Disregard the post that was here, if you saw it.  I was mistaken; mother outright did not say anything close to what she meant, and so there was miscommunication.  If you're not sure what this is about, don't worry bout it.

Happy birthday to me, motherfuckers. :~)

Alright.  It's the question that's been on everyone's minds since last fall.  No, not "are we really going to have a Dick for a governor?"  I'm talking about more important things.  I'm talking...about figuring out when we're going to RenFest.  So, I am herein posting my known schedule of events for late August, and it'd be great if y'all would comment yours back, or post it, so that we can start some coordination.  Now, I realize that, due to some intragroup "stuff," two trips are probably in order.  W/e people...post schedules, and let's figure this shit out.

Me, August: Possibly weekend work to make up for lack in July due to boss' new kid (not here yet, expected on the 4th), but given notice, all should be well.  Also, the work is only on Sundays (at least at this point), so I still have all my August Saturdays, except the 5th, free.

K, people.  I wanna see some POSTS.

"Today is the summer solstice; the longest day of the year.  But what really matters is, how thick is it?"

Thank you, thank you, I love you so much, thank you Stephen Colbert.

Additional note.  Last night I derived the mathematical formula for determining the amount less than three that you      someone.   To show great affection, you >2.9 them, to any place.  To show little affection, >0 them, or even <1 them.  And finally, to show outright dislike, >sq.rt.-1 them, or any derivative thereof.  To show specific distaste, one can also use <0, however this is not nearly as unnecessarily complex, and should be avoided at most costs ($3.59 on double-coupon day is alright, though).

Well, as most of you know, I have a goofy marketing job with Mosaic. However...as of 6:41 EST this morning, I HAVE A REAL JOB! I now work at computer assistant at the Clinton-Macomb Public Library, and that means several things: 1) I have a job at a library, 2) I have a job as a techno-dweeb, 3) I GET TO QUIT FUCKING NINO SALVAGGIO! 4) I can probably visit CMU real soon. Like real soon. We'll see. I think this Saturday, Fri night to Sun morning. Keep your calendars free people (even you Des, you Sunday morning church-goin
woman). And then Indiana at a later point, but again, we'll see. W00T! It's 7:15 am, I'm not a morning person, and I am SO fucking wide awake. Zip-a-dee-do-da...*whistles off, strutting*

So since you all probably won't read this all, here's something immediately relevant: Next Saturday (the 10th) I'm having a going away/graduation party.  Here, at the apt.  Sometime, probably evening.  BYOBM (BYOBMoney, if'n you're a tad young).  It'll be relaxed and we'll probably watch a movie 'n stuff.  Basically it's me hanging out with you guys for the last time (all together) for a while.

In other news, I pulled a U-Turn on Washington to drop off Jessie and Eva tonight, and, though it's legal, and I signaled and slowed first, I (that being me, myself, the guy with no car insurance) got tailed by the campus police (that being they, the Man, people who can give tickets and check insurance) for the first 2 blocks on my way home.  They didn't turn on their lights, just tailed real close.  I hate twits.  So that sucked, but it was a good evening, 'cause after skipping class to go to dinner with them and Kevin, we all chilled in Missy's room with her and Austin before heading back to my place for cookies (and then to Meijer for deodorant and orange cauliflower) and then Harry Potter IV.  Thanksgiving was okay.  I spent it at Des', and her family's cool, and she's cool, but it just wasn't all that amazing (it was probably about equal compared to me spending it alone here, but I still <3 Des, and, though I suppose that sounded ungrateful, I'm not, so *hugs* to you, hon.  Plus you just invited me to Narnia, which is bitchin!

So I never did rewrite that old post, and I won't this time, either.  However, I can kinda sum things up and add new bits.  And just bitch.  Kso...basically, it goes like this:

1) I'm graduating...in 2 weeks, 1 day. *whimpers*
2) I've got a concert on Sunday, mom's coming, I've been packing/losing my goddamned mind, it's just all fucking crazy.
3) I've got papers and finals (papers, or easy multiple choice tests), and they're gonna suck HARD.
4) I am...well, frankly, scared to leave.  I don't want to.  I'm going to miss people soooo much.  Thank goodness for AIM, but still... *tear*
5) I miss my Sarah lotsnlots, and with her phone broken, and her never online and her working all the time...well...I miss her.   :'(
6) I am about to go home and have to reorganize my shit, deal with my mother, work a shitty, shitty job for at least a few months until I find something else, and be at home for likely no less than a year.
7) I'm going to miss you guys.
8) I don't wanna go.
9) I'm going to miss you guys.
10) I don't wanna go.
11)*sob*
12) I <3 you all.
13) Life sucks a nut.
14) Send me a wish list of stuff that you guys want (each of you) for presents for the holidays.  By presents, I mean stuff that I can reasonably pirate for you...music, movies, software.  Don't make them real short, in case I can't get something, but do rank them by preference.  :)

...

15) Sleep is good.

Lessee, what's new. Well, I did in fact go to Western on the 24th and 25th, after a run downstate to give mother some money to shut her up. It was awesome to see Sarah, but not exactly thrillingly fun. Lemme 'splain. So we got there (I went with Missy) in the late late evening. Seeing Sarah was quite nice, but it was late, so after a brief appearance at a pool hall where some of her friends were, we mostly went to bed (except for installing more memory and Windows XP on her old machine...yes, she wanted me to! Stop looking at me like that, people!). Next day we went to the Pagan Pride Festival, which was in Arcadia Festival Park in Kazoo. It was basically vendors, but there were a couple of things, like a small informative booth on Wicca. We bounced from vendor to vendor, though it was mostly me being the bouncy one. They had lots of bumper stickers. :-D I bought lots of bumper stickers. :-D :-D. Meanwhile, when we walked in, we got raffle tickets, and, to my surprise, I won. Not only did I win, but I won the very first drawn ticket (they had a bunch of stuff). I picked up a staff, but then changed my mind, and grabbed a shawl. It's pretty. It reminds me of my blankie from when I was a kid. And I met the woman who made it, and she said she put peace and hope into it when she was making it, which is just awesome. So then we wandered around, and I bought bumper stickers. If you haven't seen them, you should. I also bought 10 feminist buttons for $1 for my Feminist Theory class, and a walking stick which rules all. It grew with a vine choking it to death, which isn't wonderful, but means it has a natural spiral pattern to the shaft, which I subsequently burned in and sealed. Then we dashed out and headed to grab a sister of hers (SAI sis), then dashed back to her place and we changed to volunteer for the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra boosters group. They had their annual fundraising auction, and we were there to make sure that nice rich people didn't steal the nice valuable stuff. But anyhow, that was dull as dirt, and we got lost on the way (which might have been my fault, though I happen to think the directions sucked, and we weren't the only ones to get lost, so not a word from you Missy. Regardless, that made the both of us (that is, Sarah and I...since I didn't mention it, before going to Sarah's, I dropped Missy @ Nikki's house, where I said hi to her and Ashley, which was nice...anyhow, back to the story)...but when the event ended and we were all done (about 11pm...4.5 hours later, ugh), we went home...then the toilet decided to back up...which sucked, and stuff, and then it took 45 minutes for her roommate and her bf to go get a plunger (they didn't have one...something which I happen to think is silly, but understand...now they do...this is a good thing...). At that point, it was time for bed, so to bed we went. The next day, we got up nice and early and drove down to meet her parents about a half hour away for lunch, and her sis was there, too, so I met the whole family. It was nice, but we had to dash, since Sarah had a Phobia meeting (she works at Phobia House, a haunted house in the city). So we went, and it was cool, but her ex was being childish. He wouldn't talk to or look at me. This is moderately understandable. However, he wouldn't talk to or look at Sarah either, which is just ridiculous. He disappeared shortly, however, and so that was a nonissue for a while. We then went back to her place, found her ex there (he's friends with her roomie) and decided (with prodding from Missy) to go see Corpse Bride. So we saw that, then hit Steak and Shake with everyone (Missy, Ashley, her beau, and Nix). From there, we made a quick trip back to Nikki's so Missy could get her stuff, and I installed Treasure Mountain on Nikki's PC (yeah, greatest shit ever!), and then we drove back. The ensuing week was pretty crappy, but it went. The upside was of course that my PC came just before we went to K-zoo, so I put it together and set it up over the next couple days. Unfortunately, one of my sticks of memory had gone bad between my old machine and this one, so I sent it in for a replacement (I love warrantees), but 2 days later, my data HD (all 12 GB of it) went 'blooie, so that sucked ASS, so I immediately started downloading the stuff I lost on it. I'm currently about a week or so away from getting everything back. It's kinda ridiculous, but eh. Anyhow, I've been reading a good deal of Pratchett, and he rocks. I'm only 5 books from having read all of Discworld, which is sad, and means I'll have to read something else soon. Like his other 5 books. And then something else, but dunno what, yet. However, in other news, the past couple weeks have been kinda poopy, just 'cause, and not 'cause of people. They just have. *shrug* life's a bitch sometimes. Weekends were okay. 2 weeks ago, Desiree and I watched some Monty Python's Flying Circus, Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors, some Fraggle Rock, and the Die Hard Trilogy, and I made fajitas. This weekend, I made mint chocolate fudge, and we watched American Beauty, and then I made venison burgers. School is getting boring, but I'm gonna miss everyone so much. It's gonna suck graduating. But whatever. The week is almost half-over, and this Fri-Sat, I'm going to Des' house to pick pumpkins and stuff (her birthday was last week; we went to the cider mill, and got cider and doughnuts...was good times), and then Diana is coming up and we're all gonna hang out some, and she can finally pick up her stuff (which is not a big deal, but which has been here for quite some time. The whole 20 gal aquarium is not all that useful at the moment. But now, I am back to talking to my Sarah. Who is awesome. Yay Sarah. :-D
