Man I suck at keeping this journal updated. I tend to be somewhat moody, so I try my best not to make entries when I'm too high or low just because I don't want to go back and read them later and be disgusted at what I was thinking. Lately things have been both very good and pretty bad, so I guess I'm balanced out enough for an entry today.
I finally bumped into Laila at the dog park and got her number. I forgot how awkward it feels to me to stone cold ask a person out, so I talked to her about softball and got her number so that she can play on a team with me this year. We went to the batting cages this past Saturday, and I was able to parlay that into going to a AAA baseball game that night. Overall things went really well. I really like this girl and I get a good vibe from her. So, of course, when I called Monday I got her VM and I left a simple message saying that I had fun Saturday and wanted to see if she was up for anything this coming weekend. No call back so far ... which isn't horribly unexpected because it took her a few days to get back to me the first time, but I just hate waiting for calls.
With both of my roommates moving out I have advertised on a website called roommates.com that I have a space for rent. The best possibility is a couple of girls that want to move out here in September and live together. It would be perfect for me since I was really only looking to rent out a single room, but renting both (and getting paid double) is a big bonus. The other good / bad side is that one of the girls looks REALLY cute. And I'm all for being around cute girls, but even thinking about dating a roommate seems like bad karma ... and it opens all sorts of doors for uncomfortableness. Hopefully by then I'll be with Laila anyway and it won't be an issue. :-P And that's IF they decide that they want to live at my place, which at this point they haven't. I like to drive with the wagon in front of the horse.....
On the gaming front, WoW released their PvP honor system this week. As a reminder, I play on a non-PvP server as a Horde. Well, on my server the Alliance outnumber the Horde something like 2.6 to 1. So ever since the patch it seems like whenever I travel to a Horde town there are dead guards and skeletons everywhere. On the plus side, the Alliance seem so busy killing everything in sight that they don't take time to /spit, /rude, etc anymore. So that's nice.
