Theres a lot left to do with this web development contract. They told me theyd like the site up by February 1st, which is fast approaching. Unfortunately, I have zero content and no advanced search criteria from the company. Im sitting here twiddling my thumbs when I could be finishing the project and getting paid. Ive been keeping myself busy with little bullshit work that needs to be done until I can get back to the major work.

They dropped a nice little bomb on me, too. They want to process credit card transactions for application fees online. I outlined the options they had, and told them it wasnt the best idea and that Id charge them extra to do it. It looks like they took my advice. My contact is going to have a meeting with their boss about it; theyll probably end up putting the application online in .PDF format so it can be printed out and faxed in with their CC information.

Ugh, these past few weeks have been rough. I cant seem to find something to be genuinely happy about. Sure, Im doing OK. Im close to finishing my bass, and that makes me happybut not the kind of stupid-happy you get when everything is absolutely fantastic in your life.

Part of it is the fact that the last month of school is bearing down on me like a raging bull with its nuts in a pair of vice grips. We have way too many reports, presentations, and projects due in the next month than I care to get into. The amount of class work theyve tried to cram into our last semester is ridiculous, especially when we have our senior projects to consider. Thank [deity of choice] that our project has been light compared to some of the others in our class.

*sigh* Im lonely too, and that doesnt help matters much.

Oh well...thats what beer and porn are for, right?

So I will
I'll be the one who's coming clean
With every single thing
And all my thoughts in between

I wonder if anyone is just like me
A walking, a talking catastrophe
Another story of dependency
I never thought the face in the mirror would be me

Hey 911 to anyone
Hey 911 to anyone
Hey 911 to anyone
Im in a state of emergency

Like a shot, like a shot without a chaser
Life's in a flash it moves way to fast
The most bitter pill you've ever tasted

I wonder if anyone is just like me
A walking talking catastrophe
Another story of dependency
I never thought the face in the mirror would be me

Im afraid of growing up and growing old
Afraid of the past and present
And what my future might hold

Hey 911 to anyone
Hey 911 to anyone
Hey 911 to anyone
Im in a state of emergency
