Rant: So I found out a few weeks ago that I'm not going to be graduating on time. I'm going to have to stay enrolled, part time in school, for the next year. 12 fucking credits that HAVE to be taken in sequence, aren't even actual classes, and I've already done the equivalent work for them that wasn't pre-approved, so I don't get the credit. Rant: Get to watch my roommates and all my friends go to convocation today and graduation tomorrow. Oh wonderful. What's even better is knowing that they're all going out and doing work and continuing with their lives, while mine is going to basically stay on hold until this time next year, unless I can finagle some way to move, which is going to be difficult enough without this shit hanging over my head. Rant: Film I poured my soul into mixing was only nominated for an award. It didn't win because it was too long. It was the best goddamn movie out of everything that played. God damnit.
RANT: Shitty programmers that artificially set upper boundaries on shit by selecting the wrong data type, and not catching the errors properly, and causing an entire site to blow up right at the very start of the WDT. Fuckers. RAVE: Got your back, TiB. You're welcome.
Rave: Reconciled with the man the other day, he admitted to being a giant turd. Giant Rant: Blood work he went for a few weeks ago came back today, the Dr is using words like ' possibly Hodgkin's' and 'chemo'. Won't know for sure until next Tuesday. What kind of mindfuck is that to leave him with for 4 days?! I think I'm gonna go smoke a joint.
RANT: What the fuck is wrong with customers this last week or so? Complete assholes. I've been doing this job for years and have never seen this level of asinine nit picking before. RAVE: Going to Tahoe with this really cool girl for a weekend filled with booze, gambling and sex. Take that asshole customers. Fuckers. I think my RANT continued on into my RAVE
RANT: Cold, foggy day. DOUBLE RANT: An unkindness of ravens in the tree outside my office window, croaking god-knows-what at me all afternoon. Between the two, it's eerie as all-get-out. If I'm suddenly dragged off to dimensions unknown by eldritch horrors, I can't say I wasn't warned.
RAVE Husband, from behind bathroom door: "Baby! Come in here." Me, comfy on couch with laptop: "Why...?" Husband: "Just do it!" Me: "Ok..." Opens the bathroom door, to find naked husband examining his crotchal region. Momentarily freak, everyone knows no good comes of needing to examine the crotchal region. Husband: "Look at this!" Palpates ballsack. "I have two long white ball hairs!" Continues to palpate ballsack and shove in my general direction for further inspection. Me: "OMG! You do!" Keels over laughing. Avoids general direction of sweaty ballsack. The memory of said interaction will be good for random giggles for a week, at least. MAJOR RAVE: Going home in 3 days! USA! USA! USA! I will be proceeding directly from the airport to 1) a mani/pedi for $20 (which would be precisely 1/3 of the cheapest one available here), 2) the spiciest, freshest salsa we can throw together, and 3) our glorious glorious pillow top mattress with box spring for my first good night's sleep in 4 months. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you Brits? Salsa is not supposed to be sweet and there are no karmic points awarded for toughing it out in a shitty bed. RANT(ish): I'll miss London. This is a seriously happening place. We will be back, oh yes, we will be back.
Rave: Score one for the good guys!! My precheck tomorrow is with the same instructor I flew with yesterday! I know what he'll ask, how he'll ask it, and what I need to know already. Rave: After my two checks on Monday and Tuesday, I solo Wed, to the map cutty thing on Thursday, then I just found out that Friday is a no fly day for a safety stand down!! Rant: I get to spend Friday at the court house trying to minimize my speeding ticket fine...
RAVE: It just hit 26° C outside. I just finished cutting my lawn. I went for a swim in my lake. I have a big hunk of a rib roast on the bbq slow cooking, a cooler full of beer on ice, and a few friends are on their way over from their impromptu "fuck it, we're taking the afternoon off" golf game. We're also going sturgeon fishing tomorrow. Life is fucking awesome.
RAVE Arrived at the airport ready to start my long weekend with old friends! RANT Talked to one of the girls picking me up and they are here at the airport in the waiting section, but now her car won't start. Good start!
Rave: Told a girl from therapy with body issues that she's hot today. Rave: She is hot! And a badass. I've never seen her smile so big. I hope she works out her issues so we can go on a date.
Rant: Got shin splints like a MOTHERFUCKER today. Rant: It was during a Frisbee game. Seriously, I've been running every day for the last week, and it's a FRISBEE game that makes my legs go "Hell No, We Won't Go?" Rant: The CWO4 was there and thought I was hobbling because I wasn't trying hard. He hasn't seen me run yet, so the Frisbee game was his first impression of my physical fitness. Awesome first impression there.
Yesterday was quite the day: Rant: Woke up at 7 AM after going to bed at 3 AM Rave: To go adventuring! Rant: Couldn't find the trailhead and drove on shitty dirt roads for an hour and a half Rave: Doubled back and found the trailhead Rant: Weren't sure if we were on the right trail and didn't find the spot we were looking for Rave: Had sex in the middle of a creek Rave: Decided to go a bit further and came across the spot we were looking for Rave: Naked cliff diving Rant: Water was cold Rant: Dislocated my shoulder on one of the jumps Rave: Stumbled upon a nurse and an EMT out hiking Rave: Nurse gave me advil Rave: EMT gave me whiskey Rant: Hike back was uphill Rave: Ate two full meals at In N' Out Rave: Went down on a girl for 58 minutes (yes I checked the time signature of a text message I sent immediately before we started) Rave: "Do you want to go to breakfast?" "Nah, I ate a lot yesterday and I'm not that hungry yet" "The In N' Out?" "Oh yeah, we did go to In N' Out yesterday"
Rave: making progress on hooking up with super hot girl Rant: making progress on hooking up with super hot girl.. from work.. fuck.
Rave: Had one of those sex sessions when I was drunk enough to last a really long time but not so drunk that I couldn't cum eventually. I wrecked her. She loved it.
Rave: About to shower and go into work for a few hours on a Saturday morning and I don't mind one bit. I can just work on whatever I want and soak up some overtime because I'm on my own schedule. Rave: It's only 7:30? Jesus. I've taken the dog outside, sorted laundry, cooked breakfast and washed the dishes so far. It feels like it should be at least 10:00 by now. I've got an entire day ahead of me. That's awesome.
Rave: It is now 6:15 pm in Afghanistan, and no sign of the Rapture. Unless you count the shit I took about an hour ago. Rant: Can't relax yet, I'm not sure the onset of the Rapture would even be noticeable here.
RAVE: I could get used to this. Spoiler RANT: The Father will be keeping it up north, so any opportunity to use it will require at least a 6 hour round-trip drive. /xpost
Rant: there's nothing like coming out of the shower to find your mom digging through the entire contents of your purse. Stuff like this is why our relationship is rocky at best and I'm much closer to my aunt than I've ever been with my mom. She has a personality disorder and for years now people have told me I need to get as far away from her as possible. I've kept her at arms length but always defended her. This is the last straw. I'm going to my new apt with a broken AC and completely cutting ties. I'm facing facts: she is crazy and will continue to negatively affect me as long as she's in my life.
