edlib Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Let's see... 7 years ago this month I had recently finished college; had just finished up a bunch of temp, part-time and freelance work; had just taken a whole month off (between late December and late January, it was the first real time off I had had since before I began college in '93); and was getting ready to join, or had already joined the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Bus Tour that turned out to be so surreal that it ended up being one of the defining moments of my life so far, and the number-one source of war stories for me. (Plus a lot of really weird music...) And I'd take you up on that pizza, Nute, if I really thought there was any real way we could all arrange to be in the same place at the same time.

Keyan Farlander Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hm. I went to college at the normal time, got myself a nice 9-to-5 job, doing well, have my health, and yet...I am still one giant, swirling vortex of lame from which nothing can escape. I think I'll have to work on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've got a crap job, no post-secondary education of any real value, and a liver that probably hates me, but my life's a blast... It's a matter of tradeoff. I'm choosing this life while I'm young enough to really enjoy it, and I'll smarten the hell up once I'm getting to the stage where I start thinking, "Hey, kids could be fun..."

Nute Gunray Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I sure could use one of those girl things everyone's talking about. I need a neck rub and who's better for that than a girl, no one thats who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Ike: We talked about that happening, and I'm fairly sure it won't. Yes, I know, it ould be very very messy, but I honestly don't think it will happen. And the grades..... don't ask.... just... no.... 7 years ago? hmm...... I was what, 14 when I signed up on Rs.net? Wow, High School.... so... long ago..... Well, still slacking, 7 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander 598 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I spent the day putting up a fence, because someone was trying to screw us out of land. Cops were called, we were told to move the fence about two feet to the right, "I" had to uproot the posts which were now glued in mud and set them all up again. I got a day off from school anyway...

Rogue15 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 i watched The Return of the King extended edition last night. very good....filled in alot of gaps i guess. The Mouth of Sauron was a bit freaky, big teeth....scary. My cough is almost gone. My chest hurts a little when i take deep breaths, and i can't laugh without coughing. I need another haircut, I'll prolly just shave it again or just shave the sides off, i dunno it gets very oily and irritating when i let it get past an inch, so i'll prolly just go with shaving it, it's not like i'm breaking anybody's heart. Might go to the range tomorrow to help one of my friends sight in his new rifle, depends how the roads are and if i can locate my dad's sight vise. I'm finishing a book I'm borrowing 'Chronicles of the King' part 1, it's pretty good. got a few chapters to go. Think i'll finish it tonight....also thinking of buying a phone off the guy i'm borrowing the book from....it's one of those phones u just buy the cards for a Tracphone i think? i don't want a phone w/a stupid plan cause i live in the mountains with NO reception when i want to talk....it's different when i need to talk, then there could possibly be reception...anyway.. 2006 has been pretty nice so far. just awaiting all the rest of the W2 forms to see how much i get ripped off for moving in the middle of the year.

edlib Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 It's 2:30 in the morning. Two-damn-freakin'-thirty. Effing a.m. What the hell? I've managed to grab maybe 8 hours of good, solid sleep in the last 96 or so. Seem like I might have a bout of insomnia on my hands. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep Saturday night into Sunday. Then maybe an hour from Sun. into Mon. 2, maybe 3 hours from Mon. into Tues. Then last night (well, I guess technically it's still tonight...) I went to bed at about 10, got to sleep around 10:30 or so... and then my cat woke me up at 12:30 and wouldn't leave me alone. I haven't been able to get back to sleep since, and I'm guessing that I've got all the sleep that I'm going to get tonight. Top it all off I'm getting sick... although I don't know if I'm getting ill because of lack of sleep, or the insomnia is caused by the fact that I'm getting sick. I have a meeting tomorrow, early. I don't think I'll be able to get out of it... but I should have plenty of time to get ready for work now. Maybe I can leave work and get home early tomorrow... although it's amazing how unsympathetic people are when you tell them you are just really tired and have been fighting insomnia. If I had the flu, people would be all all over that, telling me to get home and get some rest, with boatloads of suggestions on what I should be taking and eating and drinking. Tell them you are just really, really tired, and haven't been able to sleep lately... and there's nothing but a blank stare. Or they tell you how tired they are... It's really not the same.

Nute Gunray Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 If only you could use your power for the forces of good... I'm trying to find a way. Possibly good. I think. Depends on how you define good, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikhnaton Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Cracken, I would either get a recording of a conversation between you two, with a witness, or i would get something in writing. all it takes is for her to get upset with you about something and she could drop the bomb. It's sad that you have to do this stuff these days, but you really need to cover your ass. i have a whole year and a half left for my bachelor's degree, making a total of 5 years spent in full time schooling toward said degree. After that, there is 4 years of dental school plus 2 more for orthodontics. I should never be working in a cube again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 You have a point Ike, but how to bring that up, with OUT making her upset. I've been trying to find a good time to, but i never can. :/ Good job Ike! get that dental degree. Enjoy not working in a cubical. I'm gunning for a Senate seat eventually..

edlib Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 I finally got some sleep. Yay. Not as much as I think I need at this point, but it'll have to do for now. I think I'm working late the next couple of nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 speaking of dental stuff, my lower right molar has a hole in it, just chipped kinda and it hurts when i get food in it. i've not seen a dentist in like 7 years. but for the most part, my teeth are healthy.

Rogue15 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 kinda wish i would've gone back when i had dental insurance at pizza hut...too late for that now. and walmart insurance is too expensive...esp with hours getting cut back. =\ tylenol works wonders. This morning I picked up my check at walmart..my raise was in it so kinda happy about that, but alot of it goes to bills. After i left walmart i went to honesdale to go get my hair cut at sassy's clippers and was able to get in right away as usual which is very cool, as these other places that charge a fortune for something that doesn't take but 2 minutes to do and i have to wait at those like for an hour so i like sassy's....so i got my head shaved off like usual. From there i went to the bank and deposited 1/4 of my pay...so i can pay the cable bill and the rest that wasn't deposited goes to rent and cingular. Then i went to the post office and picked up the mail. Got my W2 from Pizza Hut, just waiting for another W2 from Spherion and i think one from Walmart. Not so sure how that's going to work, as i lived in Lititz when i worked at Spherion...hopefully i don't owe much to where i lived before....if so that is going to suck. Then i came home and made some eggs for breakfast and took some Xenadrine, then i waited for the food to settle, then i got back into my taebo workout routine...since i can't go outside and burn fat that way i just load up Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo advanced One-Hour workout VHS tape and go to town. I'm actually considering getting the 'Billy's Boot Camp' set for some more variety. After the tae-bo i go straight to the dumbells and that's done some good for my triceps. anyway by summer i should be pretty strong. I gotta find the sight for pics that i had so i can load pics of my bruised car... the part that got the wind knocked out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 If you've a broken tooth that's a molar, go get it pulled before it rots (and it is) down to the nerve because then your entire side of your head will explode into pain and you'll lose the vision in your eye for the duration of the pain because it messes with your optic nerve or something. I was reflecting on some things while doing the dishes and I have to say that the oddest, most uncomfortable thing in my life was the time I went to Hooters and the waitress was a girl I knew in high school.

Nitro Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 This is Chapter 9 of Will & Ian Ferguson's How to be a Canadian... Only people in Newfoundland have sex. Everyone else just talks about it. Incessantly. So don't be shy. So don't be shy. Pipe up and speak your mind. There is nothing you can't discuss in Canada when it comes to sex. You can call up strangers and say, "Hi! We're taking a survey and we want to talk to you about sex! Do you like sex? How much do you like sex? How often do you have sex?" Do not talk about love, however. That makes Canadians uncomfortable.

While browsing through it, I came across this quote and immediately decided I had to buy this. Anyway, The Newfoundland Rule does explain why Canada relies on immigration so much.
