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.

That is all.

Whee

Got a new cell phone today. It's an Audiovox 8910 with a camera, woo! That's why I've relinked my moblog on the sidebar. Yay, camera phones rule.

That is all.

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.

That is all.

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.

Nope

Yep

Just for High School choir, and never a solo.

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.)

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.

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.)

#23 Do you watch mtv?
Not since 1990 or so.

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.

Bah

Truly, is this neccessary? A fucking server in our dining room, doubling as a table for Mountain Dew.

Gah.

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.

That is all.

-----

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.

That is all.

EMAIL CHANGE

Apparently my Mom canceled her SBC DSL account and forgot to mention it to me. My TypeONegative@sbcglobal.net address isn't active; use TypeONegative@gmail.com instead.

That is all.

Tuesday, September 20, 2005

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.

That is all.

Wednesday, September 07, 2005

Blargh

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?

That is all.

Happy Anniversary To Me

I've been blogging for three years.

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.

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.

Monday, August 22, 2005

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.

That is all.

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.

Goobledeegook

Lets play Guess What Part Failed and Left Lisa Stranded:
Blah
It was fixed today and the car is fine once again.

Digital cable with a DVR is the best thing ever.

My pooper.net mail is down, as is my SBC mail. Nice, huh?

More tomorrow.

That is all.

*Updated* For all of those who guessed the alternator, gold star.

Saturday, August 20, 2005

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.

That is all.

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.

I found this photo of Barb and Lord_Kanan from the Metal Steve benefit:


That is all.

Scary Men

For your weekly dose of scary as fuck:

David Coverdale looks like a chick


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.

That is all.

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.

That is all.

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.

Monday, August 15, 2005

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?

The goldfish wasn't in bed last night when I laid down. That damned goldfish was looking for porn on the Internet. Don't believe me?

Bad goldfish!!

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.

That is all.
