There was a wedding? Between my brother and Jessica? OH-EM-GEE!
That was awesome, and one of the best nights of my life. I'll blog about it later, still hanging with the fam/fam. =D

Print "NS Google Sonic Part 2"
So, Brian texted me this morning with a restaurant to go to for brunch. Well, by the time Summer and I got headed out he told us they were closed, and to head to McDonalds.
His directions were, "Right next to an HEB, across the street from the Sonic we ate at."
I headed to the HEB I thought he was talking about that had a McDonalds by it, and it wasn't the right one. Also, no Sonic in sight. I then headed to the Sonic we had eaten at. There was no HEB, or McDonalds in sight.
...
So, we called Brian, and he realized that it was a different Sonic, and to head down the road. It was like... 15 minutes, according to Summer, from the Sonic we ate at.
We showed up, and they had eaten, and were going crazy collecting the Monopoly pieces. =P
After we ate, and semi-stalked the little boy with the Mario hat, we headed over to Ian's house. We sat around and watched The Fantasy Factory, and Brian told Carrie that I was uber tickleish. Darn him. Haha.
We said our goodbyes around 3, and Summer and I left to come back to UT, where I am currently suffering from the Post Disney World High, or PDWH Syndrome (It should be official!).
Called my family, had my mom talk me back up, and now I'm working on getting a huge head start on my homework. Haha.
Wedding Friday! The Best Man is so excited it's not even funny. =P
Then Dallas! Woot! So much good stuff in October. Then Thanksgiving in October, and then Christmas Break. CRAZY!

Print "NS Google Sonic"
I found a Sonic today, while driving back from getting Brian at Ian's house. First Sonic I'd seen in Austin, so I pulled into it, rather hastily, and got us some lunch. Vanilla Creme Cokes. =D
Ok, before I continue with today, I'm gonna go back to Friday, because I feel like I emo skipped over it. It was actually really good, so here goes.
Around lunch time, I found out my 2:00 Logic class got cancelled, which just gave me more time to lay around and wait for Brian. I texted him a couple of times to check his status, and then took a pretty good napish thing while waiting. When he was finally in town and at the house, he sent me the address, and I Google mapped it. I wrote the directions down and ran to Jester East to get Summer.
When I got in Jester East I saw Jacob and Norman, so I went to say hey. They were working on their projects for our Java class, and so I got to sit down with them and help them with their code. =D
Summer came down, and as we were about to head out Brian told me to instead just head to this restaurant, Verdes. Luckily, Jacob had his laptop, and willingly searched for directions from UT. He showed them to me, and I erased our old instructions, and wrote the new ones. We said our goodbyes, and headed to the car.
We finally made it to my car, and started the drive. It was starting to get dark, so we were hoping all our directions were correct. We were going good, until we couldn't find the street, and ended up calling Brian. He didn't know where we were, or Ian (his friend who lives here), but thankfully the waitress was able to get us to the restaurant.
In our defense, it was dark and hard for Summer to read the directions.
Well, we got there, and Brian greeted us at the door with a huge hug. I miss that guy with everything in me that is capable of missing someone. We then went over to the table, and introduced ourselves to Carrie and Ian. Both of them are really awesome people, and it was fun getting to meet them and do dinners. I'm not sure I could describe Ian based off of anyone else that I know, but Carrie is like a mixture between Meghan and Kelcey (With a quarter Mexican thrown in). We sat down, and ordered our food, and just talked.
I'm pretty sure there could have been no food, and it still would have been great. We talked about everything, and I'm pretty sure I heard at least 30 stories over the course of the night. Brian showed us some of his new Pyro tricks, which only furthered my believe that Carrie (Who was quite the Pyro herself) was Meghan in a different form. We called it a night after we'd stayed there an hour after the restaurant closed (according to Ian), only to find out it was only 8 minutes past closing.
We went our separate ways for the night, and got back around 11-ish I want to say. I didn't get to bed until 2 in the morning, but I set my alarms for 8:30, 8:45, and 9:00, since Brian said he'd be up at 10. I woke up to find that he stayed up till 2 as well, so he wouldn't be ready till 11. I fell back to sleep till 10, and then got up to shower, and go get my car, and some gas.
I texted him at 11, and he told me he was ready. By the time he asked when I was coming, I was already headed out to Ian's house.
Ok, now remember how I erased the directions to Ian's house to put the directions to Verdes? Well, I did, and even better I didn't have that receipt that I wrote it on. Well, I remembered the first half, and then had an idea for the rest. I drove for a while, before texting Brian and asking if he remembered the directions from the restaurant. He then asked if I was there, to which I replied I had technically passed it.
He took a few more minutes to find some stuff, and I found this street Oak Ridge, which sounded familiar so I went down it. WRONG. I did a u-turn, and got back to the road I was just on, and went right again. A little bit later I saw Heritage Oak, and thought that was really familiar, so I turned down it. Brian had just happened to call, and asked what street I was on.
I told him Heritage Oak, to which he said, "Heritage Oak? That's here!" (Something along those lines, he was partially talking to Ian in the background.) I told him how I was surprised that I had actually guessed the right street without having seen directions since the day before for a few minutes. He then asked if I saw a fork in the road. I told him I saw Not-Simba. (Not-Simba is Carrie's car, and Brian is convinced his name is Simba, but Carrie, Ian, Summer and I don't see it as a Simba.)
He was shocked, and I could hear Ian telling him I was there. I parked, and Brian came out and hopped in the car. We took off, and I told him I was going back to around UT, because I didn't really know anything else around Austin. Right around this time, is when I swerved into the Sonic, because I was really craving Sonic at that moment, and Brian and I hadn't made a Sonic run in forever.
It was epic! From there, I ended up taking him to Toy Joy, the only real place I'd been. He got himself a Sock Monkey Kit. He's excited to build himself that bad boy. Haha. From there we stumbled upon Austin Books and Comics. It was epic!!! There was this huge Hulk, and it was just great! I had to text Brison, and Stickley because it was so awesome. We then found Waterloo Records, where Brian found himself Citizen Kane, which he has been looking for for forever. After Waterloo, we hit up Book People, and spent a good chunk of time going through their books. He found this awesome one about camera angles, and stuff, and I found a cool writing book.
We both had a very good amount of shopping/hanging out. LOVED IT!
Summer finally sent us the "I'm off of work now." text, and we headed back to the campus. I finally got to park next to Jester, and we went to my dorm room and watched some videos. It was pretty great. We finally got Summer, and went out to my car, when we got the news of where we were going to eat. They had Hula Hut in mind, and so Summer with her directionist skills sent us on our way. At first, we ended up going the wrong way, but I got us back around and on the right path.
We then showed up at the Hula Hut right when Ian and his family did, and we got us a table reserved then sat out on the deck. It was really cool, and Lake Travis is beautiful. =D
We got out table, and got drinks, and queso while we waited for Carrie and her friend. They showed up, and we had our dinner. It was a blast, aside from our waitress who kept forgetting everything. =P
We again, spent the whole time talking, and just hanging out. I'm a fan of that. Ian and I split some Fajitas, and it was great! I over ate though, which may be good since I don't usually eat. Haha.
All in all, it was a really good night. I got to give Ian and Brian a drive back to his house, and we said our goodbyes in case we don't get to tomorrow.
=( I don't want him to go again. He has to though, and over all, I'm glad he has an awesome set of friends, and I know he's doing what he need to be doing. Only Brian. =D
So, I hope everyone's Saturday/Friday has been as great as mine. =D

I feel like one, and I don't just want someone to tell me I'm not, I just want to vent for a bit, and this is the best place for me to do that. If you would prefer not to read this then I'm alright with that, but I need to say this.
This weekend, has just started. Basically, I've had dinner, and that's about it. Here's the dealio, Brian is visiting Austin, with two of his friends, Carrie and Ian. Now, don't get me wrong at all, both Carrie and Ian are awesome, and I am so uber glad Brian's in town. I love that kid, like I can't explain it at all.
However, I find myself over thinking everything. After watching Brian interact with Ian and Carrie, I couldn't help but feel like a fail. He's got 2 awesome friends, who he's already gone road tripping with, and I bet more up at UTD. Sure, I have awesome friends here at UT. There's Enrique, Mario, Sara, and Samantha (To start with the Google Peoples), and then from my research class there's Jacob, Ramon, Jaira, Britney, Daniel, Norman, and Daniel, and from my poetry class there's Wendy, Ceci, Allie, Julie, and Daniela (I know there's more, but that's not the point of this).
The difference, is that Brian KNOWS these people, and they KNOW him. When do I talk to anyone from my poetry class? When I'm in class, or passing them around campus. The Research people? Pretty much only when we're doing Research. The Google people? (Aside from Sara) When we're in class together, or right after. Why?
I don't know. All I know, is that the only person I hang out with on a daily basis is Summer (And I've been friends with her since elementary school if you didn't know) and sometimes her roommate. I'll hang with Sara and Leslie on occasion, but there isn't anyone else that I really hang out with. It's weird for me. I'm a people person as much as I'm not.
While at dinner, Brian, Ian, and Carrie had a billion stories to tell. Me? I had one about my roommate, and that's pretty much it. I have the all nighter story, and my losing my wallet story. I have nothing else.
Also, I find myself A) Jealous of Brian for being able to make those friendships, and B) Ian and Carrie for getting Brian. I look up to him, probably more than it's healthy to do, but I do. Oh, and by jealous, I mean true envy, almost mad it's so intense. Which in turn makes me feel bad for for being jealous/mad about them being happy.
Who knows, maybe in a few weeks I'll finally get to the hanging out stage, I mean, we pretty much do that in my Research class.
The point is, it's college. Aren't I supposed to be at home here, and never want to go home, because it doesn't feel like home as much, and have this uber base of friends here, and all that jazz? Or am I just expecting a lot out of college, while at the same time not doing a whole lot on my end to get myself there?
Eh, whatever.
I hope everyone had an awesome Friday, and is going to have an Epic weekend!! =D

Ok, so this will be short, because I really need sleep.
Yesterday... Wednesday... Whatever... I pulled my first all nighter. It actually makes me quite excited. Wednesday night we started at the library, moved to Wendy's, and ended the morning in the lobby of Jester. We basically got the whole assignment done, and even had a blast while doing it. I love the people in my class. It's funny, because it reminds me so much of Google.
Speaking of Google, I love it. I love the people who work there, the people I met there, and everyone who continues to use it keeping it around. They sent out the $1,000 scholarship, along with a letter informing us of a $5,000 scholarship. It's ridiculous, I know, and that totals to $176,000 of scholarships for the entire CSSI group this year. I don't know if I've you're tired of it yet, but I love Kat, Carolyn, Jessica, Charles, everyone from CSSI, my mentor, and all of Google. It's the best, and I really think I want to work there when I graduate. =D
Ok, I'm getting my sleep now, since Wednesday morning at 7 I've had 3 hours of legit sleep, and that was a 2 hour nap and a 1 hour nap. So, yea. Haha. =D

I think I'm going to be the end of me. Going 1000 miles per hour with few to none breaks in between.
Don't worry though, I can handle this. I just have so much homework it's kind of ridiculous, and mainly because it's always one class. This one class is going to be the end of me, I know it. However, when I finish I'm going to feel so awesome. I'll be that guy who says, "Yea, I took M310T. Everyone else has no idea how crazy that course is. I spent many near sleepless nights doing the homework for that class. However, in the end, I know a lot more stuff than you, no offense. I can prove to you Real numbers, and fields, and the commutative property, and distributivity, and limits. Yea, I don't just use this stuff, I know why I can."
That actually makes me happier than you know. I'll even look back and think to myself, "You know, you could have finished that homework a lot quicker had everyone sat down and worked on it. Had you truly lost a part of yourself to the class and buckled down."
I'll tell myself, "I would have died. I would have slept more, but my life would literally be Research Mathematics. That is not the type I would want, and so I am glad I spent countless hours avoiding the homework to give myself that needed break from the work."
However, I need sleep. Like crazy.
So, I leave you tonight to do this homework. This homework that makes my weekends ten million times better.
=D

Print "NS Google Chili Peppers"
So, I'm finding that when I feel like updating my blog spur of the moment it always turns out being about a person. For example:
I tend to pick an artist/band and listen to them all day. Sort of to force myself to listen to different stuff, and because sometimes a certain song really stands out to me. Well, I started the day of with A Fine Frenzy. I've been hooked on the song Rangers since Friday afternoon. Walked to my Calc class singing along to that, and then when I left Calc to head to my programming class I decided to switch artists.
Right away, I thought of switching to Toxic, because it is still faintly stuck in my head... Well, luckily, I didn't. As I was looking for the song I happened upon The Zephyr Song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I automatically decided that was a much better song than Toxic, and started listening to it.
It too maybe 10 seconds into the song before I thought back to all those times I sat in Cody's car, literally just sitting there as we drove around town listening to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. It got me thinking about how much I miss Cody, and how much I took him for granted.
"We'll always be best friends." I'd assure him when he would say that things would change when we went to college. Yes, that's true, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying that things have changed. I talk to him on the rare occasion that I'm capable of playing TF2 with him. In fact, the majority of our conversations are pretty short, and about TF2 or Pokemon.
I miss Cody. I miss my best friend. In fact, I'm really jealous of my brother, because he's almost always talking with Cody. I knew I'd miss Cody though, and that things would be different. I just never realized how much of our friendship took place face to face. We never really did much texting, or internet chatting. If we wanted to talk we'd hang out.
I think, I really need that. I'm not going to die or anything, but I don't want that friendship to fade.
I mean, last Tuesday he texted me, and asked if I was alright. I told him, "Yea, just a little unnerved." His response followed along the lines of, "Quit being a sissy. You should be using your super strength and speed to stop the guy."
Harsh, right? Nah! It's Cody, and in his awesome Cody way he was helping me more than most people could have. I really am grateful for him.
P.S. I aced my Logic test with a 100. =D
And... I think there was more, but I can't think of it. =P

It too maybe 10 seconds into the song before I thought back to all those times I sat in Cody's car, literally just sitting there as we drove around town listening to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. It got me thinking about how much I miss Cody, and how much I took him for granted.
"We'll always be best friends." I'd assure him when he would say that things would change when we went to college. Yes, that's true, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying that things have changed. I talk to him on the rare occasion that I'm capable of playing TF2 with him. In fact, the majority of our conversations are pretty short, and about TF2 or Pokemon.
I miss Cody. I miss my best friend. In fact, I'm really jealous of my brother, because he's almost always talking with Cody. I knew I'd miss Cody though, and that things would be different. I just never realized how much of our friendship took place face to face. We never really did much texting, or internet chatting. If we wanted to talk we'd hang out.
I think, I really need that. I'm not going to die or anything, but I don't want that friendship to fade.
I mean, last Tuesday he texted me, and asked if I was alright. I told him, "Yea, just a little unnerved." His response followed along the lines of, "Quit being a sissy. You should be using your super strength and speed to stop the guy."
Harsh, right? Nah! It's Cody, and in his awesome Cody way he was helping me more than most people could have. I really am grateful for him.
P.S. I aced my Logic test with a 100. =D
And... I think there was more, but I can't think of it. =P
