Last night I went on a blind date.  What a funny experience!  My friend Jeanene and I got set up by Angela and Heidi (our friends) with these two guys Bryan and Matt.  I actually knew both of the guys.  Bryan (Jeanene's date) went to school with my older brother, and Matt (my date) grew up in Gilmer which is only a few minutes from where I'm from, and I worked with one of his friends.  They were very nice.  We went to P.F. Chang's to eat.  It was awesome!  We got lettuce wraps and then I got Almond & Cashew Chicken.  After dinner, we walked around NorthPark mall and then went to Starbucks.  It was fun to sit and talk and laugh.  The guys paid for everything which was great, and we had a lot of fun.  No sparks, though.  And of course, there were some ackward moments of silence.  Anyway, we get back to school at like 11:45 and decide to play a trick on Heidi and Angela.  Jeanene calls them and tells them it went awful.  Heidi got so worried that they left the movie they were seeing. HA!  The guys were hiding around the corner, and I sat on the stairs "crying."  I actually worked up some fake tears!  We had Heidi totally believing us, but Angela was skeptical.  Anyway, Angela's phone rings, and she walks off to talk.  That's when she spotted the guys.  She was like, "what's going on?"  Jeanene and I jumped up and were like, "Just kidding, it was fun!"  They were mad!  Hehe!  Heidi even locked her keys in the car they had been so worried.  So, at the end of the day, it was fun, but I there won't be any more dates.  Good times!

Today, I actually read every single person's Xanga on my subscriptions list.  I hardly ever go to anyone's site, so today I did.

I miss Master's Commission.  This morning in church we were praying for the new members which included all the new MC students.  I started crying during that short prayer.  I miss it so much.

What a weird day.  I saw my ex today.  It was super weird.  We were cordial and said "hello" and "how are you?" but nothing important.  We only talked for like 3 minutes.  I guess it was good because now the awkwardness is over with.  I'll see him several times since his new school is in our conference, but that sure doesn't mean I wanted to.  Anyway, weird is all I have to say.

This has been a good week.  I actually got some serious homework done!  That never happens.  As of this past Thursday, it's 5 weeks til Thanksgiving!  YEA!  Then only 1 week after that.  I can't wait.

I really love life.
I really like writing.
I really don't like tests.
I really hate not getting enough sleep.

Yesterday was a lot of fun.  I went to my first SAGU football game.  Yes, we lost, but it was a blast.  Then Karissa and I ordered a pizza and rented a movie.  We watched 13 Going On 30.  It was SO cute!  Afterwards I made the comment to Karissa, "I wish if you took back a movie the same day you rented it that they would give you a new one."  She told me Angela took back a movie once that she didn't like, and they let her get a new one.  So, I thought the least I could do is ask.  I called Blockbuster and (did not lie) said, "Hi I rented a movie earlier that I don't want anymore.  Could I bring it back and get a different one?"  The man said yes.  So we did.  I felt so cool.  Then we went to Braums with some friends and talked about kissing guys.  It was one of the funniest conversations I've ever had.

Why do I let my heart get involved in such dumb stuff?  I'm so frustrated with myself right now.  Don't mind me.

EDIT: Okay I'm better.
