I’m Hearing: Nothing

Well, Rosey wanted me to do that high school survey thing that’s posted in the entry below…I figured it was long enough to warrant its own space. God, I really really really hated high school. It was one of the worst periods of my life. Meeting my writing teacher was the only good thing that came out of high school because that alone has shaped me into who I am now more than anything else. It was because of her that I met Jonathan (when I helped teach the summer creative writing class) and because of Jon that I met Adam (my first boyfriend and first love) and because of Adam that I stayed in Oshkosh and because of Jon that I got so involved in computers…and it all stems from that. Taking that job was the best decision I could have made.

So yeah…I really don’t want to think about high school any more than I have to. Not fond memories in general.

I was feeling rather low this morning as I woke up. Last night I hung out with TR, Jeff, Becky and Andy. We had some beer and watched Old School and The Shining…didn’t get as much out of it since I was two sheets to the wind, so I’ll have to watch it again when I’m in a better frame of mind.

But I’m starting to get really upset about not having a job. I have one day left at my current job and then I’m unemployed. MEH! My boss took my coworker and I out for lunch today, which was really nice. I’m going to miss this so much ;_;

I’m really annoyed at Dreamweaver MX 2004 for OSX. It has some major fricken issues that cause it to crash anywhere from 1 to 5 times a day (on average)…just doing regular stuff. Dreamweaver MX was just as bad, but with 2k4, they’ve added more features that make it worse. Augh. It’s slow as molasses for some odd reason…like, you start typing a sentence, and for the next minute you watch the letters appear on the screen character by character. It’s ridiculous because this machine has a 1GHz processor and a gig of ram in it…there is no reason this should be running so slowly and inefficiently. I don’t understand why we don’t use PCs at work for web design, but I guess it’s just because all the people here are MacPeople(tm). The odd thing is…this program works flawlessly…and fast on my PC…I don’t get it!!! One day left of this situation…I’ll be glad not to have to deal with the DWMX Mac issues but I’ll miss the jorb. :-(

My roommate Alisha got a dog from the Humane Society this week. His name is Spirit, and he’s a black lab mix, about a year old. Such a sweet and loving dog…I should take some pix. Speaking of pix, before he came, I crawled into his kennel because I knew I’d be the only one who could fit in there…it was fun but I was sitting on my wallet the whole time so that was a bit painful. XD

Hrm…Brian, Will, and I met with the SBDC on Monday and got a packet of information, which was really helpful. It seems that we’ll only have to fill out about 3 forms to be a legal business…so that rox. I’ll have plenty of time to look that stuff over starting next week when I don’t have to be anywhere during the weekdays. :\ I guess that’s a blessing and a curse. I’ll be getting a lot of sleep hopefully, but I’ll try to make the most of the opportunity I’ve been given. Perhaps I’ll be able to come up with a solid webpage design by the end of next week (not sure about the logo though…that may take longer depending on how motivated I am.) I’m really going to try to be productive instead of lounging around looking at things in my room, wondering what to do. I do that way too often…I’ll just sit and stare, trying to decide what I’m motivated enough to do, knowing I have a million projects to choose from, and just wasting time by not choosing something. Usually when that happens I just stare at my DVD rack, thinking that picking a movie out might give me something to keep my mind occupied. Usually doesn’t work though, and I just end up taking a nap or plain going to bed.

I’ve been playing The Hobbit the last few days, which has been fun. It’s a typical platformer/rpg type of game, like Ratchet and Clank. Pretty cute, rather fun, not terribly difficult. I tried playing The Fellowship of the Ring but the Black Riders kept finding me so I got frustrated and moved on.

And after about a 6 month absence, David is back online again. It’s so nice to have him back…<clings> And I started talking to this guy JP on IRC, who is a fun dude to talk to because he’s also a web designer and gaming geek. This morning Phil, Rosey, and Qiang were recording their voices and uploading samples so we could hear them talking…which was awesome. I love hearing non-American accents, especially when they’re as cute as Rosey’s…or as seksi as Phil’s. :3
