So, I had this awkward no-call date thing happen a few days ago. Turns out the guy misplaced my number, so no foul, BUT while I was waiting I decided it would be best if I got something to eat. I stopped by one of my usual joints, a Chinese restaurant called Asian Garden. I mean, I didn't know how long I would be waiting, if I'd be able to eat a decent meal before the movie began, whatever. I dropped by to get something to eat and I just happened to meet some really cool people.
Piano man! When I walked in, he was talking with the cashier, laughing, joking, all in good fun. :) I joined in, because you know me, I can't ever decide on what I want quickly. Somehow, some way, it came out that I go to Rice, that I don't *really* pay for it, and that Rice, actually, true fact, isn't an Ivy League school. hmmmm. So piano man sort of freaks out, right?, "Oh really? You go to Rice? Rice University? In Houston? Well that's good for you. I'll bet you go to the beach often." We, the cashier and I, had to convince him that Houston isn't actually near a beach. haha, He thought that the beach was, like, a 10 minute drive from downtown? Anyway, turns out that he'll be going to UH for grad school, which is kinda cool when you think about it because we had this weird connection, and I don't usually talk to people I don't know. Thanks Wasabi :P for an interesting night.
Cashier! I liked the cashier. She was nice and friendly, and she looked oddly familiar. We got to talking after Wasabi left, and, apparently, she went to junior high and the first year of high school with me and came back to San Marcos (and to Texas State) for college. Coincidence? Definitely. We know so many people in common, and we had different stories to tell, it was great. We just talked. I like friendly people. Thanks Breanna for talking! :D
Delivery boy! I'm sorta glad that Asian Garden wasn't too busy that night because I wouldn't have met the delivery boy. He also looked familiar to me, but I have, um, difficulties distinguishing between Dennis Quaid and Harrison Ford, so no big surprise there. Our conversation flow chart: apartment design > our society's need for efficiency, speed, perfection > lack of perfection in the world > the price(lessness) of perfection > trashcans. If you lost that flow somewhere, it's okay, my conversations usually derail into other, cruder, topics. Anyway, Mr. Civil Engineer wants to improve the world one trashcan at a time. I'm going to let him do that- I think most trashcans are perfect, in that they serve their main function quite well. He's looking for ways to improve functionality while maintaining a certain standard of trash, I think. He remarked on the recycability of most 'trash,' so I'm guessing that's something he'll be working on. Thank you Mr. Civil Engineer for keeping me intellectually stimulated. Kinda. :)
No-call dates are fun, you know. I don't think I've ever had so much fun while being stood up. Note: While this is the only time I've been stood up, it really couldn't have been any more interesting.

I got my directory from Camp Spike 'n' Wave. Super exciting news, right? I know. I think I'll send picture books to my campers. :) (I've even got their birthdays!!)
I made a fish bowl. I've decided that I'm not responsible to care for another living entity, and I'll put money on any fish of mine dying within a week. My father helped me to finish my mosaic tabletop. I'll probably put up pictures showcasing my two accomplishments. I know everyone is dying to see them. Hopefully I'll have the design for my back pack completed soon, and I will be able to employ some cheap labor to assemble it for me. ;)
Man, I've been having some weird dreams lately. Some are really cool. There was one that reminded me of Crash or Vantage Point- I had a dream, but I relived the dream twice, as a different character both times, which was really useful because I could use the knowledge gained in the first round to complete my goals in the second. I guess it kinda sounds like a bad video game. hmmmm.

If you should receive a short, out-of-context question from me, I'm in one of those moods. It'd be cool if you answered.
Tomorrow I have plans to see the love of my life with Janelle. I'm excited. :)
Happy anniversary parents!
