Let's see, what's happened since I last wrote . . . I have a job now, working at the IPFW bookstore, woo hoo. I'm in a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" because my friend/boss, JJ is the director and two weeks before the first performance someone (Greg) bitched out of doing one of the small parts. So JJ needed somebody to replace him, and I didn't have anything better to do, so . . . Now I have to deal with 13 hours of JJ about 5 days a week. Luckily, I don't actually see him much at work; and everyone's been pretty nice about the fact that I don't know any of my lines a week before the play opens, since I did just start. So a little stress there, and I no longer have ANY free time between work and play practice. Speaking of which I have to go. Bye :)

I've spent all day setting up my large bookcase and filling it with the boxes and boxes of books from the basement. All this in an attempt to take my mind off of my craving for a cigarette. Damn you Kenny! Sigh . . . back to work.

Kenny and I have made a secret pact to quit smoking together.

I got a job today. Well, its working at the bookstore at the University again. But still it's better than nothing, and it's not like I really need the money right now anyway. It will be useful for books though, 'cause I get a discount I think, and I'll know exactly when the books I need have come in. JJ also asked me if I want to be in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which the Shakespere folks are doing this year. It is the small part of Snout/Wall so I agreed to do it if he didn't have anyone else lined up. I think He'll let me know when I go into work on Monday. I've been looking at grad schools semi-seriously. I think I know what my first choice will be but I want to look around alot more, maybe check out some schools overseas or something.

"Let me esplain. No no, there is too much. Let me sum up . . ." once again I've neglected updating this acursed thing. On Saturday I went to a party. I saw a few of my old friends and met a couple of new people, or people that I'd met once before and have forgotten. Saw my old friend Doug, that Erin was OBSESSED with. I knew that he was gonna be there, and I had a hell of a time keeping the party from Erin, but if I'd told her, she would've invited herself along and then there would've been melodrama and I would've had to listen to it for the next week. So. . . he was there and was happily sloshed when I arrived, big hug, how ya been, where ya been, Oh my God! What were you doing on GUAM! where the hell is Guam?! etc. etc. The same questions I've been getting all week. Anyway, saw a few other friends there. It really weird when friends that you didn't think knew eachother and wouldn't like each other if they did, hook up. Really weird. Hmmm what else . . . I saw Andy again, found out that not only is he Not the tender 21 year-old that I thought he was, but he's actually 26, starting college to be an art teacher someday, and has plans to get his masters degree. Things are looking up.

Yesterday was the 4th, I was supposed to go over to Reg's for perogies and sausages, but Erin called so I went over there for a while. I planned to come back and eat with the family, but ended up not showingup at home until 1am. Everyone down at Erins bllock was setting off fireworks, the entire sky was lit up. I usually don't like foreworks that much but watching them while hanging out with friends was a surprisingly good time. With all the BBQing everyone's been doing lately my diet has been shot to hell. Sausages, hamburgers, hotdogs, oh my! I started my froofy little online classes today, soon I'll be the grillin' fool!

I'm absolutely terrible about updating these things. 'Cause it's like saturday and I had stuff to write in here on tuesday, and I still didn't remember to update. Oh well. Lets see, on tueaday I went to O'Sullivans Italian/Irish Pub, commonly known as O's. There I ran into a whole shload of old friends that I haven't seen in, well, a year. Mostly they're exactly the same as they were when I left, as boring as dirt. This guy I met at the Firefly earlier that wek asked me to go home with him, but I had a dentists appointment Wed morning at, like, 9am so I turned him down. (Go watch movies my ass!) So I went to the dentist, he pulled my tooth that's been all fuckered up and gave me a prescription for Vicoden, Mmmmm! Since then I've been feeling pretty good.

I've been so disappointed with the people I used to hang out with, since all they do is sit around and smoke pot, that I've decide to make an actual effort to get new friends. I went down to the gym that used to have rock climbing classes, only to find that they've stopped doing that for a now. I think I'm gonna do some clubs or something this year when classes start again. Now I'm rambling. Went to a concert tonight, saw The Bel Airs, this local rock-a-billy band that I've seen before and knew I'd like. It was fun, but I'm used to seeing them in the context of a small bar where there are people swing dancing everywhere, not in a fairly large local venue, with kids jumping around. Well I've rambled long enough, I'm going now.
