ok, so everything in my apartment is falling apart, and it's just the beginning of the year... for example, about half of the lights and outlets don't work. but specifically, this happened when (e:amanda) was washing her hands



look at that guilty face



and anyone would think that we could just call up the landlord and she would send someone to fix it, but no, she's a psycho bitch so we have to fix it...



even tried different angles, but the plastic piece wouldn't hold still to get the screw out



so we decided we needed some pliers to really get a grip on the plastic part



here we are at work



amanda was even getting into it



but unfortunately, we had absolutely no luck getting the screw out, we are thinking maybe if we get another set of pliers we can twist the screw out that way...

but for now, at least we have cold water again ;)



but i know, if paul was my landlord, he would never have let it happen, and if it did, he would have been right over in his work boots and tool belt to fix it!!!

yeah, so i'm heading out friday morning for my last semester at the sunny south florida University of Miami!!! God only knows what's going on after that... maybe a little grad school, maybe a job (finally), maybe i'll meet some rich guy and get married and pop out a few little kiddies, maybe just be a bum for a few more years ;) who knows...

but as for my last day here in sunny buffalo, i think i might take a little walk down the street to the one and only Erie County Fair!!! (last year i saw a baby cow that had just been born that morning, kinda sick and slimy, but still cute) and then the plan is to head out for my last thursday downtown... such cheap drinks, i don't think there is anywhere else on earth where you can get so many drinks for so little $. I love it!!! esp the 3 for 1's at macmonkeys (or however ya spell it) you can even get glowing drinks!!! (if you really want to get anything with tonic water, ewww) but i'd have to say that i think all these cheap drinks in buffalo really ruined me. it used to be soo easy to get a buzz, but now it's like i have to drink a ton to feel anything... (that's gonna suck when i get back to miami where it's $6-$10 a drink...

but yeah, so that's why i really want to go out tomorrow night, i might have to sneak out again though, my mom was a little anti my plans, but i think i've mastered the sneaking out thing this summer, (hehehehehehe, how sad is that) but i need a drinking buddy. (e:amanda) has occupied the position all summer, but as far as i know, she has morphed into an elephant seal and can't make it out :( so do i have any willing substitutes??? (e:mike) ??? you know you want to!!! how much fun have we had, esp finding new, mysterious levels at skybar?!?! or maybe (e:paul) ??? i'm sure you can find more stuff to take pictures of or write about.. or (e:terry) ??? you can't pass up the opportunity to go dancing!!!! or anyone else who may be interested in a fun drunken night with (e:julie) before i leave at 8:30 fri morning (yeah, so that means it's prolly not gonna be that late of a night for me, but fun none the less.... and yeah, (e:amanda), that means you need to get to my house by 8:30 fri morning... so you better get some sleep!!!)

k, well that's my ramble for now, but before i go, i would like to send a shout out to my favorite bichon frise, stick in there kid!!!

ok, so a few days ago, amanda posted some pictures of these pants that i made for her with these big noses on them... but the truth is, i didn't make those for her, i'm gonna keep those ;) and she's getting these pants. they were a little harder to make, but i think they look so much better on her than the nose ones did ;) and these ones even have pockets!!! how cool is that???

picture this: you are out at a bar and some guy asks you for your number/email but you are really not interested in him...

do you:
A: give him your information and just not respond when he gets back to you?
B: give information and respond but with a gentle let down?
C: don't give any information?
D: give wrong information?



((e:amanda) appreciates your prompt responce in this pressing matter) ;)

ya know who probably invented the slip'n slide??? it was those penguins!!! just watch em pop out of the water through those little holes in the ice! the just glide so well then just jump right up!!! i wish i could be a penguin!!! slip'n sliding all day would be quite the life!!!

(and they totally fit the size requirement of tiny)

[size=xl]Happy 22nd Birthday (e:amanda) !!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

did anyone guess what i'm dressed as in my user pic??? well if you guessed that i'm dressed as a big (two tailed) sperm, you are the winner!!!

ok, first and foremost...

(e:ajay) and anyone who happened to read his journal entry, sorry, but that wasn't me!!! although, i guess i could make something out of those videos, j/k ;)

NEXT!!! and this is exciting!!! (well for me)

so back in mid april when i was stressing the hell out with school and stuff i took the FE (fundamentals of engineering) exam. And it was terrible!!! it's a pass fail type of thing, if you get better than a 70, you are golden, in fact, "on your way to becoming a Professional Engineer." and since it takes them up to 12 weeks to get the results out, i just spent the past 2 months dreading the fact that I'm gonna need to start studying again once i get the results (thinking, i for sure scored below 70%)

But the results finally showed up in that mail box the other day, and believe it or not, i am the BEST GUESSER in the world... I GOT A 76!!!!! I PASSED!!!! I am officially on my way to becoming a Professional Engineer!!! (too bad i still can't find a job)

oh well... i have the rest of my life to do that whole job thing ;)

wow, it's sooo hot and humid!! I love it!!! :) except for fact that it's soo hot in my house that i think my 17 yr old doggy is about to pass out from heat exhaustion... she still has her big furry coat from the winter... the poor puppy :( she was panting like crazy all day while she was just laying there... i wanted to soak her with the hose, but i kinda felt bad to do that, so i took her down to the basement... it's a lot cooler there!!!

well it's gonna be warm again tomorrow, but the weather people said that it's gonna cool down again next week :( so get outside and enjoy it NOW!!!! :)

here, I have a solution to everyone's dating problems... hehehehehe, well not really, but I suppose you could try it...

little background: I went to a "bar crawl" thing in Pittsburgh last weekend and we there were a whole bunch of contests and stuff throughout the night, but the one I ended up winning was "aquiring the most phone numbers"

ok, so we all got these t-shirts that said "2005 Shadyside tour" (it was in the "Shadyside district I guess, I don't really know Pittsburgh so well) and the back had a list of all the bars we were scheduled to go to and all that fun stuff...

and so I don't even remember how we started it; I think I went up to some old men off in a corner of the second bar we were at, and just asked for their phone numbers. and they said sure and there I had my first 2 numbers... I don't know what happened next but before I knew it, we were getting numbers from everyone!!! by the time we got to the last bar of the night, guys were coming up to me asking what I was doing with all the numbers... (some suspected it was a sorority thing, or bachelorette party or whatever, but no, we were just a bunch of people all with matching shirts with marker all over them...) and everyone wanted to give me their number. then after, when we went back to the house there were 3 of us with all about the same number of phone numbers so the guy who owned the house started calling numbers from the shirts to verify if they were real... the numbers selected from the other girls shirts didn't work out, then I gave him one, and thank you Dan O'Neill whoever you are for giving me a real number giving me the victory!!!

ok, so there's the story behind my genius plan, so now all you need to do it go get a shirt, put something stupid on it, and go out asking people to give you their phone numbers so you can win a prize. so then later on when you feel the urge to go out with someone, you just have to grab that shirt and try to make out whatever number you can get and be like, "hey, remember giving me your number on my shirt? well... " and you can come up with whatever line you want at that point. and if they say "no" well no worries, you still have like 40 other numbers to choose from.

go do it, it's lots of fun. I would soo be tempted to call some of em, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not going to be back in Pittsburgh in like forever...

oh, and here are some pictures of the shirt to get an idea of what you are going for:





and i even got a police officer's number... well kinda



so there ya go... and i'm back in buffalo for the rest of the summer... looking for a job and just, yeah, doing nothing really...

now go get some numbers!!!!
