http://www.pointsincase.com/single_guys_mind.htm Did I mention I bought new shoes? Remember the old ones? With duct tape? Yea, Im keeping them. Probably gonna redo the tape on the left.
I hung out with Vanessa today. She wanted to go for a run, but I ended doing more running that her running to/from the school. She lives like.. two blocks over and four blocks down. I want to hang out with her more often. Alot more often.. like.. everyday. Just cause I can. She lives the closest from anyone I know, pretty much, except maybe mark, but he's a party pooper. She's cool though.. did I say how I met her? I dont think I did.. well, itll come in time.
On saturday I spent all day downtown with Sam. She wanted to hit up value vintage right? To buy a coat. Cause.. she really needs one. We end up going in and out of the store quickly, when she noticed everything was too expensive for her. I think we ended checking random stores we couldve done back in coquitlam. We dragged me into american eagle outfitters (my brother's favorite store) and I really hated it. So much that I had to leave before I got angry. Ugh.. I dont think ive ever felt that way about a store before. Ugh.. well anyways, Sam ended up buying some jacket and we had a bunch of time to kill before 8. We went to waterfront just as it was getting dark. To be honest, its a relatively romantic spot, over looknig the water (although it is the industrial water area). Everything was shiny from the tiny bit of rain. We had cuddled a bit to keep warm, because I admit I was freezing out there. It got so windy. I was randomly talking about Dave or something, and then she kissed me. I was... shocked I guess. But I was more surprised as to my reaction.. I was uninterested... We ended up heading back and whatnot, and I got off my stop near the bowling alley. I gave Sam a little kiss to show her i wasnt totally freaked out by her actions before. I was walking out towards the Bowling alley to where I was going to bowl with Dave, Adam, Steph, Joe, Gilby and others.
As I passed by the pizza place just across from the alley, I heard someone call my name, and I saw Dave and Mark in the pizza place. We were still 20 minutes early, so I urged them to follow me to Starbucks (The Devil's coffee shop -Moses) and got myself a Peppermint Mocha ( ;) ). Adam, Joe and Alex must have seen us walking over and came by aswell. We all stood around the bowling alley for a good 20 minutes, until this girl, that i had seen walk up to the alley 15 minutes prior and noted how good looking she was, asked Adam if infact he was Adam. They had supposedly not been able to reconise each other in the dimly lit street. We got our shit together and started bowling. I was happy to see that by fluke, i was put on the pretty girl's lane. We instantly clicked. I dont think ive gotten so comfortable around someone so fast before. But we were having a great time. I didnt loose the first game, and I just narrowly didnt loose the second, after some coaching from the loser... the girl. And by now if you havent figured it out, that girl was Vanessa. After bowling, and her lying that she could wallflip (I ofcourse had to do a victory flip after the alst game) I confronted her about it, and specifically stated the wallflippers in her school, after which she promptly admited to lying.
We all just hung out for about a half hour afterwards. We all went out seperate ways after hitting up the 7/11, and I was hoping that it wouldnt be the last time Id see her. 1-2 days later, I had planned to ask Adam for his friend's email. Before I could even get the chance, she had added me. Vanessa had gotten my email from some unknown source. We figured out pretty fast that we live pretty close.
Well yea... I was scared to ask her if she was seeing someone, and only today had I gotten an answer to that. No we are not going out. For now she's my girl next door. And Im very happy just for that =)"

"I cant wait til Nathan comes back and I get to train with him, yo!
Nathan's such an awesome guy and I really do look up to him. He's a pretty good rolemodel. He's travellnig the world right now, and last time I talked to him he was in kathmandu after getting rescued off everest when he got altittude sickness and they had to call an emergency chopper in, so yea.. he almost died. Now he's all enlightened and stuff, and it's just a blast talking to him. I beleive he's gonna go to Egypt then live in Scotland, and he said he should be back by Febuary. This guy is nuts.
I am currently working on a project that I expect will take me all night to half ass. Keep me company."
Wow..
