Woken up from dead sleep for no good reason that I can think of.
Just bolted awake as surely as someone had shouted in my ear. good thing...was having a rather creepy nightmare....something on par with that sucky movie The Mist.
guess I haven't updated in a while. Just been busy. Hot weather means work goes from surviving on 15-20 hours a week to suddenly...

Birthday weekend went pretty well. Went with Katy to dinner on my birthday itself to a cajun place. They way over peppered the etouffee, but it was still pretty good. And they gave me free beignets for it being my birthday.
Had to work ALL day in pouring thunderstorms on Friday which kinda sucked, but at least it wasn't really cold out. Had a good...

I love you.

hahahahhaha your birthday drunk adventure (or non-adventure) on Venezia made me laugh so much 
ok...so it turns out I actually DID pass that HVAC industry certification that I had thought that I didn't pass a couple weeks back
I actually got a 92% on the basic core knowledge and a 77% on the technical specific stuff. So it works out.
silly though considering I won't be AT this job much longer. But I guess it makes me more marketable...

Lame. If you were going to have down time, I'd try to come up & see you. Next time.

Things are going well here. 
being evil at work and stealing client internet for my own nefarious use. That's what they get for making me work on a roof all morning.
Weekend went pretty well, if very tiring. Marine Corps training took up the whole weekend, but it went well. Didn't take any pictures out in the field which I've been wanting to do. but one of the higher ups...

o hai there. i'm home sick with my yearly throat thing. i like to think of you perched atop their roof like a malevolent, bandwidth-jacking jackdaw. i want to see pictures!
datsun:
what will the final degree be?
It's that time again. heading out for the weekend to do Mariney stuff. At least this weekend won't be 40 degrees and raining. should be beautiful weather....and of course this time we are training largely indoors. not really...but in and out of buildings. running around doing urban training in cinderblock buildings formed into a little town. It's funny. Back in the day the town was...

Thanks. I've actually been cleaning for 2 reasons: my folks come beck from Hawaii tomorrow (I've been living with them since the_cowboy & I got engaged- when we broke up, I just stayed here), and my brother & I are having people over for a BBQ today because the weather has been awesome all week. If you were closer, I'd be harassing you to come by.
Wow. Instructing. I'm impressed (not surprised, though). Hope the weekend goes well.

Pretty certain I didn't pass that test last night. It's an industry certification that asks all kinds of questions that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual work that we do in the field. Normally I am pretty good at tests, but they did not give us much notice on this one. I think most of the guys taking it had taken it before...

Well from what I can gather... St Andrews does... by far. So now I'm going to be racking myself for the next couple days to figure it out.
datsun:
Hope the head clears soon. I seem to be the only one not stuffy right now, and I'm totally tempting the wrath of the stuff from high atop the thing with all the top-down convertible driving.
I hope you're wrong about the test & you pass.

my job is weird.
I have a test tomorrow for an industry certification. They told me this on Thursday. I thought i was going to take it last year and read up on the material, but then they never did the test. So, I have forgotten a lot of it and am having to reread up on it.

Good luck cramming for your test.
Yay for dad staying healthy! Sounds like he's been productive, too.
Nothing as fun as a camera's in my budget right now, but will be soon. I'm so excited about the summer! Things are looking up.

I want to be snuggled up to you when you're eighty.
Long weekend. Left thursday night to go out to Ft. Hood for monthly drill training. we get out there after midnight and it's 40 degrees and raining. and the truck that was supposed to be carrying our shelters (2 man tents) went to the wrong place and they couldn't get a hold of it. So we slept out in it as best we could. Miiiiiiiserable....

Have you seen any good shows with all the SXSW nonsense going on?

So you're the one that tagged my and Rin's set with "damsels..." hahaha, I love it.

I'll have to check it out. I read foreign affairs sometimes.
Got home from a day working in the rain, yesterday, all dreary and foggy....took a nap that lasted until about 4am. was good to sleep.
not too much going on. I have some sort of creature living above my ceiling. At first I thought that maybe my upstairs neighbor had a small pet, but as it has gone on the thing has clearly gotten somewhat...

I know it won't become law. I just don't want to see us be wishy-washy about it. I want to see Obama do what he does best---give an awesome speech about the power of free speech and make it extremely clear that we won't put up with that kind of BS.
dwam:
Thank you.
I do have the feeling all the androgynous SG has gone away, and now, with the members vote system and all, it's hard to see new ones - as mass members prefers ultrafeminine chicks. Sad.

ok. I'm back. lost my way for a bit there. well not so much lost my way as my sailing ship caught fire and suck to the depths leaving me to flounder about the sea in a dinghy.
First my computer caught fire.
yup. the motherboard that had been put in just a few months back shorted across a bridge or something or other and...

Haha, cosmic coincidence, I guess. I had a pretty crazy day today. Nothing bad, just... unprecedented. I'll zap you a PM with the details--it's nothing that I mind sharing, necessarily, but I don't want it to be a matter of public record either (work related, if you know what I mean).

Miss you lots.
Hope you're doing okay in Cali. Thinking about you all the time.

Sending mind snorgles.
