Boy, am I glad I did not write that speech. Turns out that it wasn't due tonight. See what slacking, procrastinating, and just flat out not working can do? Save me lots of stress and time! Both of the Simpsons that were on tonight were Halloween episodes. Only a few more hours until I go to Iowa City. I wonder if I'll get stuck there on Saturday. The weather people say that a lot of snow is supposed to come, but the same thing was said last time I went to Iowa City, and it didn't snow at all. I sure do hope I get stuck there for another day! That would rock.

Nothing much else is going on with me, I have been eating a lot lately and feel fat again. That sucks.

03.52p
Hmm... I'm supposed to be doing something... what ever could it be... hmm... oh yeah, studying for a test over five chapters in my speech class book and writing a 6-8 minute speech. No... I don't think I'm going to do it. Why? Too much stress and it doesn't even matter. I *will* however, watch Simpsons at five.

02.02.27

Yes, this does suck. So, I get home tonight and have received an email from my speech teacher about what we will be doing in class tomorrow (after missing last week's class). Here it is:

We will be having a test over chapters 1,2,10,11 & 13. Will also be giving inform 2 which is a 6-8 minute speech to inform. This speech should include and introduction and conclusion and you shoud display your supporting materials on the outline.

To answer your question, no, I have not written this speech and no, I have not studied. I should probably do something about that now, but I'm way too lazy. And I was going to cut my hair tomorrow.

I had such a hard time figuring out the topic for my last speech, I have no idea what I will do this one on. Hopefully I can get a week extension or something like that. I mean, I've been pretty good about stuff in that class. *Pretty* good. Not great, or outstanding. Oh well, it's my last semester. No big deal, right? I guess that's about it for this time, until next, I'm out.

Same old, same old...

The same old routine, just another week. I don't really have any homework or anything to do this week (at least, I don't think I do) and have no obligations, except for Friday night and both places of work. I am bored.

So, at least you know now why these latest entries are ever so boring. Sorry. I need some spice in my life, but what? Who knows...

Last night I was trying to fix my glasses by using an Xacto knife tip as a screwdriver. I proceeded to stab myself in the finger with an Xacto knife and bleed profusely. It was a small cut, but still bled forever. I shook my hand right after it happened, and splattered blood everywhere. It was kind of gross.

Today I worked at both Intermat and QT. Intermat was the same old same old stuff, and QT was pretty nice because we were so slow it was easy to get stuff done. I really want to call in on Saturday because I don't really want to come back from Iowa City on Saturday morning just to work for eight hours. What should I do? I'll probably wuss out and come back.

Ehh, this is kind of a boring entry. Nothing much is going on in my life now, just boring stuff. I think I'll go do something interesting. Later.

02.02.24
07.44p
Yeah... so I slept but only until about an hour ago. Two Simpsons on tonight! Hooray!

03.42p
Home from work, and ready to tackle the rest of this day. The plan is as follows: do laundry, clean/organize room, do homework. It doesn't sound like much, but it is. I might even go work out or something (gasp) but that probably won't happen. What probably will happen is right after I'm done typing this, I'll fall asleep and sleep until 10p or so, then wake up and whine because I didn't get what I wanted to done.

If you didn't hear, we (Eric and the Floaters) did *not* play at the show last night. A lot of confounding elements (the biggest being Eric dislocating his shoulder) all came together for us not to be able to play. I was disappointed, but it wasn't anything Earth-shattering. I'm disappointed a lot, so it's nothing big.

I'm really excited for this weekend, for some reason. Maybe it's because we did the exact same thing almost a year ago. Or maybe it's because it's going to be fun. Whatever, I'm excited and come Friday I'll be heading to Iowa City for the time of my life! I'll take lots of good pictures too and maybe even post them here.

Well, I should be off to start working (after working for eight hours already today). Talk to everyone later. I might even get on AIM today. Out.

One of the things I always wanted to do in my lifetime was meet Chuck Jones. If you don't know, he was an animator for Warner Bros. cartoons, you know, the ones that I (and maybe you too) grew up on. I have probably seen almost every one. I enjoy Chuck Jones' the most. Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote were both his creations. He also helped create most of the Warner Bros. cast, including Bugs Bunny and all those good ones. I really just wanted to shake his hand, and thank him for being a part of my childhood.

Chuck Jones passed away yesterday. I don't know, I just had always thought in the back of my mind that I'd meet him someday, and now I won't be able to. That sounds kind of selfish but it's not meant to be. I heard this news and am really saddened by it. It's a great loss, and even though I didn't know him, knowing that he is not around anymore makes me miss him.

At least we'll have his cartoons to watch forever. Maybe we should have a Chuck Jones marathon someday. That would be cool.

12.37p
Whoa, look at that date. Look at all those 2's. 2 is my favorite number, did I ever tell you that? Maybe today will be awesome.

I found out that Erica was my crush! Wow! She even has a boyfriend and stuff.

This weekend: Show at the Botan. on Saturday. Should be awesome. Next weekend: Trip to Iowa City (again) for lots of birthday parties. I think I might get a makeover from my crush! I hope I'm a hot chick. If those pink wig pictures are any indication... haha. That's all for now, I'm going to play some old-skool River City Ransom on NES. Yes, the actual system. Later!

Who is my "crush"? I got an email from crushlink.com saying that somebody has a crush on me. I'm assuming nobody does, and they put my email address in the 'guess' box trying to guess who sent them one (does that make any sense?). Anyways, I'm just curious as to who it is. Here is what crushlink tells me: first name contains 5 letters, last name contains 8 or more letters, 1 letter in the first name are also in the last name, the username contains 5 characters, the domain is different from your domain. Ehh, I probably could figure it out but I'm too lazy to think. I don't have *that* many friends with last names that have more than eight letters in them.

Girls don't like me, that's why I know this isn't real. Maybe it's a guy. It doesn't matter anyways. Just curious.

I thought I failed my Ethics test. I knew for sure. I got 104/100, and have an A in the class. Go me.

I have to write a report that is due tomorrow. I think I'll do it tomorrow. I should write it and email it, so that I can skip class and chill with Uciel. I'm watching Oz right now, it's pretty good. I think I'm losing weight, but today I binged and ate some Burger King. Chicken and fish, though, so I'm alright. I won't divulge the secrets to my diet, but hopefully it's working. My mom took away the scale we used to have because I would weigh myself every 10 minutes. I mean, I was curious as to what my weight difference was after I went poop! Who wouldn't be?

I'm beginning to wean myself off my computer more and more these days, and not having AIM is definately helping. I think I'll go... watch tv... or something. Later.

02.11p
Yeah, I just woke up about an hour or so ago. I think I deserve this sleep! I haven't got to sleep in since last Thursday. It felt really good. I had a dream my mom left me a blank check for $400, so when I woke up I went out to the kitchen table to see if it was really there, and... it wasn't. That sucked.

I don't need any of this: so, last night I get an email from this girl (I think she's a girl) named Sammi. The email says something about her AA page and if I received her message earlier. I didn't, and think this is really weird. So, I try to email her back, but the mailer-daemon says I can't. Apparently her email address doesn't exist. So, I go to this other page of hers, and there are a *ton* of people who are like 'Hey, I got your email, but I couldn't respond. How did you find me?' or something along those lines... something along MY lines! So, I guess she's done this to many many people... but for what reason? No idea. Strange, huh?

Well last night I figured out how to network my dad's comp and mine (finally) so that I can transfer stuff to his to be burned to CDs. I freed up a few gigs of space on mine and am currently burning it on his comp (while he is away). That's about it for now. Oh yeah, the guestbook is finally working again! So check it out! Hooray!

Well, today was a busy day, but nothing really happened. I worked at both Intermat and QT for four hours each. I didn't get much else done. I saw QT girl today, she looked at me, which I assume she does with everyone who walks in the door.

I forgot to talk about work yesterday. I worked with that girl I don't like. It wasn't that bad yesterday, but she said some things that really weirded me out. When I first got there, the night guy was still there and talking about how he got his nipple ring ripped out. Yes, it sounded extremely painful. My boss was holding her chest (which was kind of weird... since, she's a girl and stuff) and making a lot more of a scene than was needed. Then, she had to go and inform us, "I have had them bitten really hard... but that sounds even worse." Ugh, images even worse than a nipple ring being pulled out filled my mind, and I felt sick. Why, God? I don't even want to know. Later on, she informed me that she was sex-deprived. I don't know why, but she did. I don't really want to be her person to tell all of this to, because I don't like her and I don't want to hear about weird stuff like that.

Err, enough complaining. I wonder if Billy L. is really reading... I bet he's not.

I'm bored with life, but isn't that always the case?

02.02.17
11.10p
The guestbook is broken, if you haven't noticed by now. It's not my fault, though. Dreambook better get it's shiznit together! I'm not tired, even though I got like three hours of sleep last night, have been awake since 6a, and have not had a nap or anything. Why not? Usually I take a little nap on Sunday afternoons or whatever, but not today. Strange. This week is a nice relaxing week in lieu of last week's hectic busy nature. Hooray.

07.31p
If you missed that Simpsons, you missed the best one in a while! I laughed my thingy off! "Go to Canada? Why leave America to go to America Jr.?"

06.37p
Yeah, I know that I am allowed to be on AIM today, but I just don't feel like it.

I was watching Futurama (remember that show?) and a song came on. It sounded really familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then, I realized it was a Pizzicato Five song! Wow, that just blew my mind. The song is called Baby Love Child, and it is really mellow and smooth-sounding. Download it now! That's all for me, there is a new Simpsons on tonight! Everybody watch. Later.

01.41a
Yeah, so I didn't update yesterday. There wasn't really anything to say. I woke up, went to work, and came home. I've been home ever since. I have to wake up in about five hours to go to work again. The stupid girl is going to be working. I don't really care.

It seems when I think too much, I make myself sad. I don't know why, but it just happens like that. That's how I am now- thinking, sad, and confused. It seems like I don't know anything. I don't know what I want to do, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I should do. Life is confusing, and I'm just stumbling along right now until I find something to set my foot down in and anchor myself against the confusion. Until then, I'll just stumble along.

I wrote some new songs. They are good. It's too bad that I can't put music to my words, or else I would have the bestest songs. I'll try, though. That's about it, I'm going to bed so I can get at least a good four hours of sleep. Later.

02.02.15
04.12p
Poetry. We are reading poetry in Lit class now. I think I'll rant about poetry again. I think poetry is best when it's not rhyming or anything. Why? I think that rhymes are (or most of the time sound) too forced. Poetry is emotion on paper. You can't bottle your emotions or fit them into a form or anything like that, just let them flow out and write whatever you want down on that paper. Some of the words might rhyme, and heck, if you can figure out a way to truly show your emotions while rhyming at the same time, go for it! It's just that 99% of poetry sucks (at least to me), even mine (even though it doesn't rhyme). Poetry should express something, not try to be something. It reminds me of a fortune I got from a cookie a while ago: "Nature forms us for ourselves; to be, not to seem" I like that.

01.30a
Man, everyone is using php and other fancy stuff to update their websites. I don't know any of that stuff. I'm just kicking it old-skool with plain old HTML (plus a few java thingies). Is that so bad? Sure, it's not pretty, but it is simple, and I like it like that.

I think it's almost time to cut my hair again. It's getting long. I think I'll try to do it again myself. Last time didn't turn out half bad! I have been downloading more Morning Musume videos lately, fun stuff! I'm still sitting in front of the computer, but I'm also getting off to play some PS2. State of Emergency better quench my thirst for action!

02.02.14
11.59p
Just in the nick of time! If you haven't checked out the 'special' section lately, check it out! New pictures of me plus the story of what happened last weekend. The pictures are dumb and the story is horribly written, but who cares, right? Oh, you do? Fine.

11.42p
I just wanted to say: I have nothing to do. No assignments due tomorrow (as I have had the past two days). No plans tomorrow (other than purchasing State of Emergency). Nothing to wake up for except work. Nothing to do.

I find this lack of anything to do disheartening. I have ended up sitting in front of the computer, again. I did manage to play some online THPS3 and get my butt kicked severely. It wasn't that I sucked, it's that when I was in the middle of some long combo I'd get knocked over or fall. My biggest loss? 450,000 points.

I really need to find something to do to pass the time. This sucks. Emails would be good to read *HINT HINT*, ya know, moral support and stuff like that. Thanks!

10.00p
Eh, today wasn't so bad. It was one of those "wake-up-at-11:40-go-back-to-sleep-for-20-minutes-more-and-end-up-waking-up-at-2:30" days. Am I the only one that has those?

I have decided to give up two more things for lent. They kinda have to do with me not being fat anymore- pop and overeating. I think my biggest problem was not that I ate bad, but I just ate a ton. Also, I had gotten into the habit of only drinking diet pop lately, but have decided to forsake all of it. I mean, water is good. I have nothing against water. I'll drink it more.

Is it just me, or has NOBODY updated their page in a few days? Check my links. Almost every one has been left unattended for the past few days. Where is everyone? That's about it for me. Valentine's Day? I'm not going to complain about girls or love or anything today. Why? Because I do it enough every other day. Ha! Out.

12.07a
I think this is not helping, but it's probably the first day jitters. I have been sitting in front of my computer screen, trying to busy myself. I'm downloading lots of music and fun stuff like that, but not chatting on AIM. It's almost like... I'm not sure. Hopefully I'll tear myself away from the computer when I realize nothing is happening.

If you haven't noticed, I have also been keeping busy by updating the journal. And checking my e-mail every 10 minutes. And going back to see if anybody has posted in my guestbook every 10 minutes. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll realize that not everybody is online 24/7 to entertain me. Ah, the urges keep coming, but I'm not going to give in! I think this is the hardest part... I just have to get over this hump somehow and actually not be physically in front of the computer. I'm running out of things to busy myself with. I have already emptied my Yahoo! mailbox (downloaded all the messages to Outlook) and organized my directories. I am talking to nobody. I feel so alone right now! Nobody to chat to, to confide in or anything. I should work on my speech now. Any ideas for it?

02.02.13
09.10p
Ok, I have a confession to make. The reason my car broke down the second time is because I was out of gas. Yes, I did totally forget I pulled into a gas station to get gas before my car broke down. Yes, I did make my dad drive three hours to come pick me up, then made both my parents drive three hours there and back to pick it up after we discovered it was out of gas. Yes, I am dumb. So, there you go. Laugh away. At least now all of the laughing and insults will come slowly over email rather than being blasted away on AIM by everyone.

I also have another confession to make- I did not realize that Valentine's Day was tomorrow until, well, right now. Oh well, it's not like I'll be celebrating with anyone or anything like that. Good day to you.

04.10p
The Operation is officially over. Unless, if we change it to consist of trying to rid Ashley of her boyfriend, which would be a mean and evil thing to do. So, it's ending right now. Or, probably more accurately this morning when Nick talked to her finally.

I knew she had a boyfriend. I just knew it. Ever since I talked to Nick about what happend this morning... I just got that kind of weird vibe. Like I said to him, "I'm good... too good for my own good." I also said "I knew it wouldn't work out because these things NEVER work out." Yeah, but now hopefully... I don't know. That's it. Disappointed: Yes, Surprised: No.

03.27p
I just wanted to say that yes, I did just download Yahoo! Messenger. I am only running it under these conditions: I appear 'invisible' while on the whole time. I have allowed nobody to talk to or contact me while I am online. The only reason why I am running the program is that it tells me when I receive new email (even though that doesn't seem to be working). I WILL NOT use it to IM people, ok you non-believers? ONLY FOR EMAIL NOTIFICATION PURPOSES! Got it? Stop having no faith in me, I'll do it.

02.40p
Good news: Nick came through for me. Bad news: He emailed me at 10, told me the story UP to the point where he went to talk to her, and stopped! Then, he informed me he wouldn't be able to tell me the rest for 6 hours! SIX HOURS!! *sigh* I think it's something bad. I have the worst-case scenario in mind.

So, no AIM today has been alright. First effect of no AIM - I went to bed BEFORE 1a last night! Holy crap! Will this become a habit of mine? I am going to 'clean out' my Yahoo! email box soon, and by that I mean I'm going to go through and save every email I have received as an HTML file. That sucks. Current email count: 568.

Half a day down, 39.5 more to go. Woohoo! Still gotta write a paper before tonight and a speech before tomorrow night. I better get started soon.

12.00a
I just left. Goodbye AIM. We'll see how this whole crazy thing works out, ok?

02.02.12
07.47p
I have the bestest friends! Words of faith:

Skazzyy: you can't give up aol
Skazzyy: i dont' think you can do it
Skazzyy: or are you gonna cheat and use ICQ?
milphy yu: thanks for the faith, bitch

Just for your information, no AIM, no ICQ, no MSN, no Yahoo! Messenger, no Trillian, no anything else. Just email, internet browsing, and reading my guestbook.

04.27p
Alright people, here's the deal. Tomorrow is the beginning of lent. I'm not a practicing... anything (religion-wise). I am just using this as an excuse to do some things that need to be done. Here are my lent give-up things:
AIM/instant messaging - I have decided (with the idea from a few friends, and advice from another good friend) that I need to take a break from the internet. Well, not all of the internet, but just messaging online. I think I have become too dependent on it. That's a bad thing. We'll see how I do. Bad food - I New-Year-Resolution'ed to lose weight. It's over a month past that and I have lost a little, but not a lot. I'm still a fatass and I aim to not be. Hopefully my not spending hours and hours online will remedy this.
Err, I think that's it.

Please, please, please if you want to talk to me, email me! My address is milpheyyu@yahoo.com. I will still check my email regularly. I mean, I can't give everything up! I will also be updating this page, so all you people who I don't see regularly can check up on me here, and 'chat' in the guestbook. I guess that's it. "Goodbye" to all you crazy people who I chat with online. I'll miss all of you!

In other news: I have a test tonight. I should study. My parents are getting my car from Waterloo today, so I'll have it again! Hooray! That's all for now.

02.02.11
11.07p
I'm back. You don't know how good it feels to say that.

I'm not saying I didn't have fun in Iowa City. It was really fun! We played a lot of Smash Bros. and had a good time. I saw funny stuff at No Shame Theater, and ate pizza and Japanese food. However, in this case, the bad seems to have overshadowed the good. I don't really feel like explaining now, but it's nothing to get really worried about. Just a lot of bad circumstances with my car, and a lot of unneeded stress. I have a horrible stress-induced headache now, so I think I'll stop. I'll post the story later. Hope everyone is doing well!

02.02.07

I last updated 24 hours and 1 minute ago. Cool. I just got done emailing Michelle. That is, a famous Michelle. Well, internet-famous. I visited her Yahoo! Club to see how many members she has and, get this: Members: [25465] Page Views: [4581142]. Holy crap. Looks like I won't be getting a response to my email anytime soon. She seems like a cool girl, though. In the email I just talked about old-skool videogames (which she seems to be a big fan of) and the good music stuff she listens to (anything produced by the Automator, Ayumi Hamasaki, Outkast, lots of Weezer, and Screeching Weasel [?!]). Weird, strange, but really really cool. She is a cool girl and it's too bad that I won't ever get to talk to her or anything. She had Deltron in her playlist!

Anyways, while on the subject of girls that I will never talk to, the Operation is still going strong. Today Nick C. informed me that ASHLEY was wearing an Ultimate Fakebook shirt. Well, at least it wasn't an Abercrombie or Gap shirt, right? At least she displays signs of being able to think on her own. Anyways, the more I think about this whole operation, the more depressed and pessimistic I get about it. Then, I turn around and think about "what if" kind of stuff for hours on end. Not really, but you know what I mean? It's given me something to daydream about, at least, and I guess that's all I can ask for at this point.

Shorter update this time, and 'thanks' to all of you guestbookers! You rock!

I've spoiled you. Remember the days when I used to go for weeks without an update? I guess the internet is so boring, that I have to update my page to pass some time. My day was really busy today, I woke up, went to work at Intermat from 9a-3p, then came home and went straight to Eric's for practice at four. Left Eric's, ate Burger King (because they have the *coolest* toys right now, a Dragonball Z AND a Powerpuff Girls toy in every Kid's Meal!), and then went to school. I fell asleep in class, but then woke up right after. Isn't that weird? I have done that a few times before- doze off in class then a few minutes later am wide awake. Strange. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, methinks. I think I'll turn in early tonight. No The Other Half tonight, unfortunately.

Let's see, the Operation (codename: ASHLEY) is coming along nicely. Hopefully this weekend will be fruitful in reguards to that. My operatives just have to make contact, and I have faith that they will. I might go to Iowa City Friday afternoon, and stay the night Friday night, drive to Waverly on Saturday to play, then drive back to Iowa City on Saturday night too. If Ashley is there, and actually wants to spend time with me, then it'll be the coolest time ever. But, as I was telling Nick... err, I mean, "my operative", whenever I plan big cool things like this, they never work out, especially when involving a girl. Go figure.

A friend of mine is having some... 'problems', I guess is the safest word to use. I really really want to help and I really feel bad that I can't help her! I wish I knew what to say to make her feel better, or at least shed some insight into the situation, but I can't do either. I just listen to her talk, and say 'yeah...' and dumb stuff like that. If you are reading, I'm sorry I'm not a better helper-type person, but I hope I've at least done *something* to help! Even if it was just to make you laugh when you were feeling down a little.

That's about it for today. Man, you have been getting pretty long entries lately. I really am spoiling you guys. Be happy! And sign that guestbook! Geez, it's SO dead!

A lot to talk about today, but I think I'll just touch briefly on each thing. First up, most important, and most serious thing that I've done in a long time was attend my friend's mother's funeral. It was sad, but I didn't cry. I don't know why. I was really sad, though. I didn't want to do anything after the funeral. Everyone went to a luncheon right after, but I thought that was kind of... I don't know. I think after a funeral, you should have some time to yourself to reflect upon what has just happened and try to comprehend the whole thing, and where you are in life. It's a big dose of reality in a short time. Really really sad stuff. My friend seemed really broken up, and I'm horrible at social things, so I don't know how to comfort him. It hurt me a lot to see him like that, but I knew he had a lot of friends who were better at that kind of stuff than me. Plus, I haven't talked to him much since he went to college, so it was really shocking. I don't know. That's all I'm going to say about that.

After the funeral, I came home for a while, and just bummed around. Then, I decided to do something productive instead of mope around and be sad, so I went to buy some shelving for my room. The only part of my room without any kind of shelving or storage thing. I think my room is officially full. So, I bought it, assembled it, and was organizing stuff when I got a call from work. I was supposed to go in at 5, or so I thought. Apparently it was actually 4 that I was supposed to be there, so I was late! Only the second time I've been late to work in about a year of working there! So, I went, and work was alright, I guess. It went by slow, but now I don't have to work for at least a week! At QT, that is.

I found out QT Girl's name today. That's just for my own knowledge. When I went to see her, and when I did finally see her, I realized that she isn't as "hot" as I had spoken of before. I mean, she's really cute in a strange sort of way. I'd still like to get to know her. Today a nice, attractive girl (who wasn't asian, surprise!) came in to QT, and after she left my boss told me that she was flirting with me. I was totally oblivious, if she was. I think I'm pretty much oblivious to anything like that. And, I can't flirt, either. And if I am flirting, then I probably don't know that I'm doing it. If you are with me in that situation, tell me what I'm doing so I can make a mental note! Thanks!

That's about it. I wrote a lot, and there's still a lot more to write, but that's for another time. Same place, though.

Nick: "Don't you ever sleep?" Haha. Let's take a closer look at this situation.
Friday- Wake up at 8a, sleep at ~3a. Awake for 19 hours. Slept for ~5 hours.
Saturday- Wake up at 1p, sleep at 3a. Awake for 14 hours. Slept for 10 hours.
Sunday- Wake up at 6a, sleep at... not yet. Awake for 19+ hours. Slept for 3 hours.
Total Sleep : 18 hours, Total Awake: 58 hours. I don't even know if these numbers are all correct. And why'd I do this? BECAUSE I AM SO TIRED!

Everyone wants to know how my day at QT went. It's a little like this: busy as heck, and my boss was "tolerable". She did say some stupid things and did some stupid things, but overall it wasn't that bad. In the end, it'll probably be me who is wrong again, and I will turn out to be the real ass.

After work I came home and went to my friend's mom's visitation. She died last week, and the funeral is tomorrow. It's really sad, and it's really hard to see people who you grew up with going through a hard time. His mom wasn't even that old, so it's quite a shock. Anyways, the visitation was really boring for me. All of his friends came, which constitutes most of the "popular" people in high school. I, as you may have guessed, was not "popular", even though some of my friends were. It just worked out that way. I don't know, but I didn't really have anything to say to anybody there. They all seemed to be having a jolly good time by themselves, so why should I join and just make it more awkward? I did go to the visitation with people, but they were always busy talking to people that I didn't know. I don't know, I guess that things just work out like that sometimes. Sometimes people get left out and forgotten, but it might be better that way. That's all for now.

Yeah, it's late, and Yeah, I have work at 7a, but I have been up writing songs and watching Demolition Man. I'm so, well, I guess it's lonely, but not really. I don't know, but I'm not angry about working tomorrow with that new girl anymore. Maybe because it just doesn't matter anymore. If I can say it without sounding too egotistical, I'd like to say the song I just wrote is pretty awesome. It's just a generic "I wish I had a girl" stupid song, and there have been millions of other ones exactly like it, but none of them were from me, or from my heart. So, this one is better! Well, at least to me. That's all I wanted to say.

Oh man, that date rocks. Too bad this extraordinarily awesome date had to have a crappy day associated with it. I woke up at 1p, and drove to work at 1.30. Argh, and then I worked from 2p-10p. Which brings me to my next topic: my new manager. Stupid Whiney Rant alert!!

Okay. I have not worked with this girl for more than 30 minutes, or even been around her for more than that long, but already I do not like her. When I went in to ask for a few days off last Wednesday, I didn't even talk to her or anything, but she still gave me that vibe. That vibe of being an ass. Anyways, today I worked with her for like 20 minutes. Here is what happened. She said,
"The beer side of the vault needs to be faced. Go ahead and fill what needs to be filled, too." Alright? Got that down? So, I do that. Nothing needs filled. None of the things are that low. So, I go do it, and come back. She goes,
"Are you finished?" and I go
"Yeah, I faced it, and filled the 2-liters too." She goes,
"Did you fill it?" and I go
"No, it didn't need it." She goes,
"Okay, well I wanted you to fill it. You probably need to rectify that communication problem." Yeah.

There are so many things wrong with this, the first being that SHE DID NOT EVEN TELL ME TO FILL ALL OF IT! She said to fill what needed to be filled, and nothing did. I know all of this probably doesn't mean much or make much sense to non-QT employees. Anyways, the only communication problem that needs to be rectified is the one between her brain and her mouth, because obviously she doesn't say what she means, or doesn't mean what she says. If she's not careful, I'm going to rectify her face with my fist. It pissed me off so much, and the thing that makes me even more angry is that I have to work with her tomorrow exclusively from 7a-1.30p. Then, someone else comes in to help us out. I don't know if I will be able to take her. I don't want to talk to her, or see her face, or have her talk to me. I might feign sickness to get off early. I don't know. Oh yeah, she also has this really annoying laugh. *sigh* Well, that's my whiney rant for today. I'm sure I'll have more to bitch about tomorrow.

Today sucked, but at least the date was cool!

Well, its February. Where did January go?

My dieting and exercising has been sub-par. I should set a goal for this month. Lord knows I probably won't stick to it. My only goals for this month are: Buy all that cool stuff, stay cool, and save money. Oh yeah, lose weight and get hooked up with a girl. Do you think this is the month? I don't want another lonely Valentine's day. My track record for lonely Valentine's Days is 18/19. Ehh... that's not too great, is it? At least I have one.

Tonight I am going to see Brotherhood of the Wolf. Hooray! Until then, I'm going to clean my room and try to organize stuff. That's about it for now! Oh yeah, I'm so much in love with the guitar player from Softball, it's not even funny.

12.25a
QT Girl Update: I won't usually work on Thursdays, but I did today. So, I went to QT to try to figure out her name, but as I walked in, she was walking out! She was taking the trash out. And wearing a coat. I think someone's playing a joke on me! Tomorrow I must find out her name!

I might go to Iowa City tomorrow to see this girl for myself. No, not QT girl! The *other* girl. I don't know, though. It sounds like fun, and I don't have anything else to do. But then again, it's an hour and a half car drive.

That's about it for today. School was cancelled tonight so I just slept from 7p-11.30, a nice nap. That's about everything for me. I'm spent

02.01.30
11.52p
February is going to be an awesome month. It starts out Friday when Brotherhood of the Wolf opens. It looks to be cool. Then, later on in the month, the Mr. Show DVD, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back DVD, and a cool concert at the Botan. Oh yeah, can't forget my love Maggie Cheung in the Criterion DVD of In the Mood for Love. All of this cool stuff in just one month. I can hardly believe it!

It snowed here today. Did I ever tell you that I love driving on snow? It's so fun!

I guess the operation isn't going so great. Well, at least today it didn't. Nick didn't see her, and Josh wasn't around to try. Tomorrow it's all up to Josh. If Josh gets something, then I'll be in Iowa City on Friday night! That's about all the news from me. Later!

02.21p
It's hard to believe. It's almost like a dream. It's finally happened. After all these prayers!

Anyways, just got off work. I tried to find out QT Girl's name today, but she was mopping the floor while I was there, so it would have been weird to walk up to her just to see her name. Oh well, I'll have a chance tomorrow since I'm going to work at InterMat again. It's pretty really low-key and just sitting around, but it's alright. Much better than a fast-paced stressful job. I already have one of those!

Operation: Get Me a Chick is going well. Hopefully today my agents will make contact with the target.

01.52a
Aw yeah, a brand-new H-Dog article! He is my favorite columnist from The Onion. I'm glad he's finally back.

I put a new section up there on the left. See it? That's right, a webcam! It pops up in a new window and is refreshed every 22 seconds or so. Hopefully it will be fun and exciting.

That's about it for now. Mimi, I hope you feel better! R-Dog OUT.

01.43p
Ah... I have a lot to do today. I'm really excited about girls, but I realized that whenever I like girls, it's always two of them and not just one... just to complicate things even more. Then, I don't get either.

01.25a
Ah, January is almost over. Here are my latest colorgenics test results. It's pretty dead on!

02.01.28
10.41p
After five hours of work, and five hours of thinking about QT girl (I guess that's her nickname now), I have come to the realization that, well, it probably won't work out.

Maybe this is my ever-constant pessimism, but at work I was equally really really excited and daydreaming of going out with her, and really really sad because she probably won't like me, won't like the things I like, and etc. I don't know. I'm a lot less excited. But, there is something that gets me excited.

Nick C. said that if QT girl doesn't work out, he found a girl up at Iowa for me. Apparently she wears Weezer shirts all the time and is cute. Hopefully she's not taken! So, in one small day I go from liking 0 girls to liking 2, and being liked by neither. At least I'll be happy until they reject me.

01.38p
I'm in love again.

Well, I can't really say "love" because I don't know anything about her (including her name) and have only talked to her once- during a transaction at QT. The funny thing is that I was the one purchasing something. That's right, she works at QT. Not mine, though, but the one closest to my house! The bad part is that she only works mornings, or that's what my detective work has yielded me so far.

I'm tempted just to ask the manager, because she seems to be friendly towards me (after I complained to my dad that I was treated like a thief one time in that same story, which I was) and willing to talk. Part of me also wants to find out on my own... but fat chance of that happening, right? It would be a really awkward situation, to ask about someone when they are working, especially at a convinence store! Especially at MY convinence store! *sigh* When will the cruelty ever end?

At least I know when she works, so I can start stopping in. Everyday. That is, if I make it up before 11 when I don't have to. I probably won't, but 'love' makes people do some crazy things!

The reason I was up early today was that I started my new job at InterMat. Yeah, it was pretty uneventful. Most of it consisted of me looking at their website. I answered phones, but 100% of the time the people knew who they wanted to talk to, so I just transferred them. The guy who "trains" me or whatever is Jon, he's pretty cool and laid back. The other "John" guy seems nice, but we haven't really talked. He is a journalism guy, so that might be cool to talk to him. Then, there's the owner, Tom, who is pretty nice as well, but I guess he's not much of a people-person. Ah, like me!

So, I guess that's it for now. My quest (tomorrow hopefully, if not Wednesday for sure) is to find out that girl's name! It will be as easy as looking at her nametag. Then, if everything goes as planned, I'll be all suave and ask her out. Ha. The thought makes me laugh. Later!

02.01.27
06.57p
Well, last night wasn't too bad. I mean, I got to hang out with Ryan and Greg which was cool, but we had nothing to do! Argh, so boring... this town, I mean. So, I went to bed at like 3a last night and woke up at 4, 5, and then finally at 6 for good. I worked from 7-3 and then came home. I bleached my hair (again!!) for the last time, I promise. Just getting the last bit of orange out, but it's still there! I used three whole packets of the stuff that's supposed to get rid of the red and gold tones. The lady said that most people only need one. Oh well.

So, in other news, I'm tired. I have some stuff to do, but probably won't do it tonight. I bought Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima on Casey's suggestion. I still have like 20 other books I need to read, too. I also have like 20 movies I bought and haven't watched yet, either. Weird. Oh well.

I guess that's about it for today. Nothing really exciting.

02.01.26
04.14p
Today just might suck. It's four, and I don't know what I'm going to do tonight. Looks like a fun night of driving around by myself. I was really sad yesterday, and I guess I feel a little better today. I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday! Geez.

So, yeah, that's about it. I work tomorrow at 7a-3p, and then I don't know what I'm going to do. I wish I'd plan these things out.

02.01.25
11.11p
I was just talking to a friend, and told her this story. I don't think I ever put it up here, so here it is. It's one of the... I don't know. It just sucked, but what can you expect?

I was working at QT with this other guy, and we were both behind the counter. This girl comes in the door, looks at us and says, "My friend said there was a hot guy that worked here. I guess he's not working." That's right, to both of us. Then, I cried.

Not really, but it sucked. Why does stuff like that happen to me? I mean, my self-esteem is already low enough... no need to go kick it down any lower, ladies. Thanks.

After writing that dream out and thinking about it, I've become really lonely and sad.

03.30p
Sleeping late feels good. I had the best dream I have ever had. I'm going to post it in special since it's so special. I'm hungry.

01.17a
Ummm... the journal is now back on the main page, but you gotta click something once to get there! Sorry people, I know it was nice to have it pop up right there everytime you came to my page, but you'll live, right? I decided to put all the sub-pages down underneath the menu. I think it's a good place for them.

I have a headache now. It's killer. I hate how I get dumb crushes on girls who I'll never meet in real life. That's dumb. Why am I so dumb?

Tomorrow is work at 7p, so I have the whole day to myself. Hooray. I don't know what I'll do, probably sleep. Well, that's it for now. This update is over, and so is my head. I don't know what that even means.

02.01.24
11.54p
Ugh. I just spent too long setting up my webcam. Hopefully my USB hub comes tomorrow and then I'll be able to hook up my webcam, mouse, and digital camera all at once! Ah, what a life that will be!

If you didn't notice (and I don't know how you couldn't), I moved this page to betaminus.org/journal. Of course I didn't change any links yet, but that will come later. I don't know what I want to do yet, but it will all come to me soon! Just be patient and eventually I'll get some cool stuff up here.

Speech class was alright. Like, 20 people showed up that haven't been there the first two weeks. Just notetaking and being bored. Well, that's all I have time for now... gonna work on some webpage stuff. Later!

12.23a
It feels like 3a. Really. I think my sleep patterns are getting back in order. That's good, since I got that job at Intermat. It's only part-time and during the day, but it's still another paycheck (which will go DIRECTLY into Japan Trip Savings).

How has life been lately? Well, just going, I guess. I bleached my hair which was fun, then I bleached it again. It's still kinda orange but not nearly as much as before. Hooray. School is alright, Ethics class seems like it will be easy. There are only two tests (mid-term and final) and quizzes that are just stuff from notes from the class before. Other than that, it's just people arguing about killin' someone or something. I don't really know. There are two cute girls that sit in the row right left of me! So, I try to sneak glances at them every once in a while. Lit is easy, just gotta do the reading. Actually, I don't even have to do the reading. I wrote a dumb two-page essay that I half-assed at the end because I was in a hurry. I wonder if he'll be able to tell that the first half of the essay is basically two or three long paragraphs, and the second half is like seven small paragraphs. Speech I'll talk about tomorrow, since I'll have a better grasp of it after then.

Taking a cue from Greg, the stuff I've been listening to lately is the pillows' "Little Buster" and "Ride on Shooting Star" both from FLCL and Third Street Dope Dealer's "Country Bumpkin" which is funny as heck. This won't be every update, but I just thought you'd like to know.

I guess tomorrow is La Hacienda and then shopping for stuff. Life has been really slow lately. Just moving along at a slow pace with little responsibility for anything. Is this it? Is this the life I'm supposed to be living? I have solace in the fact that hopefully this summer and beyond will be fun. I've been doing a lot of thinking about *stuff* lately, nothing in particular but just *stuff*. I've started a new article for iistix, but haven't done jack on it. I'm still thinking about life and stuff. Here's a quote: Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. - Chuang-Tzu (350 B.C.). Is it true? Well, I'm not 'striving for happiness' right now and... I guess I am happy. I'm just not happy sticking to the status-quo. That's why I bleached my hair.

02.01.23
03.04p
I did it again. Check out the special page again to see the new results. Actually, it's still damp... the true test will be when it's totally dry. That's it for now.

02.01.22
06.11p
School soon. I bleached my hair today. Not as blonde as I would have liked, but check the pics out anyways in the special section. My mom keeps telling me she hates it and it looks stupid on me. *sigh* I don't know. Is it really that bad?

Also, go to www.colorgenics.com and see if it worked for you. This is how they describe me right now. It's actually pretty accurate. Am I really that egotistical? Perhaps...

02.01.21
09.14p
Work was really busy. Too busy. So busy that it sucked. I need to learn how to not sleep.

How come... people I meet online get tired of me so quickly? Besides a few special people who seem to be able to tolerate me, the people I meet online consistantly do not talk to me. I mean, they talk to me for the first few times, but once we get past the 'get to know you' stage, then we have nothing to talk about. I guess it's just me. This only applies to people who I know online only, who I have never met in real life. If you are reading this, it's probably not you.

I bought bleaching stuff tonight. I don't know if I want to bleach it tonight. I will soon. I have lots of stuff to do still. I didn't eat for 28 hours but then I did eat and it was good. That's my day.

03.23p
I'm going to work soon, but just wanted to tell everybody that I did indeed sleep until 3p and I am screwed. I have so much stuff to do!

12.47a
I have so much to do! I'm going to try to remember what I wrote in my last entry before it was DESTROYED by my evil computer. *sigh* Anyways, I guess it's best to start from the beginning. So here I go.

Daren and I waited for Casey on Saturday night for hours and hours, and eventually he showed up. We ate at Yee Ho Garden, and then were dropped off at Skate South for the concert that night. Road to Ruin was playing.

Suddenly, I find this post to be really boring. Maybe it's because I already told this story once, but I feel like not telling any more of it. But, I'll go on. Road to Ruin was good, and there were lots of skateboarders. After that some dumb stuff happened that I don't want to talk about.

Today I went to work, came home, took a nap, then went to take pictures of the Creepy Kids. It was fun and wacky. I have the biggest to-do list for tomorrow. Let me organize my thoughts here.

Put my check in the bank, shop for a small shelf to store stuff on (my room is so messy), do laundry, fold clothes from last time of doing laundry, turn in job application at Intermat Wrestling (my new hopeful place of employment, more on that later), write a report, read lit book and send in journal, and I have to work from 4p-8p. I don't know how I'm going to fit all of this into one day, but I'm pretty sure sleeping until 3p won't help, so I'm going to try to wake up by 10 or so. Oh yeah, I also want to cut my hair (by myself, because I like the uneven, messy look) and bleach it. I don't want it to be orange, like it has been in the past. Either blonde or whiteish/blonde. If the mood strikes me, I might dye it red later on sometime.

Sorry for the crappy entry. At least it's something, right? Life is good right now.

02.01.20
03.35p
Umm... I just typed out a long entry but then clicked 'No' when it asked me if I wanted to save. Grr... I really don't feel like typing it out again so you'll have to wait until later!

02.01.19
02.19p
I slept. Hooray.

09.05a
...I didn't go to sleep. I'm screwed. I work at 7a Sunday. How am I going to get up? Why'd I stay up?

05.19a
Daren H. is laying in my bed right now. Don't take that the wrong way.

Actually we have been up playing GTA3 and watching FLCL (again!). That show is so cool! I guess after a few "deep" or "thoughtful" updates I would update with normal stuff, just to keep a nice balance here. Tomorrow is Casey's last day, and my first whole day to myself (by which I mean, no obligations to anybody else all day long) in a whole week. I'll probably spend it with Casey, and Daren I guess since he is in my bed right now. I want to go visit Yuko to see how she is doing in her new home. I don't know what else I want to do.

Right now life is pretty cool, but different than what I thought it would be like now a few months ago. I am working a little (only three days a week) and going to school a little (only three days a week). During the school days I requested work off, so I don't have any obligations until seven pm. During the work days it's almost the same thing, I'm working at about the same time I'd be going to school if I had a night class that night. Weekends are funny, because Saturday is my only day to myself (see above) and Sunday because I work in the morning and am usually so tired I take a nap from 4p until about 9 or 10p, constituting my sleep for that day. Yes, the weeks lately have been strange, but it's also strangely nice.

I have been kind of content at work lately, which is surprising as it was my main topic of bitching for the past few months. Today, though, I actually thought about asking to go full-time. I don't know, sometimes it's an alright job. Tonight was really easy, not to much stress, but then I'll turn around and Sunday will probably suck hardcore. I always look at the job listings on Sunday (which is the only day we get the newspaper) and online most every day. I want to get a job in a warehouse or something just stocking stuff. I kind of don't want an office-type job or a job where I just sit and get fat all day because I'm already fat enough as it is. Oh yeah, I swam the other day for the first time and couldn't even do a 50 without getting tired and stopping. Pathetic, huh? Oh well, I skipped today and am planning on going sometime tomorrow.

That's about it. I'm getting really excited for Japan. I need to save money. I need to make money. I'll figure it out tomorrow (read: today). It's my day off, after all.

I modified the entry below a little for clarification as to who I was talking about! Not Goth Billy, but um... Blitz Billy. Yeah. Ha ha. Here's an important something I was thinking about:

Tonight I must have dropped my wallet in my classroom or something. Right as I walked into the door of my house, my parents said that someone from DMACC called and said I forgot my wallet. I went right back to get it and (fortunately) nothing was missing. Here is the weird part: My parents were so sure that something would be missing, credit card or money or whatever. I was pretty sure nothing would be missing. Am I more trusting of people? Or am I just not as paranoid. I don't know, but that is not the interesting part. The thing is, in my situation, the only possible emotion for me to feel is sadness. See, if I go and everything is there, well, I knew it all along. If something is missing, then it sucks and I am sad and angry. From my parents' point of view, they can feel happy that everything is there. See where I'm going with this? Well, I was just thinking, is this part of the reason why I'm so down most of the time? This way of thinking?

I told my dad on the way to DMACC, "It's dumb to worry about whether or not anything is missing now, because it doesn't make a difference. Once we get there and I get my wallet, then I'll worry about it." He told me I was smart, but I'm not so sure. Smart, maybe, but there is also no room for happiness. I don't know, it was a weird conclusion I made sitting in that car. I guess my non-confrontationalism is good for not stressing over things, but bad in the long run. Or it may not be, I'm still trying to figure it out.

Hope that was thinker for everyone. I'm watching this anime called FLCL or Furi Kuri. It's by GAINAX, who also made Eva. It's pretty awesome. I have only watched two episodes (out of six) so far, but it rocks my world. I still don't know what the heck is going on, but there is a chick who rides a Vespa and carries a blue Rickenbacker bass around with her! Awesome.

Billy (L. aka Blitz Billy) doesn't visit my webpage! He says it's because online journals are an excuse not to talk to people in real life. I could see where he is coming from, but if it wasn't for dumb livejournal he wouldn't even have noticed!

Yeah, I have noticed online journaling, or blogging, or whatever you want to call it has become increasingly popular lately. Heck, everyone and their brother or sister has a livejournal account. Why? I don't know. What is the attraction of having an online journal. Boredom? I know that the internet becomes increasingly boring, and having webpages that are updated regularly with little tidbits about friends who I don't see or talk to on a daily basis is kind of convienent. I mean, I could call, or e-mail, but it would probably be the same as reading it on a page.

I honestly don't know why I even do this anymore. It used to be a place where I could complain about everything. Yeah, sometimes it would even be a place for me to vent anger at people without actually confronting them in real life. I'm pretty horrible at doing that, though, so I at least have some sort of excuse, right? Now, though, I don't think I complain as much as I just say "sup, here is what is going on with me now." I don't know. Some people say they missed my page when it was gone for a while, and some people probably didn't care at all. Well, I guess I'm doing it for those people who enjoy reading about me, and what's happening in my life. That, and it's something fun to do.

Ugh! My sleeping habits have been really messed up as of late. I have been staying up until 3a, and sleeping until 3p. I can't help it! I set my alarm for 10a but just turn it off and go back to sleep for "a few more minutes," wake up, and it's 3. Help me!

I have to email my teacher with my journal. I don't think I will, because it was due Monday. I'll just feign ignorance or stupidity when he asks about it tonight. "Oh, I forgot we had to do it! Sorry, I have been busy!" or something along those lines.

I got my Morning Musume Summer Promo Pack today. Quite cool. The coolest part is the bottle holder thing that came with it! It can be used to hold 20oz. bottles of stuff, and says 'morning musume' on it! I should stop spending money. I should put my check in the bank so my credit card check does not bounce. I should go to Aspen and swim. I think I'll do all of that right now. Later!

Japan Trip Summer 2002 Trip in the Summer Revised List of People Who Want to Go or Might Go:
Eric B., Nick C., Daren H., Billy S. That's four total (not including me). A month ago it was nine. The fellowship is breaking.

02.59a
Told you I wouldn't go to bed. I ordered an Asuka Figure. She is from Evangelion, one of the best anime series of all time. I really love that series and have been meaning to watch it again. It's 13+ hours long (not including the movies and such)! I also love awesome action figures, and this one is really cool! It comes with lots of stuff, so I thought I'd get it. Only $20 including s&h, so not a bad deal at all. I'll keep you updated on all my cool purchases.

01.00a
Well, I heard from the Right Stuf today, and I guess they hired someone else, so that means I did not get the job. Yeah, that's right. It sucks, I guess I'll keep on looking.

Today I went to work, and it sucked. Then, Nick and I saw Orange County which would have been an alright movie but they kept playing that Butterfly song that was popular a year ago. A YEAR AGO. Plus, it's a horrible song, so that didn't help.

Tomorrow I am going to do lots of homework, clean, and go to school. I get to go to Ethics class but I have to read 4 chapters of Lit. Plus 2 chapters of ethics. Blah. Well I should probably get to bed here soon, but I probably won't. Hopefully I'll find a job soon! Anybody hiring?

I have to work today =\

I had a dream we went to Adventureland, rode the Raging River, and got wet because our tube flipped over. Then, we waited in line for so long for the bathroom, which turns out was a unisex bathroom. There were girls on one side (in stalls) and guys on the other (in stalls). It was strange. Then, after the bathroom, we ended up in a movie theater watching a movie about a war. On screen, we were shooting these people, and then I took out my pellet gun and shot them too. The funny thing is, they died in the movie when I shot them from my chair. Interactive movies! Well, after that, the movie was over and we all left. I don't remember much more, but isn't that enough? I always remember at least some of my dreams.

I'm hungry. I only work for 4 hours today, but I have to read 4 chapters for my Lit class. That sucks.

I don't have to work today! Okay, well I just got back from work, but I don't have to work for the rest of the day! Cool, huh? Although I have the rest of the day off, it will probably be spent doing these things in this order of importance: sleep, watching tv (Adult Swim on tonight), cleaning my room, and homework. Boo. Oh well, at least sleep is on top, where it should be.

I want to buy the Deltron 3030 album. Del is cool.

Eric and the Floaters (see link below) had a show last night, and it was pretty fun! A string on my guitar broke and I had to use the Papa Roach guitar, but everything was still cool. We played hard, and well, and the people said "hooray" or something.

Umm, that's about it. I guess I should get to my list. I feel like writing something about a certain topic, but I'll hold off on it now. Oh yeah, Mr. Person (my old AP Lang Comp teacher) stopped into QT today. He was probably the coolest teacher that I had. Later!

02.01.11
02.51p
I have work today at 4... which means I have to leave here at 3:30. I have to go buy books too, so I'm going to leave shortly. I don't have much to say, classes went well. I pretty much hate them all equally.

EatF has a show tomorrow at the Botanical Center at 7. I think. Go.

That's about it. Everyone is back home, Yuko leaves tomorrow. It's sad, but I guess it has to happen sometime, right? I'm off to go do stuff now. Work sucks.

02.01.09

I guess the interview went well. He said that a lot of applicants don't even know what The Right Stuf does, so I was way ahead of all of them... you know, because I'm an old-skool anime nerd and all. I won't know if I got the job or not until next week. So, until then, we play the waiting game.

"The waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos."

10.16a
Last night was pretty fun. I was lied to a lot to get me to go, but it was worth it. I'll have the rest of the pictures up later today.

I'm off to my interview. Wish me luck.

02.01.08

Dave Thomas died. Noooooooo! That sucks.

01.01a
I saw The Royan Tenenbaums and it was so awesome. Funny and tragic. I had to laugh at how messed up the characters were. I bet if there was a movie about me it would be about the same. Actually, I complain a lot about my life, but the characters in The Royal Tenenbaums were a lot more messed up than I am. Oh well. In other news, I changed the scrollbar you see to the right of this frame. The grey looked ugly and clashed with the page, so I made it in the same colors. Do you like it? I don't know yet. I might play around with it a bit more.

I might work at the Right Stuf International! It's kind of a dream job for me. Not a *dream* dream job, but I think it will actually be a fun job. I mean, anime! I used to be the biggest anime nerd! And now I'll be able to work at an anime company. Even though they just do mailorder stuff, it will still be fun. Hopefully. I interview on Wednesday, so wish me luck! That's about all the news I have for now. Oh yeah, class starts tomorrow >_<

02.01.06
11.33p
I haven't been around lately. I've been busy doing things, trying to divide time between friends. It sucks, I'm horrible at it, and... I don't know. It sucks when you have to choose to do something with one person (or people) over another. Oh well.

Yuko came back today and gave me tons of stuff! Wow. I felt bad taking it. Here is a short list: Rika Ishikawa's photo book, Pucchi Best 2 CD, Morning Musume manga, Minimoni buttons, assorted stickers and cards, 3 boxes of Mousse Pocky, a bag of Japanese Kit-Kats (which I swear are different and better than their American counterpart), and a tape of Japanese TV stuff (featuring Morning Musume, of course). It was a lot of stuff and really expensive! It's soooooo cool but I felt bad because it's so much stuff! Argh, oh well.

Alex left today. He was 1/3 of the Pomona crew. Since last update we have went cow-tipping (or tried to go before getting scared and running out of the field as fast as we could), to Perkins, to Be-Bop's, and played videogames at my house for many hours last night. It was fun, and I'll put pictures and the funniest video ever on here soon. Actually, I might do it right after this update.

That's about it. School starts this week. Hopefully it doesn't suck and there are lots of hot girls in my class. Not like I'd do anything about it, but they are fun to look at. Later.

A brief summary of what I have been up to lately: On Wendesday Casey's friends Robert, Alex, and Drew (in order of arrival in Des Moines) came from their respective corners of the country (Maryland, San Francisco, and Maryland respectively) to Des Moines because... well... I don't know. Anyways, they came, and after bumming around Des Moines for a little bit, we went to Iowa City to see the Hawkeyes basketball team play (and win) against Wisconsin. Then, off to the bars. I didn't drink, but most everyone else did. It was alright, not many people out and about so it wasn't nearly as annoying as it could have been. Then, we went back to Billy's dorm and bummed around a bit more. I slept on this huge loft that was really high up and it was cool.

The next day, today (err... yesterday?) we went to Coral Ridge mall and played games at the arcade, including Dance Dance Revolution. I'm alright, I beat Paranoia Rebirth so it was all good enough. I came home and then the whole crew went out AGAIN to Sprockets which is a go-kart racing track. It cost $20 for 20 minutes. A bit steep, but these cars go FAST! My average speed was 39mph! Yeah, that's right. It was actually more fun than I thought it would be. We then went back to Casey's and played N64 for a few hours and then... well, that's it.

I have been busy with the boys for a good 24+ hours, so I'm now home alone for some much-needed rest and relaxation. I might stay up late tonight and just bum around online, maybe. 2002 has been good to me so far, how about you? I know it's only been four days, but hopefully it'll be awesome! I just want to exercise and stuff... but I have to wait until after the kids leave, or at least until school starts next week. I am sitting here with fingers crossed waiting to get an email from the Right Stuf that tells me that they are hiring! I hope I hope that I don't have to look for a job anymore, because I have basically stopped for the week since they emailed me asking for a resume. I hope I hope!

I guess that's about it. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow, I could either go to Mystic Casino and gamble, go to Casey's grandma's house with the Pomona kids, or go see The Royal Tenenbaums. I really want to go see the movie! I loved Rushmore, which is by the same director and writing team. Ah, we'll see how everything turns out. I'm just making it up as I go along now, and it seems to be working pretty well.

02.01.02
02.30a
Man, isn't that date cool? 2002 just looks and sounds like a cool year. Maybe it's my fascination with the number 2. Or maybe it's just a good vibe that the year is giving off. Everyone I've talked to has said that they think 2002 is going to be a cool year. Hopefully it's true. I think this year is going to kick ass.

But, I guess you all want to hear about my New Years and stuff like that, right? Well, even if you don't here it is. I worked until 10pm, so there goes half the night. I came home and Greg called and told us where they were at, so I went to that party. It was in this old house which was pretty cool. It was weird because I didn't know anybody there, not even the people who were throwing it! Oh well... I ate gumbo for the first time in my life, and as Pam has told me many times: it rocks. I love it! I want to eat it all the time!

So, we left that party to go to another party. John Brower. I think that's his name. Anyways, it was really close to my house! Weird! When we got there, it turns out the party had ended earlier, disbanded to go to other parties. So, I spent my New Years at his place. Really low-key and weird, but I liked it. It was funny because there were a ton of people in his house, and it turns out that all but one of them were his family! What a huge family! Their dog also went pee on the floor.

After that, we traveled once again to Nick C.'s house to play cards and Gamecube. There were a few people there, but not many. Ryan and Greg and Scott and HB left before I did, because Ryan had to work and stuff. So, after they left I just stayed there and played cards until about 4 in the morning.

That's my New Years. Today I went to Mr. Egg Roll to see Connie, whom I met in California last May but haven't seen since, which is kind of weird since she was here in Des Moines all summer. Then I cleaned Yuko's room (for Alex) and my room (for myself), and went to Nick's AGAIN to play cards and Gamecube AGAIN! You'd think I'd get tired of that, but I don't. Casey and I won the team pitch tournament, beating both Dustin Nordell + Mark Pille AND Nick + Erica. How come we rock so much? I don't know. Anybody who wants to challenge us in team pitch is welcome to! Too bad it wasn't for money...

So, the year is off to a good start, and the Pomona crew comes tomorrow. Tomorrow night will be spent in Iowa City hittin' up the town and then we come back to terrorize Des Moines. It will be fun, I know it. Digital camera's batteries are all charged up and ready to go, so I'll have a lot of fun pictures to share. That's about it for now, this is a long post! I think I'll post my New Year's Resolutions in the special section. Later! Have a good 2002 everyone!

01.12.30
11.55p
Argh, I'm so tired! This is going to be short and sweet. Today was Ryan M's birthday, so we all went to Chuck E. Cheese's and ate pizza and played Skee-ball. Tony, Ryan's brother, beat my Skee-ball score of 300 with 350. I have been dethroned. Anyways, Happy Birthday to him.

Yesterday was a bunch of nothin' special so there is no need to go into that.

One of my most favorite bands, The Impossibles, have broken up. I am sad.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and everyone will be out partying and having fun, but we don't know what we're going to do. I work from 2p-10p tomorrow, so hopefully by the time I get off work they'll be some kind of plans or something. I'm tired. Goodnight!

01.12.29
04.15a
Yes, I'm still awake. What am I doing? Reading my old page updates, of course!

Wow, I really sound sad and pathetic a lot of the time. Then, sometimes, in spurts of pure genius, I have one or two updates that just blow me away. Like the one about regret, or the poem I wrote, or the one about organized religion. I must have been on something because they are really tight, worded well, and actually coherent. Sometimes I amaze even me.

I also noticed that a lot of times I whine about girls. 90% of the time I know who I was talking about. I tried to make it pretty anonymous when I was updating, so I'd just use ambiguous (sp?) pronouns and such. However, that other 10% of the time when I have no clue who I liked at the time... that's kind of scary! I wish I would have put something in there to clue myself in. Now I'm just all confused.

I recommend reading it sometime, for those who are interested. I found the Kettering entries to be the most enjoyable, just because it was a weird time in my life. After that, it's mostly just complaining about girls and how boring Des Moines is. There are a few gems, though, and I dare you to find them. Please, talk about stuff in the guestbook! That's what it's there for!

So, I'm happy now. I have surprised myself, which is something that is kind of hard to do. I don't think there is any girl stuff going on with me (an update for those long-time page readers who wonder about this kind of stuff... of whom there are none), although I would really like there to be. I don't know. I am kind of happy in my rut of depression and no self-esteem right now. When a girl comes along again (and you know she will) that causes me to question my every action, word, and thought, then you'll hear some of that bitching again. But not until then, I promise!

Here is a funny quote from some of the old archives: "So, girls like confidence, huh? I wish I could get some of that stuff." --Me. Ha! I'm so funny!

12.32a
I just added the last link to the side menu there... at least until I think of another section to add. It's called 'special' and it's just going to be thoughts and things that are not meant for regular journal updates. Hopefully, special articles and written stuff by me that deserves a special place to go. I think the first thing I'll do is a big 2001 year-end looking-back special thingy.

In other news... I worked tonight. It wasn't so bad. My job hunting is actually going well and the Right Stuf actually asked for a resume instead of turning me down when I asked if they had any openings this time! Sweet! It would be awesome to work for an anime mail-order company, wouldn't it?

I think that's about all I have. I work on New Year's Eve until 10pm, and I have no clue what I'm going to do afterwards. It's Ryan's birthday soon. I'm going to start working out as soon as I feel well enough to do it. I'm broke as a joke, but hopefully when I get my new job I'll save some money. Say something fun in the guestbook! It's becoming quite lonely over there. That's all for now, check back later for more late-night updating fun.

Oh yeah, I added two more pictures of me to that picture thing up there. Now another reason to come back and stare at my webpage! Hooray!

01.12.28

I know, I'm sick, so I should be in bed, right? I already took a long nap today, so I'm not tired. I don't know what I'm doing up now... just waiting for something. Actually I'm trying to get an mp3. Franz Liszt - Transcendental Etude no. 10 if you were wondering.

I am really excited to go to college next year, even though I still have a semester of DMACC and a trip to Japan beforehand. I am really leaning towards the University of Iowa. I don't know why I'm so excited, because I have no clue what I'd major in, but oh well. I'm tired, and it's late.

I work tomorrow, and I'm going to miss the Horrorshow Hoods show. That sucks a lot. They haven't played for a long time and I haven't seen them for a long time. I'm interested in seeing the new bass player and stuff. Oh well. They'll be other shows, I'm sure.

I don't know why I am updating, just out of boredom. But that isn't so bad, is it? Sometimes good things come out of boredom! I need to get out and do things, today I didn't do much of anything all day. Partly because I'm still feeling bad, and partly because... I don't know. I don't think I realize that it's break. When the crew from Pomona gets here, hopefully we'll have fun, road trippin' and stuff all over the place. Until then, work, sleep, and New Years. I still don't have any plans for New Years. Hopefully I don't work.

Argh, this has been kind of all over the place. I guess some dumb things come out of boredom too. Goodnight.

01.12.27
01.53p
Despite being sick the past few days I have still managed to go to the dentist (I just got back), see Ali (which wasn't great at all), and play a heck of a lot of Super Monkey Ball and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

However, the fact remains that I am still sick, and that sucks. I am constantly tired and feel under the weather. Blah.

If you haven't talked to me lately, you wouldn't know that my thoughts have been geared towards attending the University of Iowa next next (fall 2002) semester. Why? I don't know, there are a lot of people who are going to be there and it also has Japanese class. I would love to do a study abroad in Japan or Korea and it has programs for both! I'm still not 100% sure about it, but hopefully things will work out.

Argh, I have a headache now. I think I'm going to go. The guestbook is not working right now, but hopefully it will soon. Thanks, later, have a good day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

To all of you who I have talked to, whined to, and interacted with in any way, every person has meant a lot to me this past year. I have made a lot of new friends. A lot has happened this year despite the circumstances. Next year looks to be even better with a Japan trip in the works for summer and maybe even a trip to a University in the fall.

Umm... enough with the mushy crap. I finally got off work early tonight, but I didn't even ask. Oh well, early is early, I guess. I don't know what is going on tonight, tomorrow, or the next day, but hopefully it will be filled with happy and fun. That's about all I have right now, later!

01.12.24
12.39a
Today had a lot of potential. It started off good. I went to see Lord of the Rings with my dad as a Christmas present. It was good the second time around, and I noticed some things I didn't the first.

Then, I came home and Josh had come home a day early! So I went over there and we picked up Dave, and we were really bored. We went to Valley West and Half Price Books and Borders, but it was all kinda just time-killing, thus kinda boring. I'm not saying they aren't cool guys, but it was just that we had nothing to do and a lot of time to do it.

Then, I went to pick up Casey from the airport but conned Eric into coming over too. So, we both went to the airport and saw Tanner (weird!) and Casey. We thought he'd like to chill with Mark and Cate more, so we left and were going to go film some stuff for Yuki as a late Christmas present, but we couldn't think of anything to film. So, we just came back to my house and transferred his Japan trip footage to regular VHS tape. That's about my day.

Sound exciting? It was, kinda, I guess. I got to see some people I haven't seen for a while, but what we did was boring: nothing! Oh yeah, Eric and I decided to start breakdancing and Soapin' it up (with our soap shoes) again. Hopefully that will be fun. I still need a full-time job and I'm still looking.

I don't know what is up for tomorrow, but hopefully it's a little more eventful than today. Oh yeah, for all you people who say I'm fat, I'm going to work out again! Swimming and running and stuff like that, not hardcore weight lifting. So now you can't talk! So shut up!

01.12.22
06.48p
I go to work soon! Argh! Oh well, today I got up at 9.30 to wait for Emiri and Henna to show up. Emiri will spend the night here because tomorrow she is leaving with Yuko and Masaki to go back to Japan during break. So, after she showed up we went out to eat and then to Greg's house, where nobody was home except Masaki. Then, they all talked and I slept. Then, after I woke up like four hours later, they all thought I was some retarded 5-year old just because I woke up! Oh well. Then we came home and it's been boring because there is nothing to do!

So, I'm going to work for seven hours in about half an hour. Hopefully it won't be bad. Then, tomorrow, I'm going to go see Lord of the Rings with my Dad as a Christmas present and then Casey comes back at 10.30 pm. Hooray! We'll have some good times while he is back (hopefully). I guess that's about it. This has been one big jumbled mess of all of my thoughts right now, but it's all cool, right? Cool. Later.

01.12.20
08.32a
Yeah, you read that time right. It is now 8:30 AM! That's in the MORNING! Argh! See, I had to call Eric this morning before he went to school to see if we (Eric and the Floaters) were playing at that East show thingy. I guess we aren't. So, after waking up at 7, laying in bed wondering why I can't sleep until 7:30, and then waking up and playing around online for a bit, I have decided to stay up. I should clean my room or something.

But man, if Eric would have told me before, this never would have happened. If I die today because of lack of sleep, everyone will know who to blame... right?? That's it for now. I'm going to go take a shower, then go get some breakfast, then I don't know... Christmas shopping is a go for later on today. That's it.

01.12.19
10.33p
Sup. Lord of the Rings was awesome. I worked tonight, that was not awesome. One of the kids called in, so we were shorthanded for a few hours. Grr. It's not worth going into here, because you've all heard the same story before.

So, tomorrow Eric and the Floaters are playing a show... or are we?! I don't know! I hope Eric gets home sometime so he can tell me what's going on!

Otherwise, tomorrow will probably be filled with Christmas shopping. I don't know what else I'm going to do. I just have to get a few things, so that probably won't take long. Oh well, at least I don't have school!

Umm... that's all I can think of right now. I don't know what else to say, so I'll stop now. Later.

01.12.18
10.37a
Urgh. So, how'd it go? Alright. Turns out, the only *specific* essays he asked about were, you guessed it, about the FEW stories I *didn't* read! Why couldn't he have asked about the 20-odd stories I DID read? Huh?! Why?!

Oh, and I stayed up late last night finishing an essay for the final just to forget it this morning. So, I asked to email it to him, and I could see in his eye that he thought I was the biggest slacker and cheater ever. Man. If I really didn't do it, I wouldn't bother turning it in (like the reading journal I was supposed to turn in today, too), but when I actually do something and forget it... don't treat me like I'm a criminal!

I guess the rest of it went well.

Midnight showing at Wynnsong in Johnston, you say? Thanks, Nick. I guess it's the only place showing it at midnight around these parts.

Well, that's about it. Hopefully Eric calls soon so we can get our stuff figured out.

01.50a
Six more stories to read, but I'll probably just skim them. One essay that I totally forgot about FINISHED! Zero titles/authors of short stories memorized. I'll still be up for another hour or so. I am known as the master of pneumonic devices, though, so it shouldn't be too long.

*sigh* I'll be glad when this is all over with. Then I'll have two weeks of FREEDOM! No school or anything to worry about... oh... wait... yeah... WORK. Speaking of my least favorite place ever, I asked to go a "little early... like 30 minutes or so" early on Sunday when I was working. How many minutes did I get to go home early? Well, take my request and subtract a zero from it, and that'll be close. Yes, once again I am screwed by work. Why? Who knows. However, I do know one thing: if I don't get to see Lord of the Rings tomorrow at midnight (that is, if there are no theaters showing it at midnight), and I am forced to see it sometime Wednesday... work will pay dearly if I am not let off early. See, I work from 3p-10p. The earliest they would show the movie would be, let's say a noon showing. I can't go to that, because the movie is three hours long. I would be late for work, and plus why would I want to watch an awesome movie knowing the whole time that I'm about to go to the worst place on Earth? It's a bit anti-climatical.

So, Lord of the Rings looks to be exciting. After my final tommorow, I don't know what is going down. I have tried to look for info about any midnight showings all over the internet, but to no avail. Hopefully some place is showing it. If not, then the first chance I'll have to see it is about 22 hours later, at a 9:00 or 10:00 showing. And that is only if work will let me off early. They better.

Oh yeah. Katelyn got into Columbia. Isn't that big news? She is smart, but seriously, I knew she would and could get in the whole time. Congratulations!

That's about it for now. I still got some work to do, and some sleep to get before my big final. I don't know what else there is to say here, so I think I'll stop now. Goodnight!

01.12.17
08.06p
17 short stories down, a few more to go. Turns out some of them are plays, like one-acts or somethin'. Blah.

04.11p
Okay, I have 24 short stories to read. I also have 27 poems. I have read 2 short stories. Let's do some math.

24+27 = 51. 51-2=49. I still have 49 things to read before tomorrow. Okay. I'll get started now.

Best one so far: "The Collector of Treasures" by Bessie Head. Did she have that whole thing planned out?!

01.12.16
11.12p
Me so tired. So so tired. I took a nap, but I don't even know how long it was for. I am watching Cowboy Bebop now. It's a good show. Oh my god! This is the episode... the one that they play the song Green Bird in. That song is so cool.

So, what's on the agenda for tonight/tomorrow/and this week? Well, hopefully tonight I'll read some of the short stories that I must for my final on Tuesday. Tomorrow I'll take my make-up business final and read some more. Tuesday is my big, last, stressful final. Also, Lord of the Rings comes out on Wendesday, so Tuesday night might or might not be filled with waiting in line for the midnight show. Wednesday is work from 3p-10p. =(

Thursday is... I forget! Somethin' is going on Thursday, though. Oh yeah, that show at East! EatF is playing. Then, Friday I work from 7p-10p (what kind of hours are those? I might ask for them off) and Saturday Emiri and Masaki are staying the night here so they, plus Yuko, can leave for Japan on Sunday morning. Too bad I work from 8p-3a on Saturday night, or I could chill with them.

So, that is my week in a nutshell. I don't know why I just typed that, but I felt like it.

Err... yeah, so I think that's about it for now. I must go read. But I'll probably stay up until like 4 AM on this damn thing.

12.41a
Here I sit... drinking my 98-cent grape drink (not juice!) out of my He-Man cup from the Dirt Mall.

12.13a
Here is a list of everybody that has expressed interest to me about going to Japan next summer on what is now being called Japan Trip Summer 2002. I'll make up a cooler name later.
Greg G., Ryan M., Billy S., Eric B., Scott O., Daren H., Nick C., Casey L., and Emiri H. If I missed or forgot you, sorry. If I spelled your name wrong, too bad! This is quite the list. There are nine people here, and ten including me. I think it will cost around $1200 to go altogether, but maybe we can get some sort of group rate if there are a bunch of us going. I want to go for about two months. I think it is going to rock. I don't know much more about it, like the when or the where, but we have plenty of time to figure that stuff out.

In other news: my dad agreed to pay for my Gamecube as a Christmas Present. I know you don't read this, but Thanks, Dad! You rock!

I work tomorrow morning. Blah.

Work sucks. How many times can I reiterate this? Is that even how you spell that word?

So, today, right as I was opening my car door to enter and make the long journey home after a workday of 6am-2pm, my manager comes running out and asks me to stay. If it was the real manager (this was the second assistant) I would have said no. But since it was the second assistant, a pretty cool guy who I usually work with and who seems to get shit on by everyone else that works there, I conceded and worked an extra fifteen minutes. "Only 15 minutes?! What's the big deal, Ryan?" you may ask. Well, it just so happens that this is the same place that never seems to do me favors. I have asked to get off half an hour early two times in the past, oh, three months or so. Did I get to go home early? Guess. This is the same place that also seems to let every one of my co-workers off early. Did I tell you the story about how we were overstaffed, so the manager sent everyone home early... except me. One kid got to go home like four hours early. Yeah.

I don't mean to brag here, but I have never missed a day of work. I have called in sick once, and it was hours and hours before I had to go to work, not when I had to be there (like some of my co-workers are known to do). I am never late, always about fifteen minutes early. I'd say that I am a hard worker.

So, how am I rewarded? By being shit on.

I always say I'll quit, and I always complain, but I never do. Right at this moment, I am looking for a good 40-hour-a-week job to work next term. I am not going to work full-time at QuikTrip. No way.

That's my rant for the day. Hope you like it.

Well, this has been a fun day so far. I had my Business final at 10:30 this morning. So, naturally I wake up at 10:20. I figure, if I rush, I can make it and still only be about five minutes late. So, I rush. Then, as I run out the door (Out the Door... haha) and it shuts behind me, I realize I forgot my keys. They keys to my house and my car. So, I'm stuck.

Then, waiting... sleeping in my car... and more waiting.

Around rolls 3:10 pm, and my dad shows up. Hooray. I missed my final and froze my ass off all at one convinent time. Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up.

Last night I saw Ocean's 11 and I liked it. Even though all those caper movies are the same, it's still fun watching them pull it off.

That's it for now. I have to go to work and see if I can get some days off.

Okay, well I added a section (me) and updated some, added some links, and other fun stuff. I redid some of the pictures up there (if you couldn't tell) to make them sharper, and, oh yeah, now I'm done with three out of my five classes! The only ones left are Business, which is tomorrow (an open-book test... easy!) and Contemporary Literature next Tuesday. I have to read maybe 10-15 short stories, poems, and memorize the authors and what they wrote. That one might not be so easy.

That's all I have for you. Enjoy the day, because it snowed!! Hooray, white!

If there is one thing that can cure a headache, it's playing Smash Bros. for about four and a half hours. Nick and I played from 10:30 until about now with a little Monkey Ball break in there somewhere. I didn't realize how much fun it is, and how fast time goes by. I mean, sure, it's a great game, but it's even more fun with two people (and subsequently even moreso with three and four).

Other than that, an uneventful night. Work was alright, it went by pretty fast, so I'm happy. I have a paper to write for my Cultural Anthro. final tomorrow, but it's no big sweat. It's just one page and not even really important. That class has been easy, fun, and actually interesting! More than I can say for a lot of my classes...

It's Josh's birthday today. Happy birthday. We have known each other since seventh grade! Wow, that's a long time. Lets play Smash Bros. sometime, and maybe I'll let you win! Haha. Well, that's about it for now, I should probably try to get some sleep. Later.

I have a killer headache. Ouch.

The picture up there now automatically refreshes every 45 seconds, just to spice things up a bit.

I have added a little bit... the about and links pages are up, and the guestbook, too! So sign away, it'll be just like old times!

Ah, the new webpage. I really was starting to miss my old one. I have had a little on my mind lately, and kind of had nowhere to vent it. I figured I should finally get a domain.

So, what's to come here? I have no clue. I still don't know what sections to add! Maybe a section about me, or some pics or something... *shrug* whatever I feel like. I am trying hard to figure out how to encode .mod files so I can put this cool song up (don't worry, if I did, it would not start playing automatically!) so that you guys can have some groovy music to groove to while reading all the latest in my world.

Oh yeah, I added a cool little image thing up there in the left hand corner. People said the page needed some pictures, so I added those. That's right, 'those', because it is actually one of seven random images! Hooray. Now people will have some reason to come back! Or at least some reason to reload the page a few times.

I work tomorrow. Blah. At least after that Nick is going to come over to play Super Smash Bros. Melee and we will have a good old time. I'm happy that him and his girlfriend Erica are no longer angry at me. It was just a big stupid thing that happened, and I was (of course) partly to blame, but I really missed them as friends.

Well... that's about it. The first *real* update on the page. How was it? Good? It was great for me! More, lots more, to come.

Archives are up. I don't know what else to add...

This is the main page. I don't know what I'll put here... maybe my journal, or just maybe a main section thing. I have done this much so far, so I'm tired and want to quit.
