Thank God for Friends
Friends, Life October 2nd. 2007, 6:42pmIt sucks feeling down. The worst part is when you start getting sick of yourself and all the whining… just like this. This is the sound of me hating myself.
Fortunately, having friends around the world helps me keep my sanity. Sometimes it bums me out that most of my friends are in Nebraska out-of-reach except by wires or wireless. But I’m thankful they’re around at all. In the last week I’ve managed to talk to a number of people (Tyler, Cora, Jenny [& Phil sorta]).
Conversing with Tyler had me laughing harder than anything other than The IT Crowd, The Big Bang Theory, or Savage Chickens (read this one). Then some drunk a**hole passed out in front of Tyler’s house while driving and his head kept blaring the horn so Tyler had to go call the police. It still kept me laughing, but it ended the conversation.
I talked with Cora for 80 minutes. This is the longest phone call I’ve had in a while. Though I managed a solid 50 minutes with Luebbe the last time we talked.
I talked with Jenny briefly during lunch today. She and Phil are both feeling a bit better, but will continue to rest as they battle their separate woes. Also, she wants you all (who know them) to visit The Bolls website and leave comments so she’ll know you’re reading it.
I IMed Erika the other day. We talked about cooking, pondered the time-dilation effects of living multiple time zones away, and conversed quite pleasantly.
I talked to both of my bros today. Jesse turned 24, and Isaac bought an iPod Classic (80GB!).
So now I’ve told you what’s going on with a lot of people. Little things like these conversations help keep me going.

Agreed, Cal. If it weren’t for friends, we’d all go insane.
I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and have been quarantined in the apartment with just painkillers, Ginger, Season 1 of The Office and the computer. Dangerous, I tell you. Dangerous. I’ll be glad to be out and about soon.

I’m glad the BBT cheered you up. I tried to follow it, but was in the middle of coaxing a youngster to stay in bed and that his night was, indeed, over. I’ll have to catch the replay online. I thought it was funnier than HIMYM, which has been just okay so far this year.

Agreed. I hope other people are enjoying TBBT as much as I am because I would be disappointed if it gets canceled. I’m still loyal to HIMYM of course but they really need to avoid the mold they’ve crafted for the plot and characters and come up with some original ideas.

A little update on the a-hole driver. I didn’t call the police because they were already 3 houses down the street. It may have been more of an accident than an a-hole drunk driver. There is a 100ft long skid mark from where the person was driving with the parking brake on though. I really don’t know what happened. Weird never the less.
