went to the hookah lounge again tonight. hung out with rob. probably go up there tomorrow and play for awhile. i'm super excited about that.
winter camping thurs/fri/sat
move in sunday. class monday.
this is happening so fast. but since i know i'm not going to be ready, i'll simply prepare for my unpreparedness... which requires a surprising amount of advance preparation.
i watched the road runner dvd today. that was good. bugs bunny will be a good one too, i'm sure. i'd like to see marvin the martian and "hossenfeffer" and all those old things. it was fun to see speedy. and like i said, coyote today. and foghorn leghorn. and pepé. oh, so good.
maybe i'll remember to bring the lappy tomorrow or something. i have to get a bunch of stuff i've forgotten at kevin's. my blanket, sweater, cell phone, bag of candy, shock mount, etc.
i'm such a doof.
NOW GET TIRED, DAMN IT!
g'night.

teh '06
well, as in a birthday, the new year doesn't feel any different. i mean, there are phases and horizons and beginnings and endings all the time. and no calendar can dictate when and where and why, as far as i'm concerned. but still, i'm looking forward to experiencing new things, and many of them are bound to happen at some point during 2006. but i have no idea what they are, who they involve, or precisely when they will happen. but i suppose that's the fun of it.
spent the weekend at kevin's. that was a blast, but i got kinda pissed at his dad. i'll try not to take it personally. i half-installed his cd-spieler, which i'd rate around 90% complete, but he's happy and that's what counts. and honestly, it was a fairly clean install... just not complete. i'm definitely getting better at it, slowly but surely. and the wiring junk was fun. dad said it sounded like he had factory "premium sound", hence all the bullshit. but the 6disc changer i'm half certain was aftermarket. it could really be either, i suppose.
i went to hunter's last night, and we talked for like 2 hours. i've never connected with anybody like that before, other than my dad. and it was just so different and so amazing, and i really want to do it again. i know, make your gay jokes, i'm totally setting myself up for them. but i mean this very seriously. i mean, c'mon, the kid's dad committed suicide. i'm not gonna start laughing about that shit. but it was just amazing. and he's helping me realize my own genius, but at the same time, he's even more brilliant than i could ever be, so it keeps my ego in check. it doesn't make me superior to the rest of the world. just different. and i think i like different. and all the different kinds of ingenuity there are. it's just so cool.
it's bedtime soon. a little more surfing to do, but i'm more or less finished.
possibly hookah bar tomorrow. rob's back in town. winter camp this week.
good things to look forward to. oh, i got some of my books today too. i'll have to go to ubs and brian's for the rest. meh.
g'night!

We were talking wedding ideas. YAY. It's just a grand feeling. My mom is excited. We were talking about her wedding and stuff and what we're going to do in Char's and mine. We have to reserve the place of the reception in a few months, and we don't even know where it's going to be! haha.
In other news, dad and mum went to look at the new corvette z-06 today! Ours is coming in a couple months. Canary yellow! Woohhhh!
It's got a display that shows up on the windshield that shows your speed and how many g's you pulled. And a navigation screen, bose system, and dvd player. We don't need a dvd player though...that's stupid. I'm excited!

well, i guess i made the dean's list at school for the fall semester. here are the stats:
Communications: A
German: A-
EuroCiv 215: B
EuroCiv 216: A-
GPA: 3.608
okay, lumping christmas and birthday gifts into one (because i'm a materialistic prick...) here's the final tally:
jones soda holiday pack
various assortment of planters nuts
a collection of su doku puzzles
an electric razor (not a beard trimmer... but a real live shaver-shaver)
the worst-case scenario survival handbook: extreme edition
an aluminum water bottle (for winter camp)
an led flashlight (winter camp)
plier/ratchet multi-tool thing.
black and white plaid pajama pants (SCORE!!!)
some real winter gloves
a digital camera keychain (supposedly it really works... we'll try that out later)
a krispy kreme t-shirt & gift certificate from libby.
a travel alarm clock (WTF?! meh, whatever. bruce likes getting us useless stuff and then watching us try to pretend to be excited. he just thinks it's funny. i just get kind of annoyed.)
printer/scanner/copier with ink and set of USB adapters/cables
a bath sheet and matching hand towel. (SCORE AGAIN! DOUBLE TRUE!!)
a tin of popcorn with poker chips and cards on top (again, why? it's the thought that counts, right?)
ratcheting box wrenches for the car (on a scale of one to awesome, these are FREAKIN' SWEET!)
a pair of pro mark TX2BW drumsticks. yummy. with a gift certificate to guitar center. from grandma wright.
a couple of gift certificates to kohls (i guess that's why i didn't get much in the way of clothes this year)
and a whole bunch of dvds:
- queen: live at wembley stadium
- Experience Jimi Hendrix (a british documentary... should be interesting and cool)
- the ladies' man (to replace my scratched copy)
- office space: special edition, with flair (i still haven't seen it yet. giddy though)
- napoleon dynamite (oh, c'mon. self-explanatory awesomeness)
- the 40 year-old virgin (YES! YESS!! YESSS!!!)
- life of brian (date with the goyles, fo sho)
- Looney Tunes - Golden Collection: Vols. I & II (dad said there's a vol. III, but we'll wait a bit on that one. this is 8 discs of pure comedic ecstasy / nostalgia!!! i'm never leaving the house again.)
CDs:
311 - Music
311 - don't tread on me
and today i bought myself some new blank CDs, and SOAD - hypnotize. which i really like.
i'm sure there's more i'm forgetting.
went to the hookah bar, then morningstar, with kevin and teh fil. that was lots of fun. coffee and smoking; pretty hard to go wrong. and we also played a game of pool, which i won. but kevin really should've, i was not on my game, but still, it was good. come to think of it, i won euchre against him at the coffeehouse too. damn, now i feel bad.
i hate how now that christmas is over, everyone simply looks to the next holiday. maybe if people didn't start with christmas as soon as they were finished giving thanks, they wouldn't be so hot to get a move on.
i'm still celebrating, dammit! :)
love you guys. seriously. just keep it on the dl. we don't want to ruin my tough-guy image.

Oh man I love my job.
I absolutely love where I work! It's so exciting and awesome. I never thought I'd find a job I'd love so much. I'm always learning something new. And I'm usually always traveling. I feel like I'm going somewhere. I probably sound dumb but I don't care. This is what happened today:
I was sent on a party for 14 w/Jackie and Wendy. We went to Alticor in GR. (They are the world headquarters for Amway and Quixstar). We thought it was only a board meeting but it was a Christmas party. When we got there we were sent to the Main office. It said "World Headquarters" on the door. And everything inside was SOOOOO nice. Holy crap. So we got all our stuff and went into the elevator. Inside there were buttons for the 1st and 2nd floor, and we need a special code for the 3rd floor. It was the executive board room. We got to work in a little kitchen and the whole floor was extravagant. Everything was nice. The board room looked really cool. And guess who showed up!? Mr. DeVos and Mr. VanAndel!!! They told us "Wonderful job on the luncheon!" and they said thank you a lot. They were pleased. It was really cool.
Applause caters to their houses too. And oh man, is it awesome. I guess they've done a party there before w/9 staff and everyone got $100 tips. Another guy I work with did a party last week and left w/ a $200 tip.
I probably sound like a dork but it's okay. I just am really excited to be where I am right now.
Anyway, not a whole lot happening besides doin' parties at work and hangin' out with Char. I still need to wrap all the Christmas presents! It came so fast this year.

It's been a really crazy week. I got in an accident on Wednesday night, that was scary. I had to sit in the back of a state's car. We're replacing our carpet right now. It's a major hassle. hahaha. I worked on Thursday. A party at Fredrick Meijer for 300. Plated salads and desserts. It was fun. Except I had to drive back to Applause to grab something and the weather was bad, and it was the night after the accident so I was scared. Friday I went to Char's work's Christmas party. It was fun! We ate then went bowling. Last night Char and I made cookies and watched March of the Penguins and stuff. We're getting closer to being finished decorating our tree. Eh I better go help.

i like books
i hung out with the gals last night. we went shopping at the mall and stuff. it was really quite fun. but we stayed up a little too late.
i think we went to bed at like 4... and got up at like 9, for breakfast. and i didn't sleep very heavily (probably because i was on the floor). ellen left for home at like 10:30. katie leaves tomorrow at noon. i'll probably leave in a few minutes.
or whenever i get off my lazy ass and get around to it.
it's probably bad that i'm such an open book. certain things shouldn't be said, yet i still say them. sometimes it's funny, but when you need to be serious... well, i'm just not your man, i guess.

Oh my! I am so excited. I just had a really good idea. I'm hanging out w/Becca after class tonight. I am going to get something stupendous. I just finished my menu project and it was kind of nerve-racking. I really am excited about getting a new phone. Even though I don't need one. And I just got one a little while ago... Maybe I won't get a new phone. I'll have to look at Randi's a little more. I'm gonna see my boy tomorrow! YAY!
AND
I saw JENNA!!! hehehe :-)
Some guy is playing Usher on his phone down the hall...... uhhhh.
Well I'm gonna go get some subway because I'm just standin here in the hall. I have my Bus. Eng. Final tonight!!!!! AHHH

penguins:
"Penguins shoot their poop appx 3 feet.
But once a year they hold an annual poop shoot fair and all the penguins gather to shoot their poop.
The penguin record for poop shooting is 11 feet, 3 inches, held by an emperor penguin which was rumored to have been fed White Castle for the week prior to the event."

that pretty much sums it up right there. i spent a lot of time studying with ellen. i got to talk to katie 1 on 1 for awhile too. and i did laundry. all in all, it was productive and i enjoyed myself. let's hope tomorrow proves to be similar. i'm debating on whether or not i should set my alarm. i'm leaning towards no.
and i'm really thinking about a nice long walk through the scenic parts of campus. yepper. that's sounding super-fantabulous.
g'night.

i realized that i totally ragged on everyone who commented on my last entry. sorry, i know you were just trying to help, and i shot you all down. apologies. i'm just more than a little frustrated... whether it's with myself or with the situation. i really do appreciate the thoughts and help. it has not fallen on deaf ears, however deaf they may appear to be.
in other news, i just got my ass reamed at book buyback. seriously. i took 4 or 5 books from my HNR 215 class and got approximately $12. i paid like $50 for them USED! expensive lesson... but valuable.
and it helped to talk to hunter. i'm not going to cram. i'm not even going to study. i'm simply going to refresh my memory, and that will be enough. i've never studied for a test before in my life. why start now? i'm telling you. that kid is pure, undiluted genius. i need that from time to time. or all the time.
oke doke. almost done with school. time for lunch now...

due to popular complaint about my previous ambiguity...
WARNING: SAPPY ROMANCE BULLSHIT (please stop reading if you don't wish to hear my current situation. i won't be offended, honest.)
there's this girl that lives in my dorm. her name is katie. i like katie... she's funny and smart and cute and all that good stuff. upon logical discussion of the situation... i was "friended" by katie... friended being the opposite of "girlfriended". which from a logical standpoint, makes sense. it would be silly to get in a serious relationship.
so, my brain is hunky dory. but the situation gives rise to some very intense, internal, emotional ruckus. pushing me a little closer to insanity than i already was to begin with (scary eh?).
and so, i just like hanging out with katie, which we did last night (but not alone). i just have a hard time coping with the feelings generally associated with hanging out with katie... or rather, once we're done hanging out, and i realize i have to go back to my bed and sleep and be lonely like.
to add to the awkwardness, last night hunter was trying to convince me i need to hook up with his ex-girlfriends twin sister. now, i'm not saying that's necessarily a bad idea. but emotionaly complex... especially when katie is sitting right there, asking me what i think.
so, obviously something needs to happen to me to make me stop liking katie like this, or to push katie and i together... which just doesn't make sense to do. and so, honestly, i really want to stop liking katie. but try as i might, it's not working.
so that's where we sit. hopefully this clears things up some, for those interested parties. and anyone who's not interested... then just ignore me already.
