Termination
I did a lot of new things this summer. I lived on my own for the first time ever. It was probably for the best that my food came with my job, because otherwise I would have starved or gone into debt (more). I mean, I can make sandwiches and some microwaveable things – the ones that you open the package, put on a plate, and microwave. Boxed macaroni and cheese escapes me.
My family feels like I’ve forgotten them because I only went home once the whole summer. Every time my grandma talks to me, she asks when I’ll come home next. She just can’t wrap her mind around the idea that I’d stay away until Thanksgiving. Then again, she doesn’t want to pay the $120 in gas or 6 hours of travel it takes round trip.
I went to visit a friend’s new apartment, and while I was there, a bunch of mutual friends showed up. So what else is a guy to do when he’s offered the choice between going back to an apartment that’s all packed up or hang out with 5 girls? Of course, I stayed. We watched the Olympics, and the men’s swimming relay was on. I must say, I will never feel embarrassed to take a second glance or 3 at an especially attractive girl. The way these girls went on about Michael Phelps almost made me uncomfortable, and I don’t exactly have that much of a bubble. Also, the next time any girl tries to call me a pervert for talking about an attractive girl, I’m not going to stand for it.
And just to make everyone wonder if it really is me writing this: There’s a girl I’m attracted to and want to date. Now really, I never would have expected to find myself writing words like that.

I find most of us are rather good at getting a guys atention, when we want to.
I think we may have just received confirmation of hell freezing over.
Glad you had a good summer.
@trunthepaige - Oh, indeed, almost all ladies can be very good at getting my attention briefly. But I’m highly distrustful of romance in general, let alone when it is applied to my personal life. That’s why I’ve only had one relationship, and it was mostly just a lust-driven spring fling.
Oh, Scott, you are a human afterall.
We thought you might just be an alien who’s mission was to figure out how “sound” works. Come on, the John Deere thing was a dead giveaway.
Scott: What do humans do?
Alien Overlord: They have hobbies such as table tennis or tractors.
@thefreakingawesome - Your primary genetic imperatives seems to be to be to mate and reproduce. What’s the deal with making out, anyways? Humans are so obsessed with it.
