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.
