Mike had a birthday party on Saturday. I had a lot of fun, only had a few beers, and left kind of early. I got to see some people who I hadn't hung out with for awhile, namely Megan, Kathleen, Jennifer, Devin, and Vanessa. Devin and Vanessa are both 21 finally, maybe I can convince them to hit up Old Chicago's for happy hour sometime.

Sunday - ... what did I do? Not much! I watched the Aristocrats with Kim... played tons of TA with Dan and Mike... Chinese homework, cleaned my apartment, threw away a bunch of crap... the usual.

My damn job is paying me too much - I changed tax brackets and now I'm not getting all my taxes back. I'm going to get like, $300 off the $1000 that I paid those assholes to kill people. Shit. Well, at least it's still a refund.

Today at work, I was a wanted man! I had a meeting with the dean for a new website to be built - and it's a lovely one! I love when I get complete creative freedom on a page without regard to CSU's publication rules. (However, I'm looking to advertise this site through university channels - not good if I don't follow their rules! Hope I don't get in trouble!)

I think I got hit on at the gym today! I'm not very good at telling, but this random girl just struck up a conversation and then followed me around for awhile while I was lifting. She was like, "Well, I'm usually here when you are, I've seen you around before, so I'll talk to you later!" Hmmm... pretty sure she was hitting on me!

The problem is that I don't quite know what's going on with Kim... I feel like we're kind of relationship-y. We never had the TALK, though, and I'm just really reluctant to get very attached since, no matter how much everybody is trying to get me to stay from China, I'm most likely going. But I know I'd feel kind of disparaged if she was finding another dude, so that's something.

She doesn't talk much about how she FEELS ... and I don't either, but usually girls I date do. Well, at least the last few I dated were beating down my door to be my "girlfriend". It's weird how in college, people hop from one monogamous relationship to another so seamlessly. I guess I'm kind of content where Kim and I are ... not very serious, but having a lot of fun. I'm just confused on whether or not I should feel a little wary of being hit on at the rec center.

I've been listening to old No Doubt CD's all night... that's odd for me, I haven't listened to them for a long time. Also, smoked a cigar in the bathtub! Yeaaah.

Girls are nuts.

Susan's grandpa died, my Aunt Diddy died, Jan's mom died, Ross's dad died ... what's with everybody dying lately?! Do these things always happen in waves? I'd like to see death statistics broken down by days and weeks to see if more people are dying right now or if it's just people I know.

I hope I'm in China by the time Bush starts World War 3... because I'm pretty sure China won't stay out, and I'm pretty sure that whoever they side with will win. Since Chinese-American relations are shit lately, they'll probably side with whoever we're fighting. I hope the Chinese government doesn't kill American ex-pats (or make us move into prison camps or anything).

Annnnd... I'm exhausted! I didn't sleep very well last night, hopefully tonight I can get my full 8 hours.
