I headed home from work in the pitch black (despite the fact it was only 5:00). I’m still not used to the time change. Since we ‘gained’ an hour, why don’t I feel more rested in the morning? Anyways, had some supper and watched the Halloween episode of the Simpsons that Marie had graciously taped for me from Tuesday night. Good stuff, I think it’s getting slightly less funny than in the past, but still excellent to watch.

We got a notice in the mail that our apartment manager was going to be coming around to inspect all of the apartments (80+) for some reason (I’m assuming to find out if people are pre-trashing the place, as was the case of the apartment we moved into or possibly to see if the heat is working in all the apartments, etc.) So Marie and I cleaned up after supper and gave our apartment the once over. I tackled the bathroom and computer room while Marie cleaned the remainder. Toaster ovens are awesome, but they get icky pretty quickly.

After that, worked out for about 20 minutes on the Gazelle and found myself getting pretty tired. I’m hoping to keep up the routine of every other day for between 20 and 30 minutes and hope to see some improvements soon. I think switching to a mostly meat-free diet has helped in terms of losing weight and being healthier overall, but I should make an effort to cut down on sweets as well. Suffice it to say, Halloween didn’t help matter much.

Spent the remainder of the night playing cribbage vs. the computer, checking some random LJs and reading more of To Kill A Mockingbird. A pretty meager evening but a good one all the same. I also made a minor (but possibly major) change to my website. I added ‘Home’ and ‘Rants and Raves’ buttons to each of my rants and raves. I did a search on one of my topics and realized that when I went to the link (due to my use of frames), only the Rant came up and no way to go back to the rest of my site. So I figured that to increase traffic, if someone comes across my stuff randomly, they’d have a way to get to the rest of my pithy thoughts too.

I’ve got a lot of work today that I’m not too thrilled about doing, but I’ll at least have a way to pass the time. No word back from possible job prospect in Fond du Lac, I’m planning on calling them tomorrow. I’m not sure if the commute would be something I’d want to do, but then again, if it meant a more meaningful job, maybe it would be worth it.

It’s okay to be 23 and have NO idea what to do with your life, right? Please say right.

Tonight will be a bachelor night, as Marie is taking her Little Sister to see Shrek on campus. Marie and I saw it already and I found it to be rather enjoyable. So I’ll probably spend some time on-line or maybe rocking out. I prefer to listen to loud music when I’m alone, so as not to infringe on Marie, so tonight might be the way to go.

I also might do some CD shopping tonight too, but it’ll depend on the weather. It’s pretty glum outside, so might be a better idea to just stay in.

More later on, Eric and I are going out for lunch (Subway’s Veggie patty, here I come!) so I’d best get some stuff done between now and then.

I'd recommend playing it by ear and being open to anything. Marie was engaged when I met her and I found myself in a similar situation to the one you described. I think the time I spent getting to know her and before I was her 'boyfriend' was the best part of my life, because it was so real and exciting and interesting.

So, enjoy ;)

How long did you know her before you were her "boyfriend?" I'm still tinkering with the theory that once you get past the "close friends" point, there is no return to romantic possibilities.

Marie and I got to know each other during my sophmore/her freshman year of college. As I mentioned, she was engaged at the time and we became friends through mutual friends. Soon, we were spending as much of our free time as we could together, going for walks and just talking for hours and hours and hours.

Since she was engaged, there wasn't that awkwardness if we both would have been single and it really allowed us to get to know each other without embarassment. Does that make sense? We were friends for about 8 months or so before she broke it off with her fiancee and we got together.

If I didn't know better, the way you write about her (and the way she writes about you), you are soulmates. If the world would crumble and everyone but the two of you would disappear, could you survive? That's how I feel about Marie and I think that's how you feel about Vegas. Of course, it's very easy to play relationship counselor without knowing either one of you, so forgive me if I'm off in left field.

Ah, what do I know? ;)

Yes, if the world crumbled and everyone but the two of us disappeared, we'd definitely survive and make a grand ol' time of it. The only question is whether even then there would be any romantic involvement. The one thing I know for sure is that the human race would defintely die out with our eventual passings, hehe.

The destruction of the world could be like Spanish Fly...:)
