i cant find the kitties right now and im worried they have been compromised.
that comes to what i was originally going to say, which was that ty and his friends stay out way too late considering their schedules, him probably being the worse because he works full time yet stays out til 1am and goes to bed around 2am, and then goes to work at 8am. no wonder he keeps fall asleep in random places around the house. i feel bad for keeping up at night as well.
but anyways, i have officially been here for a week now, and i still havent done very much. but i think i would rather do little than do a lot while im here. i spend most of my days online searching for deals on stuff, learning about new cameras, techniques and the latest tech gadgetry, playing super nintendo (because i never had one) and then playing with the kitties while i wait for ty to get off of work at 5. but as you can tell like today, i actually havent had much of chance to really hang out with him. of which i find both ironic and fitting. knowing me, i will probably fall in love with him if i hung out with him too much and never want to leave his side. however i have been hanging out with a lot of friends in and around the area, mainly ty's roommates, tyler and tim, who i happen to see at almost every function i go to, and of course, reagan, ty's girlfriend and her roommates, of which we seem to spend to majority of our nights lately.
the other day, i went with reagan to her place and we watched the newest season of antm online (of which there is a transgender contestant btw... oh tyra. always breaking boundaries.) and then i cooked a typical filipino meal my mom would cook at home, that being chicken adobo with rice and some broccoli. reagan made the rice (the first batch in which she burned) and the broccoli (which she steamed in the microwave. i didnt even know you could do that.) considering how different food can be such a scary change, everyone seemed to enjoy my cooking and i thought i did all right myself. i am getting better at making stuff anyways. the aloe juice and mochi, procured from the asian market, however did not go over as well. haha...
having been locked inside the house the past two days (literally) yesterday i walked over to the local hangout spot known as sauced to get myself something to eat, namely a VERY large slice of pizza. a very large slice at that. while i was there, i walked around what appeared to be the art district of the city. at sauced there were what appeared to be a couple of crust kids being... well, crusty and asking people for money to get some coffee. i was going to ask one of them where i should go diving but they didnt appear as friendly as others i have met on my travels, almost to a point of staredown when eyes were met, so i decided not to. perhaps it was a stranger in local territory or what have you. but i overheard a few speaking about how one of them was from california originally and i think i recognize him as one of tiffanys friends. tomorrow i might be more willing to talk however, so perhaps i will try to talk to them then. well, that is hoping they will be there again at the same time as i would be.
over the past weekend, ty and i went to weatherford, which is about an hour away and where he used to go to school, to have a cookout with a few friends. this included many whiskerino contestants that i had only seen online previously and hadnt met in person. it was really fun to meet them, and well, weird as usual... haha. to you know, see them moving around and talking. haha! i love it. but it was cool. food was good too. and caleb has this home studio where we took this photo of our post-mini-throwdown. i, of course, had to wear my red flannel to the occasion.
today i started my novel idea to begin exercising, which meant jogging. not sure if its a good thing yet, as i didnt go that far but i am incredibly sore. but i suppose thats what happens when you dont do any real physical activity for 8 years, huh?
overall, my trip so far has been nice. and eye opening for the most part. unlike back at home, i seem to do a lot more church/fellowship activities here. (in very VERY large churches mind you...) but such things are causing me to think and pray and be more mindful of Christ in my life. the other night i went for a walk, and i ended up praying for the majority of the walk, something i havent done in ages. i suppose without the distractions of regular work and people and life at home, i have time to think and am trying to keep more in tune with Him so to speak. but its been good... i feel as though the Lord has been speaking through me as well as to me from others i have encountered. Ty especially is quite an encouraging person to me, and keeps me on my toes. we have an interesting relationship. hes been challenging me, making me realize some of the odder actions and unusual words i choose to say sometimes. i never realized that i suck so much i guess... haha. but i hope that more comes out of this time here, and i hope to continue it back home.
i think that maybe i need more people like this in my life at home.
