life is pretty good.

I now have three comforts of Australia right here in MN. Not only can I buy Cooper's and Tim Tams for a decent price (finds from this summer) but I recently heard The Cat Empire on my favorite radio station! How exciting. Not that I think Cat Empire is the epitomy of Aussie music (I'd probably freak out and drop dead if I heard the Holy Grail on the radio!)--but it's another comfort. I got so excited that I rang Will up and gushed about Australia and Adelaide with him for awhile. It's always nice to bring back good memories.

Something new in life, to me, is this thing most people call dating. I've probably talked about this before, but... Well I've had boyfriends in the past and relationships, but have never really done that thing that people call 'dating'. It has caught me a little off-guard beginning this summer with a friend asking me on a date, which I turned down because, well I guess I don't believe in going on dates with friends, who I believe are just friends. But that was the first time I think I had ever been seriously asked on a date! It was weird. I was also a little inibriated (spelling?) when I was asked. The second one happened early November. This was the first random one. A guy I met while down in Winona for frisbee. He seemed nice and he found me via Facebook (I guess the times are changing) so I finally gave him a call. We went out once and then I ran into him not long after at a restaurant but haven't seen him since. I haven't really felt the drive to ask him out myself. ANd although he was a nice fella and I kind of hope that the two of us get together again and at least become friends he wasn't so good with the planning part of a date. Now...the third, a co-worker asked me. Although he's got another ...um week? left of law school finals I said yes. So now I'm wondering in crazy excitement what this date will turn out to be like and if he will actually follow through. Then yesterday, and this was the weirdest, another guy from work who works in the restuarant and whom I barely ever see asked me on a date. It was really random and kind of freaked me out. I didn't make up any lies to turn him down, but it was weird trying to find a way to say no without hurting his feelings. I am so NOT experienced in this field that I can't say I really know what to do when this shit happens. So this has been the excitement in my life lately. The excitement and the weirdness. ..

As I sit in the coffee shop not far from my house I'm kind of wishing that there were more interesting people here to observe. I need a new book to read. These people are boring this afternoon. I just finished reading SHannon's post about the people in the coffee shop and the people here are not nearly as interesting. I have a list of things to do today and well I've only done about three of them done. I am still being lazy and not making a hair appointment, or getting that package sent out which has been sitting in my room for ever! I also have absolutely NO drive to go shopping for christmas gifts. I think I'll leave most of it to next week. I can't stand shopping.
my battery is getting low....
