if I knew that she was staying in the relationship just because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. What ever the reason is she decided to end it, maybe she really did just think we'd be better as friends or maybe it was something more, she at least did it without dragging it out to long. Never be afraid to tell people how you truly feel. I did care for her, I thought we would have lasted longer, but that's life. I'm not happy we broke up but I know how to deal with break ups and that's just knowing that life goes on. I can just hope that she is dealing with it well.

My relationships seem to have been generally trending downward in length latelly.
Loki: 2 years
Lacey: 9 months
Jami: 9 months
Melinda: 1 month
Natalie: about 6 months
Jenae: 2 days (As official boyfriend/girlfriend, not just "friends that cuddle")
Kelci: 6 days

but hey, maybe Kelci is the start of my upward slope back to longer relationships. I know there's someone out there for me. I'm a nice guy, I'm a romantic guy (I may not show it, especially in early stages of relationships but I am) I'm a supportive person and overall likeable, and of course optimistic.

My princess in the camo jacket

It was a dance all the way off in woodland. A mormon dance at a church. I always went to the dances every chance that I could and it was especially exciting it was someplace I had never been and I got to drive there and everything. The drive there was fun. Kim and Josh were there in the back seat. Strange to think that Josh is all off in Alabama spreading the word. But in my memory he is there playing gay chicken with tall chicken legged sam in the back of what is known as the pimp mobile. Strange to think i had that car back then. The funny thing is how sam got back there, not trusting kim and josh alone so he ripped the door open and shot out across their laps. But that's beyond the point I started writing.

There was a girl. There always seems to be some girl of some kind in these blogs that no one reads. I just use them as a memory holder, like a catalog of my brain. Boy how I love this memory. But boy how I feel sad when i remember it, but that's beside the point. Her name was Amanda, or so I remember it to be. I barely remember much about her, just the bigger and little of it all. She was a girl obviously. She was attractive. She wore a princess dress which she had borrowed from a friend. Like me she just went to the dance for the fun of it and wasn't connected to the church at all. I broke up with my girlfriend a week ago. She broke up with her boyfriend a week ago. But that's beyond the point.

I don't know how it all started, nor why I let the night end how it did. But I did as I did and that's all that I did. Someway or another we hit it off. We had fun. We danced. There was a swing dance contest going on. We joined in yet we didn't have a clue what we were doing. We laughed. We smiled. We danced.All through out the night we stuck together, we had fun. She almost won the costume contest for the night. Or she did, I can't remember. There was a hula hoop contest and I played along. I didn't know how yet I did anyway. But that's beyond the point.

We danced and we danced some more after that. It wasn't till at least the middle of it all that I noticed her hand. We were dancing and she showed me that one of her hands only had 3 fingers. I don't remember which. But that's beyond the point.

I joked that we chatted and I asked basic stuff. It came to "Do you play an instrument?" I had asked and she said no, pointing out the state of her hand. I joked she could play my trumpet but she smiled and turned down such an offer. I felt something growing inside me. We danced and danced some more. At one point during a dance she looked at me. We held each other, us strangers who knew each other for a night. She looked to me and said "I think I'm falling in love with you..."

And to this day I regret losing her. I regret having her only now as a memory. My princess in a camo jacket who wasn't perfect, but has become perfect in my memory. Hers was the purest of love, the spark of the moment that meant everything. That night is a gem to me, one which I shall never be able to find again...

almost there

Damn I am bored to death right now...It's not like I don't have anything to do but rather I don't feel like doing anything. I can't wait till school starts amazingly, yay music classes and tutoring! I'm gonna make min. wage and work like part time but to me that's still a good chunk of money to be making lol most likely to be spent on fast food and video games. I feel kind of bad for Joel with his job. He's been pouring hours upon hours along with more than a hundred dollars for a background check and all the tests he's got to take cost money too, but he hasn't made in money yet. Him and Melinda keep begging me to join their insurance job thing, but what he's going through just shows exactly why I don't want to do it. With my cutco job and what not that sucked enough dealing with my boss and not making sales. But the funny thing, he keeps telling me that you can make sooooooooo much more money in Primerica than Cutco, but I made more in my 2 weeks than he's made in his entire 2 months of Primerica. But he's actually applied himself quite a bit and that's good so it's not all bad.

But I can't wait till school starts for a couple reasons. 1: It gives me something to do during the day and gives me some kind of structure. 2: I can start making money with my tutoring job. But probably what I'm most excited about 3: Girls. I'm tired of sitting around with Melinda and Joel as they get all cuddly on the couch. Not to mention my friend Katie who a mere week or 2 ago said she thought she would never date another guy again is suddenly raving mad about her new boyfriend. Raving mad as in her last 20 posts on facebook are about her freaking out that she hasn't talked to him for an aggonizing 1 hour. All the girls I've attempted at dating this summer have either broke up with me (in the case of Jenae) or rejected me outright. Girls are fun, I have to admit, and I miss that. I want a quality relationship, someone I can talk to is the most important part...And now I'm thinking about how I always just complain in these posts. Maybe that's why people don't really read this...Oh well.

DIFFERENT TOPIC! So I got Scribblenauts today, along with the free rooster hat because I preordered it. So far it is alot harder than I thought it would be. You think being able to type in any object you can think of would make any possible puzzle mind numbingly easy, but that's not the case. I make myself do the challenge level where you replay the same level 3 times only you can't type in any objects you used already. It is HARD. I could spend like an hour on a single level, and this is suppose to be a KIDS game. I think games that look like they are for kids now adays are deceptively frustrating. Sure makes you feel stupid when a game designed for kids outsmarts you.

I'M READING A BOOK! AN ACTUAL BOOK! Wow it's been a long time since I've read an actual book book. I use to read all the time but like alot of things I just stopped doing it one day without thinking about it. But now I'm making a journey through a 1070 page book, and boy is it gonna be a long one. I read around 40 pages every other day lol I'll be amazed if I can have it finished by next month. Plus with school starting next week I have no clue if I'll even read 40 pages a week. But if I finish it I shall be totally proud. It's called Atlas Shrugged by Any Rand. Apparently it's like one of the greatest books ever written and people are crazy about it...I mostly got it because it inspired the videogame Bioshock. But so far I am liking it. I'm at like...140 or 180 pages in. The first 90 pages were really kind of boring to tell the truth, all about the drama that a railroad company is having. But when it actually started to delve into the characters is what sucked me in. Her characters are no where near flat and each of them has their own backstory that defines who they are and gives them a meaning. I'm shit at explaining plot and characters so I'm not even going to attempt, but it can be addicting at times which in my opinion is good. When you start reading and you look up after a couple chapters and notice it's been 2 hours and you still want to read, that's a good book.

Don't ya hate it when you read something but for some reason you start thinking of something but your still reading without paying attention? That's so fucking frustrating. I'm all into the book, something catches my minds attention, I think about it but keep reading, and get completely lost. So then I gotta figure out where the heck I lost track and reread the same part over again. Blarg.

...I need a way to end these, I always just kinda leave it hanging.

nice guys finish last

Is it possible to be too nice? I think I have to say I am at times...I try accomodate for everyone, I want everyone to feel good, to feel respected, to feel cared for and generally feel good. But is that even relatively possible? Sometimes I feel I need to stand up but then that gets people annoyed at me or something and I just can't bring myself to do that. Sometimes I feel like being selfish and just doing what I want and saying to hell with everyone elses feelings but I can't because I think too much of others. Is it really right for me to care about everyone around me rather than myself? Everything is about how other people feel and rarely do I do the things that I would want over other peoples. I'm a nice guy and I try my best to be a nice guy, I pride myself on being polite, gentlemanly, caring and sacraficing. But I think sometimes I may do that TOO much. ARG! I barely even know what I'm complaining about but I feel it's a legitament complaint somehow...Advice anyone? If you can understand what the heck I'm saying

as apposed to an oink cow?

WOOT! New look for the new life of my blog! I guess I'll go ahead and make a bit of an update. (And I'll use paragraphs for once)

So I went to the Renaissance fair on Saturday and it was loads of fun. It was Anna, Andee, Sam, Anna's Mom, and I riding up in the big ol' red monster truck which surprisingly had plenty of leg room. OH! I should explain the cow (yeah, I'm probably not gonna edit this so expect jumps lol) So Andee, Sam and I were driving along and for some odd reason we were talking about cows and Andee said "It's a moo cow" and I said "Is there any other kind of cow?..." and eventually we degraded into arguing and finally she's like "IT'S A FUCKING MOO COW!" And oddly I imagined a moo cow...fucking. So of course from there the conversation moved onto cows raping me...

The moo cow conversation pretty much was a precursor to the conversation that happened in the truck up to the festival. We were just loud and crazy and I was amazed Anna's mom didn't want to kick us out right on the spot. There was a huge mixture of conversations going on so I kind of can't remember off the top of my head what we talked about, but it was pretty special.

The females were all dressed up for the fair. Andee had this very elaborate and fancy shirt with a corset looking kind of vest going on along with a long skirt, Anna had a simple maroon colored dress that Andee hand made for her, and Anna's mom kind of seemed like a hippie but it worked in the end with a green top and long skirt. Sadly Sam and I were not dressed for the fair but we did have fedoras...which makes us awesome.

Part of the fun of people being dressed up is going into restaurants and getting very odd looks. We walked into McDonald's to get some breakfast (it was about 8:30 in the morning at the time) and all the girls in their fancy dresses ordered food and such and the old guys there were kind of checking them out. But we got our food and went on our way.

As we walked to the two lines that were formed at the gates a lady comes over randomly and whispers something in my ear about a zipper. I was really confused and asked her to repeat what she said and she said "Your zipper is undone." So I kind of think about it while I'm walking to the back of the line when it finally hits me...my zipper on the front of my pants was undone. I was all morning, went to McDonald's, and sat in the car for hours without noticing my underwear was on display to all. I'm that awesome.

The first thing that we notice when we made our way into the festival (with all our zippers properly zipped I might add) we notice a blue cat fairy kind of girl who communicated by purring. Everyone that passed by she gave them a tiny colorful pebble without anybody really knowing what it was. Was it a fish pebble?...a piece of candy?........drugs?..........Sam actually tried eating his and we still weren't sure.

Off to the booths we went. There were a lot of clothes of course and Andee was desperately trying to dress Sam and I up because we looked totally out of place but that would involve spending money and I was kind of reluctant since I was trying to save mine. Eventually though Sam got a peasants shirt and a robin hood looking hat. (which we later found out actually has a fancy Velcro pocket INSIDE the hat! GENIUS!)I got some goggles though which I put on Andee's fedora and everyone thought it looked pretty cool so now I gotta buy a fedora of my own lol I've been meaning to but now there's more of an incentive.

There was alot going on that day since it was the last day but we only caught one show which was a cool horse show. But before the horse show was the opening entertainment. There were these two girls (one dressed as a peasant and the other as a jester) and they were insulting people with Shakespearean quotes for a dollar and for 2 dollars you could even get insulted in a verse. Anna's mom was the first customer and I was the first victim. I didn't quite catch it all but apparently I am so dense that light bends AROUND me. I then thought it would be fun to pay them to insult a random person I didn't know and payed them to insult a girl that was sitting right infront of me and she just kind of looked back at me and glared lol good times.

The show it self was pretty awesome, guys doing backflips from one horse to another while going in a circle, standing ontop of each others shoulders while on a horse while going in a circle, juggling 5 sticks while on a horse going in a circle, and lots of crazy things not normally done while riding a horse in a cricle.

In the end Andee ended up buying some daggers (everyone was terrified the way home) and everybody ended up with more stuff and less money than when they entered. So that was my day in a little bit bigger than a nut shell.
