I have returned from the land known as the Quad Cities! I have been in Orion visiting Gretchen since Tuesday night and I miss her already. I don't want to get overly sappy but it is harder and harder to be without her. The trip went good, I got there about 2 AM on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning after driving there after getting off work. We got to spend a lot of time together and that was good, the summer has sucked without her here. I also talked with her parents a little about some stuff that had been causing friction and things like that. I also announced to them my intention to marry their daughter eventually. It went well I think. While up there she and I saw Clerks 2 and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. These were both awesome movies that I recommend to anyone. Gretchen made me watch Miss Congeniality which wasn't to bad, not my kind of movie but not bad. It had Alfred from Batman Begins in it so that was cool. We just spent a lot of good quality time together. And now it is only 2 weeks until she comes back for good! I am extremely excited. Oh, I also have to relate an amusing story. On Wednesday we were at the mall and FYE was running a pretty kick ass little sale with a ton of cd's for 9.99. I was very amused and pleased with what Gretchen decided to buy. She bought No Control by Bad Religion and....Danzig! My girlfriend purchased the first Danzig album. Seriously, you don't look at her and expect her to be a Danzig fan but she is. I don't even like Danzig lol. It still baffles me that she likes Danzig but not the Misfits. She did say she would have to give the Misfits another listen but I don't expect her feelings on them to change. Anyway, I thought it was funny and great that she bought those. And now I go to the room of showering and toilet.
