I won

(If you don't remember, click here)

But basically, out of all the seniors in Creative Writing at the University of Arizona, this judge thought I showed the most promise as a poet (along with two other recipients). Very exciting. More exciting is the $400 cash prize I'm getting. Probably going to go to a new bass speaker cab, since I kind of blew most of the speakers on the one I have now lol.

Also, went on a date with this one girl (actually three, technically) and it was nice, she's cute and all, but sadly we don't really have much to talk about (even though she keeps chatting with me on facebook and such) and she's really really hard to read. After the second date she gave me one those kisses that was too fast for me to comprehend what happened until it was over, and then earlier today we hung out and actually kissed for a bit. But it was weird, after a little group of them she kept noticeably pulling away...then 10 seconds later it was ok to kiss her again. I tried asking her about it/what was up and she just switched off topic or didn't say anything. It's like I could see her mind going a million miles an hour, but she won't say a word. I am so confused by her, I'm not really going to keep going with it. Even on the first date I had this "she's cool, but I don't really get that 'i want to be with this girl' vibe," so ya. But I mean, it was the closest I've come to something since Brittney. I guess I'm making the right progression.

New Mike Doughty CD "Sad Man Happy Man" is excellent. Go buy it I'm skeptical of the new Muse CD--anyone checked that one out yet? Same with the Flaming Lips' Embryonic.
