my good deed for the day: updated the fuck out of some .

Stretching to find that good deed, I guess.

Other news: stepdad marginally better, but not any worse. E coli is a bitch. Probably have to do surgery. (And yesterday was his birthday, too). Fucking lame.
School goes well, another week down. Kids and I respond well to each other - hopefully that...

I'm glad your step-Dad is improving, E Coli not withstanding. Did you get him a nice birthday present?

Excellent to know things are going good at school. I briefly tried teaching here in the UK but it wasn't for me. Too many people have no idea just how difficult a job it is and too few parents give schools and teachers the backing that they deserve. Good luck with the rambling old man!! smile

i think in just kinda a.. hit random keys on the keyboard for no real reason.. way.

i haven't determined my mood for today yet. being that it's 8:20, i probably won't at all. so i'm borderline. it could go either way. but i think i'm basically good.

woke up early, hungover, for work. it took a really, really long time today for me to stop feeling like shit. it's mostly over now, but still.

you're going to be a teacher?

In a sad mood today.

Visited my stepdad in the hospital today. He'll be there for about a week, but otherwise should be fine. I hate it for him.

Last night, I went to see my friend's band play at Murphys. Got *enormously* drunk, and got to practice out some of the toasts I memorized as part of my New Year's Resolution. Had a blast,...

I'm so sorry about your sad day. I seem to have lots of those lately...maybe I need to take up drinking...to balance things out as you say! Working out in general seems to be really difficult for me to get back into....perhaps all the snow here is getting in the way of my motivation. Usually I am just happy lying around with some warm blankies and hot tea. I have decided though that this week I am going to try to get back with a routine and stick to it. I'm sure you will do great with the kids! miao!!
waldo_jeffers:
I'm sorry your feeling down. Its good to hear that the prognosis is good for your step-dad. I hope he's doing ok and up and about soon.

This is going to be an awesome weekend.

Mom called, said "I can't keep the dog this weekend."

"Oh, why not?"

"They just admitted your stepdad to the hospital."

Oddly enough, had I not asked why, she wouldn't have even mentioned the hospital part. Apparently he was throwing up all night, plus majorly swolen testicle, plus who knows what else she's not telling me.

Just...

Well.. I mean. I don't know. I don't know if it's good or bad. Or either, really. It's just the way I am. I'm not going to be ashamed of it or anything. I like to think that I'm assertive and strong in my stances, but without being threatening. I hate confrontations. So when they pop up, I'll use hurricane force or whatever necessary just to end it. Despite the outcome.. cut my losses.. done is done, and don't give a damn.

The basic idea is that I can be nice to you or good or whatever just for the sake of being good legitimately, and knowing that for myself and being at peace with it - not because I give a shit if you think it's good or not. That's a weird thing to say and I'm not sure it came out right, but I know what I mean. Maybe it is balls to the wall. I don't know. But thanks for the comment. smile
waldo_jeffers:
What a downer! I things work out with both your mum and stepdad's problems. Geez! A swollen testicle sounds like one of the worse things imaginable. eeek I hope he gets better soon.

Trying to muster the energy to go work out. Despite going to bed stupid early last night, had trouble waking up and I'm still kind of sleepy. Students start a three day project, so tomorrow should be pretty chill. Maybe I can get US History lesson plans done up through next week. Little fuckers.

This whole working 1.5 jobs has (as predicted) led to me...

Normally I don't accept friendship requests unless some sort of dialogue has taken place first. But I'm making an exception, because I like you. I don't know why that is, but don't you feel special? Sure you do.

So do you have a horrible southern accent?

Oh, and hi!

The bank continues to sporadically piss me off. I'm rather anal about my bookkeeping, but for some reason my numbers never *ever* match the bank numbers, and never *ever* in my favor. It makes me mildly angry, but I'm going to switch to the credit union as soon as I get taken on by a school system, so First Tennessee can go fuck themselves. And...

Hence (I said "hence!) the reason why I spend all my money instead of giving it to those silly establishments! What grade are you student teaching? miao!!

Started student teaching monday. 5:45am sucks my ass. When I took the dog out monday, as I stood there in the fuck cold and darkness, I thought to myself: "Welcome to the rest of your life, chump." (On the other hand, home by 2:30 is cool)

Went to Tunica over the weekend, won $50.00. The streak continues.

edit: finally added one of my stories to writers as part of resolution #2.

New Years turned out reasonably well, though my resolution to confront the object of my smittenness totally fell through the floor. Resolution #2 is still outstanding, but I'm finding it hard to find people to read the stories I want to send out.

Turns out that American Beauty had it right:...

Good luck with your story!!

As for your ex wanting to "borrow" your account, that was well cheeky of her! Too right for telling her to get her own!

So what will you be teaching during your student teaching?

Thanks for the birthday wishes kiss

Last night played poker with some friends. Came out 71 bucks up, so I bought some nice bubbly for the new year. Good time, but no kiss. Typical. Hope everyone else had a good 2005. Happy New Year.
waldo_jeffers:
Happy New Year!!

I hope you had a good festive break.

Do you have any plans for the New Year? I mean, is there anything you want to achieve in life this year, or are there any changes you want to make?
waldo_jeffers:
Sorry about resolution 1 not working out. Good luck with resolution 2. I don't normally bother with resolutions but mine this year is the rather vague, but potentially very wide-ranging "Must get my shit together this year".

Back from Nashville. Uneventful but fun. Life Aquatic was tepid. You Got Served is the worst film in the history of cinema. Carnivale is fucking mind blowing. That's the long and short of it.

the most stressful part of my christmas is now over. A monster fucking sleetstorm hit the south east, memphis particularly so. City decides to do nothing about it, so tomorrow will be day three of totally iced over streets. Obnoxious. [though, mostly because of other people and road salt getting on my windows). It happened to hit right as I was out doing my christmas...

Some sort of friends were in from out of town. Saw Lemony Snicket's this weekend. I was majorly impressed. Saturday, went to a christmas party where a couple of friends of mine decided to buy all the drinks. Needless to say, it was High Dollar Scotch Tasting Night for me, but now I feel sort of obligated to buy him a christmas present.

Need to...

No problem, I love feeding egomania... and you didn't have a sign telling me not to so, free game. I'm actually re-reading them right now. I'm to hands of chaos, if I could just stop misplacing the damn book it would be a lot easier. confused

Another nondiscript weekend. Visited a friend I hadn't seen in ages and he gave me a free copy of Metroid Prime 2. *Very* nice, but now forces me to buy him a gift. Started playing Sims 2 again. I can't get any of the custom content to install right for some reason.

Starting to feel a bit under the weather. Also, tried to start my...
