A Leg Grows in C Minor

Dream #1: go to California. Done. Dream #2: get a Honda Civic. Done. I HAVE A NEW CAR!! No more bitching about my car breaking down. This one should hold up pretty well. It's a 1998 black Civic EX Coupe, standard of course, with a sunroof and cruise control (2 things I've never had in a car before). It only has 58,000 miles and one owner with 0 accidents. Pretty cool. The Dick Ide dealership is amazing to work with. I see why they got the president's award last year, and both me and Andrew got free t-shirts! (lol) And apparently my credit isn't just okay, it's pretty damn good. I co-bought Andrew's car with him and was really afraid to get my own because I thought it would hurt my chances or raise my APR. Nope. My APR was lower than it was with his and now I sort of own 3 cars. Happy day for me!!

I went to a wedding this past weekend. It was a co-worker, I'm not super great friends with her but she's really nice and everything. I figured a few things out about weddings this weekend. What I want at my wedding/reception -a ceremony under a half hour long, preferably someplace beautiful and not in a church -about 5 different kinds of never-ending cheesecakes, brownies, and cookies -open bar, top shelf included if money allows -current music or non-cheesy classics (except "Everything I Do"...that song must be included, no matter how cheesy) -some kind of dancing around a circle thing...for some reason I really enjoy dancing in a circle. Damn you Hava Nagila dance! -boquet throwing/garter tossing What I don't want at my wedding/reception -a really short aisle to walk down, if I'm finally gonna have a ton of people watching me, I want it to last for a few minutes -a strapless dress with pearls...is EVERYONE doing that these days?? -play that funky music w...

The title has nothing to do with this post (except that he's a fan of the singer and probably the only one who knows what that line is from). Anyway.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE! And 24 no less! Wooooooo the big 24...yeahhhh. Ha. Sorry I can't see you tonight, but we will have a good time tomorrow, and like always, I LOVE YOU! And I am getting you a present, too.

My little computer that could finally....couldn't...anymore. It died a tragic death from a heat stroke and left me without AIM. Basically that's all I needed it for nowadays, what with Andrew's control center in the den that he's lovingly letting me use. So if you are reading this, bookmark my site, because you won't find it on my buddy list any time soon. I'm planning on getting a car before a computer, and that may take awhile to accomplish. I want a digital piano after the computer, and that will take even longer to accomplish. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to be good and wait. In other, semi-related news, I am bored most of the time at the apt. When I work nights, I have whole days off to while away at home. I watch tv, get sick of watching tv, play some video games, get sick of that, use Andrew's computer for a limited time, get sick of that. Because my extensive list of friends has dwindled to just a few (close in proximity that is, apparen...

First the rave...it is for the power of caffeine! I know I've written about caffeine in here before, especially on overnights such as tonight, but I'm writing about it again, dammit. Anyway I worked last night, this morning, and tonight, so working 24 out of 40 consecutive hours made me feel like I needed a cappuccino to be able to stay up all night. Wellll.....I started to feel sleepy whilst drinking it, but after about a half hour I perked up and was able to finish scoring not 1 but 2 records in 3 hours, do a couple loads of laundry, label cds, and record impedence differences. Not that any of that matters to lay people, but I will explain the scoring at least somewhat, because to truly understand what a feat it is to score 2 records in 3 hours, you have to understand scoring. At my lab we record brain waves while a person is sleeping. These look like little squiggles on a computer screen, but are actually different hertz waves. Most common in sleep are alpha and theta, and d...

I've never realized what a good (albeit dated) movie Reality Bites is. I'm really enjoying watching it since the people in it are more depressed than I am. *Sigh* I've been kinda depressed for the past couple days, I'm not really sure why. I just know that all I want to do is watch movies or read books or draw or play piano, and that's what I like to do when I'm sad about something. I think I got it in my head yesterday that Andrew was going back to California and leaving me here by myself, and for some reason I can't get that out of my head. He's having a few problems with scheduling classes at RIT right now so really that was just a last resort, but just thinking about it makes me cry. I kind of talked to him about it last night and he said "that probably won't happen" but probably still means that it could. Anyway I'm guessing that's my problem, it wouldn't even happen for a long time if it does AT ALL so I don't kno...

So I believe that everything happens for a reason. I also believe in some form of karma, or if you do something good you'll get something good in return. I'm officially Catholic, but almost completely non-practicing. I believe in God, I believe in evolution. Now that that is out of the way....I was wondering, am I the type of person with an external locus of control? (psyc people will know what I'm talking about here) I really pride myself on my independence in life, but I depend on things like fate to get me through life. Well I guess I can't really "depend" on fate, but it seems like that is what I do sometimes. Let's say my car completely broke down, totally unfixable (not too far from the truth as of right now). I wouldn't wallow around in pity and say I don't have money for a new car or how am I gonna get to work or blah blah, I'd just say "it'll get better" and I'll do what I can do make it happen. Now this may just make...
