that's really kind of an interesting contradiction... the fact that they can't spell "back to school" anymore.
anyway, i'm back, and school is where i'm at.
i live here:
10266 Laker Lane
Allendale, MI 49401
mail me things that won't explode or set off a metal detector. the anthrax i'll deal with.
good to see everyone's still alive. and i figured it was high time i asserted my own continued existence.
but i'm tired. and i have lots of homework already. and i'm trying to clean. and it's just not working out. but school is fun dammit. i'm busy this weekend. why do i do this to myself?
goodnight.

man. so, i've been working on getting the truck ready. i took the cap off today. it looks better without it, but i need to put it on, so that way our stuff stays dry while we're camping, and so it doesn't blow away in transit. but it's pretty badass right now. and it's more fun to drive. i'm enjoying it, anyway. but the neighborhood nazis are sure to not be crazy about the truck cap now sitting on our front lawn, so i have to be quick about this. but it can't go back on until i wash the truck, fix the license plate lights, and replace that plate glass window on the front of the cap. which is proving to be a bigger bitch than i first anticipated. i can't even find a damn window to put in. lowe's said that they could have me one for 62 dollars, in about a month and a half. i basically gave them the finger and left. except, without giving them the finger. but i'm going to get up tomorrow morning and cruise plainfield looking for a hardware store. there's bound to be one somewhere. hopefully they can hook me up with some plexi and i'll be able to rig a setup to fit it into the opening. and there was this nasty-ass tar sealing the old window frame to the cap. it got all over my hands, and on my toe, and on the floor of the garage. sticky as shit. but i'm better now.
kevin is coming over tomorrow night. it's been awhile since i've had my fix. i asked mom for some booze. we'll see if that happens or not. either way it's bound to be a riot. but i'm feeling much more comfortable with my alcohol situation, which is good. i'm not so nervous all the time about it.
lifted weights tonight. that was a good time. we hit 'em pretty damn hard. i'll be sore tomorrow, but it feels good. i'm gonna try and bench 250 on thursday. wish me luck. that's pretty fraggin' heavy. but i did 245 tonight without too much trouble, so i'm feeling good.
now i have to go to bed, dammit.
be tired!

i updated myspace. because i'm a loser, and i had nothing better to write about since last night.
went to church like i said i would. went out on the boat like i said i would.
we went to aunt sally and uncle gerry's cottage. i had forgotten how nice it is up there. i just love it. and the water was so warm. i was sad we didn't have more time to go swimming. but it was nice just to get out on the boat. and apparently i have all of these reputations that precede me.
and i have this problem with finding these really cute shirttail cousins, which it kind of weirds me out that they're cute. and i sometimes get the vibe like they think i'm cute too, and they're just as freaked out about it as i am. it's interesting.
speaking of which, apparently i'm somehow distantly related to emily rowe. i thought that was interesting. and again with the cute cousins. meh, whatev.
time to go do something not at all productive, until i pass out.

i love hudsonville ice cream. i like it better than plainwell ice cream.
primarily because i've never had plainwell ice cream, but secondarily because i grew up on hudsonville, and tertiarily because i like to tease shannon.
time for bed. setting my alarm for 9:30. hope i wake up.

ever since saturday, my sleep schedule has been all fucked up.
i mean, it was well worth it, but still. i'd like the turbulence to stop now.
i'm setting my alarm for tomorrow morning. hopefully i'll get into bed at a reasonable hour tomorrow night, and back into the swing of things by thursday. or i'll just keep on keepin' on.
tomorrow i have to make a couple of phone calls, and drive out to allendale to pay my rent.
blarg.

seriously guys. please take the initiative to not make stupid spelling and usage mistakes. it's aggravating. i don't expect perfection. hell, i know my journal is all wrong most of the time. but at least i try. i see so many people not caring, and thus, not trying. it makes me sad.
i had a good weekend. saturday night i had dinner at panera with shannon. after dinner, we went to my dad's new house and changed the oil in the truck, fixed the tail light, carried the filing cabinet downstairs (holy god was that thing ever heavy. it is never leaving that basement), and walked to the ice cream place. then we came back to mom's and watched 'the producers'. i enjoyed it. not that we were paying all that much attention. then we had a nice long talk. it was very emotionally draining, but well worth it. i think we got to sleep somewhere around six.
sunday we lazed around the house in the morning. we went to meijer. i got some essentials. then we went to dinner at the fondue place by celebration. it was expensive, but it was flippin' sweet! the food was absolutely amazing, the ambience was spot-on, the waitstaff were all very relaxed and cordial. they had about seventeen pages of wine selections, all of which i was too young and too poor to try. perhaps when i'm older and wealthier we can go back. that would be fun. or we could find new different places. that would be fun too.
after that we went fishing. after fishing, we went straight to bed. i was pooped. and then this morning we just lazed around the house again until i had to go to work.
i missed kevin, but apparently they practiced yesterday. i'm a slacker with a girlfriend.
it was a good weekend. i have to pay my rent this week. and get some gas. so, that should cost me over 400 dollars. good thing i made over 400 dollars last week. damn.

i was going to take a picture of my scruff before i shaved, but alas, i can't find my camera.
and i need to shave. so, it's going. bye bye. it only took two weeks, so i figure if i dedicated a solid month, it could be a full-fledged beard. however, i hopefully will never have to go a month without seeing shannon, and i will shave for her, so... there you have it.
libby just made me a mad lib. it was delicious.

so, i worked ten hours tonight. which means several things:
- OVERTIME!!!
- didn't get to talk to shannon.
- got out at 1am (which is just depressing).
but OVERTIME!
i'm trying to milk it for all it's worth, since it's the only positive aspect of the situation, and i really need the money.
