I think I broke my record

My "getting kinda distracted and talking to a girl for a really long time" record, anyway.  Bumped into someone I knew at supper and ended up talking for... probably close to 3 hours (6:00-ish to around 9:00!)  Previous record was probably somewhere in the range of an hour and 30 minutes to two hours, so... yeah, that's a lot of talking, heh.  And once again I managed to talk to someone about religion without it ever degrading into an argument; ended up not only talking about my own beliefs, but learning a bit more about exactly what Mormons believe in the process. I'm always surprised when this (religious discussions without any rage) happens, but it seems like it's what happens pretty much every time that subject comes up anymore.  I'm sure there are the "angry screaming YER GOIN' TO HELL" type Mormons, but everyone here at least seems really nice.  Especially the girls, heh...
Surprisingly I wasn't bored or lonely at all today, even though there wasn't really anything to do since it's Sunday and there was no fireside tonight.  Just ended up talking to so many people at dinner (and afterward) that I didn't really have time to get bored.  Also didn't have much time to do my Spanish homework or start on my painting, but... that's okay, I've still got some time. XD

Knees seem to be healing up (again) and walking isn't extremely uncomfortable anymore, not even up stairs... at least not when I'm distracted by girls anyway.  I actually saw what the Lofts look like on the inside today--the student lounge area is huge and has about a gazillion couches, a ping-pong table, and drink/snack machines on top of what the guys' dorms have (just a couple couches, a table, and a TV pretty much.)

I've decided I'm definitely going to sign up for that date auction thing... just as soon as I can figure out how to get the signup papers, anyway.  I now have three people (a girl and two guys!) who've said they'd try to get a form for me, so hopefully I'll end up seeing one before this Wednesday when the thing actually happens.  Hopefully the whole thing goes well and I won't be able to say I've never been on a date on my life anymore... and whoever I end up with (if anyone; still slightly worried there) isn't creepy.
