Had a great day off...last night I headed down to the burg at the last minute to hang out at Attitudes with Jacob...they had two great bands last night...really quality stuff. I can't wait to see them again. However, lol, I did my unintentional usual and we left early, lol...yeah...then this afternoon we hung out for awhile at lunch, but I had to head back here to work on some websites I have going for some people.

So tomorrow is the morning of hell...I have to be at the hotel at 6 in the morning...so yeah, that means I have to wake up at 4:45am. *sigh* But the good news is, I'm done at 2, then I have two more days off. Alriiiiiiiiiight!

So, I just realized as I'm watching Harry Potter that Moaning Myrtle has to be a parsel-mouth...because only they can hear the snakes speaking; everyone else hears just hissing. Hmn...

Oh, I got my t-shirts for RAM in the mail yesterday...did I mention that here? They're really cool; so are the stickers. So buy something!

It's that time again: time for my bi-annual misanthropic post!

I hate people. People just plain suck.

There's only a few people I really love...and fewer that I actually respect. If I had to choose between keeping communications or keeping my beer, I'd choose the beer.

And AIM mobile has appeared to be down on this side of the country for days now...I'm missing the cutsie messages from Jacob every few hours. They make my work day soooo much better. Hehe. *giggles*

Anyone been to the Tripleside forum lately? LMAO...

God, blogger can suck sometimes. So, Lance, don't really know if that got edited or not, but I got your email and things are cool...I was just getting antsy because I needed shit, like, yesterday and I can't seem to get in touch with you. But yeah, I'll call your cell tonight or something. Anyways...

Anyone watching the Democratic National Convention will understand this: hamster CPR.

"So the next time you choose to be in a bad mood and not put any effort into being pleasant, know that you are bringing everyone else down with you. And then people will write in their bloggers what d*ck you are. Hahahaha!"
Hahaha...I love Fluffy!

Yesterday was great...woke up, headed over to the Post Office to see about getting a PO box for RAM, then headed on down to B-burg to hang out with the boy - he was standing in the doorway waiting for me when I got there, lol. He's so cute. So we got food, made sandwiches, then sat outside for a bit to eat...ever put cucumbers on a sub? Really good. Then we sat down for a bit more DS9, then headed over to Kent's for their rehearsal, which was awesome...got to hear my boy sing for what, and hour at least? But the best part of the night was at the radio show, where they played a few songs live...it sounded so good! Plus, lol, I got to throw in a little background vocals on one song, so yes, there you have it...I made my live debut last night, lol. And remember, we're still accepting members into the Jacob Fan Club, so join now! LMAO. And yes, Corrie, the cheat is not dead. :-D

So I'm off to work...bleh...wish I was still cuddled up with Jacob...

Song of the Day: Tripleside - "Closer to Shore" www.tripleside.net

Wow, I have a great boyfriend...he's taking me on a picnic! So cute!

Nothing like a good dose of hipocrisy to completely destroy a friendship. What's it going to take for people to realize that I don't care what you say, when your actions show what you really feel. Maybe this way it's easier...

I see myself on the edge of infinity.
Smiling, flying, wishing you were with me.
I go through the daily routine,
Wondering why I can't be free.

If you could take it back, would you?
If I needed you tomorrow, could you?
I sit back and look at my life unwind.
I'm running out of time.

You were so sure, sitting there,
Nodding, running your hand through your hair.
I think back to what might have been.
I see myself falling in the downward spin.

If you thought I needed something, should you?
If I'm running out of time, will you?
I try to hold it in, and watch it pass,
Thinking, "How much longer could this last?"

I'm running out of time; there's no looking back.
You put on your coat and pick up your hat.
I watch your back go through the door,
And I'm wanting so much more...

If you could turn back, would you?
If I tore it away, could you?
You're holding my love in your hands.
I shouldn't have been so careless.

Careless...

- The Last Laugh, "Careless" (from Beautiful Void)

So the launch seems to be going well...got pretty good feedback so far, and within the last day have had 2 more artists contact me, as well as another promoting company about cross-promoting sites. So good stuff.

Jacob is so sweet. We've gotten into the disgustingly cute process of using the mobile AIM stuff to text message each other at random times, so I got one message at 2:30 this morning, then another just as I was walking into work. *giggles* I like him...

Other than that, just chillin' out...

Here's some AIM profile wisdom:

From Champe -
WashMarx: You're using your brain! That's insider trading!

From Mike -
--flashy profile garishness inserted here...
--really depressing quotations here...
--some broken links to click here...
--a snippet of an AIM conversation where someone said something really stupid here...
--maybe a poem that means nothing to anyone else, or part of a song where the singer bitches about how crappy his life is here...
there, i hope my conformity to your aim standards is tolerable. i think ill go eat a hotdog now to celebrate.

From Molly -
New potential nicknames must be submitted to MONA (Molly's Official Nicknaming Association) before use. Thank you for your input.

So I was searching online for some old writings of mine and came across this site that had one of my friends featured on it. I'm so impressed I can't stand it. He is truly one of the best men I've ever known, and I'm so happy he's done so well:


"Johnnie Moore, Jr currently resides in Lynchburg, Virginia where he ministers at Liberty University. He completed his full undergraduate degree in two and a half years, and recently began pursuing his master's degree. During his first year at LU, he served as a personal assistant to an LU Vice-President and Dean of the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. The next year he was invited to serve on the executive staff of the Spiritual Life Office at Liberty and managed the chapel services for the university. In May of 2003, at only twenty years old, Dr. Jerry Falwell invited Johnnie to the position of Campus Pastor. As a result, he is the teaching pastor at the Sunday Morning Campus Church service, leads teams of students to minister internationally, handles many of the day to day affairs of the Spiritual Life office, and is working to establish a ministry to the other college students of Virginia. He continues to travel internationally speaking at churches, school, organizations, retreats, and camps as his schedule allows."

So Radio-Active-Music.com has officially launched! Check it out, and tell your friends!

Wanna help promote? Use some of these images in your daily internet shenanigans:






Today has been good...so far there's been little feedback, but most of it good, plus within an hour of promoting I already had a new band join the site, so that rocks.

Picked up my 51 Peg CD and it rocks, of course!

Talked to my Jacob, and wow, he's just great. Where did he ever come from? Lol. *texts messages again* I can't wait for Wednesday...

Song of the Day: Jimmie's Chicken Shack - "Leech" www.jimmieschickenshack.net

So barring any unforseen circumstances, radio-active-music.com will launch tomorrow!

I spent more time looking for my mic...where the hell is it? Grrr...the other night I worked a lot on "Heh", and I'm ready to record. It's pretty exciting - this is the first song I've programmed. So it's going to be rather different from things like "Purgatory" and "Forever".

I have to say that this song is kinda hard to do. I wrote it first about two months ago. I'm guessing you can figure out what it's about. The thing is, I wrote it thinking something that turned out not to be true. So it's difficult to record an angry song when you're no longer angry. And can't even tap into old anger because it's not even a real part of the past. But I couldn't just throw this away; it's a really good song for me. In any case, I guess that's my disclaimer before I release it...this is no longer directed at anyone, and is meaningless. Yeah.

So, off to bed! Talked to Jacob for awhile earlier, and all I have to say is that I'm way too cute for my own good. *texts messages again*

Who loves me?

If you do...or if you like the music I listen to and wanna support radio-active-music.com, then head over to cafepress.com and buy something. I only make like, a buck and a half on the shirts, and maybe 50 cents on the stickers, but every little bit helps. http://www.cafeshops.com/r_a_m

I just bought some stuff, so if you wanna wait to see how it turns out, that's cool, lol! Let me know if there's other cool stuff you guys might want...

So I'm even more cool now...get to go to the post office to pick up the new 51 Peg album that Elise sent me, plus...

Now you can IM me at work! I jumped on that bandwagon and got IM for my cellphone, so plug Zeta Vande II into your buddy lists!

So yesterday was great...I got home and checked the mail, and ended up with...
1) My dental insurance
2) My security deposit from my apartment
3) The Birthday Massacre's new album PLUS a handwritten note from Chibi

So I jammed out to Violet all the way down to Tech to Franklin's party, and it was so cool...scary though, because it ended up being like a high school reunion. I saw people there who I hadn't seen since BEFORE I graduated, so that was crazy. One of them was an ex, Ricky, who I really hadn't talked to since like Junior year. So we hung out a bit, and that was really cool.

Then it was attack of the friends' brothers...definately had the brothers of two of my close friends drunk and hitting on me all evening, lmao. Had to work into the conversation very quickly, oh, hey, I have this great boyfriend...hehe, but it's still fun to know that I'm attractive, lmao.

So I headed home around 1 or so, then called the boy...hehe...he's so cute. I can't wait till Wednesday...

Song of the Day: The Birthday Massacre - "Play Dead" www.nothingandnowhere.com

Slow day again at work...just chillin' at the business center while this conference wraps up...probably won't get out early today, but it's all good...just have to put the equipment away for these few rooms.

Been spending time going back and reading my blog from the last few months...basically from breaking up with Steve and on...it's interesting to look back and see what I thought then to what I think/know now. Perspective - what an invaluable thing.

I think a big question weighing on my mind is something that I think I discovered at the end of high school. There's a Plumb song where she talks about love being divine. As I look back over failed relationships, and think about how my own feelings have changed, I wonder if it's a bigger deal then what I'd like to make it out to be. I've never been pushy about my faith, but I think there might be some unbending truths that just can't be escaped or ignored, and this may be one of them. I know these guys loved me. But not enough.

So yeah, feeling pretty thoughtful and somewhat unsure...

So last night was good! Got off work a bit early...work was crazy, lol. Crazy in the "nothing is happening so we're bored out of our minds" kind of way. I mean, it's cool that our manager is looking out for us and making sure we get hours, but yesterday was definately one of those "why am I here?" days. So me and Chris did our stuff, then just chilled. He's a fun dude. Our supervisor has transfered to a different position, so we're going to be pushing for an after work drink sometime soon, lol. It'd be cool.

Anyways, so I got home and just relaxed for the first time in a week or two...then Joe came by and we watched some Family Guy and talked about some stuff. The real question is: where the hell is Nad? No one seems to know.

Sometime during the course of the evening I went over to Lance's blog finally. Not like I thought it was going to be...I guess I am moving out of the "ex-girlfriend" stage to the "just friends" stage again. It's nice that I can really look back now and see some progress, though not maybe as much as I would like. But yeah. I guess dismantling old dreams takes time, especially when I had greater than normal expectations. *sigh*

Before I went to sleep I called Jacob and we talked for a bit. That's really one of the best things I can imagine...his voice being the last thing I hear before I sleep. *happy sigh* He hit a concert he had really been looking forward to, but accidently got jipped on a CD he bought...moral of the story: be very careful in buying CD-R's, lol. But he sounds like he's having fun at home, which is good. Even though I miss him. A lot. *cuddles with Murphy in the meantime*

So I think that's it...feeling good today...hope work goes well. Will probably be driving down to the burg with Joe tonight for Franklin's party...we'll see how that goes, lol. Corrie told me to nibble on his ear for her, lmao...ah, the college years...

*wanders around aimlessly looking for someone to cuddle with* Where's my boy!?

Hehe...I guess it's good that I have to work so much this week...otherwise I'd be getting rather lonely at this point. And off to work I go...

Song of the Day: The Birthday Massacre - "Lovers End" www.nothingandnowhere.com

So begins my week without the boy, lol. But I've got plenty to do, so it's probably better to have the weekend to myself.

Though not completely, because Franklin's b-day party is Saturday, so that should rock! If anyone wants to go, hit me up...and if anyone wants to let me crash at their place in B-burg, that would be cool too, lol.

But yeah, last night was fun. I think I passed the parent test, lol. And the radio show was great...Drew's a cool dude. People seemed to really like the mix of music we played...thanks especially to the Julien-K crowd for tuning in!

So yeah...off to work in a few...

Song of the Day: The Birthday Massacre - "Blue" www.nothingandnowhere.com

So I see that Nad has come back from the dead to update his blog. I totally remember that song, dude...and the new one rocks. \m/

Not much else going on...almost done with work, then I'll be heading down for dinner and the show. Getting more nervous, lol.

So I changed the title of the blog, and updated the side...enjoy!

It takes some time
To pull out those old songs
It's been awhile
Since I've been able to listen to them without crying
All the wasted dreams
All the shattered plans
Can I listen to the 'happiness' without expectation?
Can I hear the 'cosmic' chorus without regret?
Can I sing along?
Do you see these words and know
Exactly what I've been avoiding?
I'll never know...
Because I still avoid yours...
- The Last Laugh, "Avoid"

Song of the Day: Redrum - "Cosmic" www.redrumonline.com

I think one of the most wonderful personality traits that anyone can have is to be able to take a horrible situation and smooth it into something fun and beautiful.

Jacob has this gift, and then some.

So I drove down to Tech last night after work to pack up, and Jacob and Jeremiah came through to help...by 2am my entire apartment was boxed up. Talk about having great friends. Then, first thing this morning, I hear Jacob's soothing voice on my phone, saying he's ready to come over and help me and my mom pack the truck. A few hours later, he's riding with me home, to help unload all my stuff here. So all in all, he sacrificed the good part of two days and one night for me. But on top of that, he was always so calm, so gentle, so happy...just having him there made what was going to be an insufferable two days into an actual honest-to-God good time. Everything went so quickly and easily.

After we threw all my belongings in the basement, he stayed for dinner. My parents seem to really like him, which is crucial, lol. Tomorrow is part 2...his mom is coming into town and I'll be going to dinner with them. *nervous smile*

So yeah. Wow. This guys rocks. What a great week!

So now just chilling for a few, catching up on things while watching some TV...there's some old Western on the Hallmark channel with Alan Rickman in it. Wierd...

Song of the Day: Tripleside - "Blessed" www.tripleside.net

So angry.

My realtor just called asking why I haven't moved out? Because my lease goes until the first week of August? Yay for double-booking apartments...even though it's not my fault, I have to be out of there by tomorrow.

So after work I'm driving down there. I'll be up all night packing so that when my mom arrives tomorrow morning I'll be ready to put everything on the U-Haul and get out of there.

I will be in town around 11pm tonight. If anyone and everyone wants to come help me pack tonight and early tomorrow morning that would be great. I'd also appreciate anyone who wants to help load the truck tomorrow morning and afternoon. Call me for details tonight when I get them...

"...I guess I'm just used to being in previous relationships where the guy either was completely unaware of my feelings and needs, or just didn't care."
"It's funny you should say that as I'm adjusting your belt so that the metal isn't touching your skin."

Had a great weekend. Hung out with my big bro for most of Friday, then headed over to Attitudes for what was supposed to be a quick run-in-and-say-hi, lol. *snuggles* So me and Jacob spent all day Saturday together as I attempted to clean and pack up my apartment. Then Sunday we just lounged around and chilled, which was really cool. I like just lying around and talking to him. I like listening to his voice, lol.

So finally we tore ourselves apart and I headed over to Kate's for a very awesome night. She ended up having to cancel her cook out, so me and her just sat around eating sweet potatoe fries and playing cards. It's so great to just chill out like that, especially as everyone is in the process of packing up and moving on. Didn't get a chance to hang out with Lance after all; he had some major stuff come up, so he had to stay in town. One day...lol.

So I woke up early and hauled all the stuff I had packed home. Need to get that stuff out of my car before I head on to work. Working 2-10 tonight. Thank God for no 7am calls this week!

Anyways, here's a pic from Jacob's birthday party...

Song of the Day: Jimmie's Chicken Shack - "Falling Out" www.jimmieschickenshack.net

yeah we've all got doubts
might not be winning but still in the race

*yawn* So tired. Gonna crash out soon. I'm glad to have a few days off. Talked to Jacob after work, and he's gonna keep me company while I pack Saturday. Yay! That's a man right there...willing to brave the disaster zone that is my apartment.

I wrote another one
does this one count?
and did it cost as much as all the other ones?
so much more...

I'd also like to say that songs have so much more meaning when they're sung live. Especially for a private audience, lol. Just had to say that...I was thinking about how great last night was.

I've got a new song I'm working on...I'll post lyrics soon. :-)

Half-way through my shift, lol. Not too much happening, which is good. I'm sleepy. ;-)

Talked to Lance this morning, and hopefully he'll be coming up Sunday for a few hours. That'll be cool...chillin' at Best Buy, lol. (Bring my book and CD back, lol! And one of those Redrum shirts. Hehe.) Then Kate called, and she's having a cook-out at her place that night, so me and Jacob will be going to that. Should be loads of fun. :-) Yay for summer!

I have so many great pictures from last night, but I left my freakin' USB cable at my apartment, so no uploading for me. *smacks self*

I think last night was great. A lot of Jacob's friends came out to the Cellar, and it was really cool. Lot's of fun had by all...even if my evil plan to get him drunk didn't quite work, lol.

Then we headed over to the station for a short night show, since I am completely exhausted after my work schedule this week. Fortunately, only have a 6 hour shift this afternoon, then I have a three day weekend. Gonna have to get my car inspected tomorrow, then I think I actually might try heading out of town for the rest of the weekend to take care of some stuff.

Jacob's really sweet. I like him a lot. It sucks though, that I still battle with so many insecurities. I guess that's my legacy with so many failed relationships. *sigh* One of these days I'll stop doubting myself so much.

Anyways, yeah, pictures from last night coming soon. They're really cute. :-)

Song of the Day: 51 Peg - "Apology" www.51peg.com

Song of the Day: The Birthday Massacre - "Happy Birthday" www.violetprison.com

So the afternoon is getting a bit better. Almost done with my room sets for tomorrow, but it looks as if I'm going to have to stay late again tonight. No free time for me, eh?

The only sad part is that it's not even 1 yet, and I already ate all of my cookies I brought with me, lol. *hugs Jacob* I guess we'll have to make more sometime soon...

So back to work I go...just a few more hours...

What an awful morning. I can't do anything right.

So for like three days in a row now I've been getting sick after every time I eat. It sucks. Yeah.

Other than that, not much else...I am so tired this morning, even though I did force myself to go to sleep by 11:30 or so. I feel like I've already been here for hours, but it's not even 8 yet.

But this afternoon/evening will be more fun. Last chance to get some birthday shopping in...*evil grin*

Song of the Day: Tripleside - "Focus" www.tripleside.net

Watching the days slip by so fast
Knowing our fate has long been cast...

Kind of a sad night. Had a couple of upsetting conversations with some people...not bad or angry, just really depressing. I wonder in this world if anyone can be self-secured.

Coughing up feeling just for you
To find something real to hold on to
But there is a hole inside my heart
Where waves of my love come tumbling out...

So I stay up late, looking for someone, anyone to talk to...but then I realize that most people have better things to do than be online these days. And I really should get some sleep for work tomorrow.

You say that all the good is gone
That I have forgotten who I am
Free as a bird
Wild as the wind
But somehow I cannot let you in...

So is it Wednesday yet? *smiles*

Work has actually been rather fun today. Not too boring, but not too stressful. Good times.

Other than that, not much else is up. I'm almost finished with the website for Otto's Daughter, so hopefully I can get that to them soon. It'll be really cool, and J is really nice to work with. Plus their music rocks. :-)

So yeah, just taking a break and listening to a bit of Tripleside...

BTW - Aww...

Song of the Day: Fluffy Starr - "Perfect" www.fluffystarr.com

Warning: this blog entry contains unusually high levels of sweetness. Do not read if you have consumed a large amount of sugar in the last 24 hours; you may instead scroll down to the next section.

So yeah, what a wonderful weekend. After work I headed down to the burg and met Jacob at the bar he works at, and we hung out while he did his stuff for the show. Pretty cool time - most of the bands were pretty good, but the last one didn't know when to quit. So that was kind of annoying, but we left anyways, lol.

So here's one of the insufferable sweet parts that I warned you about. Saturday was so not a normal day in my life, lol. After continuing our DS9 marathon, we decided to bake cookies together. Baking. Cookies. Can you imagine me even being in a kitchen? And then, when I wasn't looking. he made a heart-shaped one for me. What guy does that? Especially in my life, lol. It was great...especially since we were also playing darts and listening to "The Streets" at the same time, lol. (You know, that white British rapper that does that "Fit, But You Know It" song.) What a crazy great wonderful day. But then the best part is that I convinced him to pull out his guitar and play for me. Now, I'm a sucker for musicians, and even more so for good ones, lmao. And Jacob has such a beautiful voice, both in speaking and singing. So he sang a few song from some of the earlier Tripleside albums, and it was really nice. *sigh* Maybe one day I'll get a song like that for me? Lol. ;-)

Today was also pretty laid back...we hung out for most of the day again, then me and Jeremiah hung out for a few and had dinner before I came back to Salem, where I'm sitting now typing this thing and munching on some left over cookies. *contented sigh*

It's crazy how fast things can change. I never thought I'd be here within just a few days. But I'm not complaining, lol. This was definately one of the best weekends I've had in awhile. Not so much for the stuff we did, even though it was adorably cute, but because it's been so nice to just spend a lot of time getting to know him. The more we're together, the more I like him.

So yeah, it's official: this one's a keeper.

Ok, the overwhelmingly sugary part is over. Everyone else can resume reading.

It also randomly turned into a great weekend for music! I got two CD's in the mail in the last few days. The first one was from No Fate, and as I was checking it over, I saw that they had thanked me in the CD booklet! Totally unexpected, but really awesome. Haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet, but if it's anything like the demo they sent me it's gonna rock. Then Lanie sent the Julien-K street team a compilation album with a J-K song on it, so I need to pop that in the CD player, too. Fun times!

So anyways, yeah...in other news, Jacob's 21st birthday is Wednesday, so for those of you in the area: Wednesday, 9:30, The Cellar. We'll be there until 11ish or so before we have to go do the radio show.

And that's all for now, from the First Lady of Jacobia. :-)

Song of the Day: Alanis Morissette - "Head Over Feet" www.alanis.com

You know what's awesome about blogs? Going back and reading entries from months, even years ago. We all know that I do my yearly blog anniversary perusal, but it's just as entertaining to read your friends' journals and remember those times, or even to read about people before you knew them. Fun times. Some of my friends are in the habit of "starting over" by wiping their posts, but I wish they wouldn't. Yeah, sometimes the memories are painful, but I know at least for me, sometimes this thing helps me from repeating mistakes that I'd much rather forget.

I'd also like to take this time to say that I feel like a horrible person, but at the same time am rather ammused at myself. It's bad enough when you figure out that you still haven't taken the time to get the email addy of the guy you're seeing, but it's a hell of a lot worse when you go to look it up on Hokie Stalker...and you can't because you don't know his last name, either. Wow, rotflmao. So it's official...I suck in relationships. Fair warning. :-P

Anyways...I'm hoping that I can squeeze out of work early...gonna go check on a few rooms...

Taking a quick morning break before I go take down one of those big honkin' screens. Should be a good day...not too much going on, but not going to be boring either. :-)

Looking forward to tonight. Jacob's gotta work at Attitudes for a show, so I'll be hitting that and hanging out with him. Fun times. Not sure what we're doing tomorrow yet...I should check the weather...I'd love to hang out at the river or something. But I also need to introduce him to the joys of thrift store shopping, lol, so that might be a plan as well. Yay for time off work!

Alrighty...back to manual labor...

Really good day. Came home from work feeling great; a last minute addition of a screen half my body weight doesn't sound thrilling, but the fact that I can rock that on my own just as well as anyone else makes me feel great. Rowr!

Had good conversations today with several people. If this keeps up, my faith in humanity might yet be restored...

Off to bed...7-5 tomorrow, but then...Blacksburg and the tribbles await!

I dunno Glen...I sure as hell see a connection...

Hahaha, last night was crazy great! After work I headed down to Blacksburg to catch a few more of the final episodes of Deep Space Nine with Jacob and Mike. Hehehe...creepy Gul Dukat, eh? We also had a fabulous time playing with the Tribbles all throughout, of course.

Then the radio show was just awesome! Thanks for everyone who listened in, especially the one and only uber fabulous Corrie (hahaha...love you), Sarah, Marchelle (and her crazy bro, but it's all good, lmao), and Kent. We played some Celldweller, 51 Peg, Orgy, Lunarclick*, and probably the world radio premier of The Birthday Massacre's new single, "Violet." Fun times!

Also, I have to say that Mike is just a plain decent guy, and I'm glad I had a chance to talk to him more. (Even if I am a horrible friend and didn't recognize him with his hair dyed.) I was even pleasantly surprised that Jacob let me play one of his songs on the air...he's got a great voice. Can't wait to hear some new stuff. *hint, hint* However, didn't get a chance to play anything from Fried Chicken Bucket and the Watermelon Seeds - next week? Lol. *hugs Lance*

So I hope Mike and Corrie can make it down next week for the shenanigans I'm planning. Apparently, I'm the one who gets to through Jacob his 21st birthday party, and we all know what that means...hehe, actually, we're thinking of doing something chill like we did for me and maybe just hitting the Cellar or something for a few before going over to the station. So we'll see. More info on that soon. For now I get to go b-day present shopping...*evil smirk* Oh, the joys...

In other news, Heather, I don't know if you still read this, but I love you dear, and I hope things go ok. :-(

Off to work in a few...then need to catch up on the sleep that I definately did not get last night, lmao...*wink*

What if I said you were the one I've waited for? Would you give me the chance to see if it's the truth I speak...

Woove it or loose it!

So yeah, work is just dragging along. Only 3 more hours to go though...and my boss just radioed me to say another room set is cancelled, so that's cool. I hate setting up phones, lol.

Better go clock back in...

Ahh, who did I think I was kidding? I'm single for a reason - I'm just not that an attractive of a person. Go me.

Anyways, off to work a 10 hour shift first thing in the morning. But then the day gets better - finishing up the DS9 marathon and then the radio show. I will remember the tribble this time...

Urge to blog, but nothing to say. Meh. Feeling...unsure as to what comes next. Guess I'll find out.

To say that everything I knew was just a lie...

Last night I had a kind of sad conversation with Lance. I'd give anything to see him happy. But I know he's gotta do what he thinks is best, so I guess it's time for us both to fly free.

It seems my love is much like a coin
It lives through many needless exchanges...

But at the same time, had a very amusing conversation with Jacob. He's a cool dude. Found the band that he's the lead singer of, and damn, can he sing. It's good stuff, though not exactly what I listen to. So we laughed most of the night about random stuff (giggidygiggidygiggidygiggidygiggidy....) then finished off the night with away message wars. I won. :-D

Let's get flat...

Off to a short day at work. But for now here's JCS, with the soundtrack of my life:

to say that everything I knew was just a lie
a love a hope a dream
well what was it to you?
you can hold it in when you live
but it comes out when you die
the travesty of truth
the liberty of lies
I see three sides to coin
as I flip it past my eye
toss from hand to hand
you pick heads and I choose sides
and you scream tails fool
tales
well I've got a few that would pertain
it seems my love is much like a coin
it lives through many needless exchanges
somehow it's shape I still sustain
somehow this shape I still sustain
let's get flat...
to say that everything I knew was just a lie...
let's get flat...
to say that everything I knew was just a lie...
let's get flat...
to say that everything I knew was just a lie...

Anyways...nice weekend! Me and Jacob hung out with some of his friends yesterday...we watched like half of the last season of DS9, then went out for dinner, then headed over to the drillfield for fireworks. An hour later, my right side covered in mud lmao, we headed back to his place for some South Park, Family Guy, and Chappelle Show. Fun night. Quote of the evening: "This is what I get after I help you put your lid on?" Hehehe.

Not going to be able to hang out with Lance tonight, but stuff came up and I understand. Maybe later on this month.

So I'm getting ready to launch my site...I know I keep saying that, but I mean it this week. I have one more feature article to write up and I'm going with it. Yay! I'll be posting promo images here in the next few days so if you guys wanna help support this you can...avatars, buddy icons, banners, etc. Yay! I'm gonna make some t-shirts here soon.

I guess that's about it really. I spent most of the day moving out of my apartment. Mainly just throwing stuff out today, though I did bring some stuff home. It's always kinda wierd to pack up...I took down my big photo collage and a lot of my promo pics and stuff, and it's so wierd to think of what I started with at the beginning of the year and what I have now...so many memories. But good memories. And my bed broke. Like seriously, broke. Good thing I have a real one here, lol.

Song of the Day: Jimmie's Chicken Shack - "Promises" www.jimmieschickenshack.net

People piss me off to no extent. Last night I was talking to a friend (and I use the term loosely) who I hadn't talked to in awhile, and it just sucked. No way around it. This is the kind of guy who demands that we stay friends or whatever, but then puts no effort into the relationship, other than the uncalled for condescending angst somehow directed at me. Like it's my fault that his life sucks and mine's going well. Why in the world do people think that they can just treat me however they want and I'll take it? Do you really think that I'm so needy and helpless that I'll take any "friend" I can get? Maybe in middle school that was me, but not now. I have plenty of awesome, real, true, caring friends right now, and even if I didn't, there's nothing that I need that I can't do for my damn self. So seriously, if you feel the need to be an asshole to me, it'll be the last time you do it. I have no time for that.

In other news, me and Lance might hang out Monday night for a few. We're trying to get to a place where we can be friends again.

Steve called last night too. It was pretty cool talking to him again. He seems to be doing ok. He just went through something rough and I feel bad for him, but for those of you who know the details...better him than me. *shudders* I'm glad that he's not mad at me anymore. We should have always just been friends.

But today will definately be cool. Getting ready to meet my parents for lunch at Swagat soon, then heading down to Blacksburg to hang out with Jacob for our DS9 marathon, lol...

Too much fun. :-D

Song of the Day: Jimmie's Chicken Shack - "String of Pearls" www.jimmieschickenshack.net

Good weekend so far! Me and Jacob went to see Spiderman 2 last night and it was soooo good. Everything about it was just great, from the opening sequence (I absolutely loved the sketches taken from the first movie) to the action scenes to the story line to the acting. Just really quality entertainment. And to make the evening that much cooler, they played a preview of Catwoman before the movie, and I was listening to the music thinking it sounded familiar, and guess who it was? Celldweller! That rocks!

Today we went over to my aunt's for my grandma's birthday, so I got to hang out in the pool all day. So I got some more sun, and just chilled out. Good stuff.

Rest of the weekend should be cool, too. I'll probably be going over to Jacob's tomorrow for a DS9 marathon, lol. Not sure what I'm doing Monday yet...I just need to work in some time to actually start packing up my apartment. *sigh*

Song of the Day: Celldweller - "Switchback" www.celldweller.com

Edit: helps to look at the actual paycheck, and not just the box where they took off taxes. *sighs in relief* :-)

Work is much nicer today, lol. I'm done for the evening quite early...just trying to check out with my supervisor now. The only unfortunate part of not working is not getting paid. I just got my pay check; almost a third of what I got last pay period. Very, very depressing.

But on the flip side, I may have a decent paint job coming up, and that's money right there. *keeps fingers crossed*

I'm out...

So the radio show is a good way to unwind. I was so stressed out last night. After all the frustration at work me and Lance had a few words, but fortunately I calmed down. I guess now that I didn't have to be worried about him anymore a lot of my anger came back in full effect. But we had a really good phone convo later on in the evening, and that was cool...it was nice to hear his voice again. He also told me about some stuff and some decisions he made over the last week that made me feel a bit better. He's a good guy, really. I just wish we could find a way to be unshaken. There's a Jimi lyric for you.

Speaking of JCS, the show was so much fun! Jacob brought his friend Kent in with him, so we had lots of crazy things going on. We both forgot our Tribbles, lol, so we played with paper airplanes instead, lol. It was also "Night of the Quagmire", lmao. But yeah, I got to give out some love to a few good bands...we rocked JCS three times over the evening, and also played Redrum, 51 Peg, Fluffy Starr, No Fate, and Glamour Kings. Thanks to Sarah and her friend, Lance, and Thorn for listening! And of course to the uber fabulous Corrie and all her text messaging shenanigans, lol.

So today is my last day of work for awhile...don't work again until Tuesday afternoon. Planning on seeing Spiderman 2 with Jacob sometime over the weekend, then my grandma's birthday is Saturday so we're all heading over to my aunt's for that. Fun times. And earlier I mentioned that Drew is coming in to town so hopefully I can hang out with him, Nad, and Joe sometime over the weekend.

Also was able to work out some of the problems I mentioned earlier in my blog last night with some people. That's cool. I don't like fighting with anyone.

Gonna eat some lunch then head on to work...blah...
