Back to SK

Well, I just started playing the new round of Star Kingdoms. last night. This is awesome. So far, I know of 4 other GA members who are playing. 2 of them, Demetz and W.L., are in my sector, which is really cool. I also know that Lissa and Mattie are playing as well. This is going to be f**king awesome! I think I'm getting a much better start this time, and I think I can do quite well. It's a fun game, and if you're interested, start quickly, because the round is already in full swing. Being any

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Annapolis, MD

Honestly, there are some places big trucks are not meant to go. Yet, to get a Common Carrier Alcohol Permit I had to go to 80 Calvert Street, Annapolis, MD.   Luckily, I had the foresight to leave my trailer at the customer's locaton. I can see driving a truck and trailer into Annapolis, but I can't see getting the silly thing turned around to get it back out.   Quaint and big trucks do not go together. It took me forever to find a parking place for the truck.   I came in on Rowe, turned r

Late night Bolero time

I sometimes have a hard time going to sleep. Thus, I am listening to Bolero, one of my favorite musical pieces. It has a variety of beautiful instruments playing the chorus, and it blends so well It even gives me goosebumps. There is nothing wrong with a love of classical music. It reminds us of the days of yore when life was simpler. By simpler, I mean that the world was not modernized. If you wanted to hear a song like this, you had to go to where it was being performed live. While that is sti

The Drop

When life has always thrown curveballs at you, don't you begin to accept them? What I mean is, when good things start to happen, don't you (after getting it all the time) wait for the impending thud of the shoe dropping and something bad going on?   That's how I feel right now. I have a good job, I have a loving boyfriend and I'm finally doing well in school, but I hate to say that I'm just waiting for something bad to happen. I've gotten so used to life getting me down that it's weird when it

Harbinger of Doom

I just saw an advertisement for "Captain Dan and his Scurvy Crew," who provide the world with "Authentic Pirate Hip-Hop."     I'm still trying to assimilate that one. I'm making an effort to be rational, and not to view it as a sign of a coming apocalypse, but I think it won't hurt to hit a confessional over the next couple days and take communion this weekend.

Losing Ctrl

Sunday afternoon as I was getting Tiff squard away in her new Hosted Status, and generally annoying anyone I could get ahold of on MSN the left hand ctrl button on my laptop popped off. I was annoyed to say the least. Missing buttons look ugly and ghetto. To say the least... Really I was more concerned with the asthetic more than I was any function.   Then I got to realizing how much I use that damn key for cut and paste...   Anyhow I did some quick research... this is how you replace said b

The results are in...

Well, I went to the health department. Last week I got tested for HIV. I had to wait a week, but the news is good. I am HIV negative. Now, I deleted my entry from yesterday, but I shall repost that video as well as another.   This is a hilarious parody about Sarah Palin based on "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat. It is freaking hilarious.     The second one is based on Hey Delilah. It's funny as hell too.

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Chicago, IL

When I accepted the load, I figured it being late I wouldn't have any problems running into the yard in Chicago, swapping trailers, and hightailing it back out before morning traffic destroyed all of my good feelings about the fact that the load was going to Connecticut, which just happens to be on the wrong side of the Hudson River.   So, when I got here (yes, as a matter of fact, I am still in Chicago) the trailer I assumed was to be there because the load stated the pickup date was 10/26/08

Unnatural Fears

I'm afraid I'm going to say something stupid.   I'm afraid I'm making a mountain out of a mole-hill   I'm afraid I'll wake up tomorrow and everything will be how it was two weeks ago.   I'm afraid I'll listen to my brain when it tells my heart to shut up, again.

Chronicles of My Life

If you hadn't already noticed...

I've kinda not been around a great deal lately.   I'm fine and there's nothing to worry about.   Basically, as I indicated in my forum post a couple of weeks ago, I've just had other things on my plate. LOL, those of you that have been around a couple of years or longer are probably already well aware that periodically I tend to disappear for a couple of months (or perhaps a bit longer)...well it looks like now is that time again. It's amazing how much more I'm able to get done when I don

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Jamestown, ND

It's been awhile since I've done this and even now it seems like an undesirable chore.   Home time was spent working at my mother's house getting it ready to sell; it goes on the market at the end of the month. My son and I will split the proceeds which won't be a whole lot, but might be enough for him to buy a house and for us to pay off 95% of our debt and fix up our house.   I also went to my shrink who was all smiles. He smiles all the time. He smiles so much you wonder if he's wearing a

Boyfriend to Rehome

Boyfriend is tall and pretty. He may require training to pick up after himself. He is very loyal, but may experience separation anxiety if you go anywhere without him. He can get very loud about it when you come home, so he

I'm the Misses... Mrs... whatever.

My life has been pretty weird these past few weeks... almost nothing is as it should be, it seems.   Davey is away for work again and it was like and eternity till I got to talk to him (a week and a half maybe) but when I did, it was perfect! There's just something about talking to him that makes me feel better, like everything will be okay, and he understands everything i'm feeling without me even having to say it... it's like he knows me or something Anyway, he should be home in less than

I'm Butch!

I bought a pickup truck today...fullsize . I'm feeling extremely butch right now. I'm going to call some of my biatches and see if they want to cruise with me and go to dinner.   Thank goodness none of them read my blog otherwise they wouldn't like being called biatches. Feminist PhD Professors, heh.   I got a plain vanilla Sierra 1500 Regular Cab. I almost got this extended cab thing with all kinds of bells and whistles, but I thought better and saved some cash.

The little red monster

What is the little red monster? That's a good question. While I seem to be at a point where I am not depressed as much, there seems to be something else emerging. Occasionally, the little red monster comes out to play. Anything can set it off like a hungry lion being unleashed. I guess one could say that I need to get it under control, because I'm just irritable, and that is not a good thing at all. What causes it? Well, sometimes people, like me, spend years being self-sacrificing. It takes an

Surreal

Hospital stay so far has been a mixed bag. Monday was pretty much a wasted day. I got here at 10AM, and other than small things like changing the dressing on my PICC line and drawing blood for testing, nothing happened until I started on Rituxan at 6PM. As with the last two time, a little over an hour in, I started getting chills/rigor. At least this time, it was much milder - still scary at the time, still chattered teeth a bit but was handled a lot faster and I had more control over my bod

Crash and Burn followed by Yummy Food :)

Sunday pretty much sucked big time when I accidentally deleted a partition on my laptop containing all of my music and videos (ARGH!!!!) and spent most of the day re-downloading the music that I lost (and I'll work on videos at a different time).   But as abysmal as that was on Sunday, yesterday was incredible. I hung out with Matt after I got out of class and we watched TV and talked about everything at his place. Once dinner time came around, we went to the Cheesecake Factory and the food wa

5 questions...

I've been exposed to poetry lately. Not that I am uncultured, or anything. I just don't regularly partake of the stuff. Anyhow a few have caught my eye, and you guys should look into them if you get the chance.   To an Athlete Dying Young - A.E. Housman (I'm probably going to buy a book of his poetry, I enjoyed this poem so much) Piazza Piece - John Crowe Ransom Not Waving but Drowning - Stevie Smith   The last poem was discussed recently.

I have to wait a week...

Now, I know that the main test is more accurate, but I have to wait a week before I know my HIV status. I'm still nervous about it. I just wanted to know today, because I wanted peace of mine. I just have to be patient, which is difficult for me. This is my life I'm talking about. The contents of a vile hold the key, and it takes a week to know my fate. I shouldn't bitch about it, but I can't help myself.

Bicycle Lights

Tonight was my last night at work. It was the last night i would ever have to make that three mile ride through near pitch-black dark. I was going to ride on the far side of SR 70 since the side i normally ride on is having some work done on it in some places.   However, yesterday I learned that despite my mom's request to have the 22nd off was not just granted, it was also forgotten and she got scheduled anyway. What this means to me is I have to be up at 8:30 am on wednesday to get the uhaul

There all along

So a week ago last Friday I was looking high and low for my packet of scan-tron sheets. For those of you not in the know a scan-tron sheet is an answer sheet for tests and such. Anyhow I had a test in my beloved history class that Friday and the bookstore being conscious of the needs of its students decided to close at 1:00 pm. I didn't get off work until 3:00pm. Anyhow I spent two hours looking high and low for these answer sheets so I could take the test. I looked for them everywhere, but cou

One more dawn, one more day... One Day More!

Tomorrow morn, I'll hear from the hospital on when they want me to come in. So - heh - one last day of freedom before four days of confinement   I've been getting ready - since this chemo treatment will be more intense, hair loss is pretty much guaranteed. Everyone's been telling me to get my hair cut short in advance so when clumps go missing, it doesn't look as bad - so I did. Here is the new shorter haircut.   They've also been telling me I should get a hat. Now, I've NEVER been
