Yo guys, the weekend is fast approaching and I have absolutely zero plans. Right now I'm betting on a Diablo 2 campaign, but if you have a better idea of a game/activity that I can do, let me know. Only rule is, it has to be within my ability to do (EG "make out with a hot chick" is disqualified).
I just got back from tennis, and I have a new streak going, I managed to sneak by him today 10-7.
It was rough, and I'm pretty sure Past James would have lost, but this time I saw what I needed to do to adjust and was able to change my game as necessary.
I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment. You should be, too.
(For some reason, the text here wants to go all wonky and stretch out the page)
Anyway, I'm doing great, and it looks like I'll be back to visit in about 3 more weeks. I miss you all. Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you go on.
Love,
Teh Sexy

Dear Hippies,
So I played tennis yesterday and I lost! It was a tough match, we both had really hot and really cold streaks. The end score was 7-6(7-1). Yeah, I kinda fell apart in the tiebreaker, I know. But I was pretty happy with how I played for the most part. I've really improved at my hard gets, intead of getting to hard shots and knocking them into the net, I now get to the hard shots and lob them back in. Unfortunately, the guy I play knows me too well to fall for the "Oh, he'll never return that" trick. Oh well, I'll just have to get faster to surprise him more.
I'm still trying to learn the new system at work, and I'm still hella confused and frustrated. But I'm starting to make a little progress, so hopefully today I'll make a big breakthrough and I can continue on with my normal work.
Things I am no longer ashamed of liking:
1)boobies
2)my slammin' bod
3)Howie Day
Things I am still ashamed of liking:
1)RPGs
2)TC
3)Ninjas
To thine own self be true, CaptainSexy.
Peace out, homies

Since I got back
Listening to... Howie Day
Hello friends and The Doctor,
I have arrived back at Fermilab with little to no hassle. The amazing thing about a 5 hour drive is that it gets even more boring every time I make it. Fortunately, I only have 2 more of them left before I upgrade to the 10 hour drive. I had a lot of fun this weekend; I only have 2 regrets. First, that I was unable to play my prank on The Doctor, and second, that I was unable to play BennyTee at tennis. I was able to get in all of my desired interactions with TC, though, which I am very happy for. On a side note, I was also able to get in all of my desired interactions with A-Bomb and A-Bomb mark II, if you know what I mean*. Also, I was able to find A-Bomb's missing camera, so she owes me bigtime, if you know what I mean**.
In other news, I have a tennis match today. This will be my 4th match with this guy. In the first 2 matches he smoked me bigtime and in the 3rd match I was able to squeak by him in a tie breaker. So it should be really interesting. He plays with a lot of spin and goes for the weird angles, so playing him involves a lot of running and mishits.
Hey, I went running today. I made it about 2 miles before the heat, my outofshapeness, and other important but unmentioned factors stopped me. I am pretty ashamed of that because I think even a lardo like TC could beat me in a race right now. Yeah, that's right, lardo. I got an email about the Fermilab triathlon yesterday and it reminded me of how awesome being in the Pigman was. It also reminded me about how I've sat on my ass all summer doing nothing physical except for the random tennis match.
So, anyway, I am done talking for now. Hopefully future posts won't be so lame, so I apologize for that. Keep it real, yo.
