For anyone wondering, my computer bit the dust due to lightning a couple weeks ago. I'm waiting on claim papers to be processed so I can replace parts and get my refunds. I just need a new hard drive right now, but having no system drive kinda gets in the way of having a running computer.

Been working my ass off lately for a new company. I started up a career as an electrical/mechanical maintenance technician for factory equipment. I'm currently in training and will be there for the next 9 months. Then I have a two-year job agreement with them and I can move to just about anywhere I want in the US. The pay is quite nice, too.

Interesting story.

Years ago I got a fifty-cent piece that I decided to carry around for as long as I could. I etched my initials on the front, too, with a little pocket knife. I ended up having to spend it after a few years, though. I forget exactly what I paid for, which is kinda sad, but it was gone.

Anyway, I got it...

Fuck all. I've gotten something in the vicinity of 10 hours of sleep in the past week and I think I've smoked more in the last month than I have in the year before that. I need to find a new way to relieve stress because I'm gonna kill myself before I hit 21 at this rate.

Car broke down the other night. Transmission problems...

Anyway, she called me and asked if I'd pick her up a pack of Camel Lights on my way sicne...

Apparently I'm really threatening to boyfriends. The last three female friends I've had plans to hang out with have gone horrendously awry due to their boyfriends and/or husbands going absolutely batshit about them hanging out with me.

Even when I was dating someone I had this problem. It's completely ricockulous.

I went down to U of I last night to visit a couple friends and hit a few bars (woot for knowing people who are 21!). The problem was is that we couldn't find a bar with a big enough crowd where we could blend in and not draw attention that three of us were underage, so we ended up doing a liquor store raid....

So, 1:20 AM and I'm involved in an online World of Darkness campaign. It suddenly got very interesting when I was allowed to sit in on another character doing his pre-story set-up.

He was at a sandwich shop when a church burst into flames. He saw some figures moving away and told a police officer about it who then took him in the squad car...

Vaelastrasz down, mutha fuckas! Screenies in the photo album.

I'm going up to Wisconsin for the weekend to visit my cousins and grandparents. :waves goodbye to SG for the weekend:

I may decide to live up there for a couple months, though. I need to buckle down on this A+ and MCSE certification stuff I've been telling myself I'd do. I keep putting it off and putting it off because I have way too...
