life

so on the first day i started to feel shitty and scraped the side of my shiny new car in my parking deck.
the next day i woke up with a splitting headache and my cat ate the millionth pair of headphones i've bought this month.
the next day the headache persisted and i bought new headphones that i unwrapped in the car and put in my lap.  when i got on 75 at the hov onramp that i didn't notice where there was a roadblock i didn't notice i dropped them getting out of the car to get my lisence and ticket.
this morning when i got off work i drove down to newnan to meet the folks to go to the sisters soccer game which is when my dad told me they had to put down my great dane...last week...and didn't want to tell me over the phone.

girls 2-1
boys 0-6

yay

the baby cat get sick when he eats the slightest bit of anything that isn't cat food.  well he snuck by me and had three or four licks of ice cream and yacked all over the living room in nice little piles.  yay cats.  he's going around trying to burry them with the carpet.  i can't help but think he's trying to clean up after himself and i'm still sitting here trying to be mad at his cuteass.

so if a guy is a real big drunk asshole...is it ok to fart on him during a lap dance??

going to work.

i can't sleep

</div>

its kind of a strange feeling when you wake up at midnight and start your day.   not a whole lot of people to keep you company but there's always dvd's and beer.  the babysitters was a lovely movie filled with bad acting and too much of an expectable plot line.  wristcutters is probably the only "love story" ive ever enjoyed watching.  kinda neat. 

who the fuck steals some...not all of your underwear out of the dryer in the laundry mat.

so i was tossing and turning all night and kept waking up.  every time i woke up the baby cat was sleeping by my head.  now, he sleeps like he's dead, stiff with all fours out.  so naturally i shook him awake to make sure he was ok.  you think by the fourth or fifth time he wouldn't be laying back down next to me,  but he did anyway.  

animals must think i'm nuts, because of things like this or when i was following a dog around my neighborhood at 5 am the other night with some tazer knuckles in one hand and no shoes.  i had just gotten off work and i just wanted to find his home with him.  that stubby legged dog just kept waddling away from me.

so i bought a car like three weeks ago because my jetta was on its last leg after i owned it for two months (long story...don't buy from champion imports on buford highway....duh)  and on my way home from the tag office today a rock falls off an overpass and cracks my windshield.  nice.

so...waking up at bed time sucks.  Also I love coffee and I love soco, however!!  soco coffee is not nearly the best beverage i've ever had.  its kinda salty, buy yay...back to school.  This semester should be much easier than the last since i won't be working six nights a week on top of it.  hurray for connie not removing her own eye balls with an ice cream scoop.  also i did my best to schedule my classes with male teachers with english sounding names to avoid last semesters issue.  the pregnant hormonal (which i really excused because that wasn't all her fault alone) chemistry teacher who yelled a lot in mostly just foreign vowels.  

so one of the leasing office gals where i stay now falsely told me that the apartment i wanted would not be available at the end of the month like we thought.  i like to look at these things as a sign.  i went out and found a sweet apartment right by work, however the downside is i can't move in till november the eighth...and i'm all packed.  its only two months right? 
p.s. i'm gonna need help because i really don't want to rent a u-haul to move ten minutes away.

    Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.




In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as

· Romance 9.5 and

· Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as

· NBA 5.0,

· NFL 3.0 and
· Golf Clubs 4.1.



Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.



· Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.



What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind,

· Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
· Husband 1.0 is an operating system.



Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.


· If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.



However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.


· Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.




Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program..These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.



In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.

We recommend

· Cooking 3.0 and
· Hot Lingerie 7.7.



Good Luck Babe!

Tech Support

first off, do not under any circumstances use the banfield pet hospital on howell mill road, and this is why.

today was my third visit to this particular vet.  the first was for the terminator's (ish 11 weeks)  first check up and shots.  the second was for the destroyer's (about a year old now) stomach ache and other nasty symptoms i don't feel i need to share here.  now, todays appointment was for both kitties to get there shots.  

first i walk up to the counter a few minutes after two and say i have an appointment for the terminator and the destroyer.  the little boy behind the counter says "no you don't,  you only have the terminator on here"  way to start off on the right foot.  after i tell him to look again and explain that i've already had to have them transfer desi's records twice he finds her too.  we go into a room and within the first hour of my stay we've accomplished weight, temperature, ear and fecal exam.  the terminator has worms and ear mites.  now why was i not told about this during his exam three weeks ago.  what?  oh you didn't check for that?  and you don't have an answer as to why not when its on my bill?  i was also offered a dental cleaning and nail trim...for my fucking cats.  seriously?  a nail trim?  this is just absurd...annoying is when the little vet tech tells me that its all covered in my new plan.  new plan?  what plan?  when i transferred desi's records this vet though it appropriate to charge my account for another year of pet insurance.  the first plan hadn't expired.  ladies and gentlemen i just got fucked. 

i finally get to meet a doctor.  this woman administers the shots with the tech holding down my cats.   now both cats need de-worming because after the first visit with the terminator, after i was told he was clean i stopped keeping them separated.  nice!!   about ten minutes goes by and i'm reviewing the $400.00+ bill before i pay and sign trying to figure out how that happened since i'm on the wellness insurance plan.  ahh...they felt they should do a manicure another ear exam and a thorough eye exam with dilation and shit for the terminator.  it makes so little sense.  i tell the tech i'm not paying for all that mess so she goes to adjust it and desi's starts vomiting violently.  next she's sweating and her eyes are swelling shut...i have to physically go get help and they take her into the back.  after about two minutes i stick my head back there and she's in a bag.  one on her head and one on her body to keep her still.  they tell me she's resisting the cath. in her arm and they've given her benadryl.  why a catheter?  no good answer. 

smoke break.  i go back in after venting at my mom...got i'm glad for her.

my cat is still in a bag and they tell me i need to take her to an emergency clinic for the night since i have work.  i go upfront to pay and my bill is still over a hundred dollars.  why?  they accidentally charged me wrong.  i pay for the stuff that i'm supposed to and take my cats.  i ask for a receipt and they say they can't give me one.  too bad fuckers, you better.  i politely tell the tech behind the counter, "i need some kind of record of what you guys did to my cat back there.  if she gets bad and i have to take her to an e-clinic what am i supposed to tell them.  you guys took her to the back and did shit??  i need to know what is already in her system!"  the little bitch actually says, "ok now don't curse at me"  wtf mate!  you broke my cat!!  i take the papers and leave and the counter guy calls after me "have a wonderful day now"

fuck customer service in this country!  seriously!


p.s. on a positive note everything else in my life is going awesomely.  love my job.  love my car.  love the people i keep around me.  but fuck the vet.

my roommate sucks.
the end.

so last night i had another magic show with howie.  it was really for the atlanta cremation and cemetary funeral association.  say that again.  the person hosting it was named jack frost II, yep jack frost of the funeral association.  I spent most of the evening backstage with peewee the blue fronted amazon parrot waiting to be cut in half while howie walked around doing tricks and stealing rolexes for later in the show.  i just feel like i have a strange life sometimes.   

i need boxes...any one have any lying around.  i'm trying to pack up most of my stuff now because damn do i have a lot of shit...the books and dvd's alone took two days.

 sunday-funday

got home at about 4:00-4:30 last week after i'd been out for a couple days, only to find that the destroyer was locked out from her litter box and  away from the food and that the terminator was locked in my bedroom.  wonderful.  the destroyer had gotten sick....i mean how would you feel if you couldn't eat or drink or shit or piss for two days.  my room mate sucks.  so a vet visit, antibiotics, and some nursing later she's back on her feet now but still a little weak.  i haven't been doing anything but work and taking care of her and ensuring that the doors stay open all week.

the jetta finally started crapping out completely.  my mechanic told me my best bet was to replace the motor.  f that.  so i traded it in for a snazzy nissan 350Z.  it makes me smile...especially while driving!

this room mate experiment has made me realize how much i value my space and my shit.  in august i'll be moving!!  i'm trying to get a flat in the same complex as im in now because stairs suck after dancing for 13 hours and i really want my pinball machine to come to atlanta with me.  help will be appreciated.  i'll let you's guys know when that happens.

the job - is the best i've ever had but it has exasperated my shoe fetish issue quite a bit.  ive been working tuesday through friday with a double on friday and bartending on saturday night, which all the fat-ugly-no personality waitresses and dumbass barback hate me for.  yay crazy fun times.  im still doing magic shoes...i actually have one today and one tuesday.  yay life is too busy for me to comprehend.

school starts august 18.  that's way too soon.  there's still so much i needed to do this summer.  since i don't think that this has become fact yet GSU admin staff sucks and i'm still trying to get them to say "yes connie you have hope"  but i can at least be excited about the fact that i'm sticking to the pre med thing.  its what i really wanna do though it'll take like ten more years...that's fine.  this job will enable me to maintain the grades i need ...so... yay!

my roommate is moving to L.A. at the end of august, so I once again am on the lookout for a replacement.  the apartment is two stories, two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, cute kitchen, spacious living room, and garage space.  there's a great 10ft pool (so the kids stay on the shallow end) and a gym.  its just south of Buckhead within walking distance of R.Thomas...which is why i initially moved here.  there's a marta bus stop at the entrance to the complex that runs up and down Peachtree and by the art center train station.  rent is 500 a month each...but its well worth it.  the leasing office is great and so are the neighbors...i kinda don't have any on one side right now...so yay!!  its a safe area.  since i've been here the worst thing that's happened is there was a streaker and the office left notes in all our mailboxes notifying us of the wrongdoing!  anyway let me know if you are interested or know anyone.  my lease is up at the end of the year but i'd like to renew and if ya dig the joint you can too!

monster bash was crazy fun times.  godzilla vs. mega godzilla and wearwolf vs. vampira.  sangria, pabst, and jamie's rock and roll monster ribs.  good bands, better  friends, hot cars and sick bikes.  way inappropriate drunken behavior and cars a'rockin.  overall if you missed it you missed out, but now i am so tired of waking up and feeling like shit in the mornings....and i don't remember how i got to bed last night...so today, no drinking.
