Yeah, I should be working on my senior project. I'd say "Sue me," but I said that last night on Fark. Another Farker threatened to serve me his subpoena. Seems I have a way of attracting guys on Fark like moths are attracted to the bug zapper. I have a queue of Farkers waiting for me.

I am feeling 100% better than I did yesterday. Joey invited me over for dinner again last night. I got a spaghetti dinner out of it, plus a chance to vent and escape my family. I can vent about my depression to him because he knows where I'm coming from. He's seen it all. He can give me a perspective that other people can't. And that's what I need in my life at the moment. I paid him back by staying after dinner and helping him with his Milestone 2 for his Systems Analysis project. Not only have I taken the class before him, the project he's working on is the same project I had in the class. So, unlike me, he's got some one in his back pocket that has been there, done that, in regards to IT classes.

Prior to dinner, we stopped at Kroger to get some garlic bread for the spaghetti. I may not cook, but I can contribute ideas to dinner. I wanted some garlic bread. So, we go through the checkout line. Joey insists for the prices he's (in this case, me) paying at the store, someone is going to ring him up. He's not going through the self-checkout line. The lady ringing me up looks at my necklace. I happen to have on the cross necklace my mother got me at Wal-Mart in 2004. It's the one she got me just before my Grandpa's funeral in 2004. That time was a depressing chapter in my life. I wear the necklace as a way to see God in life and to see the brighter side of things. The lady just studies the necklace and looks at Joey. She asked Joey did he pick it out for me. I simply remarked my mother got it from me. It's not the first time stuff like this has happened to me. MAS and I would be the campus bookstore and the checkout person assumed we were a couple. They may not have flat out said anything, but the actions by the person implied they thought we were a couple.

Last night's test was ok. I didn't do as well this time as last time. However, my grade was still one of the better ones in the class. I'll take that. I just need a C in that class. That's all.

Tonight, the ACM, weather permitting, is going to have an activity night. We're going to play miniature golf and drive go-carts. It should be fun. I'm giving 3 of the guys in the group a ride out there. Lindsey plans to attend, too. It will be nice to hang out with her and Chris again. I missed them 2 weeks ago when I went to Atlanta and Copperhill.

Ok, now back to school work. Just give me my degree!
