Andy is calling for help up in Cedar Springs. I have a lot of drywall and crap to throw in a giant dumpster. And I still have a bunch of drywall I need to tear down still, plus then try to tear up all the carpet.

Any help in carrying stuff to the dumpsters would be appreciated. I'll probably be here until 8pm. 86 N Main.. Next to CarQuest. Big '86' in the front window.

I have the dumpster until Tuesday but some people are a little pissed about it so if at all possible I'd love to get most everything in the dumpster and see if I can't get it picked up on Saturday.

i seriously think this game is rigged.

does anyone else think it's weird that the favored presidential ticket is "Obama - Biden" when just a few years ago the stereotypical bad guy was "Osama bin Laden".

i just think it's bizarre. and not that i ever cared about osama, or obama, really. because for the most part, i resent politics. but that just struck me on a linguistic level, and i had to acknowledge it.

Drama Orgy
I'm sick. It started awhile back with an annoying cough. Now my sinuses are all crazy and the cough has progressively gotten worse. I'll survive, I'm sure, but it's annoying.

So we still haven't signed the lease for this house; this, turns out, is a good thing. The rent here is $850 a month, which is an outstanding figure, I'm aware, but it worked because there was enough of us to get it paid. Plus it's an awesome house and we were willing to pay it.
Now, however, Jake hates Lacey because she bitches (true story), Lacey hates Jake because he's a slob (another true story), and Ashley is annoyed with Lacey for bitching. I'm kind of in the middle of it all and was actually slightly oblivious to it all because I tend to be happy and cheerful and therefore didn't really notice that everyone hated the other. So, now I'm the only one not in a fight with another, so all three of them are coming to me and venting and I'm getting stressed out, but I feel kind of obligated to listen because that's what a friend does, right? So, last night Lacey told me that she was moving out. I'm the only one who knows this, next to Kelly and now whomever reads this, and I swear I'm going to get an ulcer.
Now, the lease thing comes into play here, because we can't afford to pay the rent with just the three of us, so we're looking for another house. The only one we've really got in mind is this possible meth lab. That's what it looks like, but this one kind of does too. lol all the houses are kind of skanky looking, but it's cool, it works. Ashley and I are going to go look at it tomorrow night in between classes and see how we feel about it. It needs to be cleaned, that's for sure, but this one did too, and we got it done. It'll suck doing it twice, but whatever. Jake doesn't really give a shit what it looks like as long as he has a room.
So that's the drama.

School's alright I guess. I loved my Philosophy class. Business Law wasn't as boring as I had predicted, but I have a quiz in there tomorrow, so we'll see how hard it is. Uh... I had art today and I kind of didn't wake up so I missed it. Woops...
I have those first two classes again tomorrow, plus accounting. And an online class. I'm going to be so fucking busy all the time, with that and work.

Oh, speaking of douchey work, I requested the 16th off to go get Kell in KC, and fucking Polly, my ugly pregnant Manager, denied it. So, I'm going to throw a bitch fit to Jenn, the other, less hormonal, Manager. She's cool as it stands, but we'll see how the title sits after we're done talking.
Oh, I'm totally seeing about taking out a loan and buying a Grand AM. It's not new, by any standards, but it looks decent enough. I don't know how it'll go. Ashley's bitching, saying I need to save up first, but holy balls. I can't, I have to have a vehicle. I'm currenly driving my parents fucking van, and it kills me because it's a gas hog. It's not bad looking by any standards, but like... I'm 19. I'm tired of driving a blasted mini-van, you know? So, it'll really help if we get this new house because I'll be paying approximately $233.50 a month, instead of roughly $300 = awesomesauce.

Hmm, besides the fact that I miss Kelly a LOT, that's about all.

Greatest story evAR.
My friend Chubbs wrote this. I fucking drownededed in lawl tears.

---------------

"lol"

So there I was, right? You know, like, the place.

I threw marcus a shuriken and we headed into the darkness. The tenseness in the air was to say the least... INTENSE. As Marcus and I traversed the inner city allyways of the metroplis of Wheatonia we knew one thing to be certain. One thing to be true and one thing to be right. We knew that we had to protect this with our lives much like our forefathers before us and our lineage would after us.

Suddenly in the stillness and tranquility of the night arose a distant siren. "This can't be good" I said to Marcus. He looked at me and spoke only with his emotions. Marcus was a pretty calm guy and I had known him for much of my life. It took a lot to stir him up and to see him looking at me with a face like that - a face of utter fear was disheartening to say the least. Marcus pulled his rokushakubo from its placement on the ground and casted a spell on both of us to protect us from the infection.

It had been seven months since the spread of the deadly pandemic had begun. In our small base we had formulated what was the cause of all of this but other than knowing that anyone who became infected turned into rabid almost zombie like creature we knew very little. We also knew that our only real means of combating them thus far had been our magicks which would always buy us enough time to escape after gathering supplies or whatever our mission might have been.

The siren edged closer...closer..closer. Something was wrong something was very wrong. When suddenly, out of no where,

CAPTAIN PLANET.

HE SHRIEKED: "BY OUR POWERS COMBINED... CA-CA-CAPTAINNN PLANET."

Captain planet began doing his shit and kicking rabid zombie ass until suddenly, out of no where, IT WAS SPIDERMAN, EXCEPT THE DARK ONE, RIGHT? he was infected and pissed as hell, he charged STRAIGHT AT captain planet.

The two battled hardcore crazy like and no later than a second after captain planet had dismantled dark spiderman IN CAME THE POWER RANGERS EXCEPT THE WERE ZOMBIES. THEN THE JUSTICE LEAGUE CAME AND THEY LOOKED POISED FOR VICTORY FOR THE GOOD GUYS AND THEN THE ASIAN KID FROM DUSK TIL DAWN CAME AND HE HAD A WATERGUN AND WATERBALOONS AND WAS KILLING ALL THE ZOMBIES.

IT LOOKED AS IF THE GOOD GUYS HAD IT IN THE BAG UNTIL THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE CAME FLYING INTO THE BATTLE IN A SCENE MORE EPIC THAN THE BATTLE IN THE LORD OF THE RINGS THEY DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATHS.

AND THEN JESUS

JESUS LOL, JESUS CAME. USING HIS EXPERTISE IN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND STUFF HE BUILT WEAPONS FOR ME AND MARCUS AND CAPTAIN PLANET AND STUFF, EVERYONE EXCEPT THE ASIAN KID BECAUSE HE HAD WATERGUNS AND COOL SHIT ALREADY.

it was no use though, the four horsemen of the apocalypse were destined to win this battle but not the war, or at least thats what jesus is telling us up in here heaven, lol.

So obv jesus retreated knowing the end of the story and stuff, he raptured me and marcus into heaven and we lived happily ever after. I gotta admit though, captain planet is fucking annoying i wish he would have been a zombie.

"JUST WAIT UNTIL 1000 YEARS FROM NOW, I'LL GET YOU, OH I'LL GET YOU." God murmured as he drank his herbal green tea. It's funny though cause I don't really know what's gonna be different in a thousand years but apparently shits gonna go down. Anyways

THE END.

Happenings As Of Late...
I've been really, really depressed lately. Kelly time is in need, imho.

So, there's this guy that comes through my line every single day I work, and he's always flirted with me and stuff, and just to be nice and whatever, I kind of do it back. Just like meaningless shit, laughing at his lame jokes, etc. Well, tonight he asked me out. The scenario goes as follows:
Larry: So do you drink coffee?
Me: Omg yes, lots.
Larry: Well... do you want to get some with me one of these mornings?
Me: Well that would be fun and all, but I have classes starting up and I go in the mornings so that's out. Sorry!
Larry: I'll assume you eat then?
Me: ...Yeah.
Larry: Well then how about dinner with me next night you're off?
Me: I'm sorry but that can't really happen, as flattered as I am, cause I've got a boyfriend. Sorry, but thank you for the offer!
Larry: Yeah, that does put a damper on things I would guess.
Me: *fake laugh* Depends on your outlook, cause where as I don't get a free dinner, I do have a guy that loves me at home. And you're saved the cost of buying me dinner... and dessert, cause I totally love dessert.
Larry: Hmm that is true. Alright, have a nice night.
Me: You too.

Yup. Did I mention he's got four kids as well? One older than me? Yeah. It was super awesome.
Anyway, that was the craziest thing ever, but my night was psychotic. My de-activator went out on register three, where I was, so I had to go to register two. Then like 45 minutes before I go home, my printer goes out, so I have to go to register one. We were short a cashier and it was insanely busy, so I was havening to get change like all night, which I hate requesting for whatever reason. There were TONS of WIC check outs, which is fine, they just take forever and make my IPH go down which sucks.
/end.

Anyway, yeah. That's like... all. Ooh apparently Kelly got me a present! I wanna know what it is, but he's a bottombrain and refuses to spill. That's fine, but it's like another month before he's here and I have that long to sit and think about what the hell it could be. I'm not good with surprises =(
But yeah, I love him!! Gah. So damn cute.

school starts yet again, very very soon.

you'd think i'd be excited. that's usually how it goes this time of year. a little mellow and pensive, but excited nonetheless.

however, this year i just feel kind of depressed. like it's basically over already, and i'm just going through the motions. jumping through hoops until the hoops are gone. i guess i'm just depressed because i know that i won't know what to do when that happens. i've been jumping (whether poorly or not is of little consequence) for so long, that it's all i know how to do. or at least, it's the only thing i've managed to convince myself i'm comfortable doing, despite the fact that i still to this day do not know how to do it.

i think i'll feel better once the days start getting shorter and cooler, and the leaves start to change, and i get to enjoy the smells of warm donuts and fresh apple cider and pumpkins and hay. i always love that time. and every august i forget that it's not for another two months or so.

but a boy can dream, i suppose.

and in the meantime, he should get a fucking job. how many times have i said that on here? and how many more times will i repeat myself until it actually happens?

more than i'd care to admit.
