ping pong

yo yo yo.
Okay I'm posting! So much has happened I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll start with the least recent.
Leaving Maryland sometime in late August was pretty weird. My family (consisting of my mother, my stepfather, my shithead schnauzer puppy, and little shitzu) and I packed into two cars filled to the brim with luggage and other shit, and drove into the sunset. We made our way down the coast through Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama in about ten days. The driving wasn't too bad and we got to see some pretty country. I was suprised that the terrain didn't change too much until we finally got to Louisiana. It was pretty surreal when at our hotel, we heard evacuees talking amongst themselves about their hardships. Where we were staying wasn't damaged so it felt almost unreal that only miles away people were still without food, water and electricity.

When we finally made it to Texas we had to continue to stay in a hotel because our furnished temp apartment wasn't ready yet, which sucked because all I wanted to do was have my own space again. On many occasions I threated "to cut" my mom if she didn't leave me alone. I had a shank ready and everything. Ha, but it all worked out and we've been in the apartment for little over a week.

What I truly learned from the trip and all the time I spent with my parents was that it's high time I move my ass out of the house. Dear lord. Anyway as soon as I get residency I'll probably apply to school down here and get that whole college experience thing I've been missing out on. But that's a whole other entry, and this is boring enough. woooot.

Damn it's been a month since I've posted! Let's see... my life has consisted of going to work, and well I can't really remember anything else. But the past two weeks have been sick. Let's recap, shall we? I guess two weekends (maybe three) ago I spent three nonstop days with my friend Katie. We just fucked around mostly and had a good time. Ah yes, then I house/pet sat for a friend who was away for about ten days. I watched her silkie terrier Max, and her cat, Alex. Alex was the most badass cat ever. And Max, well, let's just say he's cute. But seriously that dog was retarded sometimes; he liked to chase large vehicles Ie: Fed Ex, and there were a few times I thought that little bitch was going to get ran over. That would have been wonderful.

Anyway while I house sat I had a few people over for dinner and hot tubbing and the works. I worked a lot and the rest of my time consisted of taking the dog for walks. The only thing that truly pissed me off about that experience was the pay. I got payed only 80 fucking bucks to live at someone's house and do a bunch of bullshit for ten days. less than ten bucks a day. i almost shit. But what are ya gonna do? Anyway last weekend I went to a club in Baltimore and shook it until i mangled my feet up nice, stayed in B More at a friend's.

Then off to Horrorfind the next day! That was pretty much fun meeting everyone, hassling and getting hassled and the works. I got to meet Felissa Rose from Sleepaway camp and she was nice as shit. gave me a hook up if you really want to know. God too much to spill in one entry. But the next night was the shit. I worked 7 to 4p and then went to the Mars Volta/System of a Down concert. To tell you the truth I went solely for Mars Volta, but System put on a good show. Those bitches played so many songs it was incredible. Anyway I'm moving to Texas in like a little more than a week so I need to do a lot of shit before i go. Apparently we're taking our time and driving down the coast, so it'll be a mini vacation of sorts. I'm all about that. Anyway I'll be sure to post more and even perhaps stay on a single topic.

questions from the mack himself hooohahhhahahahwahlkeljalksdjflkajd! ps nobody ask me.

1. If you move who, besides me, are you going to miss most?
I guess Katie, Will and Gwynne, they've been my best buddies throughout my time here. Wait, strike that, reverse it, noone.

2. You used to work at a coffeeshop. What type of customer did you hate most?
Ones that used to stand at the bar or counter and just talk about a bunch of bullshit that I didn't care about for long periods of time. Usually, I couldn't hear what they were saying over the machine anyway, so I had to nod along as if I did- which was worse.

3. If it gets hot in here, will you take off all your clothes? What if Gramps was waiting with his camera?
Yes, and yes.

4. If you could take one crime that is curently not punishable by death and make it punishable by death, what crime would it be? You may include any crime you want, such as driving in the left lane, but not passing. This is also assuming you believe in capital punishment. If you don't, this question sucks.
Well, you're right about one thing...but I'd have to say when people are driving behind you when merging onto a freeway and they drive up beside you in one lane because you're going the speed limit. It makes me want to bash their heads in.

5. In some interviews, prison inmates have claimed that prison sex is not gay sex because they are doing what they have to do. That said, have you ever had prison sex? Ever wanted to?
No, not yet. I think I need to have gorilla sex first and then move on to prison se...oh...wait...that means ass sex doesn't it? damn you, scuba steve!

who gives a fuggit?

So I don't think I mentioned this yet, but my stepdad IS going down to Texas in a few days for an in-person interview. I was told earlier that if they went through the trouble to have him fly down he's probably got the job. So let's just run through the changes I'll have to go through, because I'm a freak and I have to anticipate everything or I'll combust. Okay:
1. driving my car cross-country..which will be cool except it's with my parents.
2.new home, duh
3. new roads and driving...wreck #3?
4. community college to get used to
5. job
6. and last but not least: social life. not like i have one now, but i'll be even more socially destitute. Wahh wahh.

Today my pal and I are going to see Devil's Rejects for the not first, but second time! hahaha suckers! I did really enjoy it the first time but my mood was greatly dampered by my friend being kind of a moody bitch. I should have figured it wouldn't have been her type of flick, but she liked a lot of other horror movies, so I just didn't really anticipate her hating it. But she is into all that's Indy, so...unless it's a movie made by wes anderson it might not fly. ha. Oh, being a trainee has it's definite advantages. Because I'm always "shadowing" someone on my shifts I can get away with murder. such as: changing my shift from 3-12a to 7-4p so I can go to a movie tonight. ahahhahah suckers! so awesome. anyway, blah blah.

Insomnia

The answer's always waiting for me at the liquor store.
I"m listening to 40 oz to freedom by sublime. it's past two and i have to work at 7 but I can't sleep. I've been trying for a while but decided to do something productive rather than just lying in bed. So here I am lying in bed... listening to music, burning cds, and writing a blog. productive....
Horrible news today. Bombings in London. I'm sure as the world suffers and weeps Bushy is happier than a pig in shit. These attacks means he will surely gain the support for the war that he was losing within the past half year. It also means he gains the support needed abroad. It means he will never back down to those who want a date of when we will pull out of Iraq. We're there to stay. Knowing that makes me wonder about my career options. I think I'll become a missionary. There's a pretty high need for those now. I'm so bitter about the whole thing. I hope my thoughts are coherant because they're just flowing and dribbling through my fingers. We are a nation run by right wing christian fanatics. we will spread "democracy" and religion, along with our capitalist way of life. I can't wait until the world becomes one big fucking supermarket and suburb. wait!! I just yawned! good time to end this retarded update. Peace. pun intended.

The other day I hit a car. Dear Lord why?
Don't you like it when bad things happen right after the other? First I go to Arizona, which in itself is good, except for the fact that I spent a lot of money. I get back and my alternator dies. Awesome. 400 bucks down the drain. I hit someone. As far as I could tell I didn't do any damage to his car except for a crack in his bumper. but my car on the other hand has a nice bent hood, fucked up left turn signal, and oh! I went to go to the bank this morning....and the fucking thing wouldnt start! What the fuck?! If it's my alternator I"m going to flip the fuck out on those fuckers that fixed it.400 dollars and a week later it's fucked again? Kill myself.

Any good news? Well, some bitter sweet, anyway. I've lived in Maryland for two years going on three. Moved here from Arizona with (as well as my parents), high hopes and expectations. Needless to say the state fell a little short. I'm actually pretty okay here. Except for the fact that I'm always homesick...I mean I have friends here but it's obviously not the same. And I hate the fucking winters here. Bitter ass cold. Blech. It's actually my mother that's really unhappy here. And not for good reason. All she's been doing the last two years is fixing up two houses. She's really lonely and is upset that she can't finish school here (something with the university and not transfering credits).
So for the past half year, maybe, my stepdad has been putting in applications within the government in states like California, Texas, and think Florida. Well, he got a call from Texas and had his interview. He said it went very well, and that was only reinforced by further calls with them asking for updated phone numbers for his old bosses. So basically, he says, since they are going through all of the trouble of getting his sources, they're really interested. The next step is for him to go down for an actual interview which is only a technicality (sp), as in he's hired.
So if he get's hired we'd probably be leaving at the end of August. I have mixed feelings about this.
1. I'm happy to be going back to the part of the country where I feel more at home, which is also a LOT closer to my friends and family, and where I"ll be going to school.

2. I hate change. After moving so much one would think that I'd be used to it by now. I guess it's not a big deal. I'm older now, and when I get there I'll just go to school and get a job and meet people that way. Most of my friends now I didn't meet in highschool anway so I"m not missing anything there. I am going to miss people here. A LOT.

Even though it's not gauranteed, I feel really uneasy. Damnit. *wonders how I'm going to get to work today* FUCK!

Another day waking up at 1pm. Even on days that I do'nt have to work until 3am I'll sit in bed...doing nothing...and stay awake until 4a anyway so that I don't have to wake up until 1p. It's a vicious cycle.

I dreamt about work last night. I HATE THAT! I'm training so my brain is constantly being poked and prodded with new information so that even when i'm in the confines of my own room the vet hospital still affects me. I also had another strange dream that I took these crazy drugs and went running around an airport looking for a red backpack. Just goes to show ya.

I have the choice of working the 4th of July. I'm told it would be a good move because:
1. Not busy, so I'd be cleaning, stocking etc.
2. DOUBLE PAY
I'm trying to start drinking fairly early so I'm not sure how much time I'll actually have for work. but double pay makes my mouth water so we'll see.

So last night I trained with that same girl, her name is Sam. (the ren fest fatty) and I only call her that because that's what she is. and she pisses me off. So a few days ago I get this notice in my work mailbox that says all shadow trainees must stay with their trainers at all times. So I get there last night, find Sam and that bitch pulls some shit. She does this thing where she's walking away without telling me what she's doing and then turns around and in the most annoying obnoxious way waves me over saying "coooommmmme on, Tressa." And also she says "I dont' really like people up my butt, so feel free to just go do whatever." Excuse me? YOU'RE A FUCKING SHADOW TRAINER!!! having someone up your huge anus is the job description...so I don't know what to tell ya. I got lucky with one of my managers being there so I convinced her to have a training session with me. so that knocked out the last 3 hours of my shift with dumb bitch. But good news, though....I have her as my shadow trainer for like four days in a row coming up!! MOTHER FUCKER. shotgun and a shovel. stupid snide rat. Yes, this is ultimate bitching. Expect much more.

Tomorrow is Land of the Dead and I want to cry. It's going to be amazing and I've been waiting for ever so long! teehee. I'll probably write an analysis of it in here or something. I'm not what do you say- fanboi...but I really do like the way Romero puts a lot of humanity into his movies. He's a thinker, see, and as a thinker I can appreciate his thinking. anyway I'll just stop on that while i'm only a little behind. This update is officially closed.
