alright, so most of my friends have fled off to college, or are going off this week. that leaves me being a sad panda, which, we all know is not a good thing. on the plus side it means that i'll be leaving soon too...that makes me a happy panda. .. well, mostly a tired panda. the reason i'm tired is simple. this past week i tried to spend every minute of the day that i wasn't at work with my friends. i didn't succeed as much as i wanted too, which is a shame, but they had commitments just as i did. again, on the plus side i have a new monitor for the compy and a new printer. my room is...partially cleaned out, i just have the closet and dresser to empty out, all of my books, i reiterate, ALL of my books are packed minus the book that i'm purchasing from Red before the 19th. that's a brief overview.

more in depth.

nothing really happened until august. i mean, in july i went to the STYX concert in milwaukee but that was it for july...that's not true. i met a great lady in july. her name is emily, and she is simply wonderful. funny, witty, logical, she speaks her mind, she's not hard on the eyes, she has a cute puppy, we can talk for hours (and have), hearing her ring on the cell will make my day. like i said, simply wonderful. but for the moment she is in germany for two weeks, then comes back for a night and ships off to davenport for school.

so...that brings us up to august. the first week of august i was in canada on a servent event with my youth group. then shit hit the fan. when i got home from that my temper got a lot shorter. i mean, i know i get pissed off very easily, but i'm usually better at not showing my anger. when i got back from canada i just let people know what i really thought of them, of how much they were wasting my time...yadda yadda yadda, you get the idea, i was mean. so, emily and i worked through our first fight about two of our friends. dad found out that i don't value his opinion. mom has discovered that i don't enjoy her company. and kate has...well, kate's been alright lately. i can relate to what she went through when she went to college. that's another thing. college just needs to get here. i'm sick and tired of wating, and wasting my time in this area. just let me get out there. ... oh well.

so, lately i've been praying for lots of patience, and understanding. i'd appreciate it if you kept that in mind if i ever snap at you. i apologize in advance. sorry.

so, yeah...in short...summer should be over.
