Valentine's Weekend

This past weekend was great!!

Friday - It SNOWED in Mobile and in Charleston and classes were cancelled (mostly). Kristen, BJ, Morgan, and me played in the ice/snow for a while but it didnt stick to the ground here in Mobile. We started to paint with Shannon and at lunch she let us go and we went to Millry (bj's house), which got around 4 inches of snow and we played, had a snow ball fight, and built two snowmen in the snow. We then enjoyed some taco soup and some chocolate cream cheese cake! YUM! We then headed back and watched most of 'Julie and Julia.'

Saturday - I chilled around the room and worked on SeCAPS stuff and then went to work at the game with Melissa. I then went over to bj's place and played some lego batman which to my surprise, is pretty fun!

Sunday - Valentine's day! Went to church and then went to walmart to get some last minute stuff. Bad mistake, walmart was crazy! I made it out alive and went back to the room and starting getting ready for that night. I baked a funfetti cake and got some sandwhich stuff together. Kristen was supposed to work but ended up not working so she came over and we ate dinner and watched Mrs. Doubtfire. HILARIOUS movie! We exchanged gifts, which she got me 'night at the museum 2' and a tornado chasing book with some pretty cool photos! We ended the evening playing some wii sports.

Overall, very good weekend!

Addicted

For Christmas I got a Wii and since then I can't stop thinking about Mario and the world of Mario, from goombas, to bullet bill, and to dry bones. I believe Mario is the best video game character ever created as the games never get old. They come with new ideas and make old ideas even better with each new console!

Right now the game I keep thinking about is the "New Super Mario Brothers. Wii", a remake of the old super mario brothers from the super nintendo. Kristen, BJ, Braden, Morgan, and me have all had a part in beating it and we are so close! We beat bowser but Peach told mario at the end 'oh mario! did i tell you about the secret world?' WHAT!? After going through 8 worlds and beating bowser, there is still more to do!? Well each level in each world has 3 star coins and you have to get all them to open 8 new levels in world 9! We have all of the coins in worlds 1-6 and a majority of the coins in worlds 7 & 8. We are so close yet so far!

I'm looking at expanding my mario game collection as I only have two thus far (Super Mario Bros., and Super Smash Brothers). Here is a list of the Mario games I have played:
- Mario Kart Wii
- Mario & Sonic @ the Winter Olympic Games
- Mario Party (not on the wii though but its pretty much the same)

So not sure which one I will buy next....

However, here are some of my favorite Mario characters:

Mario - Of course! I will choose him before any other characters

In case you didn't know, I'm addicted to Mario!

Yoshi - He is a little green dinosaur that is very cool!


Lakitu - Usually a bad guy but he can be good too. He has several roles in varios games


Dry Bones - You must be cool to have a name like 'dry bones'


Koopalings - I didn't know who they were until super mario brothers. They are bowser's kids. They have provided a lot of laughter during play with their 'talking'


man, I love mario!

Thoughts Recently....Heroes & BJ

Recently I have had a lot onmy mind and I just gotta let things out!

First of all heroes, the tv show has been on my mind. We are on season 4 now and that season will end two days from now, this upcoming monday!!! There have been several rumors flying around that this could be the last season without heroes because of ratings falling. I hope that there is at least one more season because the plot line is now how I want to end it. Last Monday every character that I liked was either captured or put into some hypnosis thing and they are helpless. There is a character named Samuel on the show who is new this season and I originally liked him but now I don't. He has the ability to move the earth in any form and has gone crazy, he covered a whole town and killed everybody in the town. Now he wants to kill everyone who does not have an ability.So with all of that said, there better be one more season or I will be mad!

Second of all BJ has been on my mind lately as well. He is my best friend and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. He took me to the hospital a few weeks ago and I have never felt that much love from a friend before and I don't want to lose him at all! However since then when I hang out with him I see myself doing stuff that I shouldn't be doing, like making fun of him and punching him for no reason...yet he never does that to me, at least punch me. I would go crazy if I didn't have BJ though!

Love Thing

So yeah, I asked my first girlfriend out two weeks ago and it has been one wild ride! We have gone out to eat about three times...Chick-fil-a, O' Charley's, and Sonny's (BBQ). We talk to each other every day either through text, facebook, or in person at the BCM.

My thoughts have been all over the place over the past two weeks but I believe that I made the right decision even though it might of hurt some people's feelings.

I am looking forward to what is coming and to Valentine's Day...the first time i have ever celebrated it.

Measure Friendship

How do you measure friendship?

Do you measure it by a trip to the ER? Working on a brochure together? Playing mario together? Just chilling?

I don't have the answer but I will say that I have some great friends who care and love me.

I would like to thank my best friend BJ though, for taking me to the ER at 12 in the morning after he had gotten back to his place and into his PJs. There is no way I could express my gratitude to him but I'm going to try!

side note....i am feeling better...still not eating too much because bread but i feel good!

Changes All Around

A week from today, AKA last Friday was one CRAZY day!!

To start off the morning I realized that when I walked out that I had left my car at a different dorm area and I had to hitch a ride from my room mate so I was running late. When I got to the BCM I thought I heard somebody call my name or say something but I didn't see anybody. I thought I was going crazy and continued on to what I was doing until I heard my name again and a girl named Morgan was standing there. I walked over and we talked and walked together to the student center. She was telling me that a certain girl liked me and I guessed who it was, it was Kristen Jordan. So I had that on my mind the whole day!

I continued onto class and I got a call from the bookstore on campus about coming in and talking about my hours. I had applied the day before and I didn't think they would already be calling me but I went anyways and talked to the main lady Deb. Ends up that I was being hired at the bookstore, so i got a job last Friday and my first day was yesterday. It is a pretty fun job!

Well the day continued and I decided to call my sister about the whole Kristen thing and talk to her. I told Jo that I was going to ask Kristen out and of course Jo has to give me all of these details about what to do and such. Then she just had to call Mom who told pretty the whole family...things spread very fast! Well later that night Kristen and BJ came over and we played some wii games and cooked some chicken wreath thing. It was good!

I text Kristen after she left and asked if she wanted to go get some lunch the following day, Saturday and she said yes. I asked her out at O' Charleys last Saturday and got my first girlfriend!

So it was a crazy two days and a lot of change but it was a good change. Here are some photos from that experience:

The final product!
