ผัดไทย

so katie came down on saturday
she wanted to check out the campus

i showed her around a bit
took her to most of the sights
she really seemed to take too it
perhaps i may have made a new spartan?
we'll see

what struck me, though, was when we ate
i took her over to noodles & c.
they have incredibly good pad thai.
pad thai like i haven't had since living in n/l
anyway, while we were eating
she said to me that i actually seemed happier
happier than i have been in a long time
and that it kinda surprised her
it sounds stupid, but she's right
i really do like living here, and it shows

jeheezus christ
today, after getting up at 7`30 [unheard of]
i was clocked in for 14 1/2 hours
14 1/2!
7 of that was training
the rest was working on the floor
shit my legs hurt
but, by my calculations
it comes to $108.75 for today
[almost] well worth it

epic fail

summertime? the livin' ain't easy, not for me
this summer? it blows

this is what i've managed to accomplish:
—i've beaten 18 video games [likely about 14 games, i beat some twice]
—i had no jobs [i applied for ten]
—i manage to blow in excess of $1000 this summer, a new personal best
—i've read all of two books, while i bought over two dozen
[to be fair, i read those two books within the last three weeks]
—i've gained at least 25 pounds, probly more
—i've also gotten paler [yes it is possible]

i only have two positive things i can say for summer '08:
i discovered a new composer, and i finally got san andreas
ok, three:
i'll be at state for another year
not a positive as much as an incredible mercy

i need to live somewhere where there is no summer
its unnecessary and i don't enjoy it
perhaps sweden, or maybe alaska
