Bye Bye MacBook =*(

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Well, today I took my MacBook into the Genius Bar at my local Apple retail store. It had developed what I can best describe as a bubble between the actual LCD and the plastic screen. While looking dead on, you couldn’t see it, but at any sort of angle you could. It was at the very bottom in the center right behind the dock. The nice guy at the store hadn’t ever seen anything quite like it, and said it appeared to be a manufacturing defect. Needless to say that happily sent it away to the repair center in Tennessee and I should get it back sometime next week. I’m already going through withdrawal. I love my PowerMac, is a beautiful (yes I described it that way) desktop machine, and its attached to a brand new monitor, it just isn’t… ‘portable.’ Like I told my friend earlier, it must just be a sign that it was time to show the desktop some love for a while. I need to sit down with this thing and set it up to mate with my phone. I’ve always just used the notebook as its source to sync with, but the cradle would actually work if I set it up with this thing. Well, its kinda late and I need some rest but I’ll update with the rest of my life’s happenings tomorrow. Must keep the masses informed! *Loves and Hugs*

Social Networking

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I spent last night swapping back and forth between editing Andy’s myspace layout, and writing my myspace content. I really needed to update all of my info, and not just myspace, but hot or not, xy, dlist, and anywhere else I have a profile. Most of them haven’t been updated to say that was even 21, and I’m about to be 22! Never the less, Andy has a new myspace, and I’m all updated; except for pictures. I will certainly take some new pictures and hopefully get some good ones for myspace and such. Maybe now with fresh information I can get some attention from the world, and maybe meet some people! *knows its false hope*

Happy Valentines Day

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Surprisingly enough, even though I’m alone this Valentines Day I still got a surprise when I got home from work tonight. Of course my mom had left a card and a bag of something (haven’t opened it yet) on the kitchen table. Now when I got upstairs on my footstool next to the bed was a cute little Panda bear surrounded by rose petals and Reese’s hearts. Thank you Billy for thinking of me, it was very sweet. Even though we aren’t together anymore, he’s still a great friend to me, and that means a lot. I guess Valentines Day won’t suck as badly after all.

To the disconnected world.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

While most of my closer friends know what I’ve been up to lately, most of you do not; and I don’t feel that it’s fair to not keep you in the loop. Basically in a nutshell I’ve been dreadfully sick since last Thursday. There was a sewage leak at that store we did Thursday, as well as one of the girls working there was sick and coughing and sneezing all over us, so naturally between the two I was bound to get something. I believe it was just a nasty cold. I’ve slowly been feeling better. No more fever, still have no voice and some chest congestion, but over all feeling better. That’s the physical aspect of it, now on to the mental aspect of it.

I still haven’t heard anything from my friend that I am/was supposed to go see Friday, thankfully Billy was kind enough to be the middle man between me and Delta since I have no voice and can’t talk on the phone, and since my tickets were ‘non-refundable’ I obviously can’t get my money back, but! They rolled the value of the tickets over into a voucher that’s good for any flight through January 29th of 2009. So whenever I want to go somewhere I can just use that, and pay the difference (if there is one) so yay for Delta! Since I’m not out the entire cost of the flight I don’t feel nearly as disappointed. I am still a tad bit peeved over the whole situation, but whatever I’m over it. So hopefully I’ll feel a bit less depressed once I’m well again.

Goes my brain in my head. I hate being sick, and I hate this awful headache that won’t go away. *cries*

Wiggly Jiggly

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Wiggly JigglyBilly came over this afternoon to hack my phone with the new firmware. Normally you wouldn’t have to hack it, but since mine is unlocked it took quite a bit of work. I’m thankful that he was able to get it done, it took all day, but in the end I’m happy! And yes in the screen shot the icons are all crooked because I made them jiggle *giggles*. Other than that and a brief dinner, I didn’t accomplish much of anything else today. Tomorrow is another day, maybe something fantastic will happen (not to sound dreary, but I doubt it will).

Long Night

Friday, February 8th, 2008

TrafficIts always great when you end up working late on the last night for the week. Its even better when your sitting in traffic trying to get from the west side of atlanta, I’ll be back home at 6:30ish in the morning. Oh well I wait now.

Second time around

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

This has also been something I’ve noticed lately. When trying to describe how odd and awkward I feel about dating, the only way I’ve been able to say it, was that I feel like I know everyone out there, and I’m just not interested. Well tonight at work it hit me, I found a better way to say it, or at least I’ve noticed how I’m seeing it. When I think about dating, the only thing that comes to mind are my friends; and while I love them all dearly, I certainly don’t want to date any of them. That’s why I feel like I know everyone. All the people of my circle are the only ones I see when I look out into the crowd. Somehow I need to find a way over that hump. Josh suggested today, that I just needed to go out to different places than I’m use to so I can meet some other people. I’m not trying to say that I want to just be out there dating and seeing people right now, because I don’t think I’m at that stage. I really just feel blah over the whole subject. I guess my mind has wandered because I’ve run out of things to say about this, oh well. Maybe it’ll help me get some rest.

Letting it out

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Hopefully spewing forth all of this mumbo jumbo will help me get a little rest tonight. This is going to come in two posts that are only slightly related. As many people have noted I have been in a ‘funk’ lately. Sort of depressed, but sort of just plain out of it. I don’t really feel like talking about this, but at the same time I feel as though I need to talk about it. The first post i.e. this one bears the brunt of the weight on my mind; the second holds the rest. Due to the unfortunate order of blogging the first post will come after the second, but what can you do?

Basically (and I’ll sum this up as easily as I can), I am scheduled to take a trip to visit a friend. I’m supposed to leave next Friday, so basically almost a week away. Everything has been good up until last week, where now I haven’t heard from him in a full week now. He hasn’t been online, hasn’t responded to any form of messages, etc. I’m not exactly sure what is going on but I also haven’t really been given the chance to. I was really looking forward to going, and if I were to say that there wasn’t any romantically involvement here I’d be lying, but I’ll also leave it at that. I’m just very discouraged right now, a little disappointed, and a lot of upset. I have non-refundable delta tickets, so I really want to go. At the same time I don’t want to go and be stuck away from home for a week. In my head I’m making up excuses for everything, trying to play the optimistic role, but in my heart I think the realist has set in, and I’ve just been played. Well I’ve said my peace with that. Like I said originally I wasn’t looking to talk about it, just hoping to get it off my chest. Now I guess off to my next post… (I might edit this later and add some more stuff if I feel like it)
