Well, I went to Grundy today for my cousin's kid's (Nicholas) 3rd birthday. Left here around 3:30 or so. The day was pretty lazy. Kim just had to bring up the issue that I do not have a girlfriend. Then, of course, my mom tells me that I should ask out some people and Kim says she will help me find someone. ACK! If I wanted your help, I would have asked for it. Eventually they got around to joking that I should go to a titty bar or they should get me a hooker. Bahh! Have you ever had a family member suggest that sort of stuff? I know it was a joke, but ahh. This is not family conversation. I wish I could know my dad's side of the family a bit better, they seem a lot more like my type. Normally I get along just fine with these people, but they can get a little nosy and inconsiderate sometimes. They are very out-spoken and love to tease people. I roll my eyes at that.
I really wanted to get back in time to catch a movie, but that did not happen. I got back at around 11:00. Tomorrow, I think I'm going down to Prairie Meadows for father's day. I guess this is a family weekend. Perhaps a bunch of us can go after church next week. I've got a some homework and a test earlier next week, so I really can't do it until then.
My new blog system is just about done. I have a few bugs to work out and if I have time, I will have it running Monday evening. The email feature is working just like I planned. Though, I'm thinking perhaps I should include the post in the email in addition to links to making a comment and viewing the comments. I'm so proud that I was able to do this all from scratch. Perhaps I should take the time to learn CSS as well.
Anyway. I have been a little ranty today. I'm going to get an episode of Stargate out of the way and go to bed.

Well it sounds like at least it sounds like your family is trying to humor you. My dad's side of my family is pretty social and just nice overall, but whenever my mom's side of the family is at events it's pretty much just adults there who are really only interested in talking amongst themselves and a bunch of little kids.
I honestly don't know what to think about the titty bar & hooker thing, it's hilarious & disturbing to have family members saying something like that. I don't know the people in your family who said that so im guessing that no matter what it was probably disturbing since you said they like to tease a lot.
The worst I really have it is my Grandma's asking me if I have a girlfriend and then I have to come up with a quick reply back like I said here http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/cdw/22301.html .
BTW i'd think it'd be nice if you could enable your blog system to allow you to see the entry your posting a reply to while your writting the reply just so I don't have to open up another tab or paste it in Wordpad.
I have already added that feature. I was beginning to get upset at that myself.
Well, the chances of my parents suggesting I go to a "titty bar" are quite negative -- they would discourage it strongly.
However, they do give me "suggestions" and "encouragement" on dating. It's quite annoying. So often it seems that my parents basically judge guys for me based on looks rather than the potential for a mutually beneficial relationship. OK, so they'll also consider money and the potential that he can earn enough to support a family. <sarcasm>After all, a woman just has a college degree so that she can provide for her children in the event that something happens to her husband and she has to work.</sarcasm>
