First, a boy emailed me on my myspace. Who on further investigation turned out to be the same boy that drunkenly hit on me on St. Pat's day. He didn't know it. Very funny. And when I apprised him of the situation, he said "I knew you looked familar. That just goes to prove that I have great taste in women even when destroyed. Yesss!" I thought that was cute.
Next: new favorite dinner (nothing original, but I love it):
fresh mozzarella (the tiny "pearlini" version from wegman's olive bar)
grape tomatos, halved
fresh basil, coarsely chopped
splash of olive oil
lots of lemon juice
tiny bit of balsamic
lots of salt and pepper
yum yum so good I had to share. And am off to make more.

I need a life. (or: boohoohoo poor me)Category: blaaahhhh
Well last night was a big bust again, as usual.
I had been looking forward to it for weeks... Finally a chance to go out drinking and stay out late and not have to get up early in the morning...
And I spent the night on my couch.
I wanted to sleep yesterday, so I wouldn't be too tired to go out. But I also wanted to go out and enjoy the weather. Ended up going for a walk with (e:ladycroft), and we ran into (e:mike). I think (e:mike) is my most common random peep sighting. :)
So I went for my walk. Came home. Cleaned up, did some cooking (with obligatory wine-drinking), got all dressed to go out... Started making some calls...
Called like 6 people to go out, but no one got back to me.
Or rather, when they did it was too late and they were drunk and I'd already fallen asleep. Literally all dressed up with nowhere to go, and I fell asleep on my couch. :( I guess it's my own fault for not having made more concrete plans in advance.
Oh well. I think I have another day off in 3 weeks or so. Maybe then people will go out with me. I just hope I don't spend my bday on the couch.

Lot of that going round. I was all set to play and was done in by a hockey game traffic jam. Sorry the wheels came off.

Hey don't feel bad, I stayed home last night as well. It must have been the rain or the realization that their budgets in the future are going to need some tweeking given the rising cost of fuel. From my buddy that did end up going out and calling me at 3:00am ( I live out in the boonies of Youngstown, How am I going to get out at that hour!!!) it was dead most everywhere and you didn't miss much. Heck, even Wegman's this afternoon seemed very slow.

i hate microsoftCategory: ie blows
Ok so I just lost another post b/c IE is misbehaving.
But bottom line of my long-winded message:
D'Brickashaw may be the MOST ridiculous name I have ever heard.
I thought it was a joke.
I googled it.
It's not.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Football player from virginia (or something.)
Why, WHY WHY oh WHY would you do that to your child?????
I don't get people sometimes.
Ok, off to the ER.
Later peeps.

And you can email your journal to (e:Strip), it will automatically get posted.
I use a program to post my journal. It automatically makes shit up and posts it. So if you read any raunchy stuff, it is the program and not sweet old innocent me...

Well you don't even need to open word or anything- just highlight the post and hit apple-C. or ctrl-c (or is it alt-c I don't know). then it's in the clipboard and you can paste it back if it's erased. But this time it opened a new link in my estrip window, instead of a new one, so I lost it. Didn't think to do a protective-copy first.

Yes, if you are at Spot you may see a Larson brother. Of course you are at the hospital all the time so maybe you won't.

When I used to have Aol it didn't agree with this site and the internet would crash so would lose stuff so I would use inernet explorer. But I found a way around this that only adds about 3 clicks. You can either open up word pad or mircosoft word and type out your journal. Then when you are done highlight it all and right click that sellect copy if you hit paste my mistake it is all lost. Then come to (e:strip) open up your journal and hit paste. I know it adds a little bit of time but it is better then writing a four or five paragraph thought process or maybe even a lot longer and having to redoit. I know I have lost some great writting on message boards that way, and was pissed.

I would try firefox, but all the computers at work are very restricted. No downloads/installs. No email. Fortunately they haven't caught on to estrip to block it.

When you asked about that in the chat, I thought that name was a last name, which I had never heard of it. Now knowing that is has been given as a first name, I am stumped. I wonder how/why that name came to be..?

rantrantrantCategory: abuse
Ugh.
I just got home from work. At 2am. Went in at 7am this morning.
Have to be back at 7am tomorrow- until noon on saturday.
They are killing me.
And taking a sick day/personal day/etc is not an option.
the thing is, one of the guys there until 2 with me had been there since 7am the day before: i.e. about 43 hours, and he has to be back at 7 tomorrow too. And the "boss" that had been in operating from 5am til 2am: well it was his 20th wedding anniversary, and he didn't see his wife for one minute of it.
So it's not just me that's getting screwed, but it's really wearing me down.
I know i know i chose this and there's no one to blame but me, but god it sucks. I love what I do, but not being abused like this.
the other thing is that it's totally illegal. And at $25,000 per violation, you'd think they'd be a little more careful to at least TRY. Like the other hospitals know we stay too late, but they yell at us about it. They know we're not supposed to be there. But tonight there was no apology, no thank you, no nothing.
Ok that's not true. I got half a hot dog from louie's.
Ok, considering my 30hr day starts in about 4hr I guess I should go to bed.
6wk down, 12 to go...
oh yeah- and maybe i'm just overtired and cranky, but i just got an email that someone left me a comment on myspace, and i checked it out- andrew wrote "go back to friendster, bitch!" Now, i'm all for friendly ribbing and stuff, but there's nothing to that to even hint that's it's a joke. I assume it is, but I don't really see the point. I think he probably just wants to see if i reject the comment or not. stupid.

yeah i think you do have to be friends to leave comments- this guy is a friend- on myspace and in real life. which is why his comment is even more weird.

metalpeter - 01/13/06 19:08
That is odd. I thought that to leave a comment on someones page you had to be one of there friends. I have tried to leave comments on non friends and it didn't let me. Maybe some day I'll run into you on myspace.

secretsCategory: quickie
Going to be late for work; but-
For the record, I am not a fan of high-schoolish drama and secrets either. However I did have my reasons for remaining partially hidden that I can't/won't go into here.
Just in case anyone was wondering.
Have a great day peeps!

is that aged balsamic or straight up?
can't wait till august.
yum.. I buy a similar concoction from one of the salad/meditteranean bars. I'm thinking it is even better when you can make it to your liking. I am definitely growing basil this season..
