#1: I didn't get to spend my second wedding anniversary with my wife due to our jobs and house sitting for my parents. I would have been home Sunday night and our anniversary was Monday, but my parent's cat got into a fight and the wound on it's back abscessed. It requires treatment every 12 hours.

I could have taken the cat home with me except that it has feline herpes and I have two cats who I don't want getting that.

#2 I ordered a tablet from best buy. The sorting facility is less than 2 miles from my parents house. I can't have them hold the package at the sorting facility until 1 attempt for delivery has been made unless the sender contacts UPS and has them hold it at the facility. Best Buy can't seem to do that, so my shiny new toy is sitting just a few miles from me. :(

Since we are bashing Best Buy. I was told to not trust the geek squad.

I trusted them anyways, let them stick a new video car in my newer comp.

Doesn't work.

Well, I figured I must need a new HD monitor. So we buy a 26' HD Tv.

Still doesn't work.
So I call tech help and they say that I need to bring the comp back in because they may have installed a bad card.


Shouldn't they have known that before giving it back to me?

Well, its less than 20miles I guess...a little less. At these gas prices though, it hurts.
I have learned my lesson (finally) about the Geek Squad.

Aptly named.

I was looking for something today on an old forum I used to be a mod on, and I found this:

Snickie's old self wrote:My story is not much different from [name]'s...

I used to have no obsessions whatsoever, except Snick and (in fourth grade) gushing about how horrible my life was.

But now, thanks to my dad and his iPod with 2900 songs, I am now a proud fan of Nickel Creek. It is the ONE public thing I am obsessed over, and even then I am not *as* obsessed as other people.

And the obsessions I can't understand are extremely similar to that of [name]'s, but also includes Hilary Duff, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Jesse McCartney, just that type of celebrity in general.

But yeah. I still qualify because I am pretty much just a fan...I lack the ability to express any emotion (especially obsession) to the point that I am tied to it. Seriously. Someone could tell me their best friend died and I'd be like, oh, that's really sad. Someone could be celebrating a really important happy event and I'd be like, oh that's awesome! or whatever. I know how to fake it, but I just can't make it. I don't know why...

But enough of that. I shall now stop wasting your time.

Oh, and [Person]? You are addicted. You would be MUCH better off without it. Seriously. EVERYTHING in your life is centered around it. You dream about it. Somehow you always manage to direct the conversation to it, no matter the initial topic.

The worst part: IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!! -takes sledgehammer to head and mutilates self-


I really knew how to rant then too. And mutilate myself in emotes. I could've been a Cantriian even then.

BOY, I CAN'T SAY I QUALIFY FOR THAT THREAD NOW. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

I love Nickel Creek's "Smoothie Song", but haven't really listened to their other stuff. I love bluegrass, which is funny because I hate (most) country music.

"Smoothie Song" = <3
I love it. :mrgreen:

Have you heard "The First and Last Waltz", "Stumptown", and "Scotch & Chocolate" by them? Also instrumentals by them, and I love them too.

Sleeping is GONE. I am coffee-sick. My life is stupid. My body can do amazing things when I ask it to, but I make poor decisions. I want real finals. These are FAKE finals and I am not amused. Also, Satan.

Last week encompassed 30% of my Research Methods grade. Aced 10% of it, but my mind was freaking gone on the 20%. Test today for mister shortman that is kind of like a final in that if I am as much of a badass as I felt like, I will not have to take the forreal final, which is cumulative. Tomorrow, last test in history. Day after tomorrow, cumulative final in RM which is the last 15% of the grade because he is a cruel, cruel cow man. Blowoff (hopefully) final on Monday. 12-page term paper on Monday and I do not have RESOURCES. One real final on the 9th and I DO NOT CARE. I just want to give that woman a bad evaluation and get on with my life.

As of today, I have aced one test in each of my classes (Okay, I lied. One of them got curved up). It's okay, though, I made up for it by getting a bad grade on the third RM test. 94, 100, X. 94, 100, 82, X. 100, X. 96, 100, X. 102, 98, 89, X.

Also also, bananas are my favorite phallic food.

No but I generally like instrumentals, not sure why. I guess my biggest "turn off" with music is trite lyrics, but half the time I still manage to love songs with some of the dumbest lyrics imaginable, so who knows?

I'll have to check those out, thanks!

She is described as "A Scotch-drinking, cigar-smoking, gun-toting Canadian pop-star-turned-journalist-turned-morning-show-host". She's like really Canadian.
