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
Wolf Moon
Everyone I Love Is Dead
Black Sabbath Intro
Christian Woman
Love You To Death
World Coming Down
Kill At The White People
I Don't Wanna Be Me
Black #1

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.

OK, I finally decided on the shoes I'm wearing. The winner is...The Red/Black Patent Steel Toed Quad Sole Three Eyes. I love those shoes. They're low cut, but very sturdy and they're steel toed. Woohoo! I probably want to get in the shower as I'm supposed to be in the Falls by 5:30 and it takes me at least 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there going up 44 to 224 to 91. I'm not driving the Baron on 77 and taking a chance on overheating while stuck in traffic. Piece of shit!

OK, I'm off. I'll probably not update this thinige until Friday afternoon, so until then....Byeeeeee!

Blah, Blah, Blah...

Totally don't work at the storage place anymore. Suffice to say I got fed up with her shit, and she fired me. Well she fired me after I told her to be quiet and let me format letters the way I was used to. Then she also tried to bitch about my pants, but they are Dockers brand so that pissed her off even more. That's OK though, as Kelly Services called and they found me a job. Here's the particulars:
In Alliance, about 15 minutes from my house.
I'd be collecting on mobile home payments that are less than 10 days past due.
Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10AM-9PM with an hour paid lunch and two 15 minute paid breaks. Friday is 8AM-7PM with the same break/lunch deal.
Dress code is jeans, t-shirts, shorts, sandals, boots, tennie shoes. Really anything as long as the "important areas" are covered. No tank tops, or belly shirts (oh darn).
Now the good part...The pay rate is $10.45 an hour to start, and after 90 days if I'm hired directly by the company, the pay rate doubles to $20.90 an hour!!!
The only bad part is I don't start until August 11th. Yuck!!

Whee me!! I also have an interview at St. Luke's Senior Care Center on Monday, August 1. I'll go to the interview as maybe they'll hire me and I can work there until my new job starts on August 11. Woohoo!

Type O Negative at the Cleveland Odeon in less than 12 hours!!! The show starts at 8PM, and I plan on being 3 sheets to the wind by 7PM. I haven't drank in a long time, and since I'm not driving, I'm getting sloshed. This will be fun.

Hall of Fame Ribs Burn-Off starts tomorrow/today (Thursday). I may go on Friday after Andrew's birthday party, if not I'll go on Saturday when Quiet Riot is playing. Hootie and the Blowfish are playing today, and some country guy is playing on Friday. Bleh.

Bah, what shoes should I wear to the concert? I'm thinking about my camo steel toed boots, but I dunno. I'm not going to be down on the floor, so I don't need that much foot protection, but I may wear them anyway. Or maybe I'll wear the logo Docs. I dunno, I'm sure I'll figure it out, though.

OK, I'm off. I have to hang up all of my laundry, and figure out my shoes for tomorrow.

Byeeeeeee!

I saw the Jimmy Smits NYPD Blue death episode this evening, for the second time. I'm a dork, you know I cried through the whole thing. Yeah, so I have a "thing" for Jimmy Smits. Too bad.

Work tomorrow (Wednesday) at the storage place. I interviewed this evening for a different job, and I forwarded my resume to a local temp service. Hopefully I'll find something else soon. I'm sure I'll wind up telling that woman to fuck off tomorrow/today (Wednesday), so I'll need another job soon.

Nighty!

Ack, I was only at work for about 5 minutes today. First of all I felt like I was coming down with strep throat. Second of all, she was going to send me home anyway due to my shirt and pants. Now remember, this is a self-storage place. I had on Tommy khakis and a white Tommy tuxedo shirt, both pieces purchased from the girl section so it's not like I was dressed like a guy. She states I can't wear that shirt to work, and my pants have to be Dockers and they have to be ironed. Yes, they are brand specific. I told her if they want me to purchase a specific brand they should either furnish the pants, or give me money to buy them. I have to wear Dockers with tennis shoes, a t-shirt (they provide) and a ball cap (provided by them as well). Also, the t-shirt and pants have to be dry cleaned and ironed!!! At least the company will pay for the dry cleaning, but still it's just the whole deal that it's a fucking SELF-STORAGE PLACE!!! I don't have strep throat, but I do have a sinus infection and my thyroid is all screwed up. I am now taking an antibiotic 3 times a day, an expectorant 2 times a day and the following pills one time a day; Bextra, Synthroid and Zyrtek. Darvocet and Ultram are as needed for pain (arthritis sucks!!). I am fucking old and falling apart.

Interview tomorrow evening at 8:30 to be some guy's personal assistant. That would rock!!! I can wear sweats to work if I want, and he pays $12/hr for 25/hrs a week!!! Fucking awesome!!!

I bought the cutest phone today for my room. All of the Joe Boxer stuff is on sale at K-Mart so I broke down and paid $10 for a phone. It's hella cute; yellow with the JB smileys all over it. It even has caller ID!! I bought the new Dove face wash too. If the face products are as good as the shampoo and conditioner, I'll be addicted in no time!!!

I'm feeling better in general, and I feel as though things are changing for the better. That's a nice way to feel.

OK, gotta finish up my laundry then catch Smits on NYPD Blue!!

Byeeeeee!

Louisville is underwater again. Route 44 is closed, as is Route 153. I have no idea how I'm going to get to work tomorrow as it's still raining. Bleh. Speaking of that job, I have a feeling that woman is going to piss me off tomorrow. She had no idea how to use a computer less than a year ago, and she just got her GED two years ago, when she was 53. Yet she tries to tell me how to use a computer. 'Scuse me, but no. I'll probably wind up mouthing off and getting canned, but I'm not putting up with any shit from any employer. My last two jobs I went way above and beyond my job description, and was treated like crap at both places. No more favors from Lisa.

I have a headache and am going to bed.

Bleh! Giant Eagle hasn't had those wings for 3 freakin days!! Have more food!

I golfed yesterday and today (Friday and Saturday) and learned something very important. I suck at golf. OK, maybe whacking the hell out of balls a'la driving range style isn't technically golf, but I still suck at it. I'm only good when tee-ing off on a baseball field with a number 3 wood into a strong wind. Don't ask.

On the way home tonight, about 5-7 miles from my house, I got behind a drunk person. How do I know they were drunk? OK, it was 2:35AM and they had just pulled out of a bar parking lot. Plus they were going 20MPH in a 40MPH zone which is usually more like a 50-55 zone (most of us who drive through that zone a lot just ignore the speed limit). I went to pass them (doing 40-tops) and they swerved to the left. Crackheads. People like that are on the roads, yet the cops are too busy giving out $86 tickets for not having a rear license plate light to arrest asses like that. Go figure.

Um yeah, the LeBaron has started acting up again. If the temp is over 70 degrees outside, and I go over 50MPH, the car overheats. So if you see me sputtering down the highway going 50MPH, cut me some slack as my car is a piece of shit. I still haven't taken my ass to the title bureau for my GTI. I really, really need to have that done this coming week. I get off work at 5:30, so I should be able to make it to the Massillon AAA office by 6:30. I hope.

I went a little nutty at Gabe's on Friday night and purchased 8 more pairs of Sanuk sandals, bringing my total to 11 pairs. I could not pass up brand new/tags still attached Sanuk sandals for $1.10!!!!!! Yes, $1.10. One pair was actually .70!!!! Deals like that just beg to be taken advantage of. And the coolest part was most of the sandals were size 5 and 6; must have been my lucky day! Other than that, Gabe's sucked. I did buy a pair of comfy soccer shorts for $3 and the cutest t-shirt for $4. It's white with a British flag on the front, and over the flag it says something like "I find you revolting". Very cute, and will rock out very much with my British flag Docs. Yessssssss.

OK, I'm falling asleep so it's off to bed for me.

Nighty!!!!

Christ in a taxicab, people need to stop with this shit at 9:30AM!!! The landlord is next door banging on the walls of the townhouse, and the carpet cleaning guys are here too. Can't a person fucking sleep? Jesus!!!!

Since I'm up, I guess I'll retrieve some hot wings from Giant Eagle. Bleh!!!

Morons!!

More ways to jack up your PC, coming soon with AOL 9.0

OK, the rental car is rented for the TON Cincy show. I did tell the rental lady the wrong days, though, so I need to call her back tomorrow morning to correct it. The Cincy show is on August 5th, not August 8th. Duh!!

Finally, after 2 freaking hours, I got the hood up on my GTI. I totally don't need to replace the hood release cable as it's sooooo easy to get the hood up on that car. I felt so dumb once I figured it out. I had the damn grille out and everything. Suffice it to say I can have the hood up in 10 seconds or less, without the hood release lever. I did feel quite handy when I figured it out all on my own!!!

I'm finally getting the GTI legal plates tomorrow/today (Friday). I didn't do that when he was at the doctor because I couldn't see splashing out the funds for a car I couldn't drive. That mentality got me a $5 late filing fee, so here's a breakdown of the total: $5 regular title fee, $5 late filing fee and $35.75 tax for a grand total of $45.75. Plates will be another $10 or so as I'm not transferring my custom plates until my birthday at the end of September (23rd to be exact; cards and gifts are appreciated). I'll purchase new plates for 2 months. Woohoo!! I also remembered I have two free oil change coupons that I have to use by the end of the year. Fuck George and his incompetent assed self. He's not getting his grubby little mits on my GTI ever again!!! OK, that's enough of that.

I start my new job Monday morning at 8:30AM and I'll work all of next week, Monday-Friday, from 8:30AM-5:30PM with a half hour for lunch. My regular schedule is 2 measly days a week, 8:30-5:30!! Nice, yes?

I need to call Glenville in the morning regarding readmission for Fall semester. I need to know how much, if any, aid I'll receive. If I get $6,000 or over I'm going back to Glenville on August 27. If not, I guess I'll keep working. I so hope I receive enough financial aid!!! Working sucks!! Not really, but I'd much rather be in school; I like learning.

Hot damn, the Domino's Pizza plaza about 2 miles from my house has Pepsi Blue in the vending machine. I am so excited!! I love that stuff and can't find it anywhere. Woohoo!

Only 2-3 more episodes before Smits dies in NYPD Blue. Then what shall I do for my nightly Smits fix?? Argh!!

OK, I really need to do laundry if I expect to have any clothes to wear this weekend. OK, so I'll have clothes to wear, but they won't be my favorite clothes. Big difference.

Nighty!!!

Woohoo, I will see Type O one week from today in Cleveland!! I can't wait. Then the Cincy show on August 8th. Yay me!!

I went to George's today, and he's pulling some shit regarding the gas in the oil situation. He's claiming he had nothing to do with it, but my injectors may need adjusted. So I can see it now; I'm going to take my car over on the 30th and he's going to try and charge me another arm to adjust the injectors. I'm going to have a little conversation with him today (Thursday) and find out what he plans on doing, and how much he plans on charging me. If he plans on charging me anything, I'm telling him to shove it. I can take it to Kempthorn VW, have the oil changed for $20 and be done with it. Besides, they are VW techs so I trust them a lot more!!

I still can't wear my hair down, and it'll probably be 6 months before I can. Fucking shit!

All right, I'm off.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not spening my own money. Jess has me on a mission for Frankie B's at Gabe's and you know I'm gonna hook her up!!!!

Woohoo, finally my boots are selling!! I've sold 3 pairs in the last 24 hours with one more pair possibly selling as well. Things may be looking up, if only I had all of my hair. Fucking cunt!!!

OK, I'm off to shower then it's off to Gabe's for the second day in a row. I've got shopping to do!!!

I went for my drug test today, no big deal. It quickly became a big deal when the bitch cut off a huge hunk of my hair. I was under the impression that they had to pull 5-6 strands, with the root included. Oh no, silly me. The bitch cut a gob of my hair off, right at the top of my head. Now I have a bald spot. You think I'm kidding? I'll upload the photo as soon as I get new batteries for my digi cam. As soon as I saw her with a fistfull of my hair I started bawling right there in the office. She DID NOT tell me she was cutting my hair until after she fucking cut it. Had I known, I would have refused the "procedure". No job is worth that shit. I know, it's just fucking hair. But not to me. My hair is my pride, and she fucked it up. I come to find out I wasn't even supposed to have the "hair test"; I was supposed to have the "pee test". The only thing I can do is go back in there and bitch. It won't do anything productive, but it will make me feel better. I totally cannot wear my hair down at all. This is such fucking bullshit. It took me forever to get my hair that long, and now it's all fucked up.

I did get a Care Bears comforter today, and another pair of Sanuk sandals, but that's so trivial now that my hair is gone.

Hey kids, I finally uploaded my new GTI pics. There are photos from all angles, and they're pretty good too!!! I have one of the photos on my blog, and the others I'll have linked from my webpage. If I'm feeling nice I'll link them from here too.

OK, that's it for now.

Swenson's here I come!!!

Bleh.

Fucking morons. I've had 6 guys IM me within the last hour "wanting to chat". Now my profile says not to bother me, yet they still do. And people wonder why the Internet gets a bad rep.

On the GTI front...There is gas in the oil because George got fuel in the oil when he was fucking with my fuel system. The guy at Clarke VW, and the guy at Kempthorn VW, told me that when they do fuel system work, especially what my car needed, they always change the oil. They both told me to call George and tell him I wanted a free oil change since he got gas in the oil. I did call George and he told me to bring it in next week. He also claimed the emergency brake doesn't work due to the rear calipers. Full of shit he is!! I've learned my lesson and will no longer take my GTI to anyone other than the VW dealer. Yes, I'll pay a lot more, but at least it'll be fixed right and in a good amount of time.

Going to the Wink's and Brunswick car shows tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon/evening. Rock out.

Nighty.

Bah, it just never stops with me. I went out this evening to check the GTI's oil level and the fucking oil smells like gas. The oil looks fine, nice and amber colored, but it still smells like gas. I don't know if that's because the fuel stuff was just replaced or what, but I am going to call George in the morning (Friday) as my oil did not smell like gas prior to him fucking with the fuel system. He also needs to fix the damn emergency brake that was supposed to be fixed the last time he had it. I've had the car 8 weeks total, and he's been in the shop 6.5 of those weeks. Nice, yes?

Got a job today! I have to take my drug test and have my background check, then I can start. The only thing my background check will find is a bunch of speeding tickets!!! I rock!

Needless to say, I'm not in the best of moods due to George fucking up my baby. However, the Baron ran quite well today. No overheating hissy fits or anything else bad. I was shocked.

OK, I'm going to bed.

I should be in a good mood, but instead I'm in a crabby mood. I drove my car around for over an hour today and he ran great. I got home and the oil light briefly came on as I was pulling in the driveway. I parked him for about 45 minutes, came outside to move him and there was oil underneath him. I really have no idea how he's leaking oil as all of the seals have been replaced, the oil filter is new and so are the sending units. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I got a job today, and was called for another interview at an optometrist office. I start my new job on Monday, but it's only 24 hours a week at $9/hr. The optometrist office is 35 hours a week at $10/hr. Plus he'll train me to be an assistant. I dunno what I'm gonna do, but most likely go with the higher paying position as he provides paid medical and optical insurance as well as a 25% pension plan (he pays 25% of my yearly salary into a pension plan for me; I pay nothing). I'm just happy to finally have a job again.

Since I'm feeling so crabby, I'm going to bed.
