Lish, I'm glad you are a Cubs fan. They may not technically be the better team, but it is so much more fun than the Sox. I am going to a Cubs rooftop party this weekend and am thrilled about it. Let us hope the weather cooperates.

And now more random thoughts as they trickle into my head...

I met a boy a few weeks ago. We made out all night on the dance floor of a favorite bar and exchanged numbers to meet up the next weekend. I did not think it would really go anywhere, but he was cute and probably good for a few dates. He facebooked me later that week and his page said he was in a relationship. I was extremely pissed and vowed to swear off men and become permenantly chaste. When I confronted him about it through texts later on he said that was an old relationship. When I asked why he had not removed it from facebook he never responded back and I have not seen or heard from him since.

The next weekend, the only weekend in my entire life where I have not wanted to talk to any men, I met a guy. A nice guy. Irish, Catholic, from IN but never wants to live there, hates the Colts, loves Notre Dame. Much in common. I am a bit smitten. We will see where this goes. Meeting this guy marked the secon weekend in a row I was making out on the dance floor of the same favorite bar. Hopefully I will see this guy again, but hopefully next time he will meet up with me before 1:30 am. I remember once Court that you said you must have a face that says commitment. Well, I must have a face that says random hook up because all the boys I meet seem only to be interested in that. And while I am not looking for a relationship neccessarily, as Kelly Clarkson says "I do not hook up." Usually.

That weekend, the weekend I met Patrick, was also the weekend the nausiating couple came to stay. Amy was venting to me about them after they left and it turns out that everyone else feels the same way I do when around them, so I am feeling better about the Jacob situation. It seems that my aversion towards them does not so much come from personal feelings but from the fact that he is really no fun to be around when he is with her.

I am talking with two Highlife boys. I might have gone on a date with one of them last week. I do not think I will ever know for sure. The other one I think wants to hook up but does not know I will get fired if this were to happen. I think I need to tell him. As for the other, the might have been a date, nice but again I don't want to get fired. There are two other Highlife boys I think are interested in me, but not me in them.

My roommate's bf popped the question and I am thrilled for her. Do I think it is too soon? Yes. But do I think they are great together and an so happy for them? Yes? The collective feelings of our friendship circle is that they are extremely boring together...never go out; all the ever do is go to the gym and take naps. And yes, I mean naps, not "naps." At some point I think this will have a negative effect on their relationships with others; it already has started to. But moral of the story is they are very happy together and I am very much looking forward to their wedding in summer 2011. I love getting to help plan a wedding, especially since it is not mine. Not sure yet If Amy and I will be roommates again when our lease is up. I have a few other friends I would like to possibly live with, and though she originally did not, I think by next May Amy might be ready to move in with Dave. So we will see where this goes.

Ok, I must get back to work. Everything I talked about today is actually the short version. Much more details if you would want them. But I am sure you have your own busy, thrilling lives :)

Lots of Love,

Shannon

P.S. I'm saving up to possibly go to Austrailia...this is why I never can afford to come home to visit.

P.P.S. If you would find yoursevles able to come Ames and I are throwing a birthday party for me/early Halloween party in Oct.
