It’s okay, Horns, you’re still #1 to me! Still proud to be a Longhorn. \m/
Example of a not-so-good pick-up line.
- Last weekend, I walked out to the front to my car which was parked in the street. For everyone who hasn't been to our apartment, we live next to a really shady house in which a lot of people (who closely resemble hobos) live. One guy, whom I haven't seen before, came walking out of the backyard with a guitar in his hand and decided to talk to me.
- Guy: If I follow you home, will you keep me?
- Me: Um...no.
- Guy: But you've already got me on a leash.
- Me: Uh...no thanks...
- At least I laughed a little...while I was in my car driving away.
College World Series
Now I’m not a baseball fan by any means, BUT I am a Texas fan, so I’ve been watching baseball for the past couple of weeks.
Hook ‘em! We lost last night, sure, but tonight we won with 5 - 1. :) Game 3 tomorrow for the championship! GO HORNS!
Happy Father’s Day! My daddy is the greatest. And SOMEHOW I managed to get him to pay me $100 for dogsitting the dogs and buy me an external hard drive for my laptop. :D
It is also my parents’ 24th wedding anniversary! Congrats to them! Especially since you don’t hear about wedding anniversaries getting to that number nearly as much as you used to these days. :)
South Congress
Work at Acton was pretty enjoyable today. We ordered lunch from Trudy’s and had an intern meeting. Michael was named Alpha Male of our wolf pack, haha. He looked SO smug when they announced this and, of course, he was looking straight at me. He drew me a picture, though.
“Kristin is awesome!” and “It’s a cube…a fast cube.”
Skipped Happy Hour to go down to SoCo with Annie-Lee and Moyo. We wanted to try the different foods from the trailers, but most of them weren’t open AND it was really hot outside (hello Texas summer!).
Since I was with those two, this turned into an opportunity for a photoshoot, of course. The next batch of photos are taken from Annie-Lee (see her Flickr account here!).
There are more on Facebook, but you get the general idea. It all sort of worked out because the three of us are very much into photography (and, not to mention, being photographed). It was so hot, so I ended up buying some froyo from a stand and it was delicious! Of course it had walnuts in it. Nomnomnom.
What adventures does tomorrow hold?
Everyone needs a lazy weekend every now and then.
I had a SUPER lazy weekend. Partly because the Republic of Texas was having their annual Biker Rally and downtown is NOT a place I want to be when that is going on. I’ll have more pictures later, but we could see where they were setting up for Robbie Knievel was going to jump over two Budweiser semi-trucks from our office.
Riso, Stan and I actually went down there to see it up close, but I haven’t uploaded those pictures yet.
I didn’t actually see Kaptain Robbie jump the trucks because they estimated about 200,000 people to be there for it. I’m not one for crowds. Here is the video, though, in case you’re wondering what it looked like.
Other than that, I spent time with my family and watched LOST all weekend. Also, I’m getting more into reading again. I’ve forgotten how nice it is to read for pleasure as opposed to for a class. I’m attempting to read A Widow for One Year by John Irving again.
I say “again” because I’ve gotten sidetracked the last couple of times I’ve tried to read it.
Annie-Lee and I went to go see Up this weekend and it was good! I really loved it.
It had a great message PLUS it was hilarious! People told me that I was going to bawl when I saw it, but I just teared up a bit. “I was hiding under the porch because I love you.”
Also, Albert called me shortly after we got back to the apartment and told me to meet him and his friends at Trudy’s for a couple of drinks. Who am I to say no to hanging out? I like his friends because it’s not super awkward. Y’know, you’re the “new” person in a group of friends (and this is a group of five boys, mind you) that has known each other for a long time/are pretty close and it could be weird and you could feel out of place, but that doesn’t really happen with them. They always include me in conversations and ask me questions, etc. Point is, I had a good time. Plus I haven’t seen any of them since school let out, so it was nice to catch up a little. AND I do like hanging out with just boys. They’re just easier to talk to sometimes.
