Zzzzzzz

I’m getting one. In August after I get home from bootcamp I am getting a Nissan 350Z, and I am extraordinarily pumped! I’ve known about this since about March but as it gets closer it just gets that much more exciting…

We were going to go bowling tonight to get out of the hotel. Baby Bear just called me and told me that apparently in this town the bowling alleys are not open at night. Sooo… back to either doing nothing, or possibly trying to crash a wedding reception. We’re waiting to see how big it is before considering it. We know the names, but we need to do a bit more background investigation, as well as make identities for ourselves. This is so unlike me… but I figured this opportunity will never again present itself. And it’s be kind of interesting… just to see if we could pull it off. Probably don’t have the guts though.

My sister’s getting married next weekend – I have to fly home Friday and then come back here Sunday. It’s crazy; I can’t believe she’s getting married already! She always swore up and down I’d be the first to get married – well she was wrong on that one!

Speaking of marriage, I was extremely pleased when Chris called me the other night and asked whether I prefer square or more like a princess cut. It doesn’t even matter that I don’t expect to get one for many more months ; the fact that he asked me and that he’s thinking about it just makes me happy.

Blah, now I’m bored. On the one hand it’s nice to have some solitude; on the other hand I’d like to do something. Don’t really feel like drinking tonight, though. I’ve consumed alcohol the past 3 nights. Not a whole lot the first two nights, and last night… well it was free. When your employer pays for your happy hour after dinner you do not say no.

Did I mention I’ve acquired the rather annoying nickname of “Dimples” here? Preppy/Squeaky (depending on who you ask) named me that early last week. Since then we’ve gained Baby Bear, Preppy/Squeaky, Smalls, Sugar Momma, Mad Dog, and Urbansky/Pinky. Still working on some others. For the most part no one actually gets called their nicknames except for Baby Bear, me, and Smalls. Well, and sometimes Urbansky. It’s a little disconcerting when someone you’ve never met introduces themselves and say “they call you Dimples, right?” Damn.

I’m really going to miss a lot of the people here after we all split up. It’s almost like starting college again and making really great friends except we only have 4 weeks to see where it goes. And no matter how cool these people are… they’re not my college friends. They’re not Jeff, Al, Connor, Alex, Rob, Teresa, Drew, and they’re definitely not my Chris. (Being here makes me appreciate Chris even more than I already did, if that’s possible.) Ahh well.

I really need to stop this and go be social.
