I made it back to Btown. It's still really odd not having to go to work or classes. Every so often I stop and spaz thinking I am missing work.
I sorted through some things at my parents to see if there was anything I needed or wanted before the big move.
Now that I got it out here, I have resorted through some of it and got rid of a couple things.
Still need to get rid of a bed and a couple of chairs.
My new apartment called to let me know my application had been approved.... I had called them over a month ago to see if they had gotten all my paperwork and she told me then that I had been approved, that the lady I had been working with had been on vacation all week.
Fast forward and she is just getting around to calling me. Since I had her on the phone i asked about utilities and things, and she was all "You don't have any information on them yet?" Uh no. Moving 690 miles, why would I. So I asked her to give them to me, so now I need to set that up. yippie.

When I was at the parent's I went to my hometown library and picked up some CD's one was Seal's new album System. To be honest I had completely forgotten it had come out. I like Seal, I have since the very beginning, but unlike some bands he falls into the group that I own all or most of their albums and like all of them I just don't keep up with them. Train falls into that group too. Anyway, back to System... it's really good. Not that I wasn't expecting it to be, I think it's just that every time I hear Seal, I remember how fantastic he is and wonder why I don't listen to him more often.

Today I get to take my cherry tree out of hibernation. When I was in DC I bought a grow-a-cherry-tree kit.I hope it grows, but my expectations are pretty low. It has spent a month in the fridge - per the directions and I get to take it out today. If all goes well I figure it will be years that I can keep repotting it in bigger pots and by the time I am settled down and ready to buy a house it will be big enough to go in a yard.
Speaking of repotting - two of my shamrocks got replanted when I was home this weekend.  I asked the parents to try not to kill them.

Did I tell you I got super-fantastic luggage for graduation? I did. It's super-fantastic. I have never had a real suitcase before. I have always carried duffles, but I figured since I have a big girl job now, big girl luggage might be appropriate. When I get motivated I will take a picture for you.

Well I think that is everything for now, the wind has left my sails.

Spammers have started sending unwanted messages not only to your inbox, but to your cellphone. Tell us: Have you received this potentially costly form of spam yet?

Yeah a while back Mom and I were getting cellphone spam via txt message. And since I do not have txt as part of my plan, I pay for each message. So after a couple of them I was getting pissed because I didn't want to pay for them. We called our carrier and they said they were working on the problem. I haven't gotten any since.

What is the most money you'd ever spend on a concert ticket?

Uhh. I guess it would depend on who it was.
I <3 Elton, but I wasn't about to pay 110 for the tickets at his last show (they were the last avail).
The last tickets I bought were 28ish I think.

I try to keep it under $40. Usually because TicketScammer tacks on an extra $2-7 per ticket plus a $10 convenience charge and fees for anything else they can think of.

And there hasn't been anyone I've really been able to see because they haven't been in my 'hood.

What's your "go-to" movie?  The one you watch when you need to just get away from it all?
Submitted by uncagedbird.

Lately, Transformers.

Sometimes RENT or the Illusionist.

A lot of times its concert dvds or the bonus features of movies. I don't have to pretend to try and keep up with a plot.

Ctrl-V (PCs) or Command-V (Macs) Time! Paste whatever text you copied last.

The bunnies are back at a faster pace, and zipping along through outer space!

Killer Bunnies and the Journey to Jupiter is a fast paced combination card game and board game where you must struggle to keep your bunnies alive while trying frantically to destroy your opponent's bunnies. This fun and strategic jaunt through space contains all new bizarre card references and hysterical illustrations, which brings this Killer Bunnies game to entirely new dimensions!

Hi Strangers.

It seems like ever since I finished my classes I have just been too tired to blog.
It's not that I haven't thought of anything to say.

I was going to tell you about this crazy conspiracy dream I had: basically Tortuga and I are the same person and I was some sort of experiment. I had it all figured out in my dream, and the more I laid awake this morning the more everything seemed to make sense. There were a lot more details that I am just too tired to go into.
Maybe when I am feeling less drained, I will tell you about it.

I have my move all set up - short of my "survey" which will be in the next week or two.

I passed all my classes, which is a good thing. I needed to pass them.
So I am just going to mention to my group from hell and to the Devil - GFO.

I am having a party at the Farm tomorrow, if anyone wants to come.

So now I am going to go back to watching TV and rotting my hard earned educated brain.

Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?

The ExBestFriend completely bailed every time I needed her. I'm not sure there is an "I'm sorry" that could cover it.
And she was one who tended to say 'I'm sorry' for everything, whether it was her fault or not. So they sort of lost their meaning.

My dad did some pretty horrible things that I am not sure I will ever completely forgive him for, calling me delusional is pretty high on that list. Not that he would ever apologize anyway.
