Wow... I've REALLY gotten into a habit of not posting these, haven't I?

Yeah... well, it's been over a week since my last post on here, so I'll briefly go over all the stuff that's happened since then.

Made gingerbread TARDISes in the Doctor Who club meeting.  Mine has clear Gummi Bears (intended to be Adipose) and a Reese's Dalek in addition to the TARDIS itself.  And the doors open and close!

Went on that date with Ruth last Friday! Yeah, I mentioned this in my last post but forgot to actually post again after it happened... but the important part is, it happened!  She came over to my house after driving people back to the girls' dorms after the Doctor Who club meeting, and the timing worked out really well--by the time she got here, the pasta was almost done cooking, so she was just in time to test the first piece of rigatoni to see if it was ready.  It was, and I already had plates, forks, and cups set out, so we got to eat pretty soon after she first got there; pasta turned out really good (she apparently liked it, as hers disappeared even quicker than mine did! XD) and we talked for a while there before heading off to the play (Little Women, which was showing here at school.)  The play was really good; I actually ended up crying in the second half, which has seriously never happened to me before when watching plays/movies/etc... but yeah, not just watery eyes this time, actual crying.  After that we went to what was left of the Shenanigans show (about half an hour) and then we walked back to her car.  A couple of hugs (including one really long one!) later, and she had to go, driving herself and her roommate back up to the lofts.  Turned out pretty well, I thought.

On Saturday, there was a dance.  Unfortunately, it didn't turn out so great.  There were a few good parts about it (like the fact that I won a $25 Wal-Mart gift card, which never happens), but the first hour or so was lonely and depressing, and the last 10 minutes or so were terrible.  I'd rather not remember much more about it, because it pretty much sucked.  Here's one random picture from the end of it anyway, though:

Sunday was okay.  Monday was... actually, I can't remember much about Monday... except that a couple of my friends were talking about blind dates and such and when I mentioned I had never been on a date where someone else set me up with the girl and I didn't know who she was, they decided to change that. XD

That date ended up being a double-date sort of thing, which happened on Thursday.  Though it started off kind of shaky (I was worried it was going to turn into a "3-person conversation, plus Eddie just sitting off to the side" situation, since the other three all knew each other and I only knew one of the two girls... who was not the one who was my date), it actually turned out to be a lot of fun.  We went down to one of the off-campus student houses and made a gingerbread house out of a kit that they had (which included wall/roof-shaped gingerbread pieces, icing to stick them together, and random candy for decorations.)  Though I was having trouble at first, I eventually did end up talking to and getting to know my date a little... though I didn't catch how to spell her name, unfortunately (there's at least half a dozen ways to spell a name that's pronounced "Kaylee" but I forgot to ask which one it was. XD)  She seemed pretty nice, and apparently she had seen me around before and actually knew what my name was already.  But anyway, once we built the gingerbread house we stabbed it with a knife and ate chunks of it. XD  Here's a picture or two from this:

There was also the last social dance club meeting of the semester on Tuesday, which also turned out really well.  Surprisingly well, actually... for the first time in ever I actually didn't have trouble asking girls to dance, and ended up asking a whole bunch of people (and being asked a couple of times, too) before the night was over.  Ended up dancing a lot and kind of wearing myself out... and learning a few things, even (learned how to do the basic steps of a couple different versions of swing dancing, and that I can use all of the country swing moves in those also.)  Oh, and there was free pizza! And cookies! So yeah... overall a really good time, and a great "last impression" to have of the dance club for the year.

I've also had  two of my exams today (Spanish and 2D Design) and have started drawing a series of pictures that will be given to people who are leaving and not coming back next semester.  Oh, and working on another new OHRRPGCE game... this one using the newly added turn-based battle system, and the weird little blobs that I came up with a while back.  Not sure when I'll get enough done of that to come out with a demo, but it shouldn't take as long as most of my other games at least.
