New Car...

I am going to look for a new car today. This is the first time I wasn't forced to get a new car cuz my old one completely pooped out. It is also the first time I am looking at a dealer and not just getting one for like $500 from somoeone who can't drive anymore or gets a new car. It is very nerve racking. My parents are looking for a new car too so we are gonna look together (perhaps get a buy one, get one free, haha)! I don't know. LIke my car I have now is dying slowly and I dno't want to have to be forced to find one right away or put anymore money into it so I guess it is time> It leaks everything and keeps having little parts break.

I need something roomy for my big legs and I drive a lot of people around a lot so I need it to hold a lot of people. And I want it to have good mileage. And power windows. Those are really my only necessities, oh and prolly air conditioning. And blue. I think i want blue or red. Wish me luck...

I saw Bobby

I saw Bobby today at the cheap show in Cheektowaga with (e:jill). It was really good and soo sad. I love sad movies. I really like when I cry at movies. I don't know why but I really like sad movies and this was one of them. Even though you kinda know where it is giong, it is still really sad and crymaking.

I Finally Did It

After some mishaps and misunderstanding I finally registered for Physics. I will be at UB North Campus (there are prlly few places i rather not be at) on MWF from 11-1150 and Thursday at 830. I meant to sign up for Tuesday but I messed up and now it is full. I have to go get my id, parking permit and my UB account on Friday. How am I supposed to find my way around. I gave myself an hour from when I leave work and have to get there on my first day is that enough time. My class is in Cooke121. Wish me luck...i am gonna feel really old and dumb. I haven't taken math/science class in like 5 years so Physics for Engineers should be real great!

It won Best Musical in like 2005. I was listening to some of it and I think you would like it a lot. Just wanted to tell you that before I forget again. Smooch.

Don't worry to much about how hard the course is, you just may not be able to do your semester-long projects at 2am before they are due. Other than that, smartie, this will be a breeze. Congrats! (Remember me when you are supa dupa rich)

terry writes at 09:58:31 01/11/07 - Comment #14442: Yay!!! I was worried I was going to be all alone. I am there the same days...MWRF...just great that one stinking class takes up 4 days and 7 hours of our life each week. And we have to take 2 for the next 2 semesters. I am actually there earlier than you on all days. 9 on MWF and friggin 7 on R. Blahhhh...

leetee writes at 09:32:05 01/11/07 - Comment #14441: I know it's scary, confusing, intimidating... and so many more frightening things.

But the brave don't sit on the sidelines. The brave are scared and do it anyway.

Good Luck, Mike! I wish you all sorts of mathy brain activities!!

I never commuted - but the times where I was too lazy or in a hurry I'd take my car to a class rather than the buses. Parking is atrocious at that campus.

let me know if i can help you at any point in there

Nothing Sadder...

..than a young person's funeral. (e:amanda)'s brother's funeral was today. It was soooo sad. I have never been to a young person's funeral before. It is so differently sad. Though I never really knew him, it was still incredibly sad. Seeing amanda and her family was heartbreaking. Her grandparents seemed soo distraugh. Who ever imagines burying their grandkids? I don't know how you ever recoup after something like that.

Condolences

(e:amanda)'s brother andrew died today. He's only like 26. He has been sick for a while so it wasn't completely surprising but still utterly horrible. I can't even imagine what her and her family must be going through. He is her only sibling. I can't even imagine if (e:paul) died. It seriously leaves me speechless. I feel so bad for them. He has been sick for a while though so maybe it is better but still it is horrible. This doesn't really make sense but it just I don't know, I felt like writing about it but don't really know what to say.

Spot hot chocolate makes me...

sick. I completely forgot how sick it makes me. I remember now why I stopped drinking it. It makes me completely sick to my stomach in the worst way. And trust me I can deal with stomach aches but these are way worse!!!

We saw Children of Men tongiht. It was good but really draining. LIke I felt like I ran a marathon when I got out. Like so suspenseful but also emotionally drianing with so much ups and downs, well mostly downs. But it was really good. I kinda want to read the book becuase i wonder if there is more detail about what happened in the world to make it like it was. The movie leaves most of that out.

Sick For the New Year

So as yo ucan tell by the lack of pictures of me at this years party (and all of them fully dressed) I was not feeling so well this New Year's Eve. I got sick while at work (sore throat, shaking, cold sweating, headache, the works) I took a whole bunch of pills determined to party no matter what. After a few drinks though,the sickness returned and I laid down upstairs in the smoking room never to get up again til like 6am. I think I barely made it til 1am not sure really though. It was quite sad but I did enjoy myself until tha tpint.

I especially want to thank my (e:secretsanta) for an awesome gift. I love the scrapbooking stuff. I can't wait to start making one. I have seriuosly been wanting to start scrapbooking for a long time and now I have no excuse not to. I am gonna make a 2007 (e:stirp) scrapbook and will show my results at next years new years eve party.

New years day was a complete bust. I never got dressed or out of bed for the whole day cuz I was feeling so sick. Today I am somewhat better but luckily I only work inthe morning and night and had the afternoon off to take my dad to the docrtors for surgery and I could rest then>

HOpefully I will be better soon. And then I am ready to party it up super dupa style. Whose with mE?

need a break...

i seriously need a break from life and scheduled things. I just want a whole free day that I don't have to spend finding gifts, doing errands for my parents, and working. I seriously badly need a day that has nothing in it. JUst lay in bed and do nothing all day. I have not had a free day since like i don't even know. Not that like everything I have to do isn't fun. Like I like all the family things and things with my friends i enjoy but its just like every minute there is something that needs to be done or somehwere I have to be. I just want a day where noone even talks to me. I can't be everywhere at once and get everything done. I am stressed and stretched to the max!

Christmas got more exciting...

...in a purely gift getting way! Last night after work I was sitting and talking to my mom and she asked "what are you going to get with the money we gave you". And I was like "you didn't give me any money" and she was like "yes we did, there was a check in an envelope in the one box" and I was like "really?" Sooo needless to say after searching through some boxes we found a pretty generous check. She was like didn't you tihnk your christmas was lacking and your brother got more (cuz he got money for a Wii) but I seruisly did not. I was super happy. LIke seriuosly loved my gifts more than most years in recent memories. I really like everything I got and felt totally fine. It really did shock me cuz normally i would think my brother was getting better treatment but i relaly didn't notice. So anywho , how exciting to get this extra gift after I already thought I had a great christmas!!!

P.S. My life is complete because I got season 5 of Dawsons' Creek and so now own the complete series and speical final episode DVD. I can die a happy man

Merry Christmas :wireless edition

FIRST OFF MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
This was supposed to be my first post from my labtop with my new wireless router I got from my uncle for christmas today. But alas I am not tech savy at all and could not figure out how even to start the cd, like it made me choose a network router or something and I had no idea, and then it wouldn't close and messed up my computer. But I think my computer is ok but the wireless is not happening. (e:paul) will have to fix it tomorrow when he comes over for christmas....

...while trying to set it up I came across PeeWee's Playhouse on tv. Wowser that show is crazy. I relaly forgot how crazy it is. As an adult it seems way crazier. ANd so random going from one ting to the next. This episode had not only Laurence Fishburne, Annette Funnicelli and Little Richard but ALSO CHER!!! Seruiosly it is only like 5 minutes into the episode and thye have all been on already. It is crazy! i FORGOT WHAT A STAR POWERHOUSE SHOW IT WAS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

P.S. Since I wrote this K.d. lang has showed up on the same episode.
P.P.S Charo just arrived
