I'm Back!
Hey, guys. How did your weekends go? Mine kicked ass. I went to Daytona for Spring Break Nationals. It's is one big sound off and car show. There were so many hot cars there this year.
I don't have my scanner up and running yet, but here is what my score sheet said.

Official Meca SPL Scoresheet
98 Chevy Cavilier, Gold
"Pressure Class" Street S2 (501-750)

Audio System Information
Total Fuse Rating (A): 400
Subwoofers:
Size: 15
Number: 1
Cone Surface Area: 176.1
Pressure Class: 576.71 (That is what kept me in S2 instead of S1)

SPL Run 1: 135.5
SPL Run 2: 138.2

My first run wasn't too bad, except for the fact that my amp too too much out of the battery and my radio shut down. But I still got a 135, even though that is 10 db less than what I was getting at the shop when we first tested it. Then on Sunday I did my second run and jumped up 3 db, so it was all. I still got second. There were seven in my category, but they saw who else was running, Dan from New Port Richey, and over half dropped. He is a really good guy, but his system isn't anything to mess with. I think I was one of the only other people that made friends with the ones in my category. I met Dan when he was watchign my second run, then held his parking space while he took his. He may have gotten first place, but it wasn't a big deal to me. He was really nice instead of a jack ass when he found out we were competeing against one another. For my first year, second place isn't too bad. My trophy is taller than I am! Mostly everyone else left before the awards ceremony except for me, Blas, Jeremy, Preston (who took first in his category of AS2) and Pittman (who came in dead last, but stayed to support us). All in all, Team Playtime came home with six trophys this year. All i have to say is my car will be bigger and better for next year. I'm going to check if they posted the stuff yet for this year, then I'll give the link to the site to show off all of the standings!
Ok, I'm gone. I am sunburnt as hell and tired, lol. Three days of nearly 18 hour days, just going and going , it will kill a person, lol.

How do you like my new song?? I love that song. It's from the first Crow movie.
I found a great site that hosts things for free and you dno't have to worry about it ever really failing. The only downfall, it cuts off some of my songs, so the new song isn't in it's full state. oh well, i'll get over it. the page is www.filelodge.com. It's really nifty, even though it is a butt monkey at times....
Ok, I'm gone!

Hugs,

I hate my cats sometimes. I closed my powerbook before I went to bed like usual. I guess that it is a kittie walking mat and someone left out a plate from dinner last night, because there were dried tomato sauce kittie prints all over it this morning. I am so glad that the entire thing is metal and it wiped off easily. Combined with dirt. I want to hurt some cats, lol.

Why is it that everytime I have the option to sleep in, someone takes it away from me? I woke up this mornign to the kids in the bathroom having a screaming contest. I want to go to sleep, but my brother is coming over after he gets out of church (at least there is one god fearing person in the family, lol). And the next three weekends are totally booked so I can't sleep in. Can't do it this week either, going to have kids all week ::shakes fist angrily::
Next weekend is Daytona Nationals so I can't sleep in. I have to take my car to Daytona, probably win a trophy, and come home. Fun fun fun. Then the next weekend is my dad's birthday, off to Winter Haven I go! To not sleep in. Too bad I don't like getting up early, because apparently I am really good at it.
I'll just update my iPod and turn it up full blast and go to sleep. Hopefully.
Later all!

Why me?
I just got stung by a fucking bee. Not a regular bee. I am cranky today so it is a fucking bee. On the thumb. I went to get something to drink and I was too blind to see a black bee on the white refridgerator handle. A stray cat and a bee messing up my hands all in one week, I think the gods are working against me or something. Destroy my hands so Vonnie can't work, lol. Make Blas support her because he makes such big promises!
News on the job front: there is a Mexican restaurant in town that Blas knows the owners of, so hopefully by next week I'll have a waitressing job. Even though I swore I would never work in another restaurant, I need the money. I am at the point where I would clean bathrooms at schools (ick) just to get paid....

See ya!! ::waves with bee-stung hand::

Finally a happy day for Vonnie! :)
My cousins just left about 30 minutes ago. They were the ones taking care of Diane's last wishes and handling the paperwork, etc. Their kids haven't seen the Atlantic before, so they are headed towards Ft. Pierce to the beach. They ended up spending the night last night, which was nice because I got to really sit down and talk to Connie about the other members of the family that I haven't met, showed pictures that dad gave me, some of grandmother. All in all it was a really nice visit. Connie's daughter actually wrote a little fairy tale on blas's computer and told me to read it later, lol. I love my family sometimes!
Other than that things haven't been going so bad. I am still looking into what to study in school. I was thinking journalism even though there aren't many job opps here for that, and then also studying Japanese on the side, again very few job opps. But I figure if we move to a bigger city I can do my journalism thing. I would like to possibly work for something like New Type. They are always looking for people it seems... Especially translators.
Okeedokie, I'm going to go to sleep for a while. My cousins didn't get here until almost midnight, and then I stayed up until like two this morning with Charla talking and such. vonnie needs a nap, lol.

   Ouchie
Have any of you ever been attacked by a stray cat? I was today. My hand looks like it is one giant band-aid (or adhesive strip, lol) ball. It doesn't really hurt anymore. I have some pretty deep cuts though. Thank gods it is on my left hand instead of my right. Oh well. Just for future reference, if any of you have cats, be on the look out for their stray evil twin. This one looked just like Mercrutio until I got right up on him and grabbed him.... I am such an idiot sometimes. So if I don't post within the next few days, it is because I am in the hospital with some sort of weird disease spread by cats. Like rabies. Or something else equally as horrible!

Morning all!
I was watching MTV, the first time in ages, and there was a Prince video on. Black Sweat. The song wasn't too impressive, but he is such a pretty man. Not handsome, not necessariliy sexy, but pretty. He has better lashes on a bad day than I do on a good one!
I was going through all of my old notebooks widdling out things that need to be thrown away, and I found an old short story I wrote. It was about how we used to steal all sorts of food from the cafateria at my high school. It was actually for a project, but I thought it better not to turn it in because it is pretty much a written confession. And I found a few of the poems that Derek and I wrote together. Like "The Derek, Vonnie, and David Collective Lost Poem Poem". Don't look at me funny. We made a poem about our lost poem. We were the founders of our high school poetry club, and always had something new to share. Mostly the random rambling poems that turned into me and Derek have a little poetry bicker fest durning the meetings. I miss my eek eek....He's in Japan right now and enjoying every minute of it... I'll post our story and weirdie poems on here if anyone is interested....They are interesting to say the least, lol.
Time for me to make my day semi productive. I have one goal set for myself today: mop the floor. My entire house is tile. What have I gotten myself into???

Laters!

   I worry about myself sometimes...
For some reason I just got this wild hair up my ass and decided to clean the bathroom. All pretty and sparklie, smells like lime :) But I had a bit of a thought. Maybe I could get a job at a hotel or something and do house keeping. I would go for one of the agencies around town that cleans houses, but you have to have references for that, and I haven't ever done anything like that before. Jeremy has, so I have learned tons of different cleaning tips from him. One of the best so far, even though it is the one I hate the most, bleach works for everything. Too bad I get it anywhere on my skin, I smell like it for a week, lol. The last I saw, there were a few house keeping jobs in the want ads, so I'll have to get today's paper and look.
Until then, I have found another solution. I am going to sell my possessions on Ebay! Not all of them, of course, but I have a handfull of antiques and collectibles that are just sitting around here collecting dust. They are cluttering my space, so why not sell them for a pretty penny so I can make a buck and the junk can clutter someone else's space. I have like 10 Happy Holiday Barbies that my grandmother thought I needed to get every year until I turned 16, so I am going to sell them first. They are supposed to be an investment, and they are investing my ass above water until I can get another job. There are a couple in the collection worth like 500 or 600 bucks. I know I won't get that out of them, so I am just going to sell them for either 50 or 100 a piece, depending on the doll. Or at least set my reserve for 100 or so for the older dolls that are worth more. And if they don't sell, there is always the antique mall that sells all sorts of useless junk for way expensive prices that the northerners will buy when they come down here. It's hillarious, the northerners come down here, the prices on everything seem to go up three fold. This town thrives on snow bird season (no offense to anyone in the northern states, I am making references to most of the old people that drive like hell and spend all of their money down here fishing and on antiques and the like). I have a few old signed posters of Marilyn Manson too. I might put those up for auction, but I really like them. My first one was from before they got big and stuff. It's black and white hanging on my wall. I really like it!
Ok, now I'm going to clean the kitchen too. It looks like hell!

Laters,
