An old friend "reflecting" in front of a Scottish loch.

I'll be "brief" for a change...

Greek To Me
My brother just "accepted" a bid for Farmhouse. I'm not quite sure what to think. He's been pretty wishywashy about the whole thing for a while now, but it's pretty solid at this point. They guaranteed that he'd have enough time to do other stuff. I guess I'm glad I didn't get it when I tried to...I wouldn't have had time to get involved in all of the things that I did. I just need to remember that we've got different interests and goals. Oh, and Cassie's greek now too. I guess it's forcing me to reevaluate and soften a bit...which is not to say that I wasn't mostly moderate to begin with. It's just a weird situation.

Lethargy
I slept around 5 hours last night. I've been up for roughly 15 hours. I've got a couple hours of homework to do. I planned to do lots of stuff yesterday, but I've been mostly shut down since around Thursday. I missed my MUN meeting (and just received a stern "general" warning). I missed my first class of the semester (and a couple of homework assignments). I went to the game on Saturday and watched a slaughter. Saturday night, the group was pretty huge...30 people or so. It was fun, but as I was discussing with Scotty, it was at an awkward point where it was too many people to play Mafia efficiently but too few to support a "hanging out" party. We stayed up pretty late and managed to miss church again. Sunday night, people showed up and we played more Mafia. Kevin and Scotty are quite sick of the game, but most everyone else seems to enjoy it...and it's not like I actually bring it up anymore. Later, Ray and I managed to beat Kevin and D in Spades...so that was a highlight. I slept late Monday, realized I missed my radio shift and SGA meeting (if they were mandatory on Labor Day...I'm still not sure) and went to a cookout at Andy's. I planned to work last night, but didn't get much done since very little was required. However, after much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I finally got my computer in perfect working order...XP installed, more RAM, and CD drives detected.

Today, I continued a friendly exchange with Megan in Phonetics, learned that Southerners are more efficient in saying 'ai' as opposed to long 'i', and quickly typed an all-too-short paper for SpanAmCiv. I use online translators sparingly, but they sometimes help. Unfortunately, Charter has really sucked lately and gone down for large chunks of time. I had thought instability of a net connection had gone the way of the dinosaurs, but I guess I was wrong. This evening, I went to eat wings with Scotty. Dave wimped out on us again. I barely see the guy anymore, and it made me think about all of the people that I want to hang out with but don't have time to. It's rather sad really. I then proceeded to violate this little moment of reflection by not going to Navs. I really was feeling sick and tired and wanted to get work done, but the procrastination continued. Natalie's noted that she's not very motivated to do work lately. I kind of sympathize. I've got so much hanging over my head right now. I think I may drop Analog Electronics. It's quite a bit of work and there's a lot of stuff that I don't feel I have a very good grasp for at the moment. I'm slightly hesistant though because I like the teacher.

Self-referential
Man...I feel very log-like at the moment. It's as if I've completely forgotten about making any sort of reflection on life. Apparently, I just keep rambling off these long, boring entries. That sentence is cliche in itself...everyone that writes a blog or journal says it at some point. "My life is boring" or something similar...but it's not true. My life is quite interesting. I think I probably just do a sucky job of portraying it as such.

The Girl Part
In a throwback to old "girl stuff"...I currently know three girls that are the "type" of girl that I'd like to marry. And, they're utterly unavailable. It's not that they're dating anyone...it's just...I'm not the "one". They're picky, but I respect them for that. It's just a bit discouraging; I feel like I'm not good enough for the kind of girl that I'd like to marry one day. I'm not attempting to be pitiful...just realistic about the thoughts swimming in my head. Well, no use reflecting upon it much.

Conclusions
Don't know why I'm writing this particularly other than to procrastinate further. I want to go to bed. I want to wake up early. I have a bad habit of being unable to do that though. So, maybe I'll take a shower and try to get some stuff done. Buenas noches.

"I feel very log-like at the moment."

Wow, ???????, if that's your real name. That comment was the most un-Ladder Theory BS I have heard in forever. It's BETTER to become friends first? It "DISMISSES" the awkwardness and getting hurt!?!? You need a good slapping around for trying to spread nonsense like that. (Marchant: Sorry in advance for using caps for emphasis.)

isn't there almost always some amount of awkwardness if the relationship ends?

i can't imagine myself marrying the guy i'm dating. it's hard to tell this soon. but i can understand where you're coming from if you've been seeing someone for some time.

did that make sense? i hope so. i'm doped up on dayquil.

I think that it's better to become friends with someone before you "date" them. I mean it just seems like it dismisses the problems of confusion, getting hurt or making it awkward if the relationship were to end. Of course dating comes before marriage but I dont see how you can date someone that you wouldn't potentially like to marry.

My wife licked me.

haha... i was about to delete that entry because it was only blowing off steam... but since you linked to it... what the heck... i'll leave it there. lol.

There's a difference between "going on dates" and "dating"...at least in my lexicon. I would go on a date to get to know someone. I wouldn't "date" someone that I didn't know. =)

As for the sarcasm, VD...I accept advice from all my friends, and puppynapkin's in that category. I believe she has something to say to you
here.

but i don't exactly think you should pick them out for marriage before you date them. the whole dating process is to see what people are like.

Posted by pn @ 09/04/2003 11:43 AM CST


Agreed

Flame war in my comments. How lovely.

And, I really don't think you should date someone that you wouldn't consider marrying.

Advice from the Ex-girlfriend. How lovely.

dude... you're only 20 (soon to be 21)... you don't have to be married yet. don't focus on that.

Posted by puppynapkin (again) @ 09/03/2003 03:59 PM CST


try dating a girl, just a regular girl, before picking out the ones you THINK you'd like to marry. see where that leads and you might be surprised. marriage is the second to last step, dating is the first. i think you have it backwards my boy. :o)
