My World Today

In my last post I mentioned my friend Doug, who had just moved in with me at the time. A couple of months have passed since then, however, and Doug moved out again last week. He decided he hated LCC and Cottage Inn Pizza even more than I (if that's possible), and so he did what any sensible fellow would do: quit his job, dropped his classes, and joined the Marines! He's now living with his grandparents until April 16, when he'll ship out to the sunny West Coast for boot camp, so I haven't seen him much this month. Doug's grandma feeds him three times a day, a fact over which he gloats gleefully; I woke up late this morning when he walked into my room and said "Hey, what's up". We drank Strongbow, ate pizza bites, and angered lonely teenagers online with our utter domination of every game, all day long. Then we went to the music store to buy guitar picks; so, all in all I'd say it was a pretty productive day.

Other events which transpired since my last post include Spring Break in Hawaii with my sweet and beautiful Vicci; this in itself deserves a long post of beaming written smiles, but not tonight. Suffice it to say I had a soothing, sunny, well-fed vacation in the arms of my loving girlfriend. Mysteriously, my employer "no longer required my services" when I returned to Michigan, so I have been inconveniently out of work for a few weeks. The job sucked, but it did constitute some barrier between me and that persistent wolf, Starvation. Brightening my life again, however, Vicci came here to Michigan for her spring break, so I spent another blissful week-and-a-half without hating life in any way.

Years ago, my cousin Sarah and I wrote a story together called "Elevenses". This week I discovered that she has posted said story on her livejournal. Naturally, I reread and laughed at every line, and since it was never completed, I proceeded to write the next chapter. You can read it here. There will be more to come in the near future, so if you like it, stay tuned for the exciting continuation and eventual conclusion!
