Telepictionary

So I'm back, in Austin, at UT, living in Jester, same room. I don't know if you felt the excitement that was pouring out of me as I typed that, but believe me there was a lot of it.

I've been telling myself to blog for about... Two (?) days now. I'm not too sure exactly on the time, I've had so much happen in the past few days that it's been a whirlwind of awesomeness.

I got help from Ann, Cathy, Lynn and Emily moving in on Thursday. I'm super grateful they were willing to help, it made the whole process go so much smoother. We went and ate at Pluckers, and then returned to hang out and just talk in my room while I put a few more of my things up. I then drove them home, and made the awesome (dreadful) walk from my parking spot to my dorm.

Friday I woke up to help Gerardo move in, but he assured me he didn't need help, and sent me back to bed. I then got up to meet Lynn and Ann, before heading to move Cathy in. Her parents are super nice, and it was cool getting to meet them. We helped Cathy organize her room, and I alphabetized her books on her bookshelf. Side note: She had 3 boxes of books, and she lives on the two and a half floor and there are no elevators. Those things are heavy! Haha.

After we got Cathy all moved in we decided to go eat, and Cathy, being super awful, paid for our food since we helped her move in. =P Gerardo crept up on us, on accident, which was super funny. We then went back to my room to play some Little Big Planet. Cathy got super addicted and was beating the rest of us. Whilst we were playing, Jacob arrived, so we felt bad playing and tried to help him move in, but there wasn't much he needed help with.

Following that, Jacob and his family invited me to dinner, which took place at Curras. It was a pretty great Enchilada, and I ate more of it than I thought I could.We returned, and went to Cathy's room, where we played Telepictionary a few times. We got some pretty great sequences out of that. We then returned to my room where we played more Little Big Planet. It was as enjoyable as it was before, and Cathy was continuing to be one of the better players consistently, which is super duper awesome. When we finished up our gaming, we walked Katherine to her dorm, then I walked Cathy to her dorm, because I didn't want her to get attacked in the middle of the night by some strange night attacker person.

Saturday, the Erics moved in, and I got to help the second Eric move in when he got here. We were able to get everything up in 2 trips, and then the move in help left so he could unpack and we wouldn't be in the way. We ended up playing more Little Big Planet, with Eric joining us once he was free.

I just got super distracted, and lost all trains of thought, and it's 2:30...

We saw One Day yesterday, and it was one of the greatest movies ever. I recommend it to all of you. I spent the whole movie going back and forth between thinking, "I want to be that guy!" and, "Well, I don't want to act that way." Honestly though, he had some super awesome redeeming qualities, even though he was a jerk and I thought he didn't deserve her.

Realistically though, I feel like I'm a lot like that. I'm stupid at times, and I hate myself for the way I act, or treat people. I'll say something that completely destroys someone, not with the intention of destroying them, just because it sounds right in my head. In a moment I can send a conversation in the opposite direction and not even know I did. I like to think though, that at the end of the day I've done more good things than jerkish things.

I know I can't erase my jerk moments by being doubly good. I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't and never will. When I watch romantic shows I'm reminded more and more that I'm not as good as I can be. We have these shows where the guy is always the jerk, and the girl is way more deserving than he or she realizes, and in the end he changes and they're happy with each other. I feel like that is so me, granted I'm sure it's a ton of people.

I'm the best friend, who doesn't always realize the blessings he's being given, and when he does he's too... Slow to act on it. If I were to be super honest right now, I'd tell you that I've given thought to the whole liking someone situation. Lots, and on several occasions felt as though I may have found someone who makes me happier than anyone else. I can't be sure, because I have to spend way too much time over thinking things, because I'm retarded.

Wow, umm... I think I'm off for the night, because I may have just talked myself into something I've been trying to do for a while now. I'll keep you posted.

Goodnight, and I hope everyone is enjoying the start of a new school year. =D
