I've been reverted to 8th grade social dynamics unwillingly. At least Lauren is there with me.

Any advice on how to conquer 8th grade and obliterate high school and return to being in my Junior year of university should be submitted immediately. Thank you.

Yet another quiz and yet another predictable answer:

"You are probably a fun date but can be overwhelming to shy guys."

And as the WCCO Radio billboard on 94W reads: "NO DUH!" So does this mean that I should work on changing myself to become less fun and less overwhelming? My thoughts: Hell no! How about if I just find someone that has as much fun as I do and doesn't get overwhelmed? Good plan, Kristen.

Chicago Highlights
1. There were two objectives in going to Chi-Town this weekend, as follows:
A. To sleep next to Matt (Roma-Matt, that is).
B. To drink...and drink heavily.
I'm happy to say I successfully completed my listed goals (to all of you who I know were worrying).
2. Smoke slowly filled the basement as the boys and I drank our beer and played poker (on an actual poker table). It was Maverick-like at times. I only played with other's money (a good idea on my part!!!)
3. We went to a bar to visit an great old-timer, Mr. Ping. Frank, the 80-year old bartender, served me beer (Kristen was a happy girl!)
4. Partied at someone's apartment...more free alcohol (Kristen was a very happy girl!)

I visited my sister and friend in Rockford on the way there and back. All in all that was the best weekend I've had for a long, long time...I've come back to the frozen tundra of Minnesota a refreshed and happy woman. Thanks, boys...you make me smile.

Ingrid and Alex put a smile on my face. I went out to eat with Ingrid...three and a half hours and 4 total trips to the bathroom between the two of us later...life is good again. The bitter cold, expensive deep dish pizza and getting my ass kicked while playing Rummy 500 (I maintain Alex was cheating) made the evening of work enjoyable. Thanks all...

Life is well...reverting back to the summer after my Junior year in High School. (Revolting, Jennabelle???) I wasn't a big fan of that summer...but I'm trying my best to become a fan of this Winter Break. I'm not succeeding.

Highlight of the past couple of days: I kicked Al's ass in Monopoly, however. That and he won me over by giving me a present of a LATIN picture book! It is not a great translation (which is no problem, I will just read the Latin). BIG HUGS to Alex. Thank you.

Not so much a fan of these happenings from the past couple of days: My dear friend, Adrianne, has flown to the most beautiful country ever (read: Italy). And I will be in Minnesota taking a science class (read: feel sorry for me and send wishes of good luck). Anna is in the hospital. Matt hasn't called drunk forever (no love coming from mio bello). Matt (from O-Town) was supposed to be up here...where is he? (Read: I'm whining!!!)

Realization in my life: I'm loving my family and getting along with them really well. Friends of mine are having difficulties with this whenever they come home from feeling oh-so-independent at college. Thank God (and my parents) that isn't happening to me...I am taking full advantage of being dependent on my parents. Think of being at home this way: free laundry, free food, hugs whenever you need it, free movies, good memories...happiness :) (but then I have to leave again).
