So I'm not much into surveys, but this one's for a class project. And saving it via link is easy. I think I'm probably more introverted than this. Maybe I should put Meyers-Briggs into this too.

I'm a O76-C74-E53-A27-N32 Big Five!!

Last weekend I had a great time with Sarah and her friends, Nina and Red. Sarah and I visited the farm where they work and took a hike through the woods. We made a kind of luge on a hill and went sledding on it. We were yards away from a partially-frozen waterfall, which I stood atop with my previously overlooked waterproof boots. The terrain ( Read more... )

It's been a while.

I had an amazing Christmas break. But as of Monday I have no breaks until July.

I'm learning HTML and I'll throw some in here and there.Tex proposed to Liz over the weekend ( Read more... )

Two incidents of losing sleep follow two sessions of joy. The first was Saturday, when I joined Sar and her friends at a campsite in William O'Brien state park. We roasted marshmallows, made some "hobo" food thing cooked in aluminum foil, and sat around the fire. The drive to the site was beautiful. The St. Croix River was lined with yellow and ( Read more... )

Interestingly enough, when I lent it Liz, she found it "too convoluted," meaning too hard. Anyway, the book takes place at Guadalcanal, where author James Jones served and won a bronze star. It's a cynical book that is composed ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I was so tired the world became surreal. I finally caught some rest two weekends ago when I visited mom, who had been all alone while Dad was off in Canada for the yearly hunting trip. I recovered there, and I wish all weekends could be so restful ( Read more... )

My weekend was spent working. With the exception of a romantic and relaxed evening with Sarah, of course. But other than that, making $200 in tips (that includes last Wednesday) and another $155 after taxes in wages. I think. Thank God for the tips or I wouldn't make it ( Read more... )

We finally won a game last night. We were several people down and Tim was injured, so he called in some "friends." They turned out to be Ian the Pilot/Soccer Allstar, Mike, and Dmitry. Despite all the help I wasn't as excited to play, but I gave it my best and even scored a goal. But the game's MVP wasn't one of our star subs; it was Steve, who ( Read more... )

I got a job at Caribou again! And Aleida got a full-time teaching job. I start classes next Tuesday. This weekend will probably be my last beach adventure with Sarah for summer.

Last weekend Sarah and I volunteered at Extreme Home Makeover as VIP Snack Stand caterers. We didn't pick the role, but at least we had air-conditioning and a great ( Read more... )
