Goddamn it, why do my parents finally decide to stop living a lie and get divorced now? Couldn't they have done this when we were younger? or just do like most people and keep pretending.

Really though, I am kinda miffed at how selfish I am in a way, as the thing that I keep thinking is "man, this really messes up all my plans". Which it does, really.

Okay blog thread, funny work story time.

So I lifeguard at a pool. One of my duties while not watching the pool is to periodically check the bathroom and shower area to see if the soap and toilet paper have run out. So today, I get stuck with checking the bathroom and shower area. While checking the soap dispensers by the showers an old naked man who I have never seen before walks up to be, forces a small empty box for soap into my hands and asks "Guess where I got this soap?" ... "India!" In my head I am thinking "what the fuck just happened" and simply respond with "Oh thats... cool." I then walk away going what the fuck and cracking up to myself. It was one of the funniest and weirdest things I've ever seen a person do.

Oh man that is hilarious.

That reminds me of an incident like five years ago when a man came up to me on the street waving a twenty at me.  He offered it to me, I said "Uh...sure".  Then he said "HOW DOES IT FEEEEEL TO WANT SOMETHING?????"

Dear blog thread,
I'm going to the baseball game tomorrow! I'm excited because this happens rarely for me. Also, there's a party for our frisbee team this weekend so hopefully I'll be getting drunk with cute ladies. So my weekend should be pretty fun, which is good, because I'm currently not in the best mood, as I just shelled out over $500 for new tires because the rims that i got with my car when I bought it are 16" instead of the stock 14" so the tires are way more expensive. Anyways, despite receiving a good deal of money for graduation, i'm pretty much poor again.

Anyways, there was the worst flooding I've ever seen personally today.  I could've canoed down my street
Yeah, WI's pretty ridiculous right now. FEMA might be coming in I hear, and I dunno how that'll go for us. Their track record isn't the best these days. Madison is at least in a relatively safe drainage area so the likelihood of flooding here is pretty slim, but the neverending storming and rain is a bitch.

Dear Blog thread,

My girlfriend calls roundabouts "traffic circles." What's the deal with that?

She calls thongs sandals as well.

Silly Canadians.


Lunchbox, trust me when I say that roundabouts are the safer alternative to what we have in our local neighbourhood, which because of the "grid" layout of the streets, means there is a four-way intersection every fifty metres or so, and they are all controlled by either stop signs or "Give Way" signs, which nobody pays attention to and just drives right through at about 20km/hr over the speed limit. Oh, and all of the corners are more or less impossible to see around unless you're right up at the stop line, and leaning forward over the steering wheel.

Basically what I'm saying is that driving in my neighbourhood is an exercise in paranoia and terror.

Dear blog thread,

A lot has happened in the last two weeks! I have shortened it a lot and omitted like 2 awesome stories but it is still super long because of my writing style. Sorry!

Some illiterate n00b tried to order a Big Mac Happy Meal the other day, to which I was allowed to respond, "Sir, do you honestly think your child is capable of eating an entire Big Mac? The marketing and sales departments in the upper echelons of the McDonald's Corporation tend to think otherwise. Which is, oddly enough, why Big Macs are not offered in Happy Meals, and also why it does not say 'Big Mac' on the Happy Meal menu." He sped away all pissed off, and the remainder of my shift was less tedious.

I was called by the Coast Guard to be an eyewitness in a case where a woman made threatening gestures and actions toward a young enlisted man. I never saw anything other than the fact that the driver of the vehicle she was riding in was in a bit of a hurry to GTFO, but the vehicle description the dude gave matched my vague memories, and the Coasties were really nice to me. I like the Coast Guard :)

I made out with a girl! She hates me now for some reason and I got mono from her (ugh I feel like shit) but it was awesome while makeouts were happening! And a week after Kissy Girl decided to stop talking to me, a much radder, much nicer, and much cuter girl came through drive-thru after a month of me being back, and she recognized me and noticed I was back in town, so she has started coming in every day again. I'm guessing it's just to see me, but it might just be wishful thinking 'cause I like her. Either way, I like rad people who are also cute, especially of the female variety, so I am pretty pleased to have re-met this one!

Watch out Patrick if she keeps coming back in every day she'll end up a fatty and no one wants that. You should probably ask her out soon, to save her the trouble.

Jeez, how backwards does a regional dialect need to be in order to call a traffic circle a roundabout?  That sounds like a backgammon move.

Sandals are sandals, but roundabouts will never be Traffic circles. Traffic circles are when everybody gets in their car forms a circle and hides from the Indians. I read it in a book somewhere.

Yes, but they are not the proper terms.

I think a lot of confusion could be resolved by using the term 'thong sandals'.

So not worth it. You're the only guy I speak to who can sound enthusiastic about mono because it means he got to make out with a girl that doesn't even like him.

fan-fucking-tastic. I'm going camping in WI this weekend; had to reserve the campsite already. Do you have any idea if the crazy conditions you describe apply to Buckhorn State Park, about an hour north of Madison?

I know that as of last night they've closed a couple of the southbound lanes of 90-94 near Mauston, which is just a little bit south of there. Dunno how the park itself is doing.

I've honestly never heard of Buckthorn State Park, but if your general directions are correct, I live about an hour east of that in Fond du lac.  The flooding is definitely better today and will be better over the weekend (I think), but the ground will still be really saturated and probably won't make for a pleasant camping experience.

Dear blog thread,
I graduate tomorrow. Holy shit. I am currently taking a break from cleaning out my studio and I'm kind of amazed how much crap I have. Art school requires so much stuff and all of it is expensive, and I still have a ton of it left. I hope I use it eventually.

P.S. Someone from high school that I can't stand sent me a message over facebook saying "I haven't seen you in forever. What have you been up to?" but with horrible grammar. Is it bad I want to send a message that says, "No shit. I have been avoiding you for the past 4 years."?

fan-fucking-tastic. I'm going camping in WI this weekend; had to reserve the campsite already. Do you have any idea if the crazy conditions you describe apply to Buckhorn State Park, about an hour north of Madison?

Calling the park would be the best idea. If it's managed to not have flooding, it might be dry, but you may not actually be able to get there if the highways are closed.

Dear Blog Thread,

My life is pretty awesome.

Before this season, I'd only ever been to three Red Sox games (Two as a kid and one last season with Shane). I've been to three in the last week! All wins, no less. Before last week, I'd never seen a Red Sox home run in person either. In those three games, I've seen seven (One player actually drilling one to the same spot in all three). It's been pretty awesome.

On the downside, though, my hot water was out for a day and a half, but oh well.

Tomorrow is my theory test and I have finally run to ground a copy of a DVD which lets you practice the hazard perception and stuffs so I'll be doing that this evening. Also I just located the chords for a song I want to learn on guitar, and it is the weekend which means I do not have to go to college tomorrow (although I have to be up super early because there is a carnival which will make it slow getting to my test  :roll:) so basically today is better. I went to talk to Student Services about getting moneys to go and visit universities and they said that technically the budget is gone but they can fiddle it a bit, so hopefully (if I can find a day to go) I'll be off on a 500 mile round trip to see a university way down south (it is Cambridge, say it quietly or people might notice how ambitious I'm being).

  • SKULL BABIES!

The past couple days have involved more death and destruction than I care for. 

Yesterday at work (Verizon customer service), my first call was from a woman whose husband had passed away, and she needed to have his phone line disconnected.  Halfway through our discussion, my computer started going crazy.  I couldn't access any information or make any changes to her account.  I had to transfer her to a different center.  Turns out our servers are in Cedar Rapids Iowa, which is currently experiencing record flooding, and they are basically underwater.  After a few hours, they sent most of us home.  I got paid to be bored out of my mind for a while though. 

That evening, I jogged to the track on campus so I could do a couple of repeats.  When I got there, the track was gone.  It was reduced to a gaping hole in the ground and a huge pile of rubble.  They've been planning to rebuild the athletic stadium, and I guess they've started. 

Later that night, I took my cat out for a walk.  After a couple hours, he started drooling profusely, which can be a symptom of a serious problem.  This morning he was still dripping like a faucet, so I called into work and took him to the vet.  The lobby was depressing as fuck.  There was a couple with a dog waiting to be euthanized, and another dog miscarried in the lobby.  A morning that involves aborted puppy fetuses is not a good one.

On the plus side, my cat is probably going to be fine, and because he struggled too much when they tried to look in his mouth, he has now been doped up with mild opiates and sedatives, which is rather entertaining. 

This trend of things around me dying or being destroyed is a bit worrisome, though.

So not worth it. You're the only guy I speak to who can sound enthusiastic about mono because it means he got to make out with a girl that doesn't even like him.

I never said I was enthusiastic about winding up with mono. I just said that makeouts were nice! It's the stuff that happened after said makeouts that was shitty.

I forgot to mention why we broke up after only 5 days. She didn't want me to hang out with my friends anymore, because we play VTM and Werewolf: The Apocalypse and other shit, and "that's just too nerdy". I thought she was joking, but she wasn't. Hell, at least my friends don't go around town every other day (not even kidding) looking for people to fight.
