Power's been out since tuesday. 88mph winds and mothers of all electric storms will do that. Still not fully back in service, but i have some power, so, i'm not complaining too much. Well, not about electricity. Anymore.
Wow. Mouse just ran across my room.
I drank a little tonight. Then decided to pop 2 ephedrine and take a nap, therefore being nice and refreshed...

I've decided that today is a reinvent-me day. I'm going to go skating and learn to jump over things (probably kill myself in the process), and i'm going to study that guitar chord poster i found in the trash when the students moved out [Dumpsterdiving rules. Werd to your muffler].
I've had three cigarettes since the 2nd, which i don't think is all that bad....

i need to learn some guitar chords, real ones not power chords
Okay... no work today... no work yesterday... no work tomorrow or the day after. I'm feeling good.
No cigarette today... no cigarette yesterday... no cigarette tomorrow... no cigarette ever. I'm feeling good.
For Jonny's birthday i wrote him a song. It's about a rocketship named Jonny J. I like it. It's pretty cute.
Lessee if i can remember how it goes...

Geek time!
Gubernator = Latin for "helmsman" or something like that, basically the guy who guides a ship.
Nowadays, gubernatorial refers to governor-type stuff. Arnie is running for gov, don'tcha know?

2 days left of the 4am madness 
As Susan Powter of buzzcut fame would say:
"STOP THE INSANITY!"
...although i may be voluntarily subjecting myself to an all-new breed of madness. Matt, our monday-thru-friday 11am-6pm dude, is leaving my station after 2 years. So,i'm going to propose that i take over matt's schedule plus, three 5:30pm-11pm shifts a week. so, that's... errr... math... 36 hours...

To be perfectly honest I didn't read all of that because I'm tired and lazy...but I'm glad things are well...even precariously so.

Four days? Good for you! I had five last week, but I had to spend them travelling back to my hometown. Then I came back and worked eight in a row, so I'm definitely ready for some hardcore slacking. I think I'm off to a good start.
So very sleepy today.
I want to stay up. I have to sleep.
It's 5pmish.
I wish i had a life right now.
On the brighter side of things, i still have legs.
I'm alive too.
I made Jonny's b-day present yesterday, worked on it today. His b-day is the first. can't tell you what it is, he might find out, but it's really exciting....

I just read your last few journal entries because you live somewhat close to me and I am curious about the SG midwest scene. I am kinda new to Illinois and am from Portland, OR. I've gathered that you live with/date a guy named Johnny, skate, and work at a gas station. Do you ever actaully pump gas for customers. IT is illigal topump your own gas in Oregon. They wanted to create more minimum wage jobs. I like much of you're taste in music and was extrememly impressed by the Space Coast listing (I have a magic toenail...).
It sounds like you had some of life's more complicated things going on. I hope it all worked out for you.

Okay, so i guess i was a permanent fixture at your local 24 hour restaurant of choice. It was ever changing. And not because, odds were, i was working there at the time... but because i wasn't alone.

i've been patronizing the Bob Evans very much on this trip........it's a good time, but they kick all the riff-raff out at 10 sharp every night.
I met pantsonfire today. He came to get fuel on his way to St. Louis. I was sorta apprehensive about meeting someone from online, even more apprehensive about meeting someone from a nekkie site, but it was really cool and if at the very least i had bulletproof glass... and it was broad daylight at 10AMish... Heh... AMish. He was wearing his windfall SG hoodie...

Well... manager left today... to Rhode Island. He made a statement before he left the station this morning. He gave his pager to me. I have a cell phone. "Take care of my station." Well, i'll certainly try, but i've never had so much responsibility at a job before. I know it's just a gas station and all, but i've been there since November. Longest...

If anyone wants to learn a deep, dark secret about me, read my comment to .slate's journal... well, except Slate... you've already been there... in case you get here late or i don't update, it's the one for the 20th. It's totally juicy.

Yeah, she's malformed and out of proportioned and all... say what you will of my kitty, she's still sexy.
Yeah, so i saved $15 using my Kroger Card at the store tonight, spent $35, and now have enough 2-for-$1 2-liter sodas to last... well, to last until my house winds up drinking them all. I love being thrifty. It's so satisfying.

Oh, you know it when one of those punks saunter into the gas station. You know it. You can smell it on 'em. They can be tricky. Some of them walk into the store with a smoke in their hand, some of them have a ticket... but it's in the car... and they drive off. THIS one played my favorite game, defiant eye contact. my...

ah, reading your journal makes me glad my wife left back in january. now i am unburdened, and have rediscovered myself, and feel better than ever. i want to move to new york city so i can conquer the biggest city in the whole country.
i can't offer words of comfort - not even plagiarized ones - but something will happen and you too will be back to normal (not the city, the state - fuck, that was confusing)
