I Don't Wanna!

SO, I have a portfolio that I need to put together/write to finish up my masters degree. I got a third of it done when I had my student teacher in my classroom a few months ago. I haven't even looked at the thing since then. I told myself that I would work on it during Spring Break which is why I haven't pulled it out since then. Well, Spring Break was this week and I have today left to work on it "during" Spring Break and I really don't want to do it. I have used many excuses and diversions to keep me from working on the thing this week and now I have run out of excuses rather than just I don't want to. Now I'm going to have to use one or two of my Saturdays or a couple of days after school. I really don't want to work on it. It won't take too long, I just have to sit down and do it.

Coconut Cream Pie

I just got home from a date. A blind date. The girl who cuts my hair decided to set me up with a guy whose hair she also cuts. He is a nice guy. We went to the Museum of Art on campus and wandered around looking at paintings and artwork, I don't think he was really all that interested in the actual art though which is okay. I could have gone off about the different pieces if he wanted me to, but no questions were asked. Afterwards, we went for dessert, I ordered a slice of coconut cream pie, one that I don't normally order but I figured I should try something new. We had the normal first date type conversations.

I've been set up on a few blind dates by friends, co-workers, and acquaintances in the last few years. I appreciate their thoughts but I usually question their thought process as to why they want to set me up with a particular person. I have found a similar characteristic with just about all of the guys that I have been set up with and every time that I find that this is the reason for the set up, I am not usually very happy or ecstatic about the date. People, personality is not based on height. Just because I am short does not mean that I should be set up with someone because they are short as well. If you want to have me go out with a friend of yours, please make sure you are wanting to set us up because our personalities would go well with each other and not just because of our height.

Now, I do appreciate the thoughts and going out every once in awhile is nice to meet new people and to just get out so thank you.

I've also figured out a little bit more about myself and dating. I like to listen, I feel comfortable in silence, I also like to talk about just about anything, but I feel weird if I'm the only one talking. I feel weird typing all of this out, but it's something I've been thinking about lately so why not? I'm very easy going so I go along with just about anything. If I'm not saying anything, I think it worries people, I've been trying lately to not be so quiet, I'm doing well, but then I deal with the opposite problem in I feel like I'm talking too much.

Ok, that's enough random info about me.

Noses

I was looking through some pictures today and realized that noses just look kind of weird. Not thinking of anyone's nose in particular but noses in general are just somewhat odd looking. Of course, we would all look pretty funny without them but if we never had them in the first place, we really wouldn't know that they were missing now would we?

Fourth Photo

The rules of this "tag" are to post the fourth picture in the fourth photo folder (say that 10x fast) on your computer. Then tag four friends.

(I have so many files inside my files, I had to keep counting to four until I wound up with this one)
