You Are 78% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care. Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.

Just Relax

So what is going on with me? Well, I decided to take a few days away from everything and hide out at Kat and Chuck's place. In addition I got my documents sent to Korea...666 bucks for a few pieces of paper...that was the cheapest. Anyway, I be remebursed for all my expenses. But it is kinda hard to be remebursed when there is nothing to start with. I get by though. I decided not to do the bathroom attendant position. My time is kinda spread thin lately.

My brother has taken the position my mother would take were she techno-skilled and is finding a whole bunch of stuff about this trip and how many people who have come before have had bad experiences. Very little matches up to what is happening to me though. For instance, many people complain that they were fired or dismissed from their contract early and didn't get their finally pay. Well, they taught in private schools, which are privatly funded, I am going to a public school which is goverment funded so the school need not worry about my pay. That is just one of many differences between me and the people who had bad experiences, but mainly the biggest one.

I am leaving the 12th of June. What time I'm not sure. Also, I'm not certain whether I'll leave on the 12th my time or their time. They are 14hrs ahead of us so Sunday the 11th at say 6pm is 8am the 12th...get my meaning. So I might not have a last Sunday game but I'll keep planning like I would.

Kat and Chuck are holding a good-bye party for me on the 10th of June. Kat is going to get a hold of everyone and then ask for RSVP's so she can get a head count.

I might be going on a short road trip to Chicago. I need to pick up my work visa at the Korean Embassy and the closest one is in Chicago. I tried to ask our little Chicago native-ish to go with since she know Chicago a hell of a lot better than I. But we'll see if she can swing the days free from her job. She also might be kinda upset...she isn't allowed to the party...her and I will hopefully work something out though.

I'm still on schedule at the TV station. I was afriad that after I put in my 2 weeks they would boot me but they didn't. They know all about the trip now and won't schedule me again without my permission on days that I told them I am taking off.

The rest of my money gathering is from donating and babysitting. Not much but something right?

I still need to talk with roommates about things...haven't been home in the past 3 days really.

I'm also going to see what I can do about getting people for X-Men 3 today. Since I have been out for a while they may no twant to go anymore...who knows.

I had a few bad days lately and so now I've stop a few things or putting things off for a while. Not to long but these days really sucked so I'm stopping my stuff and doing a few things I was scheduled to do. I.e. bachalor party, movie with friends, donate, work, wedding, game night. stuff that I did normally. But I'll be back on track in few days.

OMG, OMG, OH MY F*ING GOD

Okay,....sorry, I'm am writing this immediatly after I got off the phone with the Korea Company...and I'm actually writing my thoughts right now but I need a breather...., .... okay. I'm leaving the 8th of June....I gave it a lot of thought and I feel this is a good date to leave....I can't believe I'm doing this....I'm actually shaking cause I don't know if this is the right thing to do....I'm nervous, I'm scared, I'm excited, somebody put shit in my pants....oh man, The biggest worry I have right now is that I may not be working immediately when I get there. Work visa stuff. But I will be taken care of by the school. My concern is how much will they take care of me. I have a place, a job, and an allowence for a few weeks but I think I have the allowence only when I start and since I'm not starting right away, I need to have some money in my account. I'll get a nice pay check for my time at SCOLA, I'm still trying to get the position at the playhouse, I'm donating plasma, and babysitting for Kat. That is some money but not what my family would feel would be optimal to have when I go. They say at least $2000....yeah right, to do enough work for me to get that kinda money in this short of time is sell my body (which I am not morally opposed to doing, cept for the fear of old lady ass). Then, my family said how about $1000. That is my monthly income before bills, expense, entertainment, and fuel. From the looks of it I could get around 300-400 by the time I go and that will have to do....they have ramen and noodle stuff, and rice has to be cheap there swimming in it for crying out loud.

I picked the 8th cause of the bacholar party, jennie's wedding, hopefully 2 sunday game sessions, 6 days of donating, and 3 days of babysitting, something is going on the 6th...I don't remember what...and that leaves 1 weekend (the 3rd of June) for a going away party for yours truly. I was flip flopping between the 8th or the 12th....

....
....
....
....
Okay, after writing I gave it a little more thought and I asked for the 12th. I won't know until he writes me back cause the other time was a phone call and I don't have his number. Cross your fingers. I'm kinda jumping out of my skin cause it is so soon. I figure that it gives me a few more days for money (if my job lets me work, I'm gonna tell them tomorrow and we'll see if they schedule me or just let me go), one extra day for a possible party and one more day for a sunday game. Course if it is okay, I'd like that day to be a massive Munchkin game (I just got my new deck to add to it, Steeds and Hirelings). Big group, (well, probably only five or six will show...seeing my luck with making plans for group gatherings....you guys suck....come to my party:)) wine, women, song, kill the monster, steal the treasure, backstab your friends; just like irish-pirate-pastafarians should celebrate the leaving of on of their mates.

I'm trying to come up with the idea of how to continue playing sunday games while I'm there. Some thoughts/suggestions: buy neverwinter nights and write games in it then give it for you guys to play (everyone will have to get a copy, around 30 bucks for complete package each); Mick buys vent (a headset communication that can be done over the web), he attaches the speakers instead of ear phones so everyone can hear me and you press a button and speak into a mic so I can hear you, or some other mic system (I have currently have vent for WoW) (about 15 bucks); or conference call with me on speaker (phone bills).

Anyway, no word yet on the 12th, will let you know. If not, then the 8th and cya if you don't make the party.

Oh, and if you want to spend time with me before I go let me know,...that is outside of the party, i.e. like taking my out to the titty bar ;) ;), drinkin', partying, movies, zoo, camping, stuff like that....your buying :)

Korea Bound

Well, I'm offically going to Korea. I can't believe it, I'm kinda scared. But I know that this is what I have to do, if I miss this I would regret it for a long time. I'm kinda glad that I know I'm going for definate now. Now all I have to worry about is...everything else :/. I still don't have an exact date to when I'm leaving, and I have asked repeatedly, all I get is mid of June. Hell, I really know is that I start mid of June, which means I'll probably leave a lot earlier than that, getting set up and what not. I don't even have my documentation that says I graduatated yet. Its coming but not soon enough, it feels like. But, yeah, ...I'm going...to Korea...what have I done...jk. I am meant to travel, I kinda hate it here and maybe this is what I really need. They say that it is possible to renew your contract, most do anyway. So maybe 2 years and goodbye student loans. Hell, with 3 I'll turn a profit. Oh well.

In other news, I never did get around to starting my fast and exercise. Why? Cause people and events keep happening. My mom and brothers keep giving me food and I was brought up not to waste it, but if I do the fast, it will go rotten. Exercise, yeah, like I haven't been overly stress about stuff to even sit an concentrate for one minute. Well, no more. My brother got me a gift basket for graduation. Games, books, food, beer, rootbeer, candy, beer glasses, sushi coupons, recipes for beer flavered food...huh...that is a lot of beer oriented stuff...(shrugs). And 40hrs ain't bad along with a part-time as a bathroom attendent in the playhouse...Chuck pulled 300 dollars on a Saturday night. Bank.

Also, we are not moving to Dawn's. She freaked out and pretty much decided that it wasn't happening. :/ It would have given me to much stress anyway, moving and moving.

I also decided on buying myself something. I was trying to organize my Munchkin decks so that I could trim dwom the cards for games; well, in order to do that, I had to find the card lists of each installment, not hard just tedious, but I like that sort of stuff. Anyway, I found out that there is a new series of cards. Deck 4, The Need for Steed. I have 1, 2, 3, munchkin blender, and munchkin dice (which came with extra cards). Munchkin blender is make big munchkin decks go faster. This new instalment is more munchkin but now we get mounts to add to our arsenal...cool. So that is on the way now. I like this stuff. Fun for everyone. Oh, if you don't know what Munchkin is, it is a card game that is a satire against D&D. Like you races and classes and find armor and treasure and monsters, but so much more; here is an example: Say I'm a half elf/half orc Warrior/Bard/Wizard, I have the Two-handed Sword (which lets me carry an extra item in my hands cause the sword has 2-hands...get it)...of Doom, the stab-o-matic (which lets me backstab like a thief), and the Sword of Slaying Everything but Squid which is Poisoned, and I'm cheating (with a cheat card) to use the Blessed Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment; I wear a fake beard which lets also be considered a dwarf, a revealing costume (which increases in points when I change gender because in tears in "inapporpiate places") Flamming Armor, the Spring-loaded Bad-Ass Bandana, and the boots of running really fast; I an faced with the monster Squilzilla (a level 20 monster that kills and kills) So right out my Sword of Slaying Everything but Squid which is Poisoned doesn't work cause it is a squid (catching on), but I can beat it with all my bonus still so the other players decide to prevent that, They throw numerous things to beef up the monster and debuff me, forcing me to run away of which I have to roll a 4,5 6 cause of the boots of running really fast. If I don't make it, I die and everyone gets to loot my body. I start the next turn at the same race, class, and level but with anything else. The stratgey of the game is Kill the Monster, Steal the Treasure, Stab Your Buddy. The object of the game is to get to level 10 first. You get levels by killing monsters, selling items, special cards, etc. Easy right? Wrong. You also have to deal with others stopping you or you stopping them from getting to 10 by curses, and beefing up the monsters they face. It is a lot of fun. You can trade cards at ANY time. Partner up, then turn around and screw them and no hard feelings, cause that is how the game is played...only one can make it to 10...actually that is wrong. If more than one person makes it to level 10 at the same time then they both win...but that hasn't happened yet...hell, it is possible for everybody to win at the same time...but that hasn't happened either...lots of stabbing you friends.

Well, I got to work at 8am but it takes about 35min to drive so night all.

P.S. I don't think Becky is very happy that I'm going...

Frell

So I got this gig at a Television station that does news shows from all over the world. On my first day I get anally raped for a schedule. Apperently, I'm the new bitch of the station and I don't get a say on the days I work at all. I have to cover for someone...not asked to cover for someone...HAVE TO cover for someone on the two days I told them I wouldn't be able to work. One is Kat and Chuck's barbeque...okay, big deal, they may have another soon...but the other is on the evening that I organize and host an event every week for friends to get together, that normally wouldn't do so, and have fun. Now this would be a big deal for us to miss one week but we have missed the past week and week is Jennie's wedding. Granted this would be abig deal but I did get accepted to Korea and I will be gone in about a month. I would probably get fired if I told them but I need money. So I have to cancel it again...It totally sucks cause they are taking more advantage of me than they know. I got the job for some extra cash before I go to Korea to teach English. So I'm quitting anyway but they don't know that yet. Not to mention totally fucking up my schedule for my other jobs, it looks really good that I might get a job at Red Cross and I might score a job at the Playhouse. Lots of money pouring in, of which they gave no consideration for, granted they don't know, but they do know that I was looking for other jobs cause they were only giving me 24hrs a week. Well, now I have 40 but these other jobs pay way better than this one and 40hrs with 7.80 and hour is not that great. This totally bites the dust...but GoGo, Dyme, and Twwly have new sets so world is looking up. Besides I only have to put up with shit for another month then I'm gone, I think.

I haven't really accepted the job to Korea. I'm worried that with all these job offers I might not get one when I come back...Luck runeth over kinda thing...At least I get today off and my brother is buying me dinner cause of graduation and Mother's day (my mom is coming also).

Sucky McSuckerstein

Party bombed, only 6 people showed all night, but at least the apartment sparkles now. And I got a 6 pack of Guinness +3 and bottle of Capt. Morgan out of it.

I also heard of a great D&D T-shirt that is out there..."Jesus Saves..." on the front, "For Half Damage..." on the back...that makes me smile.

Anyway, I feel like burning out my eyes and making my ears bleed so I'm watching Flash Gordon...lata.

What be new

I dun did gradumatate.

I got a quick job workin with Aussie at a television station. I'll be in uplink control.

I have an interview with American Red Cross and with Boys Town Research Hospital next week.

I haven't really heard back from Korea. Last email I got was, the guy I email with, they were interested in me and I should hear from them on Tuesday...that was last Tuesday...that morning I got an email saying he didn't hear anything yet and he hope to hear the next day...last Wednesday...I haven't heard anything since. I'm not worried, if I don't get this position I can always get another down the road...one way or another I'm going to Korea to teach for a year.

Our moving plans have hit a snafu. Our soon to be roommate kinda had her cold feet sorta thing and asked if we could back out of the situation...about a week before we gave our one month notice to our landlords...well, we talked to our landlords and they said we could retract our notice and continue to stay here, but truth be told, I knew D was just freakin out and would calm down after a little time went by but then when Miss Lynn told me we could stay and that she now wants to stay and not move, a sudden wave of anger and disappointment came over me, I realized I had been looking forward to this move for a while. Let me break it down for ya.

If we move and then I hear from Korea, I was very willing to pay D for storage of my stuff cause I knew I would be back in a year and everyone would still be there. But if we don't move and I go to Korea I will have to move all my stuff out and into storage cause Becky and Jason have talked about getting a different place and I can't count that they will be there in a years time. Now lets look at it from the no Korea. If I move and no Korea then I am in a bigger house (not apartment) with my very close friends. If we stay and no Korea, well,...I noticed something I enjoyed being in this place when I was in school; it is comfy and cozy, kinda like a cushy cage. Well, it was nice to be closed in while I went to school cause it felt like I had little to do besides school work. Well, now I'm done. I feel free and I want more space. So I still want to move. We all sat down to talk and D is giving it a good think.

Oh, and though I may have 2 jobs here in the future...game night will never be affected. It is my safety, my down time. Sure going to the movie is my other and I enjoy it thoroughly. But game night is where I can let my imagination run.

That is all that is recent I guess...

Oh and my party is in a few hours. I have 3 beers, no munchies, and no money...Looks like I host'in :)

Life with news breaks

I decided to ask for an extension cause this last paper isn't going well. 20+ pages of a lit review basically. It isn't hard, just kinda mind numbing. I noticed that I can only work for about 5hrs straight before I notice that I fell asleep 2hrs ago. Anyway, I found out that I actually have til May 10th which is last day grades are due. This will be done by Tuesday though.

In other news, a plane crashed in my bathtub last night killing no one cause it was a toy. Tonight at 11.

Becky and Jason are in Washington D.C. til Wednesday, which is when Becky comes back and Jason comes back about week after that. Why they are away, I don't know. I would say "Party over here" but I still have this paper and no money so...tough.

We started to pack up our stuff to start the move and already told our landlords so the move is certain. We are moving in with Dawn, who has a freak'n big house around 35th and harrison/hamilton (I can never remember which street name it is...it is about 3 blocks north of Cumming). Anyway, we already have a problem. About 2 weeks ago there was stray outside our place meowing its head off. I said if comes back a couple more times we'll let it in and find its home. So...2 weeks later we still have the stray. Well, Dawn has a tiny, spazzy, dog. Jasper (my cat) likes dogs so much that dogs kinda fear him. He has this thing about jumping on their backs and spring off with his back claws (cause he has no front claws), and Mercury (becky's cat) I don't' think has ever met a dog. Well, Dawn is cool with 2 cats but not 3. Which I fully get, I'm not a cat person, and yes I know 'if you're not a cat person then why do you have a cat?' Long story short, I saved its life now I am responsible for it. Personally, after this cat dies...no more animals...just plants. Anyway, it is a big house but 3 cats and a dog is a lot. Becky is hoping Dawn will cave but I don't think so. We're trying to find a good home but nothing yet. Thankfully this isn't a deal breaker for the move though.
...

Millions of people are falling unconscious for 4, 5, and even 8 hours a day. What is this sleep thing and how vulnerable are you to it? We'll investigate. Tonight at 11.

I saw MI:III yesterday. I wanted to see how well the bad guy was, Phillip Seymour Hoffman I think. He reminded me a lot of his part in Punch Drunk Love but with absolute power and a gun. Pretty good though. Then I found out it was directed by J.J. Abrams; same guy who is directing Lost and Alias. He is 2 out of 3 for decent director (Alias sucks my ball hair).

I also saw An American Haunting. Mainly because Rachel Hurd-Wood was in it. She played Wendy in the latest Peter Pan film. I think she's cute. She did really well. I think I understand the film (about 98% sure). Towards the end they reveal the truth of why this plot is occuring and they do using scenes we already have seen, but it didn't happen that way. Like there is this one scene when something is happening to Rachel and eveyone is watching it happen but when they tell us the truth it is the same scene, but it could haven't happened the way the truth makes it out cause eveyone was watching and something else would have drastically happened immedatlly were it to happen they way the truth told it. Did I lose you? Anyway, I can only assume that it was what happened earlier in their lives but happen the exactly same way as the scene we were given. Cool, movie though. Comes with a few facts before and after the story.

I still waiting on Korea. I got a message a few days ago that the school in Korea is interested in me but I'll hear a final word on Tuesday. In the meantime, I have applied to many places but so far only SCOLA, cox channel 4, is kinda interested; I'd be the uplink/master control room. Waiting to hear back from them.

Finally got off my ass to go Donate plasma again. Not much but every little bit helps...money that is.

I think that is it...

Burning ball of flamable gas in the sky. Why doesn't burn us all to death? Tonight at 11.
