So it starts

Last night leaving was kinda hard… It’s starting already, the weekends together, and the weeks apart. It’s depressing. But we made it though last year, so we’ll make it through this year as well. It was hard though to leave last night.

Today, I haven’t really done much. I went to class and then went to work. It was very amusing actually. We had our weekly tech meeting…. Like I said yesterday Vermont got totally fucked up… So Nazanin wants to recreate what happened that night. Her suggestion: “Why don’t we just pull the power and then plug it back in and pull the power” all done repeatedly. Chris and I were like “HELL NO!” You know how bad that is on the power supply and the RAID and everything else in the damn computer… That got quite the argument going about things. So yeah, it was amusing as hell.

We also got the gigabit cards in for the servers… everything’s going to have dual gigabit here soon. Once we get drivers for Linux……

Tonight I came home and I watched that damn Real World Movie… That was the BIGGEST waste of two hours that I have ever seen!! GARR!

Alright, I’m out to watch the news or soemthing… I love high speed internet!

First Night… It’s starting agin

So today has been very eventfull. I went to class… Ok that part wasn’t eventfull. Then I went to work… apparently we had power outages from 2:30 this morning to about 7:50 this morning. Which had drained the batteries on Vermont….. which therefore caused problems when power would be restored and then we would have an outage again within 3 minutes… because during those three VERY critical minutes it verifies the RAID and if you cancel that out, it fucks things up ROYALY! So yeah, Vermont wouldn’t come up right.. and then when we did get it to come up.. the date was off, which took us a while to realize, so everyone’s mail was dated, 11/24/65 it was odd. lol

After we got all that fixed the rest of the day at work was very uneventfull. But then I went back to Ankeny for the GLRC. Melinda (Adam’s mom) really liked my hair, I’m glad. Cause out of everyone, she would have been the one to hate it… Barb also liked it. lol. Then we went off to group, which was fun and very eventfull like always. I have a feeling that nothing’s going to get accomplished for this float… I wish I could see it on Wed, but I just can’t.

After that we all went to Java Joe’s. Mike showed up there and Dustin was there as well. They talked and it’s good to see them talking more and working out the problems between them. I don’t like to have friend fighting, etc cause it’s always to hard to plan things… You’re like “well if we invite this person, then we can’t invite so and so cause they hate each other.” GRRR! I hate that.

So yeah, we left there about 10 and I came back here.. It’s good times. I’m off to bed though cause I’m dead tired. Night!

The new digs

So… Last night I was getting ready to take a shower, so that Adam and I could hang out here for my first night… I got the water to the temp that I wanted and turned the knob to go to the shower head. No water… So I turn it back and forth again and I got a little water… but not ANY WHERE near enough to take a shower… So I said “Fuck this” and was going to take a bath… turn the knob to plug the drains, and it fell off the wall..

So after much confusion we left to my house to swim. After swimming we spent the night at my house… Which I really didn’t want to do, since I now have my own damn apartment to sleep at. But we stayed there and hung out.

Today we got up and showered and shit… Then we went and got hair bleaching stuff… I required 5 opinions before I actually bleached it though, cause I didn’t know if it would be good or not. So we asked people… two of which we’re random people.

They all said it’d be cool. So we went off to do it. I was scared that it wouldn’t be good.

After it was done I freaked cause it’s totaly not what I’m used to… But everyone said it was good… Then we wend and got it cut.

The hair cutter guy was an ass.

After that I came back to Ames. I’ve been doing homework all night… It’s boring and I want someone else here…. You know though, even though I now have my own place, and shit… I’ve realized that I still close the door when I change and go to the bathroom. It’s wierd. lol.

So now I’m done with HW and I’m getting ready for bed. It’s lightening and thundering out and I’m scared…. Adam won’t come up and comfort me… ::sobs:: I want someone to spend my first night with me here. ::crys::

I’m going to go now before something bad happens to my computer…

Night all!!

PS go read ADAM’S new journal!

All Grow’d Up.

So I’m all grow’d up now…

Last night Adam, James and I all went swimming after everyone went to the club. Adam left about 1:30 and James was getting ready to leave when he fell sick. So he spent the night.

My parents got us up about 8 this morning… James left and I started packing shit into the truck and my car… We were all packed and had everything moved up here and unpacked by 11:00. It was insance packing….. Perhaps we have MAD PACKING SKILLS! lol

They left shortly after everything was unpacked and I started aranging. Adam came up about 2 and he hung out and helped do things. My mom fianlly showed up again about 2:30 and we all left to shop!!!

Yay for parents and shopping. We went to Target and got a SHIT load of stuff that I needed yet. Then we went to Sams Club… I’d never been there before, so that was quite the adventure. lol. We got lots of overly large things. Good times…. I now have some food to last me a while…. Only $600 later.

So now Adam’s here and we’re eating supper… I don’t have a pizza cutter. Damnit. After that we’re going back to his house and calling James to watch some movies or something. La!

So…

So what’s been going on in Chris’ life lately, I hear you asking….

Well to tell you the truth, not much.

Yesterday I spent the day in the server room on the phone with Dell and working on COBOL. Gwar

Julian picked my up about 1:30 and we went an purchased book. Much shit when down there… When I got back to work I call the manager and complained about it all. Gwar.

After work I met Adam at my house and he watched me pack whilst waiting for James to get there. Once James FINALLY got there we went swimming… See, I told you not much has been going on.

Today I woke up about 1:00 this morning with a stuffed up nose and I couldn’t breathe, so I laid in bed tell I finally fell asleep again at about 3ish. Then I woke up again at 6:30 and stayed up tell I had to leave for school.

I take possesion of my apartment today, so that’s exciting, Adam should be here sometime soon hopefully as well to hang out with me at work.

This morning in my class the prof bitched about how the evals she just got back were stupid and then she went on to teach… She kept trying to say synonym but kept saying cinnamon. It was funny.

Sorry for the lame ass post. Laters
