"Hi, I'm Brian Bish and I like to leave my windows open and my accounts signed in."
Well, let's see what we've got here.
Regarding Bish's "7+ hour pledge":
You should not shortchange yourself with the desire for sleep. Humans can function quite easily on 3-5 per night. (I'm living proof!) And yes you could counter with my numerous naps that I seem to often take, but that's not because I'm tired or need sleep. It's just because I LIKE to sleep. It's like this: you have an hour of nothing to do. You could:
A. Do homework. Bish usually takes this option.
B. Browse internet. Jason does this.
C. Read something. Looking at you Jake.
D. Go to girlfriend's. Tom.
E. Play video games. A path often taken.
F. Sleep.
Sleeping is always a viable option, even if you're "not tired." It feels really nice, except for the 15 minute coolup period after you wake up an feel weird.
However, sleep is NEVER necessary, as anyone who's stayed up until 5 am+ and then gotten 2 hours of sleep and felt fine can attest to. Of course, if you do your homework in the early afternoon...........
Topic 2: The whole asking out thing. Any time a girl ever complains that they aren't being asked out (enough?), just respond, "So how many guys have YOU asked out?" They'll quickly become silent. I do applaud the efforts of the guys of Blaisdell 4 for their ego-risking dating manuevers. You won't often see me try some of the things they have. Actually, you'll probably NEVER see me try any of those things, seeing as I'm a coward at heart socially.
Anyhoo, I'm pumped about this weekend, as I don't really have any outstanding things I need to get done academically. See some of you this weekend.

Poor Joe:
Joe went for my sloppy forehand throw and ended up having his chin get ripped open on the sidewalk. A bunch of stitches later, he's ok. But that was my night.
And the Cardinals sucked. Oh well, they gave us a great season of baseball until the end.
That was my night, no female drama as usual (lately anyway). Peace homies.

Hey! The WPOD is back.
Wait, it was never gone. Anyhoo......
Bish is in a purely dramaless state right now. Quite the interesting situation, and quite unusual all the same. Jason's got his shady dealings going on right now, and he's thinking of doing something stupid. Go for it! Doing stupid stuff is awesome. I do stupid stuff, probably about once per semester at this rate. It's always a lot of fun to look back on all the stupid stuff done. I kinda did a few posts ago.
I missed barndance and that stinks.
In other news, I've made a commitment to get 7-9 hours of sleep (no more, no less) every night. So far I've been tired when I want to go to bed and relatively awake when I get up. It's really nice, and my days have been so much more productive than before. I actually do work in the afternoon! It's like freshman year again... man, I didn't realize it but those 20 hours of class were really taking a lot out of me. It's 10:13 and I could actually go and hang out with people.
I think I will!
Talk to everyone later,
Bish

Book of Bish : Chapter 6
"You have heard it said that it was said, 'Do not be shady'; but I say to you that everyone who even thinks about doing something shady has already commited shadiness in his heart. If your right eye makes you shady, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to become shady. If you right hand causes you to be shady, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is beter for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to become shady."

"The way I see it, a girl should be willing to go on at least one date with a guy that asks her."
~ A wise man (Anonymous only because I don't have his permission to quote him on that)
Our species is facing disastrous times, now and in the future, as you can see from Bish's list below. We are being afflicted by a ravaging disease, NGS. The male species is the only sector being affected. NGS has no effect on females, although they are carriers and should be deemed highly contagious. Be careful not to discriminate against them though, it is not their fault.
No one is sure where NGS originally stemmed from, sociologists believe it is a product of their environment, while psychologists believe it stems from somewhere inside, (i.e. personality or self-perception), although this may just be fighting for government funding...
Some think NGS may be spread through biological agents, such as hormones and pheromones. Others think that it has even harnessed the power of light and is able to piggy-back off of photons and infect males just through sight! We're working with some powerful stuff here!
Symptoms to look for in carriers: Over-responsiveness to male's vain attempts to court her, flirtatious behavior, smiling and giggling, or surrounded by a guy with a look of hope in his eye almost constantly.
Symptoms of those infected by NGS: Increased time away from home, sometimes giddiness may occur, willingness to do things abnormal to their behavior patterns, increased stalker-related behaviors, such as constant scanning of away messages or reading blogs/LiveJournals/Xanga of the carrier, and finally increased checking of self-image/personal hygiene.
Now, not all of these are bad things, heck increase in personal hygiene is an incredible benefit for those around the infected male.
The biggest problem with NGS, Nice Girl Syndrome, is that it gets our hopes up. False hope is better than no hope? It sounds like a line from a movie. Over-analysts are completely obscured by NGS, their readings can't be trusted. She might just be a nice girl and not actually care whether it's you or the hobo down the street that comes and steps on the spider for her(random example, not specific to anybody). It's not her fault, and guys should not blame girls for being nice. In fact, we should try to emulate them. Too often it seems for me, at least, that I only get to know a girl while I am liking her. The amount I know her increases as a function of time as I continue to "dig her chili." After progressing to reaching the absolute maximum, I go and do something foolish. I ask her out on a date/ to do something. So far, it has been the absolute maximum and not proven to be a local maximum, because every single time, the relationship starts decreasing. Fortunately, after a time of awkwardness where the function flat-lines, it increases again, and I have a really good friend that I know really well.
So, if I could get to know some girls without liking them I would be where I want to be, a carrier of NGS (Nice Guy Syndrome, in this case). Unfortunately, this is incredibly unlikely to happen, because the more I get to know a girl, the more I come to the realization of her awesomeness. With awesomeness comes desire to have a girl with such awesomeness and solidity.
So, my shadiness has been increasing, I am sometimes giddy, and I've gotta leave the blog in order to go take a shower before CRU... Crap, I think I'm infected.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm infected, but I don't know whether or not this is NGS or a progression of a relationship? Well, I'd give it less than two weeks before I do something stupid and we find the absolute maximum.
Right... to the BatShower!
(I apologize for all the speech about functions and maximums, etc. I know... too much engineering. And the "BatShower"? What was I thinking?)

So, tonight I found out that perfectly normal (or should I say better than normal) girls think something's wrong with them because they don't get asked on dates. Men! WHY DON'T YOU ASK GIRLS ON DATES?
Oh wait, hold on a second... they do! (at least us PAR guys) But we all know what happens then. There'a few possible situations that we over here in PAR have experienced:
1. Ask the girl out and find out she's growing in her faith and can't date you accordingly, while writing you 4 page long letters full of sentimental crap (and giving the guy candy too!)
2. Find out the girl doesn't like the blog or cuss words like "sucks" or "crap" (not compatible with me, although her preferences are totally respected).
3. Ask the girl on a date, make out with her, break up, and then have some weird quasi relationship where the girl won't make up her mind.
4. Ask the girl on a date (awesomely), have her say yes and then have her not go on the date with you.
5. The girl stays over in the room for the night, totally romantic-style. Then, she makes the relationship official, claims no spark, and then goes back to her ex-bf. Sure it has a happy ending, but still...
WHY WOULD WE EVER PUT OURSELVES THROUGH THIS CRAP!?!?!?!?
Sorry ladies, we tried. I kinda felt bad for the girls not getting asked out until I realized that we, over here in PAR, have done our share. I don't think many non PAR guys read this, but if you do you are getting called out.
Officially.
And the thing is, we're not done over here. We'll continue to ask girls out and get owned until we finally find a girl gullible enough to date us. Ha! Until then though, I'll remain bitter and non-sympathetic for you other girls. Girls haven't done us well, and we have no sympathy.
Anyways, my weekend rocked. Go SDSP 2004 I love you all and everything else. You know it, and I'll see you sometime... maybe some crazy style road trips this summer. I hope so anyway.

Hey! I've got no drama to post! Yay for that!
But, here's a link to my webpage!
Why's this interesting? It has pictures on it, so far only our creative date, but more to come soon! It's still under construction and review, it needs a bit more variety on the color and some pictures, but it'll get there.
Have a great weekend,
~Jason

Becky and Jules are two awesome people that make me feel better. Last night I received shady star #2 for going to hang out with Jules until 2:15 a.m. There was nothing really shady about it, I just had to get out of this room and do something. I couldn't get to sleep.
So, round 2 for yays and boos.
Yay to Jules for staying up late and talking to me. Yay to friends that are awesome. Yay to PAR and to the people living here next year! Yay to a (hopefully) drama free couple weeks until I end up liking a different girl! Yay to a sleep schedule that doesn't rely on 3 hour naps in the middle of the day! Yay to physics 214 and physics in general being done FOREVER! And yay for others' maturity through weird situations. Yay for the Cards!
Boo to confusion, boo to sleep deprivation and boo to depression. Boo to feeling dumb.
Yay to "God pre-ordained everything that happened." Yay to the past being over, and yay to good times to come. Yay for a lot of school year left. Yay for randomly remembering the "untouchable" and all of the hilarious drama of the past.
Good night!

Yo world!
So, guess what I learned in D time tonight?
1. I can (would be allowed to) pop the zit on Derek's lip with my teeth. Explosive pus in mouth... mmm.....
2. Derek has a prosthetic nipple!
3. The prosthetic nipple is pierced, and after I bite into Derek's lip it (the lip) will be pierced with a chain and the chain will be connected to the nipple.
4. The prosthetic nipple has a resistor on it (for heat). It also conducts an electric field between the two nipples.
Weird.

Listening to: Stupidly happy music by the Beatles!
Sup everybody! My weekend has been a roller coaster of a ride. I'm not stupid (or naive) enough to post the actual drama on this website anymore. But, that's ok. This isn't really about real drama anymore.
That said, being an authentic man as per the authentic manhood series kinda blows. It's not easy, and although the long term advantages FAR outweigh the short term problems, a list of the short term problems follow:
1. Reject passivity = Get your ego handed back to you destroyed.
2. Accept responsibility = Do the honorable thing and get hosed.
3. Lead courageously = Get shot down when nobody likes your ideas.
4. Expect God's greater reward = There's nothing wrong with this. But this isn't specific to men, I hope.
This is a very pessimistic view. It seems though, at this point, I've made a commitment to the above four things. So, I guess it's time for round two! More punishment!
But, I realized something tonight. When I broke up with Erin, I shouldn't have bought her ice cream afterwards. It sucked, regardless of whether or not I buy her ice cream. I made myself feel a little better, but I probably just made her like me a little more (maybe ice cream a little less). Ya know? I thought it'd be nice and kinda ease the pain of the seemingly sudden break up. But it didn't. I destroyed the world as she knew it in 15 minutes of talking. I had been preparing for it for a long time, so it wasn't bad for me. How could I have expected her to understand? It's funny how these things all play out. I mean, obviously Erin and I are cool now, but it took a while to get there. I should have conducted myself differently, although I'm still not sure if there was any good way to go about what I did.
Thinking really kinda sucks. It's better to go through life without it.
After that ultra depressing Dashboard-song-like rant, I think I'd like to say that there are a lot of awesome things too.
1. Men don't give birth.
2. Men can be elders in the church.
3. Men have an economic advantage in the work place, especially if you're white.
Also, in defense of the authentic manhood stuff, there's something to be said for doing the right thing and getting hosed. I mean, it's inherently good because it's the right thing. And that has merit of itself. I can expect that, if I do the right thing enough(provided the right thing means acting in faith), that things will work out for my good anyway (Rom. 8:28) [note: my good may not be ANY time soon]. And the advantage of doing the right thing in front of other people means that you'll be a good example. And that's good for some reason, even if I'm not sure why right now.
Other good things: The creative date was sweet, with an amazing job by Jason Jake and Nick. They are totally amazing (steady and unchanging?) =P Katie Russel is living in PAR or FAR (maybe) next year. I knew someone would do it! God's so amazing, and so is she. The girls of PAR will no longer be in the dark, but hopefully we'll reach all of PAR with the Gospel, and not just the guys.
I also have heard that, if you add the football and hockey scores of the weekend together, we beat Michigan by 1 point. GO ILLINI! And also, since hockey points are worth more than non hockey points, we did a little bit more than one point better than them. And just wait until basketball season.....
And my sickness is slowly getting better. Weirdly, I've been tired but unable to sleep. That's the main reason I'm up at 1:40 with an 8:00 class. And a test tomorrow. I should really have studied for the test more than an hour. Ehh... ok.
So, here's the crappy list, it kinda puts into perspective how crappy my situation actually is. From crappiest on the left to less crappy on the right.
Not being saved < paralyzed < ebola virus < aids < starving < not having water < stranded on island < weird relationship stuff < no soap
So, I still got soap. But just for a little bit, it's actually running low.
And on that incredibly random note, I am off to sleep. Goodnight world!

PS: This is all edited at 3:55 AM. What's up people? I know I am making this the longest post ever, but wait, there's even more! In the first 5 hours of Monday, so much has happened. Obviously, I'm still awake. The subject: happiness.
Happiness is an interesting thing. My friend Drew had the crappiest weekend ever (I mean it) and was really pissed off at life. So after ranting for so long to me over the IM I drive at 2:30 over to Sherman to pick him up. We go to IHOP and drink coffee (2 cups, wee!!!!) and talk about life. He was (maybe still is) really depressed. We talked about some stuff. The main thing, though, is the fleeting nature of happiness in this life. It's really short lived. What can you do to change your own personal happiness?
I realized that happiness, based on your personal circumstances, is stupid. It's never gonna last. The concept of a "perfectly happy normal life" is a joke and doesn't exist outside of God. I'm fully convinced. Who's happy? Find people with faith, they'll be happy. My own life sucked until I put God first, and though it hasn't been all stinkin' happy go lucky every day ever since, it's been a heck of a lot better. Everything in this world ends. God doesn't.
It's 4:09 and I've had the most RANDOM day ever. And it's not even 25% over. Goodnight ppl, wish me luck on my physics final. I've studied for an hour.
Peace,

Sup everybody! My weekend has been a roller coaster of a ride. I'm not stupid (or naive) enough to post the actual drama on this website anymore. But, that's ok. This isn't really about real drama anymore.
That said, being an authentic man as per the authentic manhood series kinda blows. It's not easy, and although the long term advantages FAR outweigh the short term problems, a list of the short term problems follow:
1. Reject passivity = Get your ego handed back to you destroyed.
2. Accept responsibility = Do the honorable thing and get hosed.
3. Lead courageously = Get shot down when nobody likes your ideas.
4. Expect God's greater reward = There's nothing wrong with this. But this isn't specific to men, I hope.
This is a very pessimistic view. It seems though, at this point, I've made a commitment to the above four things. So, I guess it's time for round two! More punishment!
But, I realized something tonight. When I broke up with Erin, I shouldn't have bought her ice cream afterwards. It sucked, regardless of whether or not I buy her ice cream. I made myself feel a little better, but I probably just made her like me a little more (maybe ice cream a little less). Ya know? I thought it'd be nice and kinda ease the pain of the seemingly sudden break up. But it didn't. I destroyed the world as she knew it in 15 minutes of talking. I had been preparing for it for a long time, so it wasn't bad for me. How could I have expected her to understand? It's funny how these things all play out. I mean, obviously Erin and I are cool now, but it took a while to get there. I should have conducted myself differently, although I'm still not sure if there was any good way to go about what I did.
Thinking really kinda sucks. It's better to go through life without it.
After that ultra depressing Dashboard-song-like rant, I think I'd like to say that there are a lot of awesome things too.
1. Men don't give birth.
2. Men can be elders in the church.
3. Men have an economic advantage in the work place, especially if you're white.
Also, in defense of the authentic manhood stuff, there's something to be said for doing the right thing and getting hosed. I mean, it's inherently good because it's the right thing. And that has merit of itself. I can expect that, if I do the right thing enough(provided the right thing means acting in faith), that things will work out for my good anyway (Rom. 8:28) [note: my good may not be ANY time soon]. And the advantage of doing the right thing in front of other people means that you'll be a good example. And that's good for some reason, even if I'm not sure why right now.
Other good things: The creative date was sweet, with an amazing job by Jason Jake and Nick. They are totally amazing (steady and unchanging?) =P Katie Russel is living in PAR or FAR (maybe) next year. I knew someone would do it! God's so amazing, and so is she. The girls of PAR will no longer be in the dark, but hopefully we'll reach all of PAR with the Gospel, and not just the guys.
I also have heard that, if you add the football and hockey scores of the weekend together, we beat Michigan by 1 point. GO ILLINI! And also, since hockey points are worth more than non hockey points, we did a little bit more than one point better than them. And just wait until basketball season.....
And my sickness is slowly getting better. Weirdly, I've been tired but unable to sleep. That's the main reason I'm up at 1:40 with an 8:00 class. And a test tomorrow. I should really have studied for the test more than an hour. Ehh... ok.
So, here's the crappy list, it kinda puts into perspective how crappy my situation actually is. From crappiest on the left to less crappy on the right.
Not being saved < paralyzed < ebola virus < aids < starving < not having water < stranded on island < weird relationship stuff < no soap
So, I still got soap. But just for a little bit, it's actually running low.
And on that incredibly random note, I am off to sleep. Goodnight world!

Now all of you internet freaks that don't actually know us but still read this (for some reason) are one step closer to stalking us! That really is a great pic of us though. Man, Jason is so hot.
Seriously.

Hey everyone! The shady star, seen here, was received for studying Geology with Dave Bernthal. Man, I'm out of control.

"ok, just read you're blog entry...so yeah, they should both still ask her out...bro B for lunch and bro A for barndance. to be honest, only God knows if it's gonna work out. let her decide. neither one has any claim on her. that's what it's supposed to be all about, winnin' over the girl. if it's really "bros before h**", then a mature bro would be able to handle it by lettin' the girl decide. i realize that sayin' this opens up a can of worms, but if ya think about it, that's a lot like it happened back in the days when girls actually got asked out just to have fun and dates were a fun night out on the town...when i say "back in the day", i mean like 50 years ago. things my grandparents and parents used to talk about. so yeah, like i said, even as i sit and think about it now, i think i just opened up a can of worms, but that's what the relationship world is..."a can o' worms"" -anonymous
A can 'o worms it is! Wise words from a good friend, I need to go bust a move.
I love cryptic and anonymous posts.

Hypothetical situations based on reality crack me up. Get this one.
I arrive to lunch with "Bro A," and we grab our food and sit down. He's like, "What's the girl situation with you like?" So I tell him, and ask, "What about you?" He says, "Well I like girl X, and I think I'm gonna ask her to barndance." Sweet man, good luck, I say.
Arrive "Bro B." He sits down next to "Bro A" and a few other people join us. As we hang out, he's like, "I'm taking girl X out to lunch on a date tomorrow." "Bro A" doesn't hear it. I think he's messing with "Bro A," so I am like, "what, really?" "Bro B" says, "Yeah, why are you laughin'?"
I stop laughing. "Uh, yeah she's a cool girl" I say. They both like the same girl.
"Bro A" finally overhears. "Who's a cool girl?" he asks.
"Girl X," Bro B replies. "I'm taking her out for lunch on Saturday."
Awkward! Both guys are sitting there liking the same girl, but only one of them knows and he plans to ask her to barndance.... meanwhile, the other has already asked her to lunch. What does a bro do?
I pondered this... it's not as easy, they both made claims for the girl, one even has a date with her. But it's only a date, and neither of them knew about the other. Now, they both know. Does "Bro A" still ask her out? I have absolutely no idea. Help! My "Bros before hos" theory doesn't help here, this situation is out of context. I think it somewhat depends on the closeness of the friendship. I really don't know at all. Girls are temporary, but your best friends are eternal.... unless that's your wife. But that doesn't count.
I'd leave names but I only get in trouble.

OK. So I totally got owned today. I mean, owned. Like on a scale from 1 to complete ownage, it was a 9.997.
Here's the deal: say, for instance, I leave my room to use Jake's comp for regression analysis (his version of excel is better than mine). I email the thing completed excel file to myself. I leave email open.
He writes a love letter to somebody, saves it as a draft, and puts it in my sent folder. So, not knowing, I stumble upon this love letter and think that they actually sent it. Freaking out, I run into their room and cuss them out and beat them with a big cardboard tube. Of course, I was smiling the entire time, because the love letter itself was hilarious. Then I yell at them, thinking that they actually sent it. I yell at them for a long time. And they laugh. They laughed long and hard.
My thought processes were hilarious too. "How can I turn this into something good?" "Has she read it yet?" "OMG I CANT BELIEVE THEY DID THAT I HAVE TO CUSS AT THEM AND BEAT THEM WITH THIS CARDBOARD TUBE!!!!!"
Like I told them then, I am proud of them. That was the most awesome joke ever. The lines from it still in my head, "I love you more than Derek loves to quote scripture." "My love for you is greater than all the stars in the sky." "I love you with all my heart, mind, soul, and body."
So, forget dating, just ask the girl to marry me... hmm, the ideas from the fake love letter are so tempting.
Moral of the story (by Andrew): Always log out of the email.
Peace homies,

Howdy folks!
I realized sometime ago that the WPOD (remember, the acronym gives it credibility) isn't a source of actual drama. Everybody I know reads the thing, so for the sake of minimizing gossip I can't actually say anything. Even vague references are easily decoded into real names and times.
The solution was presented to me by my good friend Andy Clark. He suggested we make a secret blog that we read and we can vent on. We can say anything we want! And these are my at home friends so they know me, arguably, as well as anyone else if not better. Definitely not worse.
So I'm excited to be writing another blog for my own personal satisfaction in addition to this one, which is hopefully for the reading enjoyment of everyone else. As soon as I get some drama I'll post some hypothetical situations or somethin' on here and we can discuss.
Happy B-DAY to Jason and Nick, my good homies from the P-Unit and I hope everyone has a good week! Being a teenager wasn't everything it was cracked up to be, was it Jason?
Peace out!

Woo for awesome girls and baked goods! Bish, I'm buying you out one territory at a time. I knew it was wise to claim all those girls' stock early on.
Seriously though, Thanks Jules! You rock! Have fun at Anatomy and your weekend retreat if I don't get to see you before.

Hello hello my dears!!
Ok really, all i hafta say is you guys seriously crack me up. Gotta love "shady" dealings, whether they are in reality or not, that's a whole other story! But I'm glad you guys had a good time @ getaway....still disappointed i couldnt go...sigh...but I must admit, i love hearing the random stories from the weekend!!! But anywho, we def. need some frisbee soon, and i' m dying to have a random crazy adventure sometime soon....maybe 2 am cookies, maybe something else, who knows? but something, okey dokey???? let's get some ideas going!!! have a good night my dears!! ~Julie

Actually Bish, I believe the shady star was initialized when you left with only a quick unexplained leaving, not the Busey date. You went to study with somebody (male) and was back around 10, or so the story goes...
On another note...
I'm sure the ladies would've prefered to cook you something, a hot oven would warm you up as they cook some baked goods. But, alas, no oven, so a group hug would have to suffice.
And, now, in the proper setting... This post seems so much funnier. Sorry, everybody, guess you had to be there, or have to be here... (PAR rocks!)

Welcome back loyal fans!
I'm feelin' good and stupid right now, so I guess it's time for me to get myself in trouble.
Haha... no Jason, I won't actually get you in trouble now.
So, Fall Getaway was awesome, as expected. I got to hang out with a lot of people, meet new people and it was all around good times. Although the guys may call me "shady" for my dealings with women, I think that I've been pretty legit lately. So what if I didn't come home Sunday night, I didn't stay in a girl's room. Who does that anyway?
I want to turn the discussion now to the creation of the "shady star." The "shady star" was created as a result of me going to Busey last week with Jules, which was a fun time. It's funny because originally there were study bucks, then this year they decided to change it to study stars. They were given out when people were studying in the open and they'd get a chance to be in a raffle for free stuff. Now, there's the shady star. Supposedly the raffle is who's gonna get pummeled by the guys. Everyone knows that shady things go on, especially Kendra. (I'd quote her, but I forget exactly what she said). I like the shady star. When people are shady they need to get called out. But I don't deserve a shady star for sleeping on Dave's couch Sunday night.
That said, what did I do on Fall Getaway to get called shady? Well..... here's what they say. I think all parties reading this will enjoy it. I'm in my shorts and flip flops, and it's about -40 degrees outside (ok, maybe that's a slight exageration). After sitting there for maybe an hour or hour and a half, I'm sick of being cold. So I try to go over to the fire to get warm. I can't get close enough to be warm, so I go back to my seat, which is underneath Erin and Leanne's blankets and between them. Maybe another half hour later, I'm still sick of being cold. So I say, "I wish there was something we could do to get warm." Immediately, they all scrunch together. The guys later mock me saying, "Bish, I'm cold, cuddle with me. Group hug."
So that's pretty funny if you ask me, esp. considering somehow it resulted in me being more cold. But I didn't think it was shady.
And now Jason claims to be the least shady of us all. This is somewhat true. Michael, however, defined shadiness as "having a social life." That's no good, because Jason does have a social life. I think it's better to leave shady undefined. We all kinda know what it means, so let's just leave it at that.
And on the note of being shady, let's go ice skating Friday! It's only a buck. I'm officially going.
How is that shady? We'll see with time..... we'll see with time.....
Peace homies!

Wow! Let me be the first one from the WPoD to declare that Fall GetAway was awesome! It was just a great break of routine and an all-around shady-free weekend!
Well, one thing I learned from this weekend is that classic lines still work...
Start with just your average Joe (+3 to INT and Charisma).
Surround him with 3 girls.
Place a romantic setting (i.e. Campfire underneath bright shining stars, just an example)
Guy: "I wish there was some way to keep warm..."
Girls: "Group hug!"
Discontented guy standing behind: "*cough*shady*cough*"
But, the above is just an example, not referring to any inparticular instance.
As for me, my weekend was relatively relaxed and shiny (opposite of shady?), except for an increasing amount of chatter between myself and another. So, I don't know how much hope I exactly have to put in that, kinda afraid of just falling for a nice girl. It's really just hard to explain or it at least feels hard to explain.
So, overall the weekend was awesome, and I've already caught up with all the homework I didn't do. I've just got one test tonight which I'm going to study for right now! Thursday we'll be initializing Creative Date 1! Excited for that, boy howdy! Then ice skating this Friday! w00t! Everybody better be there!
