Uplifting.

Yay for friends!

This weekend, I was dreading going home... I knew that I had a ton of stuff to do for work, TEC, school and life in general and I didn't want to go home. Then again, when I leave to come back, I don't want to come back either so it seems like a tough choice either way.

So, I decided that hanging out with my friends was something I needed to do this weekend. I needed a break and I keep getting told that I don't make enough time just for me in the week. It's weird because I have had people in the past tell me I'm selfish and think about myself too much and then I had a few people tell me to take more "me" time. :S Anyway, I got the chance to hang out with Emily and Jordan a lot this weekend. We had movie nights at my house both Friday and Saturday and tried to go swimming when I was off work Saturday but the pool was closed. We watched "Grease" and "Serendipity" on Friday (Em and Jordan wanted to see the first and I had just bought the second) and Matt hung out for the first and left before we started the second. On Saturday we rented movies and I let Em and Jordan pick and they chose "Rent" and "Transamerica." I'm not sure if this was a "musical" weekend or if Saturday was a "gay themed night" but they were an interesting choice. I love Rent and I was amazed they chose it. Transamerica was interesting... The actress who plays the "father" did an excellent job. Matt and Meghan joined us for those two and it was nice to have people around. I often feel like there is no one around when I'm in the Bridge and I can't do things like this weekend all the time but sometimes it makes for a nice change of pace. I love hanging out with Jordan and Emily... Every time is completely different! We always have a ton of fun, whether we are completely serious or insanely silly and I love it!

I also read a bunch of my friends blogs in the past couple of days. I ahven't been able to keep up with them very well because I have been without internet access. It's cool to read what is going on in people's lives...

Random things... I'm not sure what to make of these two guys I talk to on MySpace and Nex occasionally. They seem to be flirsting with me and I'm considering it harmless but... One's display pic is of him cuddling a teddy bear and the other keeps commenting on my eyes. :S Guys are strange creatures!

Speaking of strange creatures or circumstances I guess, my mom has decided she needs a part-time job and has decided to go apply at DHL. She figures if she can carry an 8 foot long box by herself, she could turn it into something profitable. I laughed my butt off when she called me to tell me that. I know she's kidding but it was definitely amusing!

I posted about TEC on the Nexopia Christian forums and it would be cool if people come check out THING and such. It would be cool to know that my posting an itty-bitty topic made people notice that there were things going on.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. I have pent-up energy... I spent the last hour and a bit working on a theory assignment for my conducting class. I now have the instrumentation for "O Canada" written out for something like 14 different Wind Orchestra instruments. Why? Because my prof thought it was a good idea apparently! Night!
