So apparently some people actually do read this, and they even check my Listen-To excerpt in my AIM info. I feel so special. Amy & Meryl you two rock lol, nice to know I count as some kind of Real World spin off in your lives lol.

So so far this weekend has been totally awesome. I was really down in the dumps the past two weeks. There was just so much horrible stuff going on then, it was like I was waiting for the clouds to lift. So many family problems, not to mention the car incident, and the death of a childhood friend. But just as always things turn out for the good again. I drank at the house Friday night, forgoing Chuck's cuz Kathy was too tired and passed out early in the morning where she went out after that lol. We all headed over to Kelly and Kat's house and had some more drinking. Chilling on the porch and some VERY interesting conversations lol. The pictures from that night are pretty hilarious. Especially when Kelly took her rats out. The facial expressions alone are priceless. Saturday I was planning on going to this Pumpkin Festival in Cortland. Chris had told us about it, and there was some beer tent where for $20 you could drink all you want for 4 hours. It was pouring when I woke up though, and I decided I'd rather just chill and do a little work. Almost ended up going to see that Lost In Translation movie today with Megan and Jim, although backed out because I was feeling a bit exhausted. Got some work done, and took a glorious nap (the effects of which are evident by my being up this late lol) and then went out to Kathy's.

It was Dana's 21st birthday tonight, so I went out with the Sumner girls to Chuck's which is always a good time. Poor Dana...I wonder if she'll remember portions of her 21st lol. Half the house, either current members or past members, were at Chuck's, and a lot of other people I knew were there. Among the bunch were Amy & Meryl, and it was really good to see them. I miss hanging out with them and I'll have to make a point of trying to more this semester. If only work would lighten up a skotch I could get a lot more things done that I've been wanting to. As good as tonight was there was still a few points of glum news that I half expected, but even so didn't really care to find out the truth. As far as I know I really haven't discussed this with anyone so it's one of those "Pete keeps it on the inside" kind of deals. Maybe when Matt or Amar are up for the Halloween party I'll talk to them about it. I really can't wait for them to come. Christine had told me a day or so ago that she didn't think she'd be able to come up due to UConn's homecoming week falling on the weekend of the 25th. Today though she updated me and said screw homecoming, it was only some minor deal anyway she was missing. I'm really glad she'll be coming up. We were good friends freshman year of highschool and faded a bit after that. She's pretty bitter towards guys now, as she seems to have had some really bad experiences with a few relationships in the past couple of years. She came camping with us though over the 4th this past summer, and I think everyone who went ended up becoming better friends for it. Christine remembers that weekend and I'm sure she'd agree lololol.

Also Amar is definitely coming up, even if Matt doesn't get his act together contacting him lol. Apparently though Matt's gonna be up that Friday, maybe I'll hit the bars with them. I really can't wait to see him either. It sounds like he's doing well this fall and I really hope so, I know the past few semesters have been rough on him, and I hope it fares better lately. The party is going to be so amazing...I really hope I can pull off my costume by then; I'll be pretty upset if I can't.

Otherwise it's been the usual work and class deal every day lately. My boss is off for about a week's vacation so it'll be kinda quiet and hopefully I'll get a little work done at class and get more sleep as a result. Fixed the house's internet AGAIN, and this time it should be final so no one will come complaining it doesn't work. I should get paid for that :P Got to know Marisa a little better this week, really interesting girl. Then again if you're a girl and you even know what Family Guy is, you're awesome in my book. It was cool though that we seemed to share a lot in common and she's got a passion in her life which is quite a rarity especially. Marisa's big into dance, and has done it for years. She's in like three dance troupes on campus, and in a few shows too. I look forward to seeing one; I've been raised to appreciate dance since my mother was a big ballet dancer, and did a lot of other shows and such in NYC and Brooklyn. Way before I was born, but I've seen pictures, she was such a gorgeous dancer. I actually really enjoyed my niece's ballet recital I went to last June. Not that surprising, I've liked dance for some years now. In another world maybe I'd have learned some dance. I still want to learn ballroom dancing. Maybe one of the classes this semester or next... So it's cool that she's that dedicated to something, and dance is something you can be really passionate about. I admire people like that, and feel that there's too little of them left. It feels like we're in a day and age where people are shiftless and kinda just loaf around not really doing anything concrete in their spare time but sleep or play games. Rock on Marisa! lol

Time to go chill with Asa and catch up with him. Haven't seen enough of him lately.
