(18:25:51) Me: Umm, i didn’t sleep worth shit, like I was up all night just tossing and turning and shit. It was horrible. Got up, went to work. Broke the postage machine… Which we found out was just a water problem… Who knew they needed water.
(18:26:18) Andrew: why didnt you sleep?
(18:26:21) Me: Mailed out those 55 cold letters, worked worked worked. I wrote this cute little script that counted when things happened. It was cute.
(18:26:27) Me: I dunnu, I just didn’t sleep.
(18:26:45) Andrew: im sorry babums
(18:26:49) Andrew: if only i was there to sleep with you!
(18:26:50) Me: Left there, went to class. WE had some woman come in and talk about safe sex and the like.
(18:26:56) Me: Then it would have been better!
(18:27:15) Me: The woman wanted a volunteer and some guy came up and she made him put on a condom…
(18:27:18) Andrew: yeah there was a sorority giving out free condoms and le today
(18:27:21) Andrew: *lube
(18:27:22) Andrew: lol
(18:27:26) Andrew: on like a wooden penis
(18:27:28) Andrew: ?
(18:27:29) Me: Not on him, but on a dildo.
(18:27:36) Me: Yeah, I’m typing slow, sorry.
(18:27:54) Andrew: lol a dildo???
(18:27:54) Me: But when he went to do it, he just instinctivly held it down there, and it was really funny.
(18:27:57) Andrew: thats crazyness
(18:27:57) Me: Yeah.
(18:28:00) Me: It was hiliarious.
(18:28:09) Andrew: sounds like it!
(18:28:29) Me: And Julian answered a questions right and he got a safe sex pack. Which we’d both already seen cause they’re the same ones that the GLRC hands out.
(18:28:53) Me: And then the woman asked who had seen a female condom and only me, julian and a few other randoms raised their hands… It was really funny.
(18:29:18) Andrew: lol
(18:29:25) Me: I tell you , we know EVERYTHING!
(18:29:25) Andrew: how could you not know what that is??
(18:29:30) Andrew: you are so smart at sex honey
(18:29:39) Me: Well, people apparently don’t know you should use one for oral sex.
(18:30:00) Me: The one Julian got today was bannana, and I wanted to try it, but he wouldn’t let me. 🙁
(18:30:27) Me: Anyways, it was a laugh riot today in that class.
(18:30:36) Me: I wish you were here taking it, cause it’d be like 100 times more fun!
(18:30:38) Me: 😛
(18:30:49) Andrew: sorry dear!
(18:30:55) Andrew: he wouldnt let you try it? you wanted to lick it?
(18:31:13) Me: Yeah, to see if it tasted like banana… Cause the strawberry one didn’t taste like strawberry.
(18:32:05) Me: Anyways… After that class I went to crazy other class and we just talked about computers the whole time. it was so funny watching non-tech people try and talk about technical things. Like the professor kept pronouncing GUI wrong, and EVERYONE pronounced Linux wrong. It was very frustrating.
(18:32:11) Andrew: did it taste better or worse than actual penis?
(18:32:21) Me: I would say worse.
(18:32:25) Andrew: lol
(18:32:32) Andrew: is it that hard to say linux?
(18:32:47) Me: And it REALLY doesn’t give much pleasure… Like the latex is so thick that you can’t feel the tounge through it.
(18:32:50) Me: Apparently it is.
(18:33:07) Me: OH! I also had another phone interview this morning.
(18:33:30) Me: But it was with someone here in DM. They called me randomly and were like. We saw your resume online and thought you’d be a perfect fit for this job we have.
(18:33:33) Me: And I was like, alright.
(18:33:37) Andrew: have you actually used one before?
(18:33:40) Andrew: was it a good one?
(18:33:41) Me: xYes.
(18:34:27) Andrew: to question 1 or 2?
(18:34:29) Me: So I did the interview and then told them that I wanted to move to Cali, but that if I got a good offer I’d stay, and they were like that’s cool… But we also have offices in Irvine, and such. So they’re going to get back to me. Cause she said that they might have something open out there that’s the same.
(18:34:32) Me: Yes to both.
(18:35:00) Andrew: did she say when theyd get back?
(18:35:04) Andrew: what job was it? how much money?
(18:35:08) Me: No, just that they’d get back.
(18:35:11) Me: She didn’t say how much.
(18:35:21) Me: And it was pretty much the same as what I do at Krell.
(18:35:54) Andrew: so are you gonna call them?
(18:35:57) Andrew: in a bit
(18:36:03) Me: Yeah, if they don’t get back to me I will.
(18:36:16) Me: I looked up the office in Irvine, and I’ll probably just cold send them a resume.
(18:36:46) Andrew: well thats cool
(18:36:54) Me: Yeah.
(18:37:08) Me: And then after MGMT I had my international class.
(18:37:15) Me: And we learned the salsa… it was VERY confusing!
(18:37:39) Me: And they kept making us switch partners, and there’s this one REALLY creepy guy in class, and the girls were just really scared of him.
(18:37:50) Me: And you could just tell that they were WAY unhappy about dancing with him.
(18:37:52) Me: It was funny.
(18:38:22) Andrew: lol
(18:38:27) Andrew: did you have fun dancing?
(18:38:30) Me: And this one girl somehow kept getting stuck with him and one time she just walked up to someone else and said, “You’re out” and made her go dance with creepy.
(18:38:36) Me: Not really. it was VERy confusing.
(18:38:53) Me: I don’t have the motor skills to move my legs and arms to the beat at the same time like they were making us do.
(18:39:04) Me: I just sent you a really funny pic.
(18:39:38) Andrew: oh thats mean
(18:39:39) Andrew: poor guy
(18:39:47) Me: He’s REALLY creepy though.
(18:39:49) Me: You should see him.
(18:39:57) Andrew: but still thats mean
(18:40:01) Me: And he was wearing this REALLY dirty shirt today, and he’s got haid that goes down to his ass.
(18:40:09) Me: I REALLY hope that I don’t get a room with him!
(18:40:17) Me: I’ll be like, screw this. I’m sleeping in the streets!
(18:40:24) Andrew: grossness
(18:40:34) Andrew: is that pic form hotornot?
(18:40:49) Me: And today he was asking REALLY stupid questions about if they’d have problems with how long his hair was.
(18:40:50) Me: Yeah.
(18:41:13) Me: And the profs were like, “No.” And I just wanted to scream… “BUT WE ALL DO” cause he’s got dandruff and it’s just gross.
(18:41:44) Andrew: grossness
(18:41:51) Andrew: he was asking if the mexican people would have problems w/ his hair?
(18:41:56) Me: It is, it’s REALLY gross.
(18:41:58) Me: Yeah.
(18:42:51) Andrew: why would they?
(18:43:02) Me: I have no clue… He’s asked some REALLY stupid questions.
(18:43:32) Andrew: he seems stupid
(18:43:40) Me: I think he is.
(18:44:01) Me: But him and Dr Mary Winter are going to DIE down there. Because they both get on my nerves SOOOO MUCH!
(18:44:09) Me: I have a feeling I’ll be popping advil alot.
(18:44:11) Andrew: whos dr mary winter?
(18:44:17) Me: She’s one of the three profs.
(18:44:52) Me: She practically LIVES in mexico, so she’s always like, “I’m queen of the world, I know EVERYTHING, and I should correct you with the most mean and sarcastic tone I can find”
(18:45:20) Andrew: lol
(18:45:23) Andrew: sounds like my kind of girl
(18:45:24) Andrew: just kidding..
(18:45:34) Me: lol. She’s a whoorid old bitch.
(18:45:47) Me: And she’s REALLy old and walks with a cane, so I have a feeling she’s going to REALLY slow the group down.
(18:46:01) Andrew: im sure itll be fine honey
(18:46:12) Me: I don’t think so.
(18:46:35) Me: But if you get a call saying that I’m in prision for Murder, can you say that I always talked of how much I LOVE those too???
(18:46:36) Me: lol
(18:47:19) Andrew: lol i sure will
(18:47:23) Andrew: anything to save that booty
(18:47:25) Me: lol
(18:47:33) Me: OH!
(18:47:38) Me: That’s the other things I wanted to tell you.
(18:47:42) Andrew: what??
(18:48:28) Me: Today while we were dancing I was joking around with the girls, and being like, “I’m usually drunk when I dance” and stuff like that, and like 2 or 3 of them were like… Well you better learn to dance so when you see a hot girl down there you can be like, “Hey, wanna dance.”
(18:48:36) Me: And I wanted to be like… “More like when I see a hot BOY”
(18:48:38) Me: But I didn’t. 🙁

And here it is..
The update about what happened yesterday. Which was nothing good. It was pretty much a rollercoaster ride…unfortunately it only had a slight uphill track, and a long and steep downhill one.
So yeah we all decided we were gonna drink as a big end of the year thing like yay we did it, our first semester is over! So that’s what it started out as. Now, Chris doesn’t like it when I drink. And I have stopped myself from drinking several times this semester because of him. But this one time I wanted to. And he did not want to concede to me. We started out talking online, and he wanted to ignore it, but I pursued it anyway. That started causing problems. I called him b/c he left me an IM message saying “I see wher emy feelings rank” or something like that.
So I called him and we got into this huge screaming match that lasted for an hour. it was horrible. Neither of us were willing to concede this time. I thought that he was trying to control me, and he thought my wanting to get drunk ranked over my feelings for him (which isn’t true). Anyways, it was just this huge spat and I got really upset b/c he threatened to not let me stay with him over break. He says it wasn’t a threat, but I took it as one. I couldn’t believe my ears when he was saying that. And reading his journal this morning, where he said “if we had fought yesterday morning as we did last night, it would have been the end” I was even more upset. So it was just bad. The screaming, the fighting. A bit more than I could handle. And it sucked b/c we didn’t even get anything resolved.
So after him and I finished fighting, I was uber pissed. So Lisa and I walked around, stopped in some people’s rooms and talked. I just stood around being pissy. No one really asked what was wrong, and that annoyed me too. But whatever.
Eventually we made our way to 211, and Henley Adam gave us a shot. So that was my 1st and it was something disgusting. After that, we went to Rachel’s room and hung out for a bit. Eventually she broke out her alcohol. By this point, I was still uber pissed at Chris, and in mymind had come up with a demented plan to “get back” at him, even though I really had nothing to get back for. And my plan involved drinking A LOT, to show that he doesn’t control me. And obviously my plan hideously backfired on me. Anyways, Rachel, Lisa, and Sarah went to get Sprites, and I asked Rach if I could take a shot of her stuff. She said ok. So while they were gone.. I took 4.
Bad idea.
Eventually they came back, and Ro and Brook came in. I started feeling it, so I just layed ont he floor and talked to Ro and Brook. That was good times, we all just sat around and talked and shit. Then Sarah kept telling me to keep drinking this Sprite that was mostly alcohol, and since I was drunk I did. So that made me even drunker. By then I was pretty gone and had decided I had had enough, I’d proved my point and I was finished.
Natalie came eventually and we just all hung out. Where I broke my promise to myself and took one more shot. It was ironic because right before this all started I was talking to Laura Henson and she was tellin gme about Bacardi Razz or something like that… and then Nat had it. It was jst random. So for that reason (Laura said it was really good) I took a shot of that.
After that it was almost 12, and Lisa and I went to 211 to say hi. Everything was spinning and I knew things weren’t going so well. I don’t remember walking to the room, but I remember being on the floor in the room, and Pralle Adam gave me a hug. Then Lisa and I came upstairs, and I knew I was done for the night, so I told her I was just gonna go to my room.
So She opened the door for me, and I pretty much just fell into my bed. Kyle adn Danny were asking what was happening. I just layed thre for awhile, then felt sick, so I went to the bathroom.
Where I stayed for the next 2 hours, throwing up. It was a very horrible experience, and that’s what I get for doing something just to spite someone. I take it too far and end up having this happening. It was one of those “I can’t even open my eyes b/c the toilet spins around me” type things. H O R R I B L E.
However, Allison, and my roomies were being very very good about it. They took care of me for the most part. Allison would come in and rub my back, and talk to me. I kept apologizing to everyone for doing this and saying how sorry I was. At one point, I just broke down and started bawling while Allison was in there. I talked a lot about Chris and how great he is, and how stupid I am for doing all this to him. I felt so stupid. I went on crying and rambling for awhile. I kept downing tons of water. In like a half hour-45 minute period, I seriously drank 3 bottles of water. And then threw it all up. but it was what I needed.
It was just really bad. At one point, I was on my back on the floor and I couldn’t stop shaking and my teeth couldn’t stop chattering. I was freezing. And I thought I had to go to the bathroom at one point, so I was sitting on the toilet and thought I was gonna throw up, so I took our garbage box and put it on my legs and threw up into it. And the throw up went straight through the box and onto my legs. Which was uber disgusting.
Anyways Allison got me new clothes. Eventually, at like 2:15, I was somehow able to stand up. I waited until I felt stabalized, and then walked to my bed, just fell on it, and went to sleep. And that was the end of my horrible night.
Kyle and Danny were really good too. They helped Allison get me up when I couldn’t myself, and Danny went and bought me waters so that I could keep drinking them. Also, Danny would periodically knock on the door and say something like “How you doing champ?” I thought it was very nice of both of them, though this morning, I apologized profusely and thanked them for helping out and being so understanding. They are really good guys. Neither of them seemed mad or upset or anything so that was good.
Anyways today I’ve done nothing. I packed, got a haircut, and talked to Chris. Things with us are much better, which is good. We may still have some talking to do, but at least we aren’t screaming at each other. I can’t wait till it’s 2 weeks from now and I’m leaving to come see him. I’m so excited. I miss him so much. So yeah.
We are going to the Olive Garden for dinner. Then just lots of hanging out. Pretty much it’s only me, Nat, and Allison left. Kat and Martha are coming back late tonight, Jess and Yosh are probably doing something else, and everone else is gone.
So that’ll be my day and night. Look for updates about the delays my planes will have tomorrow.
And to everyone that was involved in last night, I am so sorry. I’m mostly sorry to Chris. I’m sorry honey for what happened between us. It should not have come to that. I love you.
I Don’t Wanna!!!
I’ve decided that I don’t want to graduate yet! It’s to damn early people, you can’t make me! I swear!
Ever since my graduation year started, I keep getting bombarded with fun sounding things that I REALLY want to do. Today a guy came and talked to our MGMT 370 class about a 20 day trip to Europe.
You get to visit London, Paris, Zurich, Vienne, Salzburg, and Munich…. It sounds SO MUCH FUN! I really want to go, plus it’s worth 3 credits of Marketing! How cool is that… And I REALLY WANT TO GO !!!!! ::whines:: I’ve also decided that I really want go to Italy for a semester abroad. Of course, non of this is going to get to happen. :'( Fuckers waiting tell my last year to let me know about all the cool shit that’s going on!
Anyways, other then that, not much going on around here. I’ve opened a Principal checking/saving account. Which I thought at first would be really cool. That way I can bank online, and free bill pay and tons of other cool things, but then I was talking to my aunt and cousin about it, and apprenty if my other aunt, who works at principal, finds out about my account, she’ll be checking it and seeing what I’m doing. What a whore face bitch. Isn’t there a law against that!
I guess we’ll have to see about it. Plus the online bill pay, and the $50 they gave me to sign up was worth the troubles I think. Wells-Fargo charges you like $6 pr $7 a month for online bill pay. Bastards.
So… Question?
Why are there not ANY pencil sharpeners in classrooms anymore. I get to my test this morning, which by the way sucked, and found out that all my pencils were broken, I had to go through 4, that’s right FOUR! classrooms before just giving up and going to the office to get them sharpened. Bastards.
Well I’m out.
Laters all.
AOL Disks!!
Every year we grow more and more dependent on the Internet. But would you know what to do if your connection suddenly went down?
No one knows when the Internet will fail. It could happen at any time, leaving you bereft of your e-mail, your sports scores, and your Blogs. Therefore, it’s important that you and your family has a contingency plan for just such an emergency. If your connection to Cyberspace were to ever get severed, you should at least be prepared. We have included a few key points that should assist you if that were to happen.
1. Panic!
An excited, agitated state will give you that heightened sense of awareness and will increase your thought processes allowing you to come up with rational solutions. Panic is just nature’s way of putting your body into over-drive. It’s a defense mechanism that gives you an edge when dealing with potentially harmful situations, such as a severed arm or the loss of your Internet.
2. Find A Telephone
Do you have access to a telephone line? Early computers connected to the Internet using a dial-up device along with a hardware device known as a “modem.” Since this technology is obsolete, it will be of no use to you. Instead, use your telephone to call your friends to see if their connection is also down, as you will have lost the ability to send an email or an instant message. You can also use a telephone to call 911, an emergency service that will first tell you to calm down, and then will send out specially-trained technicians to find the source of the Internet’s failure.
3. Use Your Back-Up Computer
It’s always good to have an emergency laptop handy, in case you need to harry over to a buddy’s place where the Net is still up. If there is still no Internet at that location, at the very least you could connect to a small network or LAN (Less-than Adequate Network). Laptops can also be placed on tables at coffeeshops, while you sit around with a latte, nervously waiting for your connection to be restored.
4. Install A Game
In emergency situations, installing a single-player computer game can occupy your down-time. While it won’t replace the adrenaline rush of intense networked multiplayer action provided by the Internet, a quick game of Sim City or Flight Simulator may distract you long enough for your connection to return.
5. Perform Routine Maintenance
While programs such as Norton Antivirus have removed most of the tedium of computer system maintenance, nothing could help pass the time faster than cleaning out your hard drive, emptying your cache, or organizing your celebrity fake porn collection. Take the time to stare at your screen while you perform a defragmentation. The time will literally fly while you barely notice your separation from the Internet.
6. Turn On A Television Or Radio
Televisions, strange boxes that sit in your parents’ living rooms, were once used to provide entertainment, long before DVDs and Playstations were invented. Televisions have the capability of broadcasting streaming information similar to the content on multimedia websites. With a “remote control,” a wireless device that is like a small one-handed keyboard, you may be able to surf a limited number of “channels,” while you deal with the loss of your connection. Unfortunately, television is only a one-way media.
In ancient times, radios were also used to entertain. A radio allowed you to listen to news, sports, and music, much the same way that you listen to live streaming audio on a Shoutcast server. Like the television, a radio will only have a limited selection of listening stations, and no video. Hopefully your separation from the Internet will be brief.
7. Read
People in pre-Internet times used to read “books” and “magazines”, written materials once created in printable format to pass the time. Some e-books are still available on paper, and may offer a short-term solution until your power is back and your broadband is restored. If reading is not an option, as a last resort, you may wish to try doing “chores,” or try your hand at cooking. While these activities cannot replace the Internet, they may be able to make the down-time a little more tolerable.
8. Go Outside
The idea of leaving your workstation may seem a little extreme, but you can perform errands that you normally get parents or spouses to do: grocery shopping, drycleaning, etc. Leaving your dorm room, basement, or above-garage apartment suite, may be risky, but again, the time may afford an effective distraction from your Internet woes. NOTE: Be careful to avoid the sun, because your pasty white skin will not be used to the exposure.
9. Spend Time With Your Spouse
Communicating with your wife or girlfriend may seem like a radical suggestion, but the time investment may offer long-term rewards. Spending any amount of time talking about your “relationship” may free up more Internet time for you later on, when your ADSL or Cable link to the World Wide Web has been restored. WARNING: These will probably be the longest hours of your life.
10. Use Your Emergency AOL Disk
If you find that your connection to the Internet is going to be longer than you can possibly stand, as a last resort, pull out an emergency AOL CD, the one with 910 free hours of connection to the AOL service. Take the CD in one hand…and slash it across your wrist! Suicide will probably be a better alternative than connecting to that service.
Hopefully some of these Internet alternatives will be able to assist you during an offline crisis. Emergency radio broadcasts will likely advise you of the state of the Internet and be able to predict when your bandwidth will be restored, but remember to have an emergency plan in case your digital detachment is longer than you expect
What I Need
Mr. Baker,
As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very
basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superior
shares an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your
consistent and annoying harassment of myself, and my co-workers during
the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of
the few true genetic wastes of our time.
Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of
everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not
only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired
because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide
amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt
to understand the concept of “cut and paste” for the hundredth time.
You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as
binary still gives you too many options. You will also never
understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you,
even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an
IP is.
Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will. You walk
around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others.
You have a sharp-dressed, useless look about you that may have worked
for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you
pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for
your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the
blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like
you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.
Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a
full frontal lobotomy, I am forced to tender my resignation; however I
have a few parting points:
1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal to
give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is “I
prefer not to comment.” I will have friends randomly call you over the
next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be
unable to do it on your own.
2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know
every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to
get cute, I am going to publish your “favorites list”, which I
conveniently saved when you made me “back up” your useless files. I
believe that terms like “Lolita” are not usually viewed favorably by
the administration.
3. When you borrowed the digital camera to “take pictures of your
mothers B-day”, you neglected to mention that you were going to take
pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them
like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never
seen such odd acts with a ketchup bottle, but I assure you that those
have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a
glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please – I
hate having to correct your damn mistakes.)
Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on
my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow, not ONE minute later. One word of this to
anybody and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be
open to the public. Never f*ck with your systems administrators, because
they know what you do with all your free time.

I sure felt like writing something along these lines today. Grrr At my life.
