religious recruiting

I have to admit, I was shocked today to find out that Heath Ledger had died. I feel it is a loss, plus he was so damn good looking. I now have to find another rich husband to replace him:(

I have been thinking about a conversation with a few friend this past weekend. We have a mutual friend who has all but vanished since getting married and becoming a Jehovah Witness. One friend had Jehovah's staking out his house one day only to drive off and come back another day to knock on the door and leave materials. Another friend got a recruiting letter in the mail. I'm starting to feel left out. All I got was some old Jehovah women knocking at my door..... Am I not good enough for them to try and recruit, I'm sure I could give them some decorating tips or dressing tips, I mean seriously, those door to door recruiters could use some fashion sense. Now I wouldn't mind some Mormons coming to try to recruit me (or me recruit them...have you seen their 2008 calendar.) http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/16696542/mormons_exposed_hot_calendar

Saturday night fun

Since I've been working midnights, I haven't gotten out of the house much to hang out. Saturday made up for it in spades. Left early for the bandits game and hung out with some friends, had some good beer and food. Then the Bandits won which made the night even better. After that and seeing security take a guy in our section down, it was off to Founding Fathers. Now one of my old friends used to go there a lot and enjoyed it, plus I was told they have "great" hamburgers. Well, I can tell you, that I will not be going there again, unless I have no other choice, and I certainly will not be ordering a hamburger. I ordered the black and blue burger, a blackened cajun spiced burger with blue cheese, medium well. I was shocked at how fast the turn around was, well until I bit into it. I never knew that medium well meant raw on the inside. After about 10 minutes I managed to catch the waitress again and she took it back and apologized. Now she never stuck around long enough for anyone else to place a food order. The burger came back out again and I checked it while she was there, it was still raw. She apologized again and took it back and had them cook a whole new one this time. At least this time it was cooked. But the conversation was good and I never laughed so hard in my life at the antics of my friend texting another friends wife, and giving her ideas for when her husband got home. A mighty run later topped off the night.

romantics

I had an interesting converstation with my tech at work the other night. Since one of the overnight technicans has been promoted, the rest of the technicians have been rotating through the shift. It was about 5 in the morning and we were talking. In the year I have been there, it was the first time that we really had a chance to talk and connect. She was already a tech that I enjoy working with and she would do anything for me. I was talking to her about my upcoming cruise and that I am looking forward to sitting alone on the balcony and watch a sunrise and a sunset over the horizon. I can just imagine how beautiful it will be over the horizon. She told me that I sound like a romatic. Considering she was the second person that I told this to, and the second person to callme a romantic it caused me to pause and think. She the continued and told me that she was one to, and to be careful becuase romantic types tend to get hurt. I continued to think about this for the next few days and she is right. I tend to fall easily for nice guys and it has always ended in hurt. Oh well, like I told her, I can't change who I am and I wouldn't want to change who I am. So we'll see, it's harding meeting guys right now working overnights, maybe that will change when I'm back on days. But I can tell you that I will continue to be me and I'm sure I'll fall hard again.
