Plenty
Posted by on May 25th, 2003, at 7:57am

After the wedding yesterday, Tyler, Cora, Jake, Jesse, Matt, and I hung out here in the house playing Monopoly, conversing, and such things. It was fun getting to hang out with everybody outside the context of school. Being here in Lincoln and able to do things like this is nice. It was also good to see everybody else who was at the wedding, yesterday.

Matt’s almost moved in; he ran home today to get his clothes then he’ll be here for the summer. Chesnut brought some things over today, too. He’s going to be living here for a couple weeks before he goes to Zambia as one of the team-members from our university’s Navs. I’m not sure if he’s gonna start staying here tonight or not. I’m not sure if Matt will be back tonight or not. The last couple nights we’ve had four people stay here in the house ’cause they needed a place to crash. Perhaps a return to being alone?

I don’t feel alone. Or I just don’t feel lonely. Even with the silence.

Thoughts. Plenty of them, today.

Kevin’s Wedding
Posted by on May 23rd, 2003, at 1:43am

Kevin is getting married on Saturday (congrats!). Last night was the bachelor party. In movies, people always associate the bachelor party with unrivaled insanity, hordes of women, and alcohol. Fortunately, I assumed nothing of the sort for this bachelor party (nor would I have wanted it). It actually consisted of dinner at Skeeter Barns (a barbecue restaurant), massive ammounts of card playing at the hotel (Spades and Poker), donuts (mmm…), and some story telling. Fun way to spend your night.

Tonight is the rehearsal (with dinner beforehand) and another party afterwards.

Saturday is the actual wedding. I’m an usher, so I get to escort people into the room. Actually being in the wedding means I get to be there at the church for about six hours.

After the wedding, I don’t know anything about the honeymoon, but Kevin and Kim will go take up residence in Colorado Springs. * waves goodbye *

Update: The wedding was great. Ushering really isn’t that hard.

In Jenny’s Room
Posted by on May 3rd, 2003, at 10:01am

I’m in Jenny’s room, hanging out. I’d typed a few sentences, then Jenny and I engaged in a battle for the mouse (lasting a mere two seconds) and the window got closed, so now I’m starting over. La la la la la. Uh… Oh, I was saying something about missing out on all the fun. Rachael attacked Matt about something, and I heard other sorts of laughs. Apparently I need to think more before I make comments to women. They don’t want to hear that the only guy interested in them is probably a stalker. (That’s not really what I meant to say…)

Hung out at Crescent Moon yesterday. It moved to a new location. I’m sad ’cause it’s not as open and no couches and a totally different environment. There’s a nice outside area in a courtyard to sit and chill which is ok.

Anna’s surprise birthday party was today. That was fun.

Monday I’ll be mostly done and Wednesday is my Japanese final.

I’m going to meet with Wiggins next semester for discipleship. He’s quitting his current job soon to go back to Atlanta for the summer and get married and stuff. So there’s one job possibility for me.

And now I’m going to get off the laptop. I miss having internet access in my room. It’s kinda good though ’cause I actually get some real work done. Anyway, latez.

Update: Well, I’m done hanging out at Jenny’s and now I’m hanging out in a computer lab. Whee. G’night.

Back in Cora’s Room
Posted by on May 1st, 2003, at 10:41am

So I’m back in Cora’s room, this time instead of talking we’re both studying for our Music Experience final. Exciting stuff, y’know.

I don’t have internet access in my room right now, so I’m not posting as much right now and probably will slow down pretty significantly for the summer as well. I’d like to keep posting, but I’ll probably be on dialup internet at the house I’ll be living in. Slow stuff. I am living in Lincoln this summer and plan on enjoying it. Now if I only had a job yet…

Speaking of jobs, my interview/technical skills test on Monday went terribly. For more information, view this post over at PerlMonks. Oh well.

Uhm… what else do I need to say? I feel out of touch with this blog since I haven’t been posting as much. Finals week is next week. Almost done with the semester. Moved my couch and carpet into storage today and swept my floor.

Uhm…. yup. Latez.

Back from Ray’s
Posted by on April 21st, 2003, at 10:11am

Well, I had a fun day + a few hours at Ray’s house. It�s good to get away and meet some new people. He’s got a big family (8 people including parents). They’re all pretty cool. His sister Rachel is gonna come to school here next year. Now I’ve got a bit of homework to do for tomorrow. I leave you with some�

Highlights
- winning two foosball games
- Vanilla Coke
- three hour nap
- church was good
- decorating Easter Eggs
- a highway chase to catch Ray’s mom and get back his wallet ’cause she was trying to catch us and got ahead ’cause we circled the block to go back and get it

Update: Fixed embarassing typo noticed by Tracy. (Thanks :-)
