Tuesday Randoms

Don't really have much to talk about, just want to write something I suppose, and avoid doing homework all at the same time. haha.... yeah. I'm kind of like that sometimes. I'm responsible in some ways, and entirely reckless in others.

So this whole Blogger Beta thing is working remarkably well for me. I didn't expect it to go this smoothly. I like the layouts on the dashboard, and the security features. As I said before, I'm keeping the format pretty much to the way it was before I switched over. Less things to be confused with. But some of the new stuff are pretty nice for sure.

I have said time and time again that I am going to build a website and find a web host for it. I did find a host, but I'm too damn lazy. Really. Why would I go do a thing like that when I have all the stuff already set up on Blogger, and all my pictures uploaded on Yahoo. I don't know if it's even worth my efforts right now to do anything like that. Maybe when I really have time for it I might. I'm not going to be too obsessed over it.

I finally got my Intel bundle.... Now I'm not even sure if I am going to build it. It seriously put a dent on my credit. I've already spent about $630 on this thing, including the bundle, a motherboard for overclocking, a new hard drive, and a new optical drive. I could spend another $100 on getting a new case for it and just buck up and build it. Or I can just sell all this stuff to a friend for $700. I don't know. I'm seriously considering it since I don't really need an upgrade. The one thing I can do is to sell all this stuff, get the new case, and transplant all my stuff onto it... lol. I dunno. Or maybe I can sell my chip, board, and heat sink I've used for less then a year. Who knows. I am so confused about it right now. I've just been gathering parts. I think my problem right now is, I have spent about $630 bucks that I don't really have a reason to spend.... *gah* so confused....

I went and got the stuff for the potluck today. We're having it on Sunday night, and I put the majority of things in the store already. Got a sign up sheet up. Still need to order and pick up the cakes on Saturday. Can't don't it Sunday because I'm going to be working all day. Here's what I got...

2 cases of water
4 cases of mixed soda
1 case of Pepsi
1 case of Diet Pepsi
2 stack of plates
1 box of forks
1 gigantic bag of tortilla chips
2 bags of ruffles
1 box of Ritz
1 box of Cheeze-It
1 huge bag of pretzels
2 boxes of cookies
2 tubs of salsa
1 tub of guacamole

I think that's enough stuff. Cool thing is the whole deal is going to cost less then $175. Now if I can get people to just bring food it would be awesome.

I actually have a lot of things I need to get done this week. I have like two weeks worth of back homework for my writing class, plus the essay that is due on Sunday night. I have 2 midterms this weekend for the business classes. There is also the accounting midterm. Needless to say I have to have all of those things done by Saturday night for I will be working all day Sunday and working on the potluck that night. I have class tomorrow from 12:30 to 2:40, then open on Thursday, off Friday, close Saturday. That means I need to get everything done before 5 pm Saturday night. *sigh* I really don't feel like it right now. I am going to be gung ho about it tomorrow. So whatever.... I think I will go sit in my bed in a bit and knit. yeah.... that is probably what I will be doing....

So I got my camcorder back. I wanted to do a video diary thing, but I'm not very good at it. When I'm staring at the camera I really don't have anything to say. So it is now sitting on a little tripod on my desk, gathering dust. Well at least I have a lot of tapes if I decide to become talkative.

I started writing again. The whole pen and paper thing. Yeah paper. You remember those. I don't know... sometimes I feel like just writing on paper. It's comforting. Like the things I write on here are the ones I want to share with everybody. I tend to write on paper my private thoughts and I can go back to them on a later time. I sat there at my desk the other night just reading it. A lot of times were, I don't belive I would write something like that. But I did. And I reminded myself of how I felt when I wrote those things. Feelings and experiences. Mostly intimate details. Sometimes it's nice to know I actually have emotions. I know I am so impersonal sometimes I scare people away. People tell me that. I was in the store today and one of my coworkers commented on how I'm such a badass when I'm walking around. As much as that is flattering I don't know what that makes me. That makes me the cool person, but not an object of desire to anyone that I know of. Unless they have a death wish or something. I look like I'm dressed to kill. You can picture me on a Harley. *sigh* If people would just take the time to get to know me....

So my ex came up last weekend for some of his stuff. He did return some of my stuff. I got all my consoles back, that gives me a +1 on PS2. I need to sell that.... lol. I think my friend who currently has my other one might be up for it. She can have it for like.... 50 bucks, with the controllers. I want my new one back, it's slimmer. All she needs it for is Guitar Hero anyway. I know the xbox is dead, I can probably just throw that out... or sell it maybe... lol. I have a whole stack of games on it too.... probably can sell those. I can use the cash. I should sort through that mess. There is so much stuff I found in the storage. I went through our storage unit and packed 1 suitcase, 4 boxes, 6 garbage bags, plus 2 large wooden case speakers and an elecric keyboard for him to take away. In the process I think I threw away like 6 or 7 boxes worth of stuff. We also found a whole bunch of clothing I can donate to Goodwill at the end of the year for tax credit. There is a lot more room now in the storage. Now if we can just go through more of it, throw more crap away, and sort out the garage too it would be awesome. So much cleaning done.... *aaahhhh*

Did I already mention my room is probably the best place to hang out around the house right now? I couldn't imagine that about 4 months ago. I just had this desire to make this room a santurary. And now it is. I'm quite happy right now. It is far from being entirely organized, but I've come a long way from where I was. As I said before, if the state of my room is the reflection of my mental state, I am in a lot better shape then I was before. There is clarity for once. Hey I found out I have a floor! haha.
