Just wanted to update for the sake of updating real quickly. Life in the factory is drama as usual, and this summer it is already beginning to intensify. More details later, but pray that I don't lose my mind in this twisted underworld of pretzel loops and cheezy poofs...

So I have made my triumphant return to the pretzel factory, and shit's gone pretty smoothly so far. The ex and I even managed a smile at each other once, and no one has treated me weird so hopefully she didn't poison their brains. Also, my hot supervisor is now SINGLE which means she can flirt back with me like I've been with her for...

So, I'm back down to school for commencement to do my little "song and dance" as Mr. President, then back up here to work in the pretzel factory come Monday. Hopefully, I will retain my mind and soul from working that godless job, but you should be equally as scared every time you eat a pretzel or cheezy poof and think that there's a distinct...

What a night! My buddy graduated, we went out to the Ft. Waste bars with quite a posse, and hilarity ensued. Also, finally got a good night's sleep (eventually). However, tomorrow is the dreaded orientation for the factory, and there's a new shithead in charge of me this summer, not sure how I'm gonna dig that.....

So it has been a while since I've written! Finals are over, I have survived, taken good care of myself, and actually get a week off before I head into the factory for the summer . Oh well, just a few months of working like a robot and avoiding my bitch ex, can't be that bad, right? Updates will probably be a little less frequent...

So....started to write a little today (thank you kharnal for the motivation) and then got a random call from a girl I used to write a lot about. Coincidence? Who knows, but it was one of those things that makes the rest of the day better. And now, I move on to the task of avoiding drinking on a day with very little to do...

Official Diagnosis: Colitis comorbid with extreme stupidity. Treatment: no more booze for quite a while. Prognosis: expected to make full recovery, aside from self-respect. Wish me luck w/my finals this week, I'm about to go Francis Drake on these mf's AARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

The bender is officially over and I have survived. Any time you're emitting blood from your ass to the toilet you should probably stop drinking. I don't think they teach that in DARE, so I thought I'd let you guys know. Now to study for a Bio final I do not care about. Only 1 more week left. And kharnal, I apologize for my liberal...

Entering day 4 of my current bender. Now you say "Ryan, isn't it the weekend before your finals, and shouldn't you be studying?" And I say to myself, "Self, you are an Irish Catholic, so start acting like it." And I have.
