It's been a melancholia-kind of week actually. I'm not sure why. I hope it's just the weather and me being semi-sick/allergy ridden.

I started working at Wal-Mart this week. Yes, I have submited to the evil empire! Damn there being a shortage of part-time work in Stillwater. I hear rumors that we may be getting a Target here, if so I will be a traitor :)

I'm still in *cough* training at Wal-Mart, I have to go in tomorrow morn and finish it up. I work in the meat dept as a "Meat Packer" tee hee :) Mikel seems to enjoy me having that title :)

I think things are going well with me and Mikel. We have been busy lately, so I haven't gotten to spend as much time with him as I'd like. But hey, that just means I cherish the time we have together.

I have to work this weekend, so I don't get to go to the Bedlam game, and damn it, I have tickets! At least I'll get off work in time for Nikki's Halloween Party. Tomorrow is the Halloween party at Stonewall Tavern, I think that will be fun and Mikel was telling me about a party/art exhibit he want's to go to tomorrow, so that will be cool too.

I visited my family over the Fall Break this past weekend. I can't seem to handle family for more than 32 hours it seems. I hope its more that I just hate the area than not wanting to spend time with my family. If that makes sense. SE Oklahoma = crap! Pretty scenery in places, but blah to visit/live in.

I'm in Stigler tonight visiting my brother. I leave tomorrow to visit my mom, go antiquing and hit thrift stores etc. It seems like fun.

I did realize tonight why, when I lived in Stigler before, I blogged so much. There's not another damn thing to do here.

Oh, and my cell phone is roaming when I'm here (I think). Damn it! Thank god for him having SBC Total Connections. Must talk to Mikel! This is our first time apart in nearly a month. We've already called each other 4 times since noon :) Some say psycho. I say that it's sweet.

Lots to talk about, but little time to blog right now. So here's my update ... ... ...



Ya, exactly.


Ok. I added two new photo gallerys. One is of Me and Mikel and the other is of Me humping Chris.

Fun huh?

Tonight I went to see a production of "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" on campus with Mikel. The play was fine, but they could have had better actors. Especially for the part of "Big Papa"; since, he is supposed to be an overpowering-godesque figure. The actor playing Brick was excellent too. He looked damn good in shiney-silvery blue pajamas too.

We went to Ihop afterward (there were six of us there). I don't think I've had so many orders messed up at one table, in one night, as what had happened tonight. It was insane.

Things are going awesome with me and Mikel. It just gets better with every passing day. I keep waiting for something to happen, and for the bottom of fall out (so to speak) but nothing does. It just seems perfect. I'm enjoying taking things slow, getting to know him before moving forward. We have so much in common but enough differences to keep it interesting. Dare I say that I'm falling for him? Too soon to say for certain I think. But there is definatly potential for it to happen.

In other news: Me and Michael Cich have been playing Raquetball quite a bit lately; however, I'm still learning and not quite good enough to beat him (yet), but eventually that will change.

I'm missing Nikki. It seems like it has been a week since I last saw her, when really it's only been three days. Very odd. But I will see her/them tomorrow at dinner.

A strange thing happened yesterday. We came back to my room after leaving the bars (yes, a perk of living in Stout is you are less than a block from the bars). Sitting by my door, in the hall, was a Mickey-Mouse shaped plate full of choc-o-chip cookies. I have no clue who they are from. It simply had the message "Thanks. You are awesome" written on the plastic wrap. I have yet to eat them, since I don't know who they are from.

Another strange thing happened yesterday too. Me and Mikel were waiting around Chi O'Clock for Courtney before we went to the bars. Some guy, walking down the center of the library lawn from the formal garden area, was nearly nude. Walking in only his black-boxer briefs. Of course this peaked our interested. So we watched him. He walked up to the library and sat down on the ledge by the fountain. There were some other people sitting on the steps too. So we walked closer to see what was going on. The guy slid down to the side of the fountain and just sat there while we were watching. So we gave up on getting to see a "money" shot and walked back to the clock. Right after we had left, he must have slid into the water around the fountain and totally submerged himself. The next we saw him, he was walking down the sidewalk on the far side of the Library lawn, back toward the formal gardens, and was soaking wet.

This was toward all the frats, so was it a haze? Could it have been a bet? How about him just being drunk? It is also toward the strip where all the bars are.

Ok. What are the chances that I've actually met somone, so soon, that I absolutely adore?

Thus far, I can't get enough of Mikel. We are so similar and have much in common, right down to the odd quirks. Usually by this point I would have found something they do or say that annoys or bugs me that would set off an alarm like "hey, do I want to pursue this guy?"

This doesn't happen with him. Everything he says is like sitting at a stop light, waiting for something to go wrong but it all turn out to be perfect and get a green light.

He just left, we're having dinner tomorrow. I think this will be the first actual date where we are totally alone. Tonight he came over after he got off work and we (Me, Nikki, Chris and Michael Cich) had just got back from playing tennis. So we had company for a while, so we can't really talk like we need to and get to know each other with people here. Not yet anyway.

So far, we're still just hugging. I'm resisting the urge to kiss him every time we're together. I feel like I'm being lame at times, but I want it to be the right moment. He hasn't made a move either. Is he waiting for me, or for the right moment?

Oh well, it's not a big deal.

Ok, sleep for now.
