It was raining all day, so when I went out to eat, I got pretty wet. But now I'm dry again, noding behind my computer. I'm about to go to sleep once again. Tomorrow will be another day. I wonder why the button on the right is now submit and not sumbit.
Happy Birthday, Everything2 !!!
It's an amazing feeling, my node not only has been C!'d, but it has a reputation of 11. When I checked the status of the node after I got up I had a warm, fuzzy sensation that made me wanna get out and node every blinkin' thing i could think of.
I guess that's sorta ironic since the node I'm talking about is called: All I want is to be able to vote on other nodes. It was pretty much a rebuttle to all the li'l Uncle Sam Want's You (to node)! nodes out there. Don't get me wrong, it's all good advice, it's just not for me.
Or at least, it wasn't. Who knows? I might just get addicted now.
Today is also an important anniversary in the world of Everything2... That's right. One year ago today, November 13, 1999, was the day that I created my first node: redwoods. Looking back at it, it doesn't seem at all like something I'd write. I mean, I never use the term "big-arse" anymore, it just seems too childish.
Oh well..."Be Childish, Never Be Immature" ~ me
Oh yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems a year ago today the creation of Everything2 began. Who'da thunkit?
Happy Birthday Everything2!!!
I had gone to bed at some insane hour yesterday, and ended up getting thirteen hours of sleep after waking up at nine this morning. Ate some pancakes, filled the eleven holes in my ears with bits of metal, swallowed six pills at once, and ran out the door to work after filling my purse with feminine necessities (I woke up this morning with an unwelcome early visitor).
While driving to Pfaltzgraff this morning, I saw an obese woman standing at the corner of Lakewood and 168th, right in front of Lakewood Elementary School, wearing nothing besides a black leather coat and dirty Tweety Bird slippers. That was probably the last thing I would have expected to see in Holland.
Work went quickly. Nothing extraordinary happened. There was one couple who came in and spent well over $600 on the Naturewood pattern of dishes; ten minutes after they left, the couple returned and spent another $100 or so on flatware.
Closing was a chore as always. The deposit was miscounted several times, and nothing added up to what it was supposed to. We got out a half hour late because a five dollar bill had been misplaced. Right.
Aaron called when I got home. I told him I had to do homework, and the entire conversation was spent trying to rationalize why it was necessary for me to go. Every time I tried to saw "I love you, talk to you later, goodbye," something would come up. He had to tell me about band practice; I forgot to mention something of no consequence; the winner for Iron Chef was about to be announced and we needed moral support. Just the usual stuff. I looked at the timer on the phone when we finally hung up, and it said 32' exactly. How could we spend thirty two minutes saying goodbye?
I would also like to wish E2 a happy birthday. I feel so old . . .
This in itself is not news, and taken in context is to be expected. But to me, at this moment, it is overwhelmingly important, top of my list.
Tired.
What do I expect? The baby woke up at 6:30, I got up because after all, that's why I'm at my sister's house: to help with the kids. I stayed up, because everyone else was up and I couldn't get no peace.
I've been thinking too much lately, too many issues to focus on so instead I scan them all repeatedly, tiredly running through the outline. I need to stop. I need to get some rest, take off a week of work and focus on me. Short of the week's leave, I should unplug all the phones and tell my family I AM NOT AVAILABLE.
Aight. I think that's what I'll do.
I'm tired.
had an excellent evening of drinking and debauchery last night; got to spend time with the new smooching partner, which was fun. we ended up going back to her place for.... MAD, PASSIONATE SEX?? nope. MARIO PARTY and conversation. what a fun girl.
however, spent the day at work barely getting over the drinking. eating only a handful of dry cereal didn't help the post-drunken body, but some wendy's fixed me up good. plus prescription migraine drugs are sure good at getting rid of those pesky hangover headaches :)
sign the lease on my new apartment tomorrow.... woohoo! it's nice to have things out of the way. all i have to do now is accept the job at the benevolent corporation and I won't have to worry about anything but school for the rest of the year. very nice.
and now i'm listening to yo la tengo and finishing up some data structures. amen.
1.) My mother made chicken dumplings and invited me over for dinner. Whatever God may be, I thank God for that woman. 2.) I got to see my best friend from Highschool today. Marcus Vandrovec, friend tried and true. He has always been there for me when I needed him, but I had not seen him for about a year or so, so it was great to see him again.
All in all today was a pretty good day. I studied a lot, and got some good work around the house done, and managed to do some beer drinkin' with an old pard from 'the good ol' days". Wny can't all weekends be like this one. anm and his wife finished moving into their new house with the aid of my truck Friday, so I picked it back up from him today. I hate driving his GEO Tracker, it makes me feel like a dork (more than usual).
Well back to the dull drudgery of studying I suppose...
November 13th in history
Events:
Birthdays:
Well, this really applies to my sunday tho... day went well. it was my grandma's birthday, we went to Thalia's it's some semi-lame mexican food restraunt in the south valley (for albuquerque people... broadway and gibson to be exact). Had enchiladas, however that's spelled. Otherwise I've spent the rest of the day sitting around feeling kinda edgy. I've been pushing around ideas. 1. need my own place. I don't really wanna move out, but my family is driving me insane. 2. I have a bad feeling about these elections, and the state of our nation in terms of where it's loyalties lie. Starting to envision riots that will eventually turn into class wars, which will spin off into a civil war... west vs. east over things like race, morality, religion, and ideals. Anyways. Not quite sure what to make of it all. I wanna write a few nodes about this philosophy of mine, but I'm not sure how to go about it. See, I sit around a LOT and think. nothing more, just think. I'd like to commit my thoughts to E2, but they're far too important for daylogs... so maybe I'll write them, then index them with a seprate node. Then... where to start?
These can be answered later, I should get to bed. -doug
Oh fine, Happy Happy E2
I woke up this morning to the sound of one of my best friends on the phone with another friend of ours, making plans to go to breakfast. It was 11am. I didn't go to bed until 7. Needless to say, I wasn't very hungry but I was cranky enough for everybody at the table.
After breakfast, we went back to his house and I feel back asleep again, woke up, moved to a bed, feel asleep again. Woke up, stumbled into the computer room, stumbled back into bed and feel asleep again. i woke up about 6:30 this evening.
Then I went home, made dinner, talked with my siblings for a bit on the phone, and spent quality time with my dog. Pretty easy day. I'm trying to make them all similar to this one.
3 days til surgery
11 hours til my Russian oral quiz that I'm totally unprepared for
43 minutes before I start to cram for the same exam
Happy Birthday to Everything 2, by the way.
This is teenage angst at its best. It doesn't get any better than this.
Today is my mom's birthday. I have to be happy, an unlikely possibility.
But now that I think about it, I am. It could be worse.
I'm from Alabama, and I haven't seen anything this redneck, ever.
Finally, the guy arrives with the stuff, he is paid and we are free to leave. I understand why these people need drugs - I don't think I could live a week in these types of conditions, I would need to dumb myself down in order to even exist.

Bizarre that so many people already have daylogs when it's only 8am here...
Normally Mondays are like any other boring work day; nothing much happens and I can snooze until midday and my manager wakes up. Today, however, I have already cut my nose while shaving (How? I don't know), argued with my brother over pizza (why? I don't know) and prepared myself for a day of pain because my leg is reacting to the cold weather...
All this seems cancelled out, negated by the fact that I got a rather nice letter today from my fiancee (written before I proposed :-) This has cheered me up rather a lot, thanks Dana :-)
11:20 GMT
I'm rather glad that the worst thing that has happened so far is the insistence of my project leader that I use windows 2000 as our external web server...
At some point I will have to discuss my future plans with my general manager and project leader; they need to know what I am planning with regard to moving to the US. Of course the ideal situation would be for me to continue to work for Sony, just do it from the US via the net. Unfortunately, despite recent proclamations of their broadband and networking future, Sony is very backward when it comes to teleworking. 99% of my job could be accomplished from anywhere in the world that had a fast net connection, but of course my bosses don't see things that way. Which sucks, by the way.
15:35 GMT
Hum, why will openGL never work on my Linux box? Every time I attempt to install the drivers, GL will lock up the box. Every time. Arse.
Laters, dudes...
Happy bE2yrthdeayi...
The second studying period of the year started today.
Monday the 13th.
My Nokia 9110 decided to strike & riot today. AGAIN. No PDA. Nothing. (This has inspired me to think of Getting A Normal Cellphone + PalmPilot, but perharps not...) =(
My bicycle tire went flat when I was hurrying to the university. =( =(
The first course started at 8, and - you guessed it - it was titled "Principles of project work". Stuff that somehow manages to make me a bit drowsy. =( =( =(
There's a hell of a lot work (no other way to put it) involved with this period's excercises and assignments. =( =( =( =(
The rumor (our schedule) sez there's a course that started at 10 o'clock in L3. It's not in that room's schedule, however, and no one showed up anyway! Another course, however, starts there at noon, and I'm going there.
Regarding replies that some people insist on putting on the top of the message rather than to where they belong (after quoted text): If you have to whine about netiquette, you should at least try to defend your point of view thus:
"(naughty descriptive word) (Newsreader vendor) is (another, possibly naughtier word) because they haven't set up the 'followup' command to jump directly after the message, and I'm too (less naughty word) lazy to move the cursor myself! (Newsreader vendor) can (insulting description of vendor's self-destruction in three to six paragraphs)! And (even more naughty word) GNKSA can (insulting description of sexual activity that's probably banned in puritan-ruled areas), because they haven't made that a requirement! And Microsoft can (the highest imaginable insult imaginable to the sayer)(', Even if they didn't make this program.' if the user is using something other than OE.)"
(I wrote that for rec.games.roguelike.nethack.)
OK, I'll comment briefly of what happened in weekend...
In Kuhmo, I fixed the old machine of mine - well, Win95 still hangs when used, but I fixed that...
...by installing Debian 2.1. =)
I also bashed through a lot of stuff in the UML book and stuff.
Other day logs o' mine...
Noded today by y.t.: GNKSA Monday the 13th
We have finished performing Into the Woods for the last time. I feel incredibly depressed. I felt like someone close to me just died. Is this how it always feels when you finish a musical? *Sigh*
It's Year 9 Camp this week. I'm not going. I always have hated camps. I'm not really sure why. I'll write it up when I find out.
Mum is telling me to get off the computer, so I'll sumbit it and work on it later.
Good stuff today: Mandrake, OpenSSH2, You Only Live Twice, Asahi birru, friends, e2 (thanks nate and bones and the rest of you...)
I met her on Friday during my lunch break. The new girl in my life. Dressed in an electric blue suit, I was wondering how she would fit into my style: daggy. Eighteen years old and looking more mature,was it obvious who older?
Fears aside, she was offered the job today. She would be by myside all day, starting next week. The invasion of personal space will begin... her knee, my knee; her hand, my hand - a jostle for space in a finite area.
I will observe her work, like I observed the last girl, Lisa. I will depend on her, just as she will serve me. Maybe we can be friends too...
She is my new nurse.
And he was serious. Granted, I can understand why - I've been moody and/or drunk ever since my SO and I had that dreaded "talk"... but Jesus. I wish my pain wasn't so obvious to the real world.
Oh well...
oh, shit, i forgot to get a present... someone cover for me? please?
