I start new classes tonight... Another work-at-your-own-pace algebra classes. NOT looking forward to it... So I'm updating this now while I'm alone drinking coffee. God, I love this iphone!
Saw Pineapple Express this weekend. It was funny. Started reading a book, Stranger in a Strange Land. It's badass. I think I'll do more of that now!

ssshhhhhew
I'm in class now, and the internet connection sucks. I was on popcap.com playing games, but I think I've exhausted all of them. I was googling for other games sites, but oh em gee, it was loading so FREAKING slow... I decided to get on iloveim.com to talk to some people, but hardly anyone I know uses AIM anymore... I only know 3 people on MSN, and one of them is in class with me right now, so that's pointless...
Yeah, so I decided to update this loverly blog thing I have here.
Nothing new is going on around here. Still jobless. I did, however, go back to the gym today after almost a month. The last time I went was the day the perk closed. =\
It felt good. I could nearly feel my thighs deteriorating after not standing for at leas 6 hours a day. Gaw, what a long weekend I'm having =P Since I started working there almost 4 years ago, I don't think I've taking more time off than holiday weekends. =P It's getting kind of old... And even though I greatly appriciate the whole unemployment check every week... It's so not nearly enough. Thank the universe that I have such a wonderful, employed, boyfriend to help me out. =D
I'm waiting to see what my friend's job says... Apparently I'll at the least have an interview.
Stage works didn't even call me back. I had such high hopes for that place too. Oooohhh well. =\
One of my teachers suggested I do a "work study" with the school. That'll give me 8 bucks an hour... Apparently the hours are only for afternoons. That would be a nice start. I would totally rather be working full time... Right now I'll go for anything that's paying me more than unemployment is. =\ If I were working a 35 hour work week, I'd technically be making $4.25/hr right now. Ouch! But yes, much appriciated.
I'm not totally screwed right now though... True, I'm almost utterly broke after my part of the bills, but I'm not in the negative! And I have kept a little of my money for school if I need it.
Last year after fileing for financial aid, I needed to pay over $3,000 that it didn't cover... Someone passed some kind of something this January stating that students can borrow $2,000 in their own name, and since I'm passing so many credits by August 11th, I can borrow another $1,000 leaving me only needing to pay $69.05 for this year. Score! Cuz that's totally money I do NOT have right now. =\ I have to file one more time... In February.
I think it's funny that I got myself into the position to where I need to fill out for 3 years of financial aid for my 18 month school career. =P
Le sigh... We're on our 3rd break since 5:30. I just want to gooo freaking home. There's pizza there for me. Mmm, left over pizza is the best.
Does anyone even read this?

wonderous music
I've been highly annoyed at how my ipod and iphone organized my songs... In my music folder, I have them organized beautifully; Artist-Song. They were ALL organized like that. What did they do on my ipod? Some were like I had named them, some were just the song, some where "untitled" or "Track 01." I soon learned that I had to go into the properties of each song and give them a title. Yes, they were organized by the unobvious title as opposed to the name.
So I have spent 2 days going into every mp3 I downloaded and gave/changed the titles.
But then all the songs from the CDs I had imported were unchangeable. Whuuu? So after much research online, I found Tag&Rename, a wonderful program. I then again was able to go in, song by song, and give them titles.
And now my iphone and ipod won't die horrible deaths from not being ordered correctly.
Being jobless, this is what I get to spend my time worrying about. Ha!

class time yet again
Got to eat lunch with Brandon, Waldo, Jes, and Heath & Shayne! We of course ate at the Tap Room, avoiding the Ham-Ass-Face... Oh, she was around...
Any way... Went to Sam's, bought a massive amount of beer for tomorrow's festivites, got an extra boost of coffee, then got my car to come here.
I ordered a seat belt buckle so that I could make one of those trendy seat belt belts. I got a nice rainbow straps =D I love rainbows. I told the lady on ebay that I didn't need a belt... But she sent me a black one anyway.
I was going to try to find an Oldsmobile emblemed one, but I think they just used standard GM ones in almost every GM car. Ooohh well, works for me. I ALMOST bought a Viper one, but they were all expensive.
This one is nice and used... And the GM is going to be sideways since it's a real buckle.
Anyway... Enough about all that.
I love my iPhone. The battery life super sucks though... It would last longer if I turned the 3G off on it, but why would I want to do that? =P
I'm silly.

mind hurt
I'm in programming class. I can't bring myself to pay attention to the poor guy. He's really nice... I guess I just don't mix well with his teaching style? I'm sure teaching this crap is hard.
I can't even pay attention enough to learn it.
I mean, I taught myself some HTML, and that was a hell of a lot easier than all these "if-thens" and crap. I don't understand the pattern. I need patterns for stuff like this.
Well I typed up a bunch of HTML and it's totally not allowed. Oh well.
I think class is over now.
Bye!

haHA
There's a guy up here at stonewolf updating his blogger... So I decided that I should as well. I've been up here since probably 11... I have caught up with people I haven't seen in a while online, and a couple people have come up here that used to frequent my work.
It's been a loverly day. We've sat outside in the hotness, smoking cigarettes and what-not.
I really have to poop now though, and I don't like having to do it in public. Bleck.
I'm drinking a deeeelicious mudslide shake. It has coffee in it. Probably contributing to my need to poop. =P Since it is my second coffee drink.

ho, ho!
I'm sick and on cold medicine so I thought I would make a nice and fun blog.
I woke up yesterday with one of those horrible chest cold things, complete with lung butter. Yes, lung butter. Needless to say, it's taken me 2 days to finish half a pack of smokes. Whoo, doggy.
This is only my third one ever... And the other 2 times it's made me quit smoking. Time to do this again!
But since I've been jobless, I've been able to sleeeeeep, sleep! I only stayed for 2 hours of class last night, got some Tacy Hell, stayed up until about midnight, then went to bed... Until 1 this afternoon! HA!
What did I do after that? I went to CVS, got some char-fucks coffee in a bottle, and went over to Jes' house. Yey, people! Heath was over there. I finally got to see his house.
Looks like Drews, but cleaner. =D Got to see the doggies. Heath played me some funny videos that they had made over the years. It was good times.
I left there at 4:30, went home, took more medicine, made a bagel and some green tea, and came to class.
The green tea is for through-out the night, and the bagel is for when I get hungry! I was starving by the time I got out of class yesterday, so much that I made Brandon take me to Taco Bell instead of cooking. He's going to cook some chicken alfredo noodly stuff tonight. Mmmm. =D
All I've had today was cereal. I don't think my tummy likes me anymore. Coffee and green tea, whoo! Oh yeah, and Heath gave me a beer. Probably not the best with cold medicine, but it was only one. =D
Class in 8 minutes. I'm going to find a nice game to play. Maybe that fun one Kevin showed me on adult swim dot com. =P

down with the bean!
The first date was July 22nd for last day of operation. She needed to be out by August 9th.
Then to date moved to July 12th, why? That's between god and the crazy lady.
So we started yesterday, being excited that it was the last monday we'd ever have to work there. Jes and I went through the shift, said goodbye to our monday morning business group, thanked whatever imaginative being rules this earth that we never have to see them again, ended our shift, and went to the gym.
We started out on separate sides of the gym for a while. I went to join her on her side, and she says, "The shop is dead." Say WHUUU?
What where my first emotions? Hysterical joy. I thought it was hilarious! I cut my gym time short, even though I had almost been there an hour anyway... And went back to work to fill out my time card for that day.
"New information had come to light," or some shit like that "And today will be our last day." Ok, crazy lady. That's cool.
Off to the bar we go!! It's cool though, cuz yesterday morning I had relieved the shop of some trash bags. I love trash bags.
I left one roll, which is more than enough to clean out that shop.
Jes said all the furniture was gone when she picked her car up this morning. Hmm. I guess all the things I put on hold are gone now. Oh well.
How do I feel about the whole thing? After putting 4 years of my life into that place? Sad? Depressed? No... I don't feel anything. I woke up this morning like it was any other Saturday that I didn't have to work.
Yeah, I'm never going to be able to work with those people again. We had fun. We were able to do things at that job that we'll never be able to do again. For some reason, a long, long time ago... I decided that that place was never ever worth my emotions. After being yelled at by Brock, and yelled at by Rusty to the point of wanting to cry and go home... After training 3 bosses and being shat on... I decided I would never feel bad for that place, ever.
And it worked. I could care less that I'm jobless right now. Eh.
It just sucks that I'll have to go to a different place to get coffe that's going to suck a lot.
I really hope I can still get that grinder. =\ I'm going to take my check book with me friday. I have my hopes set on a booth, a table, 2 chairs, and a grinder. =D
Now I relax and wait for a call from Stageworks.

damnedness
So my work is closing withing the next 3 weeks. Maybe tomorrow. The owner is flakey and keeps changing the date.
Luckily I have an interview tomorrow. Hopefully that'll work out.
The goddamn cats keep eating through cables around the house. First my ipod cord, then started on Brandon's laptop cord... Then through his 360 controller cable... And now my laptop cord is unusable. It blew sparks at me when I unplugged it. Fucking a.
They've never done this before, and I don't know what to do about it. =\
Any way... I've been finding all of my online profiles and deleting them for the past week. I've killed 2 DeadJournals, 2 or 3 LiveJournals, 2 forums, my yahoo accounts, okcupid, and some dieting site.
Feels good. I was trying to decide if I want to kill ebay and paypal... But they have multi-uses.
Well, my laptop is about to die... Don't know when I'll be on again =(

I'm so loving this ipod. I never thought I would... Cuz I didn't wanna be one of "those" people. Oh well... Right now I'm taking all the CDs (that i never listen to because of mp3's and the radio) and puttin' 'em on my ipod!!
I never realized how big 4gigs really was... Takes about 1,000 to fill it up. Wee! I have less than 500 on it now, and I don't have that many CDs... So it should all work out =)

hidee ho!
this morning i did a 7 - 12 shift... now i'm back for a 6 - 10 shift!! yeah, gotta love splits. although, it probably won't be until 10. we're slack, the business is almost nil, and yeah. it's friday and we want to go home. so on my time off today, i hung out with tim, visited rock n roll, went and got bailie, took her to the bank, brought her back to work to hang out, spent 20 minutes trying to get to the beltline through traffic, took her home, and came back to work. excellent.
brandon got me an ipod nano last weekend. i don't know if i mentioned this or not. i think i did though. well, the cats ate my cable yesterday. bitches. luckily me and brandon went to wal-mart last night and found a cheap one. it was a knock-off, on sale. it had the usb cable, and also had a car charger for the cable to plug in to. 16 bucks, bitches. =)
i used it last night and my ipod froze! i thought it was frozen, but then i was pretty sure it was when the screen didn't change all the way to work. i had to get online and find out how to reset it since they don't come with those cool holes to push a pin into. oh well. all is good now.
i'm not sure what's going on tonight. me and shanye are working. no one else is here. bailie and jason are going out of town, and tex is also out of town. haven't seen randy for a while. heath and drew have already left. time is still hanging out though. yey!
maybe i'll online job-hunt... and fix my resume some more.

So Lane Bryant has these awesome pants called Right Fit. They rock my world, and now I have dress pants to interview in. YEY!
Ok, that's all.

Well since I'm updating, I guess you know I'm in class. I came to class early to finish up homework I didn't get done. She always gives us time at the beginnig of class, but I like to have it done before everyone else gets in there. We like to chat and not get anything done. I guess I was being a bit distracing because she dismissed me to "go play on the computer, or something." So I'm in the computer lab next door. Checked my e-mail, got caught up on my little bloggers.
Does anyone know how to get e-mail notification when someone leaves a comment on a blog?
Oh well. I'm really dreading going back next door. Our powerpoint presentations are due today. I'm not as nervous as I usually am though. It's a really small class in a small room. Excellent. I'm very comfortable in there too, and I'm not worried about looking stupid in front of any of them. Wee!
It's my psychology class. I think it's been one of my favorite so far. =D I did my project on Sleep Deprivation. Yey. I think it's only like 9 or 10 slides.
So Thursday is the last day for this term... Which is silly... We'll start new classes on Monday, then we're off for a week starting after our Thursday class. WTF? I don't know... So we're going to have 4 days of classes, 2 days for each class, then we're going to disappear until the 14th. Awesome. o_O
Any way... Brandon bought me an ipod. I sent him out on a cat supply run, and he comes back, "I bought you an ipod whether you like it or not. I'm going through iphone withdrawl and I need music for my trip tomorrow. Then you can have it." How am I going to argue with that? I put all my music from my computer on it, and it's not even half full. Yowsa! He sold his iphone the weekend before they put out the price for the new one. He sold it for $400, the new one is only going to be $200. Ouch. =P
Good thing he's a tech geek. =)
I temporarily bought a new phone on a whim. It was cute and tiny like my old one... Then decided 2 days later it just wasn't as awesome as my old phone. In so many ways. Put it up on Ebay, sold it, and now the douche bag is complaining about it. "There's a scratch on the back. AT&T said the SIM card is a fake and it won't work," blah, blah, blah. I included the SIM card with the phone, that came with the phone. I bought a pre-paid so I could just pop my SIM card in it. I didn't even dis-connect the SIM from the little creditcard lookin' thing it comes in.
He sent a claim to PayPal... He wants a full refund. WELL... I had the option to "resolve the claim" if I wanted to, but since I know damned well that thing should work, I went ahead and sent the claim to PayPal's "claim center." They're going to look at the facts in the argument and see what to do about it.
Humph.
Well back to class for me!

It's amazing that even after years of sparce contact, the people who impacted your lives (both good and bad) the most will still come to see you.

Well then...
So I came into class 45 minutes early to finish my homework... And then what happens? She gives us 40 minutes of class time to finish it. Ha! Oh well... That just means that I get an extended break to go off and write this fantasic blog!
Since I went down to GA I gained those 3 wonderful pounds back... I've kind of fluctuated between those lbs since then. Oh well.
Saw my trainer today. He royally kicked my ass, of course. We did arms today. By the end of it I couldn't drink out of my water bottle due to not being able to lift it that high. Let's just say that undressing and redressing weren't the easiest of tasts either.
And neither was driving back up to work. Bah! But I have kept myself well hydrated so maybe I'll be able to move tomorrow.
Then again, it usually hits me 2 days later rather than the next day.
Hmmph.
Thursday I'll be inducted into the National Honor Society.
Friday is my free luau at Rum Runners.
Eventful week!
What else can I update on... I think I'm going to, once again, re-apply to iNC. Whoo! Maybe I'll get a responce this time.

I love snakes
One day I was walking around and this snake jumped up and bit me!
"Hey, Mr. Snake..." I said "...What the FUCK are you doing?"
To which the snake replied, "Sorry miss, but you seemed to have stepped on my tail. Biting is simply an involuntary reaction."
"Well, Mr. Snake, now I'm going to have to go to the hospital and get horrible shots to make sure I don't lose my foot.:"
"Again, miss, I am terribly sorry. I am just a little creature of nature and I cannot help what I am programmed to do!"
I ran inside to let my parents know what had happened, and they just sit in the other room and mumble "oks" and "uh huhs." My sister had to go inform them that I actually had been bitten and they should come tend to me.
They mosey along into the kitchen where I sat, on the computer chair, clutching my foot so that the swelling wouldn't go any further.
My dad stands there looking at it for a minute and says, "Well... Go get in the car..."
I grab my shoes, because I had been bare foot in the driveway, and then hop to the car, immediately getting back into the foot clutching position.
Father-dear takes the time to get a shovel, go kill the poor snake, go back inside, get a tupperware, put the snake in it, and finally we go to the hospital.
So when we get there, we of course go to the wrong enterance first... I hop back to the car, then we get to the pediatric ward. We have to fill out information, then they finally wheel me to a room.
My dad shows the nurses the snake, and of course they scream. They were surprised I was laughing the whole time and wasn't crying.
Durring my stay there, they moved me between 3 rooms, and used 2 nurses to poke me 3 times to get in 1 IV. I kept calmly saying, "Ow." Everytime the dim-wit poked me and couldn't get a vein. She tried the backs of both of my hands before the more compitant nurse came in. She tried my hand once, wanted to stick it in my foot, to which I replied, "Uh, no..." So she finally got a vein in my arm, which always seemed like the most logical place to me...
They took 2 vials of blood, gave me a tetnus shot, and a morphone shot (which did no good.) "Tell us if the pain doesn't go away!" And of course, I did... Multiple times... And never got anymore...
Every hour they marked on my leg where the poison had gone. It didn't stop until it reached half-way up my thigh. It was a baby copperhead that had bitten me... Which is worse than a full grown one since they release all their venom when they strike... =\
They didn't give me any anti-venom since it would have made me sicker than the venom itself.
And sick I was... For about a week and a half. I had to keep my leg propped up. If I stood, my foot throbbed. I would sit on a pillow and scoot around my house. It's safe to say I didn't shower for a week.
There's a quarter sized scar on my foot from where the tissue around the bite died, scabbed, and fell off. It was nice and deep. It finally fell off that summer in the ocean. Oh what fun it was.
This month marks the 8 year anniversary of my bite. It's my only hospital story, and it is by far my most favorite scar. If you look in my tattoo photos, you'll see it.
I have loved snakes since I can remember... I've always played with them in the yard, caught them, whatever. Even after that incident, I still walked outside bare foot, still caught snakes, and still have been struck at. FYI: snakes don't like Mountain Dew, and DON'T like being pushed in a pool, scooped out, and hit with a plastic tube...
I was almost as fast as that sucker, and it barely broke the skin. Lucky for me. It wasn't poisonous though. Heh... But it sure was big.
Well, I hope you liked my story!

uh oh
We found a coffee shop!! They were closed, so I got my lsp top out to see if they had wi-fi. Sat down on the bench, and the owners were in here eating. They opened the door and insisted we come inside. Made us coffee and sandwiches. Awesome. The place is called Cup of Karma. Sweeeet.

ah ha!
Had to look at my blog to re-cap what I said last time... So, since joining the gym last week, I have lost 3 lbs. I'll have to say... Putting on a t-shirt and looking at yourself in the mirrors there are NOT a good idea. I think they're slighly convexed so that you look bigger than you are. It's quite depressing actually. I mean, I could have it backwards, and every other mirror I look in could be slight concaved... Whatever...
Yeah, 3 lbs! Pretty good. I've seen a trainer 3 times, not counting the initial one where the hot guy I want to bang did my fitness evaluation. Every time I'd gotten my ass utterly kicked... Today has horrid leg work-outs that makes me never want to look at a stair again. Oh well... If I want to get to my goal, I gotta keep it up! If I were to keep up with the 3 lbs/week, then I'll be where I need to be in about 30 weeks. Not bad, not bad. Less than a year =)
Then the major challenge will be to keep it off. Whoopie!
Today ended another term at school. It's going by so fast! I like it.
Tomorrow I'm going on a trip... A trip of mental strength and will. I'm going to see my dad's parent's in GA. I don't mind that. I haven't seen them in 2 years... I mind the 7 hour ride down there... In a car with my mom and dad. I can deal with my dad. I can tune him out. He's never said anything to me that has dug itself into my mind to the point where I want to kill him. My mom will be a challenge. Why? Well a year and a half ago I told her how much I hated her, how horrible of a person she was, and why she ruined my life. There was no contact with her for a couple months, then some awkward encounters, then we try to interact like nothing ever happened... And I have to be in a very small space with her for about 7 hours down... And 7 hours back on Monday. Oi! Of course, I could always ride back with Bailie and Jason, who are following in their own car. Heh.
Luckies. Another concern of mine is... The sleeping arrangment. After a while, mom stopped going down there with us, me and Bailie would share a bed, and dad got his own room... But now, with Bailie, Jason, and the baby... I'm sure they're going to share a room... Maybe mom and dad will share a room... I'm hoping mom won't be sharing a room with me. Ugh... Weirdness.
Although, I don't know how much the house has changed with my uncle living where ever, my cousin living where ever, and my other cousin having died last year. There were 3 bedrooms, 1 master for my grandparents (the room they usually gave up to me and Bailie), a room with 1 bed (where my dad slept), and then the other room having 2 beds. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
I'm going to be the only one down there with no "partner." I thought about that today. At least I don't have the horrible anxiety anymore that I used to. I loved going down there. I never wanted to come back home... Then I hit an age where family was stupid and I only wanted to be around my friends... Especially after I was cheated on by my "first" while I was down there. He didn't tell me for 4 months, and then SHE was the one to tell me about it... Blah, blah... Lost all faith in men, blah, blah, they're all pigs, and so on and so forth.
Now I am with a guy I trust full-heartedly and don't think he'll do anything stupid behind my back. Since I'm older, I think such offenses would result in castration by mental lazer beams. Or at least a sever beat-down... I'm not anxious about leaving tomorrow, I'm actually looking forward to it, besides the mother aspect...
Yeah! Good times.

north raleigh yuppies
So yeah... I decided to join the 50% of north raleigh yuppies that have a stupid Peak Fitness card on their key chain. That's right! I joined a gym. Jeseca goes there. I've been thinking about it for a while, and some guy came in today with those stupid free passes you see every where. I took the bait.
The trainer guy said to make a list of goals to bring in tomorrow... My first meeting. Whoo!
So the main goals are: 50lbs by November, an addtional 40lbs by April. Yeah, I have that much to lose to get down to my "recommended" weight set by my doctor. Whoopdie-doo! All in all, I would love to lose 100. I never in my life thought I would say I'm 100 lbs over-weight. That is really ridiculous.
Anyway, wish me luck! Of course I'll keep you all posted =P

slowness
Damned our slowness today... We usually do our Whole Foods for breakfsat, then go out to Stone Wolf for coffee on Sundays since our work is closed... But we decided we needed 12 hours of sleep and didn't get up until nearly 12. =\ Txted Jes, and she said she already left the Wolf. D'oh! Oh well... So we ate, went to Wal-Mart, and now we're at New World cafe waiting on our coffee to be made.
I'm getting something called Heath Crunch. Haha!
And I think I'm starting to bleed... Which would explain my mood the past few days. Thank god! If it starts today, it'll well be over by the beach trip next weekend.

I'm awesome
So I agreed to help a friend move by taking his night-shift. It's been a grouling 5.5 hours. Not because I'm busting my ass around here... Quite the opposite. I think I've maybe helped 3 customers since I got here at 4. These night shifts are quite pointless. I have, however, been able to type up my works cited page and a 1,700 word essay for my english class. The stupid thing is supposed to be 2,000 words... But jesus, I decided to do my paper on the history of coffee... And all the filler-words in the world only got me to 1,700. I think that's damed good. Who cares about where coffee came from anyway? Granted, I wouldn't have had this wonderful job for the past 4 years if that damned goat herder hadn't tried the coffee beans out himself. At lwast I got paid to do my homework. The paper isn't due until the 20th, so I'll surely have time to squat out 300 words. If it hadn't been for today though, lord only knows when I would have actually sat down to type it all out.
Anyway... So I saw Iron Man today. That movie rocked my balls off! If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you should.
So I've done 2 horrible things to myself today. Ok, 3. Me and Brandon when to get some iHOP today. I ate an entire omlete, and the 3 pancakes that go with it. Oi. Then I was too full for coffee, so we went straight to the movie. Bad idea. By the time we got out of the movie, my head was pounding... Then we stepped out into the bright sun-light. Ow. I drove to work and imediately chugged a 3 shot iced snickers. Mmm. 1.5 hours later my head still hurt, so I took 2 Ibuprofin. Yum. Hour after that it still hurt so I drank a Coke. Muuuch better. Brandon came up here and said he wanted Bojangles. So of course, I had him get me a biscuit and fries. iHop, no coffee for hours, and Bojangles. I really would like to die right now! Haha. Ooohhh well.
Hmm, I was going to get online and look for the CSI that my DVR messed up... Got to see 15 minutes of it, then it crapped out. Such a tease... But then I decided to check my mail, e-mail myself the paper to type out, and then update this wonderful contraption!!
I would really like to poop myself right now though. Sounds yummy! After all the crap I've done to myself the past couple days, I should really de-tox. Stupid "time of the month." It makes me want to eat a lot of crap 1.5 weeks before the actual "time." So I'm bloated and waiting to bleed. Oh, the life of a woman.
I wish it hadn't gotten so hot so quick. I was enjoying my walks around shelly. I'm such a pansy for hot sticky weather. I want to move back out west. That's one of my life goals!
Any way... We close in a little over an hour. I think I'll clean the rest of this crap up and close early. Hellz yeah, bitches!

oi!
Well, this blog thing keeps messing up... Let's see if I can get it to work this time!!
So it's Friday... I'm really tired and what-not.
There's whining going on all around me. Whining about ice... Whining about food... Whining about everything! AAHHH!
I just want to go to bed. Sleeeep would do me good.
Ok, so this blog was crappy.

Hi guys!
So I'm in class supposed to be doing something class related until 9:30. BS! That's over 3 hours. I could go home and take a nap. Whoo! I think I'm going to go outside and call Brandon. Maybe he wants to go get some dinner or something. Yeah buddy! Ohh, I just remembered I needed to add something to the paper that I already turned in late. =P Maybe she'll still let me add something to it.

fun day in the land of melly
So my day started early again. Seems like when I don't have to work, I wake up when Brandon does anyway. What did I do? Ate some crackers with peanut butter... Did some laundry... And went to go see my work! Haven't been there since Monday, afterall. That didn't last too long, compaired to usual hanging out time. Got there around 12:00, Brandon came for lunch a little after 1. We went to Jimmy Johns and got some lunch. I got my usual veggie sammich. It was delicious but it decided to give me horrible bloating painful gas. I left around 2:30. Took some chewable gas tablets and watched CSI: Miami. It's growing on me. Before I knew the differences between the 3, I decided to set my high tech thing to record all of them. I watch the normal ones first... Then the NY ones... I was deleting the Miami ones, but I was going through such bad withdrawl that I started watching the Miami ones. I Don't like the main guy, Heracio... His acting is kind of fake. I don't know what it is. It's like he draws out his words with this overly serious face.
ANYway... After 3 episodes, it was time for class. Ugh, I had a paper due today that I didn't think was due today. Didn't even have my topic picked out. Then today we had to pick out our research topic and start doing things with that. I HATE PICKING TOPICS. HAAAATE!!! Of course I couldn't think of anything... She has us go ahead and cite a source. Of course when she tells us to do these things she gives us 2 hours. It's 7:30, and she tells us to come back at 9:30. WHAT? So after 30 minutes of playing with ideas for topics, and almost hyperventalating... I decide on the history of coffee. Ghey. I call Brandon super pitiful, ask him to bring me a burger, but he was in the middle of cooking for himself. He asked me if I wanted him to bring me some when he was done, but I said no... Then I said no to every other option he gave me. I was just whiny and said I wanted to drink lots of beer... Went back to the class room to stare off into space. The guy behind me said, "Bojangles." So we got some Bo's!
Right after I had taken my last bite and cleaned myself off... I get a text from Brandon saying there was warm food in my car. Aww! He's the best b/f ever. I told him I got some bojangles... He said he tried. Blah. Went to class, finished there, then got out. There was a 24 of bud light, a 6 pack of leinenkugel, and a bag of wendy's. Of course there was a note... He's the best boyfriend in the world. So caring.
Well there's this cat begging for attention... Laying all over my hands... Must go...

bleh
Getting close to 48 hours since the sickness started... My stomach still hurts... And I'm dehydrated. Whoo! I just drank a fo'ty of gatorade! Well, 44... Two 12oz's, and a 20oz.

le sigh
So Brandon was sick on Sunday... Then it hit me yesterday. I felt bleh all through work, then the poops started when I got home around 1:30. Vomming at 6. =\ Man it was fun times. Only vommed 3 times... I've been poopin' the whole time though. Yey Gatorade and Pepto. My tummy still hurts a lot. Didn't go to class last night, missed work today, and probably will miss class tonight.

William Petersen
As I get older, I find my attraction for older men growing stronger. I've recently been introduced to the show CSI by happening to get a flat tire. Went to Merchant's, they had crappy satellite TV with not many channels, and stumbled across CSI. I was hooked. They fixed my tire quick, so I ran home to finish the episode. I've learned the original CSI is awesome, CSI: NY is cool too, and CSI: Miami sucks my large, non-exsistant balls.
The original has a guy named Gil Grissom, played by William Petersen... He's my new TV crush.
It's so bad that I've been watching it for weeks... And I don't know any of the other character's names. ha!
Too bad he's older than my mom...

Well then.
Seemed I was confused as to how the permissions worked for this thing... I had it set to only allowing authors to read it, but no one could! Now it's back on everyone reading it. Yey.
wheat wrap, egg beaters, cream cheese, onions, cucumber, and spicy mustard.
This wonderful concoction of yumminess... With the sensations of crunch and goo. So many flavors! Creamy, salty, pungant... I've had you every morning this week! I think I've been too saturated with your flavor. I've been spoiled with your goodness! What, oh what will I do when I can't have you on sunday? So good, and so good for me... I'll miss you on the day following tomorrow... I'll miss you.
HAHA!! I just posted this and looked at my blog... And directly beside it? My emo pic! Oh... It's too easy to amuse myself.

Caffiened
So here was my last paper for english class, including the picture:
It was a very eerie night; It was dark and the wind was howling. No one was outside. All the houses around had their lights off. No cars were moving down the streets.
”What the …?” I thought to myself as I got up off the floor. “Where am I?” I was groggy and cold. I had no idea how I had gotten myself to this unknown location. I hadn’t been partying, nor do I remember driving myself anywhere. At this point, I was very frightened.
I heard someone respond to my thoughts, “Hello? Anyone here?”
“Jeseca? Is that you?”
“Uh, yeah… Melanie?”
Since both of us were smokers, we pulled out our lighters. We looked around at our surroundings, and heard the wind whistle through the doors.
“What are we doing at work?” She asked.
“I wish I had an answer to that,” I responded.
The coffee shop was a creepy place on its own with the old machines rattling and our shopping center ghost playing tricks. Winding up there with no reason as to why made it seem that much creepier.
We walked to the back door. It was jammed. We couldn’t get the handle to budge, no matter how hard we tried. As this point we were freaking out.
“Ok, so what do we do if we get to the front of the store and can’t get that door to open either?” I asked.
Jeseca shuddered and walked off toward the front. I started to follow after a few seconds, then I heard something and gasped. Jeseca must have heard it too since she stopped dead in her tracks almost as fast as I had gasped. It was a kind of moaning noise. We slowly walked behind the counter to see where it was coming from.
We got into the kitchen to see our co-worker, Tabitha, curled up on the floor bleeding from somewhere. She was lying in a pool of blood, and even in the dark we could see that she was as pale as a ghost.
“Get out of here,” we heard Tabitha struggle to get out of her mouth.
Jeseca and I started to back away slowly. Further down the hall I could see glowing eyes. I panicked and ran out of the kitchen. I could hear a snarling sound coming from the beast with the glowing eyes.
I ducked under a table and sat quiet for a few moments. The snarling got closer and closer. I saw Jeseca across the room under another table. When the beast came out to where we could see it, we came to the realization that the beast was our boss, Julie. We always knew she was some kind of devil-woman… But a zombieish-devil-woman? Who knew?
I figured that poor Tabitha had succumbed to the wrath of Julie’s hunger for human flesh. Why after two years of being our boss is she just now trying to kill us? Jeseca must have had the same question.
I got up, realizing that her Rheumatoid Arthritis would leave her slow and almost harmless. I peeked into the kitchen. It seemed that she was uninterested in what Jeseca and I were doing, and had gone back to eating Tabitha. She must have died right after telling us to get out because she was more motionless now than when we saw her before. She didn’t make a sound even when Monster-Julie sunk her teeth into her.
Jeseca and I tip-toed our way to the back of the store to think of a plan.
“Ok, so even if that door’s unlocked up front and we get to our cars… We’ll still have to come back to the store tomorrow to work, and there will still be a Zombie-Julie and a dead Tabitha,” I said to Jeseca.
“Yeah, I guess we’re going to have to kill her, call the cops, and hope that they don’t think we’re insane for having two dead people in here on a weird, creepy, night,” she replied.
“I think we’re going to have to take our chances with being crazy. It’s either be crazy, or be Julie’s next meal. I’d rather not be a meal! What can we use for weapons? She’s awfully close to the lunch-line to grab the knives…” I said.
“Well, we better think of something fast. Little Tabitha in there wouldn’t make much of a meal for anyone,” Jeseca replied.
Knowing there wouldn’t be much time before Tabitha’s little hundred pound body would be devoured, I thought of a quick plan.
“We could always lure her out of the kitchen, blow the pilot lights out in the top of the stove, hope the store fills with gas, sneak out of the front, and hope one of the fridges turns on at the perfect time for the store to blow up!” I said, much too excited.
She replied, “First of all, you’ve seen Fight Club waaay too many times… Second of all, we still don’t know if we can get out of the front door! We’ve only got one try to get out of the door since the alarm beeps every time we open it. She’d hear it and come at us for sure.”
“Alright, genius, your turn,” I said.
In the kitchen I heard that the chewing had stopped. Julie’s extra stiff body was slowly shuffling through to the back. I hid behind the couch and saw Jeseca walk to the very back. Then I heard the bathroom door open.
I thought to myself, “Great, she’s going to lock herself in the bathroom and then I’ll be stuck with the Zombie-Boss from Hell.”
I didn’t hear the door close until Julie had slowly walked past me. All of the sudden I heard banging on the door. I thought the worst for a moment until I heard Jeseca cackling, her voice on the outside of the door.
“What?” I yelled. “Did you lock her in the bathroom? Brilliant!”
Jeseca replied, “Well, she’s such a cripple, I figure she won’t be able to bust through, or scale the wall to the ceiling.”
“Yeah, good point. You hold her in there, and I’ll go get the phone,” I said.
I walked through the very creepy shop to the office and grabbed the phone. I figured with all the other creepy events and knowing the luck that goes on with that, the phone would be dead. Luck was in my favor that night, though. I turned it on and dialed 911.
“911, what is your emergency?” I heard the lady on the line say.
I replied, “Well, I don’t know if you’re going to believe me, but there’s a monster… And a murder.”
She didn’t seem very thrilled until I mentioned the murder.
“Ok… Is this 5039 Falls of Neuse?” She asked.
“Yes it is… How long until someone gets here? We have the monster locked in the bathroom. We don’t know if we can get the front door to the store open, though.”
“Right… So the murder…”
I responded, “Yes, the murder. It’s my co-worker, Tabitha. The monster ate her. I don’t know how much of her is left.
I heard a sigh on the other line, and I felt that she was almost ready to hang up on me.
“Please send us some help!”
“Alright, I’ve informed the police and they’re on their way.”
I got to the back and saw that the faithful Jeseca was still holding our Monster-Boss in the bathroom. I got one of the tables to hold the door shut. We got away from the door enough to keep an eye on it, but to also keep a safe distance.
“So how did the 911 call go… Did they think you were crazy?” Jeseca asked.
“Well, of course, they thought I was crazy. I said monster… Then murder… Then monster caused murder. I had her attention on murder until I mentioned monster again…”
Jeseca just laughed at me. A few minutes of silence passed, then we heard the front door shake. Then we heard the front door shatter.
“Hello? Any one in here?” We heard a male voice call from the front.
“We’re back here,” Jeseca and I both yelled.
The man came marching to the back with a flashlight on, and introduced himself as Officer Johnson. He then wanted us to show him where the body was. We politely told him that the body would still be there and we wanted to show him the monster. He saw the jammed door and walked over to knock on it. Behind the door came the horrible snarling sound.
He moved the table and slowly opened the door. He saw the orange glowing eyes and slammed the door.
“Ok, now I think I’m going to the loony bin with you guys. Is that really a zombie in there?”
We nodded our heads, “Yes.”
Officer Johnson pulled out his radio. He called back to the police station, “You’re not going to believe this, there really is a monster in here.”
The radio response was, “Ok… Um… Kill it I guess.”
He turned his flashlight toward the door and slowly opened it again. We finally got to see how horrible our boss looked as an actual monster.
She winced away from the light. Her face and clothes were covered in blood. She was a weird pale blue-green color. Her nails seemed to have grown two inches.
Without hesitation, Officer Johnson pulled out his pistol and shot her in the head. Julie fell into a pile of gross, decayed, mess.
We all looked at each other and were very confused. I said, “Well I guess I’ll take you to Tabitha now. She’s up there in the kitchen.”
Officer Johnson led the way like he knew where he was going. We followed slowly behind him. We could already smell the decay of her body. I covered my face with the top of my shirt. He saw her around the corner, and jump back in horror, “Holy cow, that monster really did a number on this poor girl’s body.”
At this point I didn’t want to see what had happened to her after the first time I saw her.
Officer Johnson called on his radio again, “I think I’m going to need two ambulances…”
After a while, I heard them squealing down the street. I jumped up out of bed a little discombobulated. I took a couple deep breaths and said aloud, “Holy crap… Jeseca was right… NEVER eat garlic before bed. What a weird dream!”
The version before this I got a 92 on because of a couple over-looked puncuation problems, and a bunch of tense problems. I had a lot of fun with this one. Wrote it in about an hour. Sha-wing! For any of you who know the people in the story, it makes it that much better.

Insomnia
I'm sure people are going to get tired of me using this thing pretty quick. I'll get over it soon enough, I'm sure. It's just fun having a new toy to play with... New possible readers... Maybe stalkers that will fall in love with me from my writing =P
Man, I MUST be tired. Maybe I shouldn't have had that green tea during class.
It's very weird that I'm so very tired in the morning, and can't sleep at night. Aren't those the symptoms of insomnia? Bleh. I'm soooo trying not to eat as much or snack... It's easier to do when sleeping =P That's ok though... There isn't any food in the house. Unless I wanna do peanut butter spoon again. Mmmm, I love peanut butter.
It's officially been 3 days since I quit smoking. My last one was around midnight on Sunday. Whoo! I woke up Monday feeling like ASS... So I didn't have one. That's all I needed. My theory is... I went over a year without smoking.
But I lived with 2 people that smoked in the apartment. I think living with them mixed with hanging out with smoking co-workers all day kept me addicted... Then moving into my own non-smoking apartment left me craving cigarettes. One day before class I bought a pack of cloves ::sigh:: The death-stick that got me hooked in the first place. Oh well. I'm done again. =)
Living in a non-smoking apartment, and I haven't been going outside with the smokers. Whoo!
Went for a walk today. It was awesome. I think I'll try again tomorrow... Which reminds me... I don't go into work until 10 tomorrow. Bleh. Nevermind. I must get up early and shower. Wee!!

Class
So I'm in class right now. I can't pay attention to this guy. The last time I had him it was a work at your own pace class... So when he talked, I was able to tune him out. Suuucks. I'm in my networking class. Weee! He's going page by page and telling us what's on it... Highlighting some parts and incouraging us to read the chapters ourselves. Yeah, teaching!! We're on our 3rd break already, including a 10 minute, 30 minute, and a 15 minute break. Whoopdy doo!
I'm hoping to be able to get out of here within the hour. On our 30 mintue break, I went home to see Brandon and ate the rest of my chinese food left over from last night. Man was it good! It was a bourbon chicken with a side of chicken lomein. I have discovered that you can get the lomein instead of a side of rice. ::drool:: It's my new friend.
So my kitty is doing well. Rudy got fixed on Monday. He was very sleepy when I picked him up and brought him home. He was home by 4:30, I had to leave for class a little after 5... Got home around 9:30, and he hadn't moved. He didn't move between then and a little after midnight when I went to bed... He was, however, infront of my bedroom door as usual when I woke up Tuesday morning.
I think the girls were happy that they got a couple day break from him running around and tackling them. He was running around a bit more yesterday. This morning when I filled up their bowl of water, he didn't do the usual push everyone away from the bowl thing... He actually shared! Either he's still a little drugged and icky, or taking his balls actually did something. Haven't decided yet. I guess time will tell on that one.
My classmates are looking at me funny since I type so fast. I think it's funny.

Nakey
Well I have about 20 before I have to head to class... Another blog for you!
When I was little I always liked to catch toads, lizzards, and of course; snakes! Snakes have been my most favorite animal since I was probably 3 or 4. My mom had made me a baby blanket. I eventually wore down the edges and she fixed it by sewing a shiny ribbon-like material around the edge. 3 of the corners were rounded, and the beginning/end corner was squared. I would hold the squared corner like a flared out cobra. I named that corner Ziz.
That's my only reasoning for my de-sensitization towards snakes. They're so awesome.
This one day I was playing out in the yard, or street, or whatever I was doing that day... And I found a very tiny black snake with a yellow stripe across his neck. I decided to keep it in my room, in a mysterious fish tank we had. I don't know why we had it since we never had fish... Any way...
I didn't keep the little guy too long since he was tiny and I wasn't sure what to feed him.
Today I was taking a walk around Shelly Lake, and what do I find? A tiny black snake with a yellow stripe across its neck!! Of course I was super excited since I hadn't seen one since. In fact... I don't know if I've seen any snake in the wild since then...
I put the little guy in my empty water bottle and took him back to work. I had to see what kind he was and what he ate. Ringneck Snake. Nice. Eats salamanders, earth worms, and other buggies. I don't think I could deal with something that I'd have to feed mice and what-not. ::shudder:: I like mice! I think I can deal with finding worms and bugs. Don't know how I'm going to pull off the salamander part.
After leaving work, I ran to PetSmart to buy a fish tank, moss, and a heating pad thing. We had soil from a project Brandon never went through with... So I filled the tank with that, leaving a water hole area. That part is going to need a lot more modification... Oh well.
Haven't named this guy yet. He's chillin' outside. I found him some worms to hunt. He looked very happy swimming through the soil. I'll have to put some sticks and leaves in there later. He needs more hiding spots.

After leaving work, I ran to PetSmart to buy a fish tank, moss, and a heating pad thing. We had soil from a project Brandon never went through with... So I filled the tank with that, leaving a water hole area. That part is going to need a lot more modification... Oh well.
Haven't named this guy yet. He's chillin' outside. I found him some worms to hunt. He looked very happy swimming through the soil. I'll have to put some sticks and leaves in there later. He needs more hiding spots.
Time for the percolator!
For those of you who need more to your daily blog life... Check out my work's blog: http://percolatin.blogspot.com
Yeah, buddy!
I figured out how to do the subscribing thing to friends, and what-not. I'm using Google Reader. Wasn't that hard once I looked around to figure it out =)
So class was alright last night. It was the first night first this term's M - W English class. Ms. Teacher-Lady wasn't there... The night manager gave us our assignment and we left early after finishing it. Yeah!! It was super exciting.
Now that I have readers, I'm going to have to start updating more!!! Feel free to give me topics. Maybe I'll write stories and what-not. You know what... I think I'll post my Zombie story!!!
Nevermind. I'll have to wait until I get to school. Thid computer doesn't have word on it and doesn't understand when I change the file to a .txt. Oh well. =P I'll keep trying.

Ugh...
Well here I am at school again. I'm in the library just fartin' around. There was a job fair thing at school today, so classes are going to be starting 30 mintues later than usual. And on top of that, I'm early anyway... So instead of only being 30 mintues early, I'm actually an hour early. I thought about going back home since it's 2.5 miles down the road. ::le sigh:: I could like go home and cook something in that time. =P
Oh geez, I just got complimented on how quick I type. "Dang! I wish I had your fingers!" Poor guy has been in here as long as I have... I checked my mail and sent a few txts before I started this... I looked over at his monitor and he only has the heading done on his paper. Luckily he has the rough draft in front of him... Just can't type fast.
ANYway... So Brandon got me this really tiny laptop over a year ago for $80 when he was still working at Deedoc Computer. It's a tiny Dell Latitude LS. It's got a bad battery among a couple other things. The thing was built so tiny that it doesn't have a CD-ROM, or any other kind of drives. It's smaller than the new one I bought, and that thing is tiny!
I was looking at docking stations, but all those things do is add more ports... Ports that are already on the thing... So I said screw that! I got on Ebay today and bought an external CD-ROM (USB) and a new battery. The battery was cheap as fuck so I'm hoping it actually works and all that jazz... 18$ battery, 5$ shipping... And the thing has already been shipped. Sweet. =)
Seems like I bought something else... But I don't think so... Hmm.
I don't know what I'm going to do with that little thing. It's cute... It works... But I have a laptop. Who knows... Maybe I'll just keep it in my car for when I need a comptuer =P The wireless works off of a little PCI(maybe) wireless card. The card isn't in it... I don't know what happened to it.
I met Jeseca up at Rock N Roll to see the pin-up girl she was going to get done on her shoulder blade... I got that after she had been there for an hour, and they hadn't started yet. Apparently she didn't like what he had drawn up for her, so they decided to just put color in the flowers that she already had going on on her arm. They look really pretty. She had various sized flowers going down her right arm with swoopy bars behind them, all in grey/black. He went over them with pink petals and yellow middles. They look really good! He's going to put green leaves on them and go over the swoopies with blues. It'll be purdy.
I was going to try to get my Mario colored in, but it hasn't even been 2 weeks yet... So I decided that I'm going to wait until I get paid next Friday and get it all done in one sitting instead of getting it done in hour sessions. Hopefully I'll have enough money for all that blah-blah. =) I think I have about 75$ saved up from tips this week... We'll see how much I get by next week, then take the difference out of my pay check. Yipee =) I'm guessing I'll need 150 - 200$ to get it finished... Slowly gettin' there. =)
What else can I babble on about... This stupid blog has only taken up 13 minutes of my time! What am I going to do with my other 47 minutes? Goddamnit... Hmm...
It's really hot outside. Feels good compared to how it was the past couple days. Too cold. Bleh. I changed into a sketti strap between work and here. I think my arm will be happy to have a driver's tan again. It always humors me. Now that I have a skull tattooed on that arm though... I'm going to have to be more conscious of sunblock. Don't want Ms. Sully fading. She's awesome.
One of the things I hate about being bored at school is... They have everything blocked! No MySpace, no FaceBook, no LiveJournal. I'm glad I can even do this much... Geesh. Too bad no one reads this thing.
Maybe I'll go outside to smoke and hope someone shows up so I can talk to them. Yeah. I think I'll do that,

Long Awaited Post!
So for the past couple classes... I haven't had internet... So I haven't been able to update! Well here we are... 3 days into class, and suddenly we have internet in here!! I decided to jump at the chance to update! I know no one reads this, but that's alright. I guess it's for my boredum's benefit. =)
The only person out there that might be reading this is good ol' Waldo =) Hi Waldo!
Anyway... I'm in my Computer Configuration II (Formerly known as Periphrials) right now and class starts in 7 minutes. Boooy am I excited. I actually brought my laptop in here today to see if I could jump on the wireless. I guess that's battery life I get to save for my dear ol' Viper. =)
I hope you all out there in computer land that happen to run accross my blog are having a wonderful time!

End CIS 106
Well this is the last day in the first class I'll have with Ms. Beegle; My CIS 106 Operating Systems class. We're studying for an hour before we start our exam... Then we're done. UNTIL NEXT WEEK! Most of us are lucky enough to have her again for the next 2 terms. I love her to death.
So I might never be in this class room again... She said she teaches in different class rooms. =\ After our exam we get to wipe our hard drives that we've tried so hard to not destroy in the past 5 weeks... Kind of sad. Wonder what will happen to our over-formatted floppies? No, I'm not really sad about those. =P
I'm not really sad yet... But I'm sure I will be after the next 10. Either that or I'll be horribly sick of Ms. Beegle. Haha, I guess watch and wait and see if I snap! =D
Term 2 done, perfect attendance and HOPEfully Dean's List if I can make an awesome grade on this exam. =D

In class.
I think I started one of these things when I went to Wake Tech, but I don't remember what it was or anything... I think I had it set up through one of my Wake Tech accounts. Lord only knows.
ANYway... I'm going to be doing my 3rd test in my Operating Systems class. =D My first one was 100%, my last one was 74%. I wasn't happy... So I should be studying now. =P
I keep looking at it. I think I'll absorb more if I keep going back to it.
So I'm going to go back to it now.
