Hey, all. Just a quick drop in 'n post. School starts again next week, so I'm looking forward to getting back into singing. I mean, I was having fun, but I didn't realize how much fun until after school was over.

I ought to sit and write out a post about all the stuff that's been going on of late... I hadn't talked to Brooks in a couple of years, but came to find out yesterday that he's been working not a block from my apartment for nine months. Go figure. We met up last night after we both got off work and caught up on old times.

I've been seeing a girl now for about a month... she lives in New River for the time being, until a couple of weeks from now when she's getting an apartment in the area of Via Linda and 115th Street. Her name is Maureen, she's 24, she's attending SCC and working in prescription benefit management, and she and her family breed and show English cockers as well as one very personable whippet. And that's the basic nutshell description. :-) Anyway, she's continually amazed at the movies I haven't seen, so by this time tomorrow night, I'll have seen Star Wars-es 1 (IV) through 3 (VI) and the two Kill Bills. My end of the deal is, I have to make dinner. Oh yeah, twist my arm... everyone knows how much I dread cooking.

Anyhow, I'm sitting at my parents' house, and I just remembered the reason I popped on. If anyone's into playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live, drop a line to me (tfg46) and/or my brother (Zandl) online and Friend us up. Yeah, I can't remember if I mentioned we got an Xbox around Thanksgiving, and then Z. and I pooled our Best Buy cards together and bought a router and subscriptions for Xbox Live after Christmas. Unfortunately, now we're hooked. He's pretty good; I'm still a work in progress... okay, I suck. But I know I suck, which is good -- few things are less fun than having to deal with someone who sucks at something but doesn't think they do. Thus, since I know I'm not very good, I still enjoy playing a lot, even if my team's Slayer scores look something like 18-16-14-2 after a winning match (or, occasionally, 19-18-15-minus 2 if we're playing Lockout). About the only things I'm consistently good at are driving a Ghost and wielding a shotgun, which, Zach has politely informed me, pretty much brands me a "N00B". Ehh, like I said, at least I have fun...
