Hey, not a lot of time, but some people have been inquiring about an update, so here it is.
Lately, my car has not been awesome. It has in fact been mildly frustrating. Not to go into too many details, but it sat at BestBuy for a couple of days, while myself and others took turns trying to fix it with little to no luck. Today, my Dad was able to fix it enough to get it back to my house, with only two stops along the way to re-repair it. He thinks maybe he can fix it Sunday, so here's hoping!
Anyway, I wanted to say that my Dad is the best because he came up to Eau Claire on a cold rainy day and basically saved me from having to call a tow-truck. He's a farmer, so he doesn't have a ton of free time, and it just makes me happy knowing he's there for me.
I know you don't read this, but I love you, Dad!

Winning
Hey blogger universe!
I am very frustrated right now. There are very few downsides in my current living arrangement, but there is one very big one. Whenever I try to have a serious discussion/debate with the roomies, it always ends in disaster. The problem is that they refuse to admit that they're ever wrong, and most of the time they resort to non-relevant extreme methods to "win".
One of my favorites was "Boo!" Whenever I'd try to say anything, regardless of how logical it was, the answer they had was "boo". The current method is to throw out something so ridiculously outlandishly false that it makes me throw something just as ridiculous back so that they'll see how stupid they sound. This rarely works, but does have the upside of being an argument-ender, as people usually get too upset to continue. It's just difficult, because I'm actually fond of having serious conversations, just not with people who can't admit they're wrong.
In the less depressing news department, Fantasy Football is going full swing, and Week One looks like it'll be a winner! The Packers had an explosive first game, which would normally be good, but since I have no Packers on my team and my opponent had 3, it wasn't great for me personally. Still happy they won, and the rest of my team managed to pull off a victory anyway.
Also, Mary Ellen hosted Second Saturday this month, and while my family was at a wedding and unable to attend, we still had a decent turn out, and I got in some serious volleyball time.

Importing Hotness
Heeeeeeyyy!
Decided to throw some more knowledge your way. I was working last night (at Kohls), and I made some observations. Ok, actually I only made one observation. All foreign exchange student are better looking than the host family's daughter. There were three separate instances where they came through my line, and it made me want to become a host family...
that's all.

Partnership
Apologies to my loyal followers. All two of you. Seriously folks, I feel bad for promising more, and then dropping you altogether. Let's try and correct this.
Probably be best to start with a few updates. I got the job at Burrachos, and I like it. It's flexible with my scheduling, and it seems easy enough. Hopefully they like me as well, and this is the start of a long and beneficial partnership.
Speaking of partnerships, albeit not long and beneficial ones, things are pretty much done with the OKC girl. It's for the best. She was definitely wanting more on the sex side of things, and since I pretty much draw the line at cuddling, it wasn't going to work out. Curse me and my morals.
I had designs on making this longer, but it's late and I'm drinking.

Update on the OKC Girl
After a very fun weekend, one in which I've made solid headway with a possible girlfriend, I decided it was time for an update.
Saturday, I had the chance to discuss some things with one of my followers. She kind of shocked me by bringing up the subject of The Girl, because I haven't told anyone about her yet. I just feel like jumping the gun might jinx things. Anyway, we also discussed some other things, and I kind of wish we had talked more. On a side note, I bumped into her at Gordy's today while picking up chips for a family get together.
On the subject of the title, we've graduated to texting, and it seems like a possible movie date is imminent. All I know for sure so far is that I've had to empty my inbox once already...
In other news, those of you who follow my facebook feed are also aware that I've recently applied for a second job at Burrachos. The interviews are going well, but I'm not sure it will actually fit with my Kohl's schedule. I'm going to discuss it with my manager tomorrow, but I have a bad feeling that I'll have to tell Burrachos no. Sucky poos.

Welcome to the Future
Ok, here's the dealio. I WANT to write on here more. I really do. Problem: most of my deep thoughts occur while I'm laying in bed, not the most convenient time to record them. I've tried remedying that by logging on here before I go to bed, so I can write out what's on my mind.
This "solution" has hit it's own snag: OkCupid.
"What's OkCupid?" you say. Well, I'll tell you. It's this free dating website that my BFF Jeff told me about. I don't think any of you readers have met him, but that's off-topic, so maybe we can visit it in a later post.
Anyway, I know what you're thinking. "A dating website! This guys a loser. Can't even meet women." Well I have news for you: It's the 21st century, and this is the way we do it nowadays. My pastor is even supportive of the internet dating(henceforth to be referred to as IDate) movement. He feels God gave us this technology to help us meet the one He has for us. As long as you don't abuse it, and technology can be a great helper in the dating world. Also, I read somewhere that 1 in 5 marriages are couples who met online. So there, Stigma removed.
Where was I? Oh yeah, the reason I don't post every day. The way the whole IDate thing is different than real dating is that you don't meet in person write away, and in my experience you don't start texting for awhile either. You mostly write messages back and forth, finding out about each other, seeing if there's any chemistry there. Fact is, I'm having one very promising exchange with a girl (fingers crossed) and one spiritual discussion with another.
You have to understand, my typing skills suck. I can only do so much in one sitting, and OKCupid is Priority One.

The Twofer
So after some careful thought, especially after yesterday's tiny entry, I've decided that it's going to be more of a Blog-a-day WHEN I have time to actually write out something. While it seems this opens a pretty big loophole, I'll try to skip days only like yesterday when my time is tightly budgeted. Ok, got that out of the way, now for today's news.
Lunch today was at Subway, mostly because I wanted pulled pork, and that seemed like the easiest way to get some. Normally this wouldn't really be exciting, but after I had eaten the first half, I was staring at the second 6 inches and thinking it'd be nice if it was chicken-bacon-ranch. this led me to come up with a absolutely brilliant idea. Wouldn't it be nice if Subway let you do half-and-half subs? I understand that they're broken into different price brackets, but it seems if you pick two from the same section it shouldn't matter. I can't tell you how much I would enjoy eating a fresh pulled pork followed by a cool ranch covered chicken bacon sandwich. Subway, take note!
Also happening today, a nice afternoon visit with an old friend. Sometimes it's good to just meet up with pals from the past and talk about where life has taken us. Definitely an afternoon well spent. I recommend having all conversations about the past on playground equipment. Makes remembering more fun.
