As I laid to rest TheBeast and let Comcast shut off my services I realized that eventually I would have to get a new computer. Friends tried to help to no avail and sadly I slipped into the netherworld of a tech-savvy person with no internet access.

And no possibility of having it in the near future.

I tried to pull necromancy on BigSaur but, once more, my efforts were thwarted.

Weeks roll by and I continue the go to work, come home, read, go to work, come home, read. I actually started watching TV. Tool Academy? Oh yes. Jersey Shore? Who wasn’t watching that! I could feel myself losing intelligence points simply by not having google at my fingertips.

Then tax season came around. Oh sweet sweet tax season. And then I finally got paid money owed to me by my work. Internet, meet JediNinja .

I got money, a lot of money, all at once. I knew at that moment when I walked away from my bank (I had to confirm that I didn’t mishear the automated message 5 times about my bank acct balance), that it was time to invest. I took a stroll next door to Best Buy.. I browse and browse and then my bestbuy homies show up and find out what I’m doing and take me to this almost hidden aisle and point out that computer to me.

It’s marked at $475 which is already a deal. I decide to take it. I find out I can only get the display model, I don’t care, discount. I get GeekSquad coverage (because I break shit), and more of a discount. I pay around $500.

It has a remote.

Poi poi poi poi poi poi poi .. .

So hopefully I mentioned in a previous post that I got a set of Poi! IF not, well, I did. I actually got them from HOP and I have to admit that this place is amazing and I will refer EVERYONE to them. If you put in the promotional/referal code Amber33 they will give you a discount.

Anyway so I got some poi and i’ve been playing with them nonstop. Im a total addict. I have my spins down, forward, reverse, split time and I actually even know a few moves. What’s funny is the moves I learned on my own are from jumping rope excessively as a kid. Same motion. I was always pretty damn awesome at jump rope. I still enjoy doing it.

So today I was outside practicing new techniques (thanks to the awesome-o-3000 tutorials on HOP) and I hit myself in the back of the head. My poi’s aren’t super hard so I was like whatever and kept spinning. Then I hit myself in the knee and was like OW. I pulled up my jean leg and sure as shit I have bruises all over my knee. I realized at that moment that for every time I hit myself in the head/torso, I hit myself in the knee’s 10 times. So I had to quit and that sucks.

I went to Joe’s going away party last night. It was semi-themed for the Navy.. since that’s where he’s going. I Got some pretty awesome pics too. Maybe I will put them on picasa so you can see them.

Oh yeah and Mike is officially my significant other. I’m in love and it’s wonderful.

lite brite

I want one. A giant lite brite that is. I am considering sketching up some drafts to build a large one.

Today was a long day in so many ways I really don’t want to recount all the crappy things that happened. All I will say though is that it ended on a great note. M sent me flowers at my work. Very sweet. I especially love the fact that I got to show them off. I would say I’ve definitely upgraded since the last boy I was in a serious relationship with.. which was almost two years ago. Ha.

I Also got my poi in the mail today. I played with them for about an hour before the rain got to be too much for me. I am definitely going to be spending most of my day tomorrow outside playing with them. I want to at least master the forward to reverse switch. Upper and low turns so that I can be like BA BLAM and be going in the opposite direction.

Also, jealousy is a very evil trait to posess

Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today but smile.

Listen to me

I think by far today was one of my most easiest days at work. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anything to do.. I actually had quite a bit to do. I accomplished everything and I wasn’t stressed out. Not at any point. That is a relief. I think I’m actually getting good at my job. Maybe everyone’s high expectations weren’t misplaced after all.

I might be able to go to Oregon next month. I must admit I’m very excited about that prospect. However, on that same note, for one reason or another my mother has been sneaking into my thoughts. I’m worried about her and I don’t know why. I feel like something is wrong. Hopefully I am totally mistaken about that.

However, in order to leave this blog on a good note, I wake up every morning with a smile on my face because I am loved. ❤ Hopefully I can see him soon.

I was happier then..

Listen to Me

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, i don’t know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that i was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you’d ‘a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i’d ‘a jumped from my tree
And i’d a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would ‘a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it’s right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called
But my head’s to the wall and i’m lonely.

And if you’d ‘a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, i’d ‘a jumped from my tree
And i’d a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would ‘a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns ’till they melt away.

I’m looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?
And if you’d ‘a took to me like
Well i’d a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would ‘a fared well.
