Ok, let's go ahead and forget whatever I mentioned about the "other girl" out here. That was like a momentary lapse in judgment. She's not my type and I'm not hers....she's just the only one that likes to go out around here so we end up hanging out a lot.
Last night was a pretty fun evening. Me, two other girls, and these two older Wartburg People went to an Agatha Christy murder mystery dinner theater. It was a really good time...but we didn't get back until around 10:30 or so. Of course nobody else wanted to go out, so me and the other girl ended up going out to our usual bar -- Barry's on Broadway. It's a really great place to just go and talk...it's definitely by favorite in our area. Every time that we've gone, we've seen this older guy there helping out with the bartender, but we didn't know who he was. So last night me and the other girl asked him if he was the "Barry" and he was. So we talked with him for a while...he's a good guy. Then we went to another bar and stayed there until close. Incidentally, the bartender at this other bar (It's the Czech place, if you remember that story) remembered me. As I was walking to the bathroom, he was like...."Hey, I remember you!" And then he pointed to his chest and yelled "SWEEEEET!" Yes, the last time I was there, I was wearing my "Sweet" shirt. hahahaha....good times. Then we went out for a slice of Pizza at this awesome New York Style pizza place that stays open until 3 a.m. OH, by this time the other girl had picked up this guy "Mike" and we were talking with him. He seemed like a good guy. I think she's going to meet him for drinks at Barry's tonight....and I'll probably end up going again.
This past week at my internship was pretty dang boring, I'm not going to lie. I literally did absolutely NOTHING! But now this next week is going to be hectic, so I guess it all evens out in the long run. Actually, I did some good work on my Book idea. Although I didn't get the idea to work on it until Thursday...so I didn't get that much done...but I'm progressing the plot line nicely. My desk is actually a great place to do some creative writing. I put my headphones on and just lose myself inside my mind. Things will be going on around me and I'll be totally oblivious....two hours went by at one point and I didn't even notice. That's the best when that happens. It's like I'm creating a movie inside my head and It's coming out on paper. And that's why I love to write. Awesome.
I dont' know if you remember me mentioning a short story that I wrote right when I first came out here....it was inspired by Ann, but not really about her....but anyway, I had someone back at Wartburg do some editing on it for me and then I emailed it to Wartburg's literary magazine, The Castle, on the very last day submissions were being accepted. I would love for my work to make it in again, but the reason I submitted it was more because I need to start writing more stuff like that and submit it to other literary magazines. 'Cause it's great that I've gotten published through a newspaper...but I don't necessarily want to be a reporter....I want to be a novelist and I need to get my fiction published so that people start to recognize my name....and that means I need to get writing....but first I want to finish this book....which probably isn't going to happen in the near future, but hopefully I get some good work done this summer while I'm living alone. yay!
At any rate, I felt that I should give you guys an update, so there it was. Now I'm going to go watch TV or something until I have to go to a stupid meeting at 6 pm...un-be-lievable.

Wow....I'm in a really weird state of mind right now. I just got done watching a movie with someone out here....more on that in a little bit. I feel like I'm back at home during the summer time. It's the middle of the night...I've had a few drinks...and I can't sleep. So here I am, sitting downstairs typing away, listening to Pink Floyd (The Wall). Which is making me a little paranoid...but you know, that'll happen occasionally. I was just sitting in the dark, but I kept on getting freaked out, due to the music....so I had to turn on the lights. hahahahaha....it's a good thing I don't smoke pot. yeah.
So anyway, lately I've been hanging out a lot with one girl in particular out here. Her personality kind of reminds me of Suz....only nicer...but still....that should be a warning sign. She's kind of the flirty girl and I can't tell if she like me or not, or if she's just being flirty. Like the other night, I was just kind of sitting around doing nothing, since I really didn't feel like drinking, but she and I ended up going to the bar across the street for a drink. Well, I happened to see a few guys that I met there last weekend and they asked what I was up to as me and this girl were leaving...and just said, "oh, just going out for a drink." It was just among two friends, but as I said it, I was aware that it sounded like we were on a date...but she said nothing to clear it up. Then I watched a movie in her apt. while she worked on a project. Then today, we were at the premiere of "The Year of the Yao" in downtown Denver with a bunch of Wartburg people and she and I ended up leaving early together. Innocent, I know. She went out to eat with some family, but then later on she and I went out together for a few more drinks. *BUT* as we were walking to the bar, she was like...."I want to get somebody's number tonight" so she's not interested in me, huh.
But at the same time, I get these vibes from her...especially when we were watching the movie tonight...and then were talking afterwards. But at the same time, she talks about how a lot of guys think she's flirting with them when she's just being nice. Grrr. It's weird.
And then there's Ann. hmmmm. And I have no idea what's up there. Absolutely no idea. I'd be so much easier if I had a clue of some sorts....but i got nothing.
And with that, I'm going to bed. I'll probably have to talk this over with Meredith tomorrow. So it goes.
