Had a funny AIM conversation with Brad at work … thought I’d share:

Brad: wtf, it’s showing your name as “how’ “
Brad: lol
Me: wtf?
Me: lol
Brad: not kidding
Brad: Brad: wtf, it’s showing your name as “how’ “
Brad: lol
how’: wtf?
how’: lol
Brad: not kidding
Brad: yeah
Brad: wierd
Brad: heh
Me: haha no idea why it’s doing that
Brad: me either

Brad: haha, wtf, it even lists you as “how’ ” in the contact list
Me: lol hopefully it’ll be back to normal tonight
Brad: maybe i’ll have to just saying “sup how’?
Brad: oh, there we go
Brad: i think i fixed it?
Me: that’s good?
Brad: huh?
Me: so you did fix it?
Brad: I don’t know
Brad: keep iming me for a min
Me: okay
Brad: again?
Brad: (one word is fine)
Me: blah
Brad: and again/

Brad: yes
Brad: are you on trillian?
Me: that’s the funniest thing ever … no i’m on AIM at work (on a mac)
Brad: ah
Brad: when you’re on trillian – right click someone’s name and then you can “rename” that contact
Brad: lol
Brad: i just found out

Yeah, new layout. I was pretty tired of the white and baby blue, especially since everyone and their mother is doing it (blue is supposed to be calming to web users). The lyrics above are from one of my favorite songs, “Seven Lives” by In Strict Confidence. It’s also my first time using no header images and trying out the fire effect (surprisingly), which I learned from Martinity.com. Oh, and don’t worry: the color of the smilies will match the rest of the layout later … now it’s time for sleep.

And haha … The Llama Song (courtesy Brad of course) is silly … but very amusing to someone like me

Wow, I just spent like three hours talking to Brad about everything from car engines to relationship problems. And it was nice … I wish I could do that with all my friends. Speaking of “friends,” my big decision of the moment has to do with Shayne — this weekend has brought to light many things I’ve tried to forget, and I’m starting to have a weird feeling that maybe going out with him was a mistake. Of course I feel bad, ’cause I hate intentionally hurting people after they’ve gone through hell, even if it is for the best *sigh* It’s obvious I can’t have three guys at once … just dunno what to do … Brad and Neyousha aren’t doing that great … Shayne’s glad to have someone who has so much in common with him … and Brian basically needs me more than anything. Is the “winner” in any way apparent to you? I didn’t think so … blah.

Okay, dinner was huge, and I’m still full … like 6 hours later, lol. I got a cheeseburger (with fries, a pickle, and vanilla Coke) from Dank’s, and it was really good … just don’t think I’ll need to eat at all tomorrow. Which kinda sucks, ’cause there’s served lunch, but I’ll probably just have cereal or something. Yeah.

I stopped by the college office today to tell them about Madison, and also to set up an appt. to have my graduation dress approved. So yay for that. I also checked the yearbook folder for semi-formal pictures, but I couldn’t find any. Hopefully tomorrow in class will be different.

Umm … somehow I read the 60 pages for English tomorrow during study hall, as well as doing probability/statistics and anatomy. OMG, and the circulatory system lab is like 100000 frickin’ pages long. I was like crap … so far I’ve done about two sections, and it isn’t due ’til May 2, but still. Crap, and speaking of deadlines, I have a philosophy paper due April 28 that he hasn’t talked to us about yet. Typical. But oh well, I can come up with 3 pages of BS. Not hard for philosophy … the problem is finding the time and motivation. Also gotta work on my bibliography for English, there’s another anatomy “quiz” on Friday (wtf?) … and probably something else that I can’t remember right now. Grr. School needs to end.

Had yoga today, which went well. Natalie’s joined the class, and she told me I was really good at it … and I was like um no, lol, but thanks Gotta ask the teacher if she teaches anywhere besides here (’cause I wanna keep doing yoga during the summer) … and also ask the health center if there’s a close place to get a physical for Madison. ‘Cause my current doctor’s building closed, and it’d be hard for my dad to find a new doctor and set up an appt. before June 2 (the health form deadline) … so hopefully they’d be able to help me out. Just not Dr. Griffith, lol.

Oh yeah, and semi. It was awesome. First off, I finally had the luxury of not being cheated on (*coughBradcough*) ’cause Brian’s nice like that. All my friends and teachers got to meet Brian, I think they liked him (Ms. McKibben definitely did, she told me today), and people kept telling us we looked great — I just hope the pictures come out the same, lol. And even though the music and noise level sucked, we got a dance in, so yay. Something good to end the year with

Anyway, gonna go surf randomly and wait for Brian to get online (or lack thereof) … and then call it a night around 12:30. Adios!

Yay now there’s actually some sort of an agenda for NY. Awesome. Gonna be a good trip.

Umm today … was interesting. Got up around 10, went to the gym around 12 (with my own key!), went with Brian to the diner (I got a turkey club), his office (we played ping-pong and got free Coke), Galyan’s (went rock-climbing), Kohl’s (he got jeans), his house (watched the first Back to the Future movie), Blockbuster (got Pretty Woman), Giant (got pizza materials and food), his house again (dinner and a movie), and then he drove me home. And now I’m here online even though I should be in bed ’cause I gotta drive him to work tomorrow (his car will be in the shop). But I’m not too worried — I’ve had 4 am nights and been fine at 7, lol *shrugs* Blah I’m so full from dinner … but oh well. Grr and Brad wants me to read some paper of his … so adios. Talk to everyone later.

So the technology people finally sent an email around saying why the net’s always screwed up — it’s not the firewall, it’s frickin’ Verizon doing work on their system or whatever. Blah. I hope they finish soon, and I know Mrs. Gamboa and Mrs. Blue are pissed at them for it. They also want me to bring in my laptop so they can look at connection settings. Speaking of which, I gotta get my modem fixed. Should probably do that over break.

My lesson today sucked. I’m like so out of it today … I keep forgetting stuff. Like I messed up the course during my lesson and just didn’t ride that well (and was a little late ’cause Sherman wasn’t tacked up), and then I forgot about the dorm meeting tonight. I don’t think I forgot to do any of my work yet, which is good. I also managed to take a nap today and finish all my work except architecture (no one has anyway) … so yay. I think. Haha, and Erica’s quiz is hilarious. Oh yeah, and guess what? I got a 95 on my English paper — yay! That’s the highest I’ve gotten in like, ever. But he’s an easy grader, and the paper was easy … so yeah.

And Brad’s getting a new car (a ’94 Ford Probe GT). Weird. Then why’d he do all the work on the Tempo? Oh well. It’s his money, not mine. LOL. Gotta give him back his Disturbed CD, too.

3 more days! And the Thanksgiving banquet’s tomorrow — wonder how that’s gonna go, especially with Mrs. Leip’s senior poem or whatever. I hope the food’s good … and it better not last more than 2 or 3 hours. Ah well. Anyway, I’m going to bed soon. Not much to do online except talk to Brad, and he’s not talking, so yeah. Bye!

OMG, the library is so fuckin’ hot! It wasn’t like this before, was it? And I’m pissed, the internet has been down all day — I hate it when this happens — I gotta talk to people! *sigh* I hope it’s up by 9:45 … ’cause I’ve been doing work all day for lack of anything better to do, and I really don’t wanna have to continue that routine after study hall. Which is the time when Brad and Brian are usually on. Who are the two people I need to talk to most. Grr. Stupid technology. It’s so nice when things stop working right when you need them to the most.

Speaking of which … last year is happening all over again, to state it simply. Okay, so I spend all of Friday night with Brad since I’m not there when Erica calls. At first I was just going to see his car (which does look cool) and have him make me a techno CD, but that little bit of time turns into a lot when we’re in his car waiting for his mom and he asks me if I’d like to have dinner with him and Jai. I’m like okay, why not — Erica probably won’t be done ’til after then anyway. So we pass a couple hours by playing around on his computer, then we pick up Jai, have Chinese (of course) at Dulles Town Center, and buy some DVDs at Suncoast. Then we go to Jai’s crazy technical house and watch Mallrats. Which was cool. The only thing that wasn’t cool was it raining all night, haha. It was so freakin’ cold — and it had to be the night I didn’t think to bring anything more than a sweatshirt. But oh well. I survived. So yeah.

Woah I just wrote a lot, and I should be doing my Spanish now, but screw that. Umm, what else … Saturday I spent half the day at school for Parents’ Weekend crap, then see Jackass (interesting movie — I will never eat another snowcone) with Brian and Erica (which Brad says he invited me to see with him, but I vaguely remember … oh well … Ash says he also invited her, but she was like um no … I’m … grounded … *coughBScough*). Sarah was supposed to come too, but she had to have dinner in Middleburg at the last minute, so again it didn’t work out. As for impressions, Erica doesn’t really like Brian … but hey, she hasn’t liked any of my guys, so who knows. Umm … what else. Yeah, Brian gets pissed about me seeing Brad, which isn’t surprising.

And okay, I’m getting hot again and my eyes feel weird, so I’m gonna go now and post more later … adios.

Geez, I haven’t even gotten to the part that’s like last year. Blah. Too much typing. And fuck, this couch is really short. Ooh, and the Tekno CD rocks.

Okay, I’m about to freakin’ shoot somebody. Necesito el internet! *is pissed* LOL.

Okay, I’m back, and it’s still fuckin’ hot and the net is still down. WTF. I mean, are Mrs. Gamboa and Mrs. Blue really that busy? Geez. They should teach me how to fix stuff like this so everyone doesn’t have to wait around for them. Blah … and I don’t feel like typing a big long thing … so basically I’m stuck — again — between two guys. Brian and Brad. I have to choose one, and of course each one has their own pros and cons *cries* This sucks. If only Brad hadn’t broken up with me the first time way back when.
