BFF visit!

Apple Pancake

Yesterday my best friend Brian came all the way from Korea and drove from Iowa to Chicago just to visit me. Now that's the type of dedication and commitment you'd expect from a 1st Lieutenant! It totally makes up for the last time we had the opportunity to meet over a year ago when he didn't tell me he was leaving. Grant it, we were both busy trying to get our own lives straight so we hadn't talked for a month or two...

We had a good night and we literally went bar hopping, staying nowhere for more than 45 minutes. Before that we ate huge meals at Famous Dave's and I finished all of mine. I don't remember the last time I ate so much. We also fit in a viewing of Super Troopers and a stop at Starbucks where the cashier so suavely asked "Are you guys... together?" when he was asking if we were going to pay for our drinks separately or not.

This morning we had breakfast at Walker Brothers with Kristin. I had a very delicious apple pancake that was about the size of a standard pie, literally. Good times were had by all and then Brian left. I said that I'd come out to visit this fall. I should do that, it'd be fun!

Myspace

I really don't think I like Myspace. I held out subscribing to it for the longest time, but since one of my ex-roommates had great success picking up high school girls with it, I figured I'd give it a try. I mean, who doesn't want high school girl friends with all their high pitched screaming and blabbing on about how billy in class looked at them and they think he is so dreamy and how they wish billy would just dump his 2 timing girlfriend who is complete trash and has a skin rash problem and steals from the church offering and hates puppies?????

No but seriously, my friend did end up meeting a few high school girls, but I figured I'd give it a try just to meet normal people in the area, maybe with similar interests. Well I gave it a few months and to my dismay, nobody wanted to be my friend. (Well I didn't make any friend requests) The world is a tough place. I kept considering deleting it, but then my best friend Brian jumped on the bandwagon and I decided to keep it for now, but still not encourage anybody to use it. Then a couple more people started flowing in, my sister found me, even though I told her to stay away from evil Myspace. Then a couple other people. And now I just can't get rid of it, because some people like Kristin have private profiles, so I can't see them if they're not my friend :( (Mine's private too, I don't want anybody to find me) I still don't like Myspace, but I'm stuck now. How can I e-stalk my closest friends without it?

But yesterday I had the biggest dilemma yet. One of the high school aged girls from my parent's church back home made a friend request. And I don't even remember her name. Did I ever even talk to her? You see, my dilemma was, I made a pact with myself never to add anybody that I didn't talk to in real life at some point. But then again, I recognized this person, and the good Christian in me says to accept people into the fold and not to shun people off. But I don't want to have other people from my parent's church find my profile, and to be honest, I'm not too fond with some of the people my age that are left there. This will probably open a door that I wanted closed, but I still accepted the friend request, just to be nice. Being nice is so overrated.

I don't know why, but I just get this weird feeling about Myspace every time I use it. I really dislike it, but I want to use it minimally at the same time. I used to love Facebook because it was clean (Nobody was allowed to put those ugly backgrounds and animated flashy stuff on their profiles. My eyes were saved!) and only college students could join. But now they've opened the doors to everybody and I've already started getting weird friend requests. Thankfully, you still can't mess up the clean look of Facebook. Maybe I should just close my Myspace down. I mean Facebook is now open to everybody. It would sure make me feel a lot better, and then it'd be harder for people to find me once again.... Nah, I'm too lazy to do that.
