As I type this, my scanner is fretting away scanning pictures for your enjoyment.
I should have the gallery pages updated tomorrow.
Exciting isn't it?
Aerosmith: Icon
01 May, 2002 at 04:26 PM by Ren | Permalink
So call me stupid. Go ahead.
I was in my car this morning, jamming out to Aerosmith and "Dude Looks Like a Lady" and I was remembering the moment when I realized that the song was about Steven Tyler getting turned on by Drag Queens. Well, not exactly Steven Tyler, but whoever he was pretending to be when he was singing.
I must've been a freshman in high school. I mean, I had heard the song for a long time before that, and I always thought it was funny "dude looks like a lady" not realizing that indeed, a dude could look a lot like a lady. It was one of those "that's funny cuz its so not true!" things. I now know different. I was just minding my own business listening to that crazy song, and then I was like "dude, oh my god! its about drag queens...and he's getting turned on by them, but he's grossed out all the same! CRAZY!"
It was one of those life defining moments.
I just remembered that story this morning on the way to work. It was right around the lyric "what a funky lady/would she like-it-like-it-like-it?/oooo he was a lady!/Yeoooooow-wai-kai-kai-kai!"
So its not the greatest story I've told on this site, but its better than that sappy shit I've been spouting lately (I've just thought maybe I should spare you guys from that for a few days...but only a few) : ) Maybe JReese and his drunk ass will stop VOMming all over Empress Margaret now.
Ok, one last thing: for more madcap drag queen zaniness watch this! It makes no sense, but I'm pretty sure that one of those hi-ho things dreams of wearing a dress...and somehow that it will get him a girl? and then he shits out a rock, and it hits a dog, and he gets attacked by the dog? I don't know. Just watch. It's fucked.
Freaks and Perverts

I'm having this bout of restless sleep tonight...mainly because I'm all congested and can't breathe. Anyway, I get to my computer to check my work e-mail and I remembered something my father told me years ago when he busted me online at about this time.
"Only freaks and perverts are on at this hour. Go to bed."
I was talking to a good friend of mind online and I asked him which one of us was which.
I'm a freak; he's a pervert.
If you're on, and its past 2 in the morning and you're reading this...go to bed. Only freaks and perverts are on at this hour. If its the middle of the day, go about your business : )

Thank God its Friday...I think.
I'm here at work, dying of boredom. My wrist hurts from too much typing and I just want to go home and nap. Maybe later.
I bought new posters for my office...one of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu...and the other of Jango Fett. HELLACOOL.
We might go see Spider-Man today (yes, there *is* a hyphen in Spider-Man), but if not, definitely Sunday. In other news, you can now start buying advance tickets for Episode II. There are 12 days left. I'm excited!
Episode II
06 May, 2002 at 04:03 PM by Ren | Permalink
So I'm getting pretty mad.
Seems the only place you can see Episode II on opening day in Corpus Christi is at the crappy Tinseltown theaters...they're not even THX rated! and its not showing at Midnight.
There goes my plans.
I'll have to take thursday off to catch the first showing at 10:00 am May 16. FRICK!
Worse things could happen.
And wait! they just did! My boss is now sending me upstairs to go teach our moronic fuckhead stupidass President (yes president, with a doctorate in Home Ec. so that might explain the moronic fuckhead) and teach her how to use the internet. fucking bitch. i hate her.
I just can't get you out of my head...

Kylie Minogue, its true! I just can't get you out of my head.
After my horrific last 2 hours at work yesterday, RollerMog made me a copy of Kylie's new CD...and I JUST CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD! It's so retro, and dancey it makes me want to shop at Old Navy. It's THAT good. hehehe.
So, while yesterday afternoon was the afternoon from hell, last night was the night when everyone was sending me money in the mail! Huzzah! I got paid for some webwork I did for a local school district. Woohoo! AND! the E.W. Scripps Co. finally caved in and realized that they did indeed, owe me money. I got an extra $130 that I wasn't expecting. Rock balls!
That made the night right there.
So I watched TV, nursed my pounding headache, and then went to bed. I got my goodnight phone call...albeit at 4:00 in the morning. I still got it though! Luckily, my headache was long gone by that time (Thanks Tylenol PM!) and I'm sure I said some crazy stuff that I will recant because I can't remember what I said : ) Could be worse I suppose. I could have continued suffering from the headache and been a total bitch on the phone. I may have been, I don't really remember. . .
I'm really bored at work today, and I want to go home. I would so love to sleep an entire day. Just sleep sleep sleep.
"I just can't get you out of my head..." dammit! this CD kicks. Talk to you later!
Insert title here

So, you knew it wouldn't last forever.
I'm here at work this morning; it's cold in my office and I'm slightly bored, not because I don't have work, but because I don't feel like doing it so I'm just sitting here. Also, I'm a little sad this morning. I was all looking forward to Wednesday because WonderBread was gonna come over for lunch. yay, right? But he can't because he's starting this new job, see? So that meant he had to cancel the dinner plans for tonight. Sucky, right?
I thought so too. Oh well. I will survive.
I discovered last night that you can indeed buy tickets for Episode II at the theater I wanted to see it in...online even! I think I might buy those today. At least I won't have to worry about standing in line all day to get them. Still sucks that there are no 12:01 showings in Corpus Christi on May 16. Sucky sucky sucky.
I got this cute little inspirational e-mail from WonderBread this morning too. That was cool. I'll post its guts here and respond to it underneath.
1. At least 5 people in this world, love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you, in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you, can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. Without you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique, in your own way.
9. Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned it's back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.
13. Always remember complements you received, forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel, then they'll know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they're great.
16. You must be a great friend, because someone gave this too you.
So here's my thoughts on this:
1. This one I know. Luckily I require no deaths at this moment to keep me alive.
2. only 15? I'm cosmically fabulous. Everyone should love me.
3. People hate me for reasons other than wanting to be me. : )
4. Well I know of one or two who like to make me laugh; God only knows why. Does that count?
5. Hee! Who are you? are you having dirty thoughts about me before you go to sleep? >: ) Nice pure happy thoughts are good too. Just not as salacious!
6.Hmmmm...who are you? e-mail me. I have a few things to say to you.
7. This one is cryptic. As far as I know, I still have all my organs...so I find it dubious that someone is living because of me : )
8. I'm so special I ride the short bus to work.
9. Who are you? I want to know you, because its' kind of stalker-scary that you love me and I don't know you.
10. Oh, I've made some colossal mistakes before, trust me. And yes, I did learn from those.
11. I wouldn't give the world the satisfaction of me turning my back to it.
12. This could be a good thing. There are a few things that I want. One in particular (No, it's not a Playstation 2).
13. This one is easier said than done. I remember the compliments. The rude remarks sometimes refuse to be forgotten.
14. This one is hard; I don't always let people know what's going on in my head.
15. They all know how much I heart them.
16. I'm something, that's for sure.
I know that by responding, I kind of destroy the happiness/cute factor of the original e-mail...but I felt it had to be said : ) So If you know the answers to any of those questions...e-mail me or post a comment. I'm bored at work. Also, if you feel like updating the Registrar's website, come on down...I'll be happy to put you to work.

So I'm not so good at taking care of WonderBread's friends.
It's really not a big deal except that I think I'm slightly responsible for making Moozick sick tonight. He's currently showering. I think Krysdol is jealous.
Oh well. On the downside, my carpet is stained all kinds of funky. On the upside, I realized I'm totally ready to be a father. I can clean up clean up VOM without gagging. That's a plus. I think.
Hmm...I guess that's all I have to say for now. I totally need to wash my hands. A lot. Oh god, I need to wash them a lot.
Krysdol is a wicked monkey!

She has seen about half of the Episode II bootleg.
WICKED WICKED MONKEY!
I'm forcing myself to not download it. Must. Resist. Temptation.
I bought the tickets already, so we'll see it on thursday anyway.

For all you crazy stalker kids out there...NEW PICTURES!
I scanned no less than 12 pictures from this past weekend, but only put up 8. The rest were saved to protect the innocent, and myself. : )
Perhaps if you're clever enough, you can find where I hid the rest. Probably not though. My system makes sense to no one but myself. Enjoy the new pictures. Try not to make out on my patio in joy.
Let's not get any more pictures of us sleeping, or waking up. It's just dirty.
I wanna be a jedi
16 May, 2002 at 07:06 PM by Ren | Permalink
and you can be my padme...
SERIOUSLY. Attack of the Clones rocked my socks. The movie was visually gorgeous, and it was such a Star Wars movie...Threepio and Artoo began their madcap hijinks, Obi-Wan has some of the greatest lines in the movie. Mace Windu KICKS ass against Jango Fett, and Yoda. Oh. My. God. Yoda.
Yoda fights like none other. He is indeed the most powerful of all the jedi. I managed to contain my unbridled glee most of the time, but from time to time it slipped out. DUDE. Yoda was rockin' like dokken.
GO SEE THIS MOVIE. GO SEE IT NOW. : )

NO, not the movie.
To clarify: the previous post "I wanna be a jedi" was a perversion of that old song...I wanna be a cowboy...so there is no padme per se, but rather just a continuation of the song lyric. You probably still don't believe me though. Bastards, the lot of you.
So last night it rained like a mofo. It scared the pants off me last night when I awoke quite startled to a really loud crash of thunder and about 30 car alarms going off. Not quite how you want to spend 4 in the morning let me tell you. So Not being able to go back to sleep, I got online to see what was up. Let me say this right now: if i'm checking up on you...I'd be smart enough not to do it with my own screenname ; ) Just keep that in mind for future reference. : ) Not that I'm ragging on anyone or anything. I'm just bored and tired. Mainly bored.
Today has been a busy morning, and a drag-ass afternoon. It's really drug on and on and on. I'm looking forward to seeing the gang tonight whenever they get out of work. Show up at my house and keep me company! Human contact would be a nice thing. Well certain particular humans and their contact, that is. Hee!
Attack of the Clones still rocks.

Big news gang...not that you guys don't already know.
The apocalypse is upon us. Why? you ask...I'll tell you why.
I got asked out on a date.
Yes. Thats' a sure fire sign. Coupled with the recent rise of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as moguls of their own mini-media empire only the truly blind wouldn't see these signs as true barometers of the end times.
However, I plan on spending the days before eternal damnation enjoying my aforementioned date and possibly conceiving plans for a (get this!) second date! Oh my. I shouldn't get ahead of myself though. Just because we have signs that doomsday is near, doesn't mean it's happening anytime soon. So, brave citizens, don't panic. Dont' riot in the streets. The world is ending, but it could be years away.
Continue about your normal business. Do not disturb me if you see me on my date. I'll kick you square in the nuts if you do.
a Blank slate
22 May, 2002 at 11:02 AM by Ren | Permalink
I had this whole post I had formulated this morning but totally forgot what it was about so shit.
Last night, I got home relatively early; it was only eleven. So I got online and chit-chatted with the illustrious Wonderbread and communed with the Oracle. They're fun peeps. I ended up staying up til like 1:30 or 2 or something. Can't remember. Anyway, I fell right asleep when I hit my soon-to-be-replaced mattress on the floor. Strangely enough though, I woke up at about 3:30 in the morning freezing to death. I swear it was like I was running a fever I had chills so bad. I felt myself to see if I was running a fever, and then went to the AC thermostat to make sure it wasn't set to like "meat locker" and everything was operating within established parameters. Strangely, though, I was frozen solid the rest of the night. I had to bust out blankets and stuff.
I think this is just a subconscious cry for someone to sleep next to.
So back to the bed. As many of you may know, my bed is seriously dead. It consists of a mattress on the floor with blankets and stuff. Long story how it got there. Well, since I owned no furniture of my own when I began my great experiment into growing up, I spent lots of time getting stuff for the public areas of my house (i.e. a couch/futon, kitchen table, etc) and not for my bedroom. What that means basically is that after my bed suffered its ignominious destruction at the hands of the housewarming party guests, I had to sleep on the mattress on the floor.
So the other day my father, being strangely generous, decides to give me his old futon.
At first I refused citing my home already having a futon. So he corrected me (sort of like this "not for a couch stupid, but for a bed since you don't have one") and convinced me to take his old futon and use it as a bed! Fancy that! I won't be sleeping on the floor anymore. Plus the fact that it will be a full sized mattress and not this twin shit I've been rocking since college.
Isn't that amazing? I'm so grown up now. All I need is a washer and a dryer and I'm good to go.
Compliments!

I just got an e-mail from my boss. She forwarded an e-mail compliment she got about the university's website (which is my job to maintain).
and i quote:
I must say, your website is the easiest one I've come across to navigate through. Congratulations! I am the Director of Public Information and Marketing at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls and am currently seeking information from several colleges in order to assist in my marketing plans and budget. If you are the person I should speak with, would you let me know if there is a convenient time I could call you to gather some facts about your marketing strategies. Thanks for your help.Janus Buss

So now that I have a pseudo-bed in my room, I totally have to reorganize my room. It is so hella messy. I need sheets too. *sigh* I don't get paid until the first. DAMMIT FOR NOT HAVING MONEY.
Props to RollerMog on not being so clumsy as to kill himself before his 23rd birthday. Happy B-Day RollerMog. Got nuthin' but love for ya!
He's so going to kill me for that.
Two Freaking Hours OR VOM
23 May, 2002 at 09:45 PM by Ren | Permalink
People have been bitching at me to finish this post, so I'm finally doing it. Happy now?
What a fun weekend (5/12/02).
My apartment got a so-not-needed infusion of heterosex. Dirty. However, go Krysdol. She got some play from (and I'm changing his name now) Moozik, henceforth to be known as Batman. We'll have the picture to justify that one soon enough. Anyway...I've never seen Krysdol blush THAT much. It was way cute.
WonderBread was sadly absent from most of the weekend's events. He had to work. Damn if Denny's wasn't kicking his ass with 10 hour shifts. Sadly, he's still cute even when he's bitchy and exhausted. Dirty.
JOT was a hell of a lot of fun this weekend too. OOO! the Oracle went to prom. She didn't let us see her all dressed up though. again. Dirty.
I still have vom stains on my carpet. I need a steamer. Batman will pay for that! Just kidding. Wait. No. I'm not.
So back to Krysdol and Batman. How dirty is she? Making out with this boy for TWO HOURS on my patio. It was actually funny. We were watching a movie and krys and batman were out on the patio chit-chatting. About 45 minutes into the movie we notice that they're incredibly quiet. . .that of course only means one thing. Krysdol lost something, and had to go spelunking in Batman's mouth to find it. hee! Go krys. Well, we let them be for a while...download "Kiss the Girl" from the Little Mermaid to inspire the newfound couple (they didn't hear it) and waited another hour and a half before they came up for air.
When she finally came inside to recharge the batteries, Krysdol was seriously blushing. SHE WAS SO RED! Batman had a definite swagger when he came back in, in addition to the look of total embarrassment from being busted after a 120 minute makeout session.
And that was just Friday.
Saturday was more of the same. Krysdol was gettin her freak on...this time though, it was in my kitchen. AND MY BATHROOM! DIRTY.
Batman was seriously stressed or something, and the liquor didn't sit well with him. . .or maybe it was the burrito? Anyway, he VOMmed all over my carpet. I still have this lovely dark stain. A memory of the evening's events I suppose.
All in all, a good weekend for everyone. Except for my apartment. Violated with heterosex and VOMmed upon. Poor apartment.
Federal Holiday
27 May, 2002 at 01:10 PM by Ren | Permalink
That's right. Today is a federal holiday and my happy ass is stuck in Kingsville at work.
WTF?
I want to go home. On the upside though, I downloaded a hellacool new song...its a remix of the Six Feet Under theme...the thunderpuss (was there really any question?) mix of course.
This weekend was pretty fun though. Friday night I had made plans to go chill with RollerMog and the Beast at the Beast and Tia Berta's house, but I ended up sleeping all night from about 7:40 til 3 or 4. CRAZY.
WonderBread came over on Saturday night, after work of course. We had a discussion, natch, "serious talk" that was pretty cool. I'm not sure if anything was resolved, but it appears that we both agree things are on track. And slow is good. Somedays I think I'm going to kill myself with this slowness, but most of the time it feels right. Besides, I'm sure my friends appreciate me spouting off about WonderBread all the time. Isn't that right RollerMog?
It should be noted though, that Krysdol is now officially more twitterpated than I ever was. She has a boyfriend now. Go her for nabbing Batman!
I currently have this remix on repeat, and it rocks my socks.
Have I mentioned how nice it is to sleep next to someone, even if they radiate hella heat? I need a fan for my bedroom. Damn it gets hot in there. No, dirty mind. Not like that. hee.
Right. So Sunday, we helped move the Oracle to her new apartment on campus. That was fun. Would you believe I helped move furniture? I know. Crazy. Probably why I'm sore today though. Funny thing about that. Hopefully the Oracle will be enjoying her new home. Now we just have to help WonderBread move into his new apartment. Dammit. I hate moving. NO ONE IS MOVING EVER AGAIN. : )
I think I've rambled on quite enough now. I'd better go and get some work done.

Just got back from lunch at this restaurant called King's Inn. It's outside of Kingsville (where I work). If you're ever in South Texas you must go. It's all served family-style. Way good.
We helped WonderBread move yesterday. I'm tired of moving. Even if we didn't do much moving...it's still tiring.
Also, it looks like I'll be renting a car for WonderBread and his guest to go up to Dallas. I hope they don't kill the car. On the upside, he'll owe me so, so big for this one.
I'll just have to add it to the list ; )

I'm nearly done with the first stage of the catalog of courses for the university website. That's enough to warrant a break, right? If not, the monotony of the whole thing should be. This sucks.
I'll try and post a new feature within the next day or so. The Yoda/John Williams/Star Wars soundtrack thing is way cool, but it's starting to get on my nerves.
Maybe I'll do something with Cliche Kitty.
My brother Eric should be coming to stay with me next week. I'm very excited!
I have to go to the bathroom now, so I'll talk to you later.
