Dear Diary,
First, I'm not going to Germany. There wasn't enough student interest so the school canceled the trip. I got my deposit back so at least I didn't lose any money. Just a trip of a life time. Plus, I feel a little stupid for buying a "learn German" app, but that'll pay off in the long run. Not only will I learn some German, but I can review it for my newest blog.
Yes, I've started a new blog. That's App! It's an app reviewing blog. So far, I've done one post. But I plan on doing more. I've already got 10 apps on my phone, so I'll have to branch out and get more soon. Haha
I went to laser tag this evening. I haven't done that since middle school so it was kinda cool to go back to it. It was at the school so I was interacting with my fellow students. Always a plus. I didn't take any photos or videos like I intended because it was too dark and I got lazy. Oh well.
My friend KJ gave me her Sunday pass for the Salem Film Festival, so in 8 hours I hope to be watching a film about patterns. The trailer made it look cool and I love math, especially patterns so I think I'll like it. I'll post more of that when it happens. Plus I'll be tweeting like crazy.
Also, we workshopped a haiku in class on Friday, and it kinda inspired me to write a haiku, but in Fibonacci syllables. I'll post it here if I do.
Love Always,
Joe

the week of Feb 20
Dear Diary,
I feel like a bunch of stuff has happened this week, but when I try to think about it, not a lot comes to mind.
I got approved to travel to Germany and Northern Italy with my school. I had to take out two more loans, $2,000 each. This makes my student loan total (about) $10,000. I feel like this is a lot (it is!) but I know some students who already have a debt of $15,000 and are still getting new loans next semester. College is expensive, and that irks me.
I finally was able to go back to my Bible Study Group. It was a little weird, but also kind of nice. They're not judgmental like I thought they were going to be. Plus, it's cool to read the Bible as a story. Even if we're just looking at parts.
My cat escaped yesterday! It was more worrying than scary, but it was still a surprise and not the good kind. I don't know what happened, but my apartment door must not have closed all the way or something because I found Cinnamon on the third floor of my building. He was a little freaked out and needed some calming, but he got to see a little bit of the outside world.
I need to redesign this blog and Only Sometimes . But I'm dreading do the work. lol I'm so lazy.
BL is gone now. It's a little sad, but super exciting at the same time. I can't wait for her and AW to come home. The three of us all traveling aboard and returning in the same summer! How's that for fate.
Love Always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
I'm worried. This week I saw a new side to one of my friends, and it wasn't pretty. It all started last week, at her birthday party. All of us are over 21 and we were at a restaurant drinking, when a friend of hers who is under 21 showed up. The staff wouldn't let her come into the bar (for obvious reasons) and asked if we wanted to move from the bar section to the dining section.
My friend, let's call her Claire (hehe private joke), said no. That it was pointless to move the whole party for one person. I was surprised at this. To me, it was a no brainer - Of course we'd move the party. We didn't, and the under 21er went home, presumably pissed.
After I got drunk and went home, a mutual friend of Claire and I's flirted with Clarie's crush. Everyone knows that Claire has a crush of this person, so it was a dick move to flirt with him. I was told that later on in night, the friend and the crush went home together. Understandably, Claire is upset and has forsaken the friendship. What bothers me is that Claire and this girl still talk and hang out. Claire is even friendly and nice to her. But the second she leaves a room, Claire bitches about her.
I'm not sure how I feel about seeing these sides to Claire. Of course, here I am doing the same thing on the Internet.
On a more happy note:
I saw Kelly Clarkson live Thursday. It was amazing. She was funny and sweet, and of course, super talented. It's funny, but the day before we bought the tickets I kept hearing Clarkson wherever I went. In stores or driving around, every radio was playing one of her songs. I sorta thought something magically would happen if I saw her show. Nothing did, but I guess I like thinking the universe is looking out for me.
And then yesterday on my radio show, we played MLP:FiM songs. It was awesome :)
Love Always,

Jan 22, - Jan 24, 2012
Dear Diary,
I did something amazing today. Well, two amazing things these past days.
First, I went ice skating, and I didn't fall! This is only the second time I've ever been on the ice, the first time a little under a year ago. I'm still not great, but I only had to use the railings a couple of times. I enjoyed being on the ice, and I think I'm going to try to skate at least one more time before the semester ends.
The second is I texted a boy. My friend MT gave me her boss' number and I texted him around noon. We had a little conversation, but it was awkward as fuck. I mean, I can barely talk to people face-to-face, texting is like a bajillion times more difficult. We weren't really flirting, just talking. Although, I did use the slutty winky face, so it's his fault. I'm going to text him tomorrow, so let's see if it gets better.
Until then,
Love Always,
Joe

Top 10 Healthiest Slash couples
A while back, I searched the internet for fan-fiction. I know, I know. But FanFic has a bad reputation. Sure, a large proportion of it is riddle with so many spelling and grammar mistake it would make an English teacher cry, but there are a lot of well-written stories available.
Even better, most fanfics are of slash nature. For those not dorky enough, slash is when a writer has two characters, usually of the same sex, in a relationship that does not occur in canon. It’s written by using the backslash (hence the name) like House/Wilson.
After trolling the mighty internet, I’ve come up with the Top 10 Healthiest Slash couples.
(Also, I don’t own any of the photos, I Googled. If the owner wishes, I will gladly take them down.)

Oct 28-31 or Halloween Weekend!
Dear Diary,
Halloween has always been my favorite memory. I think my earliest childhood memoryis going trick-or-treating with my mother (let's just assume my brother and sister were there too). I know most memories pre-sixth grade are Halloween related. Halloween is one of the reason I choose SSU. That's how important the holiday is to me.
This Halloween weekend was fun, but it left me wanting more. First, I went on a Haunted Cruise. Since I love the ocean, so it was a double whammy of excitement and exceptions. The cruise was a little disappointing. It was less scary stuff and more like "scary" historical stories about the area's ports. The speaker told stories about famous pirates and haunted life houses.
The main problem was that the speaker was so boring. She had great, interesting stories to tell, but it felt like she was repeating memorized lines. She wasn't telling a story. Does that make sense?
Still, being on the water was amazing. Standing on the bow facing the wind was breath-taking. It was cold as fuck, but I loved it. I know it's impossible, but I wish I could afford a boat or at least rent one. (Operation marry rich)
Afterwards, I went back to G-Vagas for the local bar's costume party. It was fun hanging out with my friend CO, but no one wanted to dance or do anything. We were stuck in a corner and that's always boring. Still there were some great costumes and cute guys. Always a plus.
Saturday was suppose to be my cousin's Harry Potter party, but because of the freak snow storm (Thanks Global Warming!), it was canceled. I still went to visit her because it's been forever since we hang out. We watched this crazy anime "Elfin Lied" show that she likes. Well, until we lost power. But we had fun searching for candles and "praying" for power. It's not always what you do, but who you do it with.
But for Halloween day, I stayed in my apartment with my cats. In the biggest Halloween city in the state and I stay at home. It's because I never join in the fun, but I've already talked about that.
One of these days, I'll get better. That or die alone.
Love Always,
Joe

Dear Diary,
Today was one of those crazy busy, but fun in it's own way kind of days. I woke up at 8:15 and went to the school to drop off the raffle stuff for Ad Club. I'm a little worried we won't raise much money. Some of the other members seem so apathetic to the club. But that's another post for another day.
My class was canceled, so I came back home to do work. I was a little sleepy so I told myself that I could take an hour nap. Of course, it turned out to be more like 5 hour sleep. But it was really nice and totally worth missing a very important meeting. When I went to sleep, my kitties were running around doing kitty things. But when I woke up, they had cuddled around me. Even the antisocial one! It was very "awww" worthy.
Got up and I ran to the school for a SGA meeting. I realized that I've been a lazy reporter and I want to change that. I was hoping to get at least one story out of the meeting. I got 3! There is so much stuff happening around SSU that is just begging to be told. I'm hoping to team up with a fellow reporter to tackle the bigger issues.
The juicy gossip: there are some hot SGA members! Nothing like a little eye candy to motivate you.
After the SGA meeting, I went into town to reserve a camera for my video production class. We film tomorrow, and since this is my first time being Director I'm both nervous and excited. I'm afraid my idea for a movie is lame, and the only reason I like it is because I wrote it. It's happened before. But I'm excited to see my concept become a reality. I'm definitely going to try and put the final product on Youtube.
Came home, did homework and wrote till 5:45 in the morning. And for some unexplainable reason, life feels good.
Love Always,
Joe
