1. I got a promotion.
This is both good and bad.
Promotion way better than the opposite. And I still have a job, which is also a bonus during these uncertain times, I suppose.
But we also know mo' money = mo' problems, according to the late, great Notorious BIG. But I'll have to deal with it.

2. I finished paying off my car.
The one I origingally bought for my mom, who later decided that she preferred an Accord (and who can blame her - her car is awesome). But it worked out cuz I needed a vehicle to take with me to Texas, so no hard feelings mom <3.
Anyways, it only took 3.5 years to pay it off. Woot.

3. Baby sister is graduating.
This is a little bit of a reality check. She's the baby. W...T.. Snapple. Go back to the little girl that I used to know. kthx.
Anywho, so I'll be in San Diego for the weekend of June 14th.
Will it be ok to once again crash at your house, ArWells?

cuz I don't feel any different. Except instead of being able to drink legally, I'm now able to vote.

I wish I was turning 21 again. I'm old...

...is what I named my farm in Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness.

Yes. Island of Happiness! (Although right now, it's more like Island of Rocks, dirt and weeds - but I'm working on that). Anyway, I've had the game for two days and I already <3 it completely. I wake up in the morning (in game) and I tend to the crops, run into town and talk to the folks, all along the way, picking up random stuff I can ship off for cash (I'm saving for a chicken coop!), and then get to bed before it gets too late. Sound boring, right? WRONG :D One day MyDamn Ranch will be the bestest ranch in the land, and I'll have cows and sheep, and a large rice paddy and I can't remember what else I can grow, but I'll have it!

Oh, and because I pre-ordered the game, it camee with this:


I can't get myself to take them out of the bag, yet. Dilemma.

...to focus

...to achieve some sort of consistency

...to not flip out or snap

...to figure out what it is that I'm looking for

...with being at work =/

By Say Anything

When I watch you. Wanna do you, right where you're standing. Yeah...
Right on the foyer, on this dark day. Right in plain view. Oh yeah...
Of the whole ghetto, the boot-stomped meadows. But we ignore that. Yeah...
You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, I won't let you down. Oh no, no...

No, I won't let them take you. Won't let them take you. Hell no, no...
Oh no, I won't let them take you. Won't let them take you. Hell no, no...
No, oh no, no, no...

And when our city, vast and shitty, falls to the Axis. Yeah...
They'll search the buildings, collect gold fillings, wallets, and rings. Oh yeah...
But Miss Black Eyeliner, you'd look finer with each day in hiding. Oh yeah...
Beneath the wormwood, oooooh, love me so good.
They won't hear us screw away the day.
I'll make you say:

“Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight.”
(No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you. Hell, no no...)

“Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight.”
(Whoa. No, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you. Hell no, no...)

Our Treblinka is alive with the glory of love.
Treblinka, alive with the glory of love! Yeah!

(Ok, speed it up. Go!)

Should they catch us and dispatch us to those separate work camps.
I'll dream about you, I will not doubt you with the passing of time. Oh yeah.
Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets. Yeah.
I'll know my purpose: this war was worth this. I won't let you down.

No, I won’t. No, I won’t. No, I won’t.

(Alive! Alive! Alive with love, alive with love tonight...)
Hell no, no…Whoa, no, I won't let them take you, won't let them take you. Hell, no, no.
No! No!

I hate that feeling.

I'm at this point right before I fall fully into sleep, and 'dream' that I'm walking or ascending some stairs, and suddenly lose my footing and I'm jarred awake with this sense that I fell and had to catch myself with my arms... in bed. Does that happen to anyone else?

Subconscious trying to tell me something? Just another meaningless, random, recurring vision?

Eh, who knows.

I hate not having control.

how the hell did that happen?

our game went into beta. are you playing it? if not, why?

there's a new girl in the office, and she's really pretty. make it stop.

thank you so much for not losing game three. that would have made me look bad.

it's been a good 11 months out here so far. except now it's hot. i hate it when it's hot.

I don't know what it is about going to see Radiohead and driving long distances, but I've only seen them live twice, and both times ended up with me driving 400+ miles... (SD > SF, and now Austin > Dallas).

But dammit, if it isn't worth it.

Also, if you don't want me to get into an accident, do not put the girl with the prettiest eyes in the middle seat. Everytime I looked in the rearview mirror, it was like having someone blind me with their highbeams... only greener, and more intoxicating. :P

Oh, and when did it become fashionable to buy $40 dollar concert shirts? OK, they were made of recycled plastic. Neat. Not $40 dollars neat. Sorry Rodeohead.

I don't have much to say. Still at work, and it's now 8(ish).
Busy and bored at the same time. How does THAT work?

But this picture makes it ok. It also represents how I'm currently feeling.

are hard to ignore... o_O 

I have a love/hate relationship with my phone.  Or maybe it's the plan I hate.  Or the amount I'm paying for it.

I have like four total bills I have to pay monthly.  How the hell did I manage to pay one late!?

Why can't you guys put together a consistent winning streak?  I'd like to witness at least one more World Series championship before I die. Plez!

How come I never noticed these annoying advertisements before?  Is it because I'm posting more often?

I hate diet sodas.  But Splenda is so good.  And anything is better with Beam.

I wish I could drink at work.  Cuz anything is better with Beam.

Mmm... bourbon.  I have a flask. Why don't I use it?  Crown sounds good, too.

Now that I've been doing the whole spelling words without vowels thing for a while, I don't understand why the letter 'Y' is the lone ambiquity.
This isn't really a new thought. But I do want to know now.  Who decided this?  Why isn't "Y" *just* a consonant?

Whi do we not simplee tipe this wai instead?

 Of course, now that I've made a conscious effort to post more, I got nothing.

I like my new mood theme though. Foxy.

Oh, and my new threadless shirts arrived.  I can push doing laundry back three more days! 

Don't tell me I'm missing the point, when you don't bother to read the entire fucking email, and respond with "I don't understand why it necessitated such a lengthy defense".  The multi-syllabic word did not make you sound smarter.  

I swear the Dilbert factor exists in every workplace.  

I guess my underlings must think I'm an idiot, too.

Yum. Strawberry Special K bars.  If only they didn't come in a large pink box... 

Also, I need to stop buying threadless.  As of 3.20.08, I've now spent $145.86.
Why do the things I love so much hurt me the most?  :P
