cats: the worlds next world leaders

I find this picture humorous.
I love cats, and kittens have this way of making you laugh. Although sometimes they make you want to punt them, but then they look at you with those cute kitten eyes...
And you can't help but feel sorry for them and want to cuddle them and let them play...

OKEEZ!

[this is off to a bad start]

Microsoft Paint is awesome and fun! [yep... bad...] Whenever you're bored and on the compy, just hop onto Paint and doodle around.
Here're some pics that have been contrived by me.
As you [the viewer] can see, they range in quality from not so great to terrible. But, be that as it may, they were fun to do none the less. There're more stuffs and things, but four is enough [to torture you with].

Well, that's all for now. Stay tuned for "Mortal Combat IX: Hamster vs. Cat: The 'Comic'!" [totally, totally lame]. I think I might actually try to do that [which is also, totally, totally lame]. It'll take a while, and I'll try to get some wicked sweet [and probly totally lame] action in there.

well, see ya! [you] [yall] [yous guys] [youins] [etc.]

round and round we go

I was working on my chainmail last night. It's cool stuff. I need to get to the Home Depot and get some more wire and some of my own tin snips. Last night, though, I was experimenting with some different ways of doing it. I think I'm going to make my chain a mix of the "standard" link pattern with bits and parts of the piece using the Japanese chainmail link pattern, double-ringed and with leather plates fixed in between. The little piece I made looks cool, and I'm thinking I'm going to use it on the shoulders and at the base to cover the side of the legs. I might also see about finding a large enough piece (or large enough pieces) of leather to cut to shape, maybe put in rivets, and fix to the chest and/or back of the mail. I'll probly just keep it all chain with a little bit of leather here and there.

Now it is time to be off to Comp 1000... growl, I hate 8:00 classes... especially when they're a half-hour (or so) walk away.
Anyways.....

caffiene... must intake in large doses

Tis late (or early), but I thought I might post some stuff.

I'll begin with the past day for starters. Lets see, started off with the test in Comp 1000 (aka how to use the computer you already use all the time). Got it perfect. It's like being tested on how to walk... or how to breathe. Anyway, next class: Micro Econ and the test there (that was themed on Family Guy). Not sure how well i did, but I'm hoping for an A, although due to the lack of very many questions on the test (25), it might drop to a B. Then after that one, it was the Plant Prop class that I also had a test in. Yay? Well, I have to say it was my first test ever with a crossword puzzle in it... yes, I'm at a University and he puts a crossword puzzle on the test. Anyway...

Oh, re-beating Halo 3. I beat it on easy, but that's about as challenging as putting on your clothes. Did it so I could see the end of the story (although I wonder if there are alternate endings...?). Working on normal now, saving Heroic for 2 player co-op (or maybe solo if I find the motivation), but Legendary I won't touch with a Spartan Laser til I can 4-man it.
I found that there's this Forge thing that you can totally re-arrange and set up a map how you like it. The terrain will remain unchanged (say that 5 times fast), but you can add/remove weapons, grenades, equipment, power-ups, vehicles, destructible objects, and other movable things such as barrels, tables, etc. It's perty nifty. Want a map with only Molotov grenades? (and YES! there are Molotov's) Done. Want a map that's precarious with exploding barrels? Done. It's cool. It takes a while to set up what you want, but it's worth it. Plus, you can multi-player in the Forge and have each person work on stuff.

Ok, time for that sleep stuff.

shall i type?

Post-trip follow up:

• 7 hours of drive time
• around 500 miles of road covered
• close to $80 in gas

Stuff done on the trip back to the homeland:

• fun w/ friends camping and being outdoors (and fire!)
  
• around 60 rounds shot w/ the sks
• lots of [but not enough] time w/ Heather and watched Blades of Glory (funny)
• almost all of my clothes worth of laundry done
• saw all my friends
• ate at Beauregard's w/ my parent's

All in all, pretty good. I'm tired, but good.

Halo comes out tomorrow night. yay. Test in plant prop Wednesday. not-so-yay. I think I shall sleepy sleepy.

Once again, feel free to visit any time :P

cool beans

The Master Chief's (Spartan 117) armor in Halo 2 was the MJORNIR Mark VI armor. The armors below are the E.V.A. and C.Q.B. respectively.




Oh, and take note of the shoulders too. There are differences even between armors of the same type. The speculation is that you'll be able to mix and match between a few different helmets and shoulder-pieces, making each different for your own Spartan super-soldier.

and another thing, there are many more weapons added that i first thought... which is awesome. I'll skip descriptions and leave it to the game to reveal 'em. :P

finish the fight

I totally forgot (although I don't know how) to mention the missile pod thing that you'll be able to use. There's also a slight (note: very very slight) chance that they'll have a flamethrower:Although that would be cool, they might not. Here's the page link that describes they whys and why nots.

Anyways, Here's senior Master Chief and his Elite friends/allies.
And here are some Spartan pics that I edited into one picture. Oh, seeing the sniper rifle on the far left Spartan's back reminds me of another thing that I forgot to mention and is really cool, the whole able to see your alternate weapon thing.Click on the picture to enlarge :)

OH OH! next post I'll put up some pics of the alternate armors that are (I'm pretty certain) available for multiplayer! Rock somethin' wicked sweet.

sept 24, bring it on

So I had a test last Friday in economics. It made me laugh. "Made you laugh?" you might ask. Yes. The professor themed the test w/ Anchorman. There were random answers dispersed throughout like "LOUD NOISES," or "60% of the time it works every time." He also had some questions like the one using Ron Burgundy and the amount of burritos or scotch he had and the one w/ Champ and Brick and their squirrels and chocolate. It wasn't a bad test at all... Ah, if all teachers were so easy going and fun. Dr. Macy Finke is easy to pay attention and listen to while at the same time making it easy to understand the concepts and presenting them in a challenging way.

Unlike the professor that teaches my plant prop (and intro hort) classes whose name I can't remember. He gives the most info and the least details. He'll talk and talk and I don't have a clue what he's trying to drive at. He'll go off on tangents that I don't know if I need to remember or not. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy and all; but he should not be a teacher... at all. His lack of structure makes it very hard to take notes and he speeds through the power points so fast I can't write it down fast enough. Oh well. I'll stop rambling.

I couldn't help but notice that the Patchster commented on the last post. Well here's something for you that you might appreciate (maybe the only person that would be able to. maybe Austin, not sure). In any case, in Micro Economics [the class with the awesome teacher], he was talking about utility and how much satisfaction we get out of goods, etc etc. The unit for utility is the util (pronounced YOO-dle). And all through the rest of the class (which was only a total 30ish mins long 'cause he's the best) I couldn't stop thinking about HALO and the map-- headlong I think-- with the blue grav-lift that we affectionately nicknamed The Yoodle.

ON THE NOTE OF HALO! I purchased a [halo 3 edition] 360 and pre-ordered HALO 3. Uber awesomeness is what that is. Some things that are cool:

• The graphics rock something awesome!
• New guns such as the laser thing, and the ability to pull a turret off the mount and use it. also the re-introduction of the assault rifle. The magnum's look has changed back to that of the first HALO pistol, so don't know how that's going to play out. There are also some brute pistol things that I'm not completely sure about either.
• New grenades, or grenade-like thingys. The force bubble thing that puts up an impenetrable shield around you, handy in a pinch. And there's a trip mine, I think they called it that, that you can lay down and when a warthog hits... boom, dead.
  
• In the campaign, when the 2nd player joins, he's no longer a 2nd master chief, but instead the arbiter. Also, if I'm not mistaken (and I'm sure that it's true for xbox live campaign), you'll be able to have 4 player campaign. And the other 2 players won't be more arbiters and master chiefs either: they will each be unique (and wicked cool lookin') elites with names and backgrounds.
• That there's the ATV vehicle, the mongoose, is cool too.
  
• ***one thing that I hope they bring back is the infinite grenades option in multiplayer, that'd be sweet 'cause I've missed no shield, no radar, active camo, grenade matches... ah the fun of HALO 1***
  

stress+more stress= (school+work) - time

Well jeepers and pancakes!

...

It's kinda odd being on me own. Like, I now have my place, not just my room. But pickles and gravy! Evryone wants your money! Paying rent: makes sense and totally expected; paying $30 for a little i-clicker thing to register attendance is dumb. And just two hundred bucks on chem books alone?! I mean, c'mon! And the price of school, the fact they make you pay for the transit system that I don't use 'cause it's out of the way and inconvenient right now. And, of course, it's not enough to charge you for tuition, or number of hours, but each college has to charge their own little fees for each class you take, AND they make you pay not only to apply, but to register AND for the required (so you have to pay for it) orientation thing. Ahhhh Peaches! I know Gus Chiggins would say that I should be more worried about the cyotes' than this, but seriously. I mean, throw me a freakin' bone here.
Oh, and to top all of that off (yes, it gets better...), the GM at this McAlister's is apparently, um... we she's... well. You know... ANYWAY, she has me back down to $6.50/hr: STARTING PAY! GOOD FREAKING GRACIOUS! Does my almost 2 and a half years of working at a McAlister's and the $7.65/hr I was making mean nothing??? General Managers, all they care about is two things: Their tales, and their money. Not a crap else. It irks me so bad. I'm going to try to get another job that will pay me more... then I'll give those people a small piece of my mind. The injustice and inhumanity...

Well, other than all that...

School itself ain't too horrible. Going to be work intensive but not overall very hard. My comp class instructor is a Indian man who has a slight British accent, fun stuff. Hopefully in my chem lab we'll blow stuff up. That'd be wicked awesome. In plant propagation lab I'll be doing stuff in a greenhouse; hands on stuff is fun. Let's see, what else... Oh, my micro econ professor is a blast. Super funny guy. And he didn't require us to buy the book(s) for his class, just to take notes: A+ Super Duper is what that is.

The downside, though, of being down here is I'm alone. I mean, sure there's 26,000-odd student's and there're people in McAlister's that I'm getting acquainted with and whatnot, and I can call/email/IM/whisper in WoW/text people back home at almost anytime, but it's not the same as being able to see evryone at church, or being able to just call someone up and go and hang out for a while. Not only that, I was so used to being able to see Heather almost evry day of the week, so this whole not being able to see her for weeks on end is murder. Not literally, I'm not actually killing people. I don't think I really had to explain that, but for some reason I felt the need to... urrr... anyway....

I can see this is getting long and cumbersome, so I leave this as a good stopping point.

P.S. My doors always open to anyone that wants to come and visit. Once again, not literally, but... you know...

yes! ... i mean, it's so aweful...

So my phone did this:
and got uber-fried. It's usually not good when you put in the battery and the phone just sits there vibrating and smelling like heating metal and plastic. Dude, blogger has spellcheck in it now... that's new and kinda cool... anyway, back to what's going/gone down. That was yesterday when saltwater permeated my t629 Samsung cell phone (as I was getting ready to get on the jet ski). So today I proceeded to go to the T-Mobile store and got a looksy at all the phoneses. The nice T-Mobile lady informed me that to replace my phone w/ the one I had it would be $175 or $190. Something around in there. Well, my mind says, "ouch!" 'cause I wasn't as pleased as punch w/ the former phone/diver's performance and overall sturdiness. Well, to make a long story short, got the below pictured Motorola RIZR and it's cool. I like mucho more than my previous phone and late aspiring jet ski rider.


perty, eh?
Perks: MP3s finally work (couldn't get them to w/ my t629)
2 megapixel camera, not to shabby for a phone
sturdier
looks cooler
and some other stuff i don't want to have to bother typing.

TITLE

Back By Popular Demand!

ok i posted. back to other things.

:P

(2.5hrs)x(100Q+2pgs)=finals.4.2day.

Well, I was sent home from work early today 'cause we were really slow and I needed to finish my bio final. So instead of going home I went to school, finished and finished the last 30 or so questions. Then I decided to go ahead and write my Lit I final too. So I did. Now all that done and I still have and hour and a half before my Bio final's due, then another 3 hours til my Lit I final is due. Maybe I can turn in my Lit Final early then go home, take a deep breath, play WoW, and relax. Then of course to back to school at 9:30ish to see how Heather did on her math final and help destressify (cool word, eh?) her.
I think I shall go and roam the halls looking for the Lit I professor... I think that's a good idea...

so it begins...

Ok, there's the picture. Basically it was a wreck. Rob needed the walkway in the walk-in clear and stacked all the boxes haphazardly to the side. That's Jason there posing nicely in front of the not too often seen beauty... that being something that will make the night crew actually have to work...


by the way, i think that i've used "so it begins..." as a post title before. maybe i should start naming then all that...?

rollin' in the mud....

Well, I was going to put up a funny pic made at work today, but I'll have to wait til I'm home. Paper 1 down only my 5 page research paper for Lit 2 due Tuesday left to write. Finals coming up, and it looks like all of the T/Th classes' finals are on the 3rd, so that will be good and bad simultaniously (spell check where are you?!). My Psy final... who knows when it is. The professor sure don't. I think it's scheduled for the 9th, but that would put us at only 3 tests over the entire semestor, with material having been cut out.... So that coupled with the fact that the tests are very odd, weird, bizarre, hard to study for, and any number of similar adjectives ("I love adjectives!"... a little insider, I know) makes the ending grade of this class seem... iffy. iphy. iffee? ify. ifeee..... how do you spelll thatt, ii can'tt sayy thatt ii knoww. andd noww i'mm puttingg twoo endingg letterss att thee endd off everyy wordd......

Last night, employee at McAlister's puts food in the oven to heat... on a red plastic tray. Contrary to apparent beliefs, plastic does melt in a 425 degree oven. Pestering will ultimately follow.

"I am an alien I am an alien I am an alien I am an alien..."

So now I'm just killing time before I go back to work... ok I'm done now. good bye for another long or brief period of time.

i'm going to blarg... honk

I got my tax return check today! All $14.00 of it. That's like, 5 and 1/2 gallons of gas. Or 3 cases of water with some change. Or a knife or two at the flea market. Or 14 drinks/snacks at school. You know, I got to thinking about it; there's all this stuff we pay for and all kinds of things that are the same price (at least approximately). But when you get down to it, are some of the things really equal in price? Seemingly not too many times when all's said and paid for. Oh well, that's economics fer ya. And by the way, gas prices aren't really high at all, comparatively speaking. If you take the inflation rate of many products, gas has gone up very little. The rise still stinks like Honk-Honk, but that, once again, is economics. Unless of course I'm out of date/misinformed or just out of my mind. ((btw, Honk-Honk is the alien in RvB... just to clear that up))

before i go and sleeeeep, tomorrow i'm paintballing with (probly half-drunk) work aquaintences in 30 degree weather! fun stufffff.
also something Heather said once that i thought was humorous in its own silly way:
"*gasp* Someone stole my car and replaced it with one exactly like mine!"
another also: explosives are cool. i cannot stress that enough.
also another also: i like oatmeal creme pies more than fudge rounds, although they beat them by only a fraction of tasty goodness.
another also another also: i want to go camping sometime.
also another also also: "I'm Ron Burgandy?"

Ok, sense I know everyone was waiting on the edges of their seats for this post and the update on the S-07, now the S2-07, S2-07lb, and the S2-07a, here it is. If nothing else, it was fun to paint.
[[Click Images to Enlarge]]

once upon a college class...

I think that having done that increased my nerdiness by 37.1%; but that's ok, 'cause it was fun. The picture pretty much says it all, so I don't have to say much. Stay tuned... or webbed?... for updated on design and functionality. Oh, and the "S" stands for Skipper. And the 07 stands for 2007. That just seems to be the trend in giving weapons names or numbers.
Hmm, I should pull the foregrip off and see how it looks like that...

the shower is my philosophizing time

Teens and sometimes young adults have been steriotyped to be stubburn, rebellious, and generally a pain, always being told to "act their age" and/or to "grow up." And yes, it is true that we're silly alotta times, and that it's in this stage of life, as-it-were, that most of the dumb things people do are done. But guess what: adults, or should I say "adults" act silly too. Many times younger people are chastised for things they do when they are only doing as they see their elders do at times. Such a double standard will leave some people bumfuzzled and baffled, I mean, it doesn't make sense that a parent will act goofy and then two hours later tell you to stop acting goofy and that he/she "hate's silliness."
Many times, also, though, youthful peoples are discounted. By that I mean that those who are "older and more experienced" don't listen to wisdom that an adolescent may have; many automatically decide that sense it was a youth that made the choice that it is automatically a bad decision and that they should immediately reconsider and follow their exact counsel. We're steriotyped as the age at which we think we know everything, but guess what; older people don't know everything either. I'm not discounting that older people know more from experience and just having been on this place we call the earth longer, but somehow they get into their heads too often that they are an expert on life and everything they think or say is automatically a trump to anything anyone younger than them says. All that to say, just because one is older doesn't automatically mean that they are wiser, just because someone is younger doesn't automatically mean they are dumber. Yes, in general people are wiser as they get older, but wiser doesn't mean omniscient. All too often the older a person gets the more doors they close in their mind shutting out what others have to say. Full willing to give their advice or oppinion, but not giving the time of day to other's thoughts, especially not those younger, because God forbid that a youth have wisdom. But once again, just for further clarity, I'm not saying that everyone is like this, it just seems to be a trend at times.
But on the flip side, we (as in younger people) need to always keep in mind that we don't always know everything either, and yes we will make some stupid decisions, but just 'cause it seems like more are stupid than not doesn't mean they're all dumb. It seems that people at this age don't want to believe people older than them many times 'cause they don't want to believe the people younger than them. In other words, it's a repeating cycle that falls back on itself. We'll get older and probly do the same thing to our kids who will do it to their kids. Kindof depressing if you think about it.
Oh well, that's life. To quote my one and only recorded poem, "The wheels of the world keep spinning, /sometimes your caught in the middle/ sometimes your flung to the edge."
On a side note, I still really like that piece of verse. Maybe I'll try to perfect it or make it rhyme or something someday.

Also on another side note: Lindsay (manager @ McAlister's) is very quickly losing Donald-rep (a little insider there, I know). So far the tally of people that have quit, fired themselves (short story, but for another day), or gotten fired without reason is 3 (and there may be more I don't know about); Heather included. The other two were really good workers and cool people too, but Lindsay is convinced that no job will get done right unless she does it herself and that all (at least female) people working in the front are inferior to her. Feel my anger burn *sizzle sizzle*....

Ok, I'm done blogging for another week or two; besides, I gotta get back to Lit II study.

P.S. : I think I'm getting to like poetry... ah! the horror!! quick, punch me in the face to see if I'm asleep!
Which reminds me of an RvB quote:

[Tucker punches Church]
Church: OW! What was that for??
Tucker: I just wanted to see if I was dreaming.
Church: You don't punch somebody else to see if your dreaming! You have someone pinch you!
Tucker: ... There is no way I'm going to let you pinch me.

roses are red, violets are blue

2-week notice as of today. When I told Nate he spazzed a little and asked me to not come to any decisions yet; to talk to him Friday and he'd have a reason/incentive for me to stay by then... hehe. Of course, he didn't tell anyone else, 'cause it came as a surprise to Lindsay and Sarah (our new manager). Lindsay told me to not be too hasty (in not so many words) and that she'd talk to Trapper and figure something out. Me thinks to meself, "It's not going to happen," but I shall see. All else fails, 2 weeks from now I'm done with McAlister's. And if I don't get hired at Terranova's I'll have a few weeks to play WoW and find a new job.
.
Here's some memorable lines from Red vs Blue that popped in my head today at work:
.
"I like thinking inside the box. I feel safe there." ~Tucker
.
"Ahh ha! You foolish fools!!" ~Doc/O'mally
.
"I like me." ~Caboose
.
"Yeah, a Chupathingy. How 'bout one a them?" ~Sarge
.
"You didn't happen to hear our secret plan to tell the Reds..." ~Caboose
.
"I'd just like everyone to know that I'm a girl. And I like ribbons in my hair. And I want to kiss all the boys..." ~Griff
.
Griff: "Did you hear that? Bats!"
Simmons: "That's water. Bats don't drip."
Griff: "Bat-water!"
[unwritten talking about going next to the light and a no-moving policy]
Griff: "You know what else lives in caves? Snakes."
Simmons: "You're a [edit] Griff, why'd you have to bring up snakes!?"
Griff: "Just 'cause we're in a cave, and snakes like to live in caves, and snakes like to crawl up next to people in caves..."
Simmons: "Screw it, I'm standing next to the light."
.
"Once when I was younger, this guy claiming to be my uncle did this thing with a water hose that haunts me to this day..." ~Sarge
.
"You wanna talk about it?" ~Simmons
.
"That's right, Caboose. I'm a gay robot." ~Church
.
"I switched the hamburger for a grenade! ... I don't think I should've done that..." ~Caboose
.
Church: "You can reboot anything. We robooted the refrigerater, we rebooted the toaster. Heck, we even rebooted Caboose's armor... although that took longer to come back online than expected"
Caboose: "It was dark and I got to hold my breath! I'm sure there were no side effects."
.
"I can't feel my torso." ~Caboose
.
[[note: these were written from memory and might be quoted slightly different than actually said by the character. also, each quote is color coordinated to the charater saying it except Tucker for which there wasn't teal in the color selection so I just popped in a color relative, but not really, close]]
There are many many many many more, but to try to remember/write them all down in one sitting would take much of a long time. So I will Stick with what I've got written down for now, and add more as they come to me. Just pop 'em onto the bottom of a post or something.
.
"My body is trying to die..." ~Caboose

sardines

So there's a bunch of stuff I'm about to cram into this post. Let us start with the more humorouser of the topics: Munchkin cats.
These cute little critters actually exsist. By some they were reffered to as "freaky weiner cats." But really, how can you resist such a cute little short-legged kitty cat such as this? So cute, so loveable... so fuzzily cuddly.





Well, In other news: I applied for Terranova's today. Hopefully I'll be able to get the job. I'm putting in my two-week at McAlister's tomorrow. The whole place is starting to really annoy evryone there... actually it's primarily annoying the people who have worked there a long time and/or are good workers. I mean, you don't tell the shift leader who keeps lazy highschoolers (not steriotyping, just that the primary laziness comes from highschoolers at McAlisters) doing their jobs that he's "the same quality employee as evryone else." Not Cool. At all. And you don't tell someone that they are entitled to a dollar raise for the new position you're putting them at then tell them you have to ask to see if you can give it to them, then make them wait a week and a half just to tell them that they might get half. Also Not Cool.


That said, here's an excerpt from a song that caught my attention the other day. I'd heard the song over and over but never really paid too close attention to the words. The person whom it concerns should know why this particular line popped out at me.
The song it Hate Me, by Blue October:
the line:

And with a sad heart I say [said] bye to you and wave[d]
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that [they said] I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man 
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand 
And then fell down yelling “make it go away!” 
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be 
And then she whispered “how can you do this to me?”

please note the [*] was added for context only and isn't in the song.


On a final note, A look into Donnie's mind: I am hungry. I like swiss cake rolls. Poetry is hard to figure out; I think it's overrated. Butane burns hotly. Sleeping to 1:00 in the afternoon is a nice to do evry once and a while.

"Everyone is looking at me... I love it when they do that. Hi everybody!" ~Caboose RVB.

This is a diagram of some "work" I did to one of the airsoft guns I have. It's cool.
((click image to enlarge... I think))
.
Anyway, yesterday at work we came up with a new product... Dangerously Clean!. We did this by combining Heavy Duty "purple stuff" Degreaser, Glass Cleaner, bleach, Gojo, and Dawn Dish Detergent. Come to think of it, we should've added the Floor Cleaner to Dangerously Clean! too... hmm. Oh well, maybe next time. In any case, we decided to test the ph of the water the Dangerously Clean! was in. Well, Dangerously Clean! was so acidic (or basic? can't remember) that it turned the test strip a beautiful deep blue... just before desolving the test substance off the paper. It turned the steamer almost white (removing the stains that made it dark grey). So clean, so grime (or hand!) can stand up to it!

This has been a public service announcement. Make Dangerously Clean! yourself by adding any and/or all the cleaners in your house together. Please wear gloves and use with caution. Also watch for not-so-savory mixers that might make mustard gas, or even explode.
Thank you for your time and patience.

Owls are cool. And little fluffy brown ones that stare at you with those big green eyes, laying helplessly in hands,... the little guy was cute, but I don't think the vet person saved it. Rest in peace little buddy. You were cute and cuddle-worthy. Let us take a moment to remember the little guy...

Ok, on other news: Lighters are cool, butane torches are fun, and javelins are hard to throw. Thank you, this has been a WotW update.

"...sometimes you're flung to the edge..."

Grr. Madness. Anger. Perturbedness. Basically, almost ("almost" being a very generous term) evrything is not going right. Let's just look at one not-so-controversial facet of my life (although "not controversial," please note that the following situation(s) is nonetheless annoying):
I shall start from the beginning of this mad epic:

• Initial minor breaks/damage to vehicle: inside door handle, rotating window latch, interior light cover, driver's side parking light fixture, driver's side tail light cover. [none replaced]
  
• Power steering problems arise, necessitating the replacement of power steering pump and high pressure hose. [~$150]
  
• Necessary replacement of power steering belt tensioner pulley. [~$20]
  
• Truck starts bleeding to death a little over 2 months ago (bad oil loss). [~$20]
  
• Easy replacement of problem gasket... only to have the truck not starting. [~$13]
  
• Use of parents truck for 2 months or so. [~$20-$60/week more on gas]
  
• Recent discovery that my truck can start (with much patience and many tries). [~$4]
  
• Flat tire on the way to/at Heather's replaced (not without complications) 3 days ago or so.
• Tonight: drift asleep slighty and hit a curb damaging front passenger wheel and causing another unreplaceable [see above] flat. [estimated over $300]
  
• Have to bum a ride to work tomorrow or try to get work off so I can replace the tires and wheel. [free]
  
• This is not to mention the apparent breaking of some clips in the steering column of my parents truck during my use of the vehicle. [ $?]
• [almost $700 total]
  

In short: vehicles+me="AHHHHH! We're all gonna die!!" (or at least you better not want the vehicle in one piece. One way or another that things falling apart, whether it be by accident, system failure, or aliens, something is going to break on it.) It's all just very annoyingly stressful... I hope beyond hope that they can cover my shift for tomorrow so I can get my truck fixed. It needs a name like Grimlin, or Legion, 'cause there's something about that thing that doesn't like me.

I think I'm going to try to type stuff up on this thing more oftener. When I'm even at home and on the compy, I'm playing WoW 95.6% of the time.

About to send off the second part of application to Auburn. I hope that I can get in and all, although I'm relatively sure I am. I also hope that I can get some sort of grant, not just loans. Actually, I hope that I can get loans too, 'cause if KP isn't able to go down this fall, I'll be hard pressed to come up with the money to pay for college and living expenses. We shall see. Maybe if he isn't going to be able to, I'll get lucky and someone else I know will be going down there.

School time; get to disect the wonderous glory of an earthworm... if you can call that disection...

when you're bored...

Calhoun is definately not a good place to be if you want entertainmet. I've got 1 and a half hours til my next class. I finished the book(s) I had been reading, so now, I don't really have too much to keep me busy while at school. I just use up my lead and paper drawing or doodling... or drawdling...?

Stephen: you need to get real-WoW. Once you do, create a character on the realm Rexxar and give me your character's name. That way I can talk to you when you're on and give you the hook-ups.

Austin: you should at least try one of the free ten-day trials of WoW to see if you'd like it. If you don't, that's ok, some people just aren't as cool as others. Just kidding,... but really :P. You might like it, and you don't have to be worried about getting addicted, you can just go and play evry now and again (provided you like it) and pet it... like you would a little kitten.

Some think I'm addicted to World of Warcraft; I'm not addicted, I'm highly involved. I actually spend the least time on it in my whole family (minus Adam & Sarah who don't play/have it). It's really a fun game, 'cause it's kindof like AIM, email, a fantasy quest game all wrapped up in one. It's one of those, don't dis it til you try it type deals.

I would keep typing, but I have things to do.

by the way

yeah... I'm at school, on a computer that don't have WoW, and bored... I wish it was still snowing so that school would be cancelled...

linkin park's Hit the Floor

There were just too many
Times people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on
When I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I’m not around
You think having the upper hand
Means you gotta keep putting me down
But I've had too many stand-offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
So I’ll wait until the upper hand is mine

One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone

So many people like me that put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned of what you think
To just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel
You've cross the line
What goes up will surely fall, and I'm counting down the time
Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you
Its about as much as I can stand
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won

And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up is got to fall

One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone

And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone

can you please
