I haven't been on here for about a month or more. The first couple weeks of the new site were exciting, but it's worn off, and now, even though I said I loved it, I don't. There are too many new people on the new forums, and I just don't have the time. I'm working a lot, and I've been playing Uncharted 1 and 2 in my spare time. My 360 has been out of service, so that's sucked. Tomorrow I leave for Ohio for more work training for two weeks. I'm taking the PS3 and my DSi with me to give me something to do in the hotel room. I'm just trying to save up money for the house I want to get next year.

I'm doing fairly well. I've been saving for two months now, and even after a couple of large expenses in addition to my regular ones, I've still managed to get almost $2,000 saved up. At the end of this trip with the overtime I'll get, it should put me around $3,000. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nice house in the $100,000 range. Most of the ones I see around here at that price are 3 or 4 bedroom 2 bath house. Some have some land up to a few acres, others are in subdivisions and offer extras like garages, pools, two levels, and such. I just want something nice for a starter home where my future wife and I can get on our feet and get confortable then have a child until school age. Then we can move up to a home we really want while still living within our means. This bad economy's taught me plenty about how not to live financially.

I'll be on here periodically. Hopefully my fellow Xbox Live-rs will see me online again after I get back from Ohio.

Well a couple weeks ago my roommate and one of my best friends started freaking out because she thought she was pregnant. She took a pregnancy test and it negative. Then she took another one and it was positive. So my other roommate and I convinced her to get an actual doctor to test her. I had to go home last Tuesday because I was sick and I came back today and she told me that she finally got her results back and she is, indeed, pregnant.

She's pretty miserable right now..Not eating or sleeping, and talking about how much she hates her ex (they broke up about three weeks ago, and now she's pregnant with his "*** child", as she so lovingly calls it). I'm trying to figure out ways that I can help her but it's hard because I don't know anything at all about pregnancy, childbirth and babies.

My roommate and I are trying to convince her to tell her mom (she's going to have to find out sometime, might as well be now since she clearly needs her mom's support) as well as educate her as to her many options.

It's pretty hard, and I keep thinking how much I wish it weren't happening but then I feel so selfish for even thinking that way because it isn't like this is happening to me.

/sigh

That sucks.  That's a bad position to be in. I suggest being honest as soon as possible because like you said, see is going to find out anyway.

I just passed my pre-op doctors oppointment and will be have surgery on Friday.  I'm a little scared.

I'm going to need to set an appointment to get my wisdom teeth removed soon.  I've known for a couple of years that my wisdom teeth would impact the row of teeth in front of them, but I haven't done anything about it.  

The last couple of days I've been feeling a small amount of pain in one of the back corners of my mouth, right where I imagine my wisdom teeth are trying to come in.  I'm not looking forward to this...

Bleh, i hate the dentist. In two months i had 7 fillings and a root canal. And guess what? The best one was the root canal.

And Rinoa that does suck. That's gotta be tough on her. I just hope they don't get an abortion.

Rinoa, that happened to my suite-mate my freshman year. We other girls in the suite banded together and and found a councilor on campus to learn how to handle the situation. We convinced her to tell her mother and ex-boyfriend, as he needed to be held accountable. She finished school and is doing perfectly well. I hope your friend will be as lucky. :)

I took an Art History test, and missed one question, by one word. Neoclassicism is referred to as, "Antique Manner," not, "Antique Order." In case anyone ever needed to know.

I just got back from my grandma's funeral. The funeral wasn't so bad, after all I never really knew my grandma, it's just her family. They always argue and complain about everything. Even at their mother's funeral.

So yeah, I just came to the conclusion that they're not going to shut up till everyone one of them is dead. And considering how they drink and smoke religiously, that shouldn't be much longer.

Well my first college quarter has about 4 or 5 weeks left and it's been pretty fun/stressful.  Some of the things we are required to do at Hocking College can stress me out a little but all of my classes are fun and my instructors are great.  My classmates are even greater.  Very friendly which isn't really what I expected.

I work that's all I do is work. My family wants me to come up for the holiday season. Told them I wasn't . But the worst thing in my life is being away form my goddaughter for 4 years. I used to work for her father who was like a brother to me and helped start up his business and he screwed me over big time. She will be 13 yrs old this dec 13th and was there when she was born at the hospital and babysat her all the time. Everyday it eats me up, But her father is a total tool and won't let me see her or talk to her over the phone..Everyday it eats me up but what's keeps me going everyday is knowing someday I will see her again..

I am going to the hospital tomorrow at 11:30 to check in for surgery.  They start the cutting at 1:00pm.  If I don't post over the weekend you can guess there was complications of some sort.

I think a double post is ok in this situation.  I survived the surgery and I am a little bloated with air they used to inflat my abdomen so it is uncomfortable.  They glued the incision shut which I thought kind of strange.  Thank the gods for pain meds.

Get well soon Morbid. :)

thats awsome, glad you are doing well

Hopefully we can get into high school playoffs & if we do ill be busy with practice,

If we fall flat ill be spendin time with MW2 on & Dragon  Age

Hopefully i can get operation flashpoint cause it looks awesome

I'm happy. I have December 4 and 5 set to perform at my school and the school church (I go to a private school, yes). I have these days set to perform, and today and tomorrow I'm going to record the saxaphone, violin, and bass music so my best friend can have material to write his guitar music, and I can start writing guitar music as well (which shouldn't take too long to since that's the easiest instrument for me to play and I've gotten a general idea of what it should sound like).

December 6 is my birthday, so having to play on the 4th and 5th is like a birthday gift I always wanted. To play material I've composed and work up until 4 in the morning at is like a dream come true. I'm very, very happy.

Of course with all my schoolwork, this musical project, I do not have the same amount of time I had to post at GI. That's life, though, and at least my life's been filled with productivity.

When I am done, though, I'm sure I'll share it somewhere in the music group or something, or send it to anyone who cares to listen if anyone does. Enough about music for a bit.

I've been reading a lot on economics - free market economics, rather. I've been reading a lot of the Austrian School of economics, and a lot of Murray Rothbard in particular. It's absolutely amazing, honestly. Rothbard has seemingly read EVERYTHING, he's practically super-human in his way of how he destroys Adam Smith as a horrible plagiarist, tracking free-market economics back to over a millennium ago, etc. It's amazing reads and amazing to see how it all comes together.

On another note, my relationship with my girlfriend is going to hit a year next Monday. I'll get on that when the time comes. xP

This is my life so far. Off to finish writing and recording. :)
