'cause girls are only allowed in the guy's lobby until 1:30 on friday nights . . and mind you . . we started this movie at, like, 1 . . so that's why we were out on the field . . but back to the bad part . . it was FRICKIN' FREEZING!! . . we were all ice cubes . . they suffered through the cold all for me :) . . how nice of them . . so anyway, that was my week pretty much . . oh, yeah, i got my car back today . . the passenger side window actually works now!!! and i have dash lights!! . . isn't that exciting? . . anyway . . i'm done now . . until next time . . . 10.28.01 (sunday) 12:42 pmi really should really try to write more often . . especially since things seem to change so fast . . so . . lets see the last time i wrote was, what, two weeks ago . . well, hmmm . . oh yes . . i suppose i have mentioned joseph before . . and to make a long story (or a short story) short . . he and i are "together" now . . as of wednesday . .yeah . . i've had an interesting two weeks . . last weekend i went to homecoming with dax . . we didn't actually go to a dance . . because he was broke . . he just decided that it would be fun to embarrass me in public . . but it was fun . . don't get me wrong . . i mean, who wouldn't want to spend an evening in food-4-less, or borders (that's a bookstore)? . . however, i came to find out that it was all an accident . . only because joseph told me . . ya see . . dax supposedly asked me over icq . . out of nowhere . . turns out there's a reason for that . . namely . . it wasn't him who asked . . it was the Q2 ra, nathan . . and i feel kind of dumb now that i know the truth . . but i'm not sure why . . joseph was kind of upset when he found out . . but then dax told him the truth and he was okay with it . . but i wasn't told about this until this last friday . . and i was sworn to secrecy . . ya know what i learned? . . never believe that when i'm talking to dax on icq that he's alone! . . another example . . last week . . or the week before . . dax asked me what i thought of joseph . . now, it occurred to me that maybe joseph was standing there . . but i didn't contemplate that for too long . . the following is part of the conversation that we had: Daximus: well answer me this first
etc, etc . . .
so anyway . . that was like not last week . . but the week before that . . this last week . . was absolutely great . . let me tell you . . i was very sleep deprived, though . . slept through a class for the first time . . oh well . . it was worth it . . on monday night i stayed up talking to joseph until, like, 3 in the morning . . and then didn't get up until 8:50 the next day . . we decided we needed to be more responsible . . but that just hasn't worked . . . we went and got our own pool cues on tuesday . . long story (yeah, we're both pool sharks) . . but we didn't get to try 'em out until wednesday . . that's when he asked me to be his girlfriend . . apparently it had been weighing on his mind for the previous few days . . hey, i was glad he brought it up 'cause i wouldn't have said anything . . so, since then . . all of our friends have been disgusted with us . . it's funny . . we get so much harrassment . . on friday we played pool for a little bit and then went to blockbuster . . a frightening experience . . and rented gladiator on dvd . . went out to dt field and watched it until the battery on joe's laptop ran out . . then we talked for a couple of hours . . we were out until 4:30 . . and it was freakin' cold . . let me tell you . . then last night dax and a couple of his friends, tobey and one of his friends, john and some friends of his, and then joe and i, went to see shrek . . that was a freakin' hilarious movie! especially where the bird explodes . . it was so random . . that i couldn't stop laughing . . okay, well, that has been the extent of the last two weeks pretty much . . not much else to say . . besides . . YAY FOR ME!
