My day today

So today, I woke up. Crawl/flop/somehow get out of bed. Talk to some really awesome people online for a while. Then I go exploring, go up to the mountains. Play around in some waste deep snow, take some pictures, realize Ephraim probably has the ugliest mountains around. Then I get my car stuck, then the person helping me out gets his truck stuck, then we sit around swapping stories while we wait for the people he called. Finally I get unstuck and drive home. Then, deciding against staying in my apartment me and Rob decide to gather some people and go get pizza, eventually people are gathered. We eat. It is good. Then we go back to one of the apartments to play games. We have much fun playing games. End day. It was fun.

Friends, bad years, and direction

I have some of the greatest friends you could ever ask for. I'd have gone insane without them around here. But there's a problem... We're all unhappy, this year has been awful for pretty much everyone I care about. I have one friend who's far too familiar with losing people. Her best friend, and the person who actually made her less than perfect life happy, is leaving on his mission. Since she's bad at losing people she managed to end things on a bad note. She talked to me and she felt better for now, but she's still losing someone she loves again. Then there's another friend, I'd rather sit and do nothing with her than do something insanely fun with anyone else, who thought she was going to get money her parents owed her so she could pay for the second semester. But it turns out that her parents have money problems, and no one has been telling her what's going on and things have gotten steadily worse since she left. And now she's not getting her money and she feels like she should be at home helping her family instead of here, and she really doesn't like the idea of taking out a loan. Then there's another friend who I got really close to who, then did something that really hurt and betrayed me. She didn't mean to, and she really feels bad for it, but we've tried being friends and she's never really going to let us be friends again. She's miserable as well, but she won't talk to me about it anymore, and she's told me I was better than anyone at understanding everything. So she's down someone to talk to and depressed. And there are a half dozen other stories I could tell you. Everyone of us has talked about how we've no idea what we're doing in college or what to do for a living. Is it normal for this many people in a group to be unhappy at once? Does anyone have any answers? I just really hope this next year goes better for all of them.

Back to school

I'm a little over a week into my second year of college. So far it's had a lot of good and bad. Two of my roommates aren't getting along. Plus none of us are getting along with our old friends next door(actually we aren't getting along with one of them. Everyone still loves the other one) and they feel like we've abandoned them for the new girls downstairs. The girls downstairs are new this year. They're cute and funny and fun to hang out with. We had a cake fight because it was mikes birthday and we ate the cake out side and all just grabbed a fork so we didn't have to wash any plates. Eventually we just started throwing it at each other. It was fun. Me and Rob have a crush on one of them. But she likes Rob. I knew this a week before anyone else. I told him but he didn't believe me. And now they're dating. I also talked about it with one of her roommates. She was asking who we all like (she could guess who I had a crush on. I'm remarkably bad at playing it cool) and I said it didn't matter because she clearly liked Rob, I told her I was good at reading people. She said "no you're not" and some stuff about being a girl and talking to her. But she's gone for the weekend and I haven't gotten to gloat yet. Unfortunately there aren't really any other interesting girls around.
Oh and the actual school thing. It's ok. Italian is fun, Sociology is interesting. Everything else is kind of boring.

Nevermind

After hanging out for most of Monday she decided I felt more like a friend. (insert words I can't say in front of ladies). I'm gonna go listen to depressing music for a while...

There's this girl...

So there's this girl. Funny, sweet, kind, smart, the most heartbreakingly beautiful eyes I have ever seen, likes good music, good movies, loves animal, is way to pretty for me, Wants to name her kids the same thing (which evolved into us planning oon running away to Ireland and getting married), Thinks I'm funny, that I'm the nicest guy she knows, and would "more than LOVE to" go out with me. It looks like what started out as an incredibly depressing summer just got a whole lot better.
That is all, goodnight.

woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man

That friend I talked about earlier, the one who staunchly refuses to go out with me. When asked why girls (IE her) have no interest in dating me. She replied "girls don't go out with you cuz they don't know what they're missing". Ow, my head. I don't really have anything against women but, What is wrong with your gender?

First year

I've finished my first year of college. How was it you ask?
Well first the actual school part. The school itself is good, the second semester was very apathetic though. Because of this some grades are lower than they should be (math a C+) however in spite of a somewhat casual approach to attendence in English (plus a tendency to procrastinate and then rush my essays) I managed to get a B. Other school things... I've no idea what I'm majoring in, or what I' going to do with my life. Nothing else important I can think of.
The non-school bits- Ephriam is painfully dull, this is offset by the fact that there are some really fun people to hang out with. My roomates are by and large pretty cool. Despite some of them having a tendency to steal my food. I had the horrible fortune to fall madly in love with my best friend who has no interest in ever being anything other than friends (AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!) which has driven me mad for the past few months. That's all there is to tell. Questions? Comments? Anyway goodbye for now
