As if allergies and being overworked weren't giving me a big enough headache....
...kilolux had to come along and make it infinitely worse
Quick backstory: This "article" from OKCupid was posted in TQC. counterfeitfake, being counterfeitfake, decided to post this charming question to TQC as a follow up: What is your guys' problem? [...] Could you try to get a grip?

I moved!
This past weekend, we managed to borrow a truck from my godfather, who is awesome, and move all the furniture. So, I'm no longer stressed about moving...instead, I'm stressed about unpacking, and finishing painting, and decorating, and so on... But we'll get there, and I'm still super excited to have help paying my mortgage, in the form of a good ( Read more... ) -
Long time, no post...yeah yeah, let's talk about me!
So, a little over a week ago (Saturday July 24th) my parents' basement flooded. While they were out of town. Which meant Amos, Matt (the brother) and I got to clear out several inches of water on our own, while attempting to rescue electronics and sports memorabilia.

Yes, rage is much better than coffee, thank you
Not sf_drama appropriate, posting it here and x-posting to rage_free
This morning, on my way in to work, I decided to turn on the radio and listen to some morning talk show nonsense, as a change from my usual "rock concert in the car" routine.

The one where my Mom says something completely unexpected

Making an effort with some random updates and rambling...
So, the problem / benefit to Amos coming to karaoke is it means I don't have to drive home, and therefore do not have to stop at 1 - 2 beers. Which meant last Saturday I got into the Jameson, and last night I went to town on the Blue Moon. Which makes the mornings after a lot less fun, let me tell you, although I can at least be proud I made it ( Read more... ) -

So, using a bit of my Xmas money from my parents, I finally caved and got a paid account. Therefore, I've updated my layout, font, etc. I've also added a custom mood theme. Yay me ( Read more... ) -
For those of you in the Chicago Area
Re-posting from qweerdo, originally from karnythia:
Help bring Brianna home
This is my son's cousin. She may have run away, but we don't know that for sure. The police are treating her as a runaway so there is no Amber Alert. If you have seen this girl and have any information please contact the Chicago police at (312)747-8274. Or if you are just willing to ( Read more... ) -
Random thoughts and entertainment
So, the trainees are busy with an exercise, so I have a few minutes to entertain myself, and I must say, I have done so quite well. The following is an article I found on tRCMB (the Red Cedar Message Board - for MSU Spartans, mostly athletics, and often a vulgar, ridiculous place, IMO) and couldn't resist re-posting.
How to use an apostrophe
