Firefox has upped it's gayity by 300%, and now crashes about every 5 minutes.

I swear, it's like the Liquid! add-on installed during the most recent update. :/

After taking a rather relaxing year off of school, I'm going to go back.

Why is this a complaint? It wasn't really my decision to go back. It's a decision my friend made for me. And I'm too much of a pushover.

Last night's student appreciation party was pretty great, but there were a few downers about it. The main one was that I was in the final poker round for both of the top prizes: a PSP package worth about $320, and a satellite radio package, and lost both of them. Originally none of the students were even in the running for either of the prizes. It was all faculty and staff that got to the final rounds, who promptly said "Well, something about us winning prizes doesn't seem right." The PSP package went to a guy who seemed to only really care about the game inside the package, some ATV Offroad Fury thing. Oh well, power to him.

Also, the Nintendo DS and Brain Age package was going to be a prize for the karaoke rounds, but the people singing didn't really want to do it like that, so they all put their names in a draw for it instead. The winner, a nice guy who hosts a lot of keg parties, seemed excited to win, but afterwards was pouring over the box, bemused. I asked him if he's going to enjoy it, got any friends to play with or anything, and he looked at me and asked "But what IS it?"
I found that pretty funny.

The bigger downer is that the radio was originally going to be the prize for the Guitar Hero tournament, which...they cancelled. Why? Not enough people signed up, apparently. Seven people is more than enough for a tournament, at a party where there were only about twenty consistent attenders to begin with, but the thing is is that most people didn't sign up because they didn't know what it was. Plenty of students and faculty were saying "I'm not going to sign up to play, but I want to see what it is and really want to watch." I have no doubt that people would have been jumping in to try after a few rounds of observation.
That's what I had been looking forward to the most, so that kind of sucked. It was still fun, of course, but not as fun as it could have been.

Not to mention that pictures of monks in habits jamming to Guitar Hero would have been priceless.

Rar.

Got a big project due in the morning, but I've procrastinated away my weekend and only started working on it tonight. It's not so bad, though. I'm just out of ideas. I've already finished the TV spot, but now I have to write a print and a radio ad for the local YMCA, and I'm drawing a blank.

I need to stop procrastinating so much.

Get to the middle school where I volunteer as a tutor in a teacher's class. Today's an important day, because not only is it the first day of a new class, but beyond that, I have some paperwork that was due last Thursday that I also need the teacher I volunteer with to sign.

I go, sign in, get my volunteer's sticker, go to the room - the computer lab. I get to work a fusion of I.T. and teaching the kids how to use PowerPoint and Excel. Well, I go back to the front desk where I signed in. Wait on the secretary - finally, her attention: "Excuse me ma'am - do you know where I could find Mrs. Bruhn? I volunteer, and today I also have some paperwork I need her to sign"

Secretary A - "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't really know... umm... I could check?"
Me - "Sure, that'd be fi-"
At this point in time, secretary B shows. B for bitch.
Secretary B - "What're you here for?"
Me - "I need to find Mrs. Bruhn - some paperwork..."
Secretary B - "Well, I don't know where to find her."
Me - "Well, I mean, you're a secretary - don't you have that somewhere were you could find out?"
Secretary A - "Ummm..."
Secretary B - "Look, it doesn't matter. You can't interrupt academics time."
Here I try to explain that as a tutor, it is my duty to go in during academics time to help the kids. I can't be a tutor and not interrupt academics time - and that the teacher is expecting me
Me - "I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make myself clear, you see, I'm a tu-"
Secretary B - "No exceptions, we don't interrupt academics time"
Me - "I'm with the volunteer prog-"
Secretary B - "You're going to have to wait. I suggest you take a seat, and come back at 3:15"
3:15 is in 40 minutes.
Me - "Like hell. I'll wait in the car."
Secretary A - Just looks at me
Secretary B - "Yeah, com-"
That's where I dropped the fake smile - very convincing; nobody ever thinks it's fake - shifted my pose into something somewhat more menacing and imposing (So I stopped slouching, stood up straight, tilted my head back a tiny bit, and spread my stance to shoulder width) gave her a mean look (which is something I've practiced over the years. Basically, I'm very good at switching between acting nice and acting like I want to tear your throat out and can in the next minute) waved her to shut up, turned around, and walked. Sure enough, the evil eye I gave her worked. She just stopped talking.

*Forty minutes of sitting in the car listening to the one rock station in town - and it sucks - because I wasn't expecting to need a CD.*

Walk in the door again, walk right past the counter and check the CPU lab again. Teacher not there. Go back to the front desk. Secretary B sees me. I make eye contact. Another evil eye. I don't want to talk with her. She seemed to pick up on that, and decided it might be best for her not to talk to me.
Secretary B - "509."
I repeat the evil eye, turn 180, and walk back into the building. It took a lot of control not to flip her off, but there were little kids everywhere.

So yeah. Get in, got the teacher to sign the paper, and all in all, because of this am out of the building twenty minutes later than usual, and wasted a lot of time in a little black Honda in our summer sun... Couldn't open windows either, because it's allergy season and I never do my meds, and also because it's windy season, and I've got chronic dry eye. I can't even stand a room with ceiling a fan in it for more than an hour.
The worst of it was that I didn't get to volunteer today because of the bitch secretary who kept interrupting me with the "We don't interrupt academic time." line. God damn, that ruined my day.

I was out of the house for three hours last night. In those three hours, my parents went through my fucking computer. They found a YIM log they didn't like. In another few hours, my computer is no longer going to be in my room and I'll have heavily restricted access to anything. What the hell, eh?

I don't think they realize just how badly they fucked up, though. They thought I was a handful of angsty teenager before? They don't like me not doing all my schoolwork? (This is what they discovered in the log). Yeah, fuck that. I'm thinking that since it's too late to turn back and I only did any of the work because of them, I may as well not do any of the work.

It's not like I really had any aspirations in life anyways... Too lazy.

Oh yes, ruin your life. THAT WILL SHOW YOUR PARENTS!

DAMN STRAIGHT.

IF I DON'T SHOW THEM.

Neat trick is - and I just explained this very badly - this won't ruin my life.

First of all I'm not doing homework. I'm doing tests and all that, which will keep my grade at a low C. I'm not ruining my life. I'm copping out and not going as far as I can with myself, but I never really wanted to, because, I repeat, I'm too damned lazy. I'm more than satisfied to end as a washed up bastard. It's literally that I was doing this shit to keep them happy, but since they stopped keeping me happy, all the bets are off.

Next - did I type fijucked up in that last post or fucked up - is there a new lover?

Answered: New lover. Neat trick.
