Went out to dinner with Mike tonight. Some Chinese Buffet place on West Main. Good food. Bought a wireless card for my computer. Just have to wait for Josh to sign up for the Internet so that works. Scrubbed the floors again, the house is starting to look clean. Just need to finish the ceiling in the bathroom. Scrubbing Bubbles really hurt when you get them in your eyes. Makes it very challenging to scrub a ceiling. Katie came and picked me up; we’re here at the BC right now. She liked the house, not sure if she was being polite or actually liked it. Gas prices shot up $.20 per gallon today. Just in time for my trip home. At least it’s only about $2 per tank full. Why are prices up here, when they keep saying on the news that prices are down everywhere?

Ok, this one turned out very true.
Gay/Lesbian movie! You love fooling around with the
same sex, so it's no surprise you'll be
starring in a gay porn flick. We all know you
"swing that way"...
What kind of porno would you star in?

After reading the descriptions I think Wolverine fits me better.
You are Rogue!
You are sexy and strong willed, and able to take on
just about anyone. You long for a serious
relationship, but whenever you begin to get
close to someone things always seem to take
turns for the worse. But you have dealt with
this lack of closeness with an almost constant
flirtacious behavior.
Which X-Men character are you most like?

Yup. It’s Thursday. I went to Katie’s place last night. She has some neat friends. I forget the name of the one that was really nice, but there was Kelly and Sarah too. They said that they have one rule at the house: you have to do a beer bong to enter. I did my first one of those, they congratulated me on my skill, I think that’s a compliment? I think the one girl that I liked would be a good match for Andy. Rachelle. That’s it. I probably spelled it wrong, but that’s my best guess. I scrubbed some today. Got some of the gunk off of the ceiling in the bathroom. One of the smoke alarms went off as I took a shower. That could get annoying. I got a reply from one of my job applications: sorry but the position has been filled. Please apply at our website to be considered for future job opportunities. Grr. So, I leave for home tomorrow. Not sure what time yet. We’ll see.

I’m in the mood for doing something. Too bad most of you are spread across the state now. I haven’t had the urge to get trashed for a while. But that’s here tonight. No supply and no money though. I think I might track down Katie tonight, see what she’s up to. So, Jeremy & Mel, I haven’t seen new entries in a while, how’s life going?

More random journals. I stumbled across this girls, she really sounds like a guy in the way she talks, and it's been really funny. Some people will find it offensive, which makes it funny that a girl is writing it.

Ok, here I am going through journals again. I stumbled across some girl's from a university in Carolina. Sort of interesting in how similar it is to ours. And after reading it I wonder what Thomas looks like, just me. Here's an interesting clip:
2. last night, i was in the bathroom at Carolina Coffee Shop and overheard a conversation consisting of "like, it's totally cool if you want to fuck him tonight, as long as i get him back for tomorrow" "oh wow girl, you are the best friend ever!" i left as quickly as i could and giggled over my L.I.T.

This was a reply to yesterday’s journal, but it ended up being more of a new entry. So, here it is.
Ok, here it is Wednesday. I moved all of my food and kitchen stuff into separate cupboards. Josh asked/stated before he ate my food today. I think the point got across. I really had to laugh when I took a shower. Apparently Josh doesn’t have any body soap. I saw my white bar of soap on the shelf. Just a side note for the rest of you: my white soap is the prescription stuff from the dermatologist that dries out your skin beyond belief. It’s meant for use on flat areas of non-sensitive skin. Meaning if you use it around the edge of your nose or any other place that is slightly sensitive, you are going to have dry and extremely scratchy skin. If he used that to wash his entire body, he’s going to have a hellish day. :-) Applied for another job this morning. No calls back yet. Five more days then I’ll make the call and ask for a favor. I’m in a good mood for some reason. I’m going to try the passive approach steer Josh into doing what he should. If he doesn’t catch on soon I’m going to just have to tell him. If he were a normal guy this would be so much easier. His personality is fragile and I offend him enough as it is, I’m trying to be polite. The politeness may stop, may not. I think the biggest thing will be how the house is when I come back from a weekend at home. I’m going back to get a chair, dresser, see some friends, and beg the parents for more cash. To whoever was organizing this Cedar Point getaway thing, when is it going to happen? Thanks for the advice guys!

Did more cleaning today. Scrubbed the kitchen cabinets and put contact paper in them. Got all of my stuff moved into the kitchen and organized. Took garbage out. Need to scrub the bathroom. That’s for later tonight though. Landlord stopped by and fixed a few things. Our deadbolts work now, the shower is actually a shower, the drain doesn’t leak in the cabinet, one of my windows is caulked, most of the blinds are replaced, and we now have lights outside the house.
Found Mel’s journal, interesting reading.
I think I’m going home this weekend. I grab my dresser and a chair for my room. See how much cleaning is necessary when I get back… Jason, you spoiled me for future roommates. That worked out way too well.
I do have a “new” truck though. That’s been good so far. Getting worse mileage than the last one though. Been carting Josh around because he doesn’t like his car. Going to have to put an end to that. I shouldn’t be wasting money on gas just because my vehicle is nicer. He totaled his first one, and bought the first one he found. It’s an old Cavalier station wagon, ready for the scrap heap.
I think today is going better than previous days. I’m in a slightly optimistic mood I think. We’ll see how long that lasts.

:: Mood: bitchy
:: Music: Nick Cave: Death Is Not The End
Warning: I’m in a bitchy mood and many of these comments are petty and should be ignored, I’m relieving frustration. This is probably the lowest and highest point in my life. I have my own place. I am not under the supervision of WMU or my parents. I wish I had picked a better place. My room is ok; the purple is less purple with stuff in it. The plants helped too. I need to bring more though; I only have about eight right now. I did some more shopping yesterday. I got food so I wouldn’t have to eat McDonalds total bill $88. Went to K-Mart and got stuff that Josh wouldn’t. $37. Total credit card bill for this month: $1035.79, plus $250 on another one. I need a job. I went around applying yesterday again. Stopped by Menards they said that they were going to wait until they got more applications and then talk it over with the managers who to hire. I filled out that stupid application. It only has my name, address, phone number, and school. No references, no nothing. What in the hell can you idiots discuss over who you want to hire?! Went to Stryker too. A temp agency was hiring for them, I was turned away when they found out I’m a student. WHAT THE HELL? I’m attempting to get a college degree what is wrong with that? I listened to people’s interviews as I waited. Some of these people are complete idiots. Some were applying for management positions. Hello, it’s a temp agency and the ad said that they were hiring for PRODUCTION. Other people couldn’t even fill out the application correct. Please tell me why a person with twice the intelligence of those is not qualified for the job? Not even fucking McDonalds is hiring. I might just call dad and have him call Charlie so I get the job at Menards. But, I’m not sure how the management would feel if they were told to hire a person by a member of the Menard family. I’ll wait until this coming Monday and if I don’t have anything yet, then I’ll call. Ok, now roommate frustrations. Both Josh and Jay showed up two days late. So, all of the utilities (gas, water, & electricity) are in my name. Jay isn’t going to be here for the summer so it’s up to me and Josh to get the house in working order. So far I have been the only one to clean and Josh isn’t doing a very good job of keeping it that way. Also, I’ve been buying stuff for the house, the last few things I told Josh to get and intentionally did not buy because I’ve spent so much so far that he is not willing to help with. Last night I broke down and went shopping. This morning I wake up and all the groceries I have bought are moved into his cupboard. These are the groceries that I spent money on so I could eat not you. Stuff that I was going to leave on the shelf for later unopened is already opened. Isn’t it a rule of thumb with your roommate’s food that if it’s already open it’s ok to take some as long as you give back somehow in the long run? With Jason and I there was some sort of understanding. I think overall I took advantage of him, but I did try and restock his shelf, buy my own groceries, and offer money when he came back with groceries. Also why are you still using my toothpaste go out and buy your own. Josh brought a guy home Sunday night. They were watching a movie loudly so I shut off my music, so that the sounds didn’t cross over. Then when their movie ends the sex starts. Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t you know the person a little better before the sex starts? I mean, I have never heard the guys name before and last night, one night later he is complaining to me about some other guy. Josh, you’re really a slut. Yesterday morning Josh was mad because I was taking a bath. He didn’t say what time he needed the bathroom to get ready for work. Also, go downstairs; there is a SECOND bathroom. Oh, and there’s Jay too. Really nice guy, if he were here he would be helping with the cost and the fixing of the house. But he’s at home for the summer because he has a job there. Also there is this whole sexual assault charge against him. Supposedly he molested his boyfriends little brother as he slept. How does the kid know it happened if he was sleeping? Maybe it’s true, but from what I know of Jay it’s not. Hopefully it doesn’t end up with him in jail. I have no clue what we would do with our lease then. I’m sure I’ve forgotten annoying things but, I feel a little bit better after doing this venting. Oh well, once we get in our routines things should get better.

What Pattern Are You?
Desire, the fifth of The Endless, yours is the
realm of lust, want, passion, and, of course,
desire. You tend to be selfish, only concerning
yourself with your own needs, and you have no
scruples about using your absolute draw over
the opposite sex to get your way. You love
being around people, because it's never long
before they give in to your will.

I was going to random journals and found this:
Great e mails from funny people:
With all of this talk of war, many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001, and those who support terror.
These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:
1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people
who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.
2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose.
3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.
4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a nonviolent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.
5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.
6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the nose.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.
8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost.
We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose.
Lesson over, class dismissed

So, yup, it’s Sunday. Here I am in the BC because we don’t have Internet yet. I got my new phone number memorized. My room is basically done. I just mopped it again this morning so it would be clean before I move stuff in. It still reeks of paint, but hopefully that goes away. I can’t think of anything else, but oh well. Hopefully one of the places that I applied at calls tomorrow.

Yay, I got a phone. I sent all of you the number and my address. Not sure if I like T-Mobile yet. It dropped the call as I was driving to Mike’s house. Not exactly the middle of nowhere. Good sound quality though, and strong signal at my house. I got the T68i. I wanted that color screen. I really paid for it too. Oh well, I have two weeks to decide if I like it or not. The water was turned on today. I got to take a shower for the first time in a few days. It was hard though, no shower curtain so I had to angle the head at the wall and try not to splash. I’m almost done painting my room. That stupid purple paint from Menards doesn’t cover very well. I guess I’m going to go for the uneven look. Just have the baseboard left and then I can move my stuff in. I’m going to apply for jobs tomorrow now that I have a phone number to list on the application. I have to buy tickets to the Blues Clues thing at Miller too. My brother, his wife, and son are coming down for that. Should be entertaining, I hope. I think that’s it for tonight.

They’re here. Jay and Josh finally got here today/tonight. I began painting my room with the paint that I had the guy at Mendards match to my sheet. It doesn’t match. My walls are dark purple. GRRR. Jason, you should have stayed working here. I went and ordered a phone, it comes in tomorrow. Expensive, but I get something small enough for my pocket with a color screen. Went to dinner with Jay, Josh, and Bobby. Water gets turned on tomorrow, and then I can take a shower. I really need one after painting. My face is covered it white speckles. I’ll actually be able to use my own bathroom too! Can’t think of much else. Night.

Tuesday is almost over. All moved in. I attempted to go to the rec. Our water isn’t on yet so I figured I would take a shower there. Guess what, the rec is only open to students enrolled for the current semester. I would have to buy a membership if I wanted to go in, what a rip off. So I made another trip to Mike’s house and borrowed his shower. Then we went back to my place, picked out which room for me, and then went and bought paint. White trim and blue walls, although only the ceiling and part of the trim are painted so far. Attempted to get my Michigan drivers license for residency purposes, I need three forms of ID. My driver’s license works for one. Have to get a passport and my birth certificate just to get a stupid drivers license. What and the hell do I need with a passport if I’m trying to declare residency in Michigan? Anyway. Took Mike to dinner for his troubles, Taco Bell. I was starting to feel like I’m imposing on Mike. He’s been helping so much. He hasn’t said no yet and has offered so much, but I feel as if he’s doing too much. Some of this stuff my roommates should be helping with, but they haven’t arrived yet. Anyway, I am very grateful for your help Mike. Thanks.

Ok, here I am in Kalamazoo. I’m in the Bernhard Center with Mike. Woke up this morning to pack and it’s pouring rain. So I can’t just run stuff around. I back my truck up to the garage and fully unload it. Then I back up the new one and start packing that up. Finally 1.5 hours after I planned on leaving, I’m off. There was a lot of road construction making the trip even slower. I get here assuming Josh would be at the house like he said. Nope. Nobody. And I got here 15 minutes after the landlord left so I can’t get my key. Anyway, went to Walmart, Arby’s, and CD Warehouse with Mike and here I sit… Tomorrow’s another day.

Saturday. I actually slept in today. Woke up at 12:30. Mom was on the phone when I woke up. Her conversation ended about an hour after I got home tonight after 7:30. How can women talk on the phone that long? She had to transfer handsets because the battery went dead. Anyway, went to a gun show with my dad. Didn’t buy too much, just a few parts. Then I went in search of a computer desk. Why are these things so expensive? It’s just stupid particle board with a plastic coating to make it look like real wood. I could get a cheap one for $50-70 but those look so unstable and have so little space. To get the one I want I have to spend about $200 and then I still have to get a chair. Credit cards come in so handy sometimes. I should really stop relying on them. Watched two movies tonight. The Four Feathers was actually really good. I expected something much different. Also saw The Legend of Wolverine. It was just a string of the old cartoons put together, still good. Two more days and I move into my house...

So, life in Wisconsin. I’ve spent the last two days working on a farm. Planted 8,000 trees. It’s not too much fun riding around in a little cart behind a tractor planting those stupid trees as it drives along. And all of those roots getting stuck together making it move even slower. Grrrr. I have seen a few movies lately. On Sunday there was Jackass and Red Dragon. Jackass was surprisingly good. I think I was just in the mood for a dumb movie. Red Dragon was pretty good too, although I was expecting something more scary. Tonight there was Maid In Manhattan and The Knockaround Guys. Maid In Manhattan was weird just because the main guy was the crazy guy in Red Dragon, good for a romantic comedy though. The Knockaround Guys was decent for an action movie. It didn’t look so good in the beginning but I started to like it as it went on. I would like to have been in “Matty’s” position. In the end he and Vin Diesel leave in a van together to start a new life. I think the idea was that they were friends and getting away from shit there, but I can hope right?
I looked at my grades too. :-(

Last night in the dorms. Went to some Thai/Chinese place with Mike and Jeremy. Good food, bad location. Why put a restaurant in the Maple Hill Mall? Then we went wandering the Crossroads Mall. I made one observation: it could have just been this night, but the scenery at the mall isn’t nearly as good as it is at WMU. Then “The Transporter” was viewed. Walter joined us for the viewing as well as Katie for part of it. Really funny movie even if it isn’t supposed to be. It makes a really good start to my DVD collection. I hope it grows quickly, although not as much as Jason‘s. Then after everyone left to pack or sleep the weirdest thing happened. Phil came over. I put the movie in for the second time and packed while Phil was watching it. There was the occasional bit of conversation during the movie, I could have been his friend had I got to know him. He’s actually a really neat guy. I wished I’d learned that before the last night. Overall sort of a slow last night.
This morning was not nearly as slow. I wake up at 6 am for my checkout time of 11:15 am. I am half and hour late checking out. I really wish those girls had not left and would have let me put stuff in the basement like had been agreed. It made for some interesting packing. Mike was nice enough to take a refrigerator for a while, which I packed as full of stuff as I could. The rest fit in my truck. When I say fit, maybe that isn’t the best word. I had to sit on the left side of the drivers seat because the right side was taken up by some stuff. Not fun for 7.5 hours. I just kept finding more stuff to put in. It was hard to clear a path across the front seat so I could see the passenger side mirror so I could make it though all of the traffic. Traffic was ok though cruise was set around 85 most of the way.
This all ended too soon. Time to start over. Year number three.

Ok, I’m home. It is nice to see my puppies. Dad too. Mom’s already getting on my nerves. Nine more days then I move into the house. Should be interesting. Three gay guys whose names begin with J. We’re really going to confuse the neighbors. I’m really looking forward to the change of pace. Dorm life was fun, but two years was enough for me. I’m not sure how this house thing is going to go. I’m actually sort of nervous. I’m also anxious so we’ll see how it goes.
