Esprit de l'escalier

I finished my paper for COM, watched the news, talked to a friend who’s probably going to visit SF during spring break and needs a place to stay, I paid a visit to Safety and Security to investigate a story I’m working on for the paper, because I forgot what story I’m supposed to be working on, I was told that I was pretty today (even though I didn’t bother to put on any make up this morning), I worked on making some Valentine’s today (but I also am suffering from some serious valentine-writers block), I got some reading done, I got a call today from the bookstore and I got a job! (I’ve been waiting for this job since my freshman year). I’m excited for tomorrow, my roommate is walking on cloud nine because Adam (her boyfriend) is coming, she’s all smiles. I’m all smiles too because I got a date with a really Godly man. The great thing is I know it’s totally a friend thing, so we’re going to have a lot of fun. Best part is he’s planning it all. 🙂 It’s nice to not have to worry about anything except smiling and having fun.
In other news, I got caught up with Kenny today…apparently he’s a bit busy himself. (Don’t ask…because I have no idea…yikes)

Jared sent me a letter. I got it in the mail on Wed. I was excited, so I went to find a place to sit down, open it and enjoy reading my handwritten mail. I get all comfortable in a booth in Falcon’s Landing (a nice little cafe-type place on lower campus). I pull out the letter, flip it over to open it and blast! “Open Valentine’s Day”….grrrr, I want to open it now!

I just got back from a Pantie Exchange Party. It was really fun. My whole floor met at our RLC’s (Residence Life Coordinator) apartment for ice cream and a pantie swapping time. I got these super cute Victoria Secret panties. It’s a pink thong with a butterfly on the front. (they totally reminded me of some you got, Loreanne!) I originally got this black and bright blue thong with black ribbons on the side that untie! haha. I’m glad I stole, hehe. I was the first person to pick from the pile so I had the opportunity to steal (and have my pick of all of them) at the very end. hehe. I needed new panties.

You would think by now, after writing news for The Falcon for over a year, that they would attribute my work accordingly. Once again, the wrong name was placed on another article that I worked really hard on. *sigh* So it goes…
Perhaps this time they will run a correction? No, probably not.

I’m an irredeemably eejitous, conservative, disgustingly generous, relatively well adjusted human being!

Pretty funny thing happened today. I was waiting in Weter hall to meet with the SMC program coordinator for an interview and I was a bit early. I was reading over stuff, getting questions prepared and I hear this low rumble. I look around and I don’t see anyone, so I figure it must be the ventilation or heater or something like that. But I kept hearing it and I could swear someone was snoring. Turns out, about a half hour later, this guy wakes himself up and sits up real fast like he was startled. haha. I felt so bad! I didn’t see him there because the back of the couch seats were turned toward me. I tried so hard not to laugh. haha. At least he got a good nap!
Well, I only have a few things on my plate this week. I have a few articles, I have a huge paper due thursday, a test weds, a meeting and a party thursday night, and I have my assistant news editor interview tomorrow night at 9pm…pray for me! I’m kind of nervous. I also have a Valentine’s Day panty exchange party tomorrow. I bought some really cute underwear today at Fred Meyer…I hope they fit whoever gets them!
Oh, and finally…I got that Food Critic information today that I was really worried about. I’m so excited to get started! It looks like it’s going to be a super fun job. What a blessing it will be if it all works out! Praise the Lord!

Hey girls,
Here’s another brief update. I was just asked out on a Valentine’s Day date with a really amazing man. His name is Josh and I had only known him as this far off senior/air force/really tall/blond guy, until recently. I actually don’t really remember when I first met him, but I knew it was through somebody else. Then this last quarter I suggested him as a roomies date for a friend. And I know that my roommate tried to set me up on a roomies date with him last quarter. (That was the roomies date that I met Greg – a.k.a RHMC guy). Anyhow, Josh called me up earlier today and left a message saying he wanted to know when I was available to talk because he wanted to stop by tonight to ask me something. I thought he was calling to ask something about a friend or something regarding the Falcon. Boy was I wrong! haha. So I called and left a message saying when I was available and he called back asking if he could stop by around 9pm. I said it would be fine (I was still clueless at this point) and he stopped by and asked me if I would like to go out with him this Friday. Now, I know…you’re gonna laugh at me, but I completely forgot that this Friday was V-Day. I’m a dork. Anyhow, I was shocked and I was like “that would be lovely!”. But of course I checked my calendar first. And then I checked it a second time, because I was buying time to think. You see, I had just a few days earlier, had a one on one with my PA and she told me she had a ‘little’ crush on him and I totally didn’t want to betray that. So I had still told him that I would be honored to go with him and he was such a gentleman about it! He asked me what kind of food I liked and everything and he apologized for asking on such late notice! He told me he’d call tomorrow after he made reservations and he’d let me know what time! I love it when guys plan ahead! Anyhow, about my dear friend the PA, I felt it was only right that I talk to her so I just got back from chatting with her about it. I explained to her what happened and told her I wouldn’t go on the date with him if she didn’t want me to. She was really cool about it and told me that it was actually a relief on her heart to know that he wasn’t interested. She said that it was nice to know because now she wasn’t worried about just relaxing and being his friend. He’s a really nice guy to everyone and she wasn’t sure if the attention she was getting was a hint. Anyhow, I’m pretty excited. Especially since I just got a bunch of quarters today and now I can do my laundry and I’ll be all set for Friday with clean clothes!!! haha.
I could go on about how Josh is this amazingly Godly man, but I think I should just put a lid on it and go to bed. But not before I mention that Jared is still calling and we still talk. Things have not changed. And I got a call from Brad yesterday also. He left for boot camp and he called to say good bye and he told me he would write.
oh oh! And you’ll never believe what Jared did. He has been emailing Brad for the last few weeks, and they have been talking about how their situations are similar now that Brad has enlisted and stuff. But Jared confessed to me yesterday that he asked Brad about me and he asked him what his ‘intentions’ were! Jared said something about how he didn’t want to step on Brad’s toes or anything. I thought that was admirable, but still…haha, I don’t even know what Brad’s intentions are. (Although I’d put money on it that my parents know!! haha). Anyway, God has been bringing a lot of wonderful men into my life and I am perfectly content to stay “Single and Spectacular” and fully absorbed in Him. He has been teaching me so much lately and I feel so much closer to Him. I had my small group meeting tonight and I spoke to them about establishing your identity and your focus fully and completely in God first and foremost. It was a great discussion.
Anyway, I should go to bed now. Goodnight girls and I hope all is well with you too!
