| So I went to this Furry New Years "RoomCon 05'/06'", and I must say I really enjoyed myself... it was awesome.
Whitetail drove me in his 92' Firebird up to Berlin, New Jersey up to
Chronocoon's place around Friday night. Tigra and Tokala were
already there... all five of us cleaned up Chronocoon's place, talked,
socialized, etc. We tried to get to sleep around 4:00AM, but
Tokala and I couldn't... so him and I went into the kitchen and just
talked for a good 3 hours... about random shit. He was pretty
cool.
In the morning, we tidied up for a bit... at around 2:00PM, people
slowly started pouring in. One guy that I liked was Tsumino
Tora... I seemed to cling to him most of the time during the
party. Besides that... as people came, everyone just socialized,
played texas hold'em, music, TV, etc. There was a table full of
hard liquor... unnngh... and well, we played a few videogames as
well. We blew up shit (aka fireworks) in the backyard, went back
inside, drank, did stuff, etc. around 3:00AM... being dead tired,
I asked Tora if I could sleep at his place since everyone would be up
the whole night. So, I slept with Tora (no sex, *smirks*).
Waking up with Tora, we went back to Chrono's, decided to go out... we
decided on bowling... so I played pool with a fur named Spikerail and
then watched everyone bowl. Afterwards, we all went to the local
chinese buffet... (My my, the face on the resturant staff when a convoy
of 9+ cars driving all at once in the parking lot was just
priceless). Well, after stuffing myself rather fast... (Tora
payed for my meal! o.o Thanks again!), we went back to Chrono's,
said our goodbyes, and Whitetail and I went off.
On the drive back... around the toll to Delaware... Whitetail's
firebird overheated and we had to pull aside. Apparently he ran
out of coolant. I called AAA, and we tried to get some info about
some stuff. Thankfully, a family came by... offered help... but
we asked if they had any bottled water (NOTE: water and coolant are
practically the same thing, but coolant doesn't freeze... that's
IT). So, we filled up, went to the nearest truck stop, and
checked out the coolant line and such. We figured that the
resvoir was damaged somehow. Well, we got home safely... I came
home, went right to bed and slept until 2:00PM!
Aside from that? I'm looking for a new job... pfft... that's about it.
Thanks for reading.

| Well, my christmas break has been rather boring, but then again really
great within a 2 day period. Still need a new job, I need a new
"project", and the japanese has been going rather well.
I didn't get much for X-mas, just a few gift cards and some car
stuff. I got a Wal*Mart gift card... I think today I'm gonna get
some oil, a bottle of fuel injector, and perhaps I'll start playing
World of Warcraft again and get a time card?
So, you may or may not know but I'm madly in love with this guy named
Colin. I've met him over a PA-Furry mail list... and I've been
talking with him over AIM and the phone for about a year or so
now. Well, I also got a gas card, no work for the next few
days... so I decided to visit him. Colin lives in Media, PA
(about 2 and half hour drive! >.<). So, I arrived in Media,
PA... amazed at the town because it was a higher class town.
BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Aston Martins, etc. were common place at
people's large houses and mansions. "Holy shit" is what I said in
my mind when I got to his homestead. The place he lived in was
just so opulent... not to mention his family was great. I spent
the night with Colin (and oh my... was it a wonderful night) and half
the day with him the next day. Just... ugh... I love him so
much. He's just... so... far... away... When I was driving
home, I listened to the Oasis album "Be Here Now", and I started to cry
when listening to "Don't Go Away", thinking about him.*sighs*
Well, not much else... been working out like usual and hanging with my
friends. New Years Eve I'm heading over to Chronocoon's little
party at his place in New Jersey... that should be quite enjoyable.
Well, later today I'm gonna get to Amores with some friends, maybe set
up a WoW account and make a mage instead of a priest for a
change. *shrugs*
Thanks for reading, everyone.
I miss you, Colin. <3

| So I finally have these damn speakers in my car... and they're pretty
bombin'. So yeah, I'm pretty content now with my car.
I hardly have been doing anything this whole week. I've just been
working at Staples for 8 hour days. Ugh... I just want it to
stop. I'm tired of dealing with those dirty, dumb, and nasty
people. Though, yesterday wasn't so bad... but the other days
were terrible. Everday I was bitched at for something.
Let's go over a few things:
-A guy came in, saying his computer was old and had 256MB RAM... he
wanted to buy a new computer with 512MB. It took me a second to
realize "Wait, wouldn't you just want an upgrade? It'll be like
$50 compared to $600." They looked at my puzzled "You can do
that?" I nodded and showed them the ram, I even took off a
display computer's case and showed them what to do. They left,
quite happy with thier purchase. I saw my one manager Regina at
the corner of my eye... she evesdropped on the whole
conversation. She bitched at me for losing a $600 sale... dude,
whatever
-Some woman and her daughters came in looking for a laptop for this
girl for college... she wanted a wireless one... so I showed her ones
that were wireless and gave her a brief overview on how wi-fi
works. She asks me "Can I go anywhere with this and be
online?" I shoke my head and told her she can't unless she's in
range of a wireless access point (Panera Bread, her own home, someone
else's 802.11b/g router, etc.). She complained to me "Well, how
come truckers can go wireless anywhere?" I explained to her that
she can't go wireless 50 miles away from contact of civilization... you
need a WAP. She threw a fit, called me incompetent, and stormed
out of there. Later that evening she must've buckled down and
bought a laptop... because after closing the manager bitched at me for
not "complying with the customer". Dude, fuck... I can't bend
technology to her will.*
*Yes, I know there sorta is a way to get wireless anywhere... it's
called AirBus... but it's not very practical. And besides, since
it's going off your cellphone signal for internet... it's rather slow
and not to mention quite expensive and not practical for most people.
-Countless people bitching at me because I can't get the item they want
because it's out of stock, not in our store, nor in other Staples
stores, nor online. You should've bought it earlier... I can't do
much here.
-Customers will come in, they will want something... but they won't necessarily know what that something is! for instance:
"I need ink for my printer, but I don't know what printer it is"
"I need something to upgrade my computer with"
"I need that thing that makes my megabytes better" ??
"I need more RAM for my CD-Burner cuz' it's slow... I think"
"I need this little card for my camera... do you have one... oh I didn't bring it with me"
"I just bought a DSL service, what do I do now?"
"What should I buy my wife for christmas?"
Oh well... I'm gonna quit there soon.
Besides that? Everything is going fine... been working out like
normal. I noticed I can lift more in terms of weights, but I
haven't been noticing too much of a difference as in my body.
It's Christmas, and we're all in misery!

| It's been quite some time now, so I suppose I'll make another entry.
So last Tuesday I got into a fight with my father (omg angst).
Why? Because his girlfriend complained to him about how
"disrespectful" I am to her. Jigga what? Okay, I don't care
if he has girlfriends or whatever, but ones that bitch at me for
something I'm not aware of doing... yeah I'm pissed. First of
all, she used to be a pastor's wife... so yes, big church goer there on
her part. Though, I do admit she has her head on straight and
isn't stupid. But, I'm getting annoyed by the fruitless arguments
she sparks with me. I mean, it's not constantly provoked, but
she'll subtly get into one. For example:
Her: "Homosexuality isn't natural"
*I take off her glasses gently, not forcefully or anything*
Me: "There, glasses aren't natural. Your god didn't make them."
Her: "Well that's different... god gave us the free will and intelligence to make glasses and other things."
Me: "So apparently your god has given me the intelligence and free will
to pick and choose on what gender I wish to spend the rest of my life
with. Boy, he/she screwed up there."
Just... GAH!! And no matter what, my facts/positions never have
any validity or "truth" (even though dispite the fact I give them
websites and other sources). My father will usually just say:
Father: "You never had a girlfriend or had sex with them... so you're not gay"
Me: "That's bullshit... first of all, I had girlfriends... but the
relationships with them were never strong nor emotional when I was with
girls compared to when I was with guys. Also, your statement
contradicts itself. You never had sex with a girl, so how do you
know you're not gay?"
Just, dammit... another thing that really vexes me... she'll say
"You're straight, you're just in denile". ... I'll just keep it
that.
So, I have school off for the next 2 weeks... whoo. But Staples
is gonna screw that up and make me work a lot. Since they fired 2
people not too long ago... I have to work more hours and stuff.
Yeah, it's more money... but damn. Next week I work 42
hours. Gah?! Well, regardless... I gave them a day off
request paper saying I wanted off the 26th and the 27th for "I'm doing
stuff with my boyfriend" (exact words). I don't really have a
"boyfriend"... but I do love this one guy named Colin... and I'll spend
the 2 days with him. If they don't let me have off those days,
and if I feel sassy enough, I'll be all pissy and bitchy and be the bad
kind of gay and say that Staples is being homophobic.
My Japanese "teacher" called this morning... she canceled our lesson
today... *sighs*. I guess she was busy or she's sick. She
said in the message that she would call back and give me a new day.
Oh, my Maxima? The speakers are getting installed by a
professional at Aftermarket Autos as I type this. Eric couldn't
install them because the headunit didn't match (he could rewire) and we
found out the 6x9" speakers in the back were sodered/welded!
Gah?! Who does that? Stupid Nissan.
I love having porn on my Palm.
Thanks again for reading, everyone.

| Hello again. Not much has been going on I guess. Well, I guess I'll get started.
I think Tuesday or Wednesday I bought a set of 4 inch and a set of 6x9
inch Pioneer speakers for my Maxima ($115.00 total) along with a
headunit. That same day, I was like "Dammit, I'm bored".
Unlike me, I go out and buy a $80.00 Guitar Hero bundle. I come
home, play it, and just have a great time playing it. The game
has a great selection of songs (which I was quite impressed
with). But, as you may already know... I suck at guitar. My
expertise is piano... not guitar! But, I'm currently on the
bridge from hard to expert... but man, it's so tough.
So this weekend kinda really sucked. Last night Dick, Ross,
Chris, Matt and I went out to some Coffee House in Gettysburg. I
must admit, it was a quiant little shop... and I would so hang out
there a lot if it was in Hanover. We just talked in the upstairs
room, I read some arts magazine article, and just some other
stuff. We all went back to the diner... decided that we could go
to Pizza Hut to eat (we wanted pizza). Big mistake. Ugh...
that was just a bad idea. It didn't go well with any of us.
We all got a tad sick and just nausaus from the whole ordeal. But
still, I enjoyed myself.
So freakin' finally... today... I'm going to get these damn speakers installed. Sonavabitch!!
Oh, got a letter from ITT Tech... my grades... 3.82 GPA. Whoo...
EDIT: Oh jesus christ, Mike. The group I counted was the ones I
went to Pizza Hut with. The ones I went to the coffe house with
was Josh, Melonie, Bitsy, Mike, Steph(?), and I think that was
it. *huddles into a corner* Gah! Don't hurt me if I forgot
anyone! I'm terrible with names!
