If you took the time to sign up for this, then let's hear something about your life. Mine's still pretty much the same as the last time I posted but here you get me posting once again.
Here's me
hanging out at a bar called Norb's, which has become pretty much like my home, thus why I am laying across a few chairs, taking it easy on a Thursday night.
I've been playing volleyball on Thursdays since the summer, and this session is particularly fun because we are actually pretty decent! Each session is me and one or two repeat players-- but other than that we revamp our team every 10 weeks. And after the games, we head out to our favorite bar and... well, keep with the tradition of Thursdays being a really, really fun night. God I miss bingo...
Here,
in a familiar scene you may have already noticed if you ever go on Facebook, I am with my boy toy otherwise known---by me, in this photo alone--- as Box Head Ben. I'm at his apartment in the photo, doing what it seems like my life consists of these days besides working, sleeping, eating and volleyball Thursdays-- spending time with the bf, his roommate and neighbor. (Yes, he likes the Red Sox. Worse yet, he's a huge CUBS fan. Sorry to all you Cubs fans, but you know of my Cardinal preference already I'm sure of it.) Yep, yep it's just like old times at good ole' EIU, where now that I think about it-- most of my closest friends were all guys.... and Erin Miller.
Speaking of the Cardinals, I went to my first of five games Friday and ---JUST MY LUCK ---it began raining right after they sang the national anthem, about 5 minutes before start time, and they canceled it. Ben and I had enough time to wander around and find our seats, have one beer each, then I had a hot cocoa and we sat in the cold waiting for official word on the game.
Then then we caught Denny's on the way home. I almost killed us driving in the rain trying to get there-- but on a happier note, we DID eat Denny's finally, (which has amazing buffalo chicken sandwiches if you haven't tried one) for the first time since our after-bar dig in Alton (RIP Denny's) straight up closed its doors forever without warning, leaving only Steak n' Shake in its wake. Ugh. They better schedule the make-up with enough advance time for me to take a damn vacation day if I must to go see it... that's all I got to say.
Sorry to hear you had to get braces Jamie. I had them from 5-9th grade. I also realize that was in grade/middle/high school and you are an adult, so I feel your pain. It might not be so bad though after all. Anyways, the job situation doesn't sound too shabby, I think it was the same last time I talked to you... glad to hear an update nevertheless.
Recently, in March I beleive, we had an impromptu reunion in Charleston, of which there are many funny pictures on Stephen Haas' photobucket taken my myself or Grizzly Lightning himself. Check them out if you get a chance, and be very jealous.
