Game Night

Was a bit of a bust tonight.  The crowd was small (and devoid of girls) and we wound up just coming back to our place and playing Halo.  Which is fine I guess.  Hi Uncle Dennis.

I feel pretty down today for some reason.  I want to talk to someone but I don't know who.  Someone who I don't instinctively feel like I have to apologize to all the time.  I don't know why I insist on saying sorry so often.  It's not universal in my speech.  It doesn't happen when I talk to Jared or my family.  Or a couple other people.  But most everyone.  I definitely don't feel like holding a phone to my face for an extended period of time though. 

It's really hot in here.  This is probably going to be a shorter entry.  I am excited to sleep my extra hour tonight.  Now that the game night is over (3 hours passed between the first two paragraphs and now) I feel better.  It was fun.  System linking with a bunch of people in the same room is an unfailing blast.  Nick claimed to enjoy his 30 hour stay and I'm inclined to believe him.  Aaron Mortenson is one of the best people I know I think.

Unfortunately Nick had very little to say about the poem I'm presenting on Monday.  He said he thought it was a bad poem.  "If this is good poetry, I could write published poetry."  I really don't doubt that Nick could actually.  He's pretty flipping brilliant.

We went to CCF last night, which I think went alright.  We had Arby's for dinner afterward because I had nothing in the house and we were starving.  It was the first time I'd eaten out here.  I think I've been pretty good about that.  I felt relatively guiltless about the expenditure.  I gave Nick the Share Jesus presentation from my book.  It was pretty funny.  "so I'm supposed to work this question naturally into conversation, but I guess for you and me this is natural."  I'd say it went well.

We wok up at around 1 pm after playing Halo til 5:30 in the morning.  Don't worry mom, that is far from the norm.  I made egg sandwiches and then I guess Nick was content to play more Halo.  Which I was perfectly content with too.  For dinner there was more eggs.  That's pretty much all I have right now until I go shopping again.

Nick got to the bus on time and there it is. 

I suppose you could say I am feeling just ever so slightly homesick.  But I expected to get hit harder and earlier with the bug so.  I guess this is good.

So I guess after the past two days I'm not going to be left with much time for football tomorrow.  But that's fine.  Maybe I'm feeling downish because of my lack of productivity.  Who knows.  generally feeling pretty sub-par still.  I need to be praying.  I say it a lot but its true a lot.  

I feel dirty (literally, in need of a shower) and really tired.
