I knew it. My Mom and I went to Jeff's house for Christmas, and both of us are sick. I got sick Tuesday, and she got sick yesterday. I get to take my happy ass to Aultman's Immediate Care when Morgan gets home so I can get something for yet another sinus infection. I would just go to my primary care doctor, but they're out of the office and I can't let this go any longer. I'm blowing out green boogies, and that can't be good. Yummy.
The first week of our 2 week school hiatus is over. We go back on the 9th of January, and I'm not very excited about it. We have Comp 2 in January, which will cause me to put my eye out repeatedly.
Hmmm, what else...
Christmas presents, everyone always wants to know about Christmas presents. Anyway, I got the tangerine Dooney It Bag, a blue topaz pendant, a steering wheel cover for the Birdy, a 1980 Firebird model, CD holder, the Without A Trace season 1 DVD set, a laptop cooler (it works, too,) a cute sweatshirt, two glycerin soaps, pyrex blue bakeware, pyrex clear bakeware, pyrex baking sheets, a mixer, Tutti Dolce Creme Brulee body wash and a $50 gift card (for me and Morgan from Jeff.) With the gift card I bought a coffee pot (for tea, I hate coffee,) a blender, a Mr. Clean Magic Reach thing, filters for the coffee (tea) pot, a bra (hey, I needed a new one,) and something else that I can't remember. There, doesn't everyone feel better now?
Our new upstairs neighbor is actually nice, and considerate!! How refreshing.
That's enough of an update for now.
That is all.

Catchy Title Here
Santa's back must hurt pretty badly by this point. He came early to our apartment, as evidenced by this photo.
From this photo, can you tell that's Morgan's Dad on the left? Don't they look eerily the same?
Camaros without seats look creepy.
Surprisingly I didn't have to wait in line to pick up the turkey today, nor did we have to wait in line at the grocery store. Most places didn't look that busy while we were out around 2:30 this afternoon. Weird...
Guess I'm going to bed. Happy Pine Tree Day.

I Sneeze On You
I so want one of these but since they're $295, and not covered by insurance, I guess that's out of the question. A 3D/4D ultrasound would be so nifty.
Gah, I was going to write a lot more but I'm tuckered out.

So New-Age
Yeah, it's being done.
Must get ready for school. I was super energetic today, so I cleaned out the fridge (includes washing everything,) got caught up on all of my schoolwork and vacuumed. After school tonight, well after the first break (7PM) since that's when we always leave, we are running to Summit Racing and picking up Morgan's Dad's Christmas present. Some TPI air foil thingie. We're going to get one for the new RS too, but not tonight.
Blah.

Quick Update
This won't be a long update since I have tons of schoolwork to complete. I did want to post a photo of my new license plate (TruckBird.)
Heehee
Pooper was taken, and I thought Poopr wouldn't be as cool. Besides, I plan on painting my car black in the spring.
Is it Thursday yet? We're finished with Comp 1 on Thursday, then we're on vacation until January 9th. The downside is our class for January is Comp 2. Bah.

Gir
I have a horrible headache. Gah.
I got my purse today from the Morgie. I decided the Coach one wasn't me, so I returned it. I looooooove the Dooney; there's a photo in my MoBlog.
Going to Mansfield tomorrow, then to Barb and Kanan's, so I won't be online until Sunday evening sometime.
There's something wrong with TruckBird. He keeps stalling, chugging and generally running like shit some of the time. We're replacing the ECM, and hopefully that'll fix him. On the upside, he doesn't have that funky smell anymore. My Mom's car has gone retarded as well. It's making clunking noises in the engine, thumping in the front suspension and her tranny is screwed up. And it's an 01 Monte with 45K miles. Niiiiiiiiice. At least she has a warranty on her car.

Heehee
I bring you our new toaster. The best part is I bought the toaster in the store and it was only $15! Woo!
Gah, winter storm warning for tomorrow from 6AM-3PM. The joys of Ohio in the winter.
My follow-up at Dr. Jag's was fine. I go back for another check-up on Janaury 18th.
Must eat.

Grounded
Uh oh, we're in trouble. Both Morgan and I received notes in our mailboxes at school today. We have to see the head of general education because we both received a midterm in english. That could be because he's not turned in anything, and I'm missing a bunch of assignments as well. We can't bring outselves to stay the entire class, and are usually gone by the second break (8PM.) The teacher gave us both lists of assignments we need to hand in, and told me I'll have an A as long as the rest of my work is the same as my first paper. I told her I'm not worried about the papers, since I scored a perfect on the english portion of the ACT, and english has always been an easy subject for me. She laughed and said I would be fine then, since even she didn't get a perfect on the english portion.
I'm sleeping on the floor in the living room tonight. It can't be any worse than the bed, as far as my back goes.
Blah, I think I'll have some more grape Kool-Aid.

Not So Productive
What have I done today? Other than sleep, not very much. I was in bed listening to Morgan snore (not actually sleeping) until 2:30 this afternoon. Then I got out of bed, sent my Secret Santa person their gift from Amazon, ate and came back to bed at 4:30PM. I just got up about 5 minutes ago. I rule.
Really there's not shit going on.

Gah
Morgan and I went to Warren, OH today (close to Sharon, PA) to pick up a shifter we won on eBay. We also wound up getting the lower air dam for the Camaro. For $10!! Woooo! The downside is I have the damned air dam (heehee) in my dining room.
Don't Believe Me?
I made dinner, ate dinner and now I'm ready for a nap.

People Suck
This is going to be a post full of bitching, yay!!!
First of all, what's up with people not replying to email? I understand if they're busy, but this was an email in support of another person, disclosing personal issues in an effort to encourage this other person. Did I receive any reply whatsoever? Nope. Maybe there are reasons why this person only has superficial happiness, and will probably never have what he/she truly desires in life. That's as far as I'm going to take that rant.
Secondly, I was coming out of school last night and, as usual, the smokers were crowded right in the middle of the walkway. Well, I'm getting bigger and I had a bookbag bump as well. I excused myself, I always do, and these bitches didn't budge and inch. I proceeded to walk through them, and bumped one cunt with my bookbag. She proceeds to get snippy with an "excuse you." Oh, fuck no. Mouth was engaged prior to brain when I shot back with "Bitch, I did excuse myself. Learn to listen." The mouthy broad had nothing to say in reply. That's what I thought, cunt.
Starbuck's Mint Hot Chocolate is like crack. Good crack, but crack nonetheless.
Someone in this apartment building is smoking skunk ass in the hallways. The entire building smells like skunk, and it isn't fun. Then there is the older woman upstairs (part of the shitty neighbors duo) who goes to the front door, opens it, then sticks just her hand outside while she puffs away. Yeah, like it doesn't come right back in the building. That's what I want to smell, and walk through, when I leave/enter the building.
The parking lot wasn't plowed at all yet again. The landlord is creepy, and useless as well. He's also fucking sneaky. I scared the fuck out of him the last time he was here for "maintenance" issues (to change the furnace filter.) He didn't think anyone was home, and I was standing right behind the door when he walked in. The look on his face rocked ass. One of his little cronies was poking around in another tenant's car last week. Like, actually got in this person's car and was poking around. Additionally, Morgan and I are the only people in our building who don't have a criminal record, haven't went bankrupt, haven't lost our house to foreclosure, don't have judgement liens and/or haven't been evicted. I know what you're thinking...Morgan and I live in the ghetto. Where we live is very nice, and an upscale neighborhood (the street behind ours is full of $250K and up houses.) Our apartment is nice, if it weren't for our shitty upstairs neighbors, and the new windows that were obviously not installed properly (we have lovely drafts whenever the wind blows.) We have all of the amenities, with the exception of a washer/dryer in the our apartment. We have central air, a dishwasher, new carpet, nice appliances, etc. It's the management that sucks donkey balls. I've complained about the upstairs neighbors at least 3 times, then I saw it did no good so I stopped complaining. The girl on the 3rd floor (diagonal from the shitty upstairs neighbors) called the cops on them 2 weeks ago. I guess they were screaming at each other from 1AM-2AM. Remember, the woman is 55 and the guy is at least 60. They are waaaaaaaay old enough to behave themselves. With that many problems with them, why are they still living here? It's obviously not just me being a cunt about them being noisy as fuck; other tenants have problems with them too. I can't wait until August when Morgan and I can move. I found the perfect apartments, and they're cheap when all of the extras are taken into consideration. Not to mention the building is fucking awesome. Hopefully one will be open in June, July or August.
What else can I bitch about??? Oh, my car smells funny. Ever since I had the exhaust replaced a couple weeks ago, I've noticed a funky smell coming from TruckBird. I know sometimes when an exhaust is replaced there will be a weird smell if anything has to burn off of the muffler or whatever. But this is a very weird smell, that I can't describe. If it continues into Monday I'll take TruckBird to the doctor and see what's going on.
Speaking of doctors, I have my ultrasound on Tuesday at 7:15PM, then a follow-up with the gyno on Wednesday afternoon. I also have an appointment Wednesday morning with my primary care doctor to get back on my thyroid pill, Synthroid. I guess it's really important for me to be on that while pregnant. I'm kind of worried because I've only gained 5 pounds so far, and when I take into consideration the 10 pounds I lost the first 2.5 months cause I was so sick, I still have a net loss of 5 pounds. The ultrasound I had showed a lot of activity, and the three times I've heard the heartbeat it was normal. I think I feel the little turd moving around, too, but I'm not sure yet. It's not gas, and it's always in the same place when I'm either laying down, or if I've been sitting for a while. I'll feel better after Tuesday when I have a new ultrasound done at my "real" doctor's office.
All right, I believe I'm finished.

Dimebag Memorial Page
That is all.
Mmmm, All Right
OK, then. I guess I'll attempt a "real" update for all you whiners out there...
First of all, we've added another goldfish to our bed. My goldfish is still the pimp, even though Morgan's is bright and new.
I've inquired about adopting George, the awesome guinea pig. I hope I can wind up adopting him.
I missed the last two days of class (Monday and Tuesday) due to general feelings of ickiness. I can't miss anymore days this month, so I have to at least make it in there to sign the attendance sheet. Tomorrow we have a quiz, and our first paper is due, yay. Composition 1 is evil.
Nothing new is going on at the apartment. We finally received the garage key so the new RS is all snug in the garage, while TruckBird and Blackie are out in the elements. TruckBird revolted the first couple cold days (Thanksgiving Day) by telling me to go fuck myself. How did he do that? His new (3 months old) alternator died. I returned it and got a new one; TruckBird is fine now. He didn't leave me stranded, though, so that's good. His new exhaust is nice, and I'll get an ECM in the next week or so. It would be nice if I had heat from the vents and not just the defrost setting. It takes forever for the car to get warm through the defrost setting, but we can't figure out why I don't have vent heat. Obviously it's a vacuum leak somewhere, but damned if we can find it.
9 goddamn degrees outside, and now we have a winter storm watch from Thursday night into Friday morning. How fabulous.
I need to mail more Christmas cards.
This post is going nowhere fast; there you have an update.

Christmas Presents
It seems as though I've received an early Christmas present of heartburn and poopy stomach. Is that an overshare?
In other news, Morgan blessed me with two Christmas presents:
In TANGERINE (it's soooooo cute)
He also got me the Coach Slim Hobo in blue from the Fall 2005 Limited Collection, style FS 4430. Once I'm allowed to open the presents I'll get photos of both bags. Yay me!
Now I get to try and figure out where I made a $14 error in my checkbook; I hate not knowing how much money I really have. Grrrrrr.
That is all.
UPDATE-I found a photo of the Dooney bag!

Creepy Bastards
All of a sudden, I'm surrounded by creepy men. The landlord is creepy, there was a creepy man at the laundromat last night and there's a creepy guy on eBay who won't stop emailing me. Gah, creepy men suck.
It's snowing again. Snow can eat it big time.
I really don't have much to say, I guess.

Dribble
Interesting tidbit before I forget. Barb and Kanan finally bought a TV. Should I say Kanan finally bought a TV; Barb's been nagging him for months and he finally made the plunge. Suffice to say, with the TV and DVD player combined, they spent the same as we paid for Morgan's new RS. For a TV and DVD player. Yeah, that's pretty fucking scary.
We're going to the laundromat; this'll be fun.

Black Friday
Heh, yeah, I went shopping this morning (5AM) because I'm a moron. I was trying to score a Toshiba Satellite laptop for $200 at Circuit City, but to no avail.
Anyway, Circuit City was crazy fucking busy, and there was around 50 people in line for the $200 laptop. There were 15 guaranteed to each store, but I'm sure there wasn't more than 20 or so at the Canton store, so I gave up and proceeded to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart wasn't busy at all, and there were tons of associates everywhere. I then ventured to K-Mart where again there wasn't a huge crowd and I didn't have to stand in line for any time at all. All-in-all it was pretty uneventful, except for when I had to crawl in through Blackie's* hatch because his door locks were frozen. Yeah, that was fun.
(*Blackie is now the 91 RS V6's nickname.)
I got Morgan this for Christmas, and of course he's using it now. I'm so nice.
Oh, Morgan bought a car. Now you see why I need to give the cars nicknames. My Firebird is Truckbird, the black RS is Blackie and the new RS is the "new" car. The red one is a 91 RS with a V8, 88K original miles and it's a Texas car so there's no rust. It has some ricey stripes, but we're taking those off as soon as it gets warmer. Oh, and the stupid B&M Megashifter is getting yanked out too.
I should go to bed since I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, and I need to have my bloodwork done today, and I also need to get my new glasses. I should do laundry too at some point.
That is all.

Lame Duck
This is going to be a lame post, but it's better than no post at all I guess.
I took a photo of my hand. Why? Because my nails are all long and pretty, but I just broke the side of the pointer-fingernail so I'm going to cut all of them. Nothing looks more ghetto than one busted fingernail with all of the others long. Yes, they are my real nails and with the prenatal vitamins, they'll probably grow even faster than usual.
We're going to look at that Z28 tomorrow, and I hope to have my lens prescription filled as well.
Our Christmas tree is very, very sad.

Gah
Woo, I broke into -7.00 on my eye prescription! -7.00 in one eye and -6.50 in the other. I so rule. I'm not sure if I'll get new frames or not; I have to check out the selection when I have my prescription filled.
I get to have all kinds of fun blood tests today. The ob/gyn is whoring me out to the lab. I'm being tested for every freaking STD I've ever heard of, including HIV and hepatitis B. I'm also being tested for about 20 other things, and they can test for cystic fibrosis too. Woo!
My prenatal vitamins contain stool softener. For some reason I'm not comforted by that knowledge; quite the contrary, actually.
Next ultrasound is December 13th at 6:15PM, and we should find out the sex!
Apparently I only need 4.5 hours of sleep a night? I was asleep by 11PM last night, and woke up at 3:30 this morning. This is after not sleeping at all Tuesday night (I tried, but couldn't sleep,) and running around like an idiot yesterday. If I could sleep 7 hours in a row, I'd not know how to handle myself.
I may buy a winter car, I'm not sure yet. It's an 87 VW Fox WAGON (2-door) with a manual tranny. The best part is, the car only has 88K miles! The fact that it's only $400 is good too. I'll have to drive it and contemplate the purchase prior to actually deciding one way or the other.
It's a whopping 24 degrees. Fucking snowed yesterday. Not enough to cover the ground, but enough that I saw it snowing, and I hate the snow.
I should try going to sleep or something.
That is all.
I get to have all kinds of fun blood tests today. The ob/gyn is whoring me out to the lab. I'm being tested for every freaking STD I've ever heard of, including HIV and hepatitis B. I'm also being tested for about 20 other things, and they can test for cystic fibrosis too. Woo!
My prenatal vitamins contain stool softener. For some reason I'm not comforted by that knowledge; quite the contrary, actually.
Next ultrasound is December 13th at 6:15PM, and we should find out the sex!

You Know What I Hate?
Other than the usual things, I hate the new Nokia commercials. I especially hate the one with the redneck guy singing The Dukes of Hazzard theme. What's up with him not looking at the camera, but instead looking at the ceiling? Are the lyrics on the ceiling? It's his "theme song," he claims. Um, no. It's a theme song from a washed-up TV show about rednecks. So, if you'd like to be a washed-up redneck, by all means, please have that fucking ringtone on your shitty Nokia cellphone.
Gah.
Gah.

16 Weeks
I'm 16 weeks pregnant! Actually I was 16 weeks yesterday, but you get the point. Four more weeks and we find out the sex. Or the little shit will be lying on his/her stomach and not flash us.
In other news, I'm finally starting to feel somewhat human again. I'm still coughing and all stuffed up, but I'm not nearly as tired today as I have been the past couple weeks. Once I get rid of this crud I'll actually feel pretty good. Until I start having heartburn every night, or worse, hemorrhoids. Seriously, if I wind up with the 'roids someone needs to give me large doses of something to knock me out until they go away. I can't even begin to imagine what that's like, and that's one joy of life I can live without ever experiencing for myself.
On that note, that is all.

New Appliance
OK, so a TV probably isn't considered to be an appliance, but still, it's new and glorious.
Glorious technology
The TV we were using is 21 years old; my parents purchased it in 1984. It technically still works, so we didn't throw it away, but it's not any fun to watch. I think digital cable gave the poor TV a heart attack.
Our new TV is a 27" RCA. We were going to get the flat screen version, but they weren't in stock, so we went with the regular version instead. Woo us. A new microwave and TV all within a month of each other. Now we need a new couch.
Morgan ripped off a goldfish fin, which required extensive goldfish surgery for reattachment. Poor goldfish.
The new Depeche Mode CD is pretty good.
I should clean the living room.
My face is full of boogers. I don't like boogers.
I have an appointment with my opthamologist (eye doctor) a week from tomorrow, and the baby doctor (Dr. Jag) isn't in the office until Monday. This would be the one time she takes two weeks vacation. Grrrrrrrrr.
I chose my health insurance plan today; I'm such a grownup now. I wanted to have the baby at Mercy Medical in Canton, but none of my doctors accepted the plan that includes Mercy, so Aultman Hospital it is. Due date is April 27; I expect flowers.
That is all.

Gah
I'm still sick, but I do seem to be recovering from this crud. The antibiotics must be working because I'm coughing up a rainbow assortment of stuff.
I have training for my election day job at 2:30 this afternoon. It was supposed to be Thursday evening, but was changed at the last minute. That turned out to be a good thing, though, since I was sick anyway.
I suppose I should get in the shower.

The Hell Was That?
Yeah, I'm sick so I'm coughing up all kinds of interesting things. I went to the doctor yesterday and I guess I have bronchitis. I'm on an antibiotic and Robitussin for the cough. It's been in the 60's here the last couple days, and I've been too sick to enjoy the weather. Ack.
I was debating whether I should post this or not, but since my Mom's told everyone she knows, I suppose I will. I'll be 4 months pregnant on Tuesday. Yeah, you read that correctly. Me, pregnant. Of course it's Morgan's!!!! I'll find out next month if it's a boy or a girl. I had my first ultrasound on Wednesday, and I saw two hands with 5 fingers each, and two legs kicking the shit out of my mommy area. That's going to hurt like hell in a month or so. Something to look forward to, I guess. LOL The heartbeat on Wednesday was 146, and it was 156 yesterday, but the nurse told me both are fine, and I don't need to worry.
I've managed to trip over the air and fall coming out of the apartment building (last night.) I fucking rule.
I'm also craving Sprite and Popscicles. Mmmmmmmmm.
Our TV is dying the slow death of antique electronics items.
I think that's enough news for one day.
That is all.

STICKY ENTRY-NEW EMAIL (LAST TIME, I SWEAR)
As the title states, I have another email change. This will be the last one, I swear. We switched to RoadRunner today and plan on keeping it for a long time ($130/mo for phone, net and cable with HBO and Showtime.) The email is ThePooper@neo.rr.com. Tell your friends.

Take Up Some Space
I could have edited my previous post to add this little tidbit, but stupidity such as this deserves its own post.
I just tried to change the TV with the phone. More than once.
Must go to bed.

A Meme!
I saw this over at Mikey's, so I figured I would actually post a meme on my blog. Be afraid...
#1 Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Bruce Springsteen, September 23
#2 Where was your first kiss?
First no-tongue was in Kindergarten on the playground, and first tongue kiss was in the band room (HA!) on my 13th birthday.
#3 Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
Nope
#4 Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Yep
#5 Have you ever sang in front of a large number of people?
Just for High School choir, and never a solo.
#6 What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex?
From afar, hair. Close-up, teeth.
#7 What really turns you on?
Rocker boys (long hair, tattoos, etc)
#8 What do you order at Starbucks?
Vanilla Bean Creme (I, too, hate coffee.)
#9 What is your biggest mistake?
Getting married instead of going to college directly out of high school.
#10 Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
Not so much.
#11 Say something totally random about yourself.
I had to use Morgan's deodorant today, so my pits are itchy.
#12 Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
I used to get the Shannen Doherty thing all the time when I was 13-16 or so. I didn't see it at all, but people called me "Brenda," and I hated it.
#13 Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Hmmm, do Halloween and Christmas specials count?
#14 Did you have braces?
I did, from age 9 to age 13 and I need to get them again. Damned wisdom teeth, and not wearing my retainers.
#15 Are you comfortable with your height?
Yep, being 5'3" is fine with me.
#16 What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
Still waiting...
#17 When do you know it's love?
When I can poop in front of him, with the door open, and not care. (Seriously, it's all about the poop.)
#18 Do you speak any other languages?
Never had to take a foreign language, but I picked up a small amount of Russian from a guy I dated a long time ago.
#19 Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
Sigh, yes when I was in high school.
#20 What magazines do you read?
Lucky, Glamour, Cosmo, Auto Week, Jane
#21 Have you ever ridden in a limo?
No
#22 Has anyone you were really close to passed away?
My Dad, my first husband, my kitty-cat.
#23 Do you watch mtv?
Not since 1990 or so.
#24 What's something that really annoys you?
Honestly, most of the people I run into on a daily basis. Sad, but very true.
#25 What's something you really like?
Driving around for no reason.
#26 Do you like Michael Jackson?
Not so much.
#27 Can you dance?
Again, not so much.
#28 What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
The longest I ever stayed up in a row was for a class trip to Boston, MA in 1995. I stayed up 30-some hours. Yeah, fueled by youth, Dr. Pepper and Twix.
#29 Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
Negative.
#30 Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
While filling this one out.
K, that one wasn't too informative, but took up some time nonetheless.
That is all.

Presents!!
Whee, Morgan got me a present for Sweetest Day! He got me this shirt from Hot Topic. Quite impressed I was, apparently he does pay attention to what I enjoy.
We stayed at Barb and Kanan's again this weekend, where we had a Pre-Halloween turkey dinner. Quite yummy, but then Barb is a good cook so that goes without saying. She's going to the Dominican Republic on Friday for her friend's wedding, so Morgan and I have to go up there this coming weekend so I can make sure Kanan eats decent meals at least 3 of the 7 days she'll be out of town. The following weekend, once she gets back from her trip, we're going to haunted houses. We didn't want to go the weekend of Halloween because it'll be hella busy, but we have no other choice. Blah.
So far my college GPA is a 3.7. I rule.
Speaking of school, I should complete our homework and study for the test tonight.

Finally had a Birdy oil change on Wednesday. I've put 10K miles on him since March, so I guess it was time.
We finished our first 4 credits at school; now we're taking Intro to Sociology. What a joke that class is.
Have to get ready for school.

Poop, Blah
Went to Barb and Kanan's house the 17th; Morgan and Kanan didn't sell shit at the flea market. They're trying again this weekend, which means I'll be in Cleveland again all weekend. Woo me.
Sick. Tired. Generally lethargic. That's me.
I'm recording an episode of Without A Trace, and LaPaglia is wearing glasses. Oh yummy.
Yep, this is all you're getting.

Morgan got a job and starts tomorrow. Detailing at a big dealership, which he enjoys. 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday.
School can eat a dick.
I'm so tired all the time, and I feel like crap. Lovely isn't it?

Disjointed Thoughts
This is going to jump around a lot and be one large paragraph. You've been forewarned...
Enough with the Hurricane Katrina bullshit. Yes, there was a hurricane. Yes, people died and tons of people are without shelter, food, water, employment or money. Shit happens. There, I've said what thousands of other people have been too "PC" to say. Stop your fucking whining, pick yourself up and go on with your life because you are still alive. What pisses me off the most are people have to take up collections because most of those dumb fucks stuck in New Orleans are there because they "could ride it out." They knew how long in advance that a potentially devastating hurricane was on its way? Yet they chose to stay put and "ride it out." This is what you get. And don't email me with the excuse of the people were too poor to move or get out of town. They didn't have friends who could help them get out of town? Why didn't they go to the Superdome with the tens of thousands of other people? Because they were stupid, that's why. And now it's up to the rest of the country to help these morons? Count me out. I only feel sorry for the people who were honestly trapped there; the sick, the old, people who had no one to care for them and all of the animals. If you're stuck there because you were too stupid to get out while you could, then you are reaping what you sow, just like those dumb fucks who were wiped off the face of the earth by the Tsunami because they didn't believe it was coming.
Why is everything a cause? Have to make dumbass ribbons and badges and bumper stickers and website icons. Must make them now before a month passes and we can't capitalize on it (whatever "it" may be) anymore. The millions of people buying that shit ensure the next "event" will also garner stupid ribbons, badges, stickers and icons. I hate what humans have become, and am ashamed to be a human. Not an American, mind you, because this is the best country ever, but a human. I'm only 25 and I've seen a huge change in society from 10 years ago. I see a huge change from 5 years ago. People are stupid. They're only worried about what everyone else thinks they should have, do, say, be. Fuck that. Until society is supporting me down to the deodorant that keeps my pits from funkiness, society can kiss my ass. I'm a good person. I don't steal. I don't do drugs. I don't drink and drive. I don't smoke. I would work if someone would give me a job. I'm not on welfare. I'm going to school to better myself. I don't beat old people or little kids. I'm nice to animals. I attempt to be kind to my fellow man, unless they're so dumb that I can't handle being around them. All of that isn't enough if I don't have the Katrina ribbon plastered on my car, along with the myriad of other stupid ribbons? Excuse me, but fuck you.
On a lighter note, we had orientation yesterday. What a waste of 2.5 hours that was. We received the book for our first class, listened to some people yammer on about how happy they were to have us there and took a 3-part placement test. I bombed the math portion just as I thought I would, but I did well on the reading and English portions. I'm testing out of Comp 1 and 2, and Intros to Psych and Sociology, which means I will graduate 4 months early. Woo!
One more month (1st-2nd week of October) until our school money is available and we won't have to worry about bills anymore. A job would be nice, but obviously that's not going to happen for either of us, so I'll stop yammering on about employment. Wait, maybe I should have some ribbons made up, and have people take up collections on their blogs?????
Is "just" the new "like?" People throw "just" in sentences where it doesn't belong and I want to shake people for doing so. A little tip, YOU SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT. STOP WITH THE "JUST."
You'd think an author would verify the spelling of a city prior to publishing the book. Where was his editor? I'm reading House of Secrets about Eddie Sexton and his clan. The city of Massillon is mentioned quite a bit, but the author spells the city with one "L" instead of two. Hello, assfuck, it's called a map. Look it up. The book is actually pretty good, and we live about 7 minutes from that house (we're on the border of North Canton and Jackson.) Still, check the spelling before you publish. Dickface.
I'm finished bitching for now, but I'll probably be back later for more.
That is all.

DVR, How I Love Thee
DVR'ing NYPD Blue Smits episodes is such a nice thing.
Photos from when Morgan and I went out with Turtle Saturday night.
Me After 4 Smirnoff Twisteds
Morgan
Turtle
Turtle offered to take our broke asses out, if one of us would be his designated driver. Can't turn that offer down!! Smirnoff Ice Twisted Watermelon is the best, followed closely by Mandarin Orange.
I had an interview yesterday morning, but obviously that went nowhere. So driving all over the fucking country filling out applications has netted us absolutely nothing; at $2.69 a gallon for gas. Lovely.
We're having our own little hurricane.
People are stupid.
That is all.

Turtle offered to take our broke asses out, if one of us would be his designated driver. Can't turn that offer down!! Smirnoff Ice Twisted Watermelon is the best, followed closely by Mandarin Orange.
I had an interview yesterday morning, but obviously that went nowhere. So driving all over the fucking country filling out applications has netted us absolutely nothing; at $2.69 a gallon for gas. Lovely.
We're having our own little hurricane.
People are stupid.
That is all.

That Time Of Year Again
Yes, it's that time of year again. Halloween time! So it isn't even September yet, but it's been colder this week, which puts me in mind of Fall. Have I ever mentioned that Fall is my favorite season? I like Spring with the flowers blooming and stuff, but I love Fall the most. The days are still warm enough, the evenings aren't hot and the leaves change and all that good stuff. Plus, Fall means Halloween season. I love Halloween, and I always have. I checked out haunted house websites last night; I will go to the Factory of Terror this Halloween season. Even though I got fired Tuesday for not going in on my day off on Monday, Morgan and I get our first school disbursement the 1st or 2nd week of October. We'll receive another disbursement in November as well. Even if we aren't working, everything will be all right, but we both plan on working as well as going to school. I had an interview yesterday, and I think I have a job. Yeah, I think I have a job. Nice, yes? I go in Monday at 9AM, but I have no idea if I'm working that day, having a second interview or what. I don't even know what the company does that I went to; they pay $8/hr and it's a relaxed setting which is all that matters to me.
School...Monday, Tuesday and Thursday every week, 6P-10P. We'll be finished in two years and will have our Associates degrees. Our major is Computer Networking and Applications, and we'll also be MCSE certified upon graduation. Everyone's jealous, I know. At least that way I'll be able to get a good job, save up and go back for Forensic Psych. So yeah, orientation is September 1, and our first day of school is September 6. I'm excited.
Digital cable with the DVR box is still pretty fucking cool.
Wireless Internet is also still fucking cool.
Gah, my Pooper.net mail is still down. I can log in, but all I get is a continuous "logging you in" screen.
I plan on visiting Travis in WV before it starts snowing. I know the Birdy will make the trip with no problem, but I'll need the time off from school and work. School's not a problem since I'm off Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week. I guess I could leave on a Friday after work and come home sometime Sunday afternoon. I must go to the Burnsville diner for cole slaw, dammit!!
I feel bad for people with snaggly teeth. Thankfully my parents blessed me with braces from ages 9 to 14.
We desperately need an entertainment center.
That is all.

Schooooooool
Morgan and I start college September 6th. I'm so freaking excited! It's only an Associates Degree, but it's better than nothing. We'll both be MCSE certified as well. We're going for computer networking and applications. We rule.
I'm off to watch the 3 hours of NYPD Blue I DVR'd today. Smits better be in some of the episodes.

Allow Me To Elaborate
So yeah, I was on my way home from my Mom's house last night a little after midnight. I had the TruckBird loaded down with stuff, and was buzzing right along. I thought my dash lights were getting dimmer, but then I thought it could have been cause I was kinda tired. Then my airbag light popped on, and my headlights started dimming. I pulled a U-Turn and hauled ass back to my Mom's house. I almost made it there, but the car just gave up and died about three blocks from my Mom's house. So there I am, walking to her place at 12:30AM. It was fucking creepy, and where she lives is as safe as any town in America can be in the year 2005. So I get there, wake her up and we take her car to load all of my shit so no one steals any of it while it's sitting in the bank parking lot (where I coasted to after he died.) There was about a .01% chance anyone would have messed with my car, but I didn't want to take the chance. Just for shits and giggles I decided to try and start my car. He fired right up and I sped my way to her house. I had just parked when the TruckBird died again. Today my brother ran me to Advance Auto Parts so I could buy a new alternator, and Morgan installed the part. Jeff needed to come over because the damned bracket bolt was stuck, and we couldn't get it loose. The car's fine, and he just turned 140K miles. Seriously, we paid $300 for the car in March. We knew it needed a starter when we bought the car, and that was $105. Now, 5 months later, I had to pay $75 for an alternator. Total, we paid $480 for the Birdy. I'm not going to complain. But that's what I get for running my mouth about the dead Camaro. I still trust the Birdy to take me anywhere, and I'd prefer to not ride in the Camaro at all, piece of shit that it is.
I must remember to watch Supersize Me on Showtime. We have Showtime and Showtime On Demand free for 6 months, and everyone best believe that I'll be taking advantage of the On Demand stuff. Digital cable is so fucking cool. I know I'm old when I'm fascinated by printing from the couch and pausing live TV. Recording TV is just a bonus.
Eh, guess I'll go to bed.
That is all.

Woo
By 2PM we'll have cable. I'm so excited I could shit myself. Did I mention we're also getting the DVR box? Yay!!
Some photos to keep you busy while I'm away playing with the cable box:
Someone thinks he's Hitler
Our cars
Our apt building!
Cars again
Someone had a milestone!
Yes, Morgan shaved that horrible Hitler thing right after I took a photo.
I printed from the couch a couple days ago. As in my butt was on the couch, and I printed to the dining room printer. Wireless continues to amaze me everyday.
I'm old.
The new job is going fine. My first week and I fixed two PC's. I rule.

Workers Comp?
I cut my finger on a pair of scissors at work today. Fucking hurts like a sonofabitch, too. Does that qualify for workers' comp? Light duty? Didn't think so.

Pete Burns scares the fuck out of me
David Coverdale is the lead singer of Whitesnake, and Pete Burns is the singer from Dead or Alive.

Wireless Wonder
I finally received my wireless card today, and after a billion connection attempts, it spontaneously connected and has been online ever since. Wireless is soooooo nice. Now if I could get the laptop battery to last longer than 3 hours, I'd be set.
I just tried watching Swimfan on DVD, but the disc is all jacked up. Sucks cause that looked like a hella good movie.
Guess I'll clean since Morgan would rather sleep all evening than spend time with me.

Some People
So this guy calls today and requests a quote to have service performed on a Xerox phaser. I tell the guy I'll find out and return his call. I do just that, and the first time I called he wasn't answering his page, so I left a voicemail. I just called him back to make sure he received the quote, and his secretary, who was running interference, informed me he was "unavailable." OK, fine. She then asked what it was in regard to, and I told her. She then said, "Oh, we had that serviced earlier today." Well piss off then. The guy didn't even have the decency to take my call and inform me. My time is valuable, probably more so than his, but I don't even garner the common courtesy of speaking directly with him. People amaze me sometimes.
Morgan and I rented three DVD's last night for $1.50. Yeah, less than two bucks for three DVD's that don't have to be back until midnight Wednesday. We rule.
Twenty minutes until going home time.
That is all.

First Day
The first day at my new job went fine, even though I was woken up at 4:30AM by Morgan playing the computer way too fucking loud. Fuckface. So I had 3 hours of sleep last night. Nice, yes?

Who Needs Two Kidneys?
My nephew is going back on the kidney transplant list this October. He's A+ and I'm A+ so I guess I'm going to get tested to possibly donate a kidney. Hell, what do I need two kidneys for anyway?
More tomorrow.

Yeah, Morgan loves the Hello Kitty bathroom accessories. Just as much as I love having the couch covered with one of my comforters. Tacky as hell, but it's better than the actual couch color. Besides, the couch was a freebie so we can't complain. Everyone is soooo jealous of our circa 1984 TV.
Look closely at the master bedroom photos; that's a Morgan-lump under the covers. 4:30PM and he's still in bed.
We're venturing out later to go grocery shopping; it's too hot outside right now.
Um, they should have called about the Camaro by now. They close at 5PM, and we need to know for sure if we can pick up the car tonight. Fuckheads.
I need a nap. Or food. Or something.

I'm Baaaaaaack
OK, so I've been gone a while. I think 12 days is some type of record for me, and I don't wish to duplicate it ever again. We're pretty much settled-in at our new apartment, and we finally have DSL. Still no cable for the TV, but that'll be soon, I hope. I'm no longer working at Summit Racing, and no, I'm not getting into it here. Suffice to say I did nothing wrong other than getting food poisoning, and getting stuck in road construction on the way to work. It worked out for the best, though, since I begin my new job Monday (won't miss a paycheck,) and this new position is 10 minutes from my house, I can wear jeans and it's at a computer/printer/fax machine repair place. Did I mention I can play on the Internet all day long? And I'll have minimal contact with customers, and 99% of the customers I do see won't be pissed off and screaming at me?! Wooooooo!
The Camaro is alive once again. Turns out the new timing chain (less than 8K miles) broke in two. How I love that car. /sarcasm
Morgan applied for a job at the junkyard and hopefully he'll get hired.
So yeah, food poisoning...Morgan and I went to the benefit for Metal Steve two weeks ago. Earlier in the evening, we went to Mr. Hero for dinner. We couldn't finish all of our food, so we stuck the remaining Romanburgers and the rest of my cheesesteak in the back of the Birdy (Camaro had a hole in the radiator at that point, so we were driving my car.) Anyway, I didn't know the food was in the car all damn night, and I ate some of it Sunday afternoon. Around 3AM Monday I woke up puking and shitting my brains out. Suffice to say, I couldn't go to work that day. I just was able to start eating normally earlier this week, but I guess I was supposed to go to work with stuff flying out both ends of my body. I did call my former boss a spineless faggot, so that has to count for something. I rule.
We should retrieve Morgan's crap from his Mom's apartment before she throws his stuff away. She's a big enough cunt that she'd throw his stuff away just for something to do. She threw his microwave away because it was "broken" and he wouldn't drive an hour up there to reset the fucking thing. Dumb bitch.
I so want to ram my feet up SBC's collective asses. Don't even get me started on an SBC rant or I won't be able to stop.
Morgan and I saw this lovely person yesterday, while driving down Cleveland AVE. For some reason, we found him to be quite amusing. I think the beard hanging out from under his helmet was the cincher.

Easily amused, we are.
If I'm not too lazy later on this weekend, I'll take photos of the apartment with furniture and crap. Amazing, I know.

The Kanan knife video is at Kanan and Barb's house, while Barb was upstairs getting ready to leave. I meandered upstairs, and you can hear Barb and I chattering in the background. The radiator video was yesterday as well. The Camaro's radiator has a crack on the side, so my brother Jeff gave us a radiator he thought was good. Obviously it wasn't. You can hear my Mom cackling in that video. Lastly, the video I took today of our new apartment after I signed the lease and PICKED UP THE KEYS. Wooooo!
Headache, plus I need to do laundry. Maybe I should pack too, or something.

Always Something
OK, so the guy called today about the apartment in North Canton, and we got the place. The catch is, we need $575 Sunday at noon for the deposit and first month's rent. Total, after deducting the cell phone and living expenses (food, gas) for next week, Morgan and I have $200. I asked my Mom to borrow the rest and, of course, I can't borrow the money. Everyone knows where this is leading; a Kieth rant. He can not pay his bills, blow his money on who knows what, get his cars repoed and she'll bail him out hundreds, a couple times even thousands, at a time. He can have her go to a check cashing place, then not pay the loan and have it taken out of her checking account, then she "loans" him money again. He's paid her maybe $100 of the money he owes her, and I've paid a lot more than that back, yet I can't borrow $375 to get this apartment. Fabulous, yes?
Benefit for Metal Steve at the Chamber (Cleveland) tomorrow (Saturday) night. $3/person at the door for everyone over 21; $5 under 21. Me, Morgan, Kanan and Barb will be there after 11PM.

News
The guy called today about the apartment in North Canton. He was trying to "process" my application, but I forgot to include my extension number at work. I called him back with HR's extension, so I should find out tomorrow about the apartment. If that one falls through, which I'm sure it will, I've found another apartment to look at. Grrrrrr, I hate moving.
I sense sleepy-time in my very, very near future.
Heather and I were nearly killed in the Arby's drive-thru this afternoon. Some old bitch in a Lincoln came this close - to backing into Heather's car. Nice, yes?
Jeans day at work tomorrow, wooooooo!
That is all.

It's Time
We find out today or tomorrow about the apartment in North Canton. It would certainly be nice to get that apartment since it's pretty close to work, really nice and in a great area. If we don't get that unit, at least they'll return the $100 deposit (at least they're supposed to return the deposit.)
Why am I blogging before 7AM?
Lets take a week and a half to refund my $3.20, shall we? Oh, but wait, you probably need a license to refund my money, just like you need a license to sell Primal Elements body whips and sugar scrubs, right? I can't wait to get my refund from that person, so I can then call her bluff and tell her she's full of shit. Like I wouldn't call the company directly to confirm her story.
Christ, not even 7AM and I'm all ready in a mood.

What We Do
Some video clips of what Morgan and I do during the weekends. These videos were shot Friday night while we were out cruising with Z28 Jeff, on 480, 71 and Pearl RD (42) in the Cleveland area (Brooklyn, Middleburg Heights, Parma.)

Look Who's Alive
Getting up at 6:30AM is killing me. It was easier last week, and I'm sure it'll be easier this week than it was the first week. Still, I don't enjoy getting up that early, and going to bed before midnight. The job itself is fine, but the hours are still icky.
On Saturday Morgan quit his job at Ganley. Fuck those dicks. He's getting a job with me at Summit, so it's not a big deal. Besides, my income will cover all the bills. Woo!
We've decided against the apartemnts in Tallmadge and Cuyahoga Falls. Morgan was freaked out by the $575/mo rent for the Tallmadge unit (it was really nice, though,) and the Falls apartment is cute (I saw it Thursday,) but for $440 a month I'd like a larger unit and central air (window unit A/C in the wall.) So, I found a 2 bedroom apartment in North Canton for $450 a month. It has central air, and it's on the first floor of the building. Morgan and I are going to look at the apartment after work tomorrow, and the landlord will let us pay the security deposit over two months, instead of coming up with $900 all at once. If things go well tomorrow when we look at the unit, we could be moving as early as this coming weekend! Woo!
I beat Morgan's ass today while go-karting. I rule.

Is It Friday Yet?
Can we fast-forward to Friday and skip all of next week? Please? My new job is cool, but getting up at 6:45AM is most certainly NOT cool. I overslept yesterday and didn't get to work until 12:20. Nice, yes? I didn't get in trouble or anything, though, so that's good.
More photos of the house I want:
House 3

House 4 Creepy
I need to write a letter to the owner and see if he'd consider renting the house to us. That would rock.
Morgan and I went to Denny's last night for dinner. In the restaurant were three jackass kids making all kinds of noise and playing with their obviously new camera phones. After those fucks left, some drunk guy came in and was being all loud and obnoxious. When we finally finished dinner, I was standing outside on the sidewalk waiting for Morgan to finish paying the bill. I'm standing there, and some assfucks in a broken-down Tempo drove up on the sidewalk and almost ran over me. Nice night, yes?
Morgan and I should be moving out in the next two weeks. The plan is to find an apartment this coming weekend, pay the security deposit then move in the following weekend. Woo!
I found some really cool saltwater fish this evening, but I've heard saltwater fish are hard to care for. Does anyone out there have experience with saltwater tanks? If so, let me know what it's like.
That is all.
More photos of the house I want:
House 3
House 4
House 4 Creepy
I need to write a letter to the owner and see if he'd consider renting the house to us. That would rock.
Morgan and I went to Denny's last night for dinner. In the restaurant were three jackass kids making all kinds of noise and playing with their obviously new camera phones. After those fucks left, some drunk guy came in and was being all loud and obnoxious. When we finally finished dinner, I was standing outside on the sidewalk waiting for Morgan to finish paying the bill.

Too tired/busy to update right now. Getting up before 7AM is killing me.
That house I've been babbling about is empty. ; )

Shut It
Does anyone ever shut up? Didn't think so.
I have two more photos of that house I mentioned yesterday. A little better than yesterday's photo, but not much.
House
House Again
Don't forget, I was driving home while taking these photos.
I got three house of sleep again last night. Yay, me.
That is all.
*Edited immediately after post*
I just reviewed the photos and the one I posted yesterday looks identical to the first photo from today's post. I swear, those are two different photos!

Summit Customer Service, This Is Pooper
No, I'm not using Pooper as my name but it'd be hella funny if I did.
First day is finished. I'm beat and need sleep, but wanted to do a mini-update for the 3 people who read this blog. The first day went really well. It was a lot of stuff to learn, but fun too. We have class from 9AM-1PM, lunch from 1PM-2PM then "desk time" from 2PM-5PM. I'll get a photo of the catalog I have to build during "desk time"; everyone will shit their pants.
Must decorate my cube.
I want this house but it isn't for sale. It looks empty, though. I'm sure it used to be an old church, but it's hella cool (and creepy) looking from the outside. I'll try to get a better photo tomorrow on my way to work.
I was too tired to go past the apartment in Cuyahoga Falls. I almost fell asleep on the way home. Tomorrow, if I'm more energetic, I'll cruise by and see where it is and what it looks like.
Gah, must sleep.

Oh Yes
I am the chicken master. I just made skinless chicken breasts for dinner, and holy ass are they good. Morgan's the steak/pork chop master, but I am the chicken master.
I need to find clothes for work tomorrow. I can't believe I have to wear pantyhose/knee highs all the time. How silly is that? Even if I have on long pants and boots, I still have to wear pantyhose or knee highs. Hello, where's the logic behind that? But, for $10.25/hr, I'll suffer. LOL
I'll drive out to the apartment building tomorrow after work just so I'm 100% sure where the apartment is located. I'll get a photo if it's not too obvious.
I need to paint the Birdy's fenders.

You Weren't Beat Enough
Today was a totally uneventful day. I slept until 4PM, but not without waking up 4 times to pee between 6AM-4PM. I start my job Monday, so I'm going to get as much sleep this weekend as possible.
I did manage to wash my car, and to list a couple things on eBay. I have to get the basement cleaned out before I move!
Yesterday I went to Strongsville to meet Morgan at the Southland car show on W130th. Well, I forgot the show wasn't directly off Pearl RD, so I drove all the way to BrookPark RD before I realized I went too far. I finally got there around 7:30PM, and I left my house at 10 til 5. It shouldn't have taken me longer than an hour and 20 minutes. I rule.
After the car show, Morgan, me, Jeff and his 3 boys went to Swenson's Drive-In for dinner. Oh yummy, dammit. I had a Galleyboy, an order of onion rings and a cherry (cherry syrup) Pepsi. Morgan had 2 Galleyboys, an order of battered mushrooms and Dew. All that food, with a tip, was $14. And dammit, was it good. We then bummed around at his house, watched TV and played with The Smush.
Pooooooooooooop.
Yes, I passed my drug test on Wednesday. The testing facility immediately tests the sample, instead of sending it to an outside lab. The drug test was for 10 different things, and looked like a pregnancy test. It was pretty nifty to watch, and nice to get the results immediately. I knew it was going to be OK, but I always worry about stuff like that; just like my criminal background check. I knew I'm not a criminal, but I was worried anyway. Monday is my first day at work. Woo!
I've decided that after we've moved, and have all of our furniture and stuff, I'm buying an MP3 player. Not neccessarily an IPod, but some type of MP3 player, dammit.
Oh, Morgan bought me center caps for my wheels.
Isn't it pretty?
He also bought me the hatch condom for the Birdy, but it's a little harder to install than center caps.
The interior of the Birdy after I cleaned him today. What's up with him looking orange?
Birdy with his new ground effects, front end and center caps. Isn't he cute?
That is all.

Here's Your Cup...
Guess who gets to pee in a cup for the second time in two months? Yeah, it's a good thing I don't have a problem whizzing into tiny cups. The Summit Racing HR lady called yesterday to extend an "official offer of employment." Woo! I have to take a drug test today, then I start Monday at 8:30AM. It won't be too bad, though. I'll have to get up at 7AM, which means I'll have to be in bed no later than 10:30PM. Once I move, I'll be able to get up at 7:30AM. Morgan and I are going to drive past the apartment building today, just so I'm sure of which unit it is we'll be moving into.
Please, never use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on your arms. Yeah, I colored my hair a couple nights ago and got color all over myself. I used the Magic Eraser on my arms, and while it took off all the hair color, it also removed my skin. How lovely.
Two more photos of my brother's dog Chubby. What the hell is he?

Shut The Fuck Up
Apparently this exhibit is a must-see this summer. Glad it runs through the whole summer; that way I'll definitely be able to check it out.
Got into a verbal "disagreement" tonight with some cunt at Gabe's. She kept shoving her fucking cart into the back of my legs while standing in line at the registers. I calmly turned around and asked her very politely to stop shoving her cart into my legs. I even said please and thank you. She then decided to start mouthing off about how she wasn't going to say anything, and she was keeping her mouth shut. Then she said something about my fat ass, so I turned around and told her at least my fat ass has manners. She then proceeded to tell me I better shut the fuck up. I retorted with "or what, you'll get black on me? There's a surprise." That shut her the fuck up. As an amusing aside, this is the same crackhead who was wandering around the store not 15 minutes earlier carrying on a full blown conversation. With herself.
And, for the record, my ass isn't fat.
So Morgan, Barb, Kanan and myself are going camping the weekend of the 22nd. For all of you who are keeping track, that's the weekend I wanted to move, but that can be accomplished during the week. Camping will prove to be quite an adventure I'm sure. For damned sure I'll be packing 3 or 4 bottles of this stuff. I can't stand bugs. If the campground doesn't allow handguns (both Barb and Kanan have their concealed carry licenses,) we're for damned sure taking the katana and the wakazashi. I have dibs on the wakazashi cause it's smaller and I can handle it better than the katana.
Once again, for the record, there will be no fishing with the Uzi.
This kitty keeps hanging around my house. Morgan is going to abduct her if he can get her into the car when he goes home on Thursday. She's a really cool kitty, and is declawed and fixed. She's always roaming around outside, though, so either she was abandoned or the owners don't really give a fuck about her. That photo rocks beacause the birdhouse looks like a kitty hat.
I think I just paid my cell phone bill out of the wrong account (checking instead of savings.) That will be bad if I did.
I should go to bed.
That is all.

Fucking Rawk!!!
I got a job at Summit Racing today. I start July 11th, and will have 6 months of training. It'll be almost 3 months until I actually touch a phone, and that's fine with me! My training hours are 8:30A-5P, Monday-Friday. Weekly pay, and I'll make $10.25/hr to start. Not to mention I get parts at cost. Everything in the catalog, I'll be able to buy AT COST. Woooooo! So yeah, they're doing my criminal background check, which will be fine, and after that comes back clean I get my "official hire date." In light of this development, I'm moving out August 1st. Double woooooooo!
I've had 6 hours of sleep in the last 3 days; I'm going to bed.

Billy Badass
Minerva Dave sent me two photos of himself and his motorcycle. He did this just to rub it in that he has a bike and I don't. Jackass.
He's on the right
He needs a smack
Target has 128MB MP3 players on sale for $35. (Hint, hint)
I have a job interview July 6th at a roofing company. This would be an excellent job. The hours are M-F 10AM-2PM, and it's just 5 minutes down the road. Plus it's all guys, and I get along very well with the male species. LOL
I'm waiting on Morgan to get home from work. I guess I'll start dinner (tacos.)

Anyone Have $45?
Dammit, I want this shirt:
Available at Mrs. Horsepower Kustomsized clothing. She fucking rules!!! Her items are of the highest quality, and all hand/custom made. I get $45 extra, and I'm buying that shirt. I can't decide on the pink with black accent, or the black with red accent.
I so need a job.

Oprah Is A Whining Bitch
Anyone hear about how Oprah was refused entry at Hermes in Paris? She's whining about not being allowed in, and screaming racism. Bitch please. You arrived after the store closed and they were setting up for a private event. Sit the fuck down, and shut the fuck up.
I'm so pissed off I can barely speak, and it has nothing to do with Oprah's whining bitch-ass.

Don't Even Try
I'm so proud of myself. Remember when I won that sweatshirt on eBay and I paid with GreenZap web cash? Well the seller decided, after shipping the shirt, that she didn't trust GreenZap. So she refunded the payment, and requested I pay via cashier's check, money order or PayPal. That was June 12. I mailed a postal money order on June 15. She filed a thing through eBay saying she hadn't received payment as of today. Then she lied and said she'd never told me a money order was acceptable. Thankfully I saved the email, and I forwarded it to her. She replied with "don't take it personally, I'm just a business owner trying to collect a debt." Excuse me, but I emailed her prior to bidding to confirm she accepted GreenZap web cash. She said she did. It's not my fault she decided, after the fact, to change payment methods because she thinks GreenZap is a fraud. I replied and told her that very thing. I also told her I sell on eBay, and I know what it's like. Which is why I don't change payment methods mid-stride, and I keep track of what I tell my bidders are acceptable payment methods. It's shit like this that makes people hate eBay. I could have been an asshole and told her not to refund my GreenZap payment because I wouldn't send payment any other way. But no, I was nice and told her OK, I would send her a money order. Then she tries to say I'm a liar. Nice, huh?
The guy from the car rental place never contacted me, so I guess it's back to square one. He pissed me off anyway when I went in there Thursday. When I originally interviewed for the position, he said it'd be evenings and weekends, not on the airport and I could wear company polo shirts instead of company dress shirts. OK, cool. Thursday I stopped in to get my drug test info and he said I'd be working mostly day shift (7AM-3PM,) they were moving to the airport and I'd have to wear company dress shirts all the time. Say what? There's a huge difference between night shift (3PM-11PM) and day shift. I told him when I interviewed that nights/weekends were perfect for me because my boyfriend works nights and weekends as well. Not excatly the place I want to work.
Morgan's coworker called this morning around 10AM. Morgan gave them my cell number because that's the easiest way to get in touch with him. Mario called, and I thought it was Morgan (he has a special ringer and his picture flashes when he calls.) I was sleeping when the phone rang, so I answered it all sleepy voiced. I realized it wasn't Morgan's voice and I'm like, what happened? Is Morgan OK? Mario told me everything was fine, he was calling to find out if Morgan could come in early. I told Mario I'd call Morgan and have him go in early. Scared the fuck out of me, dammit!
OK, this is a completely useless post. Oh well.

Who's An Idiot? *Raises Hand*
The GTA ground effects arrived yesterday. I didn't get home until really late, so I opened them this afternoon. I cleaned them up, then stuck them on my car to see what they'll look like. Little did I know that I'd just put them on the wrong sides of the car. I thought it looked wrong, and like I wouldn't be able to open the doors, but I figured the "5.0 Liter FI" logos would be on the rear of the car. Obviously I was wrong. I can't believe I'm posting these photos, but here they are:

I'm such a moron.
My fuel pump is going bad, so I can't get to work tomorrow. I am so tired of this ass luck when it comes to jobs. The job at Rent-A-Center was pretty good, but they fired me because I couldn't lift anything over 15-20 pounds, even though I'd told them that before I even interviewed for the position. I had to quit the car lot job earlier this year because the Camaro was dead for 3 days, and we didn't have the Birdy. I lost the driving instructor job because of my 4 tickets in 9 years. Now I'll lose this job because the fuel pump is going bad on the Birdy. The only good thing is our friend Jeff, with the blue 91 Z28, said he'd help us replace the fuel pump. That's going to save us at least $150, probably more. Jeff rules.
Morgan and I went to his Dad's house last night. While Morgan and SkeetDawg loaded up an Iroc hood, I took photos of the Iroc. Warning, these are hard to look at.

That's what one winter will do to a Van Nuys paint job if it isn't garaged. It's hard to believe, from those photos, that the Iroc still has less than 26K original miles. It runs great, and the interior will be spotless, but it looks horrible. Thankfully all of the spots are just surface rust, so it'll be pretty easy to fix.
I took these two photos on the way to Morgan's Dad's house last night. They are views of Downtown Cleveland on the way in from 71N.

Whimper
Gah, my head is so aching. I need to tear apart the old front end of the Birdy. I need to thoroughly wash the Birdy inside and out. I need to clean up the house. Alas, here I sit with a pounding head.
Shoot me.

Yessssssssssss.
Got a job; I start Thursday as long as my motor vehicle report comes back with just the speeding ticket. I have to do a pee test too, but that's not a big deal. I go in tomorrow at 10AM to sign papers and all that crap. The one things that pisses me off is I have to wear long sleeved shirts because I have tattoos and I'll be working with business customers. Fuck you. I seriously almost told the guy to go fuck himself because a lot more business customers have tattoos than any one would ever think. Besides, I have tattoos, so I will do my job less effectively with short sleeves? Eat shit. But yeah, I caved because I need a job. LOL $8/hr with full benefits. I'll work mostly evenings and weekends, which is cool with me. They're open until 11PM most nights because it's the airport location.

Old Front Clip
Yeah, the shit we do after midnight. It only took an hour and a half to get the old front off the car. Hopefully it only takes an hour and a half to get the new one on the car. LOL
Wooooo!

I'm Complete
Woooooooo! Guess who finally got the fenders and front bumper for her car? That would be me. Last night (Friday) I was in Strongsville with Morgan. We'd just cashed his check and were in Wal-Mart. My cell phone rang, and I couldn't get to the damned thing quickly enough to answer it. Private name, private number and they didn't leave a message. The person called right back and I was able to answer the damn phone that time. It was a guy I'd called earlier in the day about Firebird parts. He had all kinds of parts from an 87 Birdy, and wanted $250 for all the parts. I don't need doors, interior stuff or the rear hatch, but he had the complete front clip. Long story short, Morgan wound up getting me the complete front clip for $100. Yes, $100. Headlights and everything. The next project is putting the parts on my car. I can't wait! I'll be outside washing the parts tomorrow, and they're not even on the car.
The Firebird was in a car show today. Baaaaaaahahahahaahah.
Must sleep.

Picture Share Time
Yes, I had the Firebird in a car show. The Brunswick/303 car show, to be exact. That's the RS to the right of the blue T/A.
That is all.

Somone Needs Hit
Morgan called at 2PM to let me know he gets off work at 6PM. OK then. I was on the phone with the job placement service. So I called the actual prospective employer, and the lady said they'd filled the position. Well fuck you then. And no, I won't waste my gas to fill out an application if you're having someone start Monday. Assfuckers.
I don't have to leave until 4:30, which is good, since I have yet to take a shower.
That is all.

I'm not going to Stan Hywet this year. Brian's woman decided she is going with him, so that means I'm not going. I can't stand her, and there's no reason for me to pretend I like her by going to a car show and putting up with her for a couple hours. Morgan's working, there's no one else to go with me and I will not go by myself. So there we have it. I'm missing Stan Hywet for the second year in a row. I'll also miss the first Massillon car show on Saturday because it's tomorrow, same day as Thunder in the North.
Poop.
Since Morgan didn't call me by 1:30 this afternoon, I will assume that means he's getting off work at 4PM, which means I have to leave my house by 2:30PM. There's no way I'll be ready in a half hour, especially since I'm on the phone with a job service thing, so I think I'll be leaving at 3PM. I know no one cares, but I'm blogging about it any way.

Trent!!
I was just at NIN.com, and I happened upon the tour section. Trent Reznor. October 9 at the Gund. Woo. Morgan and I must go.
OK, I'm really going to bed this time.

Random Thoughts
I hate when I shave my armpits with a new razor. Inevitably they'll itch the day after, because I shave my pits every day and that just irritates the itch factor. Seriously, itchy pits are soooo annoying.
That guy never called me back about my interview so obviously I didn't get the job. Thanks for a complete waste of 2.5 hours.
The Morgan made me rub the lotion on the skin, and then I had to put the lotion in the basket. Yeah, we're freaks, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you are very lame.
The Firebird will NOT be receiving his new fenders this weekend. I called CertiFit this afternoon, and they are sold out of the fenders. I can't preorder them, so I have to wait 2 weeks, then hope they have the fenders in stock when I arrive to purchase the fenders. CertiFit also has 87-90 T/A front bumpers for $110 BRAND NEW. Woo! As of this moment, the only parts I actually have for my car are the new GFX from an 87 GTA and new rims (16" Camaro rims, exactly like the RS rims.) Yes, I'm putting Camaro rims on my Birdy. Everyone needs to shut up right now.
I may dyno the Birdy on Saturday; we'll see how much it is then I'll decide for sure. The Camaro is getting a free dyno pull since the original pull on May 21st was inaccurate. A friend of ours has a 98 SS that pulled 400-something HP, and is really pulling over 500HP. Obviously the dyno was off. We're going to use GMR Speed's dyno this weekend, and it's brand new. I'll probably wind up doing it, unless it's ass expensive.
I should go to bed.

It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin
OK, so last night we rented The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon. We would have rented Hannibal, too, but it wasn't available. Both are rockass movies, and the flaming guy in the wheelchair is one of the best movie moments of all time. Ted Levine was all buff in The Silence of the Lambs; what's up with that?
Thunder in the North is this weekend. Anyone going? Morgan and I are going to the Saturday BBQ and car show in Brunswick, but he decided to work Sunday. Therefore, if Brian's woman isn't going with him, I'll be at the Stan Hywet car show in Akron. Woo! It's $7 a person for the Stan Hywet show, but soooooooo worth the cost.
I should pick up my photos from Wal-Mart or something.
