I've added DeeAy to my links over there because I read her quite frequently and I meant to do that quite awhile ago. I'm lazy. Your point? Also in the lazy category is the fact that I haven't updated the menu on the rest of the pages of this site. If I had been smart when I made the site, I would've used some smart kinda programming jazzamarazz so I would only have to do it once, but I'm just not that smart. Sorry.

So mom and I purchased some hair today. I think it's neat. I like to call that my stripper ponytail.

I don't really understand my cats fear of inanimate objects, but there's a lot I don't understand about her. She eats with her paws and is painfully afraid of thunder. She's afraid of the rug in my moms bathroom. She stalks it like it's alive then jumps at it and runs away. Same with any pair of jeans that I leave crumpled on the floor. Not shirts or towels or anything. Just my jeans. Some nights I think she really believes my hand is an enemy. She attacks with vigor and bites the hell outta me. Other nights I can put my hand on her head and she lays down on it and falls asleep. I love her like a child, so I don't really care that she's a bit of a freak. It's just weird.
When I link what I see as new readers to the site, I tend to get sucked into my archives for a little while. I always want to make sure the site looks okay for the new readers. I don't know why. It's like cleaning up your little messes when someone calls and says, "Hey, I'm around the block and I'm going to stop in for a visit!" Anyway, I wish I hadn't, but I read my early 02 archives. What a huge mistake. It pisses me off so much that there is still hurt surrounding that situation. I wish it would just be gone forever. That was a year and half ago. Let's erase that already, ya know? Bah. Anyway, that was a depressing moment.

So my sister passed her golf test thing. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I know she beat a lot of boys and all the girls that were there. Big congrats to you sissy!

I know I've talked about Carter Finger a few times, but I just wanted to remind everyone. From what I read, I think he had stem cells injected to try to make more white blood cells? I'm not exactly sure. Anyway, right now they're waiting to see if that works. (And if that's not it exactly, they're definitely waiting to see his body react to something they did.) So, yeah, think about Carter a few times if you can. And his sister Mariah who probably misses her family being around all the time. And his parents, obviously. Many prayers to the Fingers.

Amanda, next time, I'll buy your plane ticket and you get to stay with them.

Today has been a little better. Waco the over excited, large lab is somewhat behaving.The weinie dogs are pretty calm. They've all eaten and are now outside playing. That has to be my favorite time. I'm going this afternoon to talk to the newspaper guy about this reporting job. I'll be damned sure to remember to close the door where my clothes are. The only real complaint I have is that I only end up with about 6 inches of bed because the dogs sleep RIGHT next to me. So I scoot over a little, they scoot over a little. Until I'm on the edge of the bed. Last night I woke up at least 4 times to move them to the middle of the bed so I wouldn't fall off. Their stinkin cold noses. While it's nice to have a tiny warm body next to me, I don't like the cold noses on my legs. Makes me jump a little. Anywho, I'm going to have me some lunch.

Okay there were some issues with the forum that was installed. I messed with it and upgraded and it seems to be doing a little better. If it breaks now, I don't give a good freakin shit about it, so this will be the last time you have to register. peace.

Day 2 2:15 pm
I went to lunch with my mom and my aunt. I was gone about an hour. I returned to a room full of confetti made out of the People magazine I was in the middle of reading, as well as the majority of my undergarments. There is a phone number here, afixed to the monitor. It's to the Humane Society. I'm deeply pondering turning myself in for what may happen to these dogs by Thursday evening.

So I'm dogsitting now. Last night I stepped outside to talk to a man about an addictive piece of paper that is rolled into a small cylinder and contains some tobacco product inside. While I was out there, I decided to close the front door, so the man I was speaking with wouldn't make the house reek. As soon as I closed the door I thought to myself, 'wouldn't it be funny if the door locked and I was stuck out here at 3 in the morning?' Then I thought to myself, 'no, that wouldn't be funny at all.' Of course I tried to open the door and of course it was locked. Now, I know the code to the garage, so I can get in there, but I knew I had locked the door in there, so my first thought was to try to fit into a doggy door. I was hoping that its dimensions would be a little larger than what our old catdoor was at home. When I was a freshman in high school, I could contort and squeeze myself through our old catdoor. Then my ass grew and that stopped, painfully. Needless to say, I looked once at the doggydoor and knew these hips were now prepared for childbirth, not contorting and squeezing. So I went into the garage, opened the little window on the door and pushed the screen through at the corner so I could unlock the door and get back inside.
This was only a few short hours into my doggysitting week. Then you have the precious puppy lab, who is now about 7 months old and is about my height when he stands on his hind legs (this is a very important detail if you know his attraction to me.) It's going to be a great week*.
*It's not going to be a great week.

I've gotten rid of the old forums and now have a new, more boring one. Update your links if you even know what a forum is. Mom, I'll show you how to do it when I get home.

I am very exhausted. I started waitressing last week and it's really giving me a workout. I like it a lot though. I'm also going to talk to the managing editor of the newspaper in Midland sometime next week about doing a reporting internship this summer. That ... is great news. I'm really excited about it. I'll fill in the details once I have them. Congrats to my step cousin and bride, Brett and Gerenda on their new baby boy!

Mom took a picture of me at the tournament Misti and I played in last weekend. Here's one of them. Notice the glowing red of my legs and arms. It felt nice.

Big Happy Birthday to Misti!
Now we are both at the big 2.5. I can't put them together. It's too big.

Tom on Metallica's upcoming album: "Of course I can smell what's coming. If the album sells less than they anticipate then it will be blamed on piracy (the piracy they think they're avoiding). If it breaks records it will be "blamed" on the DVD (saying they have to now bribe consumers to buy what they used to buy ordinarily). I can't help but wonder if it chaps the ass of the recording industry that now they have to include freebies from a (currently) more successful industry to entice people to come back to their product."
IMO, Metallica, other bands who are against piracy and the recording industry better find a way to come to grips with our abilities to get our greedy paws on their music. They're just as greedy and have been made millionaires over the last 20 years because of it. I have no qualms with knocking musicians' annual incomes down a few digits if it means I don't have to spend $15 to get a record. Legal or not, that's probably the general feeling of the public. Now, give me a few unknown bands whose music I think is great, I'll buy two copies of their albums to support them. I know the crap that unknowns go through and how sad their lives are. But Metallica? Ozzy? Eminem? I don't give two shits if they don't make their normal 7 digit number in a year. And if they want to whine about it, bite me. I don't even like their music, but everytime they bitch about it, I download a few of their songs just to piss them off.
