Eric triumphed in tennis again, beating me 6-4. When my serve is right on, he can't return it. Sadly, this only happened about 5 times last night. Feels good to get out and run around - hope we can make it a weekly occurance.

I'm buying gas today, because I'm a terrorist.

Also, how come no one told me about Quorn before? That faux chicken patty I had last night was the best I've ever had!

Lately I've been thinking about how people start dating. Marie and I met and became friends while she was engaged. Had she been single, I wonder if we would've ended up together - something about her being taken made it easier to just be myself. To those of you who are currently in a relationship, were you single when you met the person or involved with someone else? How do you think it affected your new relationship?

I've deleted at least 500 work emails today, no fooling. I try to not be a packrat and remember days at my old job when my email inbox would be completely empty. Not the case anymore, which is a good thing. I've resolved to have at least one half-day per week with my door closed in my office. I can get so much more done if I don't hear the conversations going on right outside.

I was thinking yesterday about the need for enemies. I think they make you rethink your position and challenge you to find solutions. So, enemies would be beneficial to some extent. Is it noble to be enemies with someone with a greater good in mind? I need to think more often.

( This doesn't count as thinking )

I apologize if this breaks LJ or leads to water shortages. But, here it is:

( All of the surveys I've ever, ever done...minus a few )

Spent most of yesterday morning stressed out and feeling like crap. Talked with my aunt Monday night and she seemed disappointed in us about the house buying process. Nothing she said specifically, but I came away from it feeling bad. We went back with my parents Monday night and have settled on the Regal house. We want to see a few more houses but I think ultimately we'll end up coming back to this one, hoping it's still available. It's going to be awesome when all is said and done. It's just getting there that is ulcer-inducing.

Had an afternoon long meeting in Appleton on health care. It was a good distractor. Also went and got fitted for my tux for the wedding. I would like to get a cell phone holder, as walking through the mall yesterday with my phone in my pocket felt like I was broadcasting messages of "Gaze at my boner" to everyone I walked past.

Got to talk with Carrie A. last night and am excited to see her soon. Hope to get her interview done when she stays by us in May. And Danielle's soon too.

Also, Danielle and Terry decided on Harvard. It's a one year program, so we shouldn't have to miss them too much. I'm just hoping they remember to come back. I'm already looking forward to going out to visit.

I have a pimple on the exact part of my elbow that rests on surfaces. Does anyone want it?

Today at work is Vagrant Records comps, Van Halen, Voodoo Glow Skulls, two Fat Wreck Chords comps and early Weezer.
