You know how it is when you're listening to a song and want to just burst out singing, but you can't because you're in a public place/work? I don't, because I sing anyways, much to the concern of my coworkers (apparently they thought I had been injured). While I do agree that my rendition of Mr Brightside could use some polishing, I don't think they had to be mean about it... Anywho, I'm finishing up my last laptop of the summer as I type, and its very relieving to be doing so. I've rather enjoyed working here the past couple of months, but I could certainly do with a break.
In other news, my stomach hurts from the Subway I had for lunch, so I'm shopping for some stuff online to take my mind off of it. I'm also brainstorming the wonderful gifts I'm getting Lauren for her 'hooray-you're-going-to-college' package. I think I've settled on a final list of gifts, and even though I won't be able to get ALL the stuff I wanted, I believe it will be well received =) I'm pretty much ecstatic about moving in tomorrow. I know I'm going to miss my family, and I'm gonna be worried about my mom, but I'm very ready to start my sophomore year.
Alas, a shit-ton of computers just got dropped off. Workworkworkworkwork time.
Funfun.
Show us something (or someone) you're sick of.
Right now I'm sitting at work, reading this awesome book Faithe gave me, and for once, I don't mind being here. Granted, I will be hating this place completely in two days, but for the time being its nice to be making some money and tooling around with dilapidated technology.
My past week has been far from the norm at my house. Wednesday morning, which started out odd simply because Billy decided to drop by, I received a call from Baptist Hospital, telling me that my mom had been in a wreck. I immediately drove over there, to find my mother covered in grass and fairly bruised up. She went into surgery later that day to get her shattered hip bolted back together. The days since then have been a sort of surreal daze, with Billy staying at my house two days as well as hanging out with Lauren, and then my mom, now home, hobbling around (barely) on a walker when she isn't unconscious from pain medication, and my car sitting in my front yard after being beat up and crunched from diving nose-first into a drainage ditch. It has been a mess, that's for sure. In all though, I guess I'm doing okay. I've been upset off and on the past couple of days, but I feel a lot better today. I guess the shock of it all is really what has been getting to me, but you know, its nothing I can't handle. My family, myself included, has been through worse, and regardless of what comes next, we can take care of that too. That's life for you.
To add to the surreality of it all, I return to Wake (to live) this Saturday. I find it so incredibly hard to believe that 3 months has gone by since I packed all that crap into my little car and dropped my key at the door. Then again, I believe the culprit here is all the fun I've had since that day. I mean, me and lauren have been spending a lot of time together (though it could never be enough) and I've been working a not completely unbearable job, not to mention the ridiculous amount of World of Warcraft me and my brother have been playing (srsly, I gotta cut back). I guess I can say it was a summer well spent.
Speaking of summer ending, my baby is starting college in a week or so as well, and I couldn't be more excited for her. I know she has been feeling a little apprehensive of the whole thing, but judging by my general expereince with college life, I think its safe for me to say she is going to absolutely love it. I'm a little disappointed that my new job has me tied up dealing with Wake freshmen the same day she moves in, but it looks like her family is going to take care of her and stuff, so I'm not as worried about that.
Ahh...my tum is rumbling, and for once I have a lunch that doesn't contain a sandwich. I have some single serving hamburger helper that I plan on devouring. Mmmmm cheesy goodness in mere minutes.
Below is a repost of a picture taken in Glenn's parking lot. Birry is smashing lauren's car. Why does Birry smash? Did lauren's car do something offensive? Is it because he's the Juggernaut, bitch? No, its because he's Birry. And BIRRY SMASH!
Rawr!
Yeah, I'm a little annoyed at the moment. Apparently my time card, due to the indiscretion of my coworkers, had to undergo extensive review. Due to this, I don't know if I'm going to get paid on time. That blows. Big time.
In other, much happier news, I'm going to see Lauren tonight, and I absolutely cannot wait until 5 o'clock so I can go. I connived myself out of working tomorrow (funny how I was just looking down my nose at my coworkers...) so I'm getting to spend this afternoon and a good chunk of tomorrow with my wonderful, amazing, too-good-to-be-true girlfriend. I'm fairly excited to be hitting up target tonight, because an Icee sounds absolutely delish right now, and I doubt that craving will subside any time soon.
I haven't had much music lately, because I can't seem to locate my head phones, and there are always people using the ones that are here. That's ok though, my Bright Eyes Cd has been holding me over for the time being. I really do feel like typing more here, but due to my inability to control my nerdy urges, I was up late playing video games, so now I think I'm going to sit here with my eyes closed and try to be inconspicuous for a while.
I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?

Only one. You live in Chernobyl.
Well, I had posted earlier, but it got...deleted...sorta..
Anyways, I'm at work, jamming to some Weezer while reloading a couple laptops and trying to figure out why the OmniClone is being retarded (its brand new for goodness sake), and decided I really do need to put something on Vox. Yeah, life has been a little off kilter for the past week or so. Aaron's birthday party was last Wednesday, which was fun I suppose, though it would have been infinetly more enjoyable if I didn't have to repoirt to Jury Duty the next day. Luckily, that turned out to be an ok time. Any good excuse to not go to work, get twelve bucks, and read a book is fine with me. Billy stayed at my house Thursday night. That was a good time, considering him, my brother, and I just sat around killing each other on Call of Duty 4 for 6 hours. Good times. Speaking of video games! I finally got my Druid up to 69 on WoW. One more freaking level. Sadly, I have a good deal of work to get done before I level or its going to be a bitch to do. Whatever, back on track. Saturday, Lauren, Martyrplushie, and birrychrist came over for a cookout. My dad made some pretty delicious kabobs, as well as hot dogs and hamburgers. Nom nom nom. Afterwards, we dropped Billy off and went to Lauren's for some snugglin, even though everyone was tired. Sunday pretty much consisted of me couch potato-ing it with some WoW and TV. As well as a trip to Wal Mart, where some punk in Heely's found his just reward amongst a large pile of Doritos. Sweet, sweet justice.
Anyway, back to fixing these mechanical nightmares. Can't wait until tonight! Woot!
In honor of Bastille Day, show us something French.
What? I know it isn't French, but it certainly is nommers.
Show us a puppy.
I just read this Vox Hunt, decided not to do it, clicked Stumble, and got this picture. I felt it was a sign.
Seriously guys, this has been the slowest afternoon I've had here. I haven't done anything since I got back from lunch at 1. That's ok though, because frankly I'm feeling a little tired and could definitely use the rest. I am in a pretty nerdy mood at the moment, so I think I'm going to go back to looking for some flash games to pass the time, just thought I'd pop in for an update =)
I thought my general audience (if it could be called that) would enjoy this.
What did you learn in kindergarten that you wish you did a better job of applying to the way you live your life today?
- Take naps, even if you don't want to or feel like you have time.
- Pretend to be sick every now and then just to get a day off.
- Play time is never over.
I'd keep going, but the overwhelming cliche's are killing me. But really, I should have taken today off, or at least taken a nap. And I totally would rather be playing video games right now...
