This was surely the laziest birthday I've had in memory. Dad was of course at work, and Mom was at meetings all day, so I had the house to myself all day after they woke me up with "Happy Birthday" before they left. I did my taxes. I did laundry. That was about it. When Mom and Dad got home they brought pizza for dinner and a jar full of gummy ( Read more... )

Well, now I can scratch one of my Things To Do Before I Die off my list: 1. Stop being afraid of driving to new places. Today I drove to Sedalia to spend the afternoon with Debbie, the girl I met a while ago on OK-Cupid.

So, yesterday morning and afternoon I spent hanging out with Brandi. We ate lunch at C-Hall (which was the first time I've ever eaten there, incidentally) and I introduced Brandi to Steve (godofineotitude) and Becca (ureshii). Matt was there too, but Brandi already knew him. After that, Brandi and her dog Dixie came back to MO Hall with me and met my roommate, and we ( Read more... )

As expected, Grandma and Grandpa's was a lot of fun.

One of the really great things about being in Columbia (when other people are around) is how responsive and giving of their time my friends here are. Kyle happened to check LJ at Katy's house right after I posted my last entry, and Katy promptly jumped online and invited me over to her house--at 11PM ( Read more... )
