Well, my plans to move back to auburn will have to wait.  My "company" has asked me to take a little trip to a very far-away place.  I'll save the details, but hopefully i'll have some good pics when i return.

So, I have successfully avoided watching tv for the past 6 days.  OK, maybe i watched 2 or 3 shows, but only because someone else wanted to watch them.  (that doesn't count, does it? :p)

Some very good news:  i got a job offer yesterday.  a very nice job offer.  i'm almost in disbelief.  it's not 100% mine yet, and i wont be able to start immediately, so i'm trying to keep my hopes grounded.  it's hard though.. knowing i could be making more money than my parents.  there's just something about that threshold.  "Think positively."

Maybe it's my web surfing, and the journals I read, but it seems a lot of kids have no interests at all other than music.  And a lot of them are music bigots.  I just read 44 comments on an entry about who is more 'scene' than who.  Seriously.  I don't know whether to hate these people or feel sorry for them.  They are clueless on so many levels...

I won't pretend to know what "being scene" means, but this is what I see:  people who try desperately to be unique (as a group), then hate everyone who is not like them.

Looks like that quiz went offline.  Oh well, I was the John Cusack character if anyone wants to know.

I worked Tuesday thru Friday.  Today and next week I have off.  Good schedule huh? ;)

Vanilla Sky.  I just finished watching it.  It's the kind of movie that doesnt make sense until you get to the explanation at the end, and then it's still a bit unclear.  Good movie though; definitely worth the rent.

I've decided I watch too much TV.  Not that I schedule my life around it, but I have a habit of turning it on while trying to get other things done, like getting ready for work or making something to eat, etc. and then I get sucked in.  So I'm going on a diet from TV.  I'm sure this will make me a better person somehow.

I AM A SHALLOW GUY.

i know a girl who has the best personality.  we have things in common.  i can talk to her for hours and it feels like minutes, and i am completely comfortable around her.

she wants me.  i'm not speculating; she's quite direct about it... graphic even.  and that would be fine and great and whatnot, but i'm not attracted to her.  she's not ugly-- just not especially sexy to me.  and i feel bad because i have no other excuse to give her.

on the other hand, there is a girl in auburn who i cannot stop thinking about.  Oh how i want to do scandalous things to her <G>.  *stops to daydream*

...

ahem, ok but i dont even know her that well.  i mean, i've talked to her enough to build a foundation of a dream, and in my head i've completed it.  the image is so alluring.  it's not simply that she's incredibly sexy-- great-looking girls are not hard to find in auburn-- it's that i think she's "right" for me.  i can see myself having those easy, hours-long conversations with her.   i can even imagine myself marrying her.  raising children.  growing old.

but that's a lot of imagining for someone i've known for only a month.  am i chasing something real?  or the figment of my overactive libido? :x

either way, i've made the decision to chase.  i'll be back in auburn within a month.  :)
