| So yeah I finally got the job at J.Crew weeks ago... not that any of you who read this don't know that already... I figured I'd make it official by putting it here.
Mainly I unload trucks, tho sometimes I will go and help out with "material handling" which just means making sure the QC people have enough to work on and getting the stuff they've finished processing out of their way. Did that mostly my second week, but then they hired a new guy, and he usually does that now, freeing me up to do trucks all the time. Woohoo. I'd much rather stay working on the trucks than material handling anyway. Less stress and easier to look busy all the time. Plus, less walking, that's a plus. It's a good amount more lifting tho, but I don't mind too much, maybe I'll get some guns outta this!  Yeah, I know... probably not.. but I can dream, can't I? They would be pretty cool to have... maybe distract from the bit of chub I've put on the last few years... haha.

| Wow, look... my page still exists!!
Sooo this week I officially ended my part-time employeeship at church, now becoming a spare guy in case of special events. Not positive where I'll work next, but J. Crew looks like a good enough option, at least for now.
Due to red tape and stuff at LU (normal for them lol) I didn't get everything straightened out to attend there this semester, but should be ready for next semester back there.
There's a ton of stuff that's happened since my last post, but most of ya'll reading this sould already know about it, or at least the part of my life that you care about anyway.
I'm too lazy to really type anymore for now, but Ginats won the Super Bowl WOOOT Suck on that, Patriots!

| Sunburned -_- Rigt on my face arms and shoulders... the dumb part is Aaron wore some sunblock and got burnt some too, so I didn't stand much chance.
Today absolutely sucked. And by today I actually mean yesterday, since it's past 3am now. Got up early (well early for me lol) to go to a funeral for a friend's grandpa, and apparently in addition to the New Hope Baptist Church on 460, there is one in Appamattox, which is where the funeral was actually at, while I sat in the one on 460's parking lot and wondered where everybody was. >_<
Then it was off to work where I got my fabulous (read: not so much) sunburn, not to mention working in absolutely miserable conditions.
After work the day got slightly better, as I came home, showered, and got a nap. Then we (Mom, Dad, Emily, me, and Kevin) went to Sonic for the free root beer floats, which when we got them the ice cream was completely melted, leaving us with a creamy root beer.
Then I got online to do some gaming, only to find one of my favorite Counter Strike servers had changed things up a lil in a way that wasn't really fun, and after switching back to my own server, just ran into a lot of bad luck, getting hit by stray bullets for insanely high amounts of damage, while watching billets go right thru enemies. On top of that two of the guys that joined our server turned out to be buttholes, testing my patience, which, due to the other events I have mentioned here, was already strained.
So that's my sucky day.

| Another huge gap between posts, gotta love it.
Stuff has actually happened this time. As I mentioned at the end of last post a friend of mine got married, and it was the first wedding I've been to since I was like 8 or so. Holly came down to see it since Mandi is like her best friend ever, but didn't bring CJ with her, so I didn't get to meet him, which I sometimes think may be a good thing. I know I'll meet him at some point, but part of me really doesn't want to, which is silly, I know. As a surprise though, she did bring Susan with her, whom I met when her mom came to LU to pick Holly up the last semester she was here. That was a good time, she's fun to hang out with and talk to. Unfortunately, we had no time to play Ultimate Uno, as I like to call it.
Grandma has been thru a lot recently, thru a couple falls, breaking an ankle, and being shipped here there and everywhere in between hospitals and rehab centers. She's given us quite a few scares, but she's managed to come through it all so far... So far the lag has healed and she's working on walking again now.
I've been thinking a lot about being single recently, too... I think I'm about ready for a relationship emotionally and mentally, but I feel terribly unprepared spiritually sometimes. In some ways I think I'm ready, I've set certain standards for myself, I've given a ton of thought to what it means to really love someone in a romantic relationship, and how I think God wants me to approach it, all the stuff that seems like it should be harder... but it's the easy stuff that should come naturally I find myself failing at, stuff like praying regularly and more often, daily Bible reading. I keep taking stock of what I've failed to do and I think to myself, "Steve, do you even WANT this girl? Come on, man get it together, this is the easy stuff, how can you be messing this up?"
I've thought about that last part a lot more recently, and it does provide some motivation. If I am to stand any kind of chance of having the relationship I want (and God wants me to have) with the woman he wants me to have it with, then I'm just going to have to take my maturity up a notch and do what I need to do to be closer to Him.
