I got this from my mom and just thought it was funny so here it is for ya'll

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the
chips and dip coming.
--Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they Grow up who they're going to marry.
God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're
stuck with.
--Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
--Camille, age 10

No age is good to get married at. You Got to be a fool to get
married.
--Freddie, age 6

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on Whether they seem to be yelling at the
same kids.
--Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any more kids.
--Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each
other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
--Lynnette, age 8

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets
them interested enough to go for a second date.
--Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers
and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
--Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich. --Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with
that.
--Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them
and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
--Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never
going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
--Theodore, age 8

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them.
--Anita, age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?

Edit [09/29/2003 01:07:49 PM]:
Actually I want to add a few things. These are from Friday night with Peter and the wkd guys... Group picture & video. I'm going to try and get more pictures up but my digital camera is broken at the moment. Dana please bring your video camera with you!

Who the hell is hitting me from classicnet.net damnit! Anwyays tonight was good :) We had some greetk metting and then went to this place called Sparty's and i had a few drinks. and i saw this blonde girl who was cute so Guy (ya that is his name you pronounec it Gi with a strong G) knew her and he is going to introduce me to her! Um then we came back ehre and everyone was in victors room hanging out lik e 20 people. and john came and said he was talking to some girls that thought i was hot and said they were cute! i dont know why girls just dont come up and talk to me cause im a nice guy and i like it better that way. i am probably never going to just walk up to them and start a conversation, i like girls that are aggressive, but there are very few that are. we got to find those girls again though! we had a lot tell ive fo fun tonight. as you can had a few, but definately not enough! Tomorrow is our first football intramural game but i cant play until my forgiveness policy form goes through. For some reason i am really missing dana right now. yesterday she had a date though and today she didnt talk to me. anyways im going tro bed cause i have class tomorrorw at 3. i <3 pi kappa phi!

This one is for Tawny! She called and we talked for half an hour tonight... finally! :) Anyways just have to add a few quotes in here. I forgot what the first one was actually, but the second one was that "Denise is about as pretty as a vultures scrodum". hahaha. I would feel so bad if she ever read this! Everything else that happened today... well that's just to bad cause I'm not telling you! Well maybe, but later... I'm ready for bed right now. Night!

This weekend was okay. Saturday I hit golf balls with my dad, I was hitting pretty good so we decided to play 18 on Sunday. Later that day I went back to FIU and tailgated for a while. All the pi kapp's painted ourselves blue! It was cool. I lost my voice at the game, but we ended up winning a trophy for having the most spirit, so it was worth it. The president of FIU came and sat with us and we had to suck up to him so we get money and other stuff. I got to meet him and he stood right next to me during the game for a while.

Sunday I went golfing and I started off as usual. I wasn't hitting good drives though - they were really bad. On the 4th hole I hit a bad drive and my 2nd shot I was using my 3 iron. It completely shattered when I hit the ball. The head went flying to the left, a piece of the shaft went straight up in the air, the ball kind of stumbled 20 yards or so, and I was left holding the grip and the rest of the shaft. I've never seen anything like that before, I mean... it is pure metal. I guess it was bad luck because afterwards I completely sucked. I stopped playing at about the 11th hole because I was doing so bad. After that I came back here and was late to the first pi kapp meeting because they changed the time during the day and I didn't know. It was cool with Tony though, he is our warden. We went over etiquette and how to be a gentlemen and then went to the first softball game. We were playing FIJI and kicked their ass so bad. The score was like 20-0! Angela was there and I sat with her. She is awesome! I want her to be my big sister, if I ever get initiated that is...

Today I went to class. I really need to get on top of my discrete math stuff. The teacher is moving at a really fast pace. My calculus class went well today. Recently he has been super boring and I feel like going to sleep but I am getting what he is saying now. Before he wasn't getting the stuff online so I had to take notes. It was hard to understand what he was talking about before because you're too busy copying notes, but now he's getting it up so I can sit back and just take everything in and think about it while he's teaching. I love it that way. I actually get it.

We had another Pi Kapp meeting tonight. Our meetings are Sunday and Monday nights so I will be missing A LOT of football. I got to see the end of the dolphins game last night though, and the defense looked HOT. Once the offense picks it up a notch they are definitely going to win the super bowl. Anyways we elected our president and all the other positions tonight. The big thing our class has to do is throw a party, which is going to be on Halloween night! That is a Friday too, which is going to help out a lot! I think the biggest party so far has been 600 people or so??? We are aiming for 1000! We are the biggest pledge class so I think we can do it. Our party is going to be awesome!

Its late right now and I have to write a 5 page paper for my 8:00 class tomorrow! Oh you know that girl Denise, I keep bumping into her! ARRG! She is so boring! I just have bad luck I guess. This week Thursday all the guys are getting dressed up and going around to meet the sororities... so that should be fun! Saturday we are going on a retreat all day and wont be back until Sunday. My sister and dad are coming back this weekend too so I won't get to see them as much as I would like.

I have been really lonely lately. I can't wait for Dana to get here! Less than 2 weeks now... She got my card today and liked it I think. I am so excited, I have all this stuff planned out that I want to do with her. I know we are going to have a great time together.

I feel a really big pimple forming on my cheek its disgusting and its bothering me! I'm going to hop in the shower real quick and get my HW done! Oh Randy good call on the Theta class chant tonight during your speech... ROFL!

Wow today is the 20th already... time is flying so fast these days. Last night I played xbox and had a few drinks with some of the guys over at Tali's place. Got home late, went to class, slept. Tonight I picked up my dad and then went back to help the brothers build our cave for tomorrows game. It is coming out really nice. Tomorrow we're going to finish it up, no one else had started building stuff yet so I think we got a good jump and will win, because there is going to be people voting on who has the coolest thing. I forgot what they are calling the whole thing... but all the fraternities and sororities will be building stuff. My fingers are all bloody from cutting chicken wire. Oh when I was there I saw Denise's sister come up, and she goes you are Rush right? Her sister is really hot! I was like yea... then I hear behind me Denise so I was like oh great. Cause she called me the other day and I never called her back. She tried talking to me but I was like whatever, her sister had to drag her away from me, thank god for sisters! lol. Rob was like... damn she wants you so bad hahahaha. She was making it pretty obvious I guess. Whatever hopefully that was the last time I will have to see her again. Tomorrow I am going to hit some golf balls with my dad and then tailgate before the first home football game. Hopefully I can still get a ticket! Can you believe they actually sold out? They even had to put in more seats... For the tailgate party we are all painting ourselves BLUE! So that should be a good time. Sunday I might play 18 holes with my dad. I really need this weekend to study and do homework and work on my side projects because people are going to start getting on me about it this week if I don't show them anything...so I will have to do that tomorrow night and Sunday night. And just work really hard on Monday and Tuesday. My math classes need the most work but I have big papers due in my other two classes so it will be a struggle. I can do it though! I better be getting to bed now if I want to do all these things this weekend... Just so everyone knows I fixed my mail server. The host for my web server changed ISP's today so my website has been down most of today, first because of the change, and then I updated my DNS and had it pointing to the wrong IP so the other half day of downtime was due to that. I just fixed it though, and you are reading this obviously so it is back up. Im out!

Pi Kapps RULE!

Counting Crows - Colorblind

I haven't written in a few days so I thought I'd share :) Sunday was cool, I forgot what I did during the day but at night was the bon fire. I decided to take Denise with me just for the hell of it. The fire was cool but I couldn't drink cause I was driving and I had her with me. I would have though if she wasn't there so bringing her was a mistake. Plus she doesn't have anything to say at all. I wasn't going to call her again after that but Monday she called me between her classes to hang out so I did. It was a waste though because she never says anything. I have to carry the whole conversation and its so boring. She's not even pretty so whatever. I bumped into tawny Monday when I was hanging out with Denise and even she was cracking on her... lol. She's no where near my caliber of women so I guess that's that. Tonight I was scheduled to run 3 miles but I ran 2 and counted football practice as 1, so I'm covered for today. Football practice was super long... from like 7-10:30. My legs don't feel that bad now. But when I was running I felt sluggish because I missed a run on Sunday and I've had a lot of rest days. Thursday I'm scheduled for 16 - that is going to be a killer. I had a quiz today in history class which I did well on. We have a paper to write for it now so I have to get that started. Plus I need to study for my math class tonight, we have a quiz every wed.

Oh I got my mail server working again so you can send me mail at rush@rushonerok.com again. And for those of you who don't know my birthday it is November 8th! Just thought I'd throw that in there. Yesterday I talked to Danielle online and she seemed really happy and eager to visit. Today I wrote her the most awesome card ever and sent it so it should be there next week sometime. So I was feeling pretty good until tonight when I talked to her. She came home & took a shower real quick and then all of a sudden was just like... bye. It was weird. There must have been a guy coming over that she liked, how messed up is that? She could have at least played it off and said she was super tired from work and had to do homework or sleep or something. Maybe women think men are dumb? If I had a girl come over I wouldn't be like, 'my friend is here bye'. It seems like every day is a roller coaster ride with her. I was talking with Shelly today and I showed her what I had wrote in the card. She thought it was the sweetest thing, but then said if that was how i really felt that I should brace myself. I didn't get why she said that so I asked her why, and she said it was because I'm going to end up getting hurt. Before I put the card in the mail I was thinking about that and if I should send it or not... but I went ahead and did it. Now I am thinking it was a mistake. I shouldn't be getting so close, or causing her to want to be close, otherwise I will set myself up to be hurt. I really wouldn't be able to take it. I can't be hurt again like that again... It's ironic because I sent that card, and she knows how I feel, so I just have to trust that she won't hurt me... and trust is something that would bring you closer to someone. Oh well whatever, I don't even feel like thinking about it any more right now, its a waste of time. I think I'll get up early to study because I just want to go to bed right now. The damn vending machine stole my dollar! I'm going back to bust it open, I want my snickers! Then I'll go to bed.

Um nothing much for today. Football practice and then some pi kapp stuff. we went out to eat afterwards at sisco's which was cool. tali mike & i and andres had our own table cause we got there late so we had a diff waitress. she loved us lol. we got free deserts and all the hooks up hahaah brian! there are definitely some advantages here ;) awesome! we got some guys and drank all night and played xbox. the best was the "expedition" car @ taco bell rofl. anyways 6am I gotta sleep damnit. tomorrow I have a lot of reading to do. tomorrow night we are having a bon fire in the everglades, gonna be sweet. ive heard some really good stories about bon fire night! :D why no one leave comments? damnit! oh my email is broke so if anyone has tried to send me mail at rush@rushonerok.com in the past  few days I haven't received it. ill let Danny know and he'll fix it tomorrow.

Today was good. I slept in and then went to math class. I didn't get to do any reading so this weekend will be a big reading weekend. I bought a new pair of dress shoes because I had left mine in storage and it was closed. I think I will return them tomorrow because why do I need 2 pairs of dress shoes? Tonight was Southern Gentlemen's Night. At first it was weird because I saw all these people and I didn't recognize half of them, but then I found Mike and we hung out. I met another guy who got a pre-bid also, his name is Jake. There was only 7 guys who got a pre-bid. Mike and I talked for a while and after the announcements stuff we went to get drinks. That was when these 2 girls came up to us and wanted to dance. We didn't even make it to the dance floor... they wanted to go at it right there HA-HA. The girl I was dancing with is really nice, her name is Denise. We ended up talking for a couple hours. She taught me a little dance move... Slowly but surely I am learning! ;)

When I was walking back I saw Jake again and we decided to go to the beach but it didn't work out cause there wasn't enough people. Tomorrow night or sometime this week we are going to try it again though. So when I got home I tried installing the Steam software and CS 1.6 but it is a total piece of shit. I'm never going to get to play again at this rate, which is a good thing, but you have to indulge yourself once in a while, ya know? I'd rather not talk about anything that happened after that tonight. Let's just say I'm not in a good mood after what happened. Goodnight.

Alright Vanessa isn't answering my IM's any more and I'm getting bored. 1 word to describe how I feel right now: EXHAUSTED!!!!! Every part of my body is in pain! I ran 10 miles and went to Pi Kapp Fight Night. My run today was good. Recently there is a part of my legs that has been bothering me. I don't know the name of the muscle but if you move your finger just outside your shin you can feel it... at least I can, but I have monstrous legs so maybe that's why. It hurts so much when I first start running but then loosens up. I think it is because I have been starting off to fast & running on my toes. Anyways after 5 miles I took a rest. I didn't think I could make it another 5 but I slowed my pace down and did it! I can't believe some of the people today, one guy yelled that I was running slow or something, what an ass. If I knew these people they would definitely get a beat down. Actually a lot of people saw me running today which was surprising because I ran late, from 6-8. But that is kind of a long time. I saw Mauricio, Swenson, and Angela said she saw me too.

Speaking of Angela she is so awesome! We've been friends since middle school and she's always been a good friend. Last year I was kind of in a slump and she tried getting me into the whole frat & sorority deal but I wasn't comfortable with it. Now it is great though. I see her at all the events cause her bf is a Pi Kapp. I love giving her hugs LOL. She is just so squeezable!

Okay so Fight Night went well. It was a Tarik's house. I remember him from a LONG time ago cause he used to go to Riverside. He is an RA on the 6th floor too so I see him all the time here. I didn't box because I was so tired but I played pool. Mike was there, he is really cool. Most of the time he hangs out with Tali but he wasn't there tonight so Mike and I hung out most of the time. He got a pre-bid also. So did Tali. And there is another Mike who also has a pre-bid. We all are playing football this semester and that's where we all first met. They are all super cool guys. My pledge class is going to rock! I saw Laura again tonight but that guy Kevin wouldn't leave her, I think he likes her... I didn't talk to her much cause I didn't want to give him any reason not to like me. I did however talk to Domsie for a while. I think she has a great smile even with braces. We don't clique at all though...  I very rarely connect or feel comfortable with women so I doubt I will ever meet anyone. I've only felt comfortable with two women, and one of them I can't stand now. Overall the night was great. Tomorrow is "Southern Gentlemen's Night." We're all dressing up in suits, I have no idea what we are going to do but that's cool. There is always girls at the parties so we'll end up dancing for sure.. and it will probably be a more serious atmosphere where the guys get to know the rusher's better. I'm glad I don't have to worry about competing with all these other guys.

Across the hall is Victor, he's a Pi Kapp.. there is a HUGE COCK in his room. LOL it's not what you think... it's a rooster. Pretty funny though. He is a cool guy. His roommate is rushing and is cool too. I'm glad I moved on campus and am getting involved in something. Commuting to school all those years I didn't get to meet anyone and it was boring.

I've developed the biggest headache in the past hour. It's a good thing I got a bottle of Excedrin the other weekend but it hasn't kicked in yet. It's probably because I am so dehydrated. I'm going to get some Gatorade and head to bed.

Love is patient; love is kind.
Love is not envious or boastful
or arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way:
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice in wrong doing,
but rejoices in truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things
And now faith, hope, and love abide,
and the greatest of these is love.

I have 3 hours between classes now so hopefully that will be enough time to remember what I wrote last night. I'm still mad I clicked that button!

Yesterday was pretty darn good. After my math class in GC I went downstairs to say whats up to all of the guys. That was when I received my first shirt! When I got back home I decided to run a few errands. First thing was to get my parking decal, it's only taken me 3 years to get around to! So I did that and then went to the bookstore. I picked up the course pack for my history class which was $50 - a total rip off. I also got a little something for someone else, but I can't say anything about it or I would ruin the surprise. Next I went to get a haircut. I had been debating on keeping my hair short or letting it grow out a little and I've decided to let it grow. It's pretty long right now (for me anyways). Tawny always said I would look better with longer hair and I think she's right. Back in middle school I started shaving my head which lasted until about 2 years ago, but I've still kept it really short since then. Anyways my last stop was moms apt. to pick up my mail. I walked Abbe while I was there because she was begging to be let out. Beau came home while I was there and he looked really grown up in his new school clothes. I was impressed!

When I got back home I did some reading. My history teacher is nuts, over the weekend he assigned 200 pages to read by Tuesday. We had to read another 70 pages by today also. I'm a slow reader so it takes me forever... and this is a lower level class so he shouldn't be expecting so much. By next Tuesday we have another 225 pages to read and then a paper to write on the book. It's more like I have to read the whole book over the weekend, because I didn't have the course pack until yesterday. He never talks about the assignments in class so I wasn't prepared for my quizzes this week. My discrete math class is very hard also. It isn't really math. Every symbol has a different meaning than what you are used to seeing. There are not even numbers, it is all logic and theory. For example A-B means that x is an element of A and x is not an element of B. Or like |A| doesn't mean the absolute value of A but the cardinality of A, which is how many elements belong in that set. It's a lot to memorize, and very confusing. My calculus class is so-so. I'm not so worried about that class. And I am definitely not worried about my writing class.

Last night I made 2 hamburgers and corn for dinner. That is my favorite meal to cook. Afterwards I got ready for the Pi Kapp event (pics from before I left). They rented out Dave & Busters in Dolphin Mall. I had a really good time there. I played pool for a while, but some jerk stole our 2 ball so that didn't last. I went to another table to play and had to wait so I sat down. There was this girl who smiled at me so I said hi, but that was it. After a minute or two Kevin came over and started talking to me, he had been talking to some girls just before, one of which was the girl I had smiled at. He brought me over in front of them and we talked some more but he didn't introduce me. I got the feeling he wanted me to say hi to them so I introduced myself. At which point he left haha... So I guess I was right. Anyways the girl I had smiled at her name is Laura. She is super nice! And very attractive! We talked for 2 hours maybe, and got in a game of pool during that time. We played against some other frat guys and schooled them! Hahaha... nah we won though, but you would have been cracking up if you saw us playing. I hope I see Laura around campus again sometime. She's not my type at all but is cool to hang out with. Actually she convinced me to go to the Fight Night thing tonight so I'll get to see her there.

I got back home late and wanted to talk to Dana but she wasn't online. We had talked on the phone a couple nights ago which went very well. I try to make her laugh whenever I can, and it seemed like that was all she was doing while we were talking, so that made me feel great. I love hearing her laugh. Our relationship is moving in the right direction it feels like. I had said something that night I know made her uncomfortable. It was about a mistake I had made with Tawny. The same thing is not going to happen with her so I hope she doesn't worry about it. I would like to talk to her tonight but I probably won't. It's the end of the week and that means parties, so she probably won't be home. I'll be out doing my thing as well so it will just have to wait until whenever...

I know I am missing a ton of things I wrote last night... I need a power nap right now.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (Matt 7:7)

Okay I just spent an hour writing the biggest entry ever... and by accident I hit the refresh button so I lost it. I'll write between classes tomorrow because I have homework to finish right now. Goodnight.

Well good news is that I'm not in trouble for losing that pin! I still want my shirt back though. I didn't do good in my history class today, gotta step it up a notch! Im feeling very tired. Tonight I'll be busy doing homework & some other stuff. Bye.

Well today has certainly been weird to say the least. Last night I went to bed early because I was tired. I actually woke up from like 2-4 but went back to bed. I had planned on waking up at 9 but didn't wake up until 10:30. I got my math quiz back in discrete math, I got 6/12... what the hell is that all about. The lady marked -1 on problems 1 & 3. I proved them fine, but just like ridiculous, obvious, such small shit she marked off for... I am so upset! The 2nd problem I just totally got wrong. I should have got 8/12 at least, 9/19 would have been nice because I fucking tried the 2nd problem at least. The rest of the class I just gave the bitch a death stare. If the next quiz is like that she is getting a piece of my mind! After class I walked through GC. I saw some Pi Kapp guys... they told me this weekend they voted me into the frat!! I'm so excited. I got a little pin from them and went back to my dorm. Okay so when I get home I see this note on the door, is says like Rush you are soooo hot - but they signed it XOXO with no name! Doh! I thought that was kind of weird. I did HW and ate lunch. Went to my calc class... all of my HW was wrong :/ But he expanded on it more so now I have it down I think, just have to go over it once or twice before this Friday.

After class I was walking down the library stairs... and this girl comes to me and says "Can I have your shit". I was like uhhhh "Excuse me?" She had an accent so I had misunderstood her, she said "Can I have your shirt?" I was like ummm... OK. I took it off and gave it to her. (I am way too nice) Before I let her go, I asked her for her # so I could get my shirt back. She wouldn't give it to me! I asked her how I was supposed to get my shirt back and she said she would just find me... the whole thing was kind of weird. Then I thought about it, I really shouldn't have given it to her. First of all it was my favorite shirt. And second of all it has enormous sentimental value for several reasons: I remember when my mom had bough it for me - she had like no money but still took me shopping for school clothes, it is Tawny's favorite shirt, and I think Danielle loved me in that shirt too... it's the one I'm wearing in that picture of us in the Keys that is so awesome. So now I am really regretting giving it to this stranger, what if I don't get it back? I was thinking, maybe she is in a sorority, or a new pledge, who needed to get a shirt from a frat guy? Cause I had put that pin on after I got it... Maybe she was sent by the frat guys to steal my shirt... I read somewhere that all the pledges are supposed to wear a pin at all times or something... so I don't know. If I don't get my shirt back I am going to be pissed though! Eric said to rape her ass with a huge dildo. Hell no! Dude you are sick... she deserves something worse... like a baseball bat up the ass LOL.

I am going running in a few... I'll probably run into a tank that is going to shoot me across campus into a pool of earth worms or something, that's how weird my day has been it feels like. This week there is a ton of rush events & parties so I'm excited. Anyone that wants to go let me know. I'm out.

Wow!!! If you missed the UM-UF game, you just missed the game of the year. That was simply incredible! After the first half I was actually thinking of turning it off, and going home, but I was like eh... I'll give Berlin 2 more drives and then its over. The first drive I think he actually messed up - I was getting frustrated. Then he pulled off all those crazy drives. He is the man! I swear Danny is getting an ass beating for stealing my ticket now. I can't believe I couldn't go to the game!! GRRR!

Tomorrow I'm doing homework. Probably going to watch the Dolphin game. And around 5 I'm going for my make-up 12 mile run. Pray that it doesn't rain! Oh I might go to the FIU soccer game too. They are having a tournament this weekend. Friday I saw them play some team from San Diego, which they crushed 5-1. Everyone was playing pretty good. My other friend Alejando got to play a little so that was cool. Also I saw Andres, he played goalie at Killian one or two years I was there. Also UCF was playing before FIU because they are in the tournament. My friend Mark plays for them so I got to see him & his dad. I see everyone at these damn games its great. Jay Flipse was there and also Albert & Chris. I feel bad for Albert cause after playing in the MLS he can't come back to play in college. Well FIU made up for the other day and actually looked decent, so I still want to go out in the spring and play.

The other night I was talking with Danielle and we decided to get her down here one weekend. I got the ticket even though I can't really afford it, but it was something I just had to do... We should have a good time together, that's all I want it to be. No need to rush things ;) Today I also talked to Peter for a while. I can't wait for him to get back to Miami. He got me a small project so that is going to help me out with money for a little while. Thanks man :D

Hmmm today other than that I went over to Bret's house and we had a BBQ. It was good to see my friends from Gainesville. Danny for real though you are getting your ass kicked! I went to see my mom & brother tonight. We all watched the game together. I can't believe my mom was rooting for UF! ...and she is a UM alumni. Okay someone needs to tell her what the deal is cause she won't listen to me! LOL. My brother and I got along pretty well so that was cool. He even gave me a hug. He never gives hugs any more - to anyone - only my dad. While I was there I realized that my favorite sandals BROKE!!! I was so upset cause I've had them forever and I love them even though they look like shit & I always trip & slip in them. That's what i love about them actually hehe. It is definitely time for some new ones but I can't afford it right now.

There is a lot of little stuff I need/want... but I can't be getting all of that stuff cause it adds up + I'm broke! Ahhh the college life = broke, gotta love it. I need nail clippers & a little nail file thingy, and also I wanted a scale! I checked today and I still weigh 175 lbs... what the fuck is that all about? I never lose or gain any weight at all!! No matter how much I work out, or how much shit I eat, it's always deadlocked at 175. But at least right now I am looking pretty good. I always thought my stomach wasn't in great shape along with my chest (right?) but they look decent now I think. I never liked my posture either, I always thought I hunched over and never stood up straight. I know what it was... it was because I lacked confidence for a while. Now my posture is great, at least I think so, and I feel great. So those are some good signs that things are changing. When Peter gets back we'll be hitting the gym 24/7 and after my marathon I will be in amazing shape - so then I can work on other things like my speed, agility, and power. Come spring I will be a machine!

Anyways it's past my bed time, I downloaded some "sounds of nature" the other day because I wanted to see how it would affect falling asleep... I don't know how much of a difference it makes but I like it so I'm sticking with it. Goodnight!

Well today started off bad. I went to bed super late last night because I was writing a paper for history class. I didn't get much sleep because that class is also at 8 AM! When I got back I slept until 11 which is the time I thought my next class was at. I walked into the room and this lady says "Oh we have a new student today!" I was like WTF!! And I walked out... my class isn't until 12:30! So as you can see I was extremely tired. I went back to the dorm extecting to sleep some more but my new roomate Josh came in and started talking... and he wouldn't fucking leave. We talked for over a freakin' hour. He is like a real thug hahah. Well really like one of those kids I always make fun of - rich white boys who think they are thugs. I don't feel safe with him here actually. I have a feeling he is going to start steeling my things & eating all my food! Oh well, if he tries anything I can just beat his ass. I know he scared cause he was telling me about it. And I am Goliath compared to him. I went to class and it was torture. She gave us the easiest assignment ever and asked if we had any questions, and everyone in the class asked like 5 questions each, and the same question was asked 10 times over... it was pathetic. I came back here & chilled. I forgot what I did actually but it wasn't sleep. I went for my run at 5 but half way through it started raining with really bad thunder & lightning so I had to quit. So I only ran 6 miles today instead of 12. I might switch the run today with sunday so I can get that 12 in. I've just been chillin here all night. Oh and I totally forgot, when I woke up this morning I checked my mail and I had the worst email from Danielle. It made me feel horrible. And then tonight we were arguing, which really sucked. It did get better though... We talked again about an hour later and things are cool. Plus I got a call from Bret tonight and I think he may have found me a ticket to the UM-UF game!!!! HELL FUCKING YEA! When he called that just made all the shit from today dissapear. You gotta love best friends. They always come through like that. Oh and in case Danielles friend reads this (lol I have no idea why she would ever) but Meghan you rock! :) I'm going to watch the Hulk now ~ Laaaaaate!

I just have to say I love what I'm wearing today. I got a new shirt at the mall yesterday and I like it a lot. :) I just got back from class, and it sucked. I have to finish reading the rest of my book and write a paper on it for thursday. Right now I have to go to the storage unit to pick up a printer cable & get everything for my report & tech writing class ready. And then later on study for math. Also there is football practice & a rush event tonight so I should be busy. I might skip the frat thing actually, not sure, I might be way to tired to go out because I have to run 4 miles today also. I changed my running schedule and I really like how it looks now. All of my long days are on thursday, sunday seems to be a pretty heavy day too which is okay I guess. All my wednesdays and fridays look like rest days. I know last time I wrote about how I didn't think Danielle cared about me, but it turns out I was wrong, so that made me extremely happy! I'm not in the mood to write much, gotta get things done...
