I Have a Tendency to Make Myself Laugh

Weekend Stuff...

Well I’m back to it. Back to work, back to job-hunting, back to the weekend updates… you know the usual stuff! This weekend was so busy it flew by. Unfortunately this was my last weekend with Vincent close by… it will now be about six months till I get to see him on a daily basis again. And I know, I know it’s good for us. People you don’t even need to say it… absence makes the heart grow fonder and so on and so forth… yeah I don’t care about that I just hope time flies and I’m glad he gets to spend this time with his family!

Friday: Friday we just packed. Pretty much for hours and hours we packed. Then it took us a few more hours (maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration) to move everything down to my truck (which was illegally parked in the garage). Let me just say that the UW on moving days is a mad house. People are all scrubby lookin’ and stinky. Yeah not Vincent but nearly every other man in the whole dormitory was nasty! When we finally moved all of Vincent’s stuff to my car he went to check how much money was on his card. He had about $14 left on there and the store was closed. So to save him the $14 we went to the nearest vending machine and cleaned it out! Yeah, I have licorice and jalapeno chips for days! Then we went off to Kent, moved everything into his new/temporary room, and relaxed for all of 10 minutes before hitting the road again! Since it was our Friday night/date night we decided we would just eat in so we went to Jones BBQ and got some ribs to go, grabbed a movie at Hollywood Video and went back to the empty dorm room. That was pretty much the extent of my Friday.

Saturday: Was really equally as busy. I cleaned my room and took care of some house cleaning things and then it was off to see Vincent for the last time at the U. It was fun and only sad when one of us would bring it up. It’s crazy that we are going from seeing each other everyday for hours to seeing each other three times a week and two of those times is church (and if you know us at church you know that doesn’t count for quality time). Anyway we hung out, took his TV to my place, worked on ministry stuff and then went for a walk around the UW for the last time with the RA perks. We went to this amazingly cool dormitory called Hansee Hall (I think). It’s all old school and brick with cool lights and a free game room. We played pool there and finally for the first time in a long time I beat Vincent at a game that requires skill! Go ahead and laugh but he beats me at nearly everything else so I am proud. After my victory we walked back to the empty dorm for the last time.

Sunday: I had the most frustrating Sunday morning I’ve had since I lived with my parents (nothing against them but waking up at 6am to go to church would frustrate anyone). I woke up to hear my roommate in the shower, which meant that I had to wait. It through off my whole morning but I bounced back leaving the house only about 5 minutes late. I go out to my car and hit the unlock button on my clicker thing and… my car does not unlock. So then I try to manually unlock it, which of course does not disable the alarm. So there I am in my Sunday sitting in my explorer with the alarm going off. Priceless. Since my car was unlocked improperly it refused to start. It took me about 5 minutes to get a hold of someone to take me to church. Once I finally got to church things went a whole lot smoother. Service was great and once it was over it was time to say goodbye to Vincent until Wednesday. We kept it from getting too sad and my brother took me to Radio Shack to fix my clicker. Once I got home I went to my room to change and saw that someone had been there. Vincent had left a card and some candy on my bed. It was really sweet and really made my day that much better. Then it was off to my parent’s house and to Wiley’s Baccalaureate (God knows I cant spell that word). It was great and Wiley did a great job. Then I went home, talked to Vincent and went to bed.  

So life is shifting for me right now. I have an interview tomorrow at 9:00am I already don’t think I want the job. What a waste of time. Well I should at least give it a shot! Until the next time I have something to write about… Linz
