Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm.

Hello all.

Yeah the week in review thing didn't last very long. Mainly because the weeks became mirror images of themselves. Each one only vaugely different than the one that came before it. Nothing at all wrong with that. It means things are going well.

This Thursday I felt bad. Heather's power cord for her Apple laptop shorted out and burnt through the insulation. So she asked me if I'd go down with her to the Apple store and then to Hu Hot. Well, when we left I wasn't feeling very great, and it just got worse as the afternoon progressed. The Apple store lived up to the pretentious tone I expected it to have. (Don't get me wrong, I liked it a lot.) The only thing that was a little much for me was the "genius bar". Mainly because the overuse of the word genius is one of the things that really get to me. If I remember right, the employee had the title of "genius" too. If I were feeling better, I would of probably mocked it a lot more.

She got her cord replaced and we were off. She then asked if I was feeling good enough to go to Hu Hot. I said that I wasn't all that hungry because of how I felt. She then said that we didn't have to go. I told her it was her birthday so we should go. She then said that if I wasn't feeling good we didn't have to go. So we didn't go. She was in an extremely good mood on the way down, and on the way back she didn't talk at all. When she dropped me off, she just said "I'll see you later." Which isn't how things usually go.

She then told me later that night that she was upset that we didn't go. I then told her that I felt extremely horrible that we didn't go, since she really wanted to. She then seemed very touched that I felt horrible because of this. She then said something about ex boyfriends never caring if she was unhappy or something like that. So I think I scored some major points by just not being a jerk. Which is something I do normally. (well, ok, to people I like).

I just downloaded a program called CleverKeys. It's suppose to allow me to look up words from any program I'm using. It is the nerdiest thing ever. But if I can figure out how it's used, I am going to absolutely love it.

It looks as if Heather is going to be around Ames for awhile. Which is good. She's moving out of where she is living now, and that is an EXTREMELY wonderful thing. She's a great girl, but has some trust issues due to some recent events in her life. Living by herself I think will help that a lot. For those who haven't met her, you shouldn't feel too bad. She is extremely shy, so anytime there is a possiblility of new people she hasn't met being somewhere she'll try to get out of going. But once she meets people she is more comfortable with being around them.

Um, nothing much else. That's about it. Many books and albums coming out that I'm excited about, but no one is probably that interested in that.

Oh, the other thing that has been on my mind for a few months now is actually cutting the hair. This means it would be the end of an era I know, but sometimes change is good. If this happens it will probably happen when I do a massive clothing shopping excursion. I haven't bought new clothes, except for a shirt or pair of pants here and there, for a long time. My thought on the clothing was to go for a little nicer, dressier look. I just have to go and do this, as I've been thinking about doing this since about March. The haircut thing has actually been for awhile, but have only recently thought more about it in recent months. I was thinking of going with the Weaver or Garvey look. Ok, not really. I will probably still keep it kind of longish. Not super long. I feel comfortable when it's longer. But then again, I'm horrible with going in and getting it cut as regular as some people. That is how it got long in the first place.

All right, I've droned on long enough. Nothing like killing time by blogging. Fun times!

Until another time.
