This really sucks

[May. 23rd, 2005|11:56 am]

mood

busy

]

Just a warning to everyone, as little of time as I got on the computer before, I'll get on it even less now. With my other two recent jobs, I still had afternoons (at Target) or mornings (at Wescon) to come over to my rents and screw around on the computer. Now at AirTechnics, I'll have weekends and that'll probably be it.

Except for right now, I'm over here on my hour lunch break and thought maybe my mom could make me something to eat real quick except...she wasn't here! So I looked around for something to eat but as you all know, my moms one of those Betty Crocker moms, so she had nothing easy for me to cook, so I'll have to wait til I get off work to eat. Yay!!!

My short career at Wescon	[May. 13th, 2005\|04:17 pm]
came to an end Tuesday morning. I got a job at this other place, Air Technics. I start there on monday. I get to do more warehouse work, which I'm good at, so that'll be cool. DJ got my job at Wescon, so we're working on getting us all above water now. Other than that and maybe going to a party with Jenn and DJ tomorrow, I don't really have much to update with at this time.

Well, you know who you are. ;) Must be your skin that I’m sinking in Must be for real cause now I can feel And I didn’t mind It’s not my kind Not my time to wonder why Everything’s gone white And everything’s grey Now you’re here now you’re away I don’t want this Remember that I’ll never forget where you’re at Don’t let the days go by Glycerine I’m never alone I’m alone all the time Are you at one Or do you lie We live in a wheel Where everyone steals But when we rise it’s like strawberry fields I treated you bad You bruise my face Couldn’t love you more You got a beautiful taste Don’t let the days go by Could have been easier on you I couldn’t change though I wanted to Could have been easier by three Our old friend fear and you and me Glycerine Don’t let the days go by Glycerine I needed you more When we wanted us less I could not kiss just regress It might just be Clear simple and plain That’s just fine That’s just one of my names Don’t let the days go by Could’ve been easier on you Glycerine

Well, didn't get that job

So I didn't get the $10.10 job. But I did get another job. It's at this place called Wescom. It's another assembly line job, but what the hell, they give me 40 hours a week, so I'll finally be able to start paying off my financial debt. Also, once that's all good and done, I'll be able to start saving towards a vehicle, here's hoping it'll be a Charger ;)

Finally got to put in my two weeks at Target, Melissa said she was happy for me, that was pretty cool I thought. Guess this is the only bad thing I can say about my life right now, I won't get to see Rachelle looking all hot anymore. Eh. Oh well.

Since I'll be working second shift, this will actually work out pretty good for my writing. I've also decided to get in shape for the first time since I was ballin'. So monday, wednesday & friday I go jogging for a mile. Tuesday, thursday & saturday I'm doing some lifting. After a month of lifting, I'm going to increase the weights. Sundays, I'm going to alternate every other week between jogging and lifting.

I'm also doing a little bit of yardwork for some people on the sides. I have no idea how I'm going to fit in college here in the fall, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Family Guy's back on this sunday, yay!

yaech? yech? yaeh? yeh???

[Apr. 21st, 2005|03:08 pm]

grateful

]

Lately I've been using the above word(s) a lot. You know when you see or smell something gross and you say yech? Well, we were discussing how to spell that word and depending on how you say it (with the ch or just the h) we decided that you have to throw the a into it.

And I think that might just be the most pointless thing I've ever written on here.

It looks like I might be getting a job soon. They start out at $10.10 an hour, so that ain't too bad.

Got the Jeep deal done today, feeling pretty good about that, now I can look forward towards a new vehicle finally!

TEN random things about me:
1. I have a new scar on my forehead from the wreck Jamie and I got in last december, think Harry Potter only off towards the side
2. When I was a kid, I made this song up about a dirt road
3. I think subconciously, I've always known I wanted to be a writer, I've written stories my whole life for recreation
4. After seeing Silence of the Lambs when I was younger, to this day I look around me when I'm in pitch blackness, looking for a pair of eyes that are glowing green from nightvision.
5. I've always wanted to play the drums, but never got the chance to learn them
6. I found out one time that I can run 15mph if required
7. If there's room in my stomach, I can eat two whole pizza's and not gain a pound
8. Once and only once, has my loyalty to the Lakers been in question
9. I can do a killer Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation, as well as a great Shaggy from Scooby-Doo one
10. I don't have the best of memory when it comes to some details (like I can't remember the names of some of my teachers) so when I was a kid I always wondered if maybe I was a clone of the original Doug

NINE ways to win my heart:
1. You don't have to put on makeup to look beautiful to me
2. If I make a dumb joke, smile and nod and say, "That's great"
3. Obviously, horror movies are a must, horror books optional because I understand not everyone reads
4. Admit the female body looks way nicer than the male body, it's okay, it doesn't make you a lesbian
5. If you see a hot guy, comment on it, I'd rather that happen then you go out there and screw him
6. We shouldn't always have to go out, staying in sometimes should be enough
7. Let me pay for you, it's not me trying to compensate for something, it's me doing what's right
8. Don't back me into a corner (figuratively) and force me into saying "I love you", I'll say it when I'm ready or not at all, but if I say it, know they're not words I throw around and I mean it, unless you've forced me into it
9. let me touch your boobs

EIGHT things I want to do before I die:
1. go to london, paris & amsterdam in one trip
2. be at a Laker game when they win a title
3. be fluent in another language
4. walk around in the holy lands
5. be on a movie set, of a movie they've adapted from one of my novels and/or short stories
6. if i have a successful career, write an autobiography
7. pimp-slap Shaq
8. try to find a real haunted house and stay the night in it

SEVEN things I believe in:
1. Jesus died on the cross for everyones sins
2. Our parents screwed us over when it comes to economy and environment, must've been too busy getting high and fucking the block in the late 60's/early 70's
3. George Bush is not that bad of a president, maybe a little misguided, but what president isn't?
4. Anti-abortion unless raped. Really, is it that hard to give the kid up for adoption if you don't want it?
5. everything happens for a reason
6. if you think everyone is an asshole, maybe you should look in the mirror
7. people that have epilepsy should not be allowed to drive unless they have it under control for good, I should know about this subject, I almost died because of one of them, so did her kid

SIX things that get me mad (or annoyed/paranoid/frustrated):
1. parents who can't discipline their kids. And they wonder why kids are having sex now at 12/13
2. people who don't listen to you but expect you to listen to them when it comes their turn to talk
3. drivers in kansas
4. new bosses that come into a job you've been at for awhile and they think they know more than you do
5. when you order food from a fast food place and they get the order wrong, more than once
6. when you're in someplace new and ask for directions and the locals give you that attitude.

FIVE things I'm afraid of:
1. clowns
2. spiders
3. planes and the way I get over them while in them, is to go to sleep
4. losing my family in a horrible accident *knock on wood*
5. your mom

FOUR of my fave items in my room:
1. Velcro the Velociraptor
2. my clip board
3. bookshelf
4. movie ticket jar

THREE things I do everyday:
1. shower
2. pet and play with my kitties
3. i'm not going to lie, i should put write here, but i don't write everyday...or at all...for the last couple months

TWO things I need to do right now:
1. write
2. finish laundry

ONE person I want to see right now:
1. Asia Argento

Was supposed to give up the title to my jeep today, but it needs to be notorized and since my parents never signed the title over to me, I'm going to have to go over there with my mom and the guy sometime next week. Didn't get a job yet, going to advanced personel on my day off next week and hopefully that'll be that. Tiff's moving out, so I desperately need to get a job. If I don't get one here in the next couple of days, Wal-Mart here I come. Going drinking with Mike tonight. Haven't done that in awhile, should be fun.

Finacial trouble sucks	[Apr. 12th, 2005\|04:31 pm]
But I'm looking to get out of it. Doing whatever I can to get out of it. I applied for 8 jobs in the past 24 hours so hopefully one of those will come through. Other than that everything is going pretty good. DJ, Jamie and I have been fishing a bunch over at Watson park near the apartment. We've been getting "skunked" so far, but I almost caught a bass the other day. Selling the Jeep to a guy that wants to restore it. I'm sad cause it's my only vehicle I've ever really owned, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can get a new one.

Finacial trouble, here I come

horny

]

So I get this call today at work, which is pretty weird to begin with. I answer the phone with a "Hello?" and a man asks to speak with me.

Turns out I owe Cingular $617.14 by mid-april or I get a hit to my credit. Oh yeah, I have to pay half that by the end of March too. I was already really hurting financially, this makes it that much worse.

On the flip side of things, Jeff, the guy from collections couldn't have been a nicer person to me. I mean I'm sure he really doesn't care whether or not I pay, or Cingular gets their money, so he helped me out as much as he could. With Jamie telling me she had help from collections too, it makes everyone who bitches about collections an asshole.

I've been thinking of ways to make money quickly, other than getting another job (which I am working on) and what came to mind was:

selling plasma
selling sperm
selling dvd's
begging people for money

I am not above doing that. So here's my pitch, if you would like to help out with the "Help Get Doug Out of Debt" Fundraiser, let me know. I promise, when I'm a rich famous ass author here when I'm like 25, I will remember you.

Only other thing I really have to say is, the girl at church is really, really hot.

What's Your High School Stereotype?
created with QuizFarm.com

Thought i'd update this thing again. Anyway, not too much has been happening lately. Jamie got her new truck, '04 Dakota. Stick. It's red, she hates red. It has some gay little flames on the side of it she wants to take off.

Things are a little crazy drama-wise at the apartment, lines have been drawn in the sand and sides have all but been chosen. There's various talk about what's going to happen when the lease is up in may.

An option I haven't ruled out yet is leaving town. The only thing really keeping me in town is my family. I have a dead-end job. A crappy vehicle that's sitting in Clearwater, KS not running.

With everything that's happened in the past couple years (James & now Tiff) I don't really feel like I have a friend that I can go to and talk about stuff that's going on inside my head and believe me, there's a lot of stuff I want/need to talk about. I kept trying to call James but he never returned any of my calls. I'd try to stop by and see him but it's like the guy lives in a new place every week so I don't know where he's at now.

Tiff is just distant since the whole DJ/Jen thing has gone down.

So maybe it'd just be best if I got away from it all? I have a place I can go, even if it's only just for the summer. Not only would I be able to get away from all the drama around here and clear my head a bit, but I'd also be able to write a ton, as well as work out. The place I'd stay would be free so I could get like a 30hr a week job and just save my money. The only thing that would really stop me is, I know once I left town more than likely I would never come back. I mean, I would come back for holidays and stuff, but I would never live in Wichita again. As soon as I establish myself as a writer I plan on moving to the east coast and getting a house and if I'm rich enough a cabin in the woods. If I'm not rich enough I might just opt for the cabin.

Anyway, I just realized how insane all of this kind've sounds. Insanity. That's what you get when you haven't really had time/or someone to talk to, to sort stuff out in your head.

I guess it's been awhile

[Jan. 9th, 2005|04:52 pm]

[

mood

stressed

]

Things have been pretty hectic lately around here. I got a lot to update about but I'm not sure if I'll get around to it all.

First things first. Jamie and I got into a huge car wreck. A really bad one. We pulled out of this street (St. Claire) and as we were getting up to speed (we got up to maybe 20mph) this Camaro starts to come across the yellow line. Later on, Jamie and I both said that we had thought, "Is this a joke?" and we looked over at each other, simultaneously thinking, "What the hell?" and "We're about to wreck."

Turns out the woman in the camaro had an epileptic seizure as she crossed the yellow line. It was a head on collision between her 95 Camaro and Jamie's 03 Dakota. The airbags came out and felt like someone hitting you with a pillow as hard as they could, nothing like what I've heard about airbags.

Jamie looked over at me and was like, "Are you okay?" and I'm like, "Yeah, are you?" she's like, "My ankle hurts. I think I may have broke it." I looked over towards the camaro and saw that the engine was on fire and I'm like, "We need to get out of here." I took off my seatbelt and opened the door, going over to the driver's side and opening Jamie's door. Jamie was like, "I can't walk!" so I picked her up and carried her over to the sidewalk.

We were both okay in the long run so far, though Jamie has said that her ankle is hurting again and her wrist is hurting as well. I have a huge Harry Potter like cut on the top left side of my head that is going to scar for sure. The only thing we can figure is that the rearview mirror flew off at impact and hit me.

And no, the drama doesn't stop there.

Wichita was hit by a really bad ice storm and our apartment has been without power since Tuesday. We've been roughing it so far, locking ourselves in me and Jamie's room and lighting a bunch of candles (50+). The other night it was below freezing in the apartment, but around 60 degrees in the bedroom, so that was nice. I'm roughing it again tonight but Jamie said that her and Tiff might hang out at Jessie's (Jamie's twin) house tonight since Ian (Jessie's husband) is out of town and Jessie is lonely.

Buffy got had his first vet visit the other day. He got de-wormed, got his kitten shots, got checked for leukemia and got ear mites cleaned out. He did really good, laying still the whole time and the only thing the vet said was that he had a cold.

Jamie, Tiff and DJ (Jamie's cousin) are talking about how we should all move out to a duplex once our lease is up. I'm debating for various reasons on whether or not I'm going to do that. Not really leaning either way so far, I need to decide soon probably what I'm going to do but that all really depends on whether or not I get this new job I'm looking at. It's supposed to be at another air conditioner assembly place and I'd be working the stock room, which is kind've like a cross between Target and York. If I get that job or it even remotely looks promising, I'm going to probably end up trashing my Jeep and start saving my pennies towards a new vehicle.

New years resolutions? I'm going to get in better physical shape, probably start lifting weights here soon to get some muscle. Once the power comes back on and I get a decent video card in my computer at home I'm going to start writing really heavily as this is going to be my year.

I'll update again soon.

Hiyabatchi!

So I was supposed to move to the Northeast Wichita Target, turns out Janine, store manager of the east Target and full-time bitch, decided that she may not let us switch stores after all. I am in a serious hole right now when it comes to finances, so I'll have to spend my day off (tomorrow) looking for a new job.

Anyway, not going to spend the entire time here bitching about my job.

Jessie's wedding was pretty fun. I had about 12-15 beers but I didn't feel drunk at all. I'm a hardcore alcoholic is what that means. Anyway, Ryan and I decided to make a "Jamie's Best-Ex-Boyfriends Club". We made up a secret handshake and everything. I did a bunch of dancing with various people. I had to've been the only person there to have danced with the bride and groom at the same time! Lord, Ian was so drunk, the last 3rd of the night he was doing this one dance, which was basically running in place, it was pretty hilarious. Best dance of the night? Had to've been Sara(h)? I surprised everyone by joining the "Thriller" dance. I guess Jamie's mom commented on how much I had changed, how I was a lot more social instead of socially inept.

I've had this constant headache since last night when Tiff decided to yell at me for not recording Lost. I told Jamie the other day my plans regarding my future at the apartment, well, what's most likely to happen at least and she didn't really seemed surprised.

Lakers look pretty damn good at 5-2. Granted, it's only pre-season. Anything could happen, I wouldn't be surprised to see this team go all the way and I wouldn't be surprised to see them miss the playoffs (highly unlikely as that is). Caron Butler looks like the shizzle-dizzle though and IMO, looking better than Odom so far. But Odom is supposed to be coming along slow according to Rudy T, he doesn't want him to get injured as many olympians do the following season.

Weird that I can't think of anything else to say right now.

Crab crab crab. Shot, throw it away, salute!

James and Jamie were over at the apartment with us last night. We had a pretty good time (even though James and Jamie seemed out of it a bit - the fun, that is).

It was pretty humorous, Tiff and Jamie have been doing this thing from SNL where the one of the Spartan Cheerleaders spreads there legs and the other gets on their hands and knees between them and the one standing up is like, "Who's that indian in my teepee?" and the one on their hands and knees is like, "IT'S ME! IT'S ME!" and so Tiff and I were doing that a bunch last night.

Tiff and Jamie are rehersing (bleh) the "Thriller" dance and they're going to do it at Jessie's wedding next weekend. Well, last night I learned the moves that they've learned and Tiff was like, "Wow you're actually a pretty good dancer!" I was just kind've like, "Eh."

Oh my gosh, Lost is a really kick ass show. I know, I know, I vowed off on TV after Angel ended, but I was intrigued by the premise of the show and now I'm hooked.

I guess Tiff showed Jamie this really old e-mail that I wrote Tiff when she was living in Colorado, and in it I was (bitching? whining?) about what was going on inside my head (thoughts about Jamie). Well the other day for no reason (that I knew of at the time) Jamie comes up to me and embraced me and was like, "Oh God Doug I'm so sorry!!!" I'm like, "Uh, for what?" and Tiff told me and Jamie was like, "I had no idea you felt that way!" I patted Jamie on the head and was like, "It's really okay, it happened three years ago!"

I breathe, sleep & eat the Tower

[Sep. 29th, 2004|12:10 pm]

Or at least that's what I've done this past week. But, I'm finally done with it. Well, done in the sense that there's no new books to read. However, I have the feeling The Dark Tower will find it's way into my list of books that I have to read at least once a year. I've felt more strongly about this series than any other book in my life. It's hard for me to pinpoint exactly why I love them, I just do.

Is the Tower complete? Is it perfect? Hell no. SK left many things open, things that probably should have been dealt with. That doesn't take away from my love of what the books are though (unlike a certain Matrix trilogy).

And the ending? Even though I had the ending figured out at the end of the 6th book (or at least I was pretty damn sure how it was going to end) I loved it. And I just know some people are going to bitch about the ending. But fuck them and SK was right, it was the right way to end it. The only way it could've ended. If the book hadn't put me through so much and been a little more well thought-out, it probably would be my favorite Dark Tower book. As it stands, The Wastelands still gets the nod.

Okay, going to go into spoiler mode now, so (for Dev mainly, cause I know he doesn't want to read this stuff) if you want to know what I'm saying, copy and paste the below text, go to rot13.com and push the "Cypher" button.

4.) The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger
5.) The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
6.) The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
7.) The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three

Long days and pleasant nights.

1 day til the end of the Tower

[Sep. 20th, 2004|11:57 am]

That's right, The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower comes out tomorrow! I'm so excited, I can't wait to see how it all ends. I told Tiff last night that she won't see me for awhile, she's like, "How come?" I'm like, "The last Dark Tower book comes out tuesday." She's like, "Oh shit, I won't see you for a whole one day cause you'll finish that shit quickly!"

The other night, Jamie, Tiff, B-Rad and I were all driving around and B-Rad and Tiff were talking in the backseat and Jamie and I were talking. She's like, "What's wrong?" I'm like, "Nothing." She's like, "You always get all pissy before we drink." I'm like calmly, "I'm not getting pissy!" She's like, "You are now!" I'm like, "What? I'm not!" She's like, "I hate the new you!" I'm like, "Why cause I actually talk back to you now?" She's like, "Yes! Go back to being quiet!!!" It was pretty funny.

Her friend Matty has the biggest crush on her. So she invited him over to the apartment and I was like, "Bringing your lover over?" She's like, "Why are you jealous?" I'm like, "Oh yes Jamie - I am so jealous." She's like, "Shut up asshole!" and then when Matty came over I kept looking over at her and was mouthing, "Lover." and she kept flipping me off. That was pretty funny too.

So I quit York. I was so unhappy there and was pissed off a good deal of the time when I wasn't there because I would think about how unhappy I was. I was talking to Tiff and I was like, "Yeah, the money was great. But no amount of money in the world is worth being as unhappy as I was."

So then we were talking about how it's going to be when I'm rich and famous from all the books that I'll be selling. I was like, "Yeah, I'm going to have a 72 room mansion." Tiff's like, "Not a 71, 73 or even 75..." I'm like, "Yeah, a 72 room mansion." Tiff and Jamie are going to live in the mansion with me and we're all going to have golf carts. And then I was saying how Tiff is going to be my personal stylist. She said it was going to be her dream job - paying her to go shopping for clothes, even if they are for me. Jamie's going to be my personal mechanic and she was like, "And if I don't now how to fix the car - you can just give me some money and I'll go out and fuck a hot mechanic that'll get it fixed." I'm like, "That sounds good to me." And then she was like, "Or you could just give me money and fuck me and then I'll find a way to get it fixed."

Let's see, oh yeah, Tiff went to this funeral of this guy who was the boyfriend of one of Tiff's best friends from high school. Police showed up at the their house I guess to arrest the guy for check fraud and the guy told his girlfriend not to open the door. He ran to the bedroom, into the closet and shot himself in the head. Tiff and I figured there had to be more going on there than check fraud, the most you'd get is probably 2 years in county and then they'd let you go for parole.

Tiff and I were talking about what she's say at my funeral (since I'm going to die by the time I'm 25 - "Oh my god, I'm going to die!") and she said it'd be really long. Jamie said she'd want to speak at my funeral too and said she'd say something about the time when I saved her from drowning. She told me the other day that was still the sweetest thing anyone has done for her. Yeah, my girlfriend's drowning, I'm just going to sit there and do nothing about it...

Anyway, I have more to say but I'm hungry, thinking about going over to Sonic - maybe McDonalds.
