I am what I am and that's all I can ever be

above lyrics from "Let Me Be" by the Turtles

2 updates in one week? I must be sick. Nope, just totally wicked awesome stuff has been happening here in my world.

NEW STUFF RULES!
That's right peeps. I have new things. Actually, one is not here yet, but when it arrives, there will be a celebration from me that none have ever seen before. There shall be much rejoicing when I welcome my brand new friend, Compy, into my home. He is arriving from a box shipped from the Dell computer plant to my parents house, at which time he becomes mine. Lovely lovely day. He's pretty kickass. Thanks to mom and dad for getting it for me. My parents love me. They rock.

My second new thing arrived when I was at work. It's wooden and replaced an old model from roughly the mid to late '70s, when disco died and wuss music reigned supreme. I have a new pretty deck. I can't wait to put up my bird feeder again so the birds can be all happy chirpy again.

My third new item has yet to be purchased, but it will be soon. His name is Discy, and he's a DVD player. I think he's at walmart now. I have to go meet him and some of his friends sometime this week and select the proper one for my liking.

I'm wondering if I'm going all electromagnetic on my electronics. 2 broke within 2 weeks of each other. Once again, if it isn't broken, it's not mine.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jason (Yoda, Jay, JJ, Jassison) for loaning me his baby for the last 2 weeks. This little thing will be returned to him on thursday, at which time I will relinquish all foster care of it. I will miss this cute thing, but can't wait to see a big screen again and actually not have to worry about a friggin touch pad. But Jason's a good friend and he was willing to part with his laptop to help me out. I owe him and plan to do something nice for him.

There's a lot of stuff that's been going around about me lately and how I'm some sort of 'retard' or 'bad friend' or whatever. Well, sometimes you just have to smile and realize that deep down, you are a good person and there are people out there who know that. And I know that. Far too much time and energy goes into arguing and bickering like a bunch of women. I have neither the time nor the energy to argue with anyone right now. So I say, think what you want to think. I don't care. I have people who genuinely love and respect me and I offer them the same love and respect. If you don't need me in your life, I don't need you in mine. It is all mere distraction and I have too much to focus on to be caught up in these little bicker fights. Forgive, move on with your life. I'm not THAT important that I constantly need to be the focus of all the animosity. Not that I mind it, the attention is quite appreciated. However, I'd much rather have positive attention cast upon me than negative attention. Oh well. I know I'm a good person and I love who I am. If you choose to hate me, that's your deal and I will respect that. But it's your loss really. And stop calling me a 'bitch', like I don't already know that I am one. At one time, I reigned as queen of the bitches, but now I am a common bitch once again. I don't need to be reminded. It's like people coming up to me and saying 'Your name is Andrea'. Yep, I know that. Been told that tons of times. Hear it all the time. Doesn't affect me. Water off a duck's back. Quack quack, motherfuckers. I love each and every one of you, no matter what.

So, now that I have stepped off of my soapbox and finished my little aside, back to the blog entry.

I finished Dark Tower III yesterday and I must say, it's been my favorite of the series thus far. Left me with a few unanswered questions, but still, my favorite so far. if anyone is looking for any early birthday presents for me, I need books 6 and 7 (Song of Susannah and The Dark Tower) or a gift certificate by which to procure the aforementioned books. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into Dark Tower IV : Wizard and Glass at some point in the future. However, Posch loaned me Chuck Palhaniuk's 'Haunted' tonight, so I think I may start on that one before I continue the Dark Tower series. I need a stylistic change for a bit.

Toni and Erich got me presents from their trip. They got me a shot glass from Pennsylvania. It's got a crab on it. It's cute. Their pets also 'got' me a 25 dollar gift certificate to Target, the greatest store in the world. I could live at Target.

Tomorrow is trivia. My team really needs to pick it up. We sucked last week (probably because the lovely Posch wasn't there to assist with the music). Erich isn't gonna be there, so we're at a bit of a disadvantage as far as movie rounds go. Oh well, if we put our heads together, perhaps we can squeeze out enough brain power to muscle through. I'm a smart one, but I'm not a genius and I can't do it all by myself. Thanks to everyone who has helped out in the past.

So another blog entry is done. There was a lot of positivity in this one. I think that's a good thing, means that I'm not dwelling on negative words and aggression. I'm taking what I have and going with that, knowing that I am loved and that I am a good person.

Life's a garden. Dig it.

above lyrics from Nickelback - "Savin' Me"

First and foremost, I hear there's a new ride at Six Flags this season called the Superman Tower of Power or something like that. The premise is that you sit in this multi-seat car, similar to a mini-rush street flyer seating arrangement. You are taken 260 feet straight up in the air (about 23 stories) and dropped at 60 mph. Umm...yeah, you couldn't pay me to go on this ride. If someone offered me a million dollars tax free with a house and my dream car, I'd turn it down. NOTHING will ever get me on this ride. It sounds like a vomit fest waiting to happen. Supposedly you get negative g-force going down. I'll leave this ride to the idiots. No fucking way.

I highly recommend the new Tool album. It is well worth your 14 dollars. I have heard all of it, and it's awesome. Maynard and co's long awaited album was well worth the wait. It is exceptionally done. Good job guys! Now tour and come to StL so I can see ya.

Stuff is good otherwise, except for the whole broken computer, broken DVD player thing. Don't trust me around electronics. Everything I touch breaks! Oh well, if it isn't broken in some way, it doesn't belong to me. I recieved 2 A's in my classes. My cumulative GPA is 3.78, which basically means I fucking rule. I'm a smart one. Go me.

I think that's pretty much it. I hate my boss. He's a lying sack of shit that's trying to play me and the other lady against each other. Makes me sick to think of it. Don't want to comment further.
