This crazy week!

Monday whitney and i did service and then we decided to get our nails done and then we went shopping and i bought a jacket. I just decided to splurge a little bit. Later on Stephanie came and we hung out. THat night we went to see Colin Smith the irish singer songwriter who is amazing. The next day we slept in and had a late breakfast and we went to see 500 Days of Summer which i love. THere are so many highs and lows with relationships, sometimes you have no idea how the other person feels about you or the relationship. Anyway, it's just a great movie. So Stephanie left later on that day. So Wednesday morning i get a call from my job saying that they don't want me to work on Thursday. Which makes the second week in a row that i haven't worked. I was so irritated. Fortunately the night before i had sent out some resumes and i got a call an hour later for an interview. It went pretty well, so monday i am going to observe and then tuesday and wednesday i will be working. I am not super crazy about the dentist but i can deal until something better comes along. I also have a meeting with a temp agency next friday so at least i have some options.

THis week has been the worst one yet in this city and i have been here two months. SO i guess i can't really complain that much.

Guys make me sick!

There's this guy named Paul, in my hall, who likes to play ball, he's not very tall,he hangs out at the mall..i'm sorry i just couldn't help myself.Anyway, he is from england and he is a bethelite in london but he's here until october working at bethel. He works in the treasury dept.He's an accountant.So when he first came i really didn't pay any attention to him i just thought, "He's probably just a stiff boring Brit!" SO i talked to him a few times at the hall. He was nice enough. Then one sunday after the meeting i went out in service and i ended up working with him and it was really nice, he's just easy to talk to. He's kind of quiet which i like and i like his sense of humor. He's reserved and calm. So at the meeting on thursday he asked me if i had plans for the weekend. I said no but he had a barbeque to go to and also he had to give a talk in the Albanian congregation. He says lets do something the next weekend.


So Sunday evening i ended up hanging out wit him at Christina's house. He was just really nice and offered to walk me home. So the following Tuesday he sends me a text message asking if i was interested in going on a road trip to D.C. So i ended up calling him and we discussed it he hadn't planned it out or anything but he wanted to know if i was interested. So i said heck yah! i was excited. I told him me and some others were going to be at bethel on friday. So he asked if he could eat lunch with me. Which was no problem. So the next day he said he would just go to d.c. with a friend of his and maybe we could go to the beach. So i said the beach was fine, even though i was not looking forward to being in a bathing suit. So the next day he says i think the weather is going to be bad so let's do some culture instead.So i said how about we go see the Francis Bacon exhibit at the MET. So christina, me and whitney all went.

So we went to the MEt and then went to dinner and to his room in 90 Sands. So the day was fun. But he just seemed like more of a boy than an actual man and he wasn't a take charge person. I had to make all the plans. So by the end of the night i wasn't as enthused.So Sunday at the meeting he didn't say a word to me and also at the Harrison's house he didn't say a word either. So later that night he sent me a text saying,"sorry i didn't have much of a chance to talk to you today. Hope you have fun at the harrisons, Have a good week" So i replied," Don't worry about it.I don't want you to feel awkward or anything. I told him to have a good week also.

SO basically i got dissed, kicked to the curb! Which at first hurt my pride, then i found it comical, and now i am just insulted. I don't understand him. How do you go from asking someone on a road trip to not talking to them at all. He is rediculous, short, and his street clothes are awful!

I think debi summed it up best when she said he probably masturbates and has a small penis!

Superpower!

Can i just say that i really like Chermelle. She is nice, confident, free-spirited and just a very cool girl. So thursday she invited me to go to this show after the meeting. We went to see this group called Superpower. It was about 6 or 7 guys. A saxophonist,keyboardist(this asian guy who was hot!)drummer,base guitar player and a guy that played the bongos and they didn't sing they just played and it was great! everyone was dancing. I want to see them again.

Brooklyn

So one of my favorite things to do after the meeting on thursday is to go out to a restaurant and have a glass of wine and just sit and talk with whitney or whoever decides to come. It's just relaxing. I really do love my neighborhood. There are just so many restaurants and bars to check out. I love Brooklyn.

Dance, Dance

Being in this city is a bit frustrating when it comes to guys because you see all these cool looking attractive guys on the street and you just think,"wow, i wonder what you're about?" But you don't meet witness guys with edge! Not a hey, i could be difellowshiped at any time edge, but just a guy who has cool style, just....swagger!

Not that i want to date anybody right now, i am not ready for that but it would be nice to know that they are out there. But i am really open to just meeting people and having a social circle. Whitney, Chermelle, and i are planning a dance party in october.I am excited. at first we thought about having a Michael Jackson themed party but since that might be offensive to some we are just going to have a dance party.

500 days of summer

Yesterday i hung out with Chermelle and we went to this good vegetarian spot in the city and then we went to see this movie 500 days of summer. It's only playing in a few theaters. ONly three in the city. It was about this couple and it's kind of like a role reversal because usually it's the girl that gives everything to a relationship and just completely falls for someone. In this case it's the guy and how he deals with the breakdown of their relationship. It was great, cinematography great. I want to see it again. I could see myself in her a bit. That whole attitude of you know let's not take this seriously and let's not label what this is, blah, blah, blah.This probably doesn't make any sense but when she said those things i just thought how selfish and rediculous.So maybe i have made progress because i used to think the same way. I love independent movies.

I am so hot! ( as in the opposite of cold)

I am sitting in my apartment right now and i have the air conditioning on but i am burning up! Today has been a long day. It started out with service. Which was good, chermelle and i worked together. I like chermelle, she is just easy. Then i met grace and some other sisters and we went to the Met to do the bible tour. it was great but it was long and after a while my back started hurting and i got really tired. So the brother who did the tour is Chris Miller. He had a couple talks at the convention and they were excellent. He is funny, he has all these one liners. HE was talking about the Egyptians and how if you carried a staff that meant you had a important job or position. So when someone died they buried the staff with them. SO he says,"Before they would put the staff in the tomb they would disinfect it because they wanted to prevent a staff-infection!" He had a bunch of those and i laughed everytime. He was like,"Guys, this is in the notes, i would never tell jokes this corny!" So he is this single bethelite, well he is dating someone, he isn't physically attractive, not ugly but you know. BUt his personality is attractive. He gave a great tour. SO i was at the museum about five hours. So now i am at home and totally exhausted.
