Well, Christmas is over, my parents and brother have gone back to Maryland, so it's back to the ol' nitty gritty. And time to make plans for next year, namely my birthday and my out of town vacation. And my other vacations, too, but I usually just stay home and be invisible ( Read more... )

Well, I had a good Christmas, but to me, it isn't quite over yet. We had dinner and opened presents at Grandma's house. Today my brother and I are going out to Yulee for some shopping. I want to do it nice and early, so that I'll have time to nap before I go back to work tonight ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas ( Read more... )

I cannot believe this.

Heh, I just realize that I never updated my journal to say that I got approved for the apartment.

But...

Only after signing the lease and getting approved for this apartment, we realize that we put my dad in a big financial mess. With the rent I'll have to pay for this apartment, it means my dad will have to take over the ( Read more... )

Well...I got some sad news just before clocking in last night. I found out that one of the daytime CSM's had passed away yesterday. He was having surgery, and he just...didn't make it through. I think that's pretty damn scary. I've never had any kind of surgery before, so I would be scared shitless if I ever had to have it done. To go into ( Read more... )

Now for an actual personal entry. We weathered Tropical Storm Beryl Sunday night. It was originally a subtropical storm, but it was upgraded to a tropical storm. I had my little flashlight in my pocket throughout my shift just in case. We had plenty of flickering lights and power surges throughout the night, but we managed to avoid losing power ( Read more... )

Okay, I made it home safely. And smoothly, unlike last year. I was a bit worried about what my grandmother would suggest as she drove me home from the airport. So I tried to keep her occupied by telling her all about my trip. About how we saw the Avengers twice, and how Mom saw Dark Shadows, about how we went to King's Dominion, and about our ( Read more... )

Well, this is when I go home. Part of me is glad, and part of me is sad. I look forward to my privacy, my own computer, etc. But to watch more movies, etc., I’ll have to find my own way. But Megavideo was shut down along with Megaupload. Man, it was the perfect way to stream movies online for free. I’ll have to find something else, I guess. ( Read more... )

My brother and I just went out by ourselves yesterday. We went to Walmart to buy a cheap microphone so we could do that Tales of voice meme, but when I went to the plurk where the link was posted, it was broken. So now we can’t find the link ( Read more... )

We went to King’s Dominion yesterday, and we had a lot of fun. First we went on a White Water Canyon ride. It’s a circular boat thingie that flows down a canyon thing, bouncing and spinning off the walls, and a few waterfalls and such. We almost made it without getting soaked, but just when we thought we were lucky, these water cannons sprayed ( Read more... )
