Sympathy or Respect?

Well it appears that the hosting company that I use is having problems today, it’s been off and on for the website, and when the site it up, the database is down. Whatever. So this update was writing on Friday, at 8:37pm.

Today has been pretty good, well I guess. I was awaken at 4:30 this morning by VERY heavy rain, and hail. I didn’t think to much of it, but I couldn’t get back to sleep after that, so I’ve been up for some long time. I’m getting a little tired now.

So I left my apartment about 9:30 and rode to campus, this week has been ABSOLUTELY wonderfull for bike riding! Went to the library cause I didn’t feel like sitting out in the heat today. Studied for what we had to do today, and then read some more ?The Awakening? good book, I only have 40 pages left, so I should be done by the time that Andrew gets back on Sunday.

Class at noon, like normal! Good times, there.

We had a quiz today and one of the questions was:

?When we feel bad for someone because they are being humiliated or degraded, we are responding with what? Symapthy or Respect??

Leave comments as to which one you think it is.

Speaking of class though, we are now half way done with it. 2 weeks down and 2 more weeks left to go. I think that all classes should be this short. I really like it. Maybe I’m just crazy, but I think it’s easier to learn and to remember what you’re learning when you only have the one class to worry about. And plus I think you study more for these short classes. At least I know that I do!

Hopefully next 4 weeks will go as well as this 4 week class. I know one of the boys that’s going to be in the next class with me, so that’s a plus, and he’s cute! Lol.

Again talking of class, I was reading one of the essays that we had to read and they kept referring to everything as ?queer? and the ?queerness? of it. It was very odd, and I really didn’t understand it at all. It was supposed to be about god and morals. And weather people can be moral without god. However, the only place where god/religion was mentioned was in the first couple paragraphs of a very long paper!

Class back to my apartment where I noticed that there was HAIL DAMAGE to my car. I was NOT happy about that. So I drove to work and then tried calling my mom, since she’s the resident insurance expert. She said I should call the claim line and ask if I should bother claiming it untell I have a quote. I think it’ll probably be less the the $500 deductable that I have on my insurance, so no need to claim it and raise insurance rates if they won’t even pay for it.

Also got my mom to look up ticket costs for my excursion, she got it down to $300 a ticket. So that’s acceptable I think. So now I just hope that things work out, and people don’t think that I’m crazy!

So after all that crazyness, I went to work… Well actually I didn’t do much actuall work at work. I got the thing working that I complained about yesterday. It turned out that I was trying to access a row that wasn’t in the query, so I got that fixed and it’s all nice now. So coding is oficially done, unless I think of some other COOL thing to put into it all. Then I started on the visual stuff. It’s coming along nicely, and I have a nice new graphic for the upper thing. I’m taking my insperation from InidiBoi.com I really like his site, and I borrowed his CSS for a lot of what I’m doing. So far the basic layout is done, I just have to fill in the boxes.

On the topic of technology, I was reading an article yesterday and I came across something that gave a run down of M$’s cash reserves. Apparently 1 of every 6 dollars of M$’s pre-tax profits comes from interest payments on their cash reserves… How CRAZY is that! They have over 40 BILLION dollars in cash on hand! I wish I could have 1% of that!

Speaking of articles I also read in the paper the other day that BRAVO is starting a new tv show that’s bassically a gay dating show! Basically you have one gay guy and a group of prospectable boyfriends… The only twist is that some of the guys are STR8! How evil is that!

Anyways, the trip to IC was canceled which is sad because I was really looking forward to going to there with Dustin. He called me tonight at work, and told me. I was sad. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll fiind other things to do. Tonight, I’m just sitting at home studying. Tomorrow I know that I have to meet up with Beak about noon to work on the family cookbook (you can read her rant about that at her website). After that perhaps to a body shop to get an estamite on my car. I’m really mad about that shit! Grrr.

Sunday is going to be very long, as I can’t wait tell Andrew gets back. I miss him throughtly!

Laters.

Ahoalton

So apparently Discover card doesn’t realize that I have one of thier cards, and secondly apparently Capital One doesn’t realize that I’m NOT a business. Wackos.

Today I got up early and went to the docs. That was amusing. It was the same lady that I had last time I went in, she’s nice and I like her. I also had some crazy mexican nurse. She was also very amusing. She gave me a prescription for Effexor. And a sample for 7 days, must go back in a week. Sex drive will decline, but not like that matters, I ain’t gettin’ any!

After that was over, I rode back to my appartment and grabbed a bite to eat then off to campus where I sat around from 9-11 reading and tanning. My face is burnt now, but my arms aren’t too bad. My legs however are in pain from all the biking that I did today!

So I’m currently watching “Amazing Race 4” and it’s such a stupid show, so far there have been NO real things that are going on. So annoying. But there is a REALLY cute gay couple and they classify themselves as being “Married” so cute! There’s also these two stupid annoying black girls, and the rest of the people are also annoying.

But speaking of flying, I’ve come up with a crazy scheme, it’ll cost $375 for tickets, but I think it would be fun! Now just to find someone to invite me somewhere. (And no this isn’t just randomness, you know who you are, and you know mostly where I want to go!)

Oh, I also went and purchased my books for my second class that I have. Came out to $111. HELLO? That’s for ONE class! Insanity, I tell you, insanity. (And both are used books). My mother better fucking reimburse me for those!

Andrew comes back Sunday, and I’m really excited about him being back. I think Sunday is going to go by UBER slow since he doesn’t get back tell 4:16. And hopefully his mom will let him spend the night Sunday, if not I’ll push for Tuesday.

Oh, there’s also this couple on Amazing Race that have been DATING for 12 years, and have not had sex yet. I think that’s just a bit crazy, there’s a point where not having sex untell marriage, and the amount of time spent dating are just not right. And what I think is really funny is that everytime they show the couple it says (Dating 12 Years — Virgins). Sorry, I know this probably doesn’t make since, but whatever.

Anyways,,,

I was sitting in class today and thought of this movie that I saw once, but the only thing I can remember is that there were these crazy bullets, and you programmed them with a persons name, and then shot it in the general direction of the person. The bullet then sought the person out and followed them, once the bullet caught up with the person, it didn’t just end the body and stop, it entered the persons body and then exploded…. The point is… Does anyone know what the name of this movie is?

Ok, so where was I, studying, that’s right. After that class, where we didn’t have a quiz today, so that was good. Though he did hand out a TON of info for the paper. Grr. I think I’ll do the Abortion paper. That seems the most interesting. I’ll have to read the papers though that he gave us about them, and see if I like those. (You have to base your arguments on the two papers that he gives you (One in support one in opposition of the topic)).

From class to work, where I did more on my website. Added 4 more functions and got the b2people working. Luckily I had the code sitting on my computer here at home. Also set up CVS and checked all the code into that. Supposedly the new version of b2 (Now renamed and I can’t remmeber what it’s called) will be out soon. I’ll have to see what updates they’ve put in to see if I want to upgrade to that. None-the-less, the new code I’ve been working on will hopefully go up next week now. I wanted to get it there sooner, but it doesn’t look like that’ll happen. Too much other work to do!

After work to home, and that’s where I’m at now. And probably where I’ll stay for the rest of the night. Reading and doing other productive things I’m sure!

“To Love One Another”

The A/C

So yet another productive day. It stated out rough, but that seems to have been cleared up. I was very offended that he could have thought that I was the one behind that. Whatever.

After that fiasco, I went out and rode my bike for about an hour, and then went and laid around on campus and read Kevin. I finished him, and then started on the other book that Andrew got me. It’s alright so far. I’m only about 70 pages in though. I laid around on campus from about 9:30 tell 11:30, then rode off to class.

More amusing class time, we spent the first hour talking about the Social Contract and then we spent the second out doing a quiz over it. I haven’t been doing too well on quizes this week, so tonight I’m going to study, and read over the info for the paper.

Speaking of, we got the information for the paper today, the first part of it is due on Monday, so I really have to get going on that. He said it should be from about 5-10 pages. I don’t know if I can really do that?!?!

After class off to work again, more amusement. I really didn’t do much, although I did do a lot. I bought a $3,000 computer today. Good times, that’s always fun. Also did some more work on my website, but I’m stuck because I can’t find the hack for the b2people functions.

After work I was going to go for a walk, but after last night, and all the biking I did today, my legs vetoed that idea. So I guess I’ll put that off. I’ll be doing a lot of biking tomorrow, I’ll have to go to campus twice, and then to walgreens, who the hell knows where that’s at in Ames??? Perhaps a tanning appointment too. I dunno yet though.

I also broke down and turned on the A/C today. I was hoping to not do it for a while, but it was 90 in here when I got home, and after riding my bike into the wind (Which FYI, was VERY strong today) I was really hot and I just had to turn it on. It’s very nice in here now. I can live with this. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford the power bill! lol

I’ve also devised a new scheme for next year. I’ll graduate on time, and then if I can’t get a job right away in the area of the country that I want to go to, I’ll stay here, work for Krell until my lease is up (Aug 1) and then move to whereever I want to go. I should have about $2-3 grand saved by then (Hopefully more). And then I can worry about finding a job whereever I end up.

You know what’s fun to say…
“Ohhh, THERE’S A PASS!” ::pointing at a hot boy::
“But you know who’s even hotter?!?!”
“MY BF!!!”

Hehe, I’m amused!

So I’m watching this screw up thing, and Hillary Clinton just said “I’m having a great time being a first term pres…. Senator”

Back to what I was talking about, I think so far, today has been the worst. Since usually it’s just an Andrew and I day, and I haven’t been able to see him. :'( I can’t wait tell Sunday when he gets back. I’m thinking I may go and surprise him at the Airport. But I haven’t decided yet if I want to. I’d feel as though I was barging in on the trip at that point yet, and interupting the last part of it all. But I’ll see how things go.

Oh, so randomness. Yesterday while riding my bike home from work, I was crossing the bridge and at the end there’s these posts, while last night there were like 5 or 6 hotdogs wrapped up in like the silver wrapping that you get from a c-store. I didn’t think anything of it and just kept riding. Well this morning, I rode by again on my way to work (I had to drop something off, so I was there about 9ish) and I noticed that they were still there, but I left them and kept going. Today on my way home from work (about 7ish), I noticed that the hotdogs were gone and had been replaced by a blimpie and a pop. I was like, (WHAT THE HELL!!)
