RANT: My ex-fiancee married his ex girlfriend over the holidays. While I'm a little bit bummed that he's married in general, I'm seriously disappointed that he married this particular girl. This chick is as cold-hearted as they come and it just kills me that he's chosen to be stuck with her forever. I know we never would've worked so it's easy for me to wish him all the happiness in the world...it just makes me so sad that he ended up right back where he started. I wanted better for him but it's not up to me. Ugh. I'll never understand people who just get so comfortable that they end up settling--full well knowing that they're settling--and are ok with it. What a dipshit. EMBARRASSING RANT: I found out via facebook. Fuck me. RAVE: My boy won his fantasy football league and just received the money this week. That's a rave in and of itself--I'm so excited for him!! But even better is that earlier I got the "Hey, can you ever cancel your Monday night classes?" text. Knowing how his mind works, I'm 99% sure I have Syracuse/Villanova basketball tickets coming my way! Whoohoo! Damn he's good.
Rave: got really lucky to get a great job right out of college. Rant: Damn, I miss getting drunk in the middle of the week with my college buddies. Transitioning from a college town to where I am now has been hard. Rant: Also, I wish I would have known how much math grad level econ requires before I graduated. I've taken more math in the last year than I did in the first half of my undergrad. Fuck, how did none of my undergrad teachers even mention topics like neural networks, real analysis, and Markov chains were essential to modern economics. I should have kept more up do date on the field.
Rant: Met up with my old best friend who I haven't seen or talked to in about six months. He got really bad into Oxycontin a while ago, and fucked his life up pretty bad. I heard he hadn't done any in three months, so I hit him up to hang out to see how he's doing. I could tell just by looking at him that he wasn't on OC anymore, but as the night went on it became clear that he has replaced Oc's with coke. Fuck. He's a really good guy with a ton of potential but he has an addictive personality and it sucks to see someone so oblivious to their problem.
And with hotwheelz you know you will always be a top, so that must be nice. I don't know if this is a Rant or a Rave. I'm starting to get laid enough that masturbation is becoming more of a chore, and less of a fun thing to do when I'm bored.
Rave: Yesterday was the perfect day. Woke up at 10, had some sex, and took a shower while the gf made us some breakfast. Then my buddy came over at 11:30, we tossed both of our guns, 200 rounds of ammo, and two boxes of clays in my car and went skeet shooting. Since it was a high of 20ยบ, no one else was at the range the entire time. Minor Rant: After blasting off nearly 100 rounds and hand throwing clays for my buddy, my shoulder is bruised and sore. Totally worth it, but a little uncomfortable.
We had some friends over for dinner Sunday night. He's a vet and decided to regale all of us with fun and weird vet stories. The best, by far, was a woman that walked into the office at about 8:00AM to drop her dog off at the doggy day care thing they do and asked the receptionist, with 4 other staff members around plus an other 3 or 4 customers within hearing distance, "If he poops today can you look for my vibrator?" Unfortunately, no one had the balls to ask whether or not she wanted it back.
Rant/Rave: Suppressing my inner smart-ass. While I'm not getting myself in trouble, I'm also being boring. Teacher in my first class today had us fill out an 'about me' survey so we could get to know each other. Some of the questions: "If you were a king/queen, what would your first law be?" I wanted to write "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!" but I didn't think anyone would get the reference. Most of my classmates are too young. "What would you change about yourself?" I wanted to write "I'd become a hot chick so I could just live off my good looks," but again, I didn't. "What do you consider yourself an 'expert' in?" Again, wanted to be a smartass and list things like "I'm a video game expert, and as proof, I have over 500 trophies on the Playstation 3, have beaten all of the Mega Man and Final Fantasy games, and have collected 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2. One game even said 'a winner is you!' to me, so I am a winner." Unfortunately, again, I didn't. "If you could have an alter ego, who would it be?" Apparently, when my classmates grade my papers (we grade a few papers for each other in this class), this is the name that will be on it. After thinking about putting names like "Long John Silver," "Peter North," or "John Holmes," I decided to just go with "Green Arrow." In retrospect, I like DareDevil more and should have gone with that, but Ben Affleck fucked that movie so hard that even my geeky self would've been embarrassed by it. Besides, three people around me put "Batman," so at least I'll be original. No one else will put fucking "Green Arrow" on theirs.
Rant: God damn state of Ohio. These fucking assholes decided that because they didn't receive my tax returns for 2009, I now need to send it to them. I DIDN'T LIVE IN OHIO IN 2009!!!. I didn't live there until Feb 2010 to Aug-2010. Now I have to jump through my ass to prove that I didn't live there. Even though those fucking mouth breathing hillbilly retards could pull up my wage statements by running my SSN. I swear to God, it's like Kentucky had an abortion and it spread north. Fuck. Them. In. Their. Buttholes. Rave: City of Seattle is sending me proof of account by email of my 2009 utility bill. Awesome.
Rant: 400ish complaints about snow on Facebook. Hey guys? Ummm... we live in New England. Get fucking use to it. Rave: Snowday. No one on the roads. Nowhere to be. Curled up in bed with a cat and dog and some hot blueberry acai tea (I'm still sick dammit) writing quotes and making calls. Rant: My inner ski bum wants to blow off work and head north for a day on the slopes. Unfortunately tomorrow is the one day I can't blow off going in. Sheeeeeet. Rave: Celtics game tomorrow night. KG is back and the Pistons are on a mini winning streak.
Rave: Morning sex and breakfast cooked for me. Sweet. Rant: Stupid fucking history exam on about 500 years of Mediterranean history. Rave: Get to fly my helicopter when I get home tonight. This is such a mind-blowingly fun hobby to get into. R/C Helicopters are the shit. Just gotta start off with a small one and work your way up. Don't buy one out of your league or you'll be spending hundreds in repairs. Got my first on friday and I'm already looking at upgrades to make this one faster, more precise, etc. And I'm looking at the next one I want to buy.
Rave: I started off the morning with a fantastic glass of cranraspberry juice. Yum. Then I thought that I should add some sprite, and ice.....and two shots of Absolute.I feel absolutely fantastic. I have nothing to do today. I'm going to get high as fuck. This is a rave for OBVIOUS reasons. Rant: I'm a bad, bad girl...
Rant: I was sick yesterday. Rave: Feeling better today, still yacked once this morning though. Rave: My team is looking fucking sweet. I am SO pumped. Rave: *point to left* She's baaaack. All is right.
Rave: Okay, I know this will sound weird, but I today I had the most engaging conversation I've ever had with a college professor before. A couple brief questions after class turned into a 35-minute discussion that spawned off into other subtopics of econ. It's amazing how deep the rabbit hole goes on this stuff. And it wasn't just bullshit; he even got the wheels turning on a couple topics that I've considered using in my undergraduate thesis, but haven't been sure how. It was that good. I kind of wish I had recorded the whole thing, instead of just jotting down notes. So the whole thing inspired me to finally purchase a digital voice recorder (something I've been putting off for a couple years now). Tell me, have I begun to blur the line between 'good student' and 'full-fledged fucking nerd?' He also steered me towards Greg Mankiw's blog when I asked for names of economists/books that discuss the economic influence of other sectors, particularly government, sociology, and art. Off the top of his head, that was the only name of a credible, knowledgeable source he could think of that would what I'm looking for, but if anyone here knows of anyone/anything else, I'd appreciate the input. I'm wildly fascinated about this stuff, so more is better with me. Blogs, books, certain authors...nothing's off-limits.
Jesus fucking Christ how HARD is it to use the goddamned internet to answer your questions? You motherfuckers OBVIOUSLY googled us before you called us...now USE that handy dandy website and the literacy skills gained in your years of junior college and answer your own fucking questions instead of wasting my time with your pedantic, useless, inane bullshit. And learn how to read a goddamn map.
