I'm thankful for many things, but I wanted to say thank you to all of you on estrip today. I'm really glad that I joined this site a year and a half ago. You've made me think, you've made me laugh, and you've really given me so good advice and helped me through some rough times. Even though I don't know most of you well, I wish I did.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Jess

bad luckCategory: tech
In the course of the past two weeks, I've had some misshaps. My computer has died (all files gone and unrecoverable). I lost my USB drive in the library today with my school files. Some were saved in another place, some not. My attendance files for the TA class are gone, though I saved most of the paper records for it. My TV stopped working. My DVD player no longer works.
I guess I wasn't suited for a world of techology, heh.

An EMP blast could do it also, but that would (at least in movies and tv) kill the power on everything. I'm guessing as said below or is that above that it was a power surge of some kind. Or maybe a fuse blew somewhere cause for a DVD player and TV to stop working at the same time never happens the odds are so of that happening unless something else happens to effect both of them.

A power surge or well placed lightning bolt can often kill multiple devices in a short period of time.

I just got off the phone with divine Human Resources. They informed me that Tiamat has been reassigned to the position of techno god. So you will want to direct your sacrifices to her.

I think so. Maybe I need to give them an offering of some sort.

my phone call from Bill ClintonCategory: dating
I received a message on my answering machine from Bill Clinton the other day, endorsing a candidate for Erie County Executive. Heh. Unfortunately, I forgot all about registering to vote in Albany.
Anyway, I had a great time visiting Aaron this past weekend! I got to meet his sister and her husband. We all went out for coffee, and I thought it went really well. Later, his mom made us Spaghetti and Cheesecake for dinner. I just really enjoyed all the time I got to spend with Aaron. I'll have to post some pictures up soon.

I had a call from him as well as Hillary, Byron Brown, Keane's wife, Schumer, and three other nobodies all telling me to vote for Keane. Ridiculous.

heartbreak evenCategory: dating
I was thinking about the link that (e:joshua) posted on dating.
With Aaron, I would say that I fit under number 2. I keep my distance at times because I somehow expect him to change. He told me recently that he loved me, but I keep expecting some kind of catch. That always seems to always be the case. I've gotten to the point where I just don't trust well that things could work out with anyone. It's not fair in the slightest, because he's such a terrific person, and so good to me, and I am feeling the same way about him.
Anyway, enough of that. I'm leaving in a few minutes to visit Aaron for the weekend, so that will be nice.

in one way or another everyone puts distance between themselves. we just have varying degrees of severity and how long we let it continue. no one wants their heart trampled on so we take measures to prevent that. what i discovered is that i became so emotionally distant, it literally felt like my heart had shriveled up inside me, just like the grinch. i wasn't sure i knew 'how' to love anymore. it was a miserable time for me and it took a looooong while to regain a smidge of trust in people. don't let it happen to you.

that is always a hard thing to try not to do. It is easy to stay distant so that you can't get hurt but if you really like someone you just gotta let them in and hope for the best. I hope everything goes ok and you don't get hurt!

I have to say, nothing he will do can change the feelings of inadequacy that you feel. One of the lessons I've learned is that you cannot be unfair to somebody because of something that you've been through in the past... although I say its perfectly okay to demand a certain level of mutual respect. I say, enjoy yourself, enjoy him and forget about worrying if its going to work out or not. Ultimately it will or it won't, but don't sabotage yourself in the process! Take those negative thoughts out of your head and enjoy what it is that you have. If it doesn't end up working out, thats perfectly okay and doesn't necessarily say anything about you at all.

before halloweenCategory: life
I hope that the estrip party will go great! I wish I could be there. Post lots of pictures! *grins*
I'm moving on Monday. There was an unexpected opening in one of the on-campus apartments in Empire Commons. It's closer to everything, and somewhat less expensive than what I'm paying now. I don't have a lease on my current apartment. So i think that should be a good change. My dad offered to come up and help me move.
I don't really have any fun plans for Halloween. To be honest, I don't really know anyone here too well yet. I mean, there's people in my classes that I talk to when I'm around school- but I haven't been out with them outside of school. I'm kind of shy around people I don't know well, so it's hard for me to go up to people sometimes.
I am going to Brockport to see Aaron next Friday. I'm so excited!
