I haven't been posting much lately. This is because I've instead been out living my life. I don't have the energy left for an extended post, so here's the rundown.

There have been several lan parties, each resulting in thousands of slaughtered zombies and/or aliens.

Numerous trips to IHOP, the last of which resulted in a thirty minute inability to stop giggling. Could. Not. Stop. Apparently I actually go "tee hee hee" when I giggle that long at 3 AM. Who knew. (Okay, Drew did. He hears it all the time.)

A midnight walk down Center street in Provo. My random idea, actually.

An all-night Portal game. Man, that game is cool.

Several rpg games, one of which involved an all-night zombie apocalypse. My players all played themselves. The game started at Dragon's Keep, and then spread up through Orem. (The characters did, anyway. The players all stayed at the Keep.) And I attacked them with various zombies. We only had one casualty, and that was at the end. (I had to hand over the zombie stats I'd prepared at least once, after all.) We played for ten hours--8 PM to 6 AM. I was really, really nervous about running this, but I think everyone was happy with the result. There's talk of doing it again, which I think we probably will. Just not overnight. Unless it's next fourth of July.

We've been visiting with family--Drew's parents were in town, so we drove up to Salt Lake four times last week. Got to see the extended family, too.

Friends who've been in Japan for a year are in town. We spent a lot of time hanging out with them.

I love my friends. All of them. I haven't had enough sleep in the last several weeks, but my soul feels fed.

Several of my friends are exploring (or awaiting results of) business ventures lately. And I find myself eager for everyone to succeed. Every last one of us. My community is so full of bright, capable people with big dreams. And I want good things for every one of us.

Here's hoping for many great things in the future--both fun and business related.
