Just a Few Thoughts

1. I met a boy at an Italian restaurant a few weeks ago. He's kind of cool, I guess. His name is Jaten. He's 140 lbs, has red hair, and apparently doesn't smell as much as most people. He's a phenomenal conversationalist and is extremely gentlemanly. He has a freckle on his right bicep that resembles an upside-down rendition of the country of Argentina. That is a bit Ironic because he served his LDS mission there a few years ago. For our first date he took me to lunch, the gigantic U on the side of the mountain in the SLC valley, and to the theaters on his campus; he's an acting major at the University of Utah. This leads me to number two.

2. Because he's an acting major, he spends time in theaters. Because I am a male, I am naturally competitive. This inherit trait leads me to be really ambitious in my field. I was, already, pretty intent on being the best I can, but now I am more-so. Now I want to be impressive to him, because he continues to impress me. I'm going to excel this year no matter what happens with Jaten. On that some note of doing fucking awesome, I was awarded at the end of last year a Half Tuition Waiver. That in it and of its self is kind of amazing and rewarding. At the beginning of this years first AAT (Associated Actors and Technicians) Catherine Zublin, one of my favorite professors, informed me that the department had extra money and was awarding me a FULL Tuition Waiver. Of course I was thrilled. Ecstatic. I hugged her. It is a really great feeling knowing that your department likes you and your contributions so much that they will pay for your schooling.

3. With the money my parents are saving from me getting a sweet full ride scholarship, I want to buy a camera. I AM the AAT Historian, which means that I will be responsible for documenting everything that happens this 2011-2012 school year which includes the AAT season. I am in the process of convincing my parents to do this for me, I hope they do it. That would be the tits.

4. We're going to look back on number one, and everything about Jaten. Mostly because I like talking about him. A lot. He's incredibly cute, silly, and he likes to play along with all the Derek-like things that I do. He's in a show at the Lab in SLC, but last night after it ended, he drove all the way up here to have a nice little nap in the treehousecargonet in my tree. Before actually making it to the cargo net, I took him to two very good places in the Ogden area. The first was my favorite set of swings. Just a few minutes from my home, a town called Pleasant View has both some high-ass swings that are just amazing, and a surprisingly pleasant view. But no view of Ogden compares to the view from location number two: the infamous Frog Rock. Made popular by Weber High student as one of the only make-out spots in the Weber Valley, this rock over looks the entire city and all the lights the night has to offer. I am pleased to announce that this boy is both a hopeless romantic like myself, but also a very good kisser. After some very good conversation in my cargo net, we decided that actual sleep was our best bet. Trouble is, when you're in a bed with a cute boy, sleeping is SOOOOOO boring. Instead we cuddled and kissed a lot. Great fun. :)

5. Our dearest Calves is going to Bible College in Boise, Idaho next week and to celebrate her growing up, we all went 80's dancing. It was extremely fun and really easy to keep up with the trends of that decade. I dressed as a punk-ass-mothuh-fuckuh who listens to punk-ass-mothuh-fuckin music. It was great. We totally rocked that house down! Jaten went too and he's cute. :)

That will be the end of this post, but keep in mind that Jaten is adorable.
