HI people, I have been so into writing a story for the NaNoWriMo that it takes up most of my down time and some of my sleep time. I just past the 30,000 word mark. woo go me.
(thank you bon jovi for accompanying me on this journey)

I had been talking to a lady from jdate for a few days. She is the director of a summer camp, she is cute, (according to my friend) she is a huge redsox fan. and it was going well so I figure I would tell her that I am blind. So she was at least nice enough to ask me about it.
Even though it boggles my mind how few people in this world come across people who are blind. She asks me how I read and write or even, use the internet.
So I explain to her about my speach program. I reply to other things in the email and ask her questions about her camp. She wrote me back saying "thank
you for answering my questions. I hope you have a good day." and that was really it. *sigh* I dont get it. I know that as a kid and even now, I do not have many friends because of my blindness. But you would think that mature adults could look past the blindness and see this nice, caring, funny, have
some brain cells, guy. You know what I find amazing. In the last 6 years I have worked with people who have mental illnesses. I have had hundreds of clients sit in front of me. (some even with homacide on their record) (and two weeks ago, having the bran new client on his first day at the house, not having a file on him. for all I know, he could have wanted to kill me)  Of all those people, I only had one client who questioned my ability to be able to help him but yet in the world of the educated, sain population, I find a lot more ignorance. I had one teacher in middle school who refused to have me in her class. She felt that "people like Jonathan" should go to a special school.

Wednesday night my mom had 4 VIP tickets to a 54th anavercery party of a Chinese restaurant called Kowloons and she could not go.
Kowloon was fun. I went with a former coworker who is a little cute redhead. Her name is Megan. I had 4 tickets so since  no one else wanted to go, I asked
Meg to ask her talkative and fun roommate. Origenally Meg said she would pick me up at 7. Later she called me and said that her roomate was just getting off from work so it would be a bit later. I knew the thing lasted till midnight so except for being very hungry, it was no big deal. She got to my house about 8;30. On the way over, the first restaurant on the highway is hooters. Meg says "would you rather go to hooters?" me "um no" "oh, that's right. no touching. I'm sorry." Not sure if she realized that was a tease to me or not. Anywho...   We got in, got seated. Ordered a round of drinks. Meg asked me what I liked because there was a big buffett. I could hear her voice ok, over the  other people and the music. I did not know what they had so she just went up and made me a plate and came back and told me what she had got me. I liked most of what she had got me. Megan, for some reason, loves to hit my shoulder. (Maybe it is a sign of effection? maybe she likes me?) I  wanted a second drink and meg ordered it for me. she goes "I'm your man, I just
ordered your drink." I laughed and said "I didnt know that you  go that way." she plays along "dont you forget it." I'm sure she hit my shoulder again.
We went up for a second round however, they were cleaning up the buffett.  It was only out till 9. I was not happy for a split second at Nicole, the roommate, but I enjoyed her company too, so I shrugged it off. Meg saw there was a  siolent oction she asked  if I wanted her to go up and see what was there. I said sure. knowing there was sports stuff. She came back and  said unless I was ready to spend 200 or more, there was nothing up there. At some point I ordered and drank a third drink. By this time I am feeling woo hoo good. I do not recall the last time I had 3 alcoholic drinks and especially in that short of time. Nicole was complaining about her boyfriend and she told us  about what happened to her on monday. When she got so stressed out, she got sick. She said she never have done that before. Meg tells me that there is noone on the dance floor or she would take meover. (in an email I had wrote that day, I said if it is really loud, I give you permission to grab my hand and just take me on the dance floor)  There was a dif  type of music up stairs so Meg wanted to check it out. So we paid for our drinks and  went up. The place  was packed. The music with the base was pounding. Nicole said "I wont mind staying if we can find somewhere to sit."  she only had one drink. I had three. I am thinking... what? I want to stay. The place is packed and there is no booths opened. So we go down stairs and leave. I was happy they came because I would not have gone  myself but well, I wish I did not invite the roommate. We would of had a lot more fun just Meg and I. I got home about 10;30. ... OH, funny story. So Megan is from NY. So within a minute of us sitting down, she hits my shoulder and says "so the yankees won the world series." I said "really? I did not know that. good for them." "yes, I just had to rub that in."

My fortune read  something along the line of the american saying "if you dont ask, you will never know." I pondered that for a while. 

FRIDAY night I went back to the casino with my mom and a friend of hers. Let's keep this short. I walked in with $100 and left with $155. not bad?

Seattle rocks: so it seems that I am going out to seattle in February to hang out with Nikki and see Bon Jovi with her. yay!
