I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who reads my blog and offers support and advice, to all the great people I've met in Live Chat, to everyone I so enjoy interacting with on the message boards, and in general to the entire GA community, be they actively vocal or a silent reader. This is a great place and I've met so many amazing people here. I could never thank everyone enough for the kindess, support, and good times you've all given me, nor could I say enough in praise of Myr and GACs for keeping everything running so smoothly. And I DEFINITELY can't begin to thank the authors around here enough for the quality art they create, which has not only kept me delightfully entertained, but also given me new hope and courage. So my humble appreciation goes out most sincerely to you all.

So today was good. It was very nice weather, I'm completely over that amazingly brief cold, and I had quite a bit of fun.

My second class of the day is Latin, and I pretty much go to the bathroom before and after every class. I drink ALOT of water, I usually figure a minimum of 20 oz an hour with at least triple that for meal times. So anyway I was in the bathroom (lol gotta love stories that start like that) and I ran into my Latin Prof. (his class was next). So anyway I say hi and start to leave but he stops me. And he askes me if I'd spent alot of time reviewing before I got in the class or something, and says that I'm doing REALLY well and he's really impressed. So we have this nice chat while walking to class, during which he just keeps on praising my performance. So of course I was really pleased. There's just one problem. I SUCK AT LATIN! I really suspect I'm one of his weakest students, not one of his strongest. I'm in the 3rd semester, but I still haven't bothered to learn my noun or verb endings. The only reason I seem to be doing well is because we haven't had a test yet, and the quizzes haven't been that hard, and I've just been studying a little bit for them the morning of the class. I also have a tendency to speak up in groups/crowds etc. I don't know why, just the way I am. So anyway I do answer questions often in class, but that's just because this is actually my SECOND time doing this stuff, I dropped the class last semester when I had it with a different Prof. So I remember alot of the stuff (at this point, in about 3 weeks It'll all be new to me), and I'm not shy about answering. Anyway so now I'm worried about the test coming up on Wednesday. See I try to live up to my own expectations and the expectations of the prof/my classmates/family/friends/whatever. But in the case of Latin I was perfectly willing to just make any passing grade and get the heck out of there. I seriously wouldn't mind making a D, I mean it's my last semester and it can't really impact my GPA that much. But now that he thinks I'm good in it...........Crud! I feel obligated to try.

Anyway so next I had lunch. I believe I've already mentioned before about this place on the 3rd floor of our Union that I just can't get enough of (it was in my post "The Cherries aren't the only thing Jubilant"). So this semester I've been going there pretty often, at least twice a week. Well I'm always raving about the place at work. So today I arranged to meet two of my work friends there so they could try it. They picked a great day too, the menu was awesome today! And they really enjoyed it. I also insisted on treating since I was the one always talking the place up. I love buying people stuff!

Anyway I had work in the afternoon. It was good today, everyone was in a good mood. You guys remember me mentioning my friend/coworker, Patrick? Who was gay and worried about the fact that lately he'd been attracted to girls as well? Well he's in an interesting situation. He's got this guy who just asked him out to a superbowl party, that he's interested in and might start dating. BUT he's also got this girl he interested in, and wants to ask out. The guy is a blonde dancer/gymnast, and sounds HOT. Well lets face it I've got a huge thing for blondes, and gymnasts always seem hot. The girl is this sexy red-head he knows through friends and went out to eat with the other night. She sounded pretty attractive too, and they both sound like cool people. He DOESN'T want to try to date both at the same time ( ). He just can't make up his mind which one he wants to pursue. Personally I'm leaning blonde gymnast, but I kinda think it would be good for him to date the girl, I mean it's something he's been wanting to do for awhile, and it would probably do him good to explore that side of himself. Anyway I'm just proud of him for being open-minded about his attractions and feelings. When another co-worker overheard us though he had some explaining to do......I think he "went in" today .....llol but of course everyone was cool (if not surprised) about it.

So I've made a decision. I have ALOT to do with regards to school, looking for a job, getting everything in order for the move, plus continuing to work. And I've been spending WAY too much time online lately. So I'm going to cut back. So hopefully, while I'm not "leaving", you guys won't be seeing quite as much of me for the next couple of weeks. I think I'm going to only allow myself to check this site ONCE a day, and for no more than an hour or so.

Anyway take care everyone and you all ROCK!

Kevin
