Class reunion and such

Yep, I had a 10 year class reunion last weekend. As these things always are, it's never what you expect. For instance, in an email a few years back, I called one of my former classmates a "knuggle-dragging, heavy-breathing redneck." That classmate happened to see that email and I heard that he wanted to kick my ass because of it. Now, I didn't expect him to actually kick my ass, but I did expect him to say something about it, or at lease be a bit angry towards me. In actually, I talked to him more than anyone at the reunion, and he took no offense at my name-calling. I always thought he didn't care for me in high school, and it turns out that it was actually the exact opposite. He didn't think anyone liked him. I probably would have talked to him more in high school had I known. He's not a bad guy....for a dumb-ass redneck.

The rest of my little vacation was mediocre at best. My cell phone, although still usable, got sat on and smashed up real good. I went boating and "tubing" behind the boat, consequently I was so god damn sore that I could barely use my arms the last 2 days. Also, on the way back to Denver, I managed to see the only Colorado State police officer that I've EVER seen in my 5+ years of driving I-76. He saw me about 10 seconds before I saw him. His radar gun saw me too. I was going fast enough that he didn't even bother asking for my reasons or pretending to care. It was actually the quickest ticket I've ever received.

The wedding is coming up in less than 30 days. Plans are coming together quite nicely. Last week, we talked to the pastor who will be marrying us. I wasn't looking forward to that at all, especially since he is Catholic. The last thing I wanted to do was sit there and lie about my faith so that he'd agree to marry us. It turns out that he's a Reformed Catholic, which basically means he's like an Episcopal pastor. He never asked about my faith or beleifs. He's not making us do the wedding counseling thing because he thinks it's a waste of time. He charges less than the other people on the list, and he's done the ren-fair wedding lots of times.

I have a job interview on June 26th for a professional library job. I make about $15 an hour where I'm at now. This other job would be at least $21 an hour. I have to start paying back student loans soon, so that would be a welcome increase in pay. Plus, I'm anxious to actually get into my field in a professional manner, not this glorified secretary's job I have now.

I'm going to go see The Incredible Hulk tonight. Hopefully it doesn't blow.

Later.
