Compliments

I have been at my sister's this weekend so I hang out with her and her friends and I go where she goes. Yesterday, we were walking to a house not far from hers to watch a movie, so I decided I didn't need to get fancy or anything. I threw on my favorite sweatshirt and a pair of basketball shorts with my comfy moccasins. We were walking down the sidewalk when we ran into a girl she knew. After talking to her for awhile, I realized that this girl wasn't going to be one of my best friends... She looked at my outfit and said

'How old are you? (20) Oh, yeah, I used to dress like you, but now I have style.'

The Cat Lady

Alright Netflix streaming error N8107-154-5006, I don't have time for you! I was patient at first, but now you've just ruined my evening. Ok when did my life get so boring? People, I need a job, I need school, I need a new house, maybe some new friends (not that I don't love my currents ones, they just are not present in my life) and I need it to preferably be soon. Deal? I have hit a snag with WSU and they are not so helpful in the 'request more information' department. We've been playing phone tag for about a week and I am so almost ready to just move to Europe and forget about my responsibilities as an adult. The most productive thing I did today was flirt with a 2 year old at Wendy's. Sound sketchy? It was his fault, not mine. I was standing in line and his dad was holding him and he would bury his face in his dads neck, peek out, smile at me hugely, then go back to hiding. It was pretty cute. Then he got to laughing out loud when I would smile at him and his dad took him away. Ha. I am creepy. Then, ironically enough they sat by us, and we were allowed to continue our game. It was a great night. Also, I raked 9234980k3824j0238 leaves. Proof below.

Now, if only boys my own age could love me as much as this little boy did, I would be going places.  Literally...like on a date. 

aaand we'll throw in a picture of my brother for good measure... 

and one of me with the friendsies

and a little proof that I am indeed a good kid and go to church :)

Awkward

Here is a story. It's the best I can do today. I've been feeling a little sickly as you may have heard. You can call me lazy or whatever you want, but I like to take it easy around here. Around 6 tonight I decided it finally was time to get in the shower because I had to go to my church and play the piano for a little group doing a song, and I figured the least I could do was be presentable. After I got out, I went into the living room for a second to check something on my mom's computer before I went downstairs. Being the only one home, I didn't think it would be a big deal. I did happen to notice the front door was open and the porch light was on, but I didn't think too much of that. Suddenly, I hear a knock on the screen door. I froze in place while a million scenarios ran through my head: Run for it and risk being seen, stay on the couch and hope they don't open the door, talk out loud and tell them I was in a towel, answer the door in said towel and hope it was one of my moms female friends who would understand why I was standing there in a towel, or do nothing. I chose option A and ran for it. I bolted into my brothers' bedroom and turned off the light. (in stressful situations I like to think that the dark will solve all my problems) The person at the door then rang the doorbell. All the lights are on in the house and the door is open, so I suppose they just figured I was taking my time answering the door. I am almost positive they heard me run across the living room as well. After the 3rd ring, they gave up and left. I stayed in the room for a second making sure I was clear and then went to close the door. As I got to the door I look out and see them sitting in a big silver truck just waiting outside my house. So I, being the rational person I am, turn off the living room lights and shut the door. I honestly had no idea what else to do. I'm sure they were really confused as to why I wouldn't answer the door and I just wish I could have explained myself or at least had someone else here to do it for me! I'm sure they thought I was rude or something. I then ran downstairs and dressed myself faster than I've ever  put clothes on before. Moral of the story: Always get dressed after you shower.

                                                        And this is my other issue:

What does it tell you when I get on the family computer and type in a 'w' into the address bar, and Webkinz pops right up? I live in a family of preschoolers.

ps: I made up that address as my title, it being the first thing that popped into my head. Out of curiosity I went there. Its a real site. People are so cool.

90's Kids

If you were born in the 90's, you will know what I mean when I say PB&J Otter made me think this was an impossible thing to have in my life...turns out, it's real. I need this when I grow up.

I Just Wanna Be OK!

Ok, this is getting ridiculous! I have been sick since Monday night. I didn't even go to work yesterday! Lucky for me, those hard workers I work with finished the field yesterday so now all we have to do is clean up! Which sounds a lot more fun than I'm sure it actually is. I have got a lot of sleeping done (pretty sure I caught up for the month)...Yesterday I went to bed at 5 and woke up this morning at 8. That's called 15 hours of sleep people. My mom keeps making fun of me because my voice cuts in and out in volume and tone. I mostly have lowered my voice level by at least a gender. So, for now I will just be a quiet man.

The one thing I did accomplish was updating my sisters blog and if you know her, let me know and I will accept you and allow you to read it. It's pretty good if I do say so myself.

Spread Those Wings

It has finally happened. The moment we (well me at least) have all been waiting for. I got my acceptance letter to Washington State University! I have been waiting for this for at least a month. I will be going to Kennewick, Washington for a semester of school in January and if all goes well, will graduate from there (don't worry, not any time soon or anything). I still have a lot of details to figure out and I have a lot of things to do before I go, but I am up for the challenge. I kind of feels like I am writing an obituary to my old life and completely gearing up for a new one, and for me,  it feels kind of weird. I already did the whole college scene and was not too impressed with what it had to offer, so maybe things will be different this time around. What I do know is that I am ready to start a life for myself and I know I can't do that from the basement of my parents house. I am grateful they gave me this opportunity to get a hold of myself and figure out what I wanted, instead of just shoving me out of the house in search of a new beginning. I guess it just really kind of hit me that this is what I want, and I'm excited to be able to have this opportunity. It's not everyday that you make a future for yourself.

Ok, all this deepness is really hard to come by so we'll just be done with this sentimentality for now.
