Geez! Catchup again!
Hung out a bunch with Jessi, Caitlin and Pat. I got them hooked on Skylanders, which they all love. We're all collecting figures together now, since it'd be ridiculously expensive to get them on our own.
Went bowling with Chris and one of his friends. I guess you could *technically* call it sort of a date, but I really wouldn't want to be tied into any relationship with him. He's nice and all, but there's no chemistry.
Saw some friends yesterday up in Kenosha. It was... interesting. See, Sarah, one of my old friends I've known since kindergarten, is very pro-life. She insists anyone who isn't is brainwashed and going to hell. She also believes abortions increase a woman's chance of breast cancer by at least 200%, even though research is still being done to see links. So, the four of us are up there hanging out. The Susan Komen issue comes up. I'm pro-choice and feel people shouldn't be talking about what does or doesn't cause breast cancer unless they actually do the research, which of course lead to her calling me brainwashed, ignorant, etc.
What she didn't know was that our other friend Galena was raped. (I knew.) What neither of us knew was that it resulted in a pregnancy she terminated. Of course, after I heard that I expressed my sympathies and Anna and I tried to change the subject. But Sarah decided it was the perfect segue to a lecture about what Galena had done to her life. Fortunately, Anna had driven Sarah there and made up some story about having to leave early to get Sarah out of there.
Also, had dinner with Drew. (Just friends kind, of course.)
Gaming-wise, I've been playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Hakuoki a lot. Both are really great!
