Yea!...Access Granted!

Yea! I can finally get back onto this blog. For the longest time, it (being either my computer or my internet server) would not let me access it, thus I've been blogging on myspace. So, I started school, and it is everything that I was afraid of (well, maybe not everything, the instructors don't seem to be the raging savages that I was warned about), but anyway, I'm busier than I've ever been in my entire life, and I only have 10 credits. I've called into work the past 2 weeks, just so I would have time to study or go to open lab. But, I just have to keep pushing through. I only have 2 years. I do miss my free time. I miss my personal life. I miss watching TV, and I miss the paychecks that I used to get when I actually worked 40 hours. But enough of that. Ummm, what else interesting has happened? I got a flat tire Wednesday. I pulled off the road, and didn't realize how soft the ground was where I pulled off. I must have the tiniest jack known to man, and needless to say, debacle ensued. The car fell off the jack 3 times (twice before some random nice guy showed up and helped me with it). After nearly 30 minutes we got the donut on, and I made it to school with just enough time to receive a totally chastising look from my lab instructor as I walked in 10 minutes late. Just got the tires replaced, for $150 that I could little afford, but the time I spent waiting in the tire store was just enough to get a paper written. Ummm, puppy is good. He's getting really good at the steps to go outside, although Robby still babies him and carries him. Robby is good. His hair has faded from blue to a very interesting shade of tealish-blonde, with brown roots growing out. He wants to dye it again, but I've told him not until he scrubs the remaining blue spots out of the bathtub. I am happy to report that he and I are doing much better, for those of you that were involved in the drama that was he and I a few weeks ago. He, unfortunately, is being sent to 3rd shift next week, so my bed's gonna be awfully lonely (not that I get to spend much time in it anyway), but it's only for a week. I'm trying to come up with a great Halloween costume, so if anyone has any wacky ideas, please let me know. Other than that, I do need to type the aforementioned paper, so I bid you all farewell and a happy weekend.

L is for Losers

So, I'm completely and totally addicted to myspace.com. It's seriously a problem. I check it obsessively, to see if random people from my past that I've recently stalked on that site have emailed me. It's really sad, but in a reality TV kind of way, in that it totally sucks you in. So, if I forget to write here, it's probably because I've spent all of my free time on myspace.

Remembered Passwords!

Hello, hello-
I know that it's been years since I've written, but, alas, I had forgotten my password. I remembered it!!! So, here I am to post again. We've (Robby, Achilles and I) just moved into a new home, a lovely little apartment out in the country north of Kalamazoo. We are completely in love with it, and are SOOOO happy to be out of the McCourtie shithole. As it is nearly 2 am, this will be a short entry. Robby is just about to exit the shower with his newly bleached blonde hair (which will be "After Midnight Blue" tomorrow, much to my own personal chagrin), so I'm off to make blonde jokes and collect on a promised foot massage. Probably won't be in touch again until after vacation, so if you read this, say a silent prayer for me and Robby in the land of munchkins, and I'll write of that when I return.
Namaste-
