being shy sucks...
well, i finally got the nerve to ask annie out...i sat in my room holding the phone for almost 10 minutes just staring at it trying to dial the number. and then when i finally hit the numbers, her phone was dead (didn't pay bill for this month), so i bought some flowers and went over to her apartment to see if she wanted to go have lunch or something, but she wasn't there. her roommate said she spent the night at her aunt's house and would be back some time later tonight. i left the flowers there as a surprise for her when she gets home. hopefully she says something about 'em, otherwise i dunno when i'll get enough courage to ask her again. nikki at work said they had no idea when she'd be back, but i hope it's by tomorrow morning anyway. annie wanted to play poker with us and i'm setting up a game for tomorrow (we both have the day off and chris's place is available), so hopefully we'll getta game going and she'll be able to come. she's never played with us before, but says she's good...we'll see tomorrow. i hope she really is good...i'm tired of playing with idiots...hehe.

well, i was gonna go see war of the worlds yesterday, but tamara never called. she needs someone that's been driving for at least 5 years so she can get more practice before she does her driving test for her license, so i was gonna make her drive me to the movie. anyway, she never called, so i went to chris's house to play poker. it was a pretty bad day for poker i think...i didn't get a single good hand. then a little before i went out (in third place), chris's mom came home and asked about my car. i looked over at it and saw my rear passenger side tire was completely flat. luckily it was at someone's house and not the side of the street, so i didn't have to worry about traffic while i changed it. also, the tire and alignment are still under warranty, so i won't have to pay to have them replaced...guess there was some good thing about the ordeal.

work last night
we had another exciting night at work last night. some lady was at the deli while her sister and daughter were on one of the aisles. the sister was grabbing something off the shelf and when she turned around to put it in the cart, she saw her niece climbing over the seatbelt thing. the kid took a head dive straight at the hard linoleum floor (18 months old). the aunt half caught the kid but her head still hit the floor. the mom came rushing over and held her daughter. then i heard some screaming (this is where i actually started to see what happened. the rest the aunt told me). the mom was screaming that she was unconscious and not breathing and to call 911. i was in the checkstand and my boss just walked by, so i yelled at him to go to the front counter and call the paramedics. the kid's eyes rolled back in her head and she quit breathing for a little while. after a few seconds the kid woke up and started screaming again. anyway, to make a long story short, the paramedics showed up, checked the kid out, and said she was all right. they didn't have to take her to the hospital or anything. hope this doesn't screw the kid up or anything.

well, i had my muffler, resonator assembly, and tailpipe replaced today...only $220 more. i'm up to about $870 on this thing in the last week and a half or so...so far it's still cheaper than getting a new car. it's really hard to drive it now though. i'm used to hearing the engine so i know when to shift better, but now i can't hear it, so i have to go off of how the car's responding (no tacometer so i can't look at rpms). it's tougher than going off of sound, but not that hard. anyway, i noticed on my way home from my poker game (won by the way) that something's catching when i'm shifting. when i move the shifting arm left into the first or second gear position i can feel something catch at the bottom of the car. guess i'm gonna take it back tomorrow and have 'em look at it again. since they broke it, they'd better not try to charge me to fix it.

i was wandering around the mall the other day while my car was in the sears auto center getting its tie rod and wheel bearings replaced and i saw the pet store. it made me wanna set up my aquarium again. only problem is, i don't have the space in my room for the stand, so i got myself a little project to do. i'm going to get rid of my bookshelf to make room. if i do that, though, i won't have anywhere to store my old text books and other miscellaneous junk, so i decided to build a new stand with shelves built in. it's gonna be about 6 feet tall with 5 shelves. the third one from the bottom will hold the fishtank. the bottom will keep my books, and the one above that will have my dvd player on it. the rest of the shelves are gonna be for random junk. i'm sure random junk will make its way into the other things' spots too...it always does. ah well. i drew up a tentative design of what i want it to look like last night and went to home depot this morning to check what types of things they have about the right size. i'll have to adjust some of the specs based on the materials available, but overall, the look won't change. just a few minor dimensions changes.

such a beautiful song...heard it a few times on tv recently..family guy, and van wilder.


"All Out Of Love"

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
does the feeling seem oh, so right?

And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on?
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong

Ooh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
what are you thinking of

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong

hmm, been a while since i've updated
anyway, i got 4 new tires on my car this morning and an alignment...another $300 down the drain. i also needa get a new head gasket and thermostat, but i can do those myself, so it won't cost so much. apparently, my engine's throwing oil. i opened it to see why it'd been running warmer than normal, and there was oil all around the valves and the oil level was really low...yippee...more work for me. when they replaced my tires, they also noticed a wheel bearing and an inner tire rod need replacing (typical shop stuff...come up with more reasons to come back and get stuff done)...ah well...back i go on wednesday for another $300 or so. luckily, the alignment will still be under warranty, so i won't have to pay for that again...that's the main reason i'm going back to the same place rather than shopping around again. gotta love sears, eh.

let's see...what've i been up to lately? getting more hours at work...great for paycheck, crap for free time, but without pay, there isn't much to do during freetime anyway, right? i saw mr and mrs smith last night after work. it was funnier than i'd thought it'd be. i was kinda dissappointed that annie, treena, nikki, and kelsey couldn't go though. nikki hadda 645 am flight to hawaii for some choir thing and kelsey was gonna hang out with her before she hadda leave. treena couldn't find a babysitter i guess, and annie never gave a reason why. she just kept saying, 'i don't know if i want to or not.' i'm beginning to think something's up with her. she talks to me at work and doesn't seem to dislike me, but every time a buncha people from work are gonna hang out, she seems all excited to go until she finds out i'm going. then she comes up with some excuse not to go anymore. when we all went to see star wars, she suddenly got sick and hadda go home after work instead of the movie. last night, when heather asked if she was going, she was excited and wanted to see it, but then i said something about it to her and she started getting all elusive and then she never showed. i hope everything's all right between us. she's one of the cooler people i work with...that and i can't stand people not liking me. it drives me crazy...i wonder why that is...why do we have this need to be accepted and liked?

reinstalling crap
blah...i tried reinstalling eq2...the game itself installed fine, but there's so many post-release updates that the estimated time to download all of them is 2.5 hours. that wouldn't be so bad (i could tell it to download then go to bed) except that it keeps cancelling the download for some reason so i have to tell it to try again. of course it doesn't remember the stuff it's already scanned, so it starts over again...god i hate computers.
