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!
