Updates and dates

Things have taken an interesting turn. Not for the better or worse, just interesting. Well, things did take a considerable turn for the worse on Saturday night/Sunday morning when I drank a liquid that contained beer, lemonade and Everclear and proceeded to get trashed out of my skull. I paid for the ride in full, puking up a solid mass of noodles at 5 am Sunday morning after tossing and turning all night long. The good news is that there was this cool girl who I kinda dug that gave me a ride home. I'm really indebted to her, because I doubt that I would have found my way back in the condition I was in.

Classes are going well so far, I really like my English 385 teacher. She is wild, and the books we are going to be reading seem really interesting. I may or may not be getting an internship with the Portland Beavers. The job sounds fun, but it's time consuming for sure and it doesn't pay anything. Even the fucking Vanguard pays some money, so I'm a little sketched out. We'll see, but I am not holding my breath. I am trying to do well in school and actually learn something, not just float on through. I've already dropped the WR 312 fiction class because writing fiction is too emotionally draining for me to take on right now. It's all about choices, taking advantage of moments. The rookie will seem a savior, if he can get home.

Back from the abyss

So its been how long without steady internet or even my own computer? Weeks man. Weeks. Spring break is in "full swing", whatever that means, most likely just a pot cloud and the last sweet drop of jamaican rum before passing out completely. Grades came back yesterday and I have to say I am pleased. Two A's and a B+, not a bad haul all things considered. Not bad at all.

I am seriously considering purchasing a laptop, but I am not sure what I want to get. Ben got a sweet deal on a Compaq from Office Depot, but the deal is over and I'm not ready to buy yet anyways. For now I use the Linux computer and suffer through.

It was a mistake...like your face!

I've been stalling, waiting till after 12 to post so I won't feel guilty if I don't write anything for tomorrow because I can say, hey, look, I did already, even if it was at one in the morning. Well now who's rambling? So interesting thing happened to me today, in between bitching at Heather about well I am not so sure what and coming home and eating dinner (both of these events were very entertaining). Oh the interesting thing, yeah okay. So I see Robin today, and it's like, we have been trying to hang out for months it seems like, okay maybe not that long but lets see...okay after a quick look (props to Mozilla Thunderbird man) it seems like it really has been months. Thats great. Anyways saw her today, she came down to the Vanguard office and talked to Dylan about getting a job writing, which she has been harping about for, well, two months. She looked quite nice and I gotta say I'm intrigued...
