I HATE UPS!!!
I ordered an mp3 player from futureshop online (note: Futureshop = Best Buy in the USofA) and UPS won't let me have it!
Allow me to explain: they only seem to come in the morning when (oddly enough) everyone who lives here is either at school or work, so there's nobody to sign for the damned package when they show up... so...

I know how you feel. You can call the UPS 800 number and they will give you the number for your local UPS office. Then they can get a hold of the driver and you can meet somewhere to pick it up. I have gone through this alot. Actually, too much.

I use to work for UPS. Seen Ace Ventura? We were like that soccer scene at the beginning with the packages. We damaged tons of shit. It was kinda like a game. I blamed it on the time schedule. You want overnight delivery...you get your package thrown instead of handed. It's the price you paid. Nerf packaging should be mandatory at UPS. Anyways...Im sure your package will get to you soon... the condition on the other hand...
It was my roommate's birthday last night and we drank several $7 margaritas and ate deep-fried ice cream. Now I feel like poo... so much so that I didn't go to class this morning, nor will I make it to the gym today.
You know, I really like R.E.M.
What did you do on your last birthday?

Out of Time was the last REM album I liked, everything after that sucks (In my humble opinion, you know).

i've never had deep fried icecream and i always keep hearing about it.
hmm my last birthday was probably a dinner and a movie. i'm boring.

That same psych prof who made the racist comment about Asian folk in Friday's class (see previous journal entry for details) emailed out the lecture notes for next week this morning. We're going to look at (among other things) sexuallity. One of the things she says in her notes is:
MEN THINK ABOUT AND INITIATE SEX MORE FREQUENTLY
MEN HAVE MORE VARIETY OF SEX PARTNERS...

Oh if you're going to the school I think you are, you should know that there is a long history of "special" instructors at UNB. Early 90's had a math prof who made public statements about the Holocaust being a sham and how woman should not be working!
He retired early, full tenure pay!
As for the "men" comments, to bad about the promotion of stereo types but then I've kinda been down that road... see my current journal entry

So I'm taking this intro psychology class this semester because I need another social science credit at the 1000 level to gadgeate. Anyhoo... yesterday the prof was talking about IQ tests and the way in which one's ethnicity seems to affect the score. For example, black folks tend to score lower than average, while asian folks tend to score higher than average. Us white people...

i took a intro psyhcology course last year . my prof said that IQ tests were not valid because of the ethnic basis, which is true. but to use racial stereotypes to defend IQ tests is totally wrong. that kind of shit would not have gone over well in my class, more than half the students in my school are not white, actually i think the"just right" white folks are a minority here.
jcup:
Your prof sounds ignorant. To except these stereotypes as being truths is rediculous. Even if that statement may be true in a few certain places, it is still wrong because it's not true in most places and is becoming less true as racial stereotypes are fading and being proven wrong more and more.
1. I think that buying Abercrombe with holes and faded rips is just wrong. I think this because of the price. If you get something like this from the thrift store on the other hand, it's smart shopping.
2.As of now I dont have a favorite shirt or hoody. It's a shame, I know. I have plenty of both, but I like them all the same. Not bad, but not in love. I do have a Zoo York shirt from 1995 and a WuTang clan shirt that's even older that I own but are too ugly and torn to wear outside of the house.
3.Im definitely a fold a put away guy. I wish I had a steamer and a air freshner for my clothes to make them perfect when I put them on.

oh NO NO! squeaky cheese is NOT just the cheese curds we have here... they are not REGULAR cheese curds... or so i've been told by a certain wisconsinite. and all the other wisconsinites i've ever spoken to. he tried the ones in the poutines here and apparently they were fake fake fake. and more fake.
i just don't think wisconsinites can be pleased with any other cheese other than their cheese. i'll report back to you when i return from the land of cheese and give you the lowdown.

I got a worse story.
The dream job I had an interview for before Xmas, I had a call telling me I didn't get the job. Then, a few days ago, I recieved a standard rejection letter from them. And then another one yesterday.
That's 3 times they've rejected me. Talk about kicking a man when he's down.

Thanks for the warning... I in fact was expecting a little flack, I'm just wondering how long it will take for them to get on me. Call it a test of how open SG really is

Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and went to see my advisor. I was so scared that she was gonna yell at me for procrastinating, but instead she was really supportive and encouraging. She was like "You're on your way to being a really good writer, you just need to stop this procrastination shit". So anyway, now I have until January 16 to write a...

Portland's job economy is superfucked. If you're interested in moving here you should apply for jobs before you move. craigslist.com, oregonlive.com, and monster.com might help get you on the right foot. It's a great place to live, but the job situation really is that bad.
1) I think we're here for good and bad. I think we're here to learn and experience things. To collect memories and grow as people.
2) I love the holidays, even if things arent looking up otherwise... they still make things good.
3) Martha Stewart is definitely a creepy bitch. I couldnt give her enough credit to be el diablo though.

Update... w00t!
While attempting to do school work, I have identified my major "time theives":
1. Television
2. SG, and the internet in general
3. Non-urgent housework... I'm so on top of my laundry it's ridiculous and I now make the bed every day.
4. BobbyBeef... I'm trying to stay up late to get a paper finished, but I really want to go to bed...

i share your crowd/line-up aversion. i'm actually doing this for my guy and friends of mine who do not share that same aversion. if i had my way, i'd wait for a few weeks, but i'd like to see it with my friends, so Saturday it is. i anticipate insanity.
So I'm not really sick, I'm just incredibly stressed out... like I almost had a nervous breakdown at the grocery store today because I couldn't find the Dr. Pepper...
I have all these papers I need to write in a very short time, plus an exam for which I am wildly unprepared.
Regular service will resume shortly. Don't worry, I still love you.
