I was just walking back from class behind these two average girls I have never met. Girl A is obviously preoccupied with a presentation she has next and doesn't notice Girl B turn onto a different path.
-Girl A continues walking a few steps in front of me and then asks if she looks okay.
-I do not respond for obvious reasons.
-Girl A asks again in a slightly angry tone.
-I remain silent.
-Girl A asks again in a more furious tone and spins on her heel to face me.
-I reply "You look good." without missing a beat and continue walking past what is now a statue of Girl A.
-Girl A unfreezes and rushes to catch up. Her face bright pink and gibbering about how sorry she is.
-I let out a giggle and tell her to have a nice day as I take a new path towards Maytag.
Creepy? Maybe a little.
Hilarious? Most certainly.
Did I brighten someone's day? Yes.
Yeah, I'm Awesome™

2010?!?!?
I haven't posted since July. That last post, I, well, I have nothing to say about it. I served it's purpose and although I regretted it at first, now I realize it is probably the most worthwhile thing I've posted on here.
After it was made things started to change. I started looking for something, what I do not know. With a random tweet I managed to find a friend. We talked almost nonstop for a month and I hope to keep in contact with this person for the rest of my life.
Finally school resumed and I found it strange without certain people, and better without many of the Dudebros (some of them were good, others weren't). My group of nerdy friends more than doubled and our relationships strengthened. However, the six (really only five) main ones decided to study abroad and due to the amount of applicants I am unable to join them.
But you know what? I'm okay with this. Yeah, really! You see, during this last semester I began to hang out and watch crappy movies (Slugs??) with one of the cool, female, RAs. We became close and in early November she went from being a girl friend to being a girlfriend. :D :D
She came to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Met the whole family (~20 people) and you know what? They love her!
Anyway, I'm now on winter break. I'm spending it hanging out with my girlfriend and we are eagerly awaiting for school to resume and our friends not going abroad to return.
Yeah, I'm Awesome™
p.s. I got Windows 7 from Central... W00T!
p.p.s. The Internet is going slow...
p.p.p.s. I have no idea when I'll post again, but I'll try to do it more often.

I Thought.
I thought I could be happy.
I thought I could escape this place.
I thought I could just look the other way.
I thought I couldn't miss something I never had.
I thought I would be okay with it when it finally happened.
I thought wrong.
I'm going to bed.

Summer So Far
What have I done so far this summer? I'll tell ya!
The first week all I did was sleep. Seriously. Then I attempted to find a job. I applied to over twenty places, but had only two interviews. The reason I didn't get any of the jobs? They didn't want to hire a college student with brain that would be leaving at the end of the summer and only wanted high schoolers that would be more than willing to bend over and take it with out a sound.
Due to this unfortunate fact, I don't have enough money to support driving often. I've been at home doing whatever odd jobs I can convince my mom to pay me for. I convinced her to let me mow the yard instead of the neighbor kid, but I get paid half he does "because I'm her son". I managed to convince her that I could finish our patio and I am currently getting paid slave prices for that (and doing a better job than the ass-fuck that started it then ran off). I'm also supposed to get paid when I finish cleaning the basement, but that will never get done because over 40% of it is stuff from our grandpa's that she needs to look through.
For the last two months I've been at home, and that's about it. I've chilled with friends from Central twice, and a few (read: two) friends from Waukee thrice. I've only had face-to-face contact four other people that I barely consider as acquaintances. I hate almost my entire family (except my dad and my older sister, both of which I never get to see) for several reasons, and cannot wait to leave this place.
When I'm not breaking my back for pennies (it's more than that, but pennies compared to a real job) I've been reading and playing video games. I have started and finished ten novels (roughly 400 pages each), and six games with over 90% completion (missing 10% of bonuses). I have also watched three movies in theaters (the last being Bruno), and numerous ones obtained from the surf.
Though I have no way to prove it at the moment, I have also lost some weight. I started a sudo-diet after having an eerie run-in at Best Buy.
--
I was standing in the Blu-Ray DVD Releases aisle, and I reached out to get a better look at the Star Trek Decalogy and noticed two other people were doing the same. A slightly pudgy kid to my right, and a ginormous Jabba of a man to my left. I immediately withdrew my hand and backed away from the shelf taking in the situation. I was seeing what resembled myself in the past and what could very well be my future.
--
I still have some things to figure out. Since then I've been eating less, drinking less pop, and have substantially cut back on unhealthy snacks. Other than when I'm working in the back yard, I haven't really been exercising because my bike got ran over by my sister's car, and running is not for me *yet*. I say I can't prove I've lost weight yet because our scale is broken (the weight is different every time I step on it, even if there is no time between being wieghed). I've had some people tell me I look like I've lost weight but I don't really think I look any different. So I dunno.
This whole post may sound like I've had a terrible summer, but even though it was hugless, it really wasn't all bad. I read some good books, played some good games, and had some really great text-based moments with distant friends. It's July 20th, and I'm happy because I go back to Central August 24th.

State of the Blog
So I've slowed down to one blog a month, and I don't like that. I'm going ot try and do better.
Warning, this post contains alot of me complaining about stuff in my life and I stay fairly vague about the actual problems.
I've realized that I only have the urge to make a blog post when something in my life is really bugging me. This is causing most of my blog posts to become a list of complaints with myself, the people around me, or the world.
I suppose this is because in real life I'm 'the listener' (no relation to that one show) not 'the talker'. I spend my day listening to others and provide what input I can. Also, you know all those little 'huge problems' most people get? Yeah, I don't get those. Life is too short for all that bullshit, when faced with those problems I decide on a solution and fix it right then and there. The problems that I deal with are deep character and moral problems, the kind of problems that can really change a person. They just roll around in my head until one day something manages to eek into my thought process and everything grinds to a halt in my head. I become obsessed with the issue for what could be days. Usually I have to spend hours alone just mulling it over in my head, but it's best if I have someone to open up to and maybe bounce thoughts off of.
Unfortunately, I don't really open up to others about my issues because very few make me feel safe. There used to be one person that was always there, but time and space has caused us to drift apart almost to a point where we don;t know each other. There is a new person that makes me feel safe enough, but due to other issues I can't completely open up. Maybe in the future, but right now it's not happening.
I've been thinking a lot since finishing my freshman year (WOO HOO!!), and no matter what way I approach my chain of issues, it all becomes a cyclical problem. Solving any one of them requires another to be solved and provides the solution for another. *sigh* If I wasn't a 'godless abomination to our family', according to my crazy relatives, I could pray for a miracle. But I can't with all honesty and must find a soluton on my own.
Later,
D
PS: If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of commas. I started writing from an early age and locked in certian habits. Not entirely sure how well I follow the 'rules', but there haven't been many complaints.

Week in Review
Woah, long week.
Mnaday: Spent all Monday anxious about the outcome of my RA application. Class was boring, blerg.
Tuesday: Found out around 11 that I did NOT get a RA position. Apparently they only hired five new RAs because of all the old RAs coming back from studying abroad. spent the rest of the day in a crappy mood. Went to the Dating Doctor with Sarah and had fun time. Big, cold, intense. Hehe.
Wednesday: Still sort of a crappy mood. Chilled with the Nookians, chilled with the Dudebros, contemplated my room arrangement for next year. Watched It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and played Pokèmon into the wee hours of the morning because Special was working out to Sandstorm.
Thursday: Slept until 10ish, signed up for The Day of Silence, contemplated what to signup for Service Day. Watched Fight Club with Sarah and the gang until 3AMish. Chose my classes for next semester.
Friday: IOWA LEGALIZED GAY MARRIAGE! Found out I have 6-8 pages of crap to type by Monday. Missed going to a rally because someone decided to go at the last minute and asked me just minutes after I started my much needed laundry. Those of us that got left behind had a Magic School Bus mini-marathon. Oh yeah, Special had 5 people from high school over and they drank 'Sprite' and watched Descent with Russ Katz until 4:30AM.
Saturday: Fairly uneventful day, we all watched Milk (amazing) and Seven Pounds (not bad) with fresh cookies until 2ish in the morning and then we ripped on a (now) ex-friend of mine.
Sunday: Didn't get out of bed until 10:30, ate brunch with Brennan, chilled with the Nookians all afternoon. Wrote 3 papers while chillin down on Ground.
Yeah, I'm Awesome™
