I was feeling a little dead this morning when my alarm clock went off, so I stayed in bed a bit longer and dozed off. Suddenly, I woke up because of 2 sensations. The first was something on the back of my hand, and the second was said hand reflexively trying to hit what was touching me.
I opened my eyes in time to see a black (maybe dark brown) spot fly through the air and land on the floor. It was down for about 1 second when it flipped over, and I saw a spider LEAP out of sight.
Needless to say, I didn't stay in bed after that. I can't wait to get my new bed set up so I'm not sleeping on the floor anymore. I'm also glad to hear that the exterminator is scheduled to be by again soon.
Ok, I'm going to tell you my way of cooking some delicious ham. It's actually really simple.
What you'll need;
Slow Cooker/Crock Pot
Picnic Ham
Garlic salt
Add water to the Cooker, and be careful the water won't rise over the edge when you put the ham in. Add 3 tablespoons of Garlic Salt to the water and stir until it's mixed well.
Now, add the Ham and cook fully over the day. Then, continue to cook for 2 days at a low temperature. Check it often to make sure it's not drying out or scorching on the bottom.
When it's done, it will be super tender and flavorful.
It's been a good morning. I had Intro. to Stagecraft first thing, and we've made good progress setting up for the Homecoming play. We were focusing the lights and setting up banners today. I'm really enjoying the class, and I think it's something I could do for a career!
After that, I came home and got Rachael's car running. I thought the battery was dead, and it wouldn't jump start. So, we got it tested, and it was fine. I fiddled around with it and only figured out the problem by luck. I happened to be at just the right angle to see the batter cable spark when she tried to start it. The battery cables aren't the best, and they need to be replaced. Unfortunately, I don't have everything I need to be comfortable trying to do it. I just gave her a temporary fix so she can get it to a mechanic tomorrow. If she really wanted to, she could wait to change the cables and be fine for quite a while, but it is best that she gets it done.
Now, I'm chillin' with some tunes and some good ham! I don't have class again until 12 today. Then, I have the day off! It's going to be a goooood day.
The assignment I have due for class today is to come up with 5 good questions. A "good" question is one that is complex and has no easy answer, and it's a question that I have no opinion on.
I can't even come up with 1.
Today was shit. On the other hand, it was a lucky day. I was on the edge of losing control today. All it really would have taken is somebody arguing with me outright. I know that's a big trigger for me when I'm in a bad mood.
As much as I know that would have been a bad thing, I kind of wanted it. The dam would have burst, and I would have been free of the burden of it all of a little bit at least. It didn't happen. That's probably best for myself and anybody who could have been involved.
On the bright side, it was necessary for me to be a bit of a prick to a couple of my underlings on a couple of occasions, and I was in THE PERFECT mood to do it. What better timing to need to be an asshole than when you already feel unpleasant and unfriendly?
Of course, as smootly as tonight went, I think this is fuel for the argument in favor of me not holding back on that shit so much. I had one crappy worker, one low-average worker, and one that ranges from crappy to good depending on the task you ask him to do. We were a little busy, but we were out on time with everything done. I've never had a better shift.
If you're quite good at doing something you shouldn't, it can ba a terrible temptation to do something bad.
Last night sucked. I went to the bar with some friends. We had some fun drinking and shooting pool, but I felt so out of place. Even though I was with a group, I was so alone. Then, when I came home alone to an empty apartment... Let's just say it wasn't a happy moment.
This morning, I woke up still in a terrible mood. If I could, I'd call in to work today, but I can't. So it's probably not going to be a fun day. I know I'm going to be cranky and impatient today.
One of the best things about having a nice car is that cute girls will accept when you offer them a ride.

Cool...'cause nothin' kills a ride offer like a big white serial killer van.
Right. Next in line to that is something that looks like you pulled it from the junk yard.
On AFF, I was talking with a married guy. He and his wife have a profile together on there. He's bi-curious, but he's never done anything with a guy. His wife spent 5 years talking him into it. So, after we talked for a while. I agreed to meet him today and be his first. I mostly agreed to it because I think it will be hot to be his first "Gay" experience. I'm trying to talk him into getting it on video, but he's only considering it at the moment.
I'm feelin' good, and I'm a little crossfaded. I'm getting ready to go be social and shoot some pool at the bar. Also, I just discovered a cool show I'd never known about called Camelot. It's on Starz I think. It's kind of dark, it's cool.
I often wonder why I'm normally average at pool but occasionally play like a god. Normally, I'm good but not great. However, there are these random times when I can work magic on the table. There was a recent night that I played, and I dropped a solid on the break. After that, I played straight through. My opponent never even got a turn. What makes such a difference in my playing?

Where the hell are you giving out your email that you're getting all this male enhancement spam?
lol, I'm honestly not sure. I use Adam&Eve and AFF, but neither of those are sending these and neither give out your email. Soooo... I'm clueless. At least it all ends up in my junk box.
Here's a riddle for you:
How do you give successfully give someone pain that they don't receive?
I love the feeling of laughter so intense it pushes my head back to express itself fully. :)

Me too...especially as it's a rare occurence for me nowadays.
Aw
Am I the only one who thinks it's an odd coincidence that I got a pic text of a heart shaped cloud from my first grilfriend a day or two after I wrote a poem about her? Before anyone asks, she doesn't know about the poem.
I'm so excited! I'm going down to get my car in a little bit! Hopefully, I'll have a bit of fun while I'm out of this town.
W: It's kinda a grey day.
Me: Yeah, but do you know what's funny about grey days? They're more vibrantly colorful. On bright and sunny days, all the direct sunlight and harsh glare bleaches all the color.
W: *walks toward a window* Huh. I'd never thought about it like that. *stares out the window for a moment* I like that. You have a different view on things.
Eating and watching something funny is dangerous under any circumstances, but it's a whole new level of hazard when you're stoned.
My friend was over tonight and we chilled. It's funny, I love being around her, but it didn't bother me when she left. Not because I didn't want to hang more, but because I felt so satisfied in my soul. Everything just sort of seems perfect. You know what I mean?
I was dinkin' around on another site when I noticed I had a message there. I go to it, and this is all it says:
"you have pretty eyess!!"
While I appreciate the compliment, that's not much for me work with to start a conversation.
When I moved into my apartment, I found a printer the previous tenant had left behind in one of the closets. I didn't get around to hooking it up to see if it would work with my computer until today. I'm very happy to say that it works perfectly! This is particularly awesome since I have to print off enough copies of my poetry assignment for Monday for everybody in the class. There are 27 people, and the poem is just over 1 page long. I'm also thankful that the previous tenant left a nice and big stack of computer paper here too!
I got up a little earlier than I would have otherwise so I could finish some homework before class. It would seem that I didn't really need to get up early, but if I hadn't, you know I would have needed to.

That's how you'd say... whatever that is... while being electrocuted.
Cha. That, or a seizure.
My father added me on facebook, but I'm not really sure I want to accept. On the other hand, I don't want to be rude or anything. I mean, it IS my father, but I'm not really all that worried about keeping him in my life.
