So, I took pictures documenting my February 29th as I said I'd do. I don't think I'll put them online right away. They're mainly awkward photos of classrooms and me eating things. That reflects pretty much all I did on Friday. As I keep saying, they'll be interesting in about twenty years, so you can expect to see them online then. Maybe earlier if I feel like re-posting the photos from February 29, 2004, along with them.
(Actually, I did have a rather interesting Friday night because my suitemate Evan realized his dream of putting a kiddie pool in the bathroom and having a jacuzzi party. It's not against the rules, but it will be when the wrong people find out, so we kept it hush-hush. I didn't take any pictures because they might be incriminating once having a jacuzzi party in the bathroom is a crime. I didn't get in the water, but I hung out. There was music playing and everything. It was fun.)
(Oh, that Evan is quite a character. He also recently realized his dream of buying a gorilla suit. Will hilarity ensue? Most probably.)
I was just reading some old posts, and I noticed how much funnier I was in them. Like in this one. And, you know, other examples. Just go to a random post in the archives and you'll see what I mean. Have I grown up and stopped being funny? I hope not. I think I just have more serious things to talk about. Like philosophy.
Still, there are overarching themes that continue to this day. And speaking of rejection, last night (actually early this morning) I asked out a friend via IM an she totally said yes. I feel compelled to add at least five exclamation marks here (such was my feeling after my über-cool roommate helped me with the asking-out process), but I say it with cautious optimism. Every time I ask a girl out, something happens and/or I just get the cold shoulder. Fourth time's a charm? We'll see.
And now, the links.

In Manchester, there's a street with no name. They call it The Street with No Name, so I guess that means it has a name.

The hot tub party sounds fun! It's that sort of thing that you will find telling your kids and grandkids years later.

Yeah, that thought actually crossed my mind. I'll get in the water next time...

Thanks for trying on that iTunes thing in the last post's comments. Despite me being a believer in Jesus, that story about the poor boy and his family was disturbing. It is supposed "Christians" like them that encourage people to view Christians as hypocrites. Congrats on the successfully asking a girl out. But a little word of advice from the side of a girl, ask them out in person, NOT on the internet. It shows that you care a lot when you spend the time and work up your courage to speak face to face.
