<blows really hard>

Yes... well now that I have the dust out of here, maybe I shall start posting on this thing again. Either that or perhaps I will just use it for about a week and then forget about it again for another 10 or so months. It's really a coin toss ;)

Anyway, I got a job with Wal-Mart in Bentonville, AR. I will be a computer programmer. I'm not really sure about what language, department,j or what type of application(s) I will be maintain/creating, but it's not a bad gig for a 23-year-old right out of college with a Bachelor's degree. Nothing much else going on with me that I would like to share (the rest is either kinda personal or just plain silly on my part).

See ya either in 10 more months or in a couple days.

The Slow Dancer
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDm)

Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer.

Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you're a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There's also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.

Your exact opposite:
The Hornivore

Random Brutal Sex Master
While you're not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it's HIGHLY likely they're just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.

Hello one and all. Another update from the Chedd man

Nothing much has been happening to me lately. Classes, work study, friends, sleep, and eating. Not in that exact order though (sorry everyone, but eating really should come before friends )

On another note, I went bowling yesterday with 6 of my new friends in Turner; Emily, John, Samuel, J, Frances, and Ben. Wow... I'm surprised I remembered everyones name Emily, by far, has to be my favorite in that group. For those of you that know, picture Evan's personality, multiply it by 2, and stick it in female form. That's a decent description of Emily for you The others were pretty cool too but a little strange, even for me, and that saying something But as the night rolled on, I got too know them a little bit better which is coolness.

Planning on having a mini LAN party this weekend with my firends, Joe and Andy. We are going to LAN Star Wars Battlefront. Joe also has a waffle machine so he just moved up in my list as who to spend more time with

Anyway, enough rambling about how my life is going. I hope you are all having as good a day as I'm having and going to have (not wishful thinking... factual thinking )

Yeah... yeah... I haven't updated in a while, but I've been busy. Mainly I've been playing a video game, KOTOR II on the Xbox, but more importantly, my internet connection has been down for the past few days so, while I still could post on the libby's computers, I wouldn't have access to my kickbutt smilies

Nothing reallly new in this sector of the galaxy (other than playing more video games and the internet connection being down). I have a Java project coming up that the whole class doesn't really know what to do for it (as far as specifications), although we do know it has to be "non-trivial" and involve a external data source like a database or a text file. I was going to do mine on Star Wars (surprise, surprise I was going to have the main factions, such as the Empire, as a table and inside the tables, list the main characters of that group. Pretty simple, but it'll get the job done.

Still don't have a girlfriend, but I haven't been looking too hard either. Beside, I have a lack of funds at the moment (only $200 or so until November) so I can't exactly take a girl out on a date as it will usually cost money . Before anyone comments on that statement, yes I know... there are things to do that don't cost money, but in general, going on a date costs money. As I have decided anyway, I'm happy being me without a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean if one happens to come along I'm going to throw it back . I have more new friends this semester and video games to keep me company anyway

Well, I am surprised the internet connection has been up this long. It's only been about 30 min since I turned on computer and got a connection, but it has usually been going on for about 5 minutes at a time, so this is unusual indeed. I'm not going to press my luck, however, and end this nonsensical entry post haste.

Greetings from my new room in Turner 335

Not a whole lot has happened to me in the week since I posted last. Going to classes and hanging out with friends; nothing really out of the ordinary. Although I have been playing more video games than I would like too, but I guess it doesn't hurt if I still get my stuff done right? Cassie is aparently upset at me. Oh well... I hate to lose friends over an incident in the past, but she is entitled to be mad if she so desires.

After two days of it being down, my Internet connection seems to final be up again. This is good news. Now I can submit the assignment that was due today but I couldn't because the connection was down. He only said he would dock me 10%.

Anyway, not much more going on in this neck of the woods. I would also like to point out that I have determined that I have been more jackassy lately than ever before, kinda like I don't give a rat's butt about anybody (which isn't true... I've just been giving off that impression). Feel free to expand on that statement if anyone wants to

Yesterday, I was a tad upset when I posted my entry. Today I feel a lot better.

First off, let my apologize to Cassie and Michael. In reading the entry I made yesterday, it may sound as though I am verbally assaulting either one or both of you. Maybe I felt like doing it at the time 'cause I was upset, but now that I have calmed down I have realized that is no way to behave. For that, I am sorry. What I shall not apologize for is for telling my feelings on the matter. Those have not changed.

I should also probably extend my apology to include mot letting my feelings known at the time. If the words truly offended me, I should have spoken up at the time right? Well for me, I've learned, it isn't always that simple. One of my greatest joys is being around friends and I might say that something did not offend me at the time because of the attitude I'm in. Yesterday, I was so overjoyed at having company to talk to that it overshadowed my feelings on the matter. Only when the trip was over in my room ready to go to sleep did I realize that their words stung at me.

Secondly, to reiterate what I was trying to get across yesterday, I don't think I'm dense at all. I am naive. Dense to me is being too stupid to allow new thoughts to flood your already crowded mind. Naive, on the other hand means a "lack of worldly experience and understanding", which is exactly why Cassie and Michael were getting upset at me yesterday... because I lacked the understanding of what they were talking about. How can someone be dense if they first don't understand the question being asked?

I think finally I have ran out of things to complain about. So until the next time I become childish with another one of my unique rants, I shall bid you all a good morning (as it is morning in Russellville).

I am supposed to be asleep right now, but I decided this couldn't wait or I'll just forget it and I think it needs to be said. I'm supposed to be posting about my trip to Little Rock with Cassie and Michael this evening, but I'm not going too despite Cassie asking me too. I might later, but right now I have more pressing matters to get to.

On the way back from Little Rock, we got into a discussion on sexuality and basically my lack of any form of a sex life. That part about me having no sex life is indeed true, but they (Cassie and Michael) later called me dense for not knowing hidden connotations in different acts, such as french kissing and lyrics. It didn't hurt me at the time probably because I was already in an upbeat mood as I usually am around friends, but laying in bed tonight about to go to sleep with no one to talk to, I got to think of how much I guess those words did hurt my feelings.

I do know that I lack the experience in a romantic or sexual setting that a majority of 22 year olds have (I've only ben kissed on the lips once on a dare, haven't gotten any further sexually than that), but I seemn to do just fine with my sexuality. I have always been a person in life to do things on my own time. I walked about 1 year later than I should have, first learned to drive when I was 19, and now becoming more social than I ever have in my entire life. My mom calls me a "late bloomer". I would like to think that's the case rather than having people belittle me by telling me that I'm dense for having a lack of experience.

Whenever I do find a girlfriend, hopefully she will be able to catch me up to speed with the pace of the rest of the world, but until that day when I meet that someone that will love me for who I am and not for what I know, I will just continue to live my life at the pace I desire. I may get left behind; if I get too lonely back there then I will just have to catch up won't I?

To top it all off, Cassie says it's something no one can really tell you, it's just something you experience. Well if it's something you experience, then why did she get so mad at me telling me about what french kissing is all about (which apparently is nothing but a connotation for sex)? And Michael said I'm denser than him at sexual inuendos despite the fact that I have atleast attempted my hand at dating and have a girlfriend, something he still has yet to do. Although I might not be the brightest individual when it comes to talking about sex, but that is still no way to make me feel inferior like being called dense, which means "Permitting little [light] to pass through". It has nothing to do with me; I will allow stuff to come through if someone tells me it. Niave about sexuality is a better term to use, which that is a word I can live with and have even been calling myself that for many years now, not just with sex but with alcohol, drugs, and the like.

Cassie also attacked my idea of a romantic time, holding hands. I find nothing more romantic, but she made fun of it. Again, probably because I was in my usual happy-go-lucky mood, it didn't affect me then, but now it bothers me. I may not be the most romantic person in the world, but that is still now reason to make fun of someone for it.

I believe I have more on the issue, but seeing as this is probably already long enough, I shall quit for tonight. If I remember why I'm a little upset right now, I might ellaborate more tomorrow. For now, I guess I shall bid you all a good night

...but I felt this was important to say...

Dang... I have too many userpics on my account. I thought I only had 50 total, but it turns out I have 100. I have only used 16 of those slots, so, if you do your math correctly, that leaves 84 slots available. It expires in August. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought extra userpics, but it is what it is. Atleast it only was $10 for an entire years worth of pics.

Hello one and all!

Nothing really much has been happening to me lately. Over this Labor Day weekend, I took my desktop up to my friend Joe's room and we LANed with his roommate and his other buddy to play Warcraft III. I got so powned. But I wasn't too horrible for my first time playing the game. They even said so. Made me happy . I had a good time and that is what is important.

Other than that happening, it's been an uneventful week for me. I went to class, ate, and slept... occasionally I got homework done too, but only when I was behind .

Been a while since I updated so I guess I shall...

As for myself, things are hunky dorry on this front. Classes seem to be ok. The one that I anticipate not liking very much, although I know I will use it later, is Systems Analysis and Design. It's basically a problem solving class. No programming, no computers... just how to solve computer related problems. Can anyone say snooze fest? . The other classes seem alright: PHP, OOP (Object Oriented Programming), CSS, and Networking. All in all, not very tough classes.

On a personal level, things are not going so hot. I was forced to pay $1,245 to the college before I could eat at the caf. I knew I had to pay eventually, but I didn't anticipate so soon. It's left me with only about $500 in the bank until November, when my CD rolls over. That is more than enough to sustain myself, but I had hopes of going on more dates this semester; dates cost money which is something I seem to be at a lack of at the moment. Although I could just say, "Screw it" and go on dates anyway . On a very plus side, I am expanding my circle of friends. I had hopes of doing this, but saying it and doing it are sometimes two different things. It seems to have worked out though.

I seem to have been lulled back into playing video games. I finished book 6 of Potter (which was excellent) but it has left me with no reading. Cassie said she would let my borrow Black which is a Christian novel, but I forgot to ask about it today despite hanging out with her for more than an hour or two today. Just slipped my mind. Anyway, I have books to read if she doesn't let me but I don't think it should be a problem (I still have the Belgariad series to start).

I also thought of something else but I shall not post that. It might rub Cassie the wrong way, which I don't want to do... hm... perhaps I do . Anyway, later everyone.

Sorry for the lack of entries recently, but I have been busy as most already know

Well, the past couple of days have been amusing. First I drove three hours on a curvy road trying to make my appointment with Cassie at 1:00PM on Saturday, only to turn out that she wasn't quite ready until 2:00PM (which is the time she thought I said). It worked out in the end. We got all the large items in my van and small ones in her car. It only took about 30 minutes to an hour, then I helped her clean a bit and visited. Other than being hot, it was nice.

On Sunday, I picked Michael up for church at about 10:15AM. We left church shortly after the sermon (about Sunday School) and got to campus at about 12:00AM for check-in. As Michael posted, he drove back while Cassie changed in the passenger seat (darn... too bad she wasn't riding with me ) and I drove back myself. After check-in, we unloaded my van and her car. After about one or two trips up to her room (on the second floor), she wanted her bed raised. Luckily I had the right tool (as the RA was busy at check-in) so I finished that project with Cassie while Michael unlodaed my van by himself. I wasn't too disappointed about that part . It was very hot outside that day... we were all making little sweat puddles in our shirts. I actually had to take mine off to dry out a bit (I asked permission first ).

Today wasn't as hectic as the previous days. Didn't really accomplish much either. I meant to begin to rebuild my old computer for Cassie, but never happened. I got a new wirelss keyboard and mouse for it though. My ID card won't swipe for the caf so until I get that fixed with Student Accounts, I get no food . I shall do it first thing in the morning though.

Something most incredible also happened to me while I was at the Wally World shopping center (the second time... I already went once today with Cassie. She needed help spending money ). I went to the Cingular place to purchase a new cell phone charger for my room because mine stopped working on my Mountian Home trip last week. They didn't have one so I asked and the attendent went in the back to get one. Now comes the spectacular part... she came back and said it was free of charge even when I was fully willing to purchase it. Just goes to show you that if you do good deeds you shall get them in return

Enough of my entry. I shall bid you all a good day

i aslI arrived a few days ago (Monday evening), but today has really been the first time I have been able to find time to post an entry. I would even be greatful for that because I wasn't planning on it until I got to Russellville...

Anyway, I am having fun here. My Dad, uncle, and my dad's cousin are all in town here. My great uncle lives here and loves to golf... and so does everyone else visiting save the cousin. We went to the golf course in Bull Shoals yesterday and the course in Diamond City today. I had lots of fun, but my neck did get sunburned and doesn't feel pleasant... my dad has been calling me a redneck.

The cousin has expressed an interest in going out dancing tonight. She has went with the 5 of us to watch golf (I, dad, uncle, great uncle, and great's son), so she only thought it was fair. I would have to agree with her too. Plus, it was fun the last time I went out with her and compnay in New Orleans over Spring Break. She was the first one to really show me how to slow dance... although I still need work :-D

I also would like to extend an apology to Cassie. I forgot to wish her a great trip home and a pleasant week with her family... even after talking her 3 times since whe told me. I think I mentioned it on Saturday before we parted though so I may be in the clear...

Yes, that is right. I shall be in Mountain Home until Saturday evening and will probably not have an opportunity to post as I have been. My grandmother only has 56K dial up internet connection. On top of that, my dad is coming in so I imagine I am going to spen most of my time with him as it's been about 3 months since I last saw him. Been even longer for my mom (last Christmas is when I last saw her), but I do intend to go home for Christmas, so I wish for the school semester to be ended quickly

Damn it's good to be alive

I urge everyone who reads this to go have fun with life. Enjoy it once in a while. Life is too short to be cooped up at a job or work all the time. I realize that going to school or work is a part of life for many, but when anyone gets a chance, they should do what they want to do. If that constitutes writing a 50 page essay for enjoyment, then by all means do that. Whatever it takes, just make sure you do what you enjoy once in a while. Life is short; it may stop tomorrow or the next day or the day after that, but that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy what you do have.

I was set to post another detailed dream I had, but now I don't feel like it. Before I made this entry, I went to my other forum I post on. The nature of the forum is sexual in nature, so I shant post what irritated me about it, but just that the irritation I have is now flowing over me and draining out and causing me not to want to post what I had in mind. I may get to it later, but don't count on it. I'll more than likely forget about the dream by midday

As for what happened with myself today, not much. I finished the last of the grading for the summer term, helped Cassie move some boxes from a friends house to her Aunt's house, and took a nice long one and a half hour walk through the park.

Although I love to walk, the walk I performed today was because of sadness for the most part. First of all, when I got back to the room at around 5:00PM, I felt like I wanted to do something. I asked Michael if he knew of any good spots in Russellville to go and he replied with no. Then the subject moved to plays and finally ended about a half an hour to a hour later with him watching a movie. After sulking in my room a bit, I decided a walk might do me good. While I was thinking of going, my mind kept wisking away to images of Cassie. Not sure why really, but they were there all the same. Anyway, after getting to my car, I decided to give her a call and ask if she wished to join me. This is where it got wierd for me...

I hesitated and my heart started beating faster like I was nervous of what the answer would be. I have no idea why because I have asked her to do stuff before and I was fine all the other times. I was acting like I had a deep crush on her, but I don't (yes it is true... sorry to break you heart Cassie ). As I'm typing and looking back on the scenario, maybe I was nervous not because of asking a female out, but because I would have been doomed to go to the park by myself if I heard a "no" and I didn't want to think of that (as I was feeling a tad lonely at the time). I then thought of what my mom used to always say to me when I was growing up... "Never hurts to ask... worse you can get is a no." That is true; had I not even asked, the answer would have been "no" anyway. So I did and the answer, did indeed, turn out to be a no. I just shruged it off and proceeded to the park. It was just the wierdest thing...

When I arrived at the park, I had called my grandma in California to talk, but she wasn't there. It made me slightly sadder, but wasn't a big deal. I saw the most beautiful setting; the sun was directly behind a cloud and, in turn, the cloud seemed to be bursting with dark rays around the cloud, kinda like a outer glow. It was very pretty... I tried to take a picture with my camera phone, but it didn't look so good .

On my walk, I thought about a bunch of random things. About halfway through my walk however, I started thinking about death. That was very odd for me because I don't generally have such thoughts. Yesterday I had them too, but it was the exact opposite of today's thought. Yesterday, mainly because of my optimism, I thought that if my physical body died on that day, that it would be ok because I had fulfilled my duty (whatever it is). Today, however, I thought that if I died, I wouldn't be missed by anyone at all, including my parents. I know for a fact that isn't true but it was still a feeling of mine. I think what spawned the feeling was Michael leaving Yahoo! messenger to watch a movie, Cassie saying no because she was in the midst of packing, and my Grandma not being home to talk. Still... it is what it is. I don't feel that way anymore however (and to me that's a good thing ).

After being satisfied with feeling better, I started to head back, only to discover that I had inadvertintly left my headlights on for the duration of my walk. I hoped my battery wasn't dead, but I had decided that if it was, that I would walk home. Luckily the battery wasn't dead, and I proceeded home and began typing this exhausting entry.

Yeah... um... sorry for typing so much, but I guess I felt like saying what I have

I didn't think it would be because I moved and had to finish grading (I didn't however ... I came close though), but it I guess my optimisim from this morning kept on ticking through the whole day. Ah well... guess that happens sometimes, not that I'm saying it's a bad thing; on the contrary, it was very good for me today. I just wish it would stop because now I really do need to go to bed. Cassie is supposed to come here at around 10:30 in the morning to pick me up to help her move some boxes, so I really do need my rest for that. I just don't feel tired though. My mom suggested nice quiet music and reading to calm me down. Not sure if that will do it but I shall try...

Anyway, in other news, I went to Wally World to buy some stuff for my new room. I am almost settled in BTW, although I still have a few items still in boxes. While I was leaving, I dropped the $40 I just got as cash back from using my debit card (as I had none ) I picked it up and proceeded to my car and when I got there I discovered I had only $20 of the 40. Oh well. I chalked it up to God saying someone else needed it more than me.

Hm... maybe I might need a check up because now I'm trembling a bit. Don't know if it's because past my normal bedtime or what, but it is odd. Probably just cold. Oh well. This to is part of life.

One last thing: If [info]astra_accipiter reads this, I summon you to IM me on MSN or reply to the messege. I wish to talk to you...

I'm not sure why I am really in the mood I'm in. There is plenty to be optimistic about, but today I change rooms and have to finish grading so it's not going to be too fun of a day. Yet, I am still optimistic for some reason. Maybe it's because I dreamt last night that I had asked a girl out then there became two seperate pathways for the dream. The first was that she said no, I shruged it off and said maybe next time, then proceeded to write an entry in LiveJournal about how I recieved my first rejection when asking someone out other than Cassie (who I'm slighty used to getting told no by her ) and I was joyous for this as it was a time for coming to grips with my little fear of rejection I have. The other path is where she said yes and we went to see a movie. Strange thing was that I wasn't any happier going on the date than being told no. Oh well...

I had also hoped to ask Cassie a couple questions, mainly concerning if she wanted to help me celebrate the end of the summer term, but since I have yet to see her (last time was yesterday at 10:00AM), I guess there will be more food for me to eat . Perhaps I will see her in church on Sunday and ask her my other questions...
