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.

Alright, here's the set list from the Cincinnati Type O Negative Show on Tuesday, August 5.

I Know You're Fucking Someone Else
Wolf Moon
Anesthesia
Black Sabbath Intro
Christian Woman
Love You To Death
World Coming Down
Kill All The White People
Prelude To Agony
My Girlfriend's Girlfriend
I Don't Wanna Be Me
Black #1

Bleh. I was watching Warlock on Sci-Fi, but they edited it waaaay too much for it to be enjoyable. I'll just watch it tomorrow on VHS.

I need to call Glenville again and find out what's going on with my Fall schedule, and if I can have both of my cars on campus. As usual, no one at Glenville knows how to return a phone call. Asses.

Start my new job in 4 days!!! Woohoo!

OK, I'm off.

OK, the show last night blew my ass. The actual performance rocked out as usual, but the rest of the experience sucked. I arrived at the venue about 5:45PM, yet I didn't get in until close to 7PM! The show started at 8PM, so I had about 10 minutes prior after getting in until the doors opened. Nice, yes? The will call woman was a cunt. Everyone from the band (Tom, Richard and the drum tech) were excellently nice. However, I didn't get to meet the band via the Street Team. I met the guys by being in the back of the venue at the right time. Wouldn't you know I didn't have my goddamn camera when I was around back! I talked with all four guys, and Johnny had on a MOPAR shirt I would have killed for. All were in jolly moods, and Pete was his normal sarcastic self. The coolest thing was when I asked Pete to chat he said he had to take a massive shit, but he would be back in 15 or 20 minutes. True to his word, he did come back. How rockin is that???? The Street Team thing is a bunch of shit. I never received my promo materials for the before and after show handouts (CD's, stickers and posters to put up in the venue), and the guestlist stuff is shit too. I could have used my $5 ticket and got right in. But instead I waited around outside because the bands' guestlist wasn't at the will call window, or at least that's what the cunt said. I think she was full of shit and just trying to ruin my evening. I'm going to try one more time at the September 13 show in Huntington, WV. I'll be in WV for school, so I may as well try the Street Team shit once more. All of the hassle was worth it though, as the boys played Anesthesia!!!! I got all emotional and shit; I even teared up. I'm a dork.

OK, I'm gonna go for now. I'll have more detail and such later on this evening.

Byeeeeee!

OK, I've chosen the shoes. The same boots I wore to my first TON show in '99. Woohoo!

Need to get ready. It's 11:30AM and I still haven't picked up the rental car. Bah!

All the details tomorrow!

I uploaded the bald patch photo. www.thelawnbunny.com/images/BaldPatch.jpg There you go.

I am one excited dork. I received my housing assignment for Fall semester at Glenville, and I got a room in Pioneer Village!! Kick ass! There's a link on the left to the Pioneer Village info page; check it out!!! Even better, I don't have to attend stupid orientation so I can work longer. I can't move in until August 31st, which is fine with me!!!

The training hours for my new job are 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday for 2 weeks. That kicks ass!

OK, gotta get ready to leave. Byeeeee!

Why oh why did I wake up at 6:30AM? I didn't go to sleep until 3AM, and I'm wide awake at 6:30AM? Figure that one out for me!

Tomorrow is the day; Type O in Cincy day! I'm so nervous I could puke. I have no idea what to expect, and thankfully some guy emailed me to introduce himself. Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers; maybe he can give me some insight as to what's expected of me, and what to expect, tomorrow. I know, it's just concert Lisa. Well it's not just a concert to me as this is my one chance to prove myself to the Street Team powers that be. I was a lowly loser on the eTeam and got the chance to take a stab at a Street Team task. This is big, and I'm hella excited. I can remember thinking that I'd never meet the band; that I'd never get to see them in concert. Well here it is 10-12 years later and I've met all of the guys multiple times, and now I'm helping promote them? What more could I ask for? Yes, I've been listening to TON since I was 11! I've been boring people with my TON related diatribe since 91; see it's not just you wonderful Internet folks who have to put up with me babbling on about them. : )~

I need to plan my outfit and footwear accordingly as tomorrow is going to be a long day. I plan on leaving by 11AM, and it's at least a 4 hour drive, probably closer to 5 hours with the Ohio state flower (orange road construction cones) being in full effect. Then I am driving back tomorrow as well; the hotel idea has been nixed due to my poor ass. I am renting a car though, a shitty Cavalier. This should be fun. I don't trust the LeBaron (obviously) and I'm not driving the GTI that far without knowing the road conditions in advance. I could just imagine how crippled I'd be after riding in that car for 4 hours. I've been seriously thinking about raising him at least an inch, and possibly taking him back to his original ride height. If I bought stiffer springs I'd still have that nice road feel, just my butt, and tailbone, would be spared a bit.

I start my new job one week from today, so this is good. I told the lady at the interview if I got that position I wouldn't be able to work August 5 or 6 as I was going out of town for a concert, and there was no way I was missing it. She was cool about it and that was when I first found out the job didn't begin until August 11. I figure you only live once so I'm going to stop worrying about work and shit. The only thing I want from life is to have my two Ph.D's someday. Is that too much to ask? I didn't think so.

Alrighty, I'm feeling tired again so I'm going to try that sleep thing once more.

I'm finally posting the set list from the Type O Negative show on July 31 at the Cleveland, Ohio Odeon.

I Know You're Fucking Someone Else

World Coming Down
Kill At The White People

There you go!

OK, the Galleria in Cleveland sucks ass! The only good thing is a store I found with an assload of Docs in Steph's size. She is happy, but they had nothing for me. Grrrrrrrr. Oh well, at least Steph's getting some cool Docs at a great price!

Woohoo, Type O in Cincy on Tuesday. I'm sooooo excited!!

I really need to upload all of my new Sanuk photos. I'm being lazy, I guess.

I think I'll hit Target today and see if they have the Dove face stuff yet. I got a dollar off coupon, so maybe I'll buy the toner and the moisturizer. My face is greasy enough, though, so I don't really need moisturizer. Nice, I know.

OK, gonna go.

Happy 6th Birthday Andrew!!

The show was great!!! We got to the Odeon at about 6:50PM, and the doors didn't open until around 7:30PM. We got in, bought three shirts (at $25 each) and went upstairs. I am way too old to put up with moshing and all of that other crap, so it's upstairs for me. Anyway, we grabbed seats in the uppermost tier of the venue, right beside the potties! I ordered up a Bacardi Silver (quite tasty), and settled in for the show. The opening act was Lacuna Coil, and they were actually really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I believe they played 6 songs, from 8:05-9PM. Type O came onstage at 8:59 and rocked out until about 10:45. I was at Rally's in Akron by 11:45!!! I got home around 2:15, washed my hair (icky cigarettes) and went to bed. I have the setlist that I'll post later this evening. I am sooooo excited for the Cincy show!!!! I have plans to throw shit at Johnny, and to make off with Pete's scrubs. Woohoo!

Now I have to figure out what to get Andrew for his birthday. The party starts at 6, so I need to make up my damn mind.

All of the paperwork is completed for my new job. I start August 11, and receive 2 weeks of training. I'll work in the 10-29 day accounts to begin with, then I can move up if I feel comfortable taking on longer delinquencies (and the mean, bitchy people they'll bring with them). I think I'll do best in the 10-29 day area, though.

Ribs Burn Off tonight after Andrew's party. I may go tomorrow night as well as I'd like to see Quiet Riot, especially because of a story from Mark the Perv. I swear, that guy...

OK, I'm off to round up some grub. It's almost 3PM and Lisa hasn't eaten yet.
