and im back..
..back at a slow moving work that is...yeah...i think my days of playing catch up and having tons to do is quickly coming to a halt. i have a couple of things to keep me decently busy for this week, but after that it might be back to my monotonous days of checking my email every 15..i mean 5 minutes.
i guess some stuff has happened since d.c. that i still havent gotten around to writing about yet. kellum and joshs wedding for one. that was the weekend before last and it was good. nothing disasterous happened...nothing over the top...kinda just your typical wedding. i got to see some old friends from a&m though so that was fun. so, congrats alyssa and josh!
ooh..heres breaking news...i found a roommate and more importantly, a place to live. i actually met her off craigslist and to be honest was a little skeptical of the situation at first bc you never really know who you're dealing with on there. but i took the risk and to my relief she seems really cool. and normal! and her place is really cute. its an older complex with a lot of older couples so its on the quieter side and feels real homey. our place has a cute balcony that overlooks the courtyard with the pool and everything - ive always wanted that! but anyways...shes real laid back and letting me stay for as long or as short as id like for a great price. so thats exciting and ive slowly started to begin the packing/moving/going thru all my crap process. i always do this when im moving and try to condense my stuff bc i just hate moving it all...so everything gets asked the question, 'do i really need this??' and if the answer is no...to the trash or goodwill it goes! i soon realize that i have a lot of stuff i dont actually need.
i saw mr. and mrs. smith this weekend - so good!!!! i hate it when people get my expectations really high for movies and then they ultimately end in disappointment. however, mr. and mrs. smith is great - action packed and really funny...suprisingly, more a romantic comedy than anything else...but i wont say anything more about it...just go see it!
last week ben and i played a game called, find me a facebook boyfriend/girlfriend. he was in an office for the week with nothing to do all day and had access to the internet....kinda like my job on most days. anyways...we both claim we're excellent matchmakers so he thought the way to ultimately prove who was better was by each of us finding a good prospect for the other. so the rules were basically that we would each find what we thought to be the best match using facebook as our means. and just in case you dont know, facebook is kinda like an online yearbook or directory divided up by school. so anyways, once we found the ideal prospect for the other person we would share the name with the other. and then it was all in our own hands to start a friendship with this person to see if it was a match. this is the primary hole in the plan. i could very easily find a great match for ben...but once i put the reins in his grip its about as good as lost. so thats where i didnt agree that this 'game' would prove anything but i went ahead and consented to the idea bc of sole curiosity of who ben would pick out for me. oh, and winners he did find. one was a corps guy...another looked about 11 in his picture and was heading off to the army. evidently ben thinks i have a thing for guys in uniform? needless to say, i will not be pursuing any of his choices for friendship and im pretty sure that i will never allow ben to have anything to do with finding me the perfect man. i, on the other hand, found ben some great girls but he chose not to pursue them bc he said, if i wasnt going to then he wasnt. so in the end, we discovered that we're both superficial and shallow and we're both still single...awesome.
thats about it in my exciting life. hopefully ill have some earth shattering news for you soon...but doubtful.
