P.S. I played Apples to Apples last night at a dorm party and it was pretty glorious. I also met a girlie that was rather interesting. We will see how that goes. More updates later.

On a much happier note, My birthday is the 18th   =)    I will be 20 years old, I’m finally out of that whole teenager thing. And considering I am not even 20 yet I think I have accomplished an aweful lot. I have done game programming, stock trading, computer repair, electronics design, any other type of programming imaginable, and kept my own life in check. Purchased a brand new car off the lot, am working on a master’s degree, and had several long term relationships. I feel rather proud of all that I’ve done, however, once in my life I would like to finish a project. I promise someday to release bitdestroyer, I think think that was the best idea I’ve had. Anyway, sorry to talk myself up so much, but again, going to be my birthday, so I think making myself feel better is warranted. =D

After suffering through Monday on the couch, Tuesday morning (this morning) finally showed up. I don’t feel like killing myself thank goodness, but I’m not completely better yet. Most of the soreness in my throat has gone away, the fever has subsided, all I’m left with is a pain in the neck and a headache like you wouldn’t believe. I have been hopped up on ibuprofen for the last few days to avoid feeling my brain, but I don’t think that will work much longer, because it seems no matter how much I take at this point it feels like my brain is going to explode. If someone walked up and put pressure at just the right place on my skull I am fairly confident that there would be some splash damage. Hopefully, by tomorrow everything will feel better but right now I thought it would make me a little less inclined to try and create that explosion if I ranted to the internet.

p.s. I took my car apart last Wednesday and installed that iPod connector (which my Zen player is currently connected to) and it works great. I was a little scared to rip up the whole center console and take out the radio on my brand new car, but all in all I’m glad I did, that FM transmitter bologna was killing me. I have $1000 speakers damnit and I want to hear everything loud and clear lol. Well worth the time, money, and effort. Now I just need an iPod (even though they are evil) so I can change songs with the nicely placed buttons on my steering wheel.  =D

Some other events have rolled out in the past few months. I did get those white evil fluff ball kitties (I stole my mom’s) but recently surrendered them back to her. They were originally my sister’s and she wanted them back. Also, I got out of the relationship I was in. It only lasted about 3 or 4 months and was fun, but it just wasn’t for me. I think that girl has moved on, I’m happy for her. I, too, have moved on. I am back with my ex-fiance. We have been on and off for almost four years now. I’m hoping it will work out this time, she’s the only person that has ever really made me happy. I was talking a lot before about jumping on a train and just riding until it stopped, it didn’t matter where I went. I actually would not do that now. I’m happy enough with my life that I would stay right here. She’s a good distance away so I only see her on weekends, but for now it’s worth it.

The other thing that has happened is really big… I BOUGHT A CAR! My truck for some reason was being dumb and refused to start when I would tell it too. I decided that instead of pouring money into it (every car I touch breaks) I would just say “forget it” and buy something new, I mean brand new off the lot new. That way, not only would it be beautiful, but would also have a long warranty so I could stop worrying. It can break all it wants now and I don’t care. Just for the sake of showing off (cause I’m an arrogant prick like that apparently… I’m just proud of the car, I think I paid enough to show off a little, give me a break lol) It’s a brand new Arrest Me Red, Mazda6 (Zoom Zoom is the Mazda saying if you didn’t know, hence the title). It’s a good car, I got a 72 month extended warranty (that’s 6 years for you non-math people). It also has a Bose sound system, heated leather seats, a moon roof, spoiler, insert other favorite option here. It’s fully loaded. I ended up with an automatic because there were no manuals left in red on this half of the country (it’s an ‘08, the ’09s don’t come out till the end of next month). I did test drive a manual Mazda3 and also an automatic. The 3’s are zippier because they are lighter and have the same engine, but don’t look nearly as sporty and have far less room inside (not to mention would have been $5,000 cheaper with all the same options lol, but money wasn’t the point). I like the 6, that’s what I went there to buy. They just happen to have a fully loaded one and I couldn’t resist. Don’t worry, it’s the end of the model year, so I talked them down to a very nice price lol. Well, I’m done bragging about my new baby, but someone had to hear it (my friends are pretty sick of hearing about it).

Expect to see a lot more getting done on the site now that school is finishing up. I’ll be back on co-op full time as of July 28th, so I will have much more freetime to write and work on projects, and I do have a few projects in mind despite my lack of usuable income (having a semi-financed car sucks, I want it paid off, I’m hoping to have it paid in full by December). It also looks like I’ll be on the robot team for the school next semester, so I’ll post all my info on that in a randomness or something. Also, maybe make a hardware section for it. I gotta get back into the groove here, I had so much nice content for a while =)

I, also, am still working on the house, of course. Today, I need to weed whack the entire back yard (it is too tall to mow) and also clean the fridge (it smells funny). Since I am heading home to Cincinnati this weekend I will also need to rotate my tires (which I did early in the week, but then realized that I didn’t follow the rotation I should have and I need to switch a few of them) and clean out the back of my truck to haul some more stuff (I am still without a dresser or a computer desk, both of which are necessities). I have been a busy bee, but eventually that house will be livable. There is a maintenance guy coming tonight to look at some of the problems that are not my responsibility (my brother’s ceiling light doesn’t work,neither does one of the basement light sockets, and the kitchen faucet has horrible water flow). This whole house has been a huge project, but it was fun none the less. Anyway, Point of the story? I GET MY KITTIES THIS WEEKEND! I AM SO EXCITED! I LOVE KITTIES!
