Deer hunting, rocks and tripping acid

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
–John Prine, Paradise

That last line of the song is what I wanted to point out. I really feel that way. So many times that my memories are worn. I sit back and remember all the good and bad times. Funny and embarrassed moments. All between moments. Like today I was thinking about the first time I hung out with Dustan and Connie.

The title of the entry will mean nothing to anyone else but Cody, Dustan and Connie. The four of us have that memory. I miss the fun moments of the past. I really don’t miss any of the other moments. Well, besides the happy ones. lol

I really like my life right now. I don’t like every like thing but you know what? I have been sadder, and I have been happier. I guess everything is going to work out. Well, at least I hope so. 🙂

I have a lot on my mind tonight. Not sure if I will update again or not. I have been working on tagging all my old entries. I have got done with 2008, 2007 and working on 2006. I uploaded all my old entries. That didn’t take long once I got it done.

The next step

I finally made the next step in my life. I applied for Bowling Green Technical College. I am so proud. I know it is only applying but I feel so much better to even have done it that fair.

I really wanted to go back to school for years now but I never did. I decide to just look over what they have and I found something finally. It is called Information Technology. It is a two year course but I can pick the course I want. And they have course that nothing but web design. I can finally get the a degree in what I want. I would be able to finally get a career in something I love as well. That is just dreamy and very sexy.

I am getting so happy about thinking about it. I hope that money isn’t what holds me back. Cody says he will help me fill out my info about getting loans and grants. I really hope I can get it all or most paid for. That is hoping for the best. 🙂

I really hope I can go to school and work around 32 hours a week. I think that would work out great. Go to school around 12 to 14 hours and work part time. Money is a big deal since I live on my own but maybe with the grants and loans. I can pay bills with that and not have to just work full time and die doing the rest. lol

So, you know

OMG! Like I finally did it. I finally got Crazy–Talk.Org old blog entries to come over here. I am so happy. I got all the categories in line and tags on all the entries. Now I need to work on the other entries that do not have tags. I’m doing it by months now. I’m almost done with 2008.

I haven’t been busy doing much else today. Slept in. Watch a movie with Cody. And for the past 6 hours been talking to Cammie.

Oh, yeah. I bought Crazy–Talk.Org again. I have no clue why. But you know what? It’s mine again, BITCHES! lol 🙂 I’m off to go to the ATM to get my mom my car insurance money.

God dang flipper babies

I swear to goodness I am going to freak out on someone. I swear. Everyone keeps pushing me. Mainly customer’s at work. I got hung on like 5 times. Very rude. I also got yelled out, people using very nasty language with me and wanting some really stupid request too. I mean like, I know I have 30 days to return the phone but I wait to the last day and ask if I can give the phone back to a store with no box and then at a later date ship the box back and I know I got it from online but hell, why not do this for me? I am a customer. You also signed a contract and agreed to these terms. WTF? You know?

On top of that I also worked 8am to 11 am and then from 1pm to around 10:30 tonight. You have to love overtime. I need the money but it made it very hard to keep it together today. I felt like I was going to freak out all day. As soon as I got off work tonight I cried. Awww. Very sad. I really shouldn’t be in tears because of work. I think it was just a bad night. I normally don’t hate it so bad but today just got to me. I’m pretty sure it is because I only had like 4 hours of sleep and I’m totally not a morning person. Yuck for mornings.

Then on top of it all. T-mobile is being stupid. I mean, really stupid. It took me 7 calls, 2 days and 3 hours to get no where. What happen is I have two lines. I have the G1 and another basic line. I wanted the 34.99 unlimited data and texting on the G1 and no texting on the other line. This would save me around $10 a month but T-mobile stated I can’t have the 34.99 with a family. Okay, fine I can’t but the first 3 reps told me I could. And said it was changed. The last 4 said no and couldn’t even get what I had back correct. I didn’t have any texting for almost two days. Got told it was my phone. Even though I told them, it was on both phones. I was told it was taken care of by ever rep but still it was never fix until the last rep. I like her. She didn’t lie to me. It is finally working. Finally. I mean, come on. I do this for a living. I know it can’t be that hard.

I try to be totally understanding at that point but trust me by the seventh call. I was freaking out. I use to like the T-mobile. The only thing that came out of this, somehow I ended up with almost a total of $100 credit. Amazing. My bill at this time is only around $41. Not sure how the hell that happen but I am okay with that. I guess I won’t be that upset after all. I can’t beat that price.

I watching Cody and Dustan play Halo 3. Boring. I am going to be leaving after this match. I guess I am off for now.

Rochester, NY & Niagara Falls

Cammie and Me I got back from my very awesome road trip this morning around 5am. OMG! I was so tired this morning. Over all one of my favorite and best weekends ever. One reason it being so freaking awesome. I finally got to meet my Christina (aka Cammie). We have been talking for almost 9 years now. Give or take a few months. We became friends from a site called Pick-Me.Net. Most older bloggers will remember this site. It was designed to help un-hosted people find a host on a domain. This is before everyone had a domain of their own. Back when being hosted meant something.

Meet JillMeet Jill; Jill the GPS. Dustan’s dad let us use his GPS system. Totally awesome. I don’t think I would ever travel any other way now. Very nice. If we took the wrong path, it would just find a different way to get there. It even gave the correct time you where to get there. We all took shifts driving and paying for gas. Over all it cost each one of us a total of $30 to get there and back. There was three of us and each time we would only put it $15. How cool is that? A road trip from Bowling Green, KY to Rochester, NY only took a total of $45 to get there and another $45 to get back. It just is totally amazing to me.

We went to Rochester first, stayed Saturday, Sunday night and left Monday morning. Hanging out, watching movies, playing with “Red Rocket” and laughing. I had one of the greatest times in my life. It was just nice to finally sit in the same room as my best friend in the whole world. It is so surreal now. Thinking back. It felt very surreal the whole time matter of fact.

Niagara Falls Monday when we left we decided to go by Niagara Falls on the way back home. Why not? Just an hour out of our way. Very much wroth the extra hour. We got tons of pictures. It was so pretty. Hard to put in words. I really enjoyed myself. I still can’t believe everything. Just the idea that after all this time. Christina and me planing on meeting. And we finally do it. OMG! Still freaking amazing.
