Scott Time

Yellow… Scott here… I am at the library and it’s kind of nice because I just finished my test and I have some free time today and tomorrow. I am going to go play tennis with Dobbs here soon, and then I am going to run later… So I’m looking forward to that (no really I am). Things are good. Living with Andy has turned out to be much more of an enjoyable thing than I expected going into this arrangement. Its nice because the last 4 years of living with those other guys I’ve forgotten what its like to live with someone who doesn't pour cold water on you in the shower, call you stupid, gay, and/or ugly, run in your bedroom with no pants on and try to jump on your bed… while you are in it, hide your stuff and play a “hot or cold” game with you to try to get you to find it, leave “I’m gay” away messages up on your computer when you are gone, and other sorts of things which I KNOW were funny in their own way at the time, but I never really seemed to get into it as much as the other guys. So we just treat each other like friends and to me that seems to work out a heck of a lot better than treating each other like siblings who like to fight a lot which might be one way of looking at the last four years. So, yeah… we just kind of treat each other how we want to be treated and it makes everything really easy and much less tense I would say.

I am really excited about this Friday! I just can’t wait… The SAD thing is, I am actually much less excited about this event than I have been in the past because I have already been to 5 shows to see Mandy and I’ve gotten to see just about every corps perform 2 or 3 times so the MTSU show for me won’t be my one big chance to see everybody, but it will just be nice to get to see all top 8 corps in one show. You may not realize that on any given summer day the top 8 are usually split into ATLEAST 3 and sometimes 4 shows so you never really get to sit down and see them all unless you go to finals, which costs around 125 just for one night (I’m sure that probably blew your mind, and its ok, I understand) - it’s a big deal to get to go to that.

I miss Mandy a lot and its going to be great to see her for a few days. I was really worried at the beginning of the summer because of all the stories about her new close guy friends and seat partner; I just let it worry me silly… but when I came to see her I knew everything was going to be fine and that I had worried about nothing. When I realized that it was all in my head and that Mandy is more than mature enough to handle herself around those pressures everything was fine. We have grown a lot which is not what I expected when she left, but we really have. OK Andy just called and its tennis time- Later
