Printers

So my roommate and I have all been having difficulty with printers recently.  I ran out of ink while making copies for a project I have to do for one of my classes.  It's a pretty cool project, I get to index 45 general conference talks with my own topics.  I'm really enjoying it.  But my printer decided to run out of ink.  I went to buy some ink last week and they were out of the size I wanted.  I alway buy the ink that prints the most, just because I don't like forking money over more than I need to.  Well, on ink anyway.  I did just buy 25 VHS tapes at DI on Friday.  Yeah.  Oh well, they had some good ones.

Friends

I'm so glad that I have friends.  And I kind of feel like all of you are friends.   I know that people are reading this, I just wish I knew who.

Tonight I realized that I'm actually pretty good friends with the kids I work with.  I know I'll always have at least one person willing to give me a ride home after work, which is a good thing when it's a half hour walk home.  In the dark.  Although walking home at night is way less creepy  than walking to campus at 6 in the morning.  At night I know that someone is going to be awake to hear me scream if I get attacked.  No one is up at 6 am on a Saturday.  And at my other job I have some fairly good friends as well.  And I can still call Missionary Boy, at least for another month.  And even though I've given up on ever hearing from Falsetto again, I still write him occaisionally. And people love me.  And that's the best thing ever.  Not me loving others, although that is a very good thing too.  People love me.  My brother even told me that he loves me.  Which is a first.  I hardly know him.  And I suppose I should think of something to email back to him and try to start a relationship with him.  Better late than never.

Happiness is...

Two kinds of ice cream, finding your skate key, telling the time.

Well, life is going well.  Wow that sentence looks awkward.  School is going great, I've been completely caught up on homework every day this week.  I'm ahead on the project due in December.  I'm getting enough hours at work.  I've had something to do every weekend this semester.  Life is good.  But I can't help wonder what's in store.  I've never had life go this well.  So I've been pining for Falsetto recently, but hey.  I've dealt with that before.  I just don't know if I can deal with whatever is about to happen.  And I know some thing will happen, and soon too.  Things are just going to well.  But hey, I'll take it while I can.

The 9000 Men Rant

Let's begin with some rough figures. There are approximately 30,000 students on campus. Around 40% of them are married. For the purposes of my rant these students are all married to other students. This leaves about 18,000 single students. (30,000 - 12,000 = 18,000) Now about half of these are male. Granted many of these are pre-mission or engaged, but they are still technically single. So there are about 9000 single men on campus. And the one who has to start pursuing me is 12 years older than I am. I'm not extremely young. Younger than most my year maybe, but still. He's just really old. And he can't even remember my name. 9000 men , and I get stuck with the Creepy Old Man. He called my apartment the other day, and asked for some name other than my own. He then deleted my number because he thought he had it wrong. And then he found me sitting in the quad between classes today and asked me to homecoming. I made up some excuse about not knowing my work schedule that week. Which I don't know yet, but still. The he asked about this weekend. And I am working this weekend. A lot actually. And then, thankfully, he didn't ask me for my number again. And if by some weird creepy chance he actually is one of my readers, I'm sorry. I did not mean to lead you on (if I did) you just caught me off guard the first time.

Goals

Well, I've never been good at new years resolutions, but Semester goals are pretty good. And since reporting is the best way to ensure goals get accomplished I figured that I would post them here. I don't know if any one still reads this, but that doesn't matter.
