Now I feel welcomed! There are people out there who read these things.

I'm a waiter at TGIFriday's in Salt Lake City. It's pretty good money, for a college student, and pretty good times. Even tonight was okay. I got stuck in the worst section of the restaurant, and got drilled with parties all night. I thought I wasn't going to make any money at all. All the other servers felt sorry for me. What made it worse was this: There is this girl in one of my classes who I had a mad-crazy crush on. She got home from a mission about two months ago, and she just glows. Anyway, a few weeks ago I actually had a chance to talk to her, but she quickly brought up the fact that she's sating someone. I took it in stride. So tonight I'm waiting on a party, it's like parents and their college-age kids, but they are waiting for two more people to arrive. Yep... It was the very same chick and the dude she's dating. What made it worse is that he was totally a cool cat. I couldn't even pretend to not like him.

It seems I am prone to have crushes from afar. I've dated a few girls, and I'm not socially inept, it's just I see a girl from a far and wonder.... is it her? Example, a random girl I had a class with last semester. She probably doesn't even know my name, but I run into her, and just feel like there's something special about her. But every context I run into her in presents an excuse why I shouldn't talk to her: Ie, I'm with my ex-girl friend, ect. I suppose when I see her again I'll introduce myself and see how it goes from there.

Ah! Spring Break is here at last!

Next time: How I came to be called "Skardo".
