First Dates

It's on my mind and I gotta get it out. I'll be going out with someone next week and I'm having trouble with deciding what to do. I've already decided that dinner and a movie is out because I really don't want our time together to be spent watching a screen. Dinner is a really good idea, but where? A) I'm really low on money and B) I need it to not be Denny's.

Then what? Are we just gonna sit at a restaurant all night? Probably not. What should we do? I've had the suggestion of MiniGolf. Is that really a good idea? I dunno. It would help if I knew her a bit better, I know. I guess that kind of makes it fun though. I do know that I want to figure it out.

I guess at this point all I can do is wait for her to finish up her finals this week then we can hash it all out together. I just really don't want to screw this up. YAY for my worrying brain. Any suggestions are welcome though. And now, time to sleep and turn the worry off.

brain death imminent

So, I'm trying really hard to learn a lot of different things right now. Well, not really learn a lot of things, but I'm definitely working on a lot of things in my brain. I'm stressing through school, I'm actually trying to figure out how to install and run linux. I'm constantly debating about how to spend my school loan money, because there are a lot of things I want and a lot of things I need. I'm thinking now, as I'm typing this, that if I wrote out a list of what I need vs what I want to make my life easier, it would ease a lot of the tension in my head. YAY!

NEED:
spare computer running Linux
WANT:
Multiple computers for practicing with servers and networks

NEED:
LCD monitor(s) to ease the eye strain of staring at a computer all day
WANT:
Multi screen setups so I can have all my application windows spread out on the screen

NEED:
to focus on growing with God
WANT:
to just live life

So yeah. That's a bout where I am.

And I've just realized that some of my wants are provided already. Isn't God great?

AAAARRRRRRGH!

my computer gots a virus. I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm thinking it stole a bunch of my personal information. Luckily my computer had a wired internet connection so I was able to disconnect it. It won't be able to do any more damage to my life outside of the computer now. I clicked one bad link and BOOM!

Oh well. Things will work out. I can still connect to get my homework done and turned in. And I can still do email and communicate with the world. But I can't do anything too major right now. No downloads, no uploads, no big projects that use space on the harddrive.

so yeah. That and I need a job. YAY!

Growing Up

I'm at a point where I need to seize initiation. I'm thinking that it's out there in the grand canyon. I'll be setting up an interview with a restaurant out there and I'm hoping that I get it and that it's what I need. I'm praying for a situation that will require me to grow but will also HELP me grow. Because God knows I need all the help I can get.

So I guess I'm asking for prayer in this from everyone that reads it.
