| In Phoenix, good times, bad times Earlier today it sucked... read on and find why I came to be in that place.
Friday
On Friday night I got into Phoenix and we drove east to Tucson and stayed at a super 8 motel.
Saturday
On Saturday Morning got up and I had two choices, go to the air and space museum, or the desert animal area. I had a good time, there was one snake called a Hognose snake that have two ribs that form this hood to make it look like a cobra. It then strikes (with no venom), if that defense doesn't work it turns over and plays dead right before doing that spitting blood and pretending to be dead (even if picked up!). Also while I was there, there was a cute girl who appeared to like me too! (She worked there and she smiled at me a lot). Of course she could have been laughing at how white my skin is!
Later we went to Karchtner Caverans, which was really amazing seeing all of the underground stuff. The caveran was protected by a series of airlocks... very neat!
Later that night we got back to the house and went to bed. It was a REALLY good day, and I had a very good time! I met a bunch of people too, Steve, Jeff and a few other people.
Sunday
Went to Church on Sunday Morning; after that went to Sizzlers for all you can eat. Got to know several people better; the highlight was this really nice girl named Neletha Bauer, she was 19, 114 pounds(felt this was important to mention as it comes into play later...), blond, thin, w/ lots of energy, and was very friendly. After sizzler she asked me if I wanted to go w/ her to Borders; (she had this cool manual sports car). I found a little bit more about her and I had a good time with her and she was a lot of fun. (she also liked to run too, and had spring break off too!). Although she was still going to be working, being that I didn't know anybody I thought it was neat that I met someone who was off that week.
Then we went to afternoon church and she sat next to me. After I had plans w/ my parents and we went over to my Uncle Norman and Mary's house and brought Talon and Nolan w/ us. We picked up some pizza on the way and talked a lot about dota. Also I made plans with Nolan to spend the afternoon with him the next day. I worked on his computer for a while as he had some hardware problems, (I think he needs a new video card)
Monday
Went running (I LOVE running in the desert in the morning it's just great!). I knew Neletha ran and I would have liked to do some stuff without just me. So I asked around and I got Neletha's phone number. I then called her (she was working that day from 7am - 7pm as a nurse) but I knew she was free at least 3 days this week. So I left a message giving her my phone number and wanted to see if she wanted to go running and maybe other things if she didn't already have plans. I then left to go on a walk/hike w/ my parents. I gave my cell phone to my Mom. Unfortunately I didn't lock the phone... my phone made about 14 phone calls by itself totalling 24 minutes of phone time calling by itself :(.
Overall... not a very good start eh?
Anyway this and that goes on, I picked up Nolan from school and we did secret "guy things" until late that night.. it was a lot of fun!
Tuesday
Nope, still no phone call from Neletha, but now I _KNEW_ she had to have gotten my message, kind of sucked. Went running again... it's great down here!
Did a bunch of other stuff saw Jeff and Steve, went shopping, hung out with my cousins Quentin and Raleign. The sun is GREAT! (Had dinner w/ them at Denny's).
(The trampoline KILLED my back!)
Wednesday
I got some new shirts, and AWESOME black dress shirt w/ this totally cool red tie, also I got a replacement blue shirt, and a purple shirt w/ a nice tie to match! I did various stuff as well that day.
No call froM Neletha, also I found out that Neletha doesn't making to Bible study or on Sunday (hardly ever), and certainly not on wednesday ever as her work schedule doesn't work out.
Well Neletha works about an hour away so there was no possibilities of her making it to Bible study.
After Bible Study I had plans to go out with Jeff and Steve w/ my Parentals units and Neletha's parents for a late dinner at this Mexican place.
Neletha made it to Bible Study, got in 15 minutes before it ended. Evidently she drove 100+ miles an hour all the way from Tempe to make it there, and she skipped out of work early. Guess what: I was pretty pleased, and I (foolishly) had it in my head that maybe it was because of me, and maybe she worked really hard early this week.
She ignored me, and she focused all of her intention on Steve (who she is friends with but... she totally attached herself). Evidently I found out this was totally bizarre behavior because the way she was acting she NEVER acted like this at all ever. She then asked if Steve wanted to go with her to the restraunt, so I went to my parents car to get a ride and Neletha's parents said I should go with Neletha.
Yep she ignored me; no mention at all of me calling her or being available to do anything at all. She drove and wanted to get a movie to watch at block buster, anyway I asked if she had seen Mel Gibson's Payback and she hadn't, so she picked it up right away after I told her it was a good movie. Then we made it to the restraunt.
This is where I really messed up; she wanted me to guess her weight, so I guessed 105, and I was wrong. Then I decided to do 100, then 90. So I said 100 and then while I was saying 100 I decided to say 90 instead.
It came out 190.
Then Steve said, oh you really messed up there!
Subject was changed... I didn't know what to do as that was certainly not what I meant.
She then said that she had tommorrow off and didn't have to work, and she then asked Steve if he wanted to come over and go running w/ her in the morning and do stuff. Obviously Steve couldn't as he worked AND he didn't run AND she knew that; and he said as much.
Then she asked Jeff if he wanted to go running, which of course he couldn't because he has a injury where he can't run, and he works in the morning, and would never make the drive.
No she didn't look at me at all, completely ignoring that I asked her earlier that week if she wanted to go running.
(I usually run 6 miles in about an hour, although in Arizona I've been doing about 4 miles a day.. not a lot but I COULD have done more... I'm just taking it easy).
After that until we went and even after we went she completely hung all over Steve. And I guess she usually fights with him etc... her behavior was completely abnormal.
She did this all on purpose to hurt me I think.
I felt TERRIBLE.
I thought she was a nice person that it would be fun to do things with as I know NOBODY DOWN HERE. And the few friends I have made all work during the day and have jobs; and I would like to do something else besides stuff w/ my parents all of the time.
At least Jeff and Steve and my relatives like to do things with me... I just don't get it?
I deleted her from my cell phone.
Thursday:
Went about 4 miles running... I didn't get the Zen from running as I was still hurt from yesterday.
Later that day I went and I am now restructing all of my finances. Yep, I am going on an acquisition phaze. While living in Alaska my investments have been consolidating... in about 6 months I am going to be doing a real estate expansion (maybe less time)... it is SOO exciting! I'm going to be leveraging myself pretty big.
I'm heading back to Alaska this Saturday so I am going to enjoy the sun a lot more... the weather has been FANTASTIC and I plan on enjoying it for the next couple of days that I have!
