New Shocking Discovery

It 's that time again. You can't see the floor of your room. You were putting it off because you were so busy this week. But now it is the weekend and your excuses are gone. The desire still isn't there though. Science may have the answer. There has been a new discovery that suggests there might be food that you should eat before you clean your room. It will give you the energy you need to pick up your laundry as well as making the bed. That isn't all it does, it also gives you the desire to clean your room. What is this miracle meal? Sweet and Sour Chicken and maybe some other stuff. Not only a tasty meal, but a productive one. Everyone should try this meal.

So...

Today is an important day...

More so than any other day in October. Jax and I have been dating for eight months today. It has really been a wonderful time. It is crazy to think of all the stuff that has happened between now and the day we started. I feel like I have grown so much as a person because of her. Not just in these past eight months, but the entire time I have known her. Having her as my superest dooperest bestest friend has affected me for the better. I am looking forward to what our relationship holds for us in the future. People always ask me, after I talk about her to them for the first time, or the fiftieth, if I am going to marry her. I could honestly see that happening. I look forward to the days when I am not so far away from her. When I am close enough that I can see her more than every 4 months. Soon. But never soon enough.

Speaking of visits though. Her's is coming up soon. I am so excited to have her down her. Just to have her in the same state as me is going to be great. But to finally be able to introduce her to all of my friends and family is going to be amazing. It is going to be the best.

That is really all for now. I am filled to the brim with happy feelings. GAH. So much love. Have a great day Internet.

Repo - The Genetic Opera

Last night I had a date night with my girlfriend, Jacquelynn, Jax for short.. Our date nights consist of us staying in, getting on skype, and talking to each other while watching a movie and/or tv show, playing some games,  talking, and/or other stuff. It's a good time. I greatly enjoy our date night because they seem special compared to what we do most nights. Even if it still all revolves around skype. Last night, Jax picked the movie, as she generally does. (She is a bit more picky than I am. I pick every once in a random blue moon maybe.) She picked Repo - The Genetic Opera. She had heard many great things about it, plus it was about to go off of netflix instant streaming. (trying to be spoiler free) So, "roll film".

I am greatly disappointed in this movie. I really didn't like it at all. I think the concept of the film was interesting. I heard one person say that they tried to focus on too many things with genetics, drug addiction, and organ trafficking. While 90 minutes is a bit short to try to do all this, that didn't really seem to be the problem with me. I feel the author was showing the destruction of two family with a similar dark past. These are all important elements that play into their demise. The big thing for me was the dialogue. Spoken it was alright. Nothing special. But the songs were terrible. Most of the songs seemed to just be regular conversations that were now sung and maybe repeated a bit more. That bothers me. I'm not an expert on musicals at all, but, when a conversation is turned into a song, it shouldn't feel like a conversation with music laid behind it. You can take some liberties, make it more interesting, have more emotion behind it.

Speaking of emotion, I had none from this movie. I am an emotional guy...I cry a good bit. Things make me sad. I couldn't really connect with anyone in this movie, none of their plights mattered to me. They just seemed to make bad decisions for NO reason at all. I'm not talking about bad horror movie type decisions where you know you would never walk up to the creepy crying child in a back alley. Not that kind of bad. bad where you just don't understand why they just did that. A girl runs away from an offered cure to her sickness to then run back to get the cure...What? The singing didn't help. There were a few powerful notes in the play. Most moments where they could have them just fell flat. It made me sad...Well, actually it made me feel nothing. Which made me sad. The one character that made me feel was a grave robber who was barely in the film.

I am also still not entirely sure what the point of the movie was. Some people died and those people had a shared past of anger and hatred. But...there just didn't seem to really be a real reason for why things happened. The catalyst was uninviting, or at least ill explained. The scenes they were trying to explain things were just random and mostly unhelpful.

All in all, a pretty bad movie. I am glad I watched it though. Which may seem weird. I like movies. And I have seen worse

Miss Glass

What's up internet. One of my favorite online "personalities" uses that a lot. Jack Pattillo from Achievement Hunter/ Roosterteeth. I love them. Click!

Anyway, onto the real reason that I decided to post a blog post today. And just to let everyone know, this is going to be a post about my girlfriend. So it will probably be pretty sappy. So if you don't want that, don't read past....NOW. No, NOW! I am having fun at least.

I have been dating Jacquelynn for seven months. Seven months. That is really nothing at all if you think about it. Especially in the, hopefully, years that I will be spending with her. BUT it is still a pretty decent amount of time to be with someone. It's crazy how much you can experience in seven months. And all that experience has made me love her so much more. She is pretty perfect for me. I can't think of anyone else that I would want to be with. I don't just mean people I know. I am talking about in my imagination as well. I can't think of a single damn thing I would change about her. Don't get me wrong, there are time when some of the traits about her annoy me. BUT they are also some of my most beloved things about her. I couldn't dream of anything better.

Side note, if my words suck or start to suck horribly. I am a little tired. My brain doesn't want to function correctly. Also, I haven't eaten today...But don't tell her. She will be mad at me. I will get food soon though. I only work until one.

Speaking of that gorgeous girlfriend of mine, who is currently texting me during her break, she is coming to North Carolina soon. I can't tell you how excited I am. I have only spent a week in person whith her so far. And it neeeeeds to be more. Novermber 17th can't get here fast enough. We don't really have that many plans, seeing as our last trip was so action packed, we are trying to make this one more relaxed. And not as expensive. Lots of laying around, lots of netflix and video games, and nothing too crazy. We do have a few things that we need to do, however. First of all, she needs to meet some Boone people. My roommates, Josh and David, are musts. She also has to meet Jay. The rest are really just bonuses. JC, Zach, Jeremy, Broyhill people. They would be cool, but they aren't necessary.  Then there are the very important Kernersville people. Of my family she needs to meet My brother, father, mother, and grandmother. She was at one time going to meet almost my entire family at Thanksgiving, but plans have changed. So now just those 4. Also in Kernersville, Matt & Lulu, Sam, Ryan & Kayleigh. Those are the important people. There are some extras that would be nice. Walter & Lucky, any other member of my family. They would be nice. But it is not needed.

Speaking of people in K-Vegas. Jessica lives there. Being Thanksgiving and all, she is likely to be home. What if we run into her? How crazy would that be. I haven't seen her any of the times I have been home, but it is possible. I would to know how she would react though. Hmm.

The last thing that we HAVE to do while she is home, is Thanksgiving dinner. For the first time ever, my family is doing it's own Thanksgiving. My extended family usually has it as a whole, and still are I believe. This year, it is just going to be five people. Jacquelynn is very happy about this change. She was very nervous about the dinner. NOW everything is going to be much better. We are going to have about 9 pies I think. It is going to be tasty.

Honestly I don't really know what else to write. So, in closing, I love my girlfriend, Jacquelynn Glass, with all my heart. I am so happy to be dating her. I can't wait for the many more blissful moths, years, decades, that I will have with her. November is close. Yay!

Ehh

I am not really feeling inspired to write at the moment. I don't really have anything to say. And I am kinda just annoyed at the world. Eh...maybe tomorrow...


(worst post ever)

Spring Awakening

A few weeks ago I went to watch my friend Sam in a musical. I didn't blog about it then because, well, for one, I am a terrible blogger. I almost never blog when I should. I also was quite busy that night. So I forgot. I should have. It was amazing. Thankfully, I was reminded of how awesome it was thanks to "The Song of Purple Summer" coming on my iPod while I was doing a set up. Sam's show was amazing. It was much darker than the first one that I saw. It brought me to tears. I wasn't ready for it. I don't know if will ever have as much reaction to that play as I did tho this particular showing. Everyone there did a great job. I think I should have more. But my brain is tired. That happens a lot. It makes me feel like a busy man though. More post later probably.

Trim Tuesday

It's Tuesday! I am currently having a really hard time...with time. I didn't realize what day it was in august, It's Matt's birthday ! I really need to talk to him...He still doesn't know what happened when I went to Michigan. And he is privileged to more details than most! I am kinda dying wanting to tell someone allll of it! Hopefully soon. I also hope he has an awesome birthday. I am sure he will. His girlfriend is pretty awesome. 

Tuesday is also the day that I trim my beard. Set into place by the beautiful Jacquelynn. I wanted to trim it when i jumped in the shower earlier, but decided I would wait for Tuesday. While in the shower I realized it was Tuesday. AND that all my towels were in the washer and dryer. Except for a tiny hand towel. it did an admirable job, but it is off to the washer for it again. 

Speaking of washing. I have been doing laundry for the past two days. I have been in serious clean mode. I don't think my room has been this clean in many months. There is nothing out of place...or there wasn't last night. Now there is because I am washing my sheets, so a few things are still on the ground because of that. BUT once I get done with all my laundry, I will have it right as rain again. Having my room this clean reminds me of what little I own. My room echos. I am okay with this though. It makes it easier to move. Not that i move around often. But I plan on making a few moves in the coming year. Two really. To Chicago and back. 

My whole internship plan makes me really nervous. There is almost NO room for error. I want to live in Chicago. Which already limits my chances since some of the firms that recruit at my school are local. And if I don't make it, I would still really like an internship. But I would then be promised to them for 2 years. I don't know if I would mind that too much, But Jacquelynn might. My future, at the moment and hopefully for all moments in the future, is very connected to hers. Or at least I want it to be. We both have dreams of living near Chicago. I wouldn't want to make her abandon her dream. But I wouldn't want to lose her as well. When I think about it a lot. It scares me quite a bit. I pray that everything works out well. I am going to do my best to make all the firms like me. Then, hopefully, I will make it to Chicago. And grad school. It's a happy dream when it all works out.

TOPIC SHIFT! I am really looking forward to the new Madded game. I am not a huge football fan. I don't really watch any sports. Ever. I don't really have to free time to do all the stuff I want to do anyway. So sports watching never makes it up there. That being said, I do love playing Madden with my brother and company. It is one of the most fun experiences I have had on xbox live since the days where I played Gears of War every night. It stopped halfway through the year with Madden 12, thanks to TJ no longer having xbox live. BUT now 13 is coming out. I am very excited. I sold 5 games I was never going to play back to GameStop yesterday. I put it all towards the new madden, now I need less than 30 dollars to finish the purchase. That will be no problem at all! Especially since my next check is going to be pretty awesome. As will, hopefully, the check after that. the one for the next upcoming weeks will be amazing. I am excited about money. And with money comes easy plane tickets. And with that Comes Jacquelynn. The Best plan.

Tonight is going to be a fun night. After talking to Jacquelynn, If we do. She is sick and needs her sleepies. I am going to try to put her to bed earlier than usual. Anyway, after that I am going to play some Gears of War with my brother and Ryan. We are going to get our asses kicked. But it will be a lot of fun. I love that game. I don't really know what else I want to say today. I think I should try to blog more often. Remind me tomorrow Jacquelynn.

Promised post

So I promised that I would post today. And today seems like a really bad day to break that promise. Jacquelynn spent most of the day having tests done to see why she is sick. Nothing has been conclusive yet. Which makes it even worse. I was a little worried about her today. It is times like these that really shows how much it sucks to be far away. When you are happy, it is sad because you can't be close. When you have some desires, it is sad because satisfaction just can't be had. BUT when the one you love is in a hospital and you are waiting 600 miles away just to hear what is happening at the moment. I want to be there to help take care of her. She was so sad looking when we skyped. I would love to make her soup and tuck her into bed, and rub her head while she falls asleep. She deserves to be babied. Hopefully tomorrow there will be answers.

So I am too tired to finish blogging. Today was a bit stressful on my mind. I'll blog again tomorrow....remind me.


P.S. I knew what oncology was...I Just wished I was wrong...that word makes me nervous.

Copycat

I'll admit, this is a response/me being a copy cat. Yesterday, Jacquelynn wrote a beautiful blog about our relationship. It made me smile a lot, though sadly, mostly on the inside. I was a little grumpy yesterday. I don't really know why. But, I just would like to say that Jacquelynn Glass is an amazing girl. I am thankful, daily, that she is in my life. There are times that I don't know what I would do without her. I am so madly in love with her. More in love with her than with anyone else. She means the world to me. It's exciting and scary to have these feelings. So exciting because these feelings make me feel amazing every single day of my life. It's so wonderful. But... She also has a lot of power over me and my happiness. It is quite scary to think about. There is no one else, however, that I would want to trust my heart to. I do it gladly. My heart is hers. And I would have it no other way.

So I Was Doing this One Thing...

I was cleaning my room and I got really bummed out for some reason. Out of no where. I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions today. All over the place. It's kinda crazy. I am sure a decent amount has happened since I last blogged, but I am not sure I remember it. 

I have been talking to an old friend again. Ryan. I haven't spoken to him in years. A lot of bad stuff happened between me and him when I was dating an ex. About my ex. He asked her out a few times, did some other stuff, and generally made me unhappy. Best case, he disregarded our friendship of...6 years, i think, and messed around with my girlfriend behind my back. The details are a little shaky and I don't know what I believe a lot of the times. Regardless of what happened though, one of the first things that was sad when we talked about the past was that he was sorry about what happened. So, yeah, I am glad that Ryan is back in my life. I am a little worried about him at the moment though. Something just seems off...I just texted him.

I worked one of my hardest weeks ever. It was a little fun. I may have worked over 40 hours...which really isn't that much, but I'm not supposed to work over time...the school doesn't like that. It may have happened anyway though. In this week, I worked a wedding for a bunch of people. I have decided that it was the second hardest job I have ever had. Working as a utility for a sports game is still a lot harder, camera equipment is very heavy. Especially up stadium stairs. Lots of stairs. But yeah..anyway i just got distracted..

So my roommates piss me off sometimes. It was so quiet up until 2 minutes ago. They weren't here and it was easy to focus on everything. Now it is hard to focus on anything. They are so loud. David and Josh are both SO loud. Even their quiet is loud. I am generally a quiet person. Loud people annoy me a lot. They also annoyed me in other ways which have gotten better recently. Partially. Partially because I stopped cleaning the kitchen so much and left it for them to do once in awhile. Josh has started to clean. It's awesome. David is still a problem in the sense that I have never seen a spacier person. After cleaning the kitchen, David decided that it was time to make himself dinner...taking over the kitchen...which I had just cleaned. Twice. And now, I know that I should probably have said words to him. But I was just in awe the first time and flabbergasted the second time. They are both very much themselves centered. Not really self-centered. It's not in a deliberate way or anything...it's complicated. AND I don't go out of my way to do stuff for them ALL the time. But, when I cook, I clean all the dishes. Including the ones I just used. When I make a mess, I cleaning it up. I don't eat all the food, nor do I "destroy" the food I know someone else bought specially. I pay attention to what I am doing. And I don't break their stuff. One of my games is broken. Unplayable. But I am nice. They currently have a different game of mine they are obsessing over. If that breaks though. They are buying me a new one.

Oh, and Travis. He came back for a bit. Currently not here at the moment. I still need to write down my thoughts about him in my notebook. I don't really want to write them one line. They are a bit complicated as it is. Yeah. I don't even know what to say here. I think that is everything.

Five!

Soooo Hello there people reading my blog! I would just like to say that I woke up this morning a very happy person. First of all, I woke up to a phone call from my lovely girlfriend, her voice always makes me smile. Secondly, I have been dating Jacquelynn for 5 months now. Yep, it's a little crazy when I think about it. She has been my best friend for years. It's crazy that it took this long for us to realize that we might actually be suited for each other. But I like that it did. "It couldn't have happened any other way" which is a line from a movie that made me fucking cry. I'm not going to say which. Because it would probably be a spoiler.

Anyway. Five months. I am pretty happy about that. It's nice to have the word Girlfriend associated with Jacquelynn. Sadly though I am broke. We are both broke. That trip was quite expensive! But since we are so broke we didn't have any money to spend on gifts. She set me a card that had "call me" on the front. Even though she was getting a card to tell me sweet things and for our five months, she couldn't resist torturing me with that song just a little bit more. Thanks babe. I recorded her the three chapter things of
Wicked. We have wanted to read it for awhile but just haven't had the time or rather matched up time, to do it! So I decided to do some for her. Recording the first bit was easy. 12 minutes of recorded audio became a 6 minute chapter. The second was a bitch. 41 minutes became 14. That was a very long edit day. Pretty crazy. It helped a lot with the learning though, for both reading and editing. The next was only 31 minutes for a little over 20 minute episode. Overall it was really fun. If she likes it I'll do the whole book for her! I am already missing editing and reading.

5 months. Very happy times. I am hoping that this is the first five month celebration of many to come.

Hungry

So I am currently "talking to Jacquelynn while she is trying to set up an alias for her hotmail. She just gave up because it wasn't working too well. She is getting a little frustrated. Sadly, it is a little cute. This could cause problems in the future. It just did kinda. A little spat. But that is okay. Cause she looooooves me. Anyway, we are both feeling super anti social at the moment. Which would be super awesome if we were close to one another. Because cuddles and stuff. Instead, I am looking at her pixely face through a computer. I mean, i would rather this than nothing, but it just makes me a little sad that we are so far away from each other. Long distance sucks. And it is super expensive, because of plane tickets. I really want this Thanksgiving visit to work. Because I miss her so much already. Anyway, that is all. I am starved. But there is people in my living room and I don't want to go out there.....so much hunger!

One Short Week

Starting last Saturday I spent 7 days in Hillsdale Michigan visiting Jacquelynn Glass. My long time friend of many years and my friendationship thing for over 4 months. I was extremely nervous about arriving at a place that I had never been before and to see a girl in real life that I had really only interacted with over the internet. What made things worse was that I had to first go through three hours of a car ride with her parents. I had not met her parents before this point. I don't really do well with meeting people in general, and these people were the barrier to the person I really liked. And it was their daughter. I was riding with the FATHER to go spend a week with his precious little girl. It wasn't a bad car ride at all. Her parents were quite tired since they had been up since 4 in the morning, Vegas Time. It was a little quiet, but I tried to talk as much as I could and jabber away about things I knew without being too opinionated. There may be a time for that later, but arguments then was not good. A lot of hot issue topics didn't really come up however, mostly just simple things about the drive and travel. I really hope I made a good first impression. I tried real hard!

When we arrived at her house, I started to panic. I wasn't ready. Even though I had known we were getting really close, I wasn't ready. I was about to meet Jacquelynn! The girl of my dreams! I saw the door to the house open and my heart started pounding. I remember the way she walked out of the house. She came up to the car and pressed her face against the window. She was so close. I got out of the car and just stood around awkwardly. She was hugging her parents who had been gone for a week. I am so glad that happened first, I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I turned back toward her mother, who she had been hugging and saw her standing there looking at me. In that moment, as she started running toward me, so many things just clicked into place for me. I caught her in a huge hug that transferred from the air to the ground. I was so happy in that moment. I don't even know how to describe it. We just fell into place from there. We walked inside, I didn't let her carry anything, partially because her gifts were in my computer bag, and the suitcase is heavy...I'm terrible I know, but it's just how I am. Anyway, standing in her house we just started holding hands. There was zero awkwardness. To which I am so grateful. There was a lot of tension though. When giving me a tour our faces met quite close. We both knew that a kiss was coming. We both felt it. I have to say, this was my favorite first kiss. I haven't had many so it seems a little weird, but it was just different. It was a HUGE build up. I felt it every time I turned to look at her face. it was at least an hour I think. It was just so perfect to me. Same night I buttered her up with three little owls and asked her to be my girlfriend. Done. I was dating a beautiful girl. We updated facebook right after it was done. We were both so excited to finally be able to say it. We had been toying around it for years. I almost can't believe that I can call her my girlfriend. Much smiles.

Sunday! I went to bed Saturday night and woke up Sunday morning afraid that it had all been a dream. Seeing that I was in a hotel room made my heart swell. I was up about two hours before we had agreed to "set and alarm for". I laid in bed too excited to sleep. I wanted to see Jacquelynn again. Turns out she was having a similar problem and we just decided to fuck sleep and start our day. Which was awesome. She made me breakfast food. I LOVE breakfast food. Hashbrowns, eggs, toast, kielbasa (great addition to the breakfast foods.) It was a very chill day. I met a BUNCH of her friends when we went to see the movie brave. This was also my first interaction with Maggie. See, I needed Maggie to like me. She is quite important. She spent the first few sentences to me analyzing my face from an artists perspective. "Your nose it nice. It's symmetrical. Symmetrical people are pretty. Your eyes are too close together though, and I don't like the color" It was the weirdest dinner I had ever had. I didn't really know how to react! But Jacquelynn helped me out with her words and the conversation shifted. Brave was good. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed holding Jax's hand during the movie. After the movie, we did what all small towns do, we hung out at the walmart! Happy friends time! I liked getting to know Matt and Maggie more. I have heard about their escapades in WalMart many times, but being a part of one was special for me. Included. Part of her life.

It is really weird, and awesome, as well, because we really did just fall into perfect step with one another. It was like I had been holding her hand, sneaking small kisses, and riding around Hillsdale with her my entire life rather than a day. Cuddling together just worked, being together just worked. I had one of the best Zoo experiences ever with her (I keep saying best and most, and I feel it might seem a bit over used, but the problem is that this week was the best of my life by far. I don't think there is a single thing that Jacquelynn couldn't make better just by the fact that she was there, so yeah, all of the bests.) Except for the fake owl. Damn the zoo. It doesn't even make sense for them to have a fake owl. It's a ZOOO. Lame. She got some great pictures though, and I spent the entire day trying to convince her of the danger of giraffes. They have powerful clomping hooves! I've heard tales of their terror! Tuesday we went and saw a movie and had a pretty chill day. It was nice. I took her to Applebee's...Angry. They messed up her order so badly. Much anger. Also on that fateful Tuesday, Jacquelynn spent the night with me at the hotel. I had said that I thought she should stay over Friday night, since it was my last night in town, and she said that she would see. Then we were thinking that maybe we should do it on Tuesday as well since we were going to Michigan Adventures in the morning. It's great logic, it's a long drive, easier to start in one place. Anyway, it was a pretty awesome night. I had never really slept in the same bed as someone, ever, and me and her slept pretty well together. The only problem that night was the room. It was like a fucking desert. Super cold, we need every blanket, super hot, no blankets. It was really annoying, but we still slept pretty well. So well, we actually changed cuddle positions in the night. Went to bed with her being little spoon, and woke up with me being little spoon. We're just awesome.

Michigan Adventures was fun. I haven't been to an amusement park in awhile, and I have never been with a significant other. It was great with it being just the two of us. We rode a lot of water rides. She screams on those. It's the cutest. I wish that I could have taken her in a roller coaster. But, she isn't the biggest fan, and she was feeling sick. Which is okay, she was prepared to go on one with me despite all this. She is a wonderful girl. Oh...we got sunburned. Quite badly. My shoulders are still hurting a good bit. She developed a truckers burn since her AC was broken and her window was down the whole time. That day was so tiring. We had plans for the evening, we ended up just getting a pizza, eating that, showering, and sleeping. The next day brought some very uncomfortable heat with it. It was SO hot and sweaty. Shopping on that day was the worst plan that we had. I don't even want to talk about it. We got a few shirts for me, a jacket and a shirt for her and we went home and had dinner with her family. Tasty dinner. Friday night we made this awesome chicken for dinner. It was a spinach stuffed chicken. The filling was spinach, onions, mozzarella cheese, and garlic salt stuff. The chicken itself (which i smashed most of) had bread crumbs and parmesan cheese on it. We almost made a super tasty risotto. We cooked rice in chicken broth and garlic roasted cream of mushroom soup with carrots and green onions in there. It was so fucking tasty. My mouth is watering thinking about it. We also made a pie, which was also good. I made the crumbley part that goes on top. It was the best part of the pie. I enjoyed cooking with her. WHEN she comes down to North Carolina, we will be making a meal for my mother. And whoever else is there.

Jacquelynn took me to swing club on Friday night. I was really nervous and that reacted badly with the number of people that were there. I kinda shut down for awhile. She took me aside and taught me a little bit of the basics and that helped. Even though I had a little bit of a hard time with everything, I really enjoyed dancing. I would really like to get better. Which is good, because Jax LOVES swing dancing. So I kinda need to like it. I would like to at least get decent at it. Might not be anytime soon though. I have to find a place to learn/do without having the problem of people over load. She had a good time there I think. She looks so pretty when she dances. After swing, I got us a bottle of wine, and we enjoyed out last evening together. It was really nice and late. The next morning was way too early and extremely sad. As weird as it felt to fly and see the girl I had met through the internet, it felt even more strange to be leaving her behind. Why would I leave all of that behind. She is so amazing, it makes no sense to my brain to fly away from that. And everything felt so natural. Like it was where I was supposed to be. I managed to hold it together for the most part (though admittedly, I am fighting some tears right now). I lost it a little bit when I read a letter she wrote for me. And going to bed for the first time in 4 days without her was pretty tough. I miss her so much already. It's crazy.

But yeah, It was an amazing trip. My favorite trip. I am in Love with that girl. I'm already trying to think of when the next time I will be able to see her is. As she said on her blog and facebook. It's not goodbye, It's see you soon.

Michigan

Tonight, I kissed Jacquelynn for the first time. It was amazing. I also asked her I be my girlfriend. She said yes. Today was an awesome start to an amazing week.

Two Days and counting...

So it is technically more than two days until my trip, but only by a small margin. And Wednesday is almost over anyway. Regardless of how many days there are left until I fly out of here, I am VERY excited. I am Going to see an amazing girl named Jacquelynn Glass. You know her. I talk about her all the time on here (which has caused me some problems). She writes on here. In fact, if you read my blog and don't know who she is, then you probably have either a very short memory or are quite slow... because she is really the prime topic these days. Ever since we stated talking seriously last year, and even more so when we started our friendationship. Anyway, the point is, she is very important to me, I talk about her a lot and I like her a lot. And I am going to see her. (I am skyping her while typing this post and it is making me make a lot of mistakes.)

Okay, so, yes, excited, and, haven't posted on here for a very long time. So whatever about the past. Made it through spring semester okay. Blah blah blah recap. Me and Jacquelynn are doing awesome! We had a small bump a few weeks ago that you can read about on her blog. No need to recap here. But yeah, I just made it through my first summer session ever. Well, almost I have one more exam tomorrow which I am not too worried about. I have a pretty awesome grade in the class so I have a big cushion. This is really awesome because I have been checked out for about a week now with thoughts of Jacquelynn and planes. Then more Jacquelynn, because she is what happens after plane ride. I will talk more about what is going to happen as it happens. I plan on blogging while I am there. I have at least one post planned. Hopefully it will be a really happy one if everything goes according to plan.

I think this post turned out to be not as good as I thought. I got distracted a lot (JACQUELYNN)

Forced Blogging

I am writing this blog because someone "asked" me too. Of course my title made me think of forced enjoyment, a roosterteeth thing. Sadly, most of them are gone. Except volume 4, which I just watched. http://ah.roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=310&v=more you should take a look. it's corny, but funny. the first episode is the best, sadly it is gone. Oh well.

Anyway, I had a bunch of stuff I was planning on blogging about. But i forgot almost all of them. This is a bad time to blog. Megan is still not talking to me, and she has blocked me on almost every single medium. Except for twitter. Where she was still following me the last time I checked. It doesn't really bother me too much, because she seems to be quite happy now. Which is awesome. I hope it stays that way. Even if she never speaks to me again. Oh the Cain family.

My paper that I was planning on writing tonight got moved to a Sunday due date instead of Friday. It the best and worst thing that could have happened to me. Because now I am not going to finish it tonight. I'll work on it, but that's it. I have time to chill write it instead of force it. Now, I am sure most of you (lets be serious, I have maybe three readers, one who knows all this...) are saying that I could have been doing this during the week. WRONG! This week has a been a stress filled hell hole! So much work and school! I have had so little time, oh, and I lost David's spare car key. Not fun. Anyway, yeah.

I don't know that I have anything else to blog about that I remember, maybe I will do a more in depth post soon.

Why Sean Is Awesome

Hey guys :) Jacquelynn here!
I just wanted to let you know how awesome Sean is.
Look what was waiting for me when I got home!!

Isn't that the cutest little purple owl pillow ever?

I love it a lot. 

I'm very happy. I also have, like, a huge letter to read. 

:) 

That's all. I'm off to watch how I met your mother with Sean. (After that we'll probably watch some supernatural). (Clearly, we are creatures of habit).

Peace, Love, and snuggly pillows,

Jax

Work Blog

The last time I blogged in this office a lot of drama happened. I don't think it will happen again as the main starter of that drama is no longer talking to me. In fact, she has cut off all ties to me. Blocked me of Facebook, refuses to answer texts, stopped following me on sites she used to be. Everything. It's a little overkill if you ask me. I was a little flustered about it at first, but now that all is said and done, I'm pretty okay with it. She had a problem with Jacquelynn, and I probably never would have been okay with that. Plus, even though I'll miss her, I won't miss this drama. And who knows, maybe after we both cool off a little bit, we can reassess the situation and see where we stand.

I sent off Jacquelynn's present today. I'm very excited for her to get it and hear what she thinks. I am pretty sure she is going to love it. Jax's friend June, is agreement that she will enjoy the gift. I hope it makes it their without harm! It is in a soft package, the post office worker suggested it. I have no idea how long it should take to get there...According to the usps website, who has an AWESOME mobile site, it should arrive on the 5th. Which I think is when Ms. Glass is heading home, so it should be waiting there for her beautiful self.

Um, I feel I should have something else to talk about. I haven't really sat down and played a video game in awhile. Well, that isn't exactly true. I played the week after spring break. Because that was a pretty chill week. Plus it helped me deal with some crazy women. Speaking of which I would just like to say that I am very happy that I kept my cool for the most part and didn't fall back on the huge jerk I was a little while ago with my anger.

So Jax just suggest that I blog about what her gift is. She apparently doesn't want to wait for what it is. Very well, I got you a hot pink jacket with a matching bracelet. I know that usually pink isn't your color, but I figured you could make an exception. Okay, so that isn't what I got her. It's actually a I can't think of anything ridiculous that isn't INSANE. That is sad. Anyway, at least a hint. What I got you is not pink. Nor is it orange. And you'll love it.

Alright, now I am done because I am at a loss for what to say next.

My Sleepy Saturday as a Cute Nerd

So, I didn't get to sleep as much as I wanted to last night as I told one of my co-workers that I would cover for them this morning. I also forgot that I did this so I stayed up quite late with Jacquelynn. Which was nice, because, spending time with her is nice. Anyway, I woke up WAY to early today and have been doing boss stuff all day. After I destroyed (did laundry) at work for a good number of hours I went home and took a nap. Then the real awesomeness started.

I woke up, feeling ready to tackle what I had planned to do today. Shop! It took about 5 minutes, the quickest shopping experience of my life. I was getting a gift for Jacquelynn. I really do hope that she loves it. I am mailing it out tomorrow. Coupled with that, I finished writing her letter. It's pretty huge. It doesn't exactly fold and puffs out the envelope. It's a good thing it is going in a box.

During that letter writing process I also nerded out with one of Jax's friend who was asking me about Zombies. I am happy to report that I survived the beginning portion of my journey as well as being super nerdy. happy times were had by all.

Earlier in the day I had a Skype date with Ms. Glass. We had some delicious Pizza and watched an interesting movie about a couple struggling with the death of their daughter and come back together by helping a struggling teen. Happy times.

Today has been an awesome day, I'm all smiles, and I plan to finish it out the best way I can. Talking to Jacquelynn.

Odd learnings

On a happy note. I learned that women poop today. I was told this as Jacquelynn exclaimed it at me when I said she that she had just gone to the bathroom.

I still do not know what to blog about...

Stuff has happened since the last time I blogged, but...I don't know. I don't really want to blog about the pressing issues in my life right now. And since then have been taking up a lot of space, I took a break from blogging!

There are some things I do want to talk about however. Megan and I had another fight. We are still talking, however. Which is good, because she has had some things go down RIGHT after. Luckily she is okay and things are looking alrightish. Besides all the bad stuff. I don't know. This paragraph is confusing...

Okay, onto less confusing topics. Jacquelynn is on her spring break this week. Max relaxing! She sounds like she is generally enjoying her time off. Which is good. I think she needed a break. I read her to tiredness last night from the first Harry Potter. I love reading to her. It's nice to be able to put to use all the things I learned in my theatre class. Though I met did act...anyway. That's fun. We studied Latin last night as well which was quite fun. While I don't have the patience for it, I've found it interesting at times. I'm glad I have an excuse for looking at it now.

In other news, my spring break was pretty awesome. Very relaxing. Too short, but, it probably could have been a month and been too long. Since my break, I have gotten back into cubing. I am hopefully going to finally get my 4x4 down. Sam got his first cube and seems to be doing well at it. Which is awesome!!! I also got to spend a good amount of time with my mother, brother, and some with my father. I missed the all terribly. It was pretty fun spending time with my brother. He makes me laugh. While I was down there I got the go ahead from my mother to go to Michigan this summer. Which is awesome. She couldn't really stop me. But it is nice to have her blessing. My mother actually told me she wants me to go. Makes me happy. Hopefully me and Jax will sit down and plan that put soon. And I think that is it for now. Back to work for me!

Gutes Tun

So, I saw the Musical Wicked this past Saturday in Virginia Beach. It was an amazing show. I still like Spring Awakening better, BUT Wicked is most likely my second. It was just spectacular. It was so nice to see a professional cast again. I bought the sound track while I was there, a great choice. The deluxe sound track, one of my best choices ever. it came with a special CD that has 2 songs from the German cast and 2 from the Japanese cast, as well as a few other things. The German Elphaba may be the best thing that I have ever heard in my entire life. She gives me chills. I also informed Jacquelynn that while I adore her a GREAT deal, I have found my love in Idina Menzel (original Broadway actress) and must chase after her, no matter the age difference or anything else. It'll work. I am currently addicted to that soundtrack.

Also, quick side note before I move on to what i am currently doing. I am extremely happy at the moment. Just generally, I have this feeling in my chest that is just awesome. And I'm smiling most of the time. It's so nice. I'm enjoying life. Mostly thanks to one person, Jacquelynn. It's been awhile since I have felt this happy.

Okay, so, I just finished my first Warhammer 40k tutorial game. It was quite fun. If I had infinite time and money, it would be something that I would enjoy doing I feel. But I don't. So, I will just bum my games of Sam and enjoy it in small settings. Hopefully soon I will enjoy a full game! That is all for now.

Spring Break Time?

Man this week has been pretty crazy. Honestly, I just forgot that it was Thursday. Silly me. I have three tests this week. And one of them was a killer tax test. It was so long!! I was quite tired after, I was a little grumpy talking to Jacquelynn. Sorry about that, by the way. I think I did okay on it and all of my others. And now I just have one more class, with a quiz, and I am done with school for the week. I am ready for this break. Have been for awhile now. I am going to go home and relax for a few days with almost nothing that I need to do. It is going to be glorious. Not to mention that. My friend, Zach is taking me to see Wicked. So awesome.

On a much much sadder note, me and Jacquelynn finished reading The Fault in Our Stars on Tuesday night. That book made me cry. I don't mean tear up, I mean cry. It was terrible, Jax had to do a lot of the reading because I couldn't make it. Stupid cancer book. Regardless Of the fact that it made me look a bit less manly, it was an amazing book. I love it a great deal and would reccomend it to anyone. Next up we're are either reading Room or A Clockwork Orange. I am hoping for room because A clockwork orange is a very wordy book. I do want to read it a lot though, so it will be nice to have someone to help me to get through.

Speaking of Jacquelynn and awesome things (they often go hand in hand) I got a package from her! It contained a letter of many things that made me smile and such, as well as a wonderful scarf that not only looks awesome but also smells of the lovely Jacquelynn. It was a very good package. I need to get her scarf package ready soon.

I am trying to think of there is anything else I would like to blog about. I don't think so.

I am a super awesome dude

I found Sean's password in my old facebook messages.

And decided to leave him a small note here.

Because he's awesome and bought me dinner tonight, even though he's 718 miles away.

And I want to thank him for dinner, and also let him know how grateful I am for our awesome saturday evening spent eating and talking and watching supernatural and reading. And how grateful I am for the study session that is coming tomorrow.

So, thanks for being awesome, sweetie :) I owe you.


And to all Sean's readers - I'm sure you're awesome too <3


Peace, Love, and Hawaiian Pizza,
Jax

The Past

Do you ever think about what you did in the past and cringe? Or worse, have someone else thinking about the past and feel the terrible bubble of worry start to build up in your stomach. Yeah, well, happening now. I did some stupid stuff in the past. (who hasn't?) Most of the time I can chalk it up to learning and be okay with it. As long as I did actually learn something. As White-Ra said "more gg, more skill." The problem is, not everything fits into this category for a few reasons.

Okay, so despite how many reasons there are, it has to do with one person. Jacquelynn. I was pretty hurtful at times. Times where I had no right to be, times where I really shouldn't have, and times that just didn't make sense. The huge problem is that it took me a long time to realize that I was kinda being a dumbass. I knew for a long time how much I cared for this girl, but I acted like an idiot for far too long. There are a lot of things I can blame, but they are excuses really. Thankfully she hasn't written me off yet, for which I am eternally grateful. Jacquelynn has made me very happy these past few weeks. I can't exactly explain why, but this time feels different. I really like this girl.

I was honestly thinking about it as I was falling asleep last night. I am scared as well. I don't want to do anything stupid and mess this up. Again. But, as I mentioned before, it just feels different, more real maybe. So, no more huge stupid things from me for awhile. I have done my fair share over the past almost year. It's time to apply what I have learned.

Sad Soup

So I told someone very special to me that I would blog today, so here goes. I suppose I do have something I would like to talk about.

Thing one, reading. I have started reading again. Well, not really. I mean, i would have if I could have found the book I was looking for these past few days. I have tried to buy The Fault in Our Stars for about three days at 3 different places in Boone and even checked our library. My efforts were fruitless, so I have ordered the book and expect that it shall arrive within the week. However, I am sort of reading. Or rather being read to. Me and Jackie decided to read a few books together, and since I wasn't able to get my hands on the book, and we both really wanted to start, she read to me last night. It has been the longest time since anyone has read anything to me. It was very nice, I hope to return the favor soon. Though it is going to take a few days. Jackie did a wonderful job as well. Also on our reading list: A Clockwork Orange (that one will be tough, it's dense...), Room, and The Hunger Games

Also, for all the people who told me how awesome John Green is, you are correct. This book is the first of his I have ever read and I am enjoying it quite a bit.

In other news (thing two), Megan and I are talking again which is nice. It's good to be past all the drama. I don't like drama that much. Which is weird, because I like to know. Everything. They contradict. Silly Sean. Anyway, yeah, Mego texted me the other day and we have been better ever since. She is going to NY soonish, and to a Doctor Who themed bar. I'm jealous. I love Doctor Who a great deal.

Thing three. Me and Jackie talked a little bit about the future today and the idea of being a parent and how crazy it is. First of all, creating life is a bit crazy. Just, a tiny human growing inside of someone. Madness. Going further on that train however is the idea of raising a child. I have NO experience with that (obviously) and yet I am responsible for this chiles well being and how they are raised. Super scary. Then we started wondering what type of parents we would be. I would honestly like to think I would be a good parent. But I really have no idea. I am positive that Jackie would make a good mother however. I feel she is more patient than she knows. And very full of life and awesomeness. Yeah, I didn't get to respond to her earlier when we were talking. She had to go be awesome at an RA interview. So yeah.




I heard from Matt today. I miss him so much. School and work have kept me so busy it is hard to find time to go home. Hopefully we will have a Skype date soon!

Alright. Closing up here. Supernatural is an awesome show. I am liking it more and more. Also, I am watching Arrested Development again, which is also very good. I am determined to beat The Binding of Isaac soon. And I need to find a Scarf, a Button-up Shirt with stripes, and a Vest.

Graduation

I have just graduated to becoming a full Facebook stalker. I am not proud of it. And will hopefully never do it again. BUT my mother just informed me that my brother was out on a date with a girl named Stephanie whom (i think) he had met at the school and hung out at our church Cafe. That is all I had to go on. I started my search SO SURE I was going to find this girl. After a few false leads and points wall searching. I came up empty handed. However it was not this lack of success that made me stop. NO, it was what I did discover. I found a Stephanie that my friend's younger brother was dating. It gave me pause, this Cameron could not be the same guy, I told myself. However, after clicking on his name I knew it was him. It was grown up Cam. And grown up Cam looks a lot like my friend. It was one of the weirdest discoveries of my life. I am still not 100% over it...

In other news. Work today was a mixture of easy as pie and super busy. David and I managed to do a decent amount of set up and take down of the rooms no longer being used and soon to be on Monday. I feel like a real manager as I had the keys and I was making the big decisions on what to do. The event we were working, however, was not the best organized. They switched the Middle School and High School bands locations today. We were constantly telling people that they were in the wrong place and where we THOUGHT they should go. We really didn't have much of a clue because no one told us. We pieced it together from half conversations. Then I gave the interior door keys to the next shift and I was done for the day. That was the best part. Not staying until the end. Best. Ever. I rarely am not there for the end of an even I am working.

I am currently helping Jackie write an Essay for her Western Heritage class. I really hope that I can be a great help to her. She has had such a stressful week. Anything I can do to lighten the load for her. Hopefully we are going to watch a movie tonight. No idea what movie, but I will enjoy it no matter what. For one it will be with her, and I just enjoy movies anyway. In case anyone was curious, Jackie is examining the use of imagination in Dante's Inferno to the views of Montaigne on imagination. She is proposing that while Montaigne is suggesting that imagination is a powerful thing that can actually bring about things, Dante has a line which must be crossed.

Also, Megan wrote a blog post today. I still don't know exactly what I think about it. I have mixed emotions. I am glad to see that she is doing well at least. I hope that continues.

Finally Friday

How many blog posts in the world do you think have used such a cliche title? Mine is no more justified. I am sure I could come up with a witty title, (as all my others are SO witty) but I have no desire to do that. As I have said many times this week, it has been quite a stressful one. Not so much for me as I only had one test, which scared me to pieces but still. Jackie on the other hand had a ton of stuff to do and was quite stressed constantly. She handled it like a boss, however. I knew she would. She is a pretty amazing person. She helped me out a lot this week as well. With the small amount of stress that I did have, such as the test for which she was very supporting.

I am currently at work taking care of 186 middle school children, some of their parents, and their teachers. 186 honors band kids. It is an interesting bunch that range in ages quite a bit. I am positive that they all can't be in middle school. They look so tiny. Anyway, kids produce trash and mess at a rate which is unbelievable. I have never seen so many mountains in trash cans before. It was a very messy process cleaning up after them. I am so glad I have the morning shift tomorrow and I won't be breaking down everything after the. They have a lot of stuff. Also, many of them are awkward. And there is a lady that looks like the principle from School of Rock. I'm ready to be done though. I have to be here bright and early tomorrow morning at 6am. Crazy times.

I have food. It is time to eat now. 

How cool am I?

SO I'm at work right now, but me and Daniel, my boss, have already finished setting everything up for the day. Well, at least in the next few hours. The student union has a lot more that goes on during the day than at the Broyhill. It's pretty crazy to look at the event sheet down here. (down because the Broyhill, my other and primary place of work, is the highest place on campus. You. Can get a real workout walking up that hill. It is ALL incline.

Anyway, the reason I decided to blog...well the real reason is because I'm pretty bored right now. There isn't much to do, and Jackie, to my knowledge, is still asleep. I would text her, but I am nervous about waking her up. She needs her sleep. Especially for today which is going to be very stressful. I am actually a little stressed right now as well. I don't want my principles of accounting test back... It makes me super nervous. I already know I need to focus more on that class than I have been. I don't need to see my sadness. I'm scared.

UPDATE: I got back my test and released a huge sigh. I got a 91. My friend Jay beat me by one damn point. Congratulations Jay!

On a final note, the reason I am son cool is because I am doing this on my iTouch. While walking. I'm so cool.

Long week and it's only Wednesday

This week has been an extremely long one. Especially if you toss in Saturday and Sunday, which is where something that have been a problem this week have started.

Last Saturday, while at work, I did a blog post about a friend of mine as well as some feelings about Jackie. My friend, Megan, read that blog when she was done with the event and since then we have been having some difficulties. Jackie has talked a little bit about it in her last two post as it now deals with her too. Last night it got worse and now Megan is not talking to me at all. Megan saw Jackie's blog post that Jackie wrote on her blog about her attempts to help the situation. She was angry that I had talked to Jackie about what was going on. I talk to the people I care about with issues that I am having. I care about Jackie a great deal, I talk to her about pretty much everything. I know Jackie cares for me a great deal, so not only will she want to help me and try to do her best in that aspect, but she isn't going to use anything that I tell her in a diabolical way. What I told her also wasn't personal. I wouldn't talk about Megan's secrets. The few I may know.But this situation with Megan was one that had me quite worried, so I told Jackie. I do not apologize for that. But Megan, I think you are being a little silly.

On other notes, this week sucks in other ways as well. I have bed times now. It is something that I have needed for a very long time. Without them I will stay up to all hours of the night. The only reason I am actually following them now is I have someone who enforces them. Which is awesome and sucks at the same time. I think eventually they may be all awesome, because I will actually be getting a decent amount of sleep, but this week has been so busy that because of my bedtimes my time talking to Jackie has been a good bit limited. Even now (yes I know it is Wednesday), after I am done with most of my immediate work and am in a lull, it's hard because the week (and now more) is super busy for Jackie as well.

It's okay though. because if we can survive the semester, and I one of my two summer sessions, I plan on going to visit her. It will be the first time I have ever taken a vacation by myself, flown by myself, and paid for an entire trip myself. I really think that it has a high probability of happening. She feels her parents will be okay with it, and even though mine aren't really necessary, I feel my mother would be on board once I explain everything. I'm sure once everything gets solidified and it gets closer I'll stat to get extremely nervous, as this will be the first time I have spent anytime with Jackie for more than 30 minutes. In person at least. So fingers crossed for no crazy expenses and plane rides in the summer.

Housekeeping! I work twice this weekend (counting Friday night) I work Friday night, until sometime, and then again Friday morning at 6. BUT at least I then have the rest of the weekend and don't work again until Tuesday. I've been watching this show called Samurai Champloo which is quite good. Also, I'm hungry. That is all.

Mego is Dying in the Redneck Wilderness: a Story of Survival

So, Megan is in Mount Airy today celebrating her fathers birthday. She has been sending me distress texts all day. She is on the very edge of the imaginary cliff. I have tried to help her; she needs to acclimate in order to survive. She needs to take some of that super redneck beer that they have lying around, down a few bottles, and become one of them. It is in her blood. She can do it. She has it in her. The problem, however, is that she is not taking any of the very excellent advice that I am giving her. She is instead sitting all by her lonesome and trying to not be noticed by being quiet. This plan has a high probability of failing. Once she is noticed and brought into the part by the crazy rednecks, there is nothing that she can do in order to blend back into her hiding place! UPDATE: Megan is drinking Natty Light. She may make it after all. The blending has begun. SECOND UPDATE: Scarves are now the topic of conversation, Megan and her hipster self has something that she is an expert on. She may be okay. She may make it. Small victories as she says.

On a different note, that first part only came about because I didn't know what to title this blog. I don't really even know what I want to write about. I just know that I wanted to do one. I am sitting in the back office of my workplace, all by myself. It's sad, because someone does have to be here at almost all times, and i wasn't going to make Casey or Kristin, my two coworkers for the day, sit back her all by themselves. I would feel bad pushing this solitude on someone else, especially a girl. Though that is from my silly personality. Plus this event I am working is a primarily all male event. Despite the fact that everyone here is probably an upstanding person who would never do anything, you just don't want to ever take that chance. Especially when the entire building is unlocked. Anyone could wander in here right now. So yeah, safety.

On a different different note, life is pretty good right now. I might even go as far as to say fantastic. There are a lot of stressful events that are going on around me, with all of my classes having as many exams as possible in a very short amount of time, and school work in general is starting to come up, and while all that is happening work is finally starting to go into full swing. Despite all that I am happy. I've been kinda happy for the past year and months and such, since my big downfall into sadness, caused by an evil girl. But mostly I have been angry and sad. No longer is that the case. And the best part is that it isn't ALL because of a different girl. Over the Christmas holiday, I figured out a few different things. I can't really place when it happened or anything that may have been a catalyst, but i have leg go of the past. It's a relief really. The new year started with me not hating the world for being a terrible place. I wasn't as angry and actually happy.

Of course, that alone couldn't put me at the level that I am currently. There is a girl. Not a new one really, she has been around for a very long time. 4 yearsish? The details get fuzzy with my strange High School experience, but I have known her for ages. Over the past year, we have had a lot of ups and downs in our relationship. The last down was a time in which we didn't talk for a few months really, because of me and a decision I made. Now, however, we have entered into a kind of friendationship. We talk often and both share a complex array of emotions and feelings towards each other. The biggest problem we have is the 712 miles between us. And for that reason we are not currently pursing any kind of legitimate relationship, at the moment. We both just look at the unknown future and think that it may one day become possible. Honestly, this wording is a bit of a downplay. We both would really like the opportunity to see what would happen. I feel that it could quite possibly work out very very well. I am planning on attempting to visit her this summer. It is starting to look more and more like a reality. If I can get the money to take a trip up there I would be extremely happy. It would be nice to see her in person for more than the 30 minutes I saw her once on a trip back from visiting family.

Alright, some quick house keeping. If you don't listen to We're Alive, the Zombie podcast of Survival, you need to. It is an amazing radio drama that has captured my attention like no other zombie story ever has. It is amazing and everyone should give it a shot. The first few episodes are a LITTLE shotty, but it quickly gets it's legs and explodes into an amazing story and piece of art. I destroyed my Tax test. It's awesome, I feel I really understand that stuff. Uh, I think that may be it...Yeah. I need to get a sign off thing. Because this stuff is not covering it.

Fhursday

What a week. It's has been the longest one I've had in awhile. Between working late on Tuesday night, to two test that I had on Wednesday this week as been quite stressful. I'm so glad that it is almost over. It feels like it is a Friday to me. Which makes the fact that it is only Thursday extremely depressing. This weekend is hopefully going to be enjoyable, though I have work on Saturday now from 4 to 12. I am making bank this week. However, I have another test next Tuesday, and I work Monday night. The universe is against me at the moment it seems.

On a super positive note, I have started talking to Jacquelynn again. It has been quite enjoyable and relaxing. He birthday was this week. I was a little late getting her gift to her, but I think she enjoyed it. She likes Owls. And letters. I'm planning on talking to her later tonight and I'm looking forward to it.

The Binding of Isaac. Great game. Go play and buy it now. It is amazing. Super fun and addicting. In fact, I am playing it right now.

Yeah it's acceptable

This is a test.

Library Woes: Day 2

I'm back in the library again. This time with Jay, my accounting counterpart. We wanted to do some studying for our exam in CIS 2050 tomorrow. I don't feel as if we really studied at all. We went through most of the study guide. The problem is that the study guide is pretty terrible. It is a straight copy of multiple choice questions with the answers take out. So many question are impossible to answer. Such as, "Which of the following is not true?". What? How would I use that to study. It gives me absolutely nothing to go on. There are some that at least give me something, asking which are not aspects of information systems. Still terrible, but at least something.

But I have a good amount of time tomorrow to study, and I don't really feel motivated today, so it is no problem. Jay has decided to call in his meal that I owe him. The cheap bastard. He doesn't recall the time that I bought Jimmy John's for everyone last semester. It's not actually a big deal, he is just shoulder surfing and compromising my security as I type. I should know better, we were just "studying" about that very thing. He has gotten me plenty of times before, though i have paid most of them back. It's all good. Things even out between friends eventually.

Uhhhh, yeah. I just want to give a nod of approval to an amazing podcast that i have quickly become addicted to. "We're Alive" is an amazing radio drama about a zombie apocalypse, the first few chapters are a little slow, but once it picks, it doesn't slow down. Fantastic. I apologize to everyone who I told that I liked it before I really became hooked. I just didn't understand.

Library Woes

This is rapidly becoming the thing I do in the Library when all my work is done. I really don't have much i want to talk about right now because I am SUPER stressed for some reason. I feel like I should be doing more work than I am, but I have two tests so I should focus on them or something and I don't want to fail I want to be awesome and my iPod cable spazed out and deleted most of the stuff on my iPod so I am having to resync everything to it right now, and I don't know how to build a resume and I need to start making one but I haven't done anything important in my life at all related to accounting and I want to be home in bed eating cereal. Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Tax Research for the win

I just spent three and a half hours trying to answer one tax related question. Yes, it was partially because my teacher was requiring that we found two primary sources related to the topic, BUT it was still extremely frustrating. In case you were wondering, if you file your tax return with a married filing jointly status and want to change that in the next few years, you can't. the only way, that I found, that this status ca be changed is if one or both of the spouses has died and the controller of the deceased spouses assets wishes to file under a separate status. So there we go. Tax question answered, memo and letter written...I just remembered I have a quiz to take...but all of my answers are at home...I'm pretty sure I could wing it. And I did. I'm pretty sure I did well.

I am extremely tired and hungry right now. I am going to go get food even though I am trying to cut back on spending. There is no food at my apartment right now as David did not want to go shopping today suggesting that we should do it today...and now I need food and sleep. Hot Diggity Dog here I come for some delicious food that is horrible for me.

I can't remember if there was anything else I wanted to say, thanks to my need for sleep. So yeah...yeah.

A Return to Blogging

So, it has been a really long time since I have done this whole blogging thing. I have felt for awhile that I wanted to get back into it though. I don't know who regular I will be, however. I don't want to make any promises as I am actually busy this semester.

So my iPod broke a few days ago. On Tuesday I was working at my Job at the amazing Broyhill Event Center. I was putting some tables and chairs back into their proper storage areas and i assume that my iPod broke sometime in that process. I, like my iPod, was crushed. I use my iPod constantly. My friend Josh referred to it as self medication for over-thinking. I do too much thinking about things that are out of my control or, and mainly, in the past. All it does is make me sad, which is completely pointless. There used to be a time in which I couldn't sleep if it wasn't playing in my ears. Thankfully, to sleep, I now only need to listen to it before I decide to actually sleep.

Without my iPod I was drowning in my own thoughts. Other people were starting to catch on that something was wrong and asking me what was up. It seemed weird to say that I was suffering because of a missing iPod, so I just said that I was having a bad week. Which was only a misdirection from the main cause. My week was turning pretty sour thanks to the iPod. I forgot about a class completely, which I am going to say would never happen if I was in my right mind and well rested. Finally after a not fun Friday I decided to end my troubles.

On Wednesday I had decided that I couldn't wait for me to save up and I would have to do so retroactively. I set out to order myself a new iPod. I first had already decided that I wanted an iPod touch. I first looked at the apple store and was all ready to order from them before I saw that they required a signature of delivery, which makes sense with the price of the product. This policy is a problem for me because I'm not home as set times, and it is impossible to get to my door without a key. Since that wasn't going to work I went to the next best choice. Walmart. Sadly they didn't have any at the store when I went the next day. I ordered one online to have shipped to the store, sadly this was going to take until next Thursday. Cue Friday, I was going crazy. I had gone to Walmart with David and I peeked in the electronics section. there was a touch that was sectioned away from the others...could it be a touch? David was in a too much of a hurry, as he was heading to Winston to visit a nice girl, for me to check. Later after some other not fun thinking and conversations I finally decided that I had to check. Josh enabled my bad life decisions and took me to Walmart to check.

Like a miracle it was the exact one I had wanted. A 4th gen. 32gb iPod touch. I had to cancel my online order with a girl at the counter, who told me it would take 24-72 hours for the refund to come through, and buy the new one. So at the time I had purchased two iPod touches. Worth it. I am currently in love with my new iPod. I am now re-self-medicated and happy. Thank you Apple and Roosterteeth (the sound part of my medicine) for saving my brain and happiness.
