Ahhh, crazy!

As for Chik-Fil-A, this is the first one I have ever seen anywhere near the west coast, much less California.

As for the girl.... oooooh! That's... potentially great. For real.

I had not heard of Chick Fil A spreading much further west than Texas. But that's awesome. Your life will become even better now.

As for the girl, there was a time that I would just drop clues and make people guess who it is. For instance, I could tell you to go look on page 66 of this here blog, in chapter 7 of book 3 about Gatlinburg, and that would give you the answer. But, I like to think I've grown out of that, so I will just come out and tell you that I like Katy. A lot. So there.

I've only had Chik-Fil-A once, which was in the Mall of Florida in Orlando. I liked. There is a also a Chipotle near Rachel's school. So fantastic.

I already knew it was Katy, my man. I already knew.

[God's Jedi]

I figured you knew. We do have a strange psyhic connection, after all.

[God's Jedi]

I'm not going to say anything very important here. This isn't even a real entry. It's more just me trying to write out what's in my head so I can comprehend it better. So you don't even have to read it if you have something better to do. Now then.

For all intents and purposes, I'm over Blair. It took more will power than I thought I had, but it's done. And now I'm trying to pick up what's left of my heart and go on. What I feel for right now for Katy is in most ways better than what I felt with Blair. You all know how it was...Blair very rarely made me feel like she cared about me, that I was more than just someone who was nice to her and gave her a lot of stuff. Katy has always treated me like I was very important to her. She put up with all the junk I heaved on her during this past year. As Emily put it, she was always there to comfort me or listen to me or whatever I needed her to do. It hasn't been that long since we made up for what I did to her in July, and we're already best friends again. She's one of the few people in this world that makes truly feel loved. And I love her for it.

I'm trying to go about this a better way. I haven't let my feelings for her dominate my thoughts and actions like they did with Blair. I'm still able to think of myself as just her friend when I'm talking to her. I'm also not completely preoccupied with trying to decide if she likes me too. And I also think I'm very well prepared in case she doesn't. I'm happy now, where we are. I would like to be something more, if she wants it. But is that what I need? Is it what she needs? Hmm. I think I'm tired of thinking about it.

[God's Jedi]

I guess I should update again. But few things of note have happened. Hmm.

Sunday was good. Blaine kept me company before the service, then sat with me and Katy and Emily. Bro. Cliff preached, which is always a plus. I went with a plethora of other people to the food court, then to see Red Eye. Good good movie. I then coerced them all to play GlowGolf with me. I beat Andrew and Taylor by three shots, and everyone else by too many to decently say here. I took my leave of them and went to Border's, where I returned 2 comics and got another one and a real book. I was the youngest person (besides Blair) in the night service, after which I joined the others at Cup's to hijack take part in their small group. That lasted about 5 minutes, after which we went to Mcalister's to harass Tyler. We had deep philosophical discussions, then went home. Hooray for home.

And that's the extent of my excitment this week. I got another shipment of comics Monday, with another one coming Saturday. I shall now make a list of all the ones I have bought in the past MONTH, just to prove to you the level of my addiction. If you want to borrow any, just ask.

Kingdom Come
Watchmen
Batman/Superman Vol. 1, 2, & 3

Superman:
For Tomorrow, Vol. 1 & 2
For All Seasons
Godfall

Batman:
Hush, Vol. 1 & 2
War Games, Acts 1 & 2
The Dark Knight Returns
The Dark Knight Strikes Again
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
Haunted Knight
Bruce Wayne: Murderer?
Year One

Crisis on Multiple Earths Vol. 1 & 2, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman: Birthright, and a whole lot of others are on my wishlist at Buy.com, and we'll just have to see which ones I should get first. Yeah. That's my geek moment for the day. And now that Katy has signed off and my poker winnings are dwindling, I go to bed.

Yet another exciting day in the life of teh Jedi.

[God's Jedi]

Last night was a miracle for me. I can't think of any other way to describe it. I had absolutely no idea how much crap I had let build up inside me. All the pain, the bitterness, the anger, the sadness, everything left from this past year. It had gotten to where I barely felt any emotion for anything concerning my life. Then we did all this prayer and communion and worship last night...and God showed me how much I was hurting, and He took it away. And I woke up this morning feeling awesome. And I was actually able to feel happy this afternoon. It was...fun.

Nothing really happened today. I opened, got off at 12, and worked out for the first time in months. I had to go back to work at 3:30, but Katy and Russ stopped by, which made it awesome-er. I found all my iTunes music tonight that I thought I had lost, which was great. So, I guess it's just been a good day. And I'm thankful. And this entry sounds really stupid when I read it back to myself. But that's ok.

So long, and good night.

[God's Jedi]

It's been a week now. A week since I reclaimed my freedom. A week since God slapped me on the head and said "Stop being an idiot and get back over here." And it's been quite a good week. Not one of those "Hey, a lot of good stuff happened to me" kinda weeks; more of the "I feel like 18 tons has just been lifted off my shoulders." w00t.

People are saying very profound things on their Xangas nowadays, so I guess I should do that too. But I can't think of anything. So I'll do it later.

This week has been a good week with my new found friends. Bryson and Andrew and Andy and I ate lunch at BYB on Sunday, before I met Russ at Border's. Small groups rocked, as did tonight. I'm finally starting to feel like I fit in with this group. It's a nice feeling.

And to update the whole situation with Katy if any of you care...we talked on the phone for two hours Saturday night, and I helped her with her class of 3 year olds Sunday morning. She came to the store Monday, and again today. We've actually talked or texted a lot each day this week. I haven't been this happy since the early days with Blair. But, I've redecided that I'm ok where things are, and I don't think I want to to even try to "step it up" yet. So...yeah.

My entries of late have been really lacking in content and quality. For that, I apologize. I must be losing my touch. Err.

So long, and goodnight.

Good work, Andrew. You make life better.

[Ardent1]

's okay Andrew...your journal's more alive than mine.

wow- it's only been a week?

Judging by your new user theme, it appears you've been hanging around me FAR too long. I'm proud to have rubbed off on you so much

[God's Jedi]

I got to blow stuff up today. Not in the C4/TNT/nuclear bomb sense of the word. More like they started heaving little orange clay things at me, and I blew them out of the sky with a 12 gague. Huzzah.

But I have no feeling left in my right shoulder, which is also sporting a rather large red/black/blue mark and a lump the size of a third-world country. I feel like such a redneck.

I spent the later evening at Barnes & Noble with Russ, who informed me he will officially leave Holmes tomorrow. This is a very good move for him, and I'm proud that he made it. [/supportive friend]

I taped the season premiere of Smallville, and watched it as soon as I got home. It was just...wow. It wasn't as awe-inspiring as last year's, but it was still great. And there are so many questions unanswered that I'm really angry I don't have the DVDs to watch 8 episodes in a row. Bah.

I want an iPod. But, I believe a laptop would be more useful. And I've found a really awesome one for about $1,600. So, I think I shall save up on a few more paychecks and buy that instead. Now I have a goal that I am working towards. You should all be proud.

I'm thankful for my life now. I remember when I would sit here and fill these pages with lots of sadness and anger. And I still feel that sometimes. But it's better. I'm better. My eyes have been opened, and I feel real love again. And I wouldn't trade that for a sackful of 1939 first-edition Superman comics. Well...no, no I wouldn't.

Yet another exciting day in the life of teh Jedi.

[God's Jedi]

This is one of those poker days when you just leave the table, shut it off, and wait 'till tomorrow. I've been way in the lead on 4 hands, only to lose all of them on the last card to someone who had no business staying in the hand. One of those, I had a King-high flush and lost to a bloody full house. A minute ago, I actually hit a straight on the FLOP, and ended up spiltting the pot 3 ways. I've lost over $900 so far. Yes, this is one of the days where I should just give up. But will I? Heck no.

This is the coolest thing that has ever happened. I don't care if the kid will get beaten up for the rest of his life. Nicolas Cage is my new hero.

I've apparantly gotten Tyler hooked on Smallville, as I did Russ before him. This is my mission in life now: to spread the cheer and joy that is Smallville to everyone on Earth. Oh yes.

I'm listening to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's first album. This has to be near the absolute top of the best CDs ever list. Anyone who doesn't like them deserves to be shot. Yes.

Yesterday and today were very good days. I hung out with Katy at B&N for a while yesterday afternoon, and Daniel stayed with me until I closed last night. I worked out again today, which always makes me feel really good for some odd reason. Russ and I went to Mcalister's, where we met up with Daniel before heading to B&N. I also found out that due to my boss' inability to order enough stuff, we will be close until 8:30 Thursday. Which means....I GET A DAY OFF!!! It will be my first in over two months. I'm happy now.

And now it looks like I won't be going to Ole Miss this weekend. My mother makes absolutely no sense sometimes. *sigh*

And finally, I have something I wish to say: if any of you, ANY of you, are having problems of ANY kind, I'm here for you to talk to. I'm not just the old crazy guy who's obsessed with Star Wars and comic books. I've actually been known to give good advice in my time. And I've got more secrets from more people locked up inside this head of mine that I don't even remember most of them; so I definitely won't go blabbing anything to people. So there. Now, run along and play, kiddies.

So long, and goodnight.

Ahaha. That's weird in a cool way. Wonder what made him think of that for his kid.

lol. I used to watch it. I was hooked on it Season 1 and 2, but now I've got *cough*better*cough* things to do with my time.

They're great. I watch their Christmas concert every year on PBS. It's a family tradition.

Thanks, bro. I'll come to you first, then.
