I just spent $100 on my car ($135 before the coupon). Apparently, someone had put the power steering fluid in the transmission. So I had them both flushed and refilled, along with the oil. But my radiator still needs to be fixed and that'll be another $50. Oh yeah, I still have no job, so this is coming out of my dwindling savings. I prolly...

I started writing again. I got an idea, strangely enough, from watching a shot of an Olympian's family after they won the Gold, so it stewwed for a few hours, then I just sat down and started. Not much has come out yet, but I like it so far. I've never written about zombies, cuz they work better in movies, but I think I can...

Woke up early to see Alien versus Predator today. It wasn't great, but I enjoyed it. Bishop is still cool.
I'm considering saying screw school this semester since I haven't even applied yet and moving to Madison. Work for another semester, then try the school thing. This last minute crunch time is kinda annoying. My mom's prolly about to kick me out anyways, and I...

Dragoncon... *squeals excitedly*
granny:
It's by an artist named Trevor Brown. I love his work. It's mostly quite vulgar... but it's fantastic. I'm getting the "chicken pox" painting tattooed on my side
I know what you mean about the whole school thing. I'm starting in January because I have no money to start it any earlier. Sucks... I'm really looking forward to it... meeting new people and such.

Aww, missed my 666th post.
I need to get out of this house. I'm going stir crazy. Nothing's going on in Madison til the end of the month. At least my brother's gone for a few weeks.
I gotta do something. I got all these story ideas whirling around, I gotta get em down before I forget them. Almost done applying for school, let's...

It was a nice try, but anytime a Conservative posts on the CE boards, it's like dumping fresh blood into shark infested waters.
As for me, I think the only recent Republican President who was worse than Bush was Ford. The sole reason I may end up voting for him is his proven willingness to aggressively defend our country.
Kerry has a 30 year record of slamming the military and the defense of this nation, which easily offsets his few months of service, no matter how many metals he won. He fully supprted every cut in defense spending that Clinton wanted to make, and he subscribes to the view that terrorists are criminals rather than soldiers fighting a war. This was the policy under Clinton, and it is partly responsible for the continued attacks of the 90's. I have no wish to return to that view.

No problem. If you want, I can post your question in the group and direct them to leave answers in your journal. It will seriously curtail the unwanted debate.
Today, I got my copy of the SG book along with Iron Council by China Mieville and the last Swamp Thing trade, so I'm pretty happy.
My sis and her husband came over today, gave me my b-day presents. A new watch and a flask, pretty nice. Also, my little brother's leaving for some wilderness camp in a few hours, it's supposed to help him...

I'm recording this electronically so I can't cop out later. I'm now a vegetarian. I feel like I can't rightly say I believe in the things that I do unless I do this. It's easy to talk the talk, but I gotta follow through.
I used to hate vegetarianism because a friend of mine was doing it for the wrong reasons. But over the past...

thanks!!!
good luck on the vegetarianism. just be sure that you do it right!! be sure that you are getting everything that you need. so if you need to take vitamin supplements, it is good to. you really feel so much healthier when you are eating vegetarian. i wish that i had really seen it through myself. i didn't eat red meat for two years then went vegetarian for another four. it just got really expensive honestly. i don't eat meat much even now but i am just lazy and eat whatever is around. good luck!!

I guess my mom's cancelling our internet access sometime next week. I dunno what this is going to do to my availibility, I don't really have any other way to get online. And I recall reading in the FAQ that connecting from a bunch of different places is frowned upon. I should be getting a laptop if I go back to school, but if I...

Well, was just dropping by to welcome you to the Raspy group, and then I read about the soon-to-be lack of internet. That's a shame, but we're looking forward to hearing from you whenever you manage to get access! 
So I go to buy some liquor yesterday, on my 21st, and the guy doesn't card me. Wow, that was fun.
Anyways, I slept most of today cuz I was out late, and then I had stuff do to, so I'm just getting on now. Weekend will be just as iffy, but I still don't have a job or life or anything, so I should...

it was ok except for the drunken rooftop shenanagans those were fun!

I'm not sure liquor stores ever card. I've been carded twice at a liquor store in 2 years of legality. What do people drink out by you?
Hey, I'm 21. Woo. I guess I can buy my own liquor now, but not really since I still have no money. So no real change there
Last few days, I've been all over the place, so I haven't been very present here. Sorries to any conversations I may have cut off.
Still a few more days til things settle down. I'm doing something with...

Happy late birthday. You should have asked people to give you money, so you can go and buy your self some liquor. If you lived closer, I would take you out and get you wasted. Well that or a new tattoo. For some reason for people's 21st b-day, I get them really fucked up, or I pay for them to get a new tattoo. So far this year, I've paid for 3 tattoos that aren't mine. I like to make a lasting mark on people.

no worries... nirthday come but once year and 21 only comes when youre sick of showing your fake ID.

Blah, these last two days have been great, but exhausting. Lakefront on the 3rd with a bunch of people from Milwaukee and Madison, but we had to head inside when it rained. So we missed the firworks, but got into Summerfest free to see The Roots. One of the few modern hip hop acts I like, so it was a good show. Lots of walking...
