Life goes on (very slowly)

I don't really know why I'm posting this, but I'll do it anyway. I've been so bored today. I'm sleepy but can't get to sleep. Anyway, I'm gonna go try.

The Cantata

Last night's performance was incredible, one of the best ever presented by our church. I know it impacted onne of my friends from work, Tanner. Brittney was there, Julie had brought her. They asked me if I wanted to go out to Chile's and I said no, with much hesitation, but cause I had to stay and take pictures. She seemed fine with that and said it was nice to see me. I'm so confused, but I think it's all good now. If anyone actually reads this please pray for Tanner and Brittney, and that I'd be a good testimony for Christ.

The drama continues...

I went into work last night to find that Brittney had gotten somebody to cover her shift (not suprising since Julie invited her to go caroling.) So that was fine, and then I come to church this morning. Erin walks up to me and asks where I was last night. I said I was at work, and she said that brittney was asking about me alot (in a good way). So I dunno. She said Brittney was gonna be there tonight, at the second Cantata. So I thought the issue was resolved, but apparently not. So all I can do is hope she still isn't expecting me to pick her up for the cantata, and see how things go.

[type something clever here]

Wow my arms hurt. They're cramping like crazy from that work out. Matt was Stephen and Mine's private fitness coach, because he knows all the techniques because he has a membership to Better Bodies. We worked on Biceps and Triceps, for over an hour, and I'm feeling it. ouch.

The rest of the story

So basically we hung out for a bit, in the pool hall. After a bit my sister took me aside and pointed out to me that Brittney "wasn't alright". Pretty much I already knew that. And I didn't really like Brittney like that anyway, and I had no idea how I got there. So after a while of waiting around for a pool table to open up, and endruring excessive and silly flirting from Brittney and one of her friends, Page, my sister came around with her store's group there, and asked me to come and play some games in the arcade with them. So I asked Brittney if that was alright (though I don't know why) and she nodded. So I went with them (and very glad to do it) and basically had a blast playing ski-ball. I never thought I'd want to get away from a girl or flirting, but I did that time. (I know that sounds weird). So anyway I basically ditched Brittney, though and walked in fear of meeting her there again. Later on whole I was playing a game of pool with a guy from Melanie's store, Brittney and page came up to me and started asking questions and teasing about where I'd gone. And by the end of the conversation, I think I had for the most part got the point across to Brittney that I couldn't spend the evening with her, because my sister didnt' like her (although I hope she got the point I didn't either). So they left as I cleaned up the table. I spent the rest of the night with my sister's group, bowling, which was great fun. My sister was always on the lokout for "that slut". Which I didn't really mind, although I was already thinking of what working with Brittney was going to be like after this night. I noticed Brittney in my seat, behind me as I was listening to John (The Sonic Group owner) give the plan for the night. I ignored her. By the time the announcments were done she and her freind had left (fhew!). I continued to bowl another few turns, then I decided I'd go over to the bowling for cash lanes, (the idea as simple as it sounds). While I was waiting in line, Page came up to me and asked me right out, "Do you like Brittney?" I hesitated, then replied, "I'd like her better as a friend." "Okay" she said, and walked away. That was the last I spoke to either one of them. On the way home, while I was pondering what I was going to do about all the other things Brittney was coming with me to, Melanie reassured me that she might hate me for a while, but she'd ge over it, and go get some other guy.

So now you've read my story, and though it may not look like much, it was a new experience for me. One I'm not sure I wouldn't have rather avoided, but hey, it had to happen sometime. So now I'm sitting down at the computer, eating the best yam I've ever had (from East Texas), feeling very depressed and like a sheltered little home schooler. I'm still wondering how this effected my testimony as a Christian. And though it may sound very weird, I'd have'd to say, for now, I like girls better as friends, having been though this. Anyway, you see now why I say I'm an idiot. Sarah left a comment that kind of cheered me up. I mean hey, maybe it doesn't really matter.

I have to stay home from church tonight, because we have to study for our final tommorrow, and this is a very big bummer, and partially the reason I'm depressed, because I think Jenny would've been there. ;-)

I feel I must explain...

Yes, I know what a girlfriend is like now, and I've got to say I agree more with my parents and their reasons against dating than ever. (Especially an unsaved girl) So here's the story:

My parents drop me off at Brunswick Zone at 7:26 PM –4 minutes before we're (me and Brittney) supposed to meet. So I wait around by the door for a bit, meet my sister there, and wait a bit longer. Around 7:45 I look around in the crowd of Sonic people and there she is, with her grandpa. I went up to her and gave her a hard time about not meeting me at the door. She laughed and then introduced me to her grandpa. He said, “I need someone to take care of and protect my little girl.” Brittney then said, “Andy will do that. Right Andy?” With this she gave me the most adoring, enticing look I’ve ever gotten. And I (who was feeling like a jerk right about now) said, “Yes, I’ll do that.” From that moment on I knew I was in trouble, and I didn’t know how to get out of it.

To Be Continued....

I'm such an idiot.I just got back from the party.Im not sure what 2 say,'cept that I now know what having gf is like.(help me.

Crazy Week

Today I found out that the company party isn't tommorrow night but reather tonight, monday night. So I'm hoping Brittney figured it out. Stephen, Matt, and my self are going to pump iron tonight before I go bowling. That way my arms will be all rippling when I lift the 11 pound ball. lol. Anyway, she wanted me to take her, but I told her I'd just have to meet her there. And my sister is gonna be there, what could go wrong? Pray for me that nothing does. Pray that I would draw her attention not to me, but instead to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Saturday

Well, it's like 1 in the morning here, and I'm still up. I went to work at Sonic today, and it went pretty well. We're finally getting busy again, so that means I get more tips. Tonight was interesting because I worked with Brittany. I've worked with her before, and I can tell she want to be my gf. But tonight was awesome. I don't know how commited she is at school, but she was giving all the other guys at work the cold shoulder. Only problem with this whole arrangement is that my parents won't let me date. (And I agree with them and their reasons). But anyway I'm taking her to the company party on tuesday. and skiing later next month, and to the cantata...WHAT AM I DOING???? (she's pretty hot)

On this date in history...

Well, I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe in the theaters today. It was amazing! I never thought I'd like a fairy-tale, but I did like this one a lot. I did notice a lot of symbolism that Lewis must've intended, which I didn't expect in a movie. And the Graphics! Stunning! I could hardly tell they weren't actual video. I'm definitely going to have to read the actual books now. Next on my movies-to-see list are: The Legend of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and Syriana.

Anyway, just a little something bout Sonic, I'm ready to quit and go work at Bass Pro Shops. Well, I'd better go now, long day of fixing cars tomorrow.

Heat Wave!!!

Wow. It must've gotten up to 25º today. Yesterday the high was 5º, so it's all relative. I took my ear training final today. It went alright. The rest of the final is on Thursday of next week.

It's cold!!!!

It's stinkin cold here, I'm really glad we got my heater fixed last week.

School is really getting to be a drag

For the past three semesters I've been attending Metro State College, taking a music theory class. Well I've had it! I used to like it, but I'm not really enjoying it anymore. We've gotten to the end of the tonal system, and it's driving me nuts. Anyway, I don't think I'll be taking 20th century music, even though everybody says its the best one. ohwell. If I don't take it then that saves my family a lot of $$$ and me  lot of time. And then I can hang out with John more. I still might take a spanish class from CCA, but we'll see.

It's snowing pretty hard here and is 6º F, with a stiff 15 mph wind, it's cold.  Anyway, I've got to get back to regular school.
