I swear there was something important that I wanted to post in here, but I forgot what it was.

Oh well. Dinner with Torrie and Corin was a blast. It's always great to talk to those two. They've got a great perspective on things. We also had some great talks about movies, TV and more movies. We stayed at the restaurant til closing. I seem to do that a lot when I meet friends when I'm traveling. Maybe it's because I'm a talker. Or maybe we're just trying to stretch the time that we're together. Chances are I won't see these two again til Marquette in October (if I go). Unless I meet up with them tomorrow. But I may use tomorrow as time to rest and go over some wedding stuff. I brought it all with me.

A little shout out to my Butta. I know that today probably wasn't the best day for her, but she got to give a kiss to her idol, and no one can take that away. Sometimes it upsets me that people can say things without thinking how it affects other people, and no matter how righteous they might think they are, or how much they think they are watching out for someone else's self interests, they fail to see the people they might be hurting along the way. I can't apolo-gize for these people Butta, but I can say that you shouldn't let it taint the experience you had. It was a special moment, you took a chance, and I don't think he was offended at all. You are a sweetheart, you're passionate, and you always make me laugh, I hated seeing you in such a foul mood. So just ignore all the mom-types out there and just revel in the thought that YOU KISSED HIM!

And Fata, if you're out there reading this - you were too shocked to bitch him out? Where'd my Fata go? She would have bitched him out in a heartbeat! Love you, sisterfriend.

Claudine, my belly hungers for your cookies. I'll be waiting! (But make them after the cruise, OK?)
