Oh Goodness...

It's been 5 years since 9/11. It doesn't feel like it...does it? Crazy. I still remember it as vividly as it was yesterday...what I did all day...who I walked out of buildings with...who I ate with...what we talked about in class...everything. I guess that's stuff you'll never forget.

Friday...I played Pictionary. I know your jealous...don't lie.

****

Saturday...I ran a mini-marathon in Bloomington, IN. It was the hardest race I have ever done. There was not one single flat part in the whole entire course. It was either uphill or downhill the whole entire way. OUCH!!!! Somehow or the other...I sitll managed to run my fastest mini time by 10 minutes!!! I can't wait to see what will happen on a flat course!

Here is me after the race thinking to myself...why in the world did I decide to run that???

Sunday...I went to opening night at the symphony with my mom. It was really cool. I like the symphony. There was a big reception beforehand because it was opening night. They had free margaritas! I love tequilla... They had free wine...and free food too...so yeah... I liked a lot...

******

After the symphony...I trotted on down to the South Side to watch the very first Colts game. I had not had BWs in forever. I forgot how good it was. Colts won...but it was close...I'm so excited it's football season again!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOO!

and now...I'm back at school :(

random bit of info...

I'm going to run in the Berbee Derby...how about you Thom???

So, at the end of October, I'm going to do a little 5k called Run Like Hell. It's the same day as the Pleasant Run Run...which I also plan on doing. The 5k will just be for fun...and I plan on running it with Jessie. You are supposed to dress up for this run. Any suggestions for costumes? Come on...throw them out there. Don't be shy.

For those of you who have facebook (and for those who don't)...it got pretty dang creepy this week. Don't you think? It became very stalker friendly overnight.

Tonight...I'm going to play Pictionairy. That's right...be jealous.

Some lady shot her husband because he killed her pet chicken. Be glad your day wasn't like his...or the chicken.

I want to do a little roll call...if you are reading this...please just raise your hand (or hit the comment button) and say HERE!

COLTS SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I tell you that the COLTS play on Sunday????

yep.

I'm out....

Seriously???

So, I'm sitting here working in the computer lab. In the computer lab, I help people with their Maple projects. Maple is a program that allows you to make various math functions and such the like. Calculus students have to do these projects. Everybody is doing their first project right now. All they have to do is follow the steps word for word. So, the first step is to type your name and your date. This is what it looks like:

> # your name and today's date

So, some kid needs help printing is maple project. I go to help him, and I notice that he has typed the line above EXACTLY as it is on his paper. He didn't put his own name...it made me chuckle...and I didn't correct him. I figured I'd give the teacher a chuckle too. SERIOUSLY???

****

Last night, I was driving. I was exiting the interstate. I went to stop at the light. It was wet outside. My car slid...did a complete 180. I was pretty sure it was going to flip over. It scared me a little. Luckily...it didn't flip over...and it didn't even go off the road. Jeeps can turn on a dime.

****

There's a possibility that a club my grandma belongs to is going to give me a huge chunk of what I need for Team in Training...more on that later...

****

joke for you: It came off my package of oatmeal today...

What has a lot of ears but does not hear?

Now go check the comments...do it...do it!!!!

woo...the weekend is over.

I went climbing. See...

It was good times. I want to get way better...so then maybe I can lead routes instead of top roping... Some day...some day...

Anyway...I am so bruised and scraped...my arm...my knees...my hands. I beat myself up. Some of it was probably needless, but I kept beating myself...dang rocks.

Had fun staying at Miguel's. I went down to Kentucky with the brian math...and a couple of his friends. His friends were cool, and we had a lot of fun hanging out. Climb during the day, drink beer at night. I am so lucky to have Brian as a friend. Not very many people get the chance to have an experienced climber get them started. I mean, I just started climbing this summer, and I've gotten to go down to the Red twice now and visit five different crags. I'm glad he's patient with me. Plus, he knows lots of people. I like meeting new people.

So yeah, good stuff. I'm running a mini-marathon this weekend. I hope my soreness from this past weekend goes away...

Other than that...life is good...

I almost died last weekend...

It's true. I was in Jessie's car, and we were pulling out of a parking lot...we had a green light...a car came speeding through a red light. Luckily, Jessie's car had enough get up and go to get us out of harm's way. It was sort of scary.

I broke 100 for the first time in bowling. That was super. I kicked 100's ass as Patrick so put it.

We also got to drink from a 64 oz. beer bottle. Don't believe me? Well here's proof:



There you have it.

Digital cameras rock. You can take pictures of whatever you feel like. It doesn't matter, and it doesn't cost you anything to see them. I like it. That's basically the whole reason why we got the beer. To take pictures. Sad sad...we are pathetic...and we know it.

I'm working in the Math Assistance Center computer lab right now. Let me tell you, people ask the most ridiculous questions. I just want to say...are you kidding me? Are you that stupid? I don't though. I'm nice.
