Happy New Year. Bah Humbug.

I took a 4 hour nap this afternoon and I'm still tired. I should probably go to the doctor or something and find out what's going on.

I'm watching Urban Legend on DVD; Wal-Mart had it for $7.50!! OK, I'm off...

Ugh, I can't keep my eyeballs open. I'm so tired all of the time; it's quite irritating. I'm still sick, but I'm no longer so crappy feeling that I have to take any kind of over the counter stuff. I just have a cough and some boogies; no major thing.

I'm hoping to score some industry passes for the Detroit Auto Show. If I'm lucky enough to get the passes, I will get to attend the show next weekend instead of two weekends from now. That would rock! I wouldn't have to deal with the public and all of their stupidity, and that would be nice.

I didn't make it to the Metal Sludge event at the Hi-Fi Club due to my being sick. I didn't think all of that nasty cigarette smoke would mesh well with my already screwed up sinuses, so I stayed away from the club. I hear it was a pretty good time, but I'm sure there will be another event to go to sometime soon, so I'm not losing any sleep over having missed it.

What is the deal with all of the fake Louis Vuitton bags that are suddenly popping up from nowhere? One more fake LV bag and I'm going off. You're not fooling anyone with your fake bag; so go home and take your crappy bag with you!

OK, I think I'm finished now.

Well I feel much better today, but I'm still really tired. I believe my turn for the better has a lot to do with the Aleve Cold and Sinus pill I took a couple hours ago. I really don't care why I feel better, though, so I'm going to stop trying to figure it out!

Today is December 28th; it is 60 degrees outside. This is spooky...

I finally changed my turn clicker bulb (no more spastic clicker!), and replaced my mini fuses with regular fuses. I had no idea mini fuses weren't the same as regular ones; I just thought their cases were smaller. Once my mechanic stopped laughing at me, he explained that it does make a difference and I should change them. So I did. LOL I also stickered my car with a Cat in the Hat sticker and an Elmo sticker, and re-affixed my Queensryche Fan Club sticker. It's quite obvious that my car is a chick car, and I like it that way. I'll have to post some photos later this afternoon, after I take a nice ride in this good weather.

We went to Joe's Crab Shack last night for dinner, and it was hella good. I had the shrimp scampi and crab balls and, of course, I couldn't finish it all so I brought half of it home. I just finished eating it about a half hour ago and dammit it was even better than last night.

OK, I'm off...

Well, I opened my big mouth on Friday morning and now I'm paying up for it. I had to mouth off about having not been sick, especially with the flu floating around, and Friday night I got sick. Within a span of 3 hours I went from feeling find to wanting to die. I felt a little better today after I tossed back some Sudafed Liquicaps, but now I feel worse. I'm going to take some Sudafed night stuff and try to sleep. I'm going to the doctor on Monday, but I have a feeling it's going to be a fruitless effort.
Those of you who know me well are aware of how I am when I'm sick; those of you who don't know me well wouldn't want to be around me right now, trust me!

~Insert whining here~

Woohoo! My Mom gave me a check last night for the exact amount of the Dooney and Bourke purse I want! It's the white purse, not the black one. I repeat, woohoo! I plan on going to the mall tonight to get it; I am too excited.

I'm going to use my West Point Market gift certificate tonight too. I love West Point Market!

I ate too much yesterday, and felt like I was going to hurl this morning. Now I'm OK, but I know to not eat 3 pieces of ham then go to bed. I learned that lesson please and thank you.

I'm waiting on the mailman now; a record player that was supposed to be here in time for Christmas will probably arrive today. I love the postal service.

I'm going to do something in order to waste time until I go to Summit Mall and get my purse! I am waaaaaaaay too excited about a purse!

Woohoo! I got the cutest metal VW sign for Christmas! Now if I only had a garage...

I also got a Porsche magnet and a Without A Trace DVD. I looooove Without A Trace; mmmmmm, Anthony LaPaglia. This is a single episode "screener" DVD that you can't buy in the store. Ain't I special? LOL I received various other sundries that I'll post tomorrow.

Speaking of posting, I'm posting a 30 second video clip of Mikey the Cat being hella cute with a piece of ribbon. I used my digi cam's video feature, so sorry for the shabby quality. It's better than no video, though!! OK, here's a Mikey photo and the infamous Mikey w/ribbon video. Enjoy (those are Brian's toes, not mine, in the video)!

Santa was decently good to me. More tomorrow.

Happy Ho Ho Ho Day!

I'm tired of dealing with stupid people so I'm going to bed.

Here's what really makes me mad:

You try to help a friend out and they take advantage of your kindness. Then they get pissed off when you take neccessary measures to become "whole" again. Do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it, and everything will be fine. Fuck around and things will not be fine. Isn't that simple to understand?

On a happier note, I finally got my Christmas present put together, and most of my crap put away. This is good.

Training for my new job is tomorrow from 9AM-11AM then I start the 11th of January. Woohoo!

OK, I'm off.

Bleh.

I've updated my shoe page; I looooove Christmas! Dr. Martens are your friend.

I'm off to do something.

On the way home from the Falls (Cuyahoga Falls/Akron) last night there was a car overturned on RT 8; that rocked. It was worth the 15 minute wait in traffic just to see the moron who managed to flip her car. I've been told I drive like a Kennedy, and even I've not managed to flip my car.

My Mom got me a new dresser thingie for Christmas. It took an engineer 2 hours to put the general frame together; imagine me trying to put it together with my total lack of patience. Parts would have been flying. I do get to put the drawers together sometime tomorrow; this is going to be fun.

I got the MooTop's CD-R/DVD Drive fixed last night. Do not ever buy a Gateway product as their service techs, salespeople and customer service all sucks. If you must buy a Gateway, buy it from 1-800-Gateway and ask for extension 75769 (Josh). Josh kicks ass! He is the only reason I bought the MooTop.

It's cold right now, but it is supposed to be almost 50 degrees Monday and Tuesday. This is good as I'm tired of running around in flannel pants, angora socks, boots, a sweatshirt, a hat, earmuffs, gloves and my heavy Ferrari coat. I prefer warmer weather, and I need to get out of Ohio until the end of May/beginning of June. Ugh!

For everyone who emailed me, Raffy-dog (Minerva Dave's doggy) is fine. Missing one toe, but fine nonetheless. Cancer free as well. Woohoo!

Not that anyone cares, but my nose is running and I'm tired. Off to bed I go.

I'm such a bum. We got home last night from WV around 6:30PM, and I was in bed by 9PM last night. I woke up to my Mom cackling on the phone around 10PM, then was back asleep by 10:30PM or so and slept until 7:30AM. I got up, went to the potty then went back to sleep until 11:15AM. Ah, sleep is nice.

All of my stuff is now home. Now I get to put all of my stuff away. This will be fun. (Learning how to not use sentence fragments. Sheesh.)

I'm off for now.

I hate snow. The only thing I hate more than snow is morning. It snowed last night, and it's morning. How happy do you think I am right now?

What's the point in asking if I'd like any sauces, then not giving them to me? Stupid Taco Bell/Long John Silvers drive-thru jockeys.

White trash makes me giggle.

Dishwalla just got a plug on CSI! I loooove Dishwalla.

I really should address my Christmas cards and get them in the mail. I also should put the tree up. Before Christmas.

OK, I'm off.

Woohoo, guess who got a job? I did! And the interview actually took long enough to make it worthwhile; I was there for an hour and 15 minutes. I don't start until January 11th and I'll be out of town every Monday-Thursday. But they pay is excellent plus they pay $15 a day for food money! Rock out!

I forgot to mention this interesting little tidbit. On my way home from interview number 1, I nearly hit a Jackson Township cop. Actually I was putting along below the speed limit (and that's a good thing) when the cop pulled out right in front of me. I called him a fucking prick and gave him the bird. I rock!! Dickhead...

Obviously I am not in Fairlawn having my MooTop repaired. Obviously I am a slacker.

My car makes me hungry, therefore I'm off to find food (don't ask).

I seriously hate interviews. I got up at 8AM, left the house at 9:15AM and arrived at the interview around 9:50AM. I was in the interview for 10 minutes, then drove another 35 minutes home. All of that time (2.5 hours) for a 10 fucking minute interview. I repeat, I hate interviews.

What does "postal money orders only" mean to you? Does it mean it's OK to send a non-postal money order? Sheesh.

Another interview at 1PM, then I hope to actually get up to the Gateway store and have my CD-R/DVD combo drive replaced.

Once again, I hate interviews.

Off to the shower; oh how I hate being up at the buttcrack of dawn.

Two interviews today, then it's off to UPS. Shipping stuff is fun!

No dinner party tonight as Dr. Chase has the flu!

I had to open my big mouth, didn't I? Seems that I do have that new flu; I didn't know it caused digestive pyrotechnics as well as a headache and general feelings of ickiness. Bah!

My interview is rescheduled for 1PM tomorrow so that means I have an interview at 10AM then another one at 1PM; at least they're close to one another (location wise). I'll hang out at the mall and hit the used record store in between interviews. Oh, the life of a dork.

Heehee, the cordless phones on Knight Rider are huge! Ah, the 80's. How great they were...

I need Tylenol or Advil or something. I'll be back later.

Wow, I managed to catch some type of stomach bug. I repeat, wow.

I know to never again spike Kool-Aid with Smirnoff; I've been up with heartburn since 7AM. This day has not begun on a good note.

I hope Raffy-dog gets through his surgery OK.

It's snowing, and it may stop at any time. I give it permission to stop right now.

I was just looking at my Type O Negative tattoo; Hammer Tattoo really jacked it up. It's all faded and crappy, plus it's raised up out of the skin. I know to never return to Hammer which is why I stick with (no pun intended) Kirk at Kustom Culture tattoo in Tallmadge, OH. He used to be at Tattoo Alley in Akron, but he opened his own shop in Tallmadge because he's that good! I need to visit Kirk; I'd like a new tattoo.

My tummy is grumbling but I'm afraid to eat. Grrrrrr. At least I don't have THE flu that everyone seems to be getting. I've heard it's horrible this year. I usually get strep, a cold and the flu all at once so I'm not upset about being left out of the flu loop.

I'm rocking out to the Scorpions. I had forgotten how good they actually are.

Does everyone enjoy my new blog schematic? I like it a lot better than the old look; it has more personality and personality goes a long way (what movie is that from?).

Well now, isn't that interesting? The lady who is interviewing me at 1PM just called; she has the flu and needs to reschedule my interview. That works out quite well though, so I'm not upset! She's "checking her calendar" then getting back with me.

Can everyone tell I'm hella bored? Thought so...

Since I no longer have an interview today I'm going to lay down and try to not have my throat eaten by stomach acid (nice mental photo, huh?).

Seriously, how sad is it that I've spiked my Kool-Aid with Smirnoff vodka? My...

Lets see, tomorrow I have an interview at 1PM then I hope to get up to the Gateway store in Fairlawn/Akron and have the CD-R/DVD drive in my MooTop replaced. That's all I plan on doing tomorrow.

Ugh, I'm so tired but I need to clean up my room. Don't you hate when you have a ton of crap to do, but you're just too tired to do any of it? Blah.

I spent too much time on the Net earlier today; it was raining by the time I got outside, so there was no decorating of the GTI today. I had to run to the post office, then I went to the half-off store to find coffee for my Mom. I found some interesting flavors really cheap, then came home. Now I need to tidy up my room, but I'm putting that off.

Mmmm, hot chocolate. Mint hot chocolate to be exact.

I need to wrap a few stray presents; I'll be back later.

Sorry I haven't updated this thing lately; I've been busy doing nothing. I went to WV on Saturday to pick up my crap, and couldn't fit it all in the car. I get to go back on Friday to get the rest of the stuff. Hopefully it won't snow like it did Saturday; that was hella fun to drive home in. The trip took 4.5 hours and it should only take 3 hours (the BaronBomb took longer since I couldn't go over 50MPH due to the overheating). I'm driving down on Friday and driving back on Friday; won't that be fun? I can't go tomorrow as I have an interview and I can't go Thursday as I have an interview and a dinner party on Thursday night, so that leaves Friday. I can't stay overnight because the dorms close at 5PM on Friday. Bah!

It's almost 50 degrees today! I am going outside to decorate the GTI as soon as I'm finished with this lovely post.

OK, I need to get off the computer while it's not raining; lots of shit to do with the GTI.

OK, it's official. I'm addicted to this tea. I know, I really should find something better to be addicted to, but for now it's that tea.

Today was a boring day. I slept until 1PM, then I popped out of bed and wandered down to the living room to sit in the recliner collect dust until 5PM when I hopped in the shower. Then my Mom and I went to Sprint to get my phone turned back on. While in Belden Village we went to Kohl's and World Market, then to Wendy's for supper. That was the extent of my day. Now I'm watching The Amityville Horror on USA, and trying to decide when to go to bed. I believe it shoud be quite soon as I have a tiring weekend ahead of me. Detroit tomorrow, then WV on Saturday. I guess I'm driving to WV and returning home on the same day; won't this be fun? My moving team (OK one person) has to be home all day on Sunday so we're going down and back on Saturday. That's going to suck.

OK, I'm off to bed.

Alright, I'm off to yell at the Sprint PCS people and probably stop by Kohl's as well.

OK, Sprint PCS is becoming my enemy. I called Sprint on Tuesday as I received my invoice for November and it said I had a 31 cent credit. I wanted to make sure I really didn't have a bill due for December, how that happened I don't know, so I called to confirm the fact. The lady at Sprint told me I don't have a bill this month, so I was all happy and shit. Well Sprint just shut off my damn phone! I called and some guy told me I have to take my receipt in from my payment in November, then they'll turn my phone back on. Argh, this is pissing me off!

I'm watching Valentine on TBS, but I think I'm going to bed.

Night all.

Ugh, I've spent the whole freaking day looking for cheapish record players. I finally found one, and I'm happy about it, but seriously now it took me all day!

Go in for my paper filling out at my new job tomorrow. Woohoo!

Supposed to be warm out tomorrow; double woohoo! I will get around to changing that turn signal bulb and the fuses in my car.

I'm off

I just wanted to let everyone know what a dork I am; I was just listening to Extreme's "More Than Words". In fact, I took the time to download it onto my MusicNet @ AOL thingie. Yes, I'm that dorky.

Don't you hate when you're tired but can't sleep? Bah.

The landlord was here all day (from 11AM-9PM) fixing the bathtub/sink. It's still not finished, so I couldn't take a shower today. Needless to say I feel grimy and didn't leave the house at all. Bleh!

Friday is TON in Detroit day! Then Saturday I'm going back to school to pick up all of my shit. I think I'll piss with the remaining roommates too; won't that be fun? Those kids made my life hell the whole time I was down there, so I hope they fuck around Saturday night and have a drunken party. I think a nicely placed call to the police would be a fitting revenge. I believe only 2-3 of them are 21 so it would be quite funny. Mwaaahahahahaha...

Yes, I am an ass.

I'm off.

Blah, bleh, blah...

That pretty much sums up my weekend. I was stuck at home Friday night due to the snow, then I was stuck in Akron on Saturday night due to the snow. I came home around 10:30AM and shoveled some of the parking area, took a nap from Noon-5PM and pretty much did nothing. I did tidy up my room and rearrange my CD cases though, so it wasn't a totally wasted weekend. I need to make a snowman tomorrow before it gets "warms up" on Tuesday/Wednesday (in the mid to upper 40's) and all of the snow melts. Since this is the only snow we're going to have this winter (someone's a bit too optimistic), I should make the best of it.

I really should check the oil in my Mom's car.

My room smells good.

I'm sleepy so it's off to bed for me.

Double woohoo. The Crow just started on TMCXW; tonight must be my lucky night. It means I'll be up until 4AM, but it's not like I have anything to do tomorrow (Saturday) anyway.

AOL has decided to seriously suck. It keeps shutting down, kicking me offline and now the AOL browser refuses to work. I guess it's a good thing I use SBC/DSL as my main connection, isn't it?

I am once again into the realm of $45/month car insurance. I love it!!

OK, I'm off.

Woohoo, The Crow is on Encore-W. I have the movie on VHS, but I left my VCR at school so I've been deprived for something like 2.5 weeks. Michael Wincott is one hot piece of ass.

OK, back to the movie; it's almost over.

Anyone who's feeling kind can get me this for Christmas. Thanks!

Dammit, it snowed today. When I say it snowed, I mean it really snowed. I took a photo of my poor GTI, and of the trees/bushes behind our townhouse. As you can see, it snowed (didn't I already mention that?). That's OK though, as the CD Rom for my MooTop won't be in until Monday anyway, so I didn't have to be in Akron for anything. The good news is it's supposed to stop snowing tomorrow morning, so I should be able to get out of the house tomorrow sometime.

Why did I not get to bed until 6AM? Why did I get up at 1PM, after flopping around all night (morning) trying to sleep? I need to buy a new bladder as I wake up every 2 hours or so to pee. Nice, yes?

Nothing else is going on. We could put up our Christmas decorations today, but they're over at the storage thing in East Canton, so I guess that's out now isn't it?

OK, I'm off.

Why do I bother trying to clean my glasses? I just wind up making the smear worse than it was prior to my "cleaning" it off. Bah!

It's supposed to snow tonight; this is not good as I'm supposed to get the MooTop's CD Rom repaired tomorrow afternoon. It'll hella piss me off if it snows and I can't get there.

I'm watching Joy Ride for the second night in a row.

I need to take a roadtrip somewhere, anywhere. Snow and winter may suck ass.

Thankfully I only mildly injured myself while moving stuff around last night. Sleep repaired the damage, but I'm sure I'll hurt myself again soon.

It's relatively warm out today, so I think I'll adjust my headlights and replace fuses today. I also need to install a bulb in my driver side turn clicker; that'll put an end to spastic clicker-ness.

I just faxed my resume to a couple of places; someone needs to hire me. Need a computer dork? I'm your girl.

I think I'll finish watching disc 3 of the NYPD Blue Season 2 set. I watched 2 episodes last night before bed; I'll finish it today. But then it's not like I haven't watched the whole set at least 3 times; it's a boring world I live in.

I kind of rearranged my room. Actually all I did was move my bed and bring my laptop upstairs off of the dining room table. I need to find a way to move the air conditioners without giving myself a hernia (can women get hernias?).

I was bored so I've added an "Ask A Question" feature to both my blog and my webpage. Feel free to ask whatever you want; I don't embarass, or offend, easily. I'll answer the question, or questions, as soon as I can.

OK, I'm off to throw my back out completely by trying to move two air conditioners by myself. Won't this be fun?

Yeah, someone's slacking. Too bad...

The GTI scared the shit out of my Thursday night. I was puttering along around 70MPH on 77S right before the Strip, and my car decided to pop out of gear. I was buzzing along fine, then all of a sudden the engine revved up and stopped revving; as if I were at a stop light or something. I immediately pushed the clutch in, then tried to put the gear shifter in neutral; it was already in netural! I slowed down, put him in 4th gear and continued driving along just fine. He seems to be fine now, but it still scared the crap out of me. Yesterday on the way to Jeff's house for Turkey dinner the GTI decided to run like shit. He wouldn't idle for crap, and I had no acceleration. Turns out the distributor cap had water in it, which was causing it to misfire. Jeff is getting the cap, rotor and new plugs so he can change them for me. It's nice to have a useful brother. Plug wires for my car are $250 (Bosch; I won't buy cheap ones)! The cheap ones are over $100. Ah, how I love having a GTI...

On another GTI note, he is now officially named. His name is Gizmo. Here's my rationale: Gizmo is little and cute; my GTI is little and cute. Gizmo has pointy earys; the GTI has a fin that could be considered pointy. Therefore my GTI is now named Gizmo (didn't I just say that?). Either I rock, or I have waaaaaaay to much time on my hands. I think it's a little bit of both.

What else...The Cathedral Buffet on Thanksgiving was hella good as usual. Earnest Angley wasn't there the little freak; I was disappointed. Oh well, the actual buffet never disappoints.

Michael Jackson scares me, and I don't mean that as a compliment. Freak. I do not want any of his Neverland Ranch Dressing, please and thank you.

I called Turtle and left a message on his answering machine about a 3 legged cat with 7 nipples on its head. His new roommate will think Turtle and I are nuts, and his roommate will be correct!

I believe I'm going to the CorningWare outlet in Aurora today to buy the hooch-berry something for Christmas. Mmmmmmm, outlet stores....

I am once again audio blog capable. Expect rambling incoherant posts at 3 or 4 in the morning.

I should probably take a shower or something.

Later.

OK, the fact that I'm listening to "Hurt" performed not by NIN but by JOHNNY CASH should make everyone giggle. The sad thing is, this song is actually good! Radio @Netscape Plus is my new friend. I've listened it maybe 2 hours and I've already heard 2 TON songs. Woohoo!

The GTI is a macking little car. If one more person almost runs into me, or my Mom, while staring at my car I'm going to have to repaint him and make him "normal". That would not be fun. STOP STARING PEOPLE! Sheesh, he's just a VW. I love VW's but lets be honest, it's not a Porsche (OK, in a twisted way he kinda is) or a Ferrari. Staring is not necessary. Although it's not everyday you see a chick in a purple-eared Care Bears beanie driving around in a grey/white VW GTI, so I guess it is OK to stare a little. LOL

The TON show kicked my ass as usual. I didn't stay for Cradle of Filth as Moonspell was more than enough of that type of music for one night. Pete has a Fu-Manchu going on; I don't know if I like it or not, but I guess that doesn't really matter now does it?

Rog wanted me to watch the Browns/Steelers game with him this afternoon, but I didn't get up early enough to go with him to his buddies' house. Wish I would have as the Steelers won! Woohoo!

Perv where are you? Email me punk.

On another GTI note, I so sincerely need to get his struts replaced. Poor little guys' front end bounces around everywhere we go. I feel like I'm in a damn go-kart all of the time. I do, however, enjoy tooling around corners at about 20MPH above the suggested speed. Damn I love good handling vehicles. After so long of driving the BaronBomb I've forgotten how nice it is to be able to take corners at a decent speed. The dumbest things excite me, I know.

I saw two old friends this weekend. On Friday night I saw my friend Susan. She played first chair sax in band; she was a fellow band dork. She always covered my ass during concerts as I would freeze up and totally not play half of the damn song; good thing I didn't pursue a music degree! Susie and I exchanged emails and we've already emailed each other.
On Saturday night I ran into my friend Jaime; she and I were really close when we were in 4th-6th grades then she moved away (please, she moved from East Canton to Louisville~7 whole miles) and we lost touch. I ran into her at BP of all places. We exchanged numbers and will get together soon to catch up on stuff. It's going to be weird hanging out with people I knew in high school. Turtle and Jenny are the only people I still talk to from school; weird how that works out, isn't it?

All in all this weekend was pretty damn good. Woohoo!

I am so my father's daughter. I checked my Mom's oil yesterday before we went buzzing off to nowhere. After I checked her oil I was going to snag some stuff out of the evil LeBaron; gotta get it cleaned out totally prior to it going away. Well, as usual, I forgot to get the stuff out of my LeBaron. Tonight, after she got home from work, I went out to check the oil again. There's my LeBaron key under the hood of her car. My Dad used to do that shit all the time; he'd be checking something on my car and leave the screwdriver under the hood, or the funnel. One time he actually left the empty oil bottle under the hood, and slammed the hood on it. As I said, I am definitely my father's daughter.
Well, at least now I know where my BaronBomb's key is.

OK, that's all.

Woohoo, I have the title for my GTI! I drove down to WV yesterday (Monday) and drove home today (Tuesday). I'm picking him up tomorrow (Wednesday) and getting him legal as well. I guess he needs front end work (struts and stuff), but as long as I don't drive like a maniac I'll be OK for now. The guy who sold him to me may go fuck himself. Good shape my ass; bought a new truck and don't need the car my ass. But I'm not bitter...

I'm home until December 1st! The Type O Negative/Cradle of Filth show is Friday at the Cleveland Agora. I can't wait! The show at the Metropol in Pittsburgh was canceled as the Metropol is closed! That sucks more than anyone even knows; I loooooooooved the Metropol. I'm hitting the Pitt and Detroit shows, even if I have to drive myself to them.

Nothing else is going on.

Nighty!

Today was interesting. We pull up from going Wal-Marting and there's a State Trooper parked on the street in front of the building next door. I don't know what happened, but you've gotta do some shit to have a Statie knocking on your door at 10:30 on a Saturday evening. I do not live in the ghetto, it's a very nice area actually, but some of my neighbors sure are ghetto.

I'm currently reading a book entitled Mad In America; I highly recommend it. It's about the treatment, or mistreatment rather, of the mentally disturbed. Good reads, get it now!

I love Snapple Kiwi Teawi and Snapple Lime Green Tea.

I am a dork.

The GTI will once again live Tuesday afternoon (new battery and new rear brakes). Now if I could only find the title I would be in business. I'm 99% sure the title is in Glenville; what the hell was I thinking taking the GTI title to WV???

I finally got my cell phone straightened out. The Sprint guy in Belden Village gave me an extended life battery and a new desktop charger, for free! Thankfully that seems to have fixed the dying phone problem. My cell phone is once again operational. Woohoo!

Psychotropic drug companies (Eli Lilly and Janssen) are evil.

Call T & T tire so they won't ask me for anymore of your contact info. (You know who you are.)

OK, that's all for now.

Bleh, trying to get my blog to work.

Going to the mall and the Sprint PCS store.

I miss Fluffy.

Apparently people have taken to reading my blog then reporting what they've read to others. Too bad, I refuse to censor myself. That's the point of having a blog/journal; to say what I like. If you don't like what you read, click on the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the browser.

Yes, I have been gone for a while due to my StinkPad dying on me. I have since replaced the StinkPad with a Gateway computer; I broke down and bought a 2.4Gig Celeron MooTop and I love it! I saved $200 by buying the Celeron and it's so much better than the StinkPad was. The stats are as follows: 2.4 Celeron, 512 Ram, 40 Gig HD, 24X DVD/CD-RW drive and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't mean anything to me. I love this computer!!

The GTI should be fixed by Wednesday; woohoo! I'm feeling squirrely about driving him certain places, but oh well. Shit happens, and I'll be so happy to have a dependable car again; I'm not going to know what to do!!

Is anyone else irritated by the MCI Neighborhood commercials? The singer guy sounds like he has a mouthful of shit. Stop trying so damn hard to sound "soulful" and sing like a normal person. It's a long distance commercial for godsakes.

Type O Negative at the Cleveland Odeon on Friday November 21st! Cradle of Filth is closing the show; I've never seen them live but I do enjoy their music so I'll stick around for their show too. Then it's more TON/COF in December; one show in Pittsburgh (not at the Metropol; they closed!) and one show in Detroit. That will rock!

School is pretty much shot to shit due to my inability to get back to WV. I missed one whole week during the Queensryche fiasco in October, and I'm going to wind up missing almost two weeks this time. What's really pissy about it is I had straight A's in all of my classes, and I'm going to pay $6300 (loans) for nothing. Dammit! No point in getting all worried about it though, as it's out of my control.

Halloween turned out to be quite fun. Sherri, Christi, Candi, Sarah, Jess, Angie and I went to the Glenville graveyard to visit Sis Lin and to check things out; mind you this is around 12:30 in the morning and we stayed there until almost 3AM. We were going up the nature trail and I got really weirded out for some reason. Everyone who knows me is aware that I don't scare easily. I hightailed it back to the fountain in the middle of campus; Christi and Jess were waiting there on the rest of us as they didn't want to go on the nature trail with us. They both said I was white as a sheet when I exited the woods, which I totally believe. I saw something in the woods that night that I can't explain.
We went to the Weston Sanitarium on Saturday for a ghost tour. That was cool as hell, and some weird shit happened there too. I'll post some photos and the videos I shot at the Sanitarium into my Yahoo briefcase so everyone can see them as well. Sarah and I enhanced some of the videos and photos and there's some really freaky shit in them. As soon as I remember to email Sarah for them, I'll upload those photos into my briefcase as well.

Tomorrow is Friday! I plan on doing some mall crawling at Belden Village and generally messing around. I need to pay my cell phone bill, and mail out my eBay refunds as well. Two months and the damn post office hasn't contacted me regarding the insurance claims I filed. I have to refund over $400 out of my own pocket even though it's the post office's fault the packages were lost. The PO sucks!!

I am getting rid of the BaronBomb. I can't get legal plates on it as the car is still in my Dad's name and it is still overheating. I just paid $500 to have a new radiator and water pump installed and it still overheats! It's actually worse than it was before I had that work performed. I HATE THAT CAR! Soon I will be Baronless and it will feel nice! My insurance will also drop another $50 a month. I haven't seen $50 a month car insurance for a long, long time. It'll be a nice change from $153 a month insurance. Six of my eight points came off of my license so that helped too (dropped it from $153 to $103/month), but getting the BaronBomb off of my insuarnce policy will be great. This is the smartest thing I've done in a while; too bad I didn't think of it before my Dad plunked $3000 into an engine!

OK, that's enough of an update for today. More later!

Could I have had a worse week ever? I don't think so...

My Mom had Fluffy put to sleep yesterday morning (Saturday morning). He was 2 months shy of his 20th birthday. She didn't even take him to the vet to see if his arthritis could be managed with meds. She just had him put to sleep. I now refer to her as the cat killer. Harsh, but she didn't even see if Fluffy could be helped; she just ran out and had him put to sleep.

I was awake from 10:30AM Thursday to 6AM Saturday. I drove from school to the house, then from the house to the car rental place, then to the car rental place home, then from home to Toledo. I was at the Queensryche concert for one hour as I got there at 10PM, then Toledo Dave and I drove around until 4AM. I fell asleep on the Ohio turnpike around 5:30AM, so I pulled over at the Towpath service plaza and took a half hour nap. I then woke up and drove home through Akron and Fairlawn. I got home around 9AM, and slept until 4PM. Then I went to the Factory of Terror last night, and also to Wal-Mart and K-Mart. I went to sleep at 2AM and woke up this morning at noon. I have a headache and want to smack someone, but it's still nice to be out of Glenville.

I sincerely need to straighten up around the house.

I haven't updated this thing in a week because my new laptop broke. I went to class on Monday and it was fine. I got back to my room around 3PM on Monday, and the monitor wouldn't come on. The computer part worked fine, but the monitor wouldn't work. I called IBM and they sent me a box to facilitate the return of my laptop. I've had this computer almost 2 months and the monitor already went out. I used to think IBM StinkPads were good, but now I'm wondering.

The BaronBomb has been fixed for over a week, but I don't have the $500 to get it out of the shop. Hopefully I'll be able to get it out of the shop this week. I am going to have to drive the GTI to school, which is not something I want to do. Oh well, I have two exams Wednesday that I can't miss, so the GTI is making the trip.

I'll update this thing later on, I'm tired now so I'm stopping.

Woohoo, I won 4 Queensryche tickets for $6, and they're 3 rows from the stage! I can't believe it. Watch the seller not contact me because the tickets didn't go for any amount near what his Buy It Now was set at ($250!). Either that, or I won't get my car back by Friday. That will really piss me off...

3 days until I go home. I'm leaving Wednesday after my Intro to Criminal Justice midterm (probably around 3:30PM), and I'll be back in WV on the 19th (Sunday). I'll be OK once I get my car back because I can drive into Weston when I need something that resembles a real city. It gets really old being stuck in Glenville without a car, and no way to get to the store. I haven't been out of Glenville since the September 14th when I came back from Ohio for my birthday. Someone kill me...

My deer were out again this evening around 7PM. I saw 4 of them this time, and I'm sure there were more that I didn't see. I tried getting a picture of them, but they were too far away for me to get a good photo with my digi cam.

I'm off to shower, then do my homework for Human Sexuality.

Ugh, I spent from Noon to 6PM painting the Dracula set. GSC is performing Dracula at the end of the month, and I was suckered into tagging along for today's work session. I was told it was only going to be a couple hours; a couple wound up being 6! It was nice to get out in the sunshine, but still, it would have been nice to know how long I was going to be there so I could have taken a beverage. Oh well...

I'm off to recover....

OK, it's official. I'M A DORK! I was sitting here emailing Toledo Dave and I happened to glance out the window. There were three deer just hanging out on the hill, eating grass and wagging their little tails. I got all excited and called next door. Sherri looked outside and said there was 8 of them out there! I've seen deer before, but never just looked out the window and there they were. It's a good thing we didn't have deer like this at home; my Dad would have constantly been shooting at the poor things. Maybe Glenville isn't so bad after all...

I totally missed all of my classes today. I woke up at 6:30AM and thought someone had shot me in the tummy. Suffice to say I wanted to die. I felt like that up until 4:30PM when I finally drug my happy ass out of bed for some chicken broth. That seemed to do the trick as I feel fine now. Strange things bellies are...

OK, Sherri and I are going to do laundry. Woohoo!

Class was pretty good today, even our Criminal Justice prof managed to make it interesting. He seems like a really nice guy personally, but his teaching style does need some work. He's a new prof though, so it's understandable.
I can't believe midterms are the 15th! I only have one midterm, in Criminal Justice, so I'm not worried about it. Part of the exam is in take home format! Woohoo!

Queensryche concert the 17th in Toledo. Toledo Dave and I are attending, and I have soundcheck passes plus Toledo Dave works at the Stranahan Theater! Woohoo again!

The Chrysler dealer still has my car! The guy I've been talking to claims they should have the estimate tomorrow morning. 6 days to get an estimate for a radiator and water pump? Goodness!

Here's a list of stuff I'd kill to have:

Care Bear Bookbag


Care Bear Long Sleeved Hoodie T Shirt WITH EARS!!!


Care Bear Hoodie Sweatshirt (Grumpy Bear) WITH EARS!!


Please send them to my school addy. LOL

I was planning on going to bed hella early tonight as I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, but the roommates and their drunken friends insist upon slamming the fucking doors and being loud at 10:30PM. I've never known such inconsiderate people in my life. I've stopped cleaning anything other than what I use ie: bathroom, my dishes and my room. I never use the living room or the kitchen counter therefore I'm not cleaning it anymore. It may be petty, but why clean up after people who don't even appreciate it??? Would you? I thought not...

I'm off to clean my glasses; damn smudge!

By the way, I found the roll of toilet paper I had been using when I first got sick. It was hiding under my bedside table!

Christ, I need a job. I spent the majority of the day SLEEPING. I am soooo bored, you can't even begin to imagine. I'm calling the Dr. office and State Farm tomorrow after class, and I'm begging them for a job.

I've been without a car for almost a week; not fun. I'm calling the Chrysler dealer tomorrow and finding out when I can pick up my car. I found a garage in town who'll fix my car for $375 including the new radiator, water pump, oil change and labor. Woohoo!

I want to go home.

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I was feeling antisocial, so I stayed in my room all day. Woohoo! I did watch one disc of the NYPD Blue Season Two DVD thingie, and I plan on watching another one today.

I'm surrounded by drunken morons. Please help me.

Bye

Holy fuck, the roommates actually turned the heat on!!!!

The LeBaron's water pump and radiator are bad. Neither of the parts are covered under the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. A radiator from Advance Auto Parts is $150 and the water pump is $30. Could this have happened at a worse time? I think not.

Not that anyone cares, but I got a "B" on the Abnormal Exam.

I'm going to hang myself.

Woohoo, I don't have to get up until 7:15AM! I just took my shower so it's sleep in time tomorrow. Riding the Amish van to class is pretty cool! No more of getting up at 6AM so I can leave for class at 7:15AM in order to get a parking spot. I may continue riding the Amish van even after I get the Baron Bomb out of the hospital.

I hate cold weather, did I ever mention that? Actually I don't mind cold weather; snow is what I hate. Well snow and cold temps with wind. And everyone laughed at me for bringing my scarf, hats and gloves this semester. HA!

Off to bed for me...

Why am I listening to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD in OCTOBER? Probably because it SNOWED TODAY in Cuyahoga Falls/Akron. Fuck that!

I'm now leaning towards staying at Glenville until December, then transferring back to Akron U.

OK, I'm finished now.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I updated this thing yesterday. Oh well...

Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I took my first Abnormal Psych exam and I believe I did very well on it. Mr. Jeffrey will give us our scores tomorrow. As long as I do well on that exam I'll still have "A's" in all 4 of my classes. I do have another Intro to Psych exam tomorrow, though, and after I take that I'm not sure I'll still have an "A" in there. Bah!

It's around 45 degrees here and the roommates keep turning the A/C on! Everytime I turn it off they run right over and turn it on. It's going to start snowing in here pretty soon!

I called the Chrysler dealer in Weston today and the guy told me they're looking at the Baron now, and should know something by this evening. If I don't hear from them today I'll call them tomorrow around noon when I get back from classes.

I'm contemplating dropping out and going home. Lets just say I'm tired of freezing, being bored, not having a job and otherwise feeling useless. Plus Halloween has always been my favorite holiday and there are no haunted houses down here. I keep thinking that I shouldn't drop out because I'm doing so well, and I'll still owe for my loans. I dunno, I'll figure something out.

I have to pee and I think my clothes are finished washing.

Bleh.

I just had the LeBaron Bomb towed to the Chrysler dealer in Weston. The service manager was going to try and charge me for the tow, so I called Chrysler directly and they informed him the tow was covered under my warranty, and I did not have to pay for it. Hopefully that didn't piss the guy off too badly; I'd like my car to be fixed this time. I'm tired of dealers, and everyone else, screwing me. Cars are beginning to suck.

So I'm without wheels until God knows when; this is strange. Maybe I'll con someone into driving down and picking me up this weekend, and I'll start driving the GTI. Who needs rear brakes anyway? LOL

OK, I'm off.

Going to class, feel as though I'm going to snag everywhere...

It's almost 2:30AM and I was in bed. I wonder who woke me up at a quarter after two in the morning? It wouldn't be my kind, considerate and mature roommates, now could it??? Fucking cunts.

Thursday was OK. I went to a role-playing meeting and met some pretty interesting people. My Mom called during the meeting to tell me something is wrong with Fluffy. I'm really worried about him; I'm 4 hours away and have no way to get home and see him. This sucks...

On a bit happier note, I got an "A" on my first Human Sexuality test. Right now I have a 4.0 GPA in all of my classes. Who rocks? I DO!

Things have been relatively calm lately, so I'm waiting on something to happen. I know, such a pessimist, but if you lived my life you'd understand why I'm like this!

I'm now addicted to the Starbucks Caramel Mocha frozen slushy thing that is at the snack bar. They're $3.79 each, and sooooooooooo worth it. I love my meal plan with 350 flex dollars!! I've had a bunch of food from the snack bar, and haven't even used $20 of my flex dollars. I think they give discounts or something, because I've had $20 of their cheese sticks alone. I'm a pig...

Roommates are at a volleyball game; woohoo! One day they'll be all nice and quiet, then the next day they're back to their usual inconsiderate selves. I managed to wake all three of them up this morning at 6AM; fuck being all quiet when I get up in the morning. They don't have the same courtesy for me, so they may fuck themselves.

My VW Water Bottle tastes like soap; ick.

OK, I'm off to find mischief.

Later Gators!

Yeah, I guess it is true that you feel worse before you get better. I feel like shit yet again today, worse than yesterday, so I missed all of my classes. I do have an excuse, though, so it won't go against me. That is good...

My birthday blew ass. Thanks to Jess, the Perv and Steph for wishing me a happy birthday. Everyone else may go fuck themselves.

The roommates have a volleyball game tonight at 7PM, which means Lisa is making Kraft sketties around 6:30PM. Woohoo!

I guess I should go on campus to check my mail. Blah.

At least I did get my shoes organized last night, and I managed to cram all of my clothes onto the bar in the closet. Nice. I know, don't bring so much shit.

I'm off.

Happy Fucking Birthday To Me.

Woohoo, I'm starting to feel better. I went to my first two classes, Intro to Psych and Human Sexuality, then went to the campus nurse and the snack bar. I finally got some antibiotics, I've taken two so far, and I'm already starting to feel better. I didn't sleep for shit last night, so I came back from my running around, took my first antibiotic and an hour later I was out. I slept from 11:30AM-5PM with minimal interruptions. I did wake up once because Sarah was playing her music way too fucking loud, but Kenny told her to turn it down because I'm sick and was trying to sleep. I'm sure she loved that. Anyway, I feel better and that rocks.

I only missed 2 questions on my Intro to Psych exam! Woohoo! The Human Sexuality exam was really easy, too. It took me maybe 10 minutes to get through 50 questions. I rock out!!

I'm going to finish watching 8MM, then arrange my shoes.

Later gators.

Lisa's Birthday In One Day (September 23)!!

Ugh, I feel horrible today. It all started around 11PM last night. I got worse and worse as the night progressed, and today I feel really, really bad. Remind me to thank the campus nurse for not giving me antibiotics on Friday; I've been miserable all weekend because of it. I know it's a sinus infection as my face hurts, my ears are clogged and hurting, I'm hacking up red/green/yellow goobers and the roof of my mouth itches. Nice, yes?

I feel confident that I will kill my Human Sexuality exam tomorrow. Woohoo!

I had the T1 connection for all of one fucking day. I went to study next door last night, so I unplugged the StinkPad and carried it next door. When I came back from studying I hooked the StinkPad up to the LAN connection, and it won't connect to anything. Glenville's Technology Office may bite my ass.

I lost the roll of toilet paper I've been carrying with me for my boogery nose. Where the hell is it??

OK, I'm done.

Lisa's Birthday In Two Days (September 23)!!

I'm still not 100% but I do feel better than I did yesterday. It would be nice if the A/C worked so I wouldn't be quite so warm, but when you have morons for roommates these things happen. They froze me, and now I'm roasting because the A/C is frozen up. It was off all night, and when I turned it on about 15 minutes ago it still doesn't work. I guess I'll continue to roast.

On a similar note, Kenny is nice enough, but I'm really tired of him practically living here. The girls had to leave for a game this morning, and Kenny is still here. The nice part about it is I will be able to get away with anything as they won't be able to "snitch" on me for fear of getting busted themselves. I guess there's an upside to everything, isn't there?

I woke up at a quarter til 7 this morning. I've washed and dried my laundry, plus taken a shower and emptied the trash already and it's only 9:30AM. I rock.

I think I'll get something to eat, then watch TV.

Later!

Lisa's Birthday In Three Days (September 23)!!

I am sick. That's the only update you're getting today.

Lisa's Birthday In Four Days (September 23)!!

Well today I did nothing. Woohoo! I did go to the neighbor's apartment for a couple hours. We hung out, looked at Avon books and chatted. It was a nice break from my normal boring days.

Classes tomorrow, then a boring weekend ahead.

I faxed my resume to the local doctor this afternoon. Hopefully his office manager calls tomorrow while I'm in my room. I'll probably stop by on my way back from classes tomorrow morning; I'm finished at 11:30AM. Stopping by as a follow up can't hurt anything, and it will show that I'm very interested in the position. Cross your fingers for me!!

Bleh.

OK, I talked to the Perv for about 3 hours and he gave me perspective on the psycho bitch, amongst many other things I will not get into on here. I'm no longer all pissed off about psycho bitch, but I still think the woman is seriously unbalanced and needs professional care. She was threatening to use her job to make my name "mud". I guess she doesn't realize by emailing me her intentions she provided me with proof positive of what she did, if she does try to make my name "mud". People need to think before they type, or open their mouths. Then that makes me wonder how miserable she must make her family when things don't go her way. Those poor people! Anyway, she's psycho, I have the item to ship out a third time, and I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Anywho, I just finished my Jello cotton candy pudding, and I'm off to bed.

Later Gators.

Lisa's Birthday In Five Days (September 23)!!

Oh my goodness, people are fucking psycho. I sold this woman a pair of boots for her granddaughter over a month ago. I shipped them once, they were returned to me for insufficient postage. That's fine, I reshipped them a second time and they were returned again. She emailed me over 12 times this evening threatening to make my name "mud". This woman is crazy!! She took the time to track down my school schedule, and even made a map to my old address by tracking my info on mapblast or mapquest. She's a fucking nut job, and I've already told my Mom if she calls or shows up at the house to call the police. Fucking nutty people. I'm shipping the damn shoes one more time with Delivery Confirmation, Signature Confirmation and Insurance. If they're returned to me again, she's shit out of luck. She already received a PayPal refund, or at least PayPal has already approved her refund. She's going to wind up with the boots and the money. Nice, yes??

Other than that fucking crazy bitch, nothing went on today. I had my first Intro to Psych test, and it was hella easy. My other classes were pretty run of the mill and nothing to report.

I'm off to mull over nutty people.

Byeeeeeee!

Lisa's Birthday In Six Days (September 23)!!

Well now, I'm stalling around trying to delay returning to school as long as I can. I plan on leaving around 3PM so that means I'll arrive in Glenville around 7PM. Ugh, I'm not looking forward to the drive down there. If I knew my car would make it with no problem I'd be OK. But with driving the Baron Bomb I am not OK with any drives longer than 15 minutes. I really hate that car.

I took thespark.com's bitch test, and I scored 75%! The award is to the left with the rest of my useless links and crap.

OK, I'm off to shower and have birthday cake.

Lisa's Birthday In One Week (September 23)!!

OK, there is something very funky going on with my blog. The entry area is all small, and I can't access any of my settings to try and fix it. Also, the template area is so small it will take me years to find the links area in order to update anything. I hope to have this happy shit fixed soon.

Finally I'm doing my weekend update, when the weekend's over!
I got home around 3:30 Friday afternoon; I left Glenville at 11:45AM. I stopped at the car museum on the way home, though, so I would have arrived home right aroun 3:45PM; 4 hours after I left. Fun, yes?? I picked up my Glenmoor VIP pass from Bob, then came home. Friday afternoon/evening was spent chasing the cat and pissing around the house. I was in bed by 9PM Friday evening.
Saturday morning I got up at noon, and was in Akron around 3PM. I went to Applebee's for my birthday dinner (all you can eat rib tips), then went to the pet store (Petsmart) and the dollar store. I found the cutest socks at the dollar store; they're pink with the Popsicle logo all over them. Woohoo!
Sunday I woke up at 11AM, and was at the Glenmoor show by noon. Stayed at Glenmoor until 2PM, then went to Swenson's for lunch. Came home around 4PM and bitched about my headache until 8PM, then went to bed by 8:30PM. Nice, yes? Finally my headache went away around 1PM today after I took 4 Advil. I believe it was coming home to Fluffy the Cat that caused my headache fiasco. Dammit!!

For any of you who read this entry earlier, I have no idea what that stuff at the bottom of my entry was. The blogger program was acting quite funny earlier this afternoon; it appears I managed to hack into someone else's account without even trying. Yes, I'm just that good!!! LOL

OK, I'm going to finish watching John Carpenter's Vampires, then I'm off to bed. I have a long day tomorrow, back to Glenville I go.

Later.

OK, I just got back from watching the De La Hoya/Mosley fight, and even I can tell something was funky about it. Mosley won, yet he didn't connect on as many punches, nor did he fight as well as De La Hoya. I smell a rat, and it wasn't Mosley's captain's hat wearing trainer guy.

Obviously I made it home in one piece.

Glenmoor show today!

Lisa is tired therefore she is going to drive home and go to bed.

Nighty.

Well now, today was quite interesting I must say. I got out of Intro to Criminal Justice an hour early, and I made new friends. I am a dork.
On the same dorky note, I have my first written homework assignment and I'm excited as all get out. Woohoo!!

The weather actually isn't too bad today. It's warmish, but there's a nice breeze and it's not too humid. Had I not been too lazy to shave my legs, and been able to wear shorts today, I would have been a little cold. Oh well, at least it's not raining or ultra hot.

Since I had over an hour's break in between Abnormal Psych and Criminal Justice, I decided to eat at the cafeteria. I got there right before the lunch crowd came in, and that's the best thing I can say about the experience. The food gave me heartburn immediately upon ingestion, and it's still kicking my ass. Nice, yes? Now I remember why I do not eat at the cafeteria!!

I had to clean up after my roommates again. The trash was overflowing and the sink was getting full of dishes. Everytime they have friends over they leave a big mess that they don't clean up. I'm going to have chat with them this evening regarding their share of the cleaning responsibilities. It wouldn't be quite as bad if they'd at least thank me for cleaning up after them, but I don't even get that much out of them. Bah...

OK, I think I'll do my homework assignment. Heehee!!

Um, OK. I feel fine today thankfully, but now I'm worried about the LeBaron making it to Parkersburg which is only an hour away, let alone making it the whole way home. That car runs more and more crappily every time I drive it. Now when it starts up I smell a really strong exhaust/gas odor. Nice way for a car to run when it has 20,000 miles on it. Piece of shit!!

The roommates have very much warmed up to me. We converse a little bit everyday; this is good.

OK, I have to retrieve my alcohol from my car. We had room inspections today so I had to hide my SKYY Blue in my car. I feel like a 15 year old trying to hide beer from her parents. Goodness!

Byeeeeeeee!

Ugh, I'm dizzy. I finished highlighting all of the stuff I need to study for my four classes. Now I'm dizzy and lightheaded. Whew!

I'm also getting sick thanks to the A/C being jacked up so high. I'll probably be good and crabby by Friday. This sucks.

I'm going to converse with Ben and Jerry, then finish studying.

Woohoo, my laundry is all washed, dried and put away. I have enough washcloths to last me a month, but I only have 7 towels. Darn! At least it keeps me doing laundry once a week.

OK, I'm going to watch some Smits then hit the sack.

Nighty.

Well now, three out of the four washers were finished; the big washer has 10 minutes left. It'll be another hour and a half or so until everything is dried. Isn't this fun? Why do you people read the journal of such a loser? I am 23 years old, on a college campus with a cool-assed apartment and all I can find to do on a Saturday night is laundry. Really now...

I hope the grocery store is open tomorrow as I need more Green Box spaghetti. Yes, I need it. LOL

Alright, I'm going to find something else to occupy my time for 8 more minutes...

I copied CD's to my computer for around 3 hours, then I yapped on the phone for 2 hours and now I'm doing laundry. I'm procrastinating on the whole studying thing, just in case you couldn't figure that out yourself. I do have all of tomorrow to read though, especially since I'm doing my laundry now. Speaking of laundry, I didn't pay a damn bit of attention to what time I got back upstairs from the laundry room. I guess I'll go check my clothes now...

Alrighty then, I've finished with two chapters each in Human Sexuality and Intro to Psych so I'm rewarding myself with some Internet action. LOL

I went on an adventure last night to the huge town of Weston. It's a 45 minute drive to the closest Wal-Mart, but I guess it was worth it. At least I got out of the apartment for 3 hours; that was nice. I found a hot plate for $5!! To celebrate the purchase of my new hot plate, I had Kraft Green Box spaghetti last night. Seriously now, no food has ever tasted as good as that skettie tasted last night. I wouldn't say I'm homesick per se, but I am bored out of my skull. What I miss is having people close by to talk to, and having fast food/malls close by. If I meet people down here I'll be fine; until then I'm bored silly.

I really seriously need to do laundry. I'm down to my last towel and my last pair of Adidas shorts. I stepped outside briefly, and it is cool enough for jeans. Woohoo! Unless you are female you do not understand the pain in the ass that is shaving your legs in a shower with no tub. There's nowhere to prop your leg, and the fucking shower head is sooooooo high on the wall, I can't even adjust it to keep my shaving cream from washing off. These apartments are not short people friendly. I can't reach the top of the fridge, nor can I reach the top shelves in the kitchen. I know, grow some legs...

I'm currently rocking out to Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Will" CD. Talk about post-Psych decompression tunes, that CD is it. I remember when I first bought the CD I was shocked as it's so not like their previous CD's. Sure, some tracks sound like old Fleetwood Mac, but most of the tunes do not. I seriously love this CD, and I like all of their other releases, so I guess they're doing something right!

Yesterday I performed my weekly good deed. On my way to Weston I passed by a lady who's vehicle was broken down on the side of the road. I turned around, and offered to help. She had already phoned a tow truck, so she and I chatted for a few minutes. It turns out she's a Bio student at GSC, and from the looks of her she's a lot older than most students. I did get her name, but of course I forgot it. I suck.

I finally have the T1 connection, but it's not connecting for some reason. I took my laptop to the technology office last night and they checked it out for me. When it's plugged in at the tech office the T1 connection works fine, so it's not my computer or cables that are fucked up. I'm supposed to call the tech office on Monday and ask for one of the network guys so they can fix my in-room connection. Finally, I'll be able to Kazaa again, and I have a ton of photos to upload as well. I refuse to upload, or download, anything on a dial up connection. Bah!

Alright, I'm going to copy a bunch of my CD's onto my computer, then it's back to the books. I only have 40 pages each of Criminal Justice and Abnormal Psych to get through. I'm so glad I'm a fast reader!!

Later!

Six Days Left Until I Go Home For The Weekend!

I'm watching Joy Ride and scaring myself silly.

That's all...

Tales from the freezer...

That should be the new name of my blog as it's freezing in here!! My roommates left at 1PM, then I ran some errands (ie: went to the bookstore and to buy my parking permit) and I came back to the apartment. I immediately turned the A/C off and it's still freezing in here! I've been back for 4 hours and it's still cold. That should give you some idea of what kind of icebox I'm living in.

I am roommate free until late Saturday night. Woohoo!

I cleaned the apartment again as I was tired of looking at the clutter, and I'm tired of the gnats. You see, they leave dirty dishes in the sink, which in turn draw gnats. Everyone who knows me knows of my aversion to bugs, no matter how small the bugs are. I especially hate gnats!! Anyway, the apartment is now sparkling clean and will remain so until they return from Tennessee.

I bought my books today. Freaking expensive assed things. One book alone was $135!! And that's without any CD-Roms or anything. What a fucking rip off. I really should read the first chapters to Intro to Psych, Human Sexuality and Abnormal Psych, but I'm putting that off a bit longer.

Still no T1 Net connection. I'm going to beat the hell out of the technology people if I don't have that connection by tomorrow afternoon. I'm finished with classes at 11:30AM; I better have the T1 connection when I get back from class or some heads are going to roll.

That's it, I need another shirt and some socks. Bah!!

Well now, the roommates talked to me this evening. Here's how it transpired: The roommates have a bunch of guys who come over all the time. Well the guys always come into my room and talk with me as well. One of the guys called me after he left and asked me to tell one of the roommates something. I then explained to him that they don't talk to me therefore I wasn't relaying any messages to them. Along the conversation went, and the guy wound up calling my roommates and gave them hell for not being nice to me. Well, with all that arm twisting, they finally talked to me. I know we will never be "friends", but at least now we may be able to converse in passing. They're not leaving tonight, they're leaving tomorrow (Thursday) at 1PM, and are coming back Saturday night. The two I talked to, Sarah and Amber, both seemed OK. They are in my Psych of Human Sexuality class; they're minors are both Psych. I can't remember what they're majors are, or even if they told me. Oh well...

It's raining again! I swear, it's never going to stop.

OK, I'm going to watch the Cosby Show and then go to bed.

Nighty!

Woohoo, the roommates are leaving today and not coming back until Saturday or Sunday. I repeat, woohoo!!

Classes today all seem interesting, even Intro to Psych. Scary, I know.

I'm off to yap on the phone.

Yeah, things are the same on the roommate front. It's still cold as fuck in the apartment, and they're still not talking to me. If they ever do speak I won't know what to do; do I bow or do I curtsy?

One good thing, I got almost all of the classes I wanted for this semester. I didn't get Contemporary Computer Applications, but I did get another class in that time slot. Here's my Fall 2003 schedule:

Intro to Psych MWF 8AM-8:55AM

Psychology of Human Sexuality MWF 9:15AM-10:10AM

Abnormal Psych MWF 10:30AM-11:25AM

Intro to Criminal Justice MW 1PM-2:20PM

Not too bad, huh?

OK, I'm finished for now...

Well I "met" my roommates. Since they got here around 2PM, I've spoken maybe 25 words to them. None of them bothered to introduce themselves to me, and I have yet to speak to the girl I share the bathroom with. I initiated both converstations with the other two girls. The second girl I talked to seemed to be the nicest of the three, but still, they could have at least said hi especially since they all know each other. It would be nice if we were able to converse, but at least we're not arguing with each other. They have the A/C jacked up higher than fuck, though, so I'm freezing my ass off. Better than roasting to death, I guess.

Tomorrow is registrar, cashier, bookstore day. Won't that be fun? I also need to get a parking permit, and pay the fucking parking ticket I got on Friday. I parked in the housing director's spot as I didn't think he'd be here on Friday evening, and I was moving my stuff in, plus there was a handicrapped spot right next to it. I came out to move my car around 10PM, and I had been ticketed at 9:34PM. It's only $10, but it's the point of the thing. I was moving my stuff into the apartment and I get ticketed. Yet he parked his fat ass in the handicrapped spot and didn't get a ticket. Nice, yes?

I'm doing my first load of laundry in the college laundry facilities, which are in the basement of my building. I have 16 minutes before the washer is finished. Hopefully it doesn't mangle my clothes, then I'll have to hurt someone.

I should have the T1 connection tomorrow; this is good. The photo I have posted to the left is of my building. I'm on the upper right side, well that's actually the living room window. My bedroom is in the back, on the left side of the apartment. It's a hundred times better than a dorm room, but I do wish I could chat with my roommates.

OK, I'm off to sit on my ass.

Well, I'm in Glenville. I arrived around 5:30PM on Friday, so I can't go to the registrar's office until tomorrow at 8AM. My roommates still aren't here. I guess they're volleyball players and they had a tournament in Florida. I'm nervous about meeting them; what if we don't get along? The good thing is, if we don't get along that's OK because they'll never be here with games, practices and class. Still, I hope we can at least tolerate each other.

The cable hook up in the living room doesn't work, so I had to drag my TV back into my room last night. The T1 Net connection isn't hooked up yet either, so I just got online last night via AOL dial up. It's killing me the slowness of the connection. I did take some pictures of the apartment, which will be posted as soon as I get a fast connection.

I think I'm going to make a sandwich and fuck around for a bit.

Later...

It's nice to have at least one person who is a true friend; who will help me when I'm in need. Thank you perv.

I'm disgusted with everyone else, and have nothing to say.

OK, I had one Watermelon Spike and one SKYY Blue and guess who woke up with a headache? I suck. Thankfully some leftover Taco Bell cleared it right up, though. I'll have to secrete the drinks in my room once I get to school as the campus is dry. I am not going to the local tavern for a $3 beer or $3 shot when they don't have any beer I like, or any shots I like. I don't drink "beer", I drink "malt beverages". Beer tastes like wet feet smell, and it's just icky. I can buy a 6-pack of SKYY Blue for $5, or I can pay $18 for the same drinks at a bar, and that's even if the bar has SKYY Blue. You do the math.

I just found out Glenville moved all four of us originally in building 8 room O and put us in building 8 room N. Did the Glenville people have any intentions of letting us know about this little move? I called down there to make sure I still have a room (I do) and to find out about the furnishings. The girl tells me "We have your application right here; we've moved you to a different room." What the fuck? Anyway, the pinhead had no idea how big the room is, but I did find out about the Net, TV, phone and living room furnishings. The T1 Net connection is totally free, as are the phone and cable. The living room has one couch, two chairs, one long coffee table and two smaller end tables. The students have to provide a TV, VCR, DVD and their own phones. We also have to provide trashcans, silverware, dishes and bedding. Duh!! I have enough comforters to blanket the whole fucking building, and I have a whole set of dishes in the basement that I've never used. I need to find some silverware, but we have so much here at home I don't think my Mom will notice that I scammed some out of the silverware drawer. I also need to call my Aunt Donna to find out about the boxes she's supposed to get me. I'm leaving in two days and not a damn thing is packed. I ROCK!!!

Later

Today was interesting enough. I had to run to K-Mart for gauze and Neosporin, and on my way home some drunk guy runs right out in front of my car. I should have hit the drunk bastard, but I just wanted to get home. I couldn't believe it!!! I've been drunk, but never that drunk. Ass!

Speaking of drunkeness, I am drinking a Jack Daniels Watermelon Spike. Ultra hella good, then I have SKYY Blue for later. What a lush...

OK, I'm on the phone now. More later...

Well, it's official. I am not getting enough aid for the Fall semester. I am still going to school, though, and I have no idea how I'm going to buy $600 worth of books. I am going to try calling the Direct Loans people myself, just to see if that financial aid lady is lying, or if they really have changed the loan procedure. I borrowed all of my loans for a semester one time in Akron, and wound up with over $4000 being refunded. Now the aid lady is trying to say the loans can't be disbursed this way? Something is fishy about the whole situation.

October is my target month. We'll get my Dad's pension check in October, and it's for around $30,000. I'll be able to comfortably go to school, but for the next 2 months it's going to be stress city. The check won't come until the end of October, so it's really the next 2 months. I can feel another cold sore coming on from all of the stress. Maybe the WV sniper will get me my first week in WV. That would be a blessing...

OK, if you have time to bid on eBay items, but don't reply to my emails, you may suck my ass. You know who you are...

The Perv is a sweetheart (you know who you are too). Thanks for being a true friend.

I so need to clean my room, clean the townhouse and get my stuff packed. I have no energy to do any of the three, least of all pack my stuff. I've just felt so blah since Sunday; I know it's because I'm worried about everything, but I still can't shake it.

OK, I'm off to have leftovers of Piping Hot Pizza from 2 days ago. It should be good and ripe by now. LOL

Seriously, this computer kicks my ass. Not to brag, but it's sooooo awesome!!! It's nice and fast, plus the screen is pretty big. I've spent most of the night burning CD's. My old computer had a burner too, but it never worked right due to the crappiness of the PC. Woohoo for technology when it works!!

A Beetle commericial is on and it reminded me of a Beetle I saw today. It was a Turbo S Beetle, with the same engine as a Porsche Boxster S. How insane is that??? The guy who had the Beetle was really cool though, and told me all about it. I was seriously jealous...

I asked my Aunt Donna to get me some boxes for my school move. It's been a week since I talked to her and she hasn't called me. She'll show up Friday morning with the fucking boxes as that's what she did when we moved. She knew when we were moving, so she showed up the day of the move. Seriously, my Dad's family are all fucking crackheads.

I am addicted to Snapple's Kiwi Teawi.

I need to get a pillow; the computer is frying my legs.

I played the included Pinball game, and scored over 3 million. Is that good??

OK, this computer is making me sweat it's so hot. I'm off.

I am now back online, obviously!! A new IBM Pentium 4 Thinkpad makes my day!!

School in 4 days. I talked to the loan lady at Glenville today, and she claims I absolutely cannot receive all of my loans at once. I know she's full of shit, though, but I can't tell her that. I will wind up owing GSC $500 because they are splitting my awards. I'm hoping my Dad's pension check will come in October or so, that way I can pay everything off and be happy or something.

I'm stuck using dial up until my Yahoo DSL CD arrives, but it's not too bad. Much better than on my old PC, but then it was a piece of shit.

I need to figure out how to tear the back seat out of the LeBaron. That will be fun.

OK, I'm off.

Byeeeeeeeeee!

OK, it's tomorrow. Anyway, I was watching Halloween 4 on AMC, but it's too edited to enjoy. AMC is better than local channels when it comes to editing movies, but it's still not as good as the original version.

I didn't make it to Dillard's tonight, I was sidelined by Rally's and Border's, but I will make it out there today, Saturday. I have Jess to thank for that little adventure.

I saw a guy at Border's who caused me to burst into hysterical laughter. The guy had on a white suit, with a white ribbed wifebeater underneath, plus he had the total Don Johnson/Miami Vice hair, facial hair and tan thing going on. I followed him around the store while playing the Miami Vice Theme song ringer on my cell phone. I'm an ass.
On a similar note, I saw an Acura Integra of early 90's vintage at Giant Eagle. Not a big deal in and of itself, however, the driver side front tire was snapped clean off. Having experienced that, I understand what the girl was going through, however I did not offer my diagostic services siimply because she looked like a skank, and she was smoking. Besides, the car was drastically lowered so it probably wasn't lowered correctly which caused the problem to begin with. The car was red with white graphics, and a huge assed fin on the back. Come on now, have some restraint people!!

Barberton car show tonight, plus a visit to Dillard's and the new store in Chapel Hill. The new store is another dollar store deal, but it has all kinds of shit and everything is a buck. They have Nescafe Frothe for a buck, plus Banquet frozen dinners 2 for a buck!!! I'm so there...

Alrighty, I think I'm gonna take my skanky ass home now.

Nighty!!!

OK, now I'm at Akron. I went to two stores and spent waaaaaaaay too much money today. I found Hello Kitty stationary, and a Hello Kitty toothbrush set. I also found some other Hello Kitty stuff, and a bunch of charms for my charm bracelet. Woohoo!!!

I was reading Jess' journal and came across the fact that Ralph Lauren now has Ralph shampoo and conditioner!! I am on my way to Dillard's as soon as I'm finished with this post.

I believe I will receive enough aid for everything to work out well. I have emailed the loan lady, and will be crossing my fingers all weekend!!

OK, I'm off!! Sorry, but no more updates until tomorrow night!!!!

Dammit, my home computer is dead. I think it has a virus or something because it keeps saying my hard drive has bad sectors, but then when it goes to try and fix it, my keyboard won't work to enter the commands. Fucking shit!!!! I'm stuck checking email from my cell phone, and only my AOL mail works from my cell phone. I'm stuck using the library computer for now. Ack!!!!

OK, I'm outta here.

OK, not only do the boots Steph sent me kick ass, but they also kicked my ass. I think being 4 sizes too big is a bit much for everyday wear. They're going to become a trophy pair, or to compare it to a car, they're becoming trailer queens. Yes, I just did.

I went shopping, I'll have photos of my new favorite comforter tomorrow. I'm off to bed right now!!

Whee, one day closer to school time!! I talked to Rog today about the serial sniper in WV, and he said I have serious issues. I was telling him how I hope the guy isn't caught prior to my arrival at Glenville, and Rog said I'll wind up being his 4th victim. If I'm going to be murdered, that's how I want to go out; a victim of a serial killer. As Rog said, I have issues...

Steph sent me the most kickass boots for my birthday! Thanks Steph!!!

If anyone knows where I can download the Jackass Theme for a Sprint PCS LG 5350 phone, please email me!!!

I'm off to bed.

OK, my body needs to decide what the hell it's doing. When it's hot out I'm cold, and when it's cold out I'm hot. It's not even 60 degrees right now, and I'm sweating my ass off. I even had to jack the A/C way up. Hopefully the heating/cooling in Pioneer Village is individualy controlled according to room. If not, I have a feeling I'm going to be miserable through no fault of my roommates. It's not their fault my temperature system is all messed up.

I had an especially uneventful day today. I changed my sheets, and washed the clothes I wore this weekend. I also called around to find out prices for my move to Glenville. I have a feeling I'm going to be borrowing a friends' truck, and leaving the GTI here. I guess the worst case scenario is I can leave the GTI here, and drive it back when I come home the weekend of 9/13. All I know is I am not leaving him here the whole time I'm in WV.

I watched my TON "After Dark" video this evening, then I watched "Dirty Harry." They just don't make movies like that anymore; especially the musical score. Dirty Harry has some awesome 70's pimp music!!

I wound up calling the vet office this morning prior to going to the interview. I asked the lady how soon they were going to hire someone, and she said they still have another week of interviews to get through. I then told her I wasn't interested in the position as I was returning to school in less than two weeks. She was very nice about it, and I wished her luck in her search.

I emailed the student housing secretary to inquire about the living room furnishings, and the size of the bedrooms, in Pioneer Village. Of course she never emailed me back. The people at Glenville never return phone calls, or emails. That's the biggest complaint I have about GSC, so I guess that's not too bad. Parking is only $25 a semester, and Akron's parking is $130 yet there's still nowhere to park. Glenville always has enough spaces because so many of the students live on campus, right next to the classrooms. I'll drive when the weather is bad, but otherwise I'll walk to class. It's probably a half mile each way, but it'll be good for me. I'll probably drive every Wednesday, though, as I have class from 8AM to 9:30PM and I'll be butt tired by the time 9:30PM rolls around. Plus being alone in the woods at night scares me; too many serial killer books I guess.

Speaking of serial killers, what's up with the serial sniper in Charleston? I think that's only about an hour from GSC; finally some excitement. I'm glad this started prior to my arrival, or my dear readers may think I was up to no good. I just like reading about serial killers, and I hope to study them one day. I do not, however, hope to become one. : ) I just wanted to clear that up.

I've had this Henry Rollins quote running through my mind all damn day, so I'm going to share it with you, dear readers..."Here's a rowboat, call it a trailer, go fuck your sister." Ahhh, the rage of Hank Rollins. LOL

OK, I need to MapBlast the closest towns to Glenville that may have a mall!!

Nighty!!

I just laid the smack down on an old boyfriend. He was bitching and moaning because his current girlfriend is ignoring him. I simply told him it was payback for all of the times he ignored me to go to his stupid lodge meetings or whatnot. Awww, now he's not IM'ing me anymore. Oh darn. Heehee!!

Not a damn thing went on today. I checked the oil in the Baron and the GTI, then I started the GTI and let him run until he was warmed up. Imagine my glee when I turned him off, and the radiator fan kept running. The dumbest things put a smile on my face. His oil doesn't smell like gas anymore either, so that is good too. I just need to get the rear brakes fixed, then I'll tool around town in style.

Interview tomorrow at 1PM, but I'm really thinking of blowing it off. Odds are they'll call me the last week of August and want me to start work. Um no. I guess I'll go as I'm not doing anything else, but still, I know they're not going to hire me right away.

OK, I'm tired. I think I'll pee then go to bed.

Nighty!

Nothing great went on yesterday; it was a crappy day so there were no car shows or anything. Today it's storming so I guess there won't be any car shows today either. My LeBaron is very close to throwing a tire. Let me explain...I nailed a curb on Thursday at Long John Silver's. The Baron had been pulling to the right to begin with, but now it's really pulling to the right. I need struts, brakes, calipers and rotors at all four tires and I need another A-Arm for the driver side front. I hate that car. My GTI needs rear brakes including calipers and rotors to make him road safe. I need to win the lottery! Not even a huge amount; $5,000 would come in quite handy right now. Agh!!!

I'm off to rummage up some food and turn off the computer before it gets struck by lightning.

Later!

Ack, guess who was "let go" yesterday? We had a test covering all of the systems we learned the first 3 days. All 6 of us trainees took it, and 4 of us failed it. All 4 of us were "let go." The trainer told us it wasn't any big deal, not to worry about it and it was used to gauge what she needed to go over more thoroughly. Well now, I guess that was a line of shit. The two who passed it were the two people who've already done collections for at least a year. Oh well, I was just going to quit next Friday anyway. I do get paid for Monda-Thursday so that's good at least.
I have an interview at a vet's office on Monday at 1PM. Hopefully she'll hire me on the spot, and have me start the next day or something. Most likely she'll fuck around, though, and call me the day before I leave for school. People piss me off, A LOT!!

My area wasn't affected by the huge power outage, but I guess North Canton and Alliance were. Some of Akron now has power, and some doesn't. It'll be interesting tonight to cruise around the areas that don't have power, but it'll probably be eerie tonight as well. Oh well, it's those damn Canadians' fault!!!

Nothing else is going on.

Later!

Blah, blah, blah.

Work was work today, and thankfully it moved much faster than the first two days. I listened to a few collections calls, and the actual collections part isn't bad at all. The only part that sucks is all of the damn screens you have to use, and the stupid codes. I'm sooooo glad I'm not going to have to keep that job! A kennel I applied to 3 weeks ago called me today. I'm supposed to called back between noon and 4 tomorrow (Thursday) to talk to the lady. How much would it rock if I could work there my last week in Ohio? I love animals, so that would be a fun job. I need to get a Glenville area phone book, and call about jobs prior to arriving. I can fax/email my resumes earlier than most students and get a jump on the job market.

I had Long John Silver's for lunch/dinner tonight, and it rocked. I drive right past LJS on my way home, so it's only natural that I'd stop there. : )~

The 77N ramp off of 30W is now closed for 2 years. WTF?? Now I have to go 30W to 77S to the Cleveland AVE/RT 800 Exit, then take that to 77N. Seriously, the Canton civil engineers need to stop trying to think. Bah!!

I'm off to bed. Only two days of work left until the weekend!!!!

Nighty!

Finally, Blogger is working again! I tried updating last night, but Blogger wouldn't post or save my entry. Oh well, it's working again and that's all that matters.

Second day of training is down. I know of at least 2 people who won't be continuing past the 2 week training period, myself included. This place is cool as far as dress code and pay, but the programs you have to learn (4) and the way you have to flip back and forth is a bit much to learn in two weeks. We are sitting with collectors tomorrow for around an hour, so that'll give all of us a chance to see how to use these applications in real time situations. These two weeks will be the easiest $1,000 I've ever made, so I can't complain...too much. LOL I just keep thinking to myself, less than two weeks to go. I may work the first day or two of the third week, just to have a couple extra bucks for my first week at Glenville, but it's nice to know I don't have to. I have an appointment to get my hair cut and colored on August 29th, so we know I'm not working that day!!

No word from Glenville on my financial aid package. I'm hoping to get that within the next couple days. With my luck, though, I'll get my award letter on the 28th when I have to leave for school on the 30th or 31st. Like I said before, I don't care how much it's for as I AM going back to school this semster.

I feel like I'm getting a cold or something, and I've felt like this since Sunday evening. Probably because I haven't had any Zyrtec since Friday and the mold and crap is really high right now. I may want to refill my prescription, you think?? For some reason my joints are really bothering me too, especially my right knee and ankle. I've said it before and I'll say it again, getting old sucks!!

I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's training class as I get to sit in on real collection calls. This should make for an entertaining day, or at least an entertaining hour!

Off to bed...

Mmmmmm, alright. My first day of work is over. Honestly I didn't do anything today, but it still wore me out. You sit at a desk for 8 hours, doing nothing, then let me know how worn out you are. I know there are much worse jobs, and much more physical jobs, but sitting can make you tired too. I'm the only new person there with any sense of the computer, so it's like PC101 for now. I guess we're going to try to get on the phones next Wednesday the 20th, but with the way things are progressing I don't think we will. For every half hour we learn stuff, we have an hour's discussion on nothing. My kind of training!! There's 6 of us, and only 1 guy. We range in age from 50-20, and only half of us have collections experience. Everyone so far is very nice, and that's a big plus!! We got out early today because our trainer didn't want to start a new section then have to stop halfway through it. Woohoo! I'm home in time to watch Knight Rider, and you know that's where I'm off to now!!

Less than three weeks until I go back to school!!!

Later!!

OK, the new next door neighboor is weird. I've noticed a few weird things about her:
1.) She has 6 kids, with no Dad around and all of the kids look younger than the age of 6. Nice.
2.) All of the girls wear dresses all the time. Like nice dresses, dresses they'd wear to a wedding or church (we're talking about little girls here). The boys wear regular kid clothes.
3.) The Mom walks around in hospital scrubs all the time, and walks with her head down, all the time. It's like she's trying to hide something.
4.) The kids are outside rarely, and when they are it's for 15-20 minutes only.
5.) They are noisy as fuck!!

OK, so maybe my observations aren't shit, but I still say something funky is going on next door. I'm so glad I'm outta here in 3 weeks!!

Speaking of being out of here, I have set up a donation thingie through PayPal. Now I do not expect anyone to send me any money, especially my faithful readers, but I figured I'd set it up anyway just in case someone is dying to send me a billion dollars. I've name the fund "Help Send Lisa To College" which I think is an applicable title. Actually it's the "Help Lisa Get Her Crap, GTI and LeBaron To School" fund, but that's OK. I'm going to have to rent a U-Haul big enough for all of my crap plus my GTI, and I'll have to rent one of the little trailers for my LeBaron. Notice how the GTI will be inside the U-Haul, and the Baron is stuck on the back. It's not going to be fun, or cheap. Anyway, I don't expect any donations I set it up more for fun. I've seen some blogs where people actually have to pay to read the entries! I think that's not only ridiculous, but very pompous of the blogger. Who are they to think people would actually pay to read their blog??? I keep this blog as a form of therapy, and I feel I should be paying all of you, my constant readers!! Anyway, many thanks to any of you who do donate. The link is over to the left.

Here's something interesting that happened last (Saturday) night. Brian and I were buzzing down Graham Road in the Falls, and this guy suddenly decides he's going to turn right in front of us. If this guy would have actually hit us in the Quaalude (Honda Prelude) there would have been some shit go down. Had we been in the Baron I would have swerved to help the guy hit us. He was obviously high or drunk, and when Brian and I gave him the finger and called him a fucking something or other, the guy actually had the nerve to yell at US!! Excuse us for minding our own business and then getting upset when someone almost creams us and the Quaalude. People never cease to amaze me.

Along that same line, here's another story...
I bought an item on eBay about 2 months ago. I purchased a postal money order as payment because my PayPal account was screwed up. I mailed the payment. The seller still hasn't received it, and I told her it must have been lost in the mail as a lot of my shit gets misdirected. She then calls her local PO and files a complaint telling the postmaster that I said someone was stealing my mail!!! I never told that cunt anyone was stealing my mail. Now she has the postal service crawling all over my local PO's ass because she told them I said people were stealing shit. Now yes, a lot of my mail gets lost or delayed, but I've never said anyone was stealing it. I have to put up with all kinds of shit now due to that dumb bitch not paying any attention to what was being said to her. She also told her postmaster that I had sent two money orders, when I told her I wasn't sending another payment until I could trace the first one. Well I managed to lose the fucking MO receipt, so I just sent payment again via PayPal so I'd have proof it was sent. I repeat, dumb cunts make my life miserable.

Speaking of being miserable, I've had more cold sores this past year and a half than I've had since I was 16. I get maybe one cold sore a year, tops. Well I've had 5 in the past 6 months and I know it's due to stress. This last one popped up halfway through the TON concert on Tuesday, probably because I was worried about doing a good job with the Street Team stuff, and I was worried about everything not going well. Hanging out with the guys was hella fun, and made that cold sore worth it!! I can't wait to get to Glenville so I can have a nice vacation. Yes, I consider school to be a vacation. I like to learn, and the classes should all be pretty easy, plus all of my utilites are paid including phone and a T1 Net connection!! Woohoo! I just need enough money for tuition, and a new PC. Actual college fees are $6,000 and I can get a nice Dell PC for $500. Like I said, over $7,000 in aid is my target, but I've always had bad aim. LOL

OK, I'm off to do something useless.

OK, so far today has sucked. I finally fell back asleep around 9:30AM and got up at noon. I woke up all phelgmy and gross feeling. Now it's 10 till 3 and I'm supposed to leave in 10 minutes for Akron. Only problem is I haven't even got in the shower yet. I'm going to be late to my own funeral.

Bleh.

Oh ack. The new end neighbor's kids woke me up at 6:45AM. Thankfully I'm only going to be here 3 more weeks. Woohoo!

Last night Steph had a taste of what it's like to live in Ohio. Her house wound up flooding (no relation to the weather) and there was a tornado! Remind me not to move to Palm Beach.

Today is hopefully going to be a good day. I'm gonna try to get a little more sleep as today is going to be busy. Damn kids!!!

I just downloaded the GSC course listing for Fall 2003 semster. Now I get to try and plan my schedule to allow maximum work/study/fuck around time. I'm trying to get classes on 2 days a week, but I know I'm in a dream land if I think that's going to work out. I'm trying for Mondays and Wednesdays only. It'll make for busy days, but I'll have a lot of down time too. Plus, maybe I can find a fun job while I'm down there. Extra money would rock, and unless I get over $7,000 in financial aid, I'm going to need a job before the semster is over. I know I qualify for both subsidized and unsubsidized federal loans, and I got the Perkins loan when I went to Glenville the last time. I'm an independent student (I was the last time I went to GSC), and the fact that I've been unemployed for 2 freaking months will probably help my aid situation. Anyway, I'm off to finangle my Fall schedule.
