Christmas with a little metal

So I didn't do my calculus homework yesterday because I was busy ROCKING MY PANTS OFF with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Pants is a funny word. So three hours of the closest experience I've ever had to a rock concert, and I wanna go again! The lights, the Christmas, the screaming guitars... the only damper was the big man with B.O. next to me! My date had fun too, but probably only an Ok amount compared to me.
So the guy gets up to the mike and starts singing a nice soft version of the the Holly and the Ivy, and all of a sudden he's screaming the carols like Steve Tyler on speed! I didn't know the concert would be so... hard, but it was still worth the trip and the zero in Calculus. I'm so ready for Christmas! pants

A Very Special Week in Texas

So there is this something stuck in one of my saliva glands in the bottom of my mouth. It really hurts to salivate. Fortunately, it finally came out today!! How satisfying... it did plague me for several weeks, along with a missing cap which exposes a nerve on one of my teeth (I was eating Mike and Ikes... what was I THINKING?!). The happiness of meal-time was a bit dampened, even on Thanksgiving.

But this is all beside the point. This past week was wonderful, a much needed break. Many of those who are reading this were right there along with me, so they know all the things that transpired, and I can sum it up pretty simply: good times with the family. My faith and family are my anchors to happiness. I should never get down, especially not this last bit of fall semester with Christmas just on the horizon. So bring it on Finals!! Fang will still be there whether I fail or not!

My return to school was greeted with three tests, a paper, and a super date tomorrow. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and yes, I have a female who has already agreed to go with me. I feel like it's the most wonderful time of the year!! Excuse me while I go dancing with myself...

My Date This Weekend

So the last post was written on Wednesday or so. Just for the record, pretty much the same thing happened on Friday. I almost put a hole in the wall with my head. Have you ever asked out someone who already has a significant other? I have before. It was fun then. Now it's just awkward, and disheartening... but it matters not, I am not down. How could I ever question the goodness in my life? So, I decided to take a trip to the temple on my own, and I knew then that I always have companionship. Actually, I was only reminded.
So that was my weekend, as well as Axis and Allies with a good friend, Nathan Kuhn (we dominated, yay for Japan!), and raquetball with another friend. Ya, I destroyed her, left handed AND in socks!!! Of course, with the word "her" I'm sure your thinking it's not a feat to be proud of. It's not really, but it was still tons of fun.
So who needs a date to enjoy the weekend? Well, I imagine it would make it quite a bit more enjoyable, but life can be enjoyed come what may.

Banging my head on the wall!!!

This Saturday is a perfect dating opportunity. Conditions are perfect: work is off, there's nothing good on TV, I know where I would take her and what we would do. There's only one missing element: THE FEMALE! I always have trouble with this one...

So I pray for opportunities. It's the Lord's will, right? And I go to work today and strike up a conversation with the girl from Folsom (completely unknown on the mission), and I feel like I should ask her about her weekend... instead I ask her about Thanksgiving plans and shortly afterward get back to working on my own, like a good prep-cook (this is at the Skyroom). As I signed out of work yet dateless, I felt incredibly disappointed in myself...

And that wasn't even the worst one.

Psychology comes around at noon, and there is a cute girl from my group who had beforehand said she would not be attending the class the rest of the week. "Hey you're here!" "Ya, I don't know why I'm here, I just felt like coming." And we talked... about Thanksgiving break. And the bell eventually rang, I knew my opportunity was here, and I let her walk away. She's in a jazz choir too!!

Do you ever get that feeling of missing golden opportunities, and knowing you may never have them again? Almost like the Lord prompted me to ask them out, and I missed it. It was hardcore depressing, up until I went to Scoreboard grill and indulged in saturated fats. But now it's back because I'm writing about it. I feel like giving myself a swirly, or sleeping from now until Thanksgiving break, whick I LOVE to talk about so much!

Lately

So it's been a while since I've put a serious blog here. The last one I suppose was kind of down. But lately, wonderful things have been happening in my regular life!
I got to attend the temple for the first time since I've been up here. I also went to stake conference today, as well as a fireside on dating. I made a commitment to try and get more girls in EYE LOCKS!! (Let's play a game called "How many girls can you creep out in one day?") School is going well, work is going well, the social clime is bout the same but it's no big (because my relationship with my Savior is what is most important, and that's still strong), and on top of it all, the Rockets are rocking my world! Hoowah!
Oh yeah, Jonno was here last week. We had fun. But he never beat me up like he promised to... Am I the only man of my word around here?

Embaressing Moments: One of Many

So I'm pretty talented. I can tie my shoe WHILE I am walking... or rather hopping on one foot. It saves time. So on my way back from the RB, I thought I could tie my shoe while walking UP THE STEPS!

It was pretty embaressing.
