Just know now that I'm home, safe and chillin like a villian in my crib.

Remember how I said I

Remember how I said I was going to recap the last few days today? Well I lied.
I had UNA migrane this morning and it threw everything all outta whack.
Try again tomorrow.
Mucho lovinfromtheoven to all of you. come back later.
Don't ask me why

but I'm f'n happy right now. I can't explain it--on the way home I just got freaking jolly. It's cold as as a witch's tit outside, and grayer than a Star Destroyer out, but I'm damn happy.
Don't steal my sunshine.
Tonight I plan on working some more on the Academic Roadmap website and maybe, just maybe, if I'm not too tired, I may start recapping Thanksgiving for y'all.
Just maybe.
If not, sorry. But I'm too freaking jolly to be bothered with trivial details of things that are past.
revelation

so I just got off the phone with Rollermog and I realized something horrible. My apartment exploded sometime this week. I'm not sure when, but I think it was while I was away. One day there was normal clutter from just throwing stuff down when I get home, and then the next it was cats and dogs living together...total chaos.
I so have to clean. It's horrific. Socks all over my bedroom floor. Sweaters, longing to be hung. Empty bottles of coke all over the bar.
Complete anarchy.
I have *got* to clean sometime this weekend. And not just "lets throw some shit in the closet and pretend" clean. I mean real, deep down, get-on-your-hands-and-knees-and-scrub-that-shit-off-the-tub clean. We needs some clean up in heeeere.
My mission: clear. With my heart pure; my cleaning supplies at the ready, I will clean my apartment. Just not tonight. But probably tomorrow. Or Sunday at the absolute very latest.
Surprise!
06 December, 2002 at 03:06 PM by Ren | Permalink
Wow, was I surprised today.
Wonderbread and Krysdol came to Kingsville for lunch. That was cool. I wasn't expecting that at all. And then...they bought me lunch. wow.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
I so wasn't expecting that at all. So it was good, I guess. Alright, back to work.
Is it bad?

Is it bad that it's 7 December and I haven't started Christmas shopping yet? Well not really, I'm lying. I already bought Freaky her present. And I know what I'm getting Krysdol and Wonderbread. So it's not like I haven't put any thought into the matter; seriously though, I haven't bought anything yet.
I should probably start freaking out soon, right?
Also, is it stupid to still be all happy about the surprise lunch from yesterday?
It is, isn't it?
F'n hell. I'm such a big dork. Oh well, I'm going to go pick up Krysdol from work so I'm gonna head out.
OOOOOOO one quick thing. I cleaned my bathroom. It smells all pretty now and Lysol-ey, and not like a boys restroom anymore! yay! Just my bedroom, my living room, and my kitchin/dining area to go. Frick.
Like I said, by the absolute very latest...tomorrow.
Stress Stress Stress

Ok
I'm not doing particularly well right now. I'm a little overstressed about this trip I have to make today. I have to go to San Antonio to deliver a girl for our commercial shoot and then come back. That's like 8 hours of driving once you figure how long it takes me to get home and get to work.
Too.
Much.
Driving.
Also, at some point in the next two days I have to finish my Defensive Driving online. Yes! you can take it online. Doesnt' that rule? It would kick serious ass if Defensive Driving didn't suck. Yeah, gotta finish that so I don't go to jail.
Christmas Shopping. I haven't even started! And our office party is tomorrow. When the hell do I have the time to go get all the stuff I need to take. Frick! No time.
There's never any time! I'm so excited....i'm so...
scared.
Right. that's enough of that. Ok, I need to go pick up the f'n rental and start my day of driving. F'n hell. *grr*
One bright spot of good news: I turned in my paperwork for the website I was getting paid on the side to do. That hopefully will happen before 20 December and I can afford Christmas!
ok. bye. too much to think about. Stressing just a little too much.
Longing

I went to see Star Trek: Nemesis tonight.
Good movie.
Saw my boy Wil Wheaton. Rock on Wil! You're rockin' like Dokken!
Tonight I was reminded how much I will miss one person in particular while he's gone. He knows who he is. But no nostalgia tonight. We laid that one down over a shot of Birthday Goldschlager. Slightly belayed...but still.
Will he be O for three tonight? Only time will tell. There are seven days left.
Way to be cryptic, Ren. Well not all that cryptic. Those who know, know. : ) Those who don't...just wait. : )
The times
15 December, 2002 at 01:53 AM by Ren | Permalink
The times...they are a-changing.
Tonight I went to one of my best friends in college graduation party. He finally got out. It was way cool-o. I was so proud of him all growed up and graduating. I heart you twelve times today Beast!
It just reminded me that as this year draws to a close, so many things are changing. He's graduating and moving on to the "real world"...one of the people who I think is the shiznittlebam is moving back to Dallas until next August (he swears it's to have my baby though...I don't know about that. I dont' recall inseminating anyone recently. . . and if I did, it sucks that I can't remember).
The coolest thing that happened tonight was that someone who previously hated me, simply because a mutual acquaintance didn't like me decided that she couldn't hate me anymore (no doubt that this is a testament to my winning personality) and apologized for "sometimes being a bitch." I said I never disliked her personally, but I did dislike that she didn't like me because someone else didnt' like me (wow, that sounds so sixth grade!). So we both apologized and made up, and even danced and stuff. It was cool. It made me feel good, because it proves to me that I am the person that I strive to be...I'm the nice, honest, nerd that everyone has grown to love.
I also saw an old roommate tonight, and as much as I disliked her right after I moved out, I've learned to forgive, move on and be friends again. I'm glad for that. It's just been a feel-good night...if anything else good happens, I'll be floored.
In a way, it's kind of sad to think of how many things are going to be different in 2003, but in a way its inevitable. People grow up, people move away, but the things that matter will still be there. So I look forward to what happens next. I know that some things will turn out exactly the way they should, it just might take a bit longer than I'm willing to wait...and some things will happen that are completely unexpected, but in the end, as perplexing as they are when they happen, they happen for a reason, so I have to choose to learn from the experience and grow as a person. Whoo, way to go Ren. Very Daily Affirmation.
I'm good enough; I'm strong enough, and doggone it, people like me!
So, as this year begins its inexorable end, I'm glad that while even though things are changing, I've had some very positive experiences in the recent past and I'm hoping that they'll get better (cuz they sure as hell could get worse.).
So, to Krysdol, WonderBread, RollerMog, Freaky, the Beast, Tia Berta, and last but not least...La Aaron I say this: I heart you guys more than any of you will ever, ever know, and I'm glad that I can call you my friends and I hope that life will find you everything your heart desires...cuz you can bet your ass I'll do whatever I can to make it happen : ) yay!
Now I'm going to bed before I overdose on saccharine. Night.
Ugh

So really, it's my own fault.
I put it off way too long.
I haven't shopped for a soul for Christmas...no, I don't mean I have to go looking for that special immortal part of me that can only be found at Old Navy...by soul, I mean person (not me). *sigh* I have to shop this week. Have to have to have to. perhaps soon, like tonight.
I don't have a clue as to what to get my Dad. This is tough, because usually any old thing will do for him. We haven't had the best of relationships recently...and now I'm rather perplexed; we've been maintaining a decent relationship, so the present *has* to be thoughtful and stuff. Damn him for going and being nice and stuff. BLAH!
Well, that's all I really have to say for right now. I'm gonna go and pretend to work or something...no wait, I'm gonna go hang with Freaky!
Oofa!

I started (yes, that's right, started) my Christmas shopping today. Never EVER put off your Christmas shopping as long as I have. Never.
I braved the perils of the Best Buy tonight. It wasn't bad, surprisingly. I got the few things out of there that I needed and only lightened my wallet by about $110. That's not bad at all. So for those of you who want to know...I got Dad, Eric and Wonderbread their presents. Well, not all of Wonderbread's present. Just half of it. Tomorrow is the rest.
As for tomorrow, the shopping list is as follows: Mom, Daniel, Krysdol. I haven't a clue what to get Mom. Dear God, I face the life-threatening danges of The Mall tomorrow. Pray for me.
Pray for me.
Hooray!

Done with the X-mas shopping.
Thank the maker.
Sorry, but Whitney Houston is on my playlist here at work; I must go dance now.

Side Thought
18 December, 2002 at 09:26 PM by Ren | Permalink
Here's something I just noticed:
I can usually read Krysdol REALLY well; sometimes, though, I can't tell whether she's up to something, or she's really just clueless about something. This tends to happen mainly when I think I'm wrapped so tightly in my own shit, I can't use my jedi powers to figure it out.
Still, it's interesting to note that sometimes Krysdol's thoughts can elude me. She'll probably read this and go "HELL YEAH!"
See, I know you all too well Krysdol. ; )
Sick
19 December, 2002 at 10:13 AM by Ren | Permalink
Don't ever do what I've just done this morning.
Don't ever wake up starving, then go to work where the girls have made cookies just for Christmas...so you pour yourself some coffee and eat like 3485702835 cookies. It just makes you sick to your stomach.
It's terrible. Damn. I swear to you guys, I'm about ready to vom. Post more later.

It sure is a long time, isn't it RollerMog? : )
Merry Christmas
24 December, 2002 at 10:36 AM by Ren | Permalink
I forgot to mention that I drove to San Antonio yesterday. Yeah. Oops about that. So here I am...on DIALUP mind you, updating to my website. . .cuz I know that there's 4 of you who actually care.
So, I'm in San Antonio. Its nice, but it sucks too. My Mom doesn't have phone in her new apartment yet. So I have to travel to her old house to go check my email. It's horrific. Almost worse than having to use dialup. DIALUP!
Anyway, last things last. I probably won't get to post again until the 26th, so until then, Happy Christmas (just pretend I'm British, oK?) and stuff!
I heart you guys!
Merry Srismas!

It's Christmas day, about 11 in the morning...I'm at my Mom's house responding to some email and playing with my brand new palm pilot...excuse me "Pocket PC." I love it. It's the bestest thing ever! And Dad was even good enough to get the warranty on it. . .so when I drop it this time around, I won't be mobile computer-less. : ) TANKS!
I got a phone call from WonderBread, and he sounded a little concerned...of course when I called back he wasn't there anymore. DOH!
Here's something totally unrelated but still funny. My brother, yes, the crackhead, told all his friends in Dallas that I was killed in a drive-by. Hehehehehe, SEE, i told you I shouldn't have bought him anything for christmas. I'm dead, I can't afford to buy him anything.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone! Call me if you need me for anything. I'll get the message...eventually : )
Christmas Aftermath
26 December, 2002 at 02:52 PM by Ren | Permalink
Whoo boy. I'm tired. I'm beat. Christmas is just too much sometimes...well mainly when you have a 7 year old around. Yeah, definitely then.
Anyway, I got some cool stuff for x-mas. I got a new palm pilot, this one is an iPaq...in color! *drool* I heart it 4 times already.
I hate dialup. Have i mentioned that yet? I really do. It's damn slow, and I have like 400 junk messages to clean out of my junk email. This blows! Besides, I don't want to read about sexy cum-bathed sluts. *sigh* not on Christmas Break!
Right, that was random. I'm hoping to go home (that is back to Corpus Christi) tomorrow afternoon. It's been a great week here with the fam, but I'm ready to go back to my own little house where I can stay up til 5 in the morning and sleep til 2 without having a little brother who says "Wake up, that much sleep is bad for you!"
Talk to you soon!
