Soooo I haven’t posted on here in like…a frikkin long time. At some points it was because I seriously had nothing going on and nothing to talk about. Then very suddenly life got insanely busy and I just didnt have the time or the energy to blog. But now, amidst a 3 day Lost marathon and in a city that is all but empty of its usual college-aged inhabitants, I find myself with some time.

Sooo what have I been up to? Well November got pretty crazy after my last post thanks to my application to my major which was due and I have this stupid perfectionist and procrastinatory way of doing things that I think are important. Yes procrastinatory is a word. I know this because I was the one who made it up. Just now. Anyway we will discuss the freaking application crap later.

After that Life got kinda boring. I kept going to classes and hanging out with this really awesome girl named Sarah. I stopped working my glorious job, serving tables at Dennny’s, so that I could focus on school more…yeah I really just ended up focusing on my social life and playing a lot of Wii witgh my roommates. Yeah it was insanely productive time. There were a few things due the week before thanksgiving but mostly everyone else had a pretty crazy week so I had no one to hang with and nothing to do. That meant nothing to blog about either…sad I know.

Right before leaving for thanksgiving break things got really good with Sarah…and they still are really good…so that’s good . Sadly enough I think that means that any rants about stupid girls that I would normally produce on a frequent basis…well you don’t have to worry about those for a while. Thanksgiving break was pretty fun. Driving home to Colorado and back meant that the actual break part of break was shorter, but still nice. We had a great turkey dinner and played some football. I went and banged up my shoulder during the game by ramming another guy. It’s still killing me. Stupid football. This is why I have never been an athletic guy.

I was gonna get a car while home too, since mine was worse off after the accident than I’d realized, but then the clouds opened up and God said “I hate you Steven” (that is a quote from THe Little Rascals, in case you didn’t know that…well not the Steven part…in the movie it is Alfalfa). Anyway longish story shortish, my dad bought two cars pretty cheap. One was ugly and ran real good, the other was pretty and ran almost as good. So my dad registered the pretty one before I got into town for thanksgiving. Then while I was in town driving the car around it died on me. But because the DMV and junk were closed for the holiday there was no way to register the other car before I headed back to Utah for school. And tho we tried our darndest, we couldnt fix the prettier car. So I had to ride back to school with the friends I’d ridden out with. And have remained car-less since then. Sad story, I know.

When I got home from thanksgiving there were only 2 weeks of classes left before the end of the semester. That meant Group projects and other projects and papers and all kinds of crap being due. Add in all the time I was spending with Sarah and…yeah no time to blog. One of the Group projects we worked on those 2 weeks was a “photo essay” for my film class. We titled it A Flu to Remember. Check it out. It came out pretty good. When we finally presented it in class for our final it pretty much blew everyone  away.

And so finals week began…and you know that whole procrastinatory perfectionist thing I mentioned? yeah that happened. I ended up getting them all done, but didn’t do particularly great on any of them except that one film class. I guess I can live with that. I will just have to step it up next semester. Once finals were over I got to spend almost a whole day with Sarah before she took off for home and then…well then I had nothing – correction have nothing to do. My roommate Ty and I began a Lost marathon on Saturday and have been going strong ever since. So far we have watched 35 episodes of the show. The whole first season and about half of the second. It’s been pretty much awesome. For any Lost fans out there you should try it. There is a lot of stuff from the beginning of the series that ties into stuff in the 5th season. It’s crazy how well they did tying everything together.

I have barely left the apartment. We left to go get Beto’s (delicious trashy Mexican food) on Saturday and went to church on Sunday, but today…well Ty left for a bit today and I…I took the trash out. LOL. While taking out the trash I did find a pretty sweet Lazy Boy recliner which we of course retrieved and now resides here in our living room. It is pretty much awesome. It has a built in phone…isn’t that like the coolest thing ever? okay maybe not ever but how about the coolest thing you have heard in the last few hours? Yeah I thought so too.

Tomorrow however the relaxation ends… or at least changes. My family and I are going out to California to see my grandpa and other extended family. Grandpa still isn’t doing his greatest, but he is recovering and doing better than before. Either way I haven’t seen him in almost 4 years and it’s a good time to go out there. So tomorrow my family is driving out from Denver, stopping here, and then we will all continue to the bay area. I said that the relaxation might simply change because first I will be sitting in a car for like 11 hours on my way out there and once we get there I really have no idea what we will do…maybe just sit around and have our own marathon, I really don’t know. I’ll let u know later.

The great news there is that my dad has managed to get my car working and will be bringing it out here tomorrow when they pick me up. Can you say YAY? that’s okay I can say it enough for all of us. See some of you may know how much it sucks not having a car. Dating for example…dating sucks…okay doesn’t suck…but is complicated a great deal by not having a car. I have been car-less for the entire time Sarah and I have been dating. She has never even been in my car. Because it sucks, and does not run. At first we did group dates where other people drove and then we did a lot of going to each others’ apartments and watch TV or movies. Luckily she has a car so when we wanted to actually go out and do things she could drive. As I may have already stated Sarah is all kinds of awesome and chill, so she doesn’t mind driving. But like trying to open her door for her when she has to unlock it first, and having her drive me around…kinda sucks the chivalry out of it all. BUT NOW or at least starting tomorrow I will have my very own vehicle once again can I get another YAY? why thank you.

And so that has been my life over the last 6 weeks or so. The semester is done, I found a great girl, and now it is off to Cali for Christmas. I will probably blog again soon, but in case I don’t get one in before Christmas then Merry Christmas!
