Cars Hate Me

Ok, well here it is, 7 pm on a Sunday night. Adam’s just dropped me off. I left his house earlier then I wanted, mostly because I wasn’t feeling very comfortable. But I was also tired and so was he and I didn’t want him to have to drive me back to much later then it was. I already miss him. I didn’t want to leave so early. But yeah, we’ve had a good day. He came over here about 1ish and we hung out here for a while and just talked and watched TV, it was good times. Then about 3:30 or so, Angel called and wanted me and Adam to go with them to get thier pictures taken cause they wanted opinions on what pictures were good and such. So we did that and after that we went back to Layaway and talked to Julian for a while. It was good. Angel and Matt are leaving tomorrow. It’s sad to see them go cause we haven’t really got a chance to talk to them much this break. I can’t wait tell summer comes again.

So more about the car situation, Adam and I were in my car and Mandy, Tara, Jessica were all in Mandy’s car. We were going to Baker’s Square on MH Road from downtown, so we were on University. I was behind Mandy, and I was more then a safe distance away, and I was also going the speed limit, I know that cause I had my cruise set right on 30 mhp. But yeah, so we were coming up on an intersection and it’s one of those funky one’s where you have to stop like way back from the actual intersection. So yeah, the light had just turned yellow and I was getting ready to put my foot on the break. Mandy was way ahead of me and in my opinion she should have ust gone through the light… But she was going to stop, however, she didn’t realize where she was supposed to stop at, and when she did, she slammed on her breaks, inturn I slammed on my breaks, they locked up. We slid on the wet roads right into the back of Mandy’s car. The air bags went off in my car and the horn was going off, it was just bad. I wanted to just die there. I got out of my car and went running to Mandy’s to see if everyone was alright. Luckly everyone was. But now neither Mandy or I have a car to drive, and it’s going to cost me my entire savings. Which, I am thankful that I have that savings, but it’s still hard. I mean, the worst thing is that it happened at all. I was doing everything right, I was following at a safe distance, I was driving the speed limit. Why the hell do things happen to me. The other thing is that now Mandy doesn’t have a car and I feel really bad for that. And another thing is that, well IT’S MY NEW FUCKING CAR. Why? Damnit, Why? That’s all I want to know.

But the world works in wierd ways and I’ll never know why, I’ll never know why Mandy didn’t just go through the light, I’ll never know why I couldn’t stop in time, I’ll never know…

But things in my lief are going good, better then I could hope for. I’m glad that we said “Fuck ’em all” and did what we felt was right in our hearts. And I’m so glad to have him there, by my side when ever things go wrong, he’s always there to comfort me and I’ll always be there to comfort him. EVen though we can’t always dance when we want to, or we can’t hold hands in public. Even though we can’t do those little things, like we’d like to. We know that we love each other. And that’s what matters.

Tonight I came home and asked my dad about the car situation tomorrow. He said, “Well do you want to walk, ride with your mom.” I said, “Is she going to Ames.” Then he said, “Well you can have the Cougar until we figure something else out.” And as he said it he kept rasing his voice and I said, “You don’t have to yell at me.” Then he said, “You haven’t seen yelling yet.” And then I turned and walked away cause I knew where that was going, and I didn’t want to go there, and he said, “If you’re going to be like that, you won’t be driving anything.”

Why’s he have to be such a fucking asshole all the time. Fucker. I hate him.

Ok, I shall post things now.

Dance, Dance, Dance

Well, I just got back from the GLRC dance. It was a ton of fun and there were alot of people there. Well not like tons, but enough to make it fun. Yeah good times there. However, there was this one really creapy guy, he like dumped his “date” (a guy he had never met before today) and was like hitting on everyone and trying to get everone to hook him up with someone else. It was nasty. But yeah. Really good times.

Today at work it took me four hours to draw two yellow arrows on this picture. I’m not going to tell the whole story cause well I tried telling it to someone earlier today and kept getting cut off and was never allowed to finish it, so I won’t bore you all with the story. But yeah, four fucking hours when I could have had it done in like 2 minutes. Oh well.

Other then that, it’s been a long fucking day, and now I’m going to go and try and get rsync working. Yet again. Fucking software.

Nov 2, [Bush, "Altered States"]

Ok, so I bet everyone’s going. OMG it’s during the week and Chris hasn’t

updated in like 3 days. He must be sick or something. Well, good news is

that no, I’m not sick. But I have been REALLY REALLY busy lately. These

last three days just seem as though they’ve FLOWN past. And the thing is

that I don’t even remember what I’ve been doing mostly lately. I know Wed

I had a ton of meetings to go to during the day, but after about 6 I don’t

remember what I did. Heh, oh well. I’m sure I did something that kept me

from updating. Then yesterday I was in a mood to fix problems that I had

been putting of for every. So first thing I did was at work I got a few

machines up and running and purchased some things to get some others fixed.

Then I spent like an hour and half working on my DEC station, and I got

that up and running. Once I get the ports to it open I’ll give out some

e-mail accounts if anyone wants them. Wouldn’t it be sweet to have your_name@staturn.krellinst.org?

I think it is. lol. So then I came home, and I started working on some other

things, like firewalls, FTP and a few other really cool things, one of which

is the webcam that has now been added to my page. It uploads a picture every

30 seconds, so it’s cool. About 10 or so Sri came in and was like, so how

do you know if someone is connected to your compter, so I told him. He went

and did what I told him to and found out that someone had hacked into his

computer. So I got some information about the person, his IP and a few other

things, and did some reasearch on who it was for Sri. All I did was some

basic things, but he was really impressed. About 11 or so I finally realized

that it was 11, so I went to bed.

Today’s been really sucky so far. I went to my English class, and our assingment

for today was to block this essay, well I did it. So she was discussing

it in class and told us that she had blocked 1, 2-5, 6-11. And then she

asked me how I did it, well I blocked, 1-2, 3-5, 6, 7-11 together. And I

told her that, and she was like, "Why’d you put 6 by itself."

And it was one of those things where now that she had pointed it out, it

made more sense to put 6-11 together, and I really couldn’t remember why

I had put it like that, so I was looking through my notes to see why I had

done it that way. While I was looking through my notes she goes, (Is a really

snoty voice) "Well Chris apperantly didn’t do his homework." And

went on and asked the next person. Well he admitted that he didn’t do his

work and she goes "Well Chris and John didn’t do thier homework."

And I was like you bitch, that is not appropriate behavior for a teacher.

So after class I went up to her and handed her all my notes about the essay

(3 pages worth), handed her my book, opened to the essay, where I had written

a ton more notes in the text, and said, "That was relaly rude of you

to say, since you can see that I _HAVE_ done my homework." And thne

she went into this whole thing about and I just blocked her out cause she

was only pissing me off even more. And I told her again, (well a couple

times) that it was still a rude thing for her to do. Then she started trying

to appologize, and I was like, that’s not the thing, the thing is that you

need to see that that wasn’t appropriate behavior for a teacher. So I picked

up my stuff, and walked out the door. As I was walking out, she said "Well

Monday I’ll appologize for my behavior." Bitch

And then I just got back from my Soc class and of course the roomie is

in here playing this god damn video game, it’s one of those where you go

around and kill people. It annoys the hell out of me cause all the sound

that there is to it is just a bunch of gun fire and such. Gwar. And he was

sitting in the room with the door closed and the fan on again, and it’s

like, you know, if you just opened the fucking door, the wind would create

a natural breeze, and you wouldn’t have to have that loud fucking fan on.

GRRRR at everything. I don’t understand why he insists on having the door

shut.

Oct 29, [Enigma, "Push The Limits"]

Ok, well finally we’ll get around to an update about the weekend eh?

First off, on Friday I went over and pick up Adam, we headed off to Lenox

and Corning. We went to Corning first and picked up David. Who by the way,

si really fucking hot. hehe. But then we went back to Creston, had supper

at The Windrow, and just hung out. It’s really fucking boring there, so

we spent most of our time just wondering around, but what ever. It was fun

times with two really hot guys. At one point David suggested we go rent

a hotel room for three hours. I was all over that one, but we never did.

🙁 lol. About 11 or so we took him home and Adam and I went back to my G&G’s

house. And went to bed. I really like sleeping with him. You have no idea

how great it is to have someone’s body next to you in bed until you’ve done

it. You can’t really explain it, but whenever I sleep with him, I get like

the best nights sleep ever. It’s so great.

Then Saturday we got up about 11 and went downstairs and talked to my Grandparents

for a while, they seemed to really like him. (hehe, now Shiela’s the only

person that hasn’t met him that wants too) lol. But yeah, good times there.

Then after a while we went out and walked around town for a while. I showed

him around town and we hung had a good time. We also had an amusing sheep

encounter, but I don’t really want to get into that right now. Oh well.

After that we went back to my G&G’s house and we had lunch. It was really

good, and of course Adam complained that she stuffed us too full, which

she did cause that’s the way she is. It was good though. After that we went

out to the lake and talked and took some more pictures. Fun times there.

Then we went back to my G&G’s house, talked to them for a bit more,

and then left. We were back to Des Moines by like 7:30 or so, so we went

downtown for a while, there really wasn’t much going on, so we went back

to Adam’s house and just talked. (We talk alot don’t we, I’ve got no idea

what we spend all of our time talking about, but we always seem to find

something to talk about, it’s wierd). I left there about 1Am and went home

to bed. I didn’t sleep as well that night, cause I didn’t have anyone to

cuddle with.

Sunday I was awaken by Andy playing overly loud music in the bathroom.

Grrr. Oh well. I was going to get up anyhow about that time, but now that

he was in the bathroom I had to wiat, so well I was waiting Adam called.

I forget how we got to it, but he wanted me to install Win2k Pro on his

computer. So I went over there and proceeded to spend the next 7 hours installing

that and getting everything to work right. It was fun though. Today I guess

they’re having a few problems, which I’ve sorted out. Adam and Melinda really

like it, but Rob, being the control freak that he is, doesn’t like that

he can’t play with other people’s things, or something like that. I dunno.

I’m working on solutions, that’s what I get paid the big bucks for!

This mornig I was really confused, I woke up at 7, looked outside, and

it the sun was shining bright, I was like, WTF? Did I miss my alarm, so

I got up, looked at the clock and it said that it was 7, so I looked at

my watch, it said it was 7 too. I was like, hmmm. What’s going on here.

Then I remembered it was that whole Daylight Savings time. So I went back

to bed. But I just couldn’t get it out of my head how bright it was, so

I checked the clock and my watch a few more times, determined that it was

indeed only 7, and went back to bed for another half an hour. Well I got

up at 7:30, like I normally do, went to take my shower and was surpirsed

when I found a LINE for the fucking shower. Now normally, there’ is never

anyone in the showers at 7:30, so I’m guessing some people must have forgotten

about the whole Day light things. hehe, sucks to be them. So I waited in

line, got in and turned on the shower, only to find out there was no fucking

HOT water. GRRRR. So I had to take a cold shower this morning, that sucked.

I’m going to go take another shower here soon sometime.

I installed Opera on my computer today and played around with Graymatter,

which I really like. Now it’s just a matter of finding someone to host it.

Grrr. I also found my Zippo, my thumb ring, my rainbow earring, which I’m

going to have put in this weekend maybe, and I found something else, but

I can’t remebmer what it was now. Oh well. I’m out….

HAPPY B-DAY ADAM!!!!

Hehe. So I’m going to do an update this morning cause I won’t have any

time this afternoon to get it done. Adam got a ticket last night, that’s

so funny. I’m going to take it in this morning for him, since he was indeed

a visitor and he was parked in the visitors lot, I would think that they

would waive it. lol. Then this afternoon I’ve got a damn lunch with everyone

from Krell. Grrr. I really don’t want to go to that cause I’ll have to spend

my money on it. Gwar. Then after that if I can’t get a good parking spot

on Campus, I’m just going to skip math and go home, but if I can find a

good spot on campus, I’ll stay and go to class and such. Yep.

RENT Kicked ass. I just wish that Adam and I could have sat next to each

other.

Adam’s mom got me a cool necklace while she was in AZ, I’m so happy. It’s

cool. I like Adam’s mom. Adam also got me a fucking cool picture of me,

I’m going to post it once I get a scanner. Maybe I’ll make Adam scan it

this weekend.

Ok, off to class now, laters all…..
