Dear Diary,

It seems like there's a lot on my mind today. Yet putting 'pen to paper,' so to speak, I can't quite put into words whatever I've been thinking. It has something to do with elation over seeing things work out for good friends. Something to do with excitement over the festivities so far, and those yet to come. Something to do with feeling 'at home' having time to spend on profitless ventures and movie experiences. And a little something to do with science & music.

I have a friend who seems to be getting some particular not-so-unwanted attention from a fella, lately. And she, being excited about this, seeks to find a similar situation for me. Truth be told, I don't have a single realistic crush at the moment. (My crushes currently fall on George Clooney, Russell Crowe, Harrison Ford, ...all the 'Leading Men'). So, she's eager to find an interest for me. So she has given me a new definition for what I'm looking for. I can share that with you another time.

As for festivities, did I tell you I got a bike for Christmas? I don't know if I've ever gotten a bike for Christmas. One year I got a scooter...much larger than the newer "Razor" variety. That was a fun Christmas. But this year, I have been talking about getting one because of the new house. And when presented with several Gift Cards over the past week, I put them together and bought a bike. It's sitting under my tree...Well, next to my tree. And all that jewelry from my party a couple weeks ago finally came in. And in just a few days, Christmas (proper) will be here!

I spent some time last night catching up on things I don't have time to do during the normal semester. I was up until 6 in the morning. You can't do that when you're required to be up again at 6:30. It was nice. Even went to the movies tonight. It's been a good week for movies.

And as it turns out, I finally finished that book on dating. I do intend to start putting some of those things into practice (such as finding 5 a week for the log), but I got that satisfied, yet on-to-the-next feeling when I finished. I always feel like once I finish reading a book, it's time to find another. So the one I landed on wasn't exactly "pleasure" reading like one would think because it's on the science of music. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm enjoying it! I started it a long time ago, but never finished because it's harder work than just reading a novel or self-help book. It makes you stop and analyze what's going on. And in the midst of my reading tonight, I couldn't help but take the combination of science and music and apply it to dating...Stay tuned tomorrow for my incredible insights. I think you'll find them fascinating...or boring...or not all that insightful...or possibly genius...or not...

But make that decision tomorrow...
