Holy shit....
I almost forgot I had a livejournal! DAMN it's been a long time since I updated... just about half a year! wellllll where do I start?
ok, shortly after the Sagan scenario, I wound up moving to Knob Noster to live with my sister. (btw nothing came out of the Sagan scenario... she's just some dumb broad who doesn't know a good thing when it's staring her right in the face)
I wound up finding a job at a 24 hour gas station, overnight shift... wasn't bad, wound up getting a lot of reading done, which is something I've been meaning to do for awhile now... I do so love to read...
I wound up getting fired from that job because a trucker came in, got $200 in diesel fuel, and paid with a card that I was not trained on how to run through the machine... since I was the only one in the store I couldn't exactly turn and ask my manager. so anyways, I ran it the only way I knew how to run a card on that damn piece of shit cash register and wound up losing the store $200.... nice, huh? so I ran my happy ass right over to McDonalds right after I was fired and talked to the manager about hiring me. so not more than a week after I was fired I had a job at McDonalds.. yuck.. there's reasons I said I never wanted to work there again... and after working there again, I was well refreshed with those reasons once more. there's always ONE person... ONE PERSON..... GAHHH anyways... I got fired from there too... don't put an insomniac on morning shift...
So, then my 22nd birthday rolled around.. remember how I always said I wanted to make it a replacement 21st birthday? yeah kinda hard to do when you don't have money or a job... so my 22nd birthday was just as bad.. no worse than my 21st because nobody wanted to hang out with me on my birthday :(
I did wind up getting a very beautiful guitar, as well as guitar hero world tour for the PS2 though... that was cool...
some drama happened sometime in late November... between my mom and sister.... basically, mom came by to drop off a sofa, or at least that's what she told me. I let her in the apartment, then had to jet because I needed to put a new alternator in my car. then I hear from Alex saying my mom tried stealing her bed. so Alex locked her out of the apartment, snuck out the back, and tried to leave. My mom saw her, ran over, grabbed her keys, and slammed her against the truck and tried to strangle her. My sister called the cops and my mother was asked to leave the area. talk about your HOLY SHIT moments....
So anyways then I moved out here to St. Louis with my dad. The first 2 weeks of living out here were rough, since this economy sucks so badly that any kind of job searching is impossible... in the 2 weeks I put in roughly 60 applications, resumes... that doesn't even include the amount of online apps I've put in... so after about a week and a half of having been here, I start browsing okcupid.com... it's intended to be a dating site, but I decided to check it out as a networking resource... and I generally get along better with girls anyways, so what better way than to use a site that automatically finds people for you to talk to of the opposite gender? I talked to a few people, made a couple friends, and then randomly noticed someone view my profile. her screen name was 1derland. so I got to talking to her, and as we talked, I started to like what I was hearin... and the more we talked, the more I liked. so I suggested that we meet up somewhere sometime for a date, and she agreed!
lemme repeat that. she agreed!
so we talked for awhile on AIM before our date, and I got to like her even more every time I talked to her... we haven't disagreed on anything yet as far as I can remember... NOPE wait.. she dont like sushi... other than that we're practically kindred spirits. it's like, she's the everything to my everything. I think I even finished a couple of her sentences for her without meaning to.. lol! her name is Alice... she is just... RIGHT for me... I dunno how else to put it! I'm gonna go slow on this one though, I do have higher priorities on my list right now than girls... but she's definitely on the priority list... just not above WORK... which brings me to the date, which went swimmingly! unfortunately I won't be able to see her again until mid january... she's going back home to New Mexico to visit family for the holiday... *sadface*
but not sad for long, i have a really great job that keeps my mind off of it because it's just... AWESOME
I work at NGA (National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency) under a contractor (Martin Construction) and we do demo work... aka we tear shit up! I LOVE TAKING THINGS APART!!! this is such a badass job! it's so easy, so fun! and the pay is.... UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!! 38 bucks an hour? 8 hours a day, 4 days a week?
somebody pinch me, I'm dreaming!
so yeah, Tommy, this is what you have missed out on hearing about so far... dude you are harder to get ahold of than Sparslow! give me a call!!! I haven't heard from my best friend in 2 weeks, it makes me sad!
