Ugh! My Wallet is Stolen!

I had my math class last night. We ended the class at around 7P.M. So, I get to the terminal where I have to take my last bus home… And as soon as I get on the bus and sit down, I notice that one of my pockets in my bookbag was unzipped. This part of my backpack held my wallet (the wallet held my debit card, my state issued i.d., my college i.d., and my debit card). I noticed that my wallet was missing. Some douche bag asshole pickpocketed me. I didn’t even notice someone going in. I’m surprised that they didn’t take my cell phone.

The thing that pisses me off though.. I always keep my bookbag zipped up at all times. It was zipped up on the first bus going towards the train station, it was zipped up during my train ride. However, it was unzipped when I got on the freaking last bus. Like, what the fuck, man? This is another reason why I hate Philadelphia. People have no decency. Why would you stoop so low to steal something? Soon as I came home, I searched my bag to see if I had just misplaced my wallet. Nope. No wallet.

So, I called my bank to cancel my debit card and to reissue another one. This morning, I checked my bank statement online and the asshole who stole my wallet made a charge at a McDonald’s. That motherfucker! It made me wonder why that asshole was able to make a charge when I had already cancelled my card. So, I called up my bank.. filed a thing with them. They not only will refund my money that was stolen from me, but they said that if the douche bag was caught, they will press charges. Well, they asked me if I wanted to press charges. I said yes. Not only is it theft, but it’s also fraud (being that when you present your debit/credit card to a merchant, you’re acknowledging the fact that you are that person on the card). So, it’s two counts (theft and fraud) and I’ll make sure that motherfucker gets prosecuted (if they are caught).

One thing that’s funny though; dumb assholes who charge things with other people’s cards don’t realize that majority of things today are electronic. Not only is there a timestamp on the purchase, but there’s a video camera in most stores, including McDonald’s. My bank also stated that if I had any other charges on my card to report it immediately.

Not only am I pissed off at the person who stole my wallet, but I’m also pissed off at myself for not noticing. I know I’m being hard on myself and that it’s not my fault it happened, but this has never happened to me before.

School and Stuff

So, I decided to try out posting at school, since they have free wifi. I have 45 minutes before my math class starts and I needed something to do before then.

Anyway, I’ve been enjoying the new semester. I have Sociology 101, Biology 106 (I have absolutely no idea why they gave a 106 with beginner biology courses), and a math course. I need 2 math courses before I graduate. I still don’t understand why I need math courses when I’m majoring in Psychology. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand if I needed to take a statistics class, which kind of.. kiiiiiiinnnnd of relates to psychology, if I were to go into research. But, these are just regular algebra crap classes. I guess it’s their way of making money off of students.

With biology class, I have to have lab along with it. I haven’t had lab classes since high school, so I’m kind of nervous about it. We have lab classes twice a week. I’m more of a social science kind of person, not a nature-related kind of science person.

Anyway, I’ll try update my blog more often.. If I have time in between classes, I guess I’ll post more often. Wish me luck.

Oy Jebus.

You know, I thought writing a book on satire was going to be easy. Place a little sarcastic comedy here.. a little there. And bam, a 50,000 word book I can submit. Nope, not easy. At all. I’m up to 8,000 and I’m running out of idea’s. I know what I want to write. I even came up with idea’s for each chapter (I’m writing a fake self-help book, completely and utterly ridiculously not helpful too).

The coming up with words isn’t so hard, since I can take a few days break when I have a mental block. But, I’m also placing images inside of my book; which is proving to be even harder than writing this damn book. I have to scour the whole interwebs just for public domain pictures. Luckily, I found a few through Wikipedia. Some of them are listed as public domain, which means I can use them for my book and junk.

I’m up to chapter 5 already. I was thinking of writing around 15 or so. Here’s to hoping I can fill up at least 50,000 words!

Yay! School!

The new school semester starts on September 6. I have 3 classes this semester. Math 017, Biology 106, and Sociology 101. I am so freaking excited, it’s unbelievable. Seriously. I’m tired of being in this house. I *need* to get out. I’m tired of being around my father. Ever since he lost job last month, he’s been up my ass (not literally of course), I’ve been going mad. Not that I’m not ‘mad’ anyways, but he fucking wants me to punch him in the face for annoying me so much.

In other news, my classes take up 4 days a week, which is great for me. It means that I’ll be away from this horrible house, at least for 4 days a week. Plus, I need time to myself. Next semester, I might take up 4 classes, just so I can have the excuse of being out of the house even more. I need to take a 2nd science to graduate, so I’ll be taking Chemistry. I’ll also be taking a language, probably Spanish.. since there’s tons of Spanish speaking people in the city. The other two classes will most likely be psychology related.

In other news, I’m writing a book. It’s not one of those professionally written books that are so awesome. It’s a book based entirely on satire. It’s a fake self-help book. And it has a disclaimer in it. “This book is fake, do not follow the advice in this book. It’s based on satire, and if you follow the advice in this book, you’re an idiot.” Hehe.

Updated News

How was everyone’s July 4th holiday? Mine, well.. It was kinda crappy. The weekend before July 4th (July 2-3rd), I had a high fever (it ended up at 103° before I ended up taking an aspirin to lower it). Anyway, after I took the aspirin, the fever broke. Unfortunately, on Monday I ended up in the emergency room with a swollen and painful right foot. I couldn’t even walk on it. So, I’m in the emergency room on July 4th and they tell me I have to stay overnight. I’m like “fucking great, I hate hospitals.” They kept me until Thursday. And what’s even worse, they placed a post-surgery woman in the same room as me. Nothing is like hearing some old fart screaming and crying in pain at 2 in the morning.

Anyway, lots of other things have been happening in my life. I finished up the summer semester at the college. I took 2 classes this semester, because I had leftover federal/state grant money (and didn’t have anymore money for more summer classes, oh well).

Here are my grades:

Now, as you can see, I received an A in my computer class. 18 years of computer experience, baby. I swear, if I received anything less than an A, I would have personally taken my foot, and shoved it right up my anus. I’m nowhere near a computer novice, so getting anything less than an A would make me feel incredibly stupid. English Composition, however, isn’t my specialty. Sure, I have creative idea’s. But to actually write them down in a way that’s understandable to the reader.. well, that’s a whole ‘nother beast. Getting a B is still good, I suppose. It’s  not perfect, but oh well. I did however, raise my GPA. When I finished my Spring semester, I finished with a 3.0. After this semester, it was raised to 3.25, which made me incredibly happy.

Anyway, I’ve been cleaning out my closet. I decided to donate my old novels, because they’re just taking up space. If someone else could better use them, then whatever. I don’t mind donating them. Hell, if they were to go to a homeless shelter, that’d be great. So far, I’ve packed up 2 boxes and I’m up to 66 books being packed. I have to make sure I don’t over do it because my foot is still swollen. I suppose 2 boxes a day is good. ~shrug~

Almost Done!

My last week of the Summer semester is soon here. I have my English final on Monday and Wednesday is my last day for my computer class. My computer professor is going to tell everyone how they’re doing that day. He basically said on our first day that if you’re doing well in the class, there was no point in taking the final. His class is the only one that has an optional final, which is pretty spiffy.

Anyway, I overslept yesterday by an hour. I was so fucking angry that my alarm didn’t go off. I had it set for 6 a.m. and I didn’t wake up until 7 a.m., and I’m supposed to be out of the house by 7:30. My cell phone has an alarm clock and 99.9% of the time, it goes off. I was pissed. Instead of having 90 minutes to dick around, eat breakfast and get a shower, and have enough time to get ready; I had to rush, rush, rush. I didn’t even have a chance to eat any breakfast. I had to stop at the local Dunkin’ Donuts and pick up breakfast. I fucking hate doing that. Oh well.

So, what are my plans for the summer? The #1 thing that has to start up again is my exercise. Since I’ve been so exhausted from school when I come home, I’ve been putting off my exercise. I’ve been walking around A LOT when I’m at school, but I need to resume my exercises. No excuses this time. Another thing I plan on doing is sleeping. For the past 7 weeks, I’ve been getting up at 6 a.m. I am absolutely NOT a morning person. I absolutely hate getting up at 6 a.m. And the third thing I plan on doing for the summer? Gaming.

Anyway, hope you guys have a nice weekend. <3

The Pain! Ew.

So, this past week.. my knee has been killing me. So much so that I’m limping around the school campus. By the time I get home, I’m crying from pain. I carry around a huge ass book bag, because well.. I need materials to learn with at school. So, all that weight is baring down on my knees and back. The upside though is that my upper body no longer hurts, because the book bag is straightening my back out. Since I have huge breasts, they tend to make me hunched over from the weight, but the weight of the book bag pulls my shoulders back, allowing me to sit up straight. This also no longer puts pressure on my upper back.

My theory about why my knee is killing me is that I recently started taking a Vitamin D pill again. I remember a few months ago, Blake started taking a Vitamin D pill and his back started to kill him SOOOOOOOO much. Side effects of too much Vitamin D in the blood are: ” vomiting, constipation, dehydration, irritability, bone pain, sore eyes, muscle problems, frequent need to urinate, anorexia (decreased appetite) and fatigue.” So, perhaps my body is not eliminating the vitamin D. I don’t know.

I’m going to conduct an experiment. I’m going to stop taking my vitamin D pill for about a week or so. If the pain decreases, then the culprit is the vitamin. If the pain continues, I’m going to try going without the pill for a 2nd week. If after 2 weeks, I’m still in pain, I’m going to sum it up to stupid arthritis.

Wish me luck.

Earthquake

There was a 1.7 magnitude earthquake today in Northeast Philadelphia (my section of the city).

Link: http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/local_news/Mystery_Boom_Northeast_Philadelphia_052811

Oddly, I didn’t feel anything. Oh well.

Lies and Yum Yums!

So, I recently tried out some toilet paper. I’m very, very, very picky when it comes to toilet paper because my asshole is like.. quite sensitive. I know, too much information, but I’m pretty sure people can relate. I tried this one out:

Scott tissue has got to be the most roughest toilet paper I have ever tried. “Softness Done Right”? Are you fucking kidding me?! “Extra Soft”? Really? This toilet paper feels like the toilet paper you get when you go potty at school. Thin, rough, and just plain crappy toilet paper. I have no clue how this company gets away with writing lies on the wrapping paper.

 

 

 

One thing that I do enjoy is this:

It’s Swiss Diet Iced Tea. I’m not entirely sure if it’s sold nationwide, but it is sold here in Philly. It’s actually the best diet iced tea I have ever tasted. Just wanted to mention that. Hehe. I had like 3 coupons for buy 1, get 1 free.. So I decided to buy all 6 and stuff.

I’m back =)

It’s been a long time since I wrote anything on my blog and for that, I’m sorry. I guess. I’ve been so fucking  busy with school, it’s unbelievable. I started at one of the local colleges here in January. I originally had English, Psych 101, and Behavioral Health 101. 2 of the professors (Psych & Behavioral) were so incredibly nice to me. The English professor however, oh my god. She was the nastiest dried up old cunt I have ever met. I have never met such a nasty cunt before (well, as far as professors go). She berated us in front of other class mates, she read our test scores out loud (which is illegal to do so, because there’s a federal law that prohibits professors from reading test scores).

Anyway, I reported her for being so nasty. Unfortunately, since she has 40+ years tenure, there wasn’t much I could do about her. She however, asked me in class why I had reported her. I felt so pissed off that her English department had snitched on me. I told her that I didn’t like her attitude towards us. In the end though, I did pass her class. And I am eve so grateful that I’m out of that cunt’s class. And god, I fucking hate her. I wouldn’t wish her on my worst enemy. Well ok, maybe I would.

Currently, I’m taking 2 summer classes. I had enough Pell grant money leftover from last semester. So, I took advantage of it and was able to take English 101 (I had the cunt for a developmental English class, whatever) and CIS 103 (which is some applied computer technology course). It’s a 7 week accelerated course, which ends on June 30th. English is okay, but the computer class is so retarded easy. On our first day of class, he explained how to zip files and what a hierarchy of folders were. ~rolls eyes~ This computer course is going to be an easy ‘A’. I mean, for fuck’s sake; I have 18 years of computer experience. What makes me laugh the most is that some people are so incredibly confused and feel like they’re being left behind. Oh lordy.

Next semester, I’m taking one of 3 required math classes, Biology 106, and Sociology 101. In case you peeps are wondering, I’m majoring in Psychology. I have absolutely no idea why I need math. I guess it’s a way for the college to make money off of me. Although I’m barely paying a cent. Majority of my tuition is being paid for by state and federal grants (yay me!)

In other news, I recently bought a Wii and my first game, the Wii Fit (with the balance board). I have lost 10 pounds so far. I’ve been drinking a lot more diet soda and  bottled water, instead of regular soda. I’m hoping to lose more weight. Since I’m doing a lot of walking at school, by the time I get home I’m exhausted. I’m mostly doing the Wii Fit during the weekends, since I can rest before exercising. After my 7 weeks are up and I have the rest of the summer off, I’ll be able to use the Wii Fit more often (I’ll probably do it 4-5 times a week).

Anyway, I guess that’s it for now. I’ll try to update my blog more often (at least 3 times a week) with more boring crap about my life. =)

Nummalicious!

Blake and I order from this place all the time. We ordered from there tonight, because we didn’t feel like going out to a restaurant. I had my 31st birthday last week and he was supposed to take me out for my birthday. Since the weather has been so incredibly horrible, we stayed home. They have pretty good food, especially their cheesesteaks. The name of the restaurant isn’t very creative. I mean, who calls themselves “Mega Quality”? Is that supposed to mean their quality is more mega than those around them?

Anyway, school has been going great. I dropped my math class, because it was driving me nuts. I figure I’m going to take it next semester (in the summer), along with English. Get all of my math and English requirements out of the way, so I don’t have to worry about it in the Fall. I just want all these unnecessary classes out of the way, so I can concentrate on all the interesting classes like Psychology and Behavioral Health. ^_^ Next semester, I may need to take Biology, I’m not sure. I have to talk to an Academic Advisor before the semester is out, so I know which classes I need. And stuff.

Yay! Snow Day! ^_^

I had my 31st birthday yesterday. Yay! (/not)  It was an uneventful day. I went to school, had two classes, and then came home. I did some homework, had some birthday cake, and then went to sleep. I don’t really celebrate birthday’s like I used to do. I used to throw parties all the time and actually celebrate. Now, it’s like. Why the fuck should I celebrate getting older? Life’s just gonna get shittier anyways. What am I looking forward to, except a world that’s getting worse and a body that’s going to ache more.

I mean, not all things are horrible in my mind. At least I’m *trying* to make my life at least a little better, by getting my degree. Maybe, just maybe… After I get out on my own and find a well paying job and a nice cozy apartment, I’d be a tiny bit happier. Who knows?

Anyway, I didn’t end up going to school today. As you can see from the picture, there’s heavy snow tonight. My last class is at 8:30P.M. tonight. Who the fuck knows if buses will even continue to run after all that snow? There’s already a few inches of snow on the ground right now. It’s only going to get worse.

So, I e-mailed my professors and explained that I’m coming from a section of the city (which means it takes me about 90 minutes just to get to the stupid school) and I’ll be class on it’s next scheduled day. So, back to sleep I goes I guess.

Tired & Sore

Today was my 3rd day of school and my god. My calves are incredibly sore. I have never done so much walking in my life. I keep telling myself… “The more I do it, the less my body will hurt.” I like my classes so far, so I’m happy about that. I just want my soreness to go away.

I decided that I would take classes 5 days a week, that way I would be out and about and not be a lazy vegetable at home. The reason why my calves are so sore, is because I’m out of shape. The college has a gym and they also have a yoga class. I’m probably going to go there on Monday and ask them when they hold their yoga classes. Stretching would greatly help my sore muscles. I hate the pain, but I’m happy I’m doing something finally. Even if I’m in pain for a few weeks. Eventually that pain will go away with more walking.

“The more I walk, the less my calves will hurt.” I wish it was sooner than later, but oh well. Happy I’m getting this stuff out of the way.

Meh :P

I start school tomorrow. I am so incredibly nervous. Other than the little stint I did with that online college crap, I haven’t stepped inside a school in almost 13 years. After my first class, I have to stop by the bookstore and pick up the rest of my books. The thing that sucks is that not only is it supposed to snow tonight, but there’s supposed to be icy rain tomorrow morning. Just great. I hate the winter time when I have to go out on a daily basis. Not so bad when I’m in the house. Oh well. I suppose if I really want that degree, I *have* to go out.

I have a second blog I started recently. It’s a strictly school related blog. I’ll try to post pictures as often as possible. The link is here: http://missjaxx.wordpress.com/. There’s only one post there, so far.

Just…. Yuck!

So, I’m on my way home from school this past Wednesday. I had student orientation and had to get my school I.D. done. It was fucking freezing out, mind you. Anyway, I’m on the bus home and I see this guy doing this:

Why the fuck would you sit there with your hand in your fucking pants like that? That’s just freaking weird. I mean, it’s not disgusting or anything. Well, it kind is.. when you’re an unattractive douche bag like this guy. And he just sits there like nothing’s happening. I happen to just snap a picture without the flash on so that no one will see me taking a picture on my phone. I’m a sneaky sneak like that. ^_^

Anyway, if he were to try to pick up any women… that’s completely not the way to do it. My mind boggles as to why someone would sit on the bus with a hand in their pants and just sit there nonchalantly. Does his balls itch? Is his pubic hair itchy? Or maybe his cock has a rash and it’s itchy? Who the fuck knows? And he had his hand in there the whole entire time I was on the bus. Nasty.

In other news, I start next week. I have to go see the career counselor’s office sometime next week and talk with them about what classes I need to take in order to be ready to transfer over to a school like Drexel (after my 2 years are up at CCP). 2 years at CCP and then another 2 years at a 4 year college. Yay for me. I’m so fucking nervous.

Yum

Today was a pretty boring day for me, other than having to go see a doctor and food shopping. I was pretty frustrated at the doctor’s though. I had a 3:30PM appointment. I get there at 3:00 and there’s like 5 people ahead of me. This place usually overbooks people like a motherfucker and it annoys me like hell. The doctor is pretty nice though. One of the receptionists is a complete dunce cap, but she’s pretty hot looking. She has this snooty attitude. I’d probably fuck her and then smack the shit out of her for being a cunt.

Anyway, take a look at this:

Isn’t that awesome? I usually *only* go food shopping once a month. $113 a month isn’t bad when you’re buying for two people. It’s not that I don’t have money to pay for more food. It’s that I fucking hate food shopping. I hate waiting in line, unpacking the food.. then packing it up and then unloading it in the car. Blah blah blah. The $113 was after I saved money. I would have paid more than $250. For a month’s worth of food. I think my best was $200 saved during a shopping trip. Just wish I had more coupons, oh well. I need to start looking around on internet coupon sites, so I can print out more coupons. Those fuckers save me some serious money. God, I’m so cheap. But, I love it. When I got home, my legs and back were killing me. I had to have Blake put the food away because I was in so much pain. That’s another reason why I hate going food shopping. It’s the unloading into the frig that I hate even more. I need a personal slave, yo.

Num!!

First of all, the name of the wine is called Cockburns. Cockburns? Who names their wine that? I suppose that’s why it stood out when I went to the state store. Anyway, this wine really tastes delicious. It’s one of those port wines and junk from Portugal. For me personally, it tastes better at room temperature. It’s a dry wine. Blake hates it, but I actually love it. I think he prefers sweeter ones like that stupid Jewish wine.. I think it’s called Manischewitz. Ick. Manischewitz tastes wayyyy too sweet for me. I never really enjoyed sweet wines.

Anyway, I bought Cockburns on New Years Eve. I think it was around $9.99. And I’m just now finishing the bottle. I have no clue why it took me so long. I’m not a big drinker. I used to be when I was a teenager. But as soon as I turned 21, all the fun just disappeared.

It’s snowing out. Again. Bleh. I don’t mind sitting at the window and watching it fall, because it looks so fucking beautiful. But, I hate going out in it. It makes my feet all wet by the time I get home. Ick.

Student orientation is next week. I’m so excited. I have all my wonderful school supplies in my school bag. I feel like a dork, but at least I’m prepared. All I need now is to find my stupid 3 hole puncher. It’s laying here somewhere and I can’t find it for the life of me. Oh well.

Pissed Off

I’ve had tinnitus since I was a kid. I have no clue how I happened to get it, nor do I even remember what happened as a kid to cause me to have such a condition. For the past 5 years, I have been going to doctor after doctor to find out what the fuck is wrong with my head. I’ve taken anti-psychotic medication, it didn’t work because now.. I know it’s not caused by psychosis. I went to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He says he sees nothing physically wrong with my ears. Hearing test came back normal. Then I go see a neurologist. I go through a seizure test to see if I have seizures; which he thinks might be causing the tinnitus. Seizure test came  back normal (although personally, I think I may have petite mal seizures.. but that’s another story). Anyway, my point is. To this very day, I have absolutely no clue why I have tinnitus. No fucking clue. So, last week… I visit my family doctor to ask for a cat scan or MRI to see if there’s any possibly physical damage to my ear canal or ear drums, etc. They call up my health insurance and ask for an approval number for my cat scan. And guess what? Those motherfucking pricks at the insurance company don’t want to pay for a cat scan. I could possibly have a benign tumor in my head and those cheap pricks don’t want to fucking pay. *sigh* When I get home today, I plan on calling them up and chewing them a new asshole. And find out WHY it was denied. It’s not like I’m asking them for a cosmetic procedure. The cat scan I’m asking for is medically necessary for fuck’s sake.

And this is why I want to fucking move out of the United States. I don’t care where I go. I just don’t want to live here anymore. As soon as I get my degree, I plan on checking out the job market in Canada. Fuck it. Tired of living in a country where the economy is going downhill quick. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Test Test ^_^

The other day, I went through apps for WordPress and I found Windows Live Writer. I wanted something different than just the plan text editor that the site has. So, I’m testing it right now and seeing if I like this app. It’s a little button friendly, but I suppose I’ll get used to that.

Anyway, testing out the photo and text feature too. This picture is of my drakkin wizard from EQ1 (Gooshy). Will probably move her to the Firiona Vie server as soon as transfers open. The developers are on vacation until today, supposedly.

I like this app a lot actually. I’ve always wanted to insert photo’s and write things in this manner, instead of like what I used to do before. Why the fuck didn’t I download this before? It boggles me.

In other news, I have student orientation next week. I fucking absolutely cannot wait. I’m so excited. I’m finally able to start school and my student loans are finally out of default (blah, blah, blah). Hoping to get out of the house more often, because my family drives me fucking nuts.

Band Wagon

So WordPress is having this thing about blogging. Post a day or post a week thingie mijing; I guess to motivate people to blog more often. I suppose I should post more often myself. I need more traffic anyways. ~grin~

Anyway, my new year’s was pretty quiet. Blake and I went over to the state store to pick up some rum and port wine (which I’m drinking myself because he doesn’t like dry wine). After that, we hit the supermarket to pick up eggnog, daiquiri mix, and some snackies. The rum we got.. was Captain Morgan’s 100 proof (I’m assuming it contains more alcohol than the normal crap). I didn’t get smashed or anything.. just a tad tipsy. Around 3:30 in the morning, one of my Everquest friends decided to drunk dial me… It was entertaining, at least. It was my first time ever getting a drunk phone call. Hehe.

Anyway, have a good year, yadda yadda shmadda. Here’s hoping my lazy ass posts more.

You ever just want to bash someone’s skull in for being a complete and utter asshole? I swear to god, I hate people sometimes. See, I’m a part of this thing I’m not supposed to discuss with the public per se. Anyway, we have 2 people who are above me. And one of them is a jackass and utter douche bag. After months of the same old bullshit, all of a sudden he gets a fucking bug up his ass and decides to e-mail people with a CC to me. In it, he bugged out.. I have no clue what the fuck happened, but he has a bug up his ass. The other person above me agrees with me and decided to contact the people above him. So, fuck you Mister Ladeeda. You can shove your little shitty Vah Shir up your bum and like it.

Brrrr!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this past Saturday. It was pretty uneventful for me since my parents are Jewish and Blake and I are atheists. We ordered out Chinese food (we didn’t feel like cooking). On Sunday, we received a whole shitload of snow (I think around 10-12 inches full). We were supposed to go out today, but we decided we’d stay home since it’s so shitty out.

Next month, I have to go downtown to get my college student I.D. done and then have a student orientation thingie. Then about a week or so later, I officially start. I’m so freaking excited. 2 years there and then transfer to a 4 year college and do another 2 years. Move out of my parent’s house. Hoping to move to Canada. I can’t stand this country anymore (that’s another discussion another time). Anyway, time to drink my coffee and relax.

Yay for Friends!

I got my friend Anthony playing Everquest 1 with me. Since I have a 2nd account, I thought he could play Everquest for free. He made a monk so far and since I went back to Firiona Vie, we started playing there. He likes it so far, so we’ll see how things go from here. I hope he likes it a lot to keep playing.

Self-Help

This may be such a goofy idea, but I’m actually writing a self-help book. As a joke. I wanted to write a self-help book and see if anyone buys it off of Amazon. It’ll probably end up with only 1 or 2 stars, but oh well. I just want to see if anyone buys it. There’s so many incredibly stupid self-help books out there (like The Secret). ‘The Secret’ has got to be one of the stupidest books I have ever read. The author simply wanted to make millions of dollars off of stupid mindless people (like me, I suppose).

I would find it funny if anyone does find it useful.

Weird Probelm

Majority of the time, I’m on my laptop (which has a wireless option, if I choose to go wireless). Anyway, whenever I lean on the laptop (usually I place my elbow over the part of the laptop that has the wireless on/off switch), the internet connection turns off. That screenshot up top.. The internet connection thingie.. gets an x in it and I can’t connect to anything. It’s weird, but I have no clue why it suddenly started doing that. Prior to yesterday, I never had a problem. Bleh. It’s not like my elbow is suddenly turning on the wireless thingie.

So Beautiful

Every time I see this video, I cry. Not because it’s sad. But because to me.. something like this is just beautiful. That so many can come together and sing a song. And be happy. If everyone can just get together and do something so wonderful like this, imagine the possibilities. Instead of caring only about yourself, coming together and making the world better.

New Changes

Two days ago, EverQuest went down for a patch. In that patch, Firiona Vie was patched to have a perma xp bonus. 50% extra to be exact. This is the first of the changes that are coming for the old server. The developers, I assume.. want to save a dying server. I started on Firiona Vie way back in 2004 when I started playing EverQuest for the first time. I remember making a wood elf ranger by the name of Hecate (I was really into reading about gods/goddesses back them). Anyway, she never got past level 35 until I either switched to the Stromm server or started playing Guild Wars. I forget. But I did quit for a few months to play Guild Wars with Blake. Eventually after a few months, I came back. That old familiar itch came back and I just had to play. This time I came back to Firiona Vie and rerolled into a high elf cleric by the name of Mewwy. She’s level 75 with close to 800 aa’s at the moment. The guild I was in kept trying to push me to end content, but I refused. “We need more knowledgeable clerics, instead of stupid mercs.” They said.

Anyway, my point is… Next month or February, they’re allowing transfers into Firona Vie for free (I’m assuming to save the server from completely dying). And the permanent xp bonus, I’m also assuming is to entice people to start coming back or having people transfer over. I’ve been wanting to come back to Firiona Vie for so long. I miss my old friends. I love the fa

A Little Better

Yesterday, at around 4:30′ish.. I saw my pain management doctor. Darvocet was taken off the market, so the doctor put me on vicodin. The prescription said something around 90 pills. My eyes bugged out when I saw that. *grin* Anyway, I went to the pharmacy and got the sucker filled. Vicodin helps more than darvocet anyways, so I’m happy.

Anyway, my back feels a little better. Just a tad. If I relax and don’t overstress my back, the pain is minimal. But yesterday, after I walked around a lot (went to the doctor and then to Lane Byrant afterward and then to the pharmacy), my back was absolutely killing me. I have no clue how I fucked my back up. I’m still wondering how I screwed my back up and why it still hurts a week later. *sigh*

Bleh

Tomorrow will be a week since I’ve been in tons of pain. I can barely even stand up straight when I walk around. If it weren’t for asperin and pain killers, I would have been in more pain. And because of all my pain, I can’t enjoy the things I love the most (gaming, reading, etc.). All I can think about is how much my back hurts. I’m sleeping more often because of it. I’d rather be sleeping than be in pain.

Tomorrow, I’m seeing my pain management doctor. Since darvocet’s been taken off the market, so hopefully she can prescribe something better. I’m hoping to get some vicodin or something similar. I have no idea how I hurt my back either. I knew I have a herniated disc, but I haven’t had any falls or whatever before the pain started. Last Monday I was perfectly fine. Bleh.

Black Kitteh

I was playing EQ2 the other day and went over to Halas to do some quests with their festival (they have festivals in home cities every month). So, I saw that one of the vendors had a black robe for like 10 tokens. Did 2 quests, got my 10 tokens and viola. I’mma kitteh in all black. Wee! In case you’re wondering, that’s my dog dog “Heystupid” in the background (I’mma mystic).

In other news, my back is still killing me. Me thinks I have an inflamed disc. I’ve been taking aspirin, but the pain isn’t entirely gone. It’s less severe, but it still hurts like fucking hell when I walk around. Bleh. I have no idea how I happened to re-injure my back. I was completely fine on Monday and then Tuesday comes along.. and I’m crying in pain. *sigh*

In Pain

Since yesterday, I’ve been in such pain. My lower back is absolutely killing me. I can’t even walk straight upward. Unfortunately, I think it’s from the rain (it’s supposed to rain all day today). The arthritis sucks ass. *nod nod*

Anyway, 1 month and 17 days left until school starts. And my god, I am so fucking excited. I’m going 5 days a week, just so I’m away from my stupid parents. I swear, they remind me of the Costanza’s from Seinfield. If you can just picture the parents arguing and being all loud like, that’s my parents. I swear to god, the writers knew my parents. Not only are they loud, but they’re nosy, make you feel guilty for saying no, and most of all.. they’re Jewish (any son or daughter of a Jewish mother knows exactly what I’m talking about here). When they’re home on the weekends, I can’t get any sleep whatsoever. The both of them don’t know how to close doors silently. On top of that, they don’t know how to speak silently or keep the tv on a decent level. Everything has to be loud, loud, loud. So, because of all of that I’m forced to take classes 5 days a week. I also plan on doing *all of my homework and studying at the school’s library*. If I even mention I need silence to do my school work, god forbid I get any.

Anyway, today’s a crappy day. It’s raining heavily and it’s windy. Thank god I don’t have to go out. Don’t get me wrong. I love the rain (only because it helps me sleep and I love the smell of it). Hopefully I can withstand the back pain when I go to school. My biggest motivation to go is to get out of this house. Every morning I have to remind myself that it’s either I live here for the rest of my life and be a loser or get my education and move the fuck out. It’s about time I do something for myself and stop letting things get in the way of my happiness.

*snore*

I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of the year. Nothing special happened, I can tell you that much. Other than turning 30, I don’t have much to tell. After turning 30, I felt like I’d start getting wrinkles and blah blah blah. Blake always makes fun of me and calls me Granny or something similar.

School loans are out of default now, so I’m happy about that. Everything’s paid back and I can finally start school. I was supposed to start last January, but I found out I can’t get any loans or state/federal grants if I’m in default. So, I had to wait. And wait. And wait. Oy. I wasn’t happy that I fucked up when I was younger. You see, I had went to a business school when I was around 20 to take up ‘Web Development’. I never finished. So, I had school loans I couldn’t pay back because when I started… I expected to graduate and get a job afterwards and pay back my loans. Of course, the whole internet bubble burst and I for some reason didn’t want to continue my education in computers. I changed direction and finally decided I wanted to help people instead. So now, I’ll be majoring in psychology.

Anyway, my future goal is to get my degree and move out of this fucking city. There’s always going to be mentally ill people out there and there’s always openings in the medical field. For now, the medical field is secure (in this economy anyways).

We’ll see what next year brings, I suppose.

Video Bugs

Sometimes when my laptop starts acting up, I get these weird video bugs in Everquest. Here’s a sample:

It would have been better if it were *not* an ogre penis.

Weird!

I had went to the supermarket this week and went into the baby isle to buy some butt wipes. I saw this and I’m like “…wtf?”

Tweet Tweet

I am so obsessed with updating my cat’s twitter page. Crazy? Nuts? Sure. But, I could also be bored out of my head, until school starts. Besides, my cat has 17 follows. 17 followers! Who the fuck follows  a cat twitter page?! Especially that’s really updated by a human! There’s a cat twitter page that has over 1.5 million followers. WTF? Blake says that it could all be crazy cat ladies (including me). I was debating on creating a twitter for all 7 cats in the house, but I seriously doubt I can keep up with all 7 cats. That would just drive me nuts. Here’s the cute critter who has the page:

My Gaming

I used to play about 20-30 hours of gaming a week (between EQ1 & EQ2). I think nowadays, it’s down to 10-15 hours a week. I think the biggest reason why the number of hours has decreased is because I’m not in a regular grouping guild. The guild I’m in rarely groups or when they do group.. I log in and they’re already out grouping. After the collapse of Mayong (I was a guild leader there, with about 500-550 people), I ended up going to a small guild. I thought I would be happy being in a smaller no-drama guild. I miss the grouping/raiding aspect. *shrug*

Anyway, I can’t wait until January. Going to school is going to be different for me.. I’ve been out of school for about 12 years now. I’m scared that I might not know how to study. I plan to do all my homework/studying at school (in their library), because my parents don’t know the meaning of quiet. Plus, I have way too many distractions at home. TV, computer, cats, sleep, etc. Being at school will force me to do what I’m supposed to do.

Limewire

I went to open up my Limewire today to get some music I had heard on my satellite radio. And I see this:

What gets me is that these courts and/or companies are so incredibly stupid. Once you shut down one piece of area that allows music distribution, you open up 10. For example, if you want a music video from YouTube, all you would have to do is go to an a web site like http://keepvid.com/, type in the url and voila. You have your music video. I take it one step further. I strip the mp3 out of the video and there. I have the mp3 on my ipod.

And technically speaking, it’s not “stealing” music. Let me give you 2 definitions of “stealing”.

-Usually, stealings. something that is stolen.

-given to or characterized by theft.

What that means basically.. is if I go into your home and steal your television, you’re no longer in possession of said television. That is the true definition of stealing. If I were to go into your home and make a copy of your television and leave.. and you’re still in possession of it (your master copy of the song, in this case), how am I “stealing”? Smart people of the interwebs, please explain to me how that is theft?

Before anyone decides to comment, let me explain this to you. If I never had the intention of buying the record, the artist would have never made money off of me in the first place. If they’re not getting money from me buying their record, how is downloading one song any different?

Record companies would rather dig deep in your pockets and steal from you, my hard working people. Rather than be happy that people are spending money at concerts to see these very same people, they go on a crusade to put little old ladies who don’t have a computer in jail. These people are worse than the IRS. I have never bought a copy of an Evanescence album, but have yet managed to go see them TWICE in concert.  My money from the concert goes directly to the band, unlike record sales. To me, going to a concert supports my favorite bands more than just buying their record.

Novel Timez!

November 1st through the 30th is National Novel Writing Month. Last year, I was only able to write about 5,000 words. The whole point is to write a novel (50,000 words in 30 days). It doesn’t even have to be a good novel. Just write what comes to mind. I started writing again and I’m not even sure what the topic is. Last year’s attempt was about S&M and a nagging bitch. Not sure what I’ll write this year. Any ideas?

BTW, the web site for that novel place is: http://www.nanowrimo.org

Everquest Housing

With the last expansion, House of Thule.. The developers added housing to EQ1. And with that, I decided to be a perv and do this:

Odd and random. *nod*

Twitty Kitty!

The other day, I made a Twitter page for one of my kitties, Buttons. I know, I know. I’m crazy for doing it. But, since there’s like literally TONS and TONS of pet owners who have twitter pages, thought I’d make one. Here’s the link: http://twitter.com/DaMistahFloof. I try to update it at least 2-3 times a day with ridiculous things.

Anyway, I can’t wait until January. I start classes. Finally! All my old student loan debts are paid off and I’m in the clear for new state grants and crap.

Me so happy.

New Fallout Game, YAY. :P

I picked up my order of Fallout: New Vegas last night and started playing it. I am so happy it finally came out. I’ve had the game pre-ordered a few months ago and have been putting away $5 a week for it (so I won’t have to pay a whole lump sum when I picked it up).

My first impression of the game was pretty awesome. This week and weekend, I’ll probably play more of it and try to get at least a few more trophies. In the last few months, I’ve been playing more and more console games and less MMO’s. Have no clue why. Anyway, Fallout is pretty sweet (if you’re into shooter rpg’s). I was never really into shooter games before Fallout, but at the suggestion of a friend.. I had picked up Fallout 3 and fell in love with it.

Nom?

So.. I was eating something tonight..

And I look on the back of the package. Something bothered me about the ingredients. Let me show you.

What the fuck is a cheese product? Can anyone explain that to me please?

Sony Pisses Me Off!

So, Sony announced their date for the next Fan Faire. Of course, it’s in Las Vegas yet again. Once upon a time, they used to allow players to choose a city. Not anymore. Their excuse is that it’s cost effective. Cost effective my balls. Sony makes billions every year, they can certainly afford to have Fan Faire in another city, for fuck’s sake. You know what pisses me off the most? I’ve been playing Sony games for the past 6 years, for once I would actually like to attend a Fan Faire in my lifetime. Last Vegas is certainly not in my price range. And with unemployment skyrocketing, I’m pretty sure that players would love to have it closer to home.

And as I’ve always stated, Sony only cares about your money. Not you as a person. Why should they? They have their hands dipped in almost everything (electronic wise). They’re making plenty of money; why should they even give a fuck about you? Thanks again, you douche bags.

Classes

Registrations for classes start this weekend for the Spring 2011 semester. Finally. Once I finish my first year at school, I’m going to ask if I can continue at a 4 year college and get 2 years credit. 2 years at a community college, then another 2 years at a 4 year college. Not sure if they’ll allow that and then give me a bachelor’s degree. I’ll have to ask around. Anyone have any experience with that?

Anyway, I started a new art project. It’s a collage of crap. I usually do it when I’m bored. I never was much of an artist, because I suck at drawing. It relieves stress and boredom and stuff. It’s a weird collage thingie, but oh well.

Goofy Items

I was out today and Blake had found this laying around. We thought it was the most redunk thing we’ve ever saw!

Da Gooshinator!

I transferred my level 80 wizard to a new server (Emarr, to be exact) and since arriving there, I’ve been asked .. oh.. about 5 or so times already if I’m from the Mayong server. Apparently people remember me (either from being an ex-guild leader or being overly nice with crap). ^.^

Anyway, my old old old school loan from 2000 is finally out of default. I can officially start school in January. I was supposed to start in September, but paperwork for school loans got in the way of me starting. Oy. But, everything is worked out now and I can actually start. I keep telling myself that just 2 more years and I can move out of this stupid place.

Everquest Loyalty Program & New Server

Yesterday, the developers pushed out the ‘everquest loyalty program’ thingy onto live servers. Basically, the longer you subscribe to the game, the more shiny things you can buy with your loyalty tokens. So, instead of pushing more crap onto the Station Cash and making people spend real money on crap they don’t need, they give you something in-game. People are complaining left and right on the forums, like little children. The developers do something nice for once and people are already up in arms. Can’t please everyone, I guess.

One thing they did fuck up though is opening up a new server. For why? Mayong was a complete flop. I was there since opening day and finally got the fuck off in mid-August. By the time I left, the biggest raiding guild on the server pretty much abandoned the place and my guild was the biggest on the server with a whopping 500 people. The idea of even opening a new server is pretty much a retarded idea. Whoever makes these decisions obviously doesn’t play the game. How about just hiring gamers who actually play the fucking game, instead of hiring mongoloids who don’t?

Which brings me to my next thought. Bring back Zatzoia to the EQ1 forums. Kiara and her loyal minions are a bunch of forum nazi’s and a bunch of douche bags. I especially hate her and her little snooty attitude. You can’t even write a constructive post without her or one her titty sucking d-bags deleting it.

Blah

So, apparently I can’t start school until October, because of an old student loan I had back in 2000. It won’t be out of default until September 8th, which is a day after the regular school program starts. The 10 week program starts in October, so I should be good with grants by then. Blarg. I just *had* to be young and stupid. >.<

Anyway, this stupid humid and hot weather won't let up. Yesterday, it went up to 93°, today it's gonna be 94° and tomorrow 96°. WTF?! I can't wait until it's fall/winter. Can't stand this stupid heat & humidity crap.

Oh Noes!

Summer is quickly ending soon and I couldn’t be happier. This summer was pretty interesting. Philly had tons of 90+ degree weather, I lost the guild I was leading for a year (on the Mayong server in EQ1), I met some interesting people, and now.. starting next month.. I start school.

I haven’t been to school since I was 18 and I’m scared that 12 years later.. I might fail. I need to re-learn studying habits and make sure that my studying/homework come first. Which is why I plan to study and do my homework at school rather than at home. I can’t do anything at home without my parents being a distraction. All they do is yell, scream, snoop into your business. I regularly compare them to the “Costanza’s” from Seinfield, because well.. they’re exactly like them. Especially my mother. OMG. She’s almost identical to her. This is why I planned a 5 day class schedule. To get away from them as much as possible.

Anyway, other than that.. my summer has been boring. Was supposed to go on vacation yesterday, but didn’t go. I had my Greyhound ticket refunded and stuff. Long story. Would have been nice to actually go and get a mental break for 10 days. Oh well.

Panic Attacks / Anxiety

I’ve been feeling anxiety (tons of it) for the past week and a half. It seems to hit me the most when I got sleep or at night when things wind down. The last time I saw my shrink, she had given me some klonopin to help with them, but it just sucks that I’ve been having them. I was fine up until August 12th. Things happened on that day with my father (& Erik but that’s a completely different story). Both on the same day and my anxiety has skyrocketed. I was completely fine. No anxiety, no panic attacks, nothing. Then the 12th hits and bam.

I go to bed at night and my mind drifts to a million different thoughts. I start crying and I can feel my chest tightening. Not fun, whatsoever.
