Daily Update

Oh boy, let me tell you about the joy of this thing called 'speed dating'. what the
crap?! the only other time I had heard of this happening is in the movies, or at
school( except at school it was hosted by the gay/lesbo/by/and trany club, so I sure
don't know anyone who went). It was conducted by a retarded nerd! he was either a
lawyer or a computer science nerd. And they didn't set up enough chairs or tables,
so a bunch of people had to stand for part of it. Lots of people showed up.
whoever planned it took some bad advice in the procedures; but then again... I think
this whole thing was meant for the ladies. guys would just sit there and every
three minutes they would scream/kakel into the microphone for the chicks to move, so
they got to make the selection. Also what was studid, they kicked everyone out at
10 (we started at 8-8:30) so no hang out time either. And then there were the
'Couples' who had to just come to see the spectacle. Now even I referred to some
singles wards in Utah as Meat Markets, I've never been a fan of the term, or idea.
It was a whole lot of weird awkwardness. And we only had time to talk with 14
people each, which was maybe 10-20% of the opposing gendered crowd. But lucky for
me the people I liked talking to most were the people I already knew. It was like a
break for both of us, cause we already had somewhere to start. But then, to some,
I'd ask more questions n stuff. it was nice for that reason. ( I was sitting next
to Jeff and Plewe, I think Plewe was really lookin ((if you know what I mean)), and
Jeff may have been a little to serious. I didn't sit next to him to hear his
conversations, but I'm pretty sure he had a list of prep questions.) I ended up not
wearing Star Trek paraphernalia, and tried just to act normal around most people.
My answers were dull, and non revealing. (sorry. no hot steamy revalations to
admit.)

so at 10:30 we made our way over to the Jess/Kam/Jen Suite for the Bye Bye Robbie
party. it was nice, a bunch of people I didn't know. We hung out for about an
hour, then left as everyone started wanting to watch 24. I think Kamillia got
pissed when I started helping myself to her ice cream. Oh Well. the cookies ran
out to early.

Jeff said that Plewe was pretty serious about a vacation in September to Europe. So
when I got home I forwarded him a travelzoo advertisement that had fares to London
for 150 bones.

I got home and actually finished putting my dresser together around 2am. Now I just
need to find somewhere to put it, and then use it. which means intensive cleaning.
Oh boy.

8:30 came rather early.

Daily Update

And I thought it was going to be a boring weekend... Ahhh, where did I leave off.
Oh Yes Chris N' Pitts. Spectacular. 17 people showed up. Evan, Rob, Catherine,
Renee, Rick, Silvia, Ashley, Me, Christian, Autumn, Scott, Jeff, Amy, Ryan, Sara,
Kristen, and maybe someone else in there but I cant remember right now. after a
glorious 45 min. wait, the feast began. Jesse was our waiter again. He's good.
Yes Sir's, and Thank you sir's, all over the place. ryan and I made an executive
decision to change the name 'onion donuts' to 'Onion Dream Circle's'. This time
Silvia got sick, so I think Rick did something to her. she felt bad that she was
sick, cause ricky was sick last time, but we still had to give rick a hard time.
I'm gonna have to start being careful about who pays for what next time, cause I
didn't really like being stuck with a 50 dollar bill. (double what it should have
been for me).

Afterwards we went back to Jeff's place and watched Blazing Saddles. That as awsome
too. Although an 'R', it was decently tame, and still very funny. Only
racial/sexist humor, and shome 'shit's', but nothing bad.

Then I went home cause it was late. Played video games even later into the night,
and then attempted to start putting my Clothing Dresser together, but then quickly
gave up due to the lateness, and the potential difficulty.

Oh how I wanted to sleep in, but No, someone was being noisy below my window. I
soon realized that I recognized those voices and that I was supposed to be helping
them move. oops. I slowly wandered down there to help. So I don't know the whole
story, but one girl was moving in(last saturday), but no one had informed the
managment, so management said NO. uh, oh boy. so the chick had to go somewhere
else, and just left her stuff there. the management also found out that none of the
original lease signees were living there, that was also a problem, cause they wanted
the girls to sign something new RIGHT NOW or else. So they decided to move out. but
oh ya, as well if they leave they will be breaking the lease and will therefore
forfit the deposit. The girl moved from a three bedroom house into this apartment,
so she used a huge U-haul, and filled the whole thing!

I somehow got talked into playing Ward Ball. Wow, that was a shock to my system. I
don't know how much more basketball I can take. all that sprinting.

I then lounged around my place for a bit. I phoned my parents,it was a little
boring. I was invited to go to the 007 movie with Jeff, and the service auction
people, but I changed my mind. I'd already seen it twice and didn't want to burn
myself out of it, like I did with Borat. So instead I went to a Long Beach Hockey
game with a few other kids. (it didn't last long) left early.

then I went to watch a movie, but the Office was on again, so that worked instead.

Sunday:
I walk into the church bldg, and I see three people I know; Sisters: McKay, Noble,
and Ellingson. As I approached they immediatly shut up, kind of ignored me, and
acted like they had been standing there all day. (I'm used to that attitude from so
many other girls, so I 'knew' they didn't want to talk with me.) So I knew I wasn't
welcome to that conversation. But later Rachel pulled me aside and just showed me
the ring. I told her I figured it was something like that, having noticed lots of
sparkels from a certain ring finger as I approached the first time. So she is
engaged, but didn't think it was funny when I asked to whom :) I announced it to
everyone I know.

Turns out that a bunch of people don't like Paul and no one wants to tell me why. I
fear he may have done something horrible. but that goes against what I think of
him.

After church we had dinner at KA's. If was wonderful. I told evan he could onlyl
come if he didn't mention Honeymoon/marrage stuff AT ALL! so he was kind of
annoyed. the flying J's got there early to help out, and hang out, and just to
cause trouble. When I got there some people were watching a cake decorating show on
the food channel, but moments later, (after the arrival two different people who I
could easily become annoyed with, because of this fact) the station was changed. I
only knew this because there was a lot of Ohhh's and Ahhhh's, and loud laughter, and
cheering n' such. of course. football was on. I didn't care much to watch the
match, only to find out the outcome. Then the second the game was over the few
instigator guys marched over to the kitchen and starte demanding food. I had to
tell them to shove off, but then I was the bad guy for being 'mean'. oh ya, just
you wait. After eating everyone just faded out. then we finally left too.

then on the way home I remembered that I wanted to go to the bank (downtown at USC).
and if I didn't do it then, it would have to wait another 4 days. I called my
brother on the way to my car, and we talked it up for the whole way there and back,
and then some.

Then, sick of a dirty room, I started playing my favorite video games, as well as
Laundry, which I almost forgot in the machine, but then I started putting my dresser
together. Man there are lots of pieces.

I started purposfully not shaving. I'm gonna go for the grizzly adams look I guess,
but I don't know how long I'll be able to take it. Its ichie like crazy!

Speed dating tonight for FHE, I'm gonna try to impress girls with star trek trivia:)

Daily Update

Chris N' Pitts day has come. I'm so excited. I have my apron all ready. its
terrific! I think this time I'm gonna try to keep it off my face for a little
longer. I don't think I want to un-impress some(maybe one in particular) of the
attendees. (guest list withheld due to previous comment. at last count, there are
perhaps 16 on the list. I think last time we had 17 or 18. But I'm pretty sure I'm
forgetting a bunch of people who I told about this. Plewe volenteered the elders
quorm to help someone move into or out of my building. no one is really sure of
what the deal is, cause raquel just moved out, and some chick just moved in, I
thought. could this be a desperate attempt to get ou of a bad situation? oh boy.
Either way if I have to show up, I'm gonna be ultra funny :)
Last night we all went out for food before 'The Office', the Indian buffet was only
during lunches, so jeff stormed out angry. choice two after 10 min. of deciding was
a philly cheese steak bar-grille. I strongly suggested not eating bar food. There
is a difference between mediocre and hang-over food, and I would rather spend a
little bit more on mediocre food than hang-over food. so we went to some mexican
place. the Office was hilarious. that episode made me want to go and buy all
seasons of that show.
other than that, I'm planning on going to an ultra-gay store in west hollywood, and
start looking for wedding presents for Evan, (and maybe Kim Harrison- but I'll only
get something for her If I think it will make her really embarrassed, cause lets
face it, I'm never going to see her again and it will be super duper funny. Kami as
well said that she dosen't really get embarrased easlily - so I took that as a dare[
:) ].)
And I cant forget to call home again, my dad got pissed for last week. oops, I did
call. its just that i called at 10 or 11:30 their time. oh whatever. so when I
email my dad throughout the week and ask him stuff his stupid response is "lets talk
about it this weekend" No, I want an answer NOW!
I might clean my room, but then again, I also might end up fighting the battle of my
life, conquring the universe.

all my books came this last week, that I ordered few weeks back. now about that
bookshelf... plenty of reading material that I won't get to for a while. Kind of
feels like school.

Evan does nothing but plan wedding crap. I don't know if thats the wiseist thing
for him. but whatever. its his deal.

I forgot/didn't have time, but I was going to print a bunch of childhood pictures of
plewe and spread them around, cause they're so funny looking. and I was gonna have
a t-shirt made that says 'half-rack' and give it to scott. its an inside joke
between us and chris n pitts :)

I'm still trying to get over my sickness.

any good movies coming out this weekend?

then there's that one thing... but we'll see. If oppertunity permits.

Daily Update

Damage control done, problem averted. (and I've vowed never to talk about it
again.) I went to pick Jeff up from the lot, and we went furniture shopping for me.
unfortunatly I changed my mind at the checkout cause I thought it was just a little
to expensive. Then after going to three other stores I changed my mind back, so
I'll probably go tonight and purchace away. I think I'll get a bookshelf too. I'll
make sure it's the right color this time. then I stopped at Jeff's place after
visting Panda Express for dinner, to watch American Idol. Wow, what a bunch of
non-talent misfits! I can't believe that some of them actually think they have a
chance! harsh. then I went home to find my roomates, who had tivo'd am.idol, and
so I got to watch some of the highlights again. Then I decided to defend the
kingdom of Cyrodiil for a few more hours. I toured the map some more, and killed
bad guys. I then decided to put together my dresser, but after taking it out of the
box, I changed my mind. that's tonight's task. ya right, maybe on saturday or
sunday.

responses:
I've never heard of Big Chill, where is it from?
I told carrie I'd go over then, cause they/she had something until 11pm, and I kept
telling her I'd go over and then never did. It had to do with delayed christmas
gift giving.
No, no, no! get that out of your head right now! Absoloutly not her, or anyone she
lives with! (her roomate looks exactly like my mother!) but come on tlh, it dosen't
matter, so don't worry about it. (Even if you were to guess, I'd deny it.)
ya, beward radio contests! Now all those times we played water uno on the mission,
who would have thought, we were playing russian roulette as well.
don't worry about chris n' pitts, we go every month. there's always next time.

bye for now.

Daily Update

Last night was boring. My computer game was being mean to me, there was a glitch in
the game so I can't finish one of the quests. I had to call my little brother and
have him consol me. he was only able to help very little. The current tasks are
becomming more and more difficult. as I switched from my utah compter to my
computer here, it didn't all transfer the same. but oh well, man does it look good
on my beautiful 22" widescreen monitor! a bit later I decided to go running. it
wasn't my best decision ever, but it was due time. my shoes felt so terrific. the
really cold weather didn't do my lungs well. after I was done I decided I needed an
oreo mcFlurry from mcDonalds. and at that moment I started caughing, and couldn't
stop. so I went over to Jeffs'. I didn't get a chance to start operation-damage
control, that had to wait till thismorning. After that at 11:30 I went to Carrie's
place. turns out it was only her there, AWKWARD. Its one of those deals where she
just wanted to talk for a while. so I had to listen, then she mentioned that
Brandon was mad at her, so then I had to ask more. Now that I know some of both
sides of the story, the plot thickens. She gave me a long talked about christmas
gift, a glass with my name etched into it. it was nice of her. I then went home
and tried cleaning up, but then quickly gave up.
then it was overcast in the morning. and started to sprinkle.

Daily Update

work was slow. You might have been able to notice that from the lenghty update
yesterday. I've begun project 'bring music to work' we don't use the hard drives
for practically anything, so I figure hey, why not. And some of the other guys have
already done it. it will refresh my memory on what I actually own; its been many
months, if not years since, i actually went thru it all. and I bought a cd shelf
for my room to make me look trendy and cool, in case that fateful day that a girl
would want to see how messy my room is(or maybe isn't). I'm listening to the doors
right this very moment. Last night I actually didn't want to go to FHE, but one of
my hometeachee's texted me and wanted to know if I was, and at that time I wasn't
sure, so I only said maybe. but then later Ryan called and was trying to recruit
people for his movie. I then had an idea to switch movies as well. a long story
short: the few people that showed went to Freedom Writers(I dislike that hilary
swank) but Jeff showed up and it was easy to talk him into seeing Children of Men,
and Danny Koonz came with too. our show started at 8. it was not as good as I
expected. a little let down. Josh would be glad he held out a few nights earlier.
Definatly a foreign film. There was one 7-8 min sequence where the camera didn't
cut once! it was fantastic. the characters needed refining, and I honestly don't
think the script was re-read enough times, if at all.
so then to Jeff's place so I could make fun of Plewe. it turned into girl talk, and
Evan's advice hour, the 'look how I did it' episode. it got old, so I went home to
play video games then to bed. wow, I love sleeping. Its so nice. work is still
slow. Chokchai's computer crashed, and I mean bad. Hard drive went out. No good.
Then during lunch, I forgot my wallet, so I had to run home, and luckily for me one
of the girls saw me, and called. they were going to BJ's. I showed up shortly
there after. Mmmm Mmmm good. Jen was the server. I think she remembered me from
last time. Oh Boy. I was on better behavior this time, cause of who I was with :)
tonight I need to reep a little damage control from last night's discussion. Also
on the table, is cleaning my room, doing laundry, and then I told someone I'd show
up at there place between 11:30 and 12. No not for that, just cause I said I would
today when we spoke. Thats all.

Daily Update

Friday evening: Phoned jeff on the way home, as I was trying to find parking to
investigate Rick's disapearance, but couldn't so I told jeff I was going to target,
so he wanted to come. so I go over there, and then all of a sudden three other
people needed to come, so we had to wait a bit, but we got josh to drive. while in
route Rick called me finally with a confirmation of life. It had been 20 phone
calls, one house visit and one attempted office visit.we tried to meet up with he
and silvia, but it didn't work out. we had a lovely evening. I finally bought some
bedroom furnature. halaluja. then capped the night off with eating at Del Taco.
ya, that place never has been my favorite, but its most enjoyable to watch jride
down 8 tacos and 4 burritos. they had to serve him two trays, not just one. then
we went to josh's place to look for a movie. I ended up convincing them to watch a
few minutes of Team America-world police. its done with puppets by the south park
guys. its pretty vulgar(but me thinks thats whats makin it so hilarious) then the
ryan/scott duo got tired and had to retire, so we all jsut left.

Saturday morning, I wake up to realize my pancake mix is over at 1609 Veteran. so I
have to get up early to go make myself breakfast over there. but before I did that
I had to kill some mosters via the computer. it was ever so stress releaving. food
was good. it was Ryans b-day. He called everyone in his phone book to let them
know. we then saw happy feet. I must say Happy Feet wasn't as much my thing as I
thought it would be. animation was really good, story needed more. then I went
home to clean up my room, but then the TV got in the way, so nothing actually
happened. then to a baptizm. it was ok. I've lost what respect for the
missionaries there. they are NUTS! I don't think they planned any of it out before
hand. It didn't seem like anyone was in charge, and at one point I thought that
some of the hard-headed sisters were going to get up and be witnesses, or more!
plenty of more issues that can't be discussed in this venu. lots of people though.
Kami has nice(soft)legs :) afterwards we went to Tito's Taco stand. It was only
mediocre, and Evan still owes me 3.50 from that. I rode home with sara collins, we
gossiped about Evan, and his high stress personallity. then to Ryans place to watch
a movie. we saw Get Shorty. It was a little rough for some of the audience who
decided to leave, which I felt bad about, seeing that some people don't like
R-ratings and The F-words every 30 seconds. But we're still working on that. Its
really not my fault, I only brought the movies, I didn't choose which one, thats
ryans deal.

Sunday, 11 am came a bit early. I was almost late for church. Thank goodness I lay
my sunday clothes out the night before. Jason stout forgets a lot of announcement
from the pulpet. I had to shake my head twice. Dinner was at Jeff's. it was nice.
then we watched another movie, zorro the gay blade, it was great.

The un-rumor mill. so you know how stanley brown was announcing his engagement a
few weeks back. well, I was talking with 'Someone Else' at ------, who said that he
asked her out! that retard! still stalking apparently. (i saw him last week at ross
with a new land rover) he just went down more in my eyes. Oh ya, she didn't want me
saying anything bout it to anyone either, (so don't tell anyone else JB.) (and
you're the third or fourth person I've told)[tlh, go ahead and ignore this paragraph
please, thanks]

Today a friend from work got back from Thailand. He was there for three weeks. he
got married there too. he had a lot of nice pictures. thai weddings are
interesting. we gave him grief cause they'd been dating for 13 years apparently.

well, thats it for now I think. what a weekend.

p.s. chris n pitts this weekend in case chicago dosent work out.
