a day after prom, a girl in my class passed away on her way to church...

i wasn't real great friends with her, but i knew her enough to be affected. all the guidence councelers and teachers giving somber lechtures for an entire day kinda depressed the hell out of me.

she sat right in front of my in my anatomy/physiology class, and me and her were reciting a portion of a play that we were assigned to read to the class. i never really thought much about her, and how she acted until she was gone, but she was always a happy person. as i look back on this year i can remember her always being happy/positive...

and after all the 'words of caution' we have every year before prom, and of all the people for this to happen to, she died when her boyfriend crashed on the way to church.

it just makes me realize, that, since this is the first classmate of mine to die (my older brother had 4 or 5 of his classmates die before he graduated from high school) we (as a class of 2005) are not invincible. we can fall, we can lose just as much as everyone else. i just never really concidered death, because most of the deaths i have seen were when i was really young, and this event just kind of hit me. not sure how to react to it all

1. I backed everything up
2. I made the upgrade from Redhat 9 to Fedora Core 1
3. I restored the backups
4. I logged in to my site
5. I got pissed
6. I messed around with the backup drive
7. I found out that it went dead
8. I got pissed
9. I got the backup drive to work
10. I got the data off of it
11. I started the Fedora Core 2 install

Would someone care to take the headache from me? I don't mind the work, but when stuff starts falling apart, I get really pissed.

I really think I need to start doing drugs or something. My dreams have been so tripped out lately that I feel like I need to shock them back to reality somehow.

So I went to Grandma's tonight for a visit. When I left, I went to put my turn signal on at an intersection in town, and I didn't hear the clicking. I looked down, and there was no flashing on the dash.

I got home, dug around at the fuse box, and found that my turn lamp/back-up lamp fuse had blown. Dad suggested that it was from my license plate wire being undone, and that I knew about it.

1. I did not know about it
2. I don't want to have to mess with that before I leave tomorrow
3. I'm glad I found it tonight, without getting a ticket, rather than later

So in my boredom, I filled out that personality profile at eharmony.com

After the greuling task of answering all those questions about myself, it told me that there is nobody for me. Really nice to know.

My name is Tim. I'm destined to be single for the rest of my life.

Right now it is 9:00AM.

About 10 minutes ago, Mom came in my room to wake me up to tell me that she wants me to ride with her up to Hammond to drop some papers off. This wouldn't be such a bad thing if she didn't get me up 5 hours before she intends on leaving. To add to it, she is in at her computer working on typing up those papers, and she is trying to format them to look right. She asks me for help, I try to help, and she ignores me and messes the whole damned thing up, then bitches at me about it.

I finally just walked out of the room.

I just got the call saying that I got the bid. :)

And now I can’t believe
You let this happen to me
And I can’t believe
They put those daggers through me
And I can’t believe
You didn’t come to save me from my pain

WARM TEA SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!!

(The category should be "Pseudo-Happy")

I had my last class today. I worked my last bit of time in the Financial Aid office today.

I'M FREAKING DONE!!!

It's somewhat bittersweet though, because I'm going to miss the people I've been working with in classes and such, but I will be keeping in touch with them.

Sleep... You will be missed in this day of waking. YOU FREAKING ROCK!!

I seriously think I've lost my talent of singing as well as my talent of playing the guitar. Now I'm doomed to listen to whiny vocalists on the radio.
