BISH! It's great to hear from you! Part of me wanted to post: LOOK! Bish posted! He does exist! The other part of me said: "Don't post, you'll bump his down and people won't see his..." So, in conclusion, I'm just an idiot. But, I'll listen to your advice Bish.
But, my reason for posting... drama? ERRNT! Wrong! More like lack of drama. So girl of the summer has been Lydia. Now, she's not just a girl of the summer. She's always been cool, and I've known her for about 2+ years. And, I certainly wouldn't want to end anything (if there were anything) just because the summer was coming to an end. So, anywho... as I was saying. This is for a lack of drama. So, there's nothing really between Lydia and I, just getting to see each other at church, sunday school, youth group, youth group canoe trip, etc. Well, Lydia has a parent that lives down in Florida, and every summer she goes down to visit all of that side of the family. Well, she leaves Sunday, and all her friends have been trying to get together to hang out before she leaves. So, I asked her for tonight, and actually got it! Whoo! Go nice girls! Well, it was kinda weird. I invited her, and then a friend of hers was looking for something to do. Lydia being the selfless girl that she is invited her along too. This girl I had somewhat met through Xanga. But, ya know, I was torn. It was like... my night with Lydia... My chance... The other part of me was like: "You don't have a chance anyways, Jason. Probably help things and reduce awkward moments."
So, I figured, it's Lydia's night out, let her do what she wants. So, her friend, (actually ends up being a cousin) Brenda, comes along. My first time meeting her. Pretty cool girl. And Lydia's a cool, nice Julie/Andrea -type girl.
Well, we went to Aurellio's Pizza place. Pretty good pizza place for around here. Sit down restraunt, but still comfortable casual. The girls insisted on at least picking up the tip, and there didn't seem to be much I could do to stop them. So, they paid a nice tip for the waitress. Then we went Mini-golfing, for which, God answered prayer and had the rain stop. I think they had a good time. I think 18 holes might be too much for them... Well, Lydia says she hasn't been mini-golfing in a long time, so she'll go first. She steps up to the first hole and swings, hole in one! Unbelievable. She had some great shots. Finished the first 9 holes and I was ahead by only a few strokes. I said that whoever wins should choose where we go for dessert. I offer the choices of Steak 'n' Shake, Baker's Square, or Ice Deli and walk through a park, or Dairy Queen, or if they can think of anything else. Well, I end up winning the game as a total, but since I decided it at half-time with me having the lead, it's kinda biased odds. So, if anything, we should base it off only the last half, which Lydia had 25, I had 27, and Brenda had 37 (Par 24, if you're wondering). So, Lydia made the choice and we went to Steak 'n' Shake. All got shakes and then we were running against the clock, I don't think being late for curfew would be a good first impression... So, we make it home in time, not that big of deal, but maybe that's me. I drop Brenda off, and then go to drop Lydia off. We're having a discussion about how I don't know what to do when I drop a person (girl, specifically?) off. I mean, I know, but I was trying to find out for sure. So, I sorta walk Lydia up to her door, and it's pretty awkward, I mean, I wasn't going up for a kiss or even a hug or anything, I just... am old-fashioned, I guess. I tell her to have fun in Florida, and she says "Thanks. I had a good time, mini-golf was fun." Well, she goes in, and I walk back to my car. She turns around and says "... See ya... later." I turn around to see her Mom opening the door for her, and closing it again. So, I guess that's it.
Am I satisfied? Will that goodbye last me a month? Am I okay with falling for another girl that I can't get? Am I accepting 'just friends' status or am I still fighting for more?

Yo everyone!
I'min San Diego right now. I just wanna say it's amazing down here and God is doing awesome stuff all the time. Jason, don't worry about chicks and stuff God's got it all planned out for you. Just wait it out. I had one relationship that in retrospect was a big mess and I'vemet guys down here actually happy they've never had a gf or messed uptheir purity.
Count yourself fortunate.
I'm out, it's past curfew and I got a long day tomorrow.

Wow... That last post was depressing. Some sorry sap wrote that...
On a much brighter note, I got to play Ultimate today. We had 5 vs. 6 at our greatest numbers. It was pretty good games too. The wind was a bit of a factor, but that's just because people are learning to play and they toss it up too high. It doesn't do too much damage since Jake and I can read the frisbee. But, it trickled down to a 4 v. 4 game later on. We had the greatest team: Jake, Lydia, another guy coming to UoI in 1 year, and myself. Heh... so it wasn't fair teams, but it's how the frisbee flipped. We had that game go quick. We then had fair teams for the next game and it was great.
Well... that's made my day. Plus, I mean, even if I wasn't able to toss a frisbee around, I was still able to hang with my friends. We even had a picnic beforehand.
Bish, you would've been proud.
Jules, you still around? Or absorbed in too much work? Are you doing any sorta vacationing this summer?
Later ya'll,
Jason

Hey all...
Sorry to rewind like this, but I was wanting to go back to something Bish said a while ago. It was on the multiple choice things. The letter "e." Basically, I want to say, you're right, Bish. I don't need a girlfriend. I haven't even had a girlfriend (when I would be old/mature enough to understand what I'm getting into). But for some reason I've made them out to be the end all, and be all. I guess that's the part where I've messed up. I believe I was at the point of: having a girlfriend equals having happiness. In fact, I'm sure some of the guys in relationships right now, would tell me it's quite the opposite.
Now, aggressive creative dating sounds fun and all(swanky 70's clothes?), but I'm not sure it's the answer. Mainly, for the exact same reason, there is no guarantee.
But, even though I can reason all of this out, it doesn't stop me from being attracted and it doesn't stop me from looking at some of these girls and realizing how awesome they are, and how awesome they'd be as "more than friends."
I don't want to be at a point where I find the perfect girl for me, and I have to convince her I'd be good enough for her. It shouldn't have to be about persuasion or compromising so early.
Well, right now, I'm emotionally and mentally a mess, so I should just sorta cool down before I seriously (emotionally or mentally) hurt somebody.
Best thing to look forward to: Manteno Ultimate Frisbee! Next Sunday! Come join if you'd like. Come join even if you "aren't able to" or "have work." *cough*Jules*cough*
Well, I'm out...
Jason

Wehee! Good day yesterday!
E-mail from a friend clarified lots of things, so my mind is lightened. I leapt over the ditch full of water and then went jogging, and went jogging further than I expected, so that felt good, tiring, but good. Then mowed the grass. This crazy weather waters and gives sun to the grass so it grows right back in a day or two.
So, sorry for the lack of drama...
I'm outta here!
~Jason
P.S. I figured it out Jules. We'll (my wife and I) have kids to do the chores for us. That's how it'll work.
