I graduated highschool for a reason, and it wasn't to go to college.

Contemplative Planning
I'm giving thought to calling up the temp agency my cousin works with, and asking what they can do for me. I'm not finding a damn thing so far as work goes in Pembroke, so moving to Ottawa seems to be the next likely option. Of course, likely does not a definite happening make. But, food for thought. And right now, my thought needs some serious foodage. So, temp agency it probably is. Right after I finish prettying up my resume… which I should probably post here eventually. Someone bloody well hire me already!
Okay, for like the third day in a row, now, my brother is making a rather pathetic attempt at "fixing" the family computer in the next room. Which, in effect, translates to me more than likely having to go in there once he goes to work, and unfix the damn thing so it actually works. I keep forgetting just how computer illiterate most if not all my family is… but he has this nasty talent of reminding me. Ah well, it ain't my mess… he wants to break it he can pay to have the thing fixed. This is why my laptop is password protected. Well, that, and because I'm a cruel little man but you know…
It's bloody well freakin hot out there. 29-30 degrees hot out there. Celcius, of course, but still. Blarg. Thank god for central air… AC is the awesome! Ah well. Bright side, 26 days 'til I get to go see a few old highschool friends… yay! That is, if I made it onto the guest list in time. I'll call today and find out… after I'm done enjoying the hotness.
CSI, old blogs, and randomness... what a thing to fall asleep to.
So, I've managed to stay up until now watching CSI, and reading over the blog of a friend online that I haven't actually talked to in, oh… a while, and just generally… doing things that so easily amuse me at damn near half past 1 in the morning, when I should be sleeping rather than updating a blog/journal/thing no one reads. But it's my blog/journal/thing no one reads so screw conformity. Updating it is!
*long pause due to brain malfunction* So, people have apparently discovered that having a TV in your bedroom, or in this case the bedrooms of children, can lead to disrupted sleep. And this is where I kind of snicker to myself and *not* point out the fact I'm watching a news story on that very subject at nearly half past 1 on a TV in my bedroom. *cough cough* You didn't see that. Nope, not at all. There was no mention of TV's in bedrooms here. And now
we're at the part where I slink off to bed. So… slinking.
So this is what they do with closed down schools...
So apparently, a school that was closed down last year in town here is possibly being sold to the city, to be used as a kind of central building for city hall, the police department, fire department, and library. I guess budget cutbacks are starting to become less of an issue, because they're contemplating selling the school in question for $1. Yay for cheaply sold crappy construction. I wanna move to Ottawa…
So the highschool I used to go to is having a reunion at the end of June. About… 5 days before my birthday, to be exact. So I'm trying to scrape together the funds to make the 7-8 hour trip there for the weekend, because some of these people I haven't even spoken to in… oh… about 5 years or so. Yes, I know, I'm not old enough to worry about highschool reunions and such. Well, no. But it happens every 2 years and I missed the last one, so screw it–I'm going to this one. Hopefully. If I'm slightly less than poor when it gets here. I should probably call and make sure I can still squeeze myself onto the list. Ah well, I'll do it later. Finding money now.
This is yet another lazy day, as evidenced by the fact I've managed, yet again, to do something to the layout of the website. And, I've actually gone a step further and added a RSS feed! Welcome to the world of web 2.0. Complicatedly simple XML documents are the inn thing! Of course, if you decide you hate the whole RSS feeds idea, RSSFWD,com can still email new updates to you. If… it works, anyway. Hm. I should of tested it first. Ah well.
So we ended up going to my grandma's today, doing that whole mother's day thing, and the conversation of the hour turns out to be anything from sugar free chocolate to whether or not my brother will still be working in a month or so. I mean, usually I could care less what's being talked about, but… eh. Small town life has its perks, I guess. Where else is other people's business the topic of discussion for the day? Okay, I'm done.
What Is Your Role In A Relationship? (Male and Female, detailed results with Anime Pics!)
You are Submissive
You are one of those people who is prepared to just sit in the background of things, listening but not participating. Often people know your face but not your name, which is a shame because you have a lot of love and devotion to give.
You struggle with relationships sometimes because you don't always know how to be around people. Though you may be academically incredibly intelligent, you have trouble thinking for yourself. You need someone to tell you exactly what they want, as hints and subtleties tend to go straight over your head.
When you find the one for you, you are entirely dedicated to them. You put them on a pedestal and worship them from afar, often not acting on your feelings. If you are lucky enough to have someone come over and tell you that they want to be with you, then you are likely to stay with them forever.
Most compatible with: The Controlling
The Controlling love to boss people around, and would make it painfully clear what they want you to do. They like having someone to click their fingers at, so you are a match made in heaven. They aren't going to give you subtle hints that you will miss, they will just tell you exactly what they want, when they want it, and how. They will never elevate you from you position in the shadows (which suits you just fine!) instead using you to elevate themselves. Some people wouldn't stand for this but as you want nothing more than to see your partner happy, you will be perfectly content with this lot.
Least compatible with: The Hopeless Romantic
Much like you, the Hopeless Romantic wants to worship someone, but whereas you like giving all that attention, you certainly don't like receiving it. You aren't comfortable with being in the spotlight, and the Romantic won't just let you sit in their shadow where you like to be.
So maybe that isn't what it means to other people. But I'm not other people. So… let's see how decent I am at explaining this. Well, you can't go wrong with coffee, so that's kind of a given there. Which becomes part of the sucking up, really. Because, heh… you can't go wrong with sucking up when you know full well you're gonna need it later on. And.. you're damn right I am. =)
But I'm about to give up on our friend Online Support. They don't like to hire me. Guess it comes down to moving to Ottawa. Sucks to be this pukey little town, eh? But, on the bright side, I get my resume on Monday! And it only took me 3 weeks to get it updated. Yay procrastination, of which I am le uber king!
Everyone who bothers to actually read this already knows I'm an avid roleplayer. And, they also know the majority of said roleplay occurs on Eternal Struggle. So I won't bother with mentioning that in future. Not that anyone reads this really, but you know… So, I've gone and created a character specificly for commic relief. He's not very bright–well, actually, he borders on brainless. HE's extremely fat, short, and ugly. Well, maybe not for his race but by most people's standards he is. But he's oodles of fun to play! I'll have a picture of him eventually. Maybe. If people actually want to see it. And if
someone will give me a hand with it. Lynn, I'm looking at you…
Not really, but it had to be done. I didn't have anything else to do this afternoon, so… the site got the overhaull of the century. And when I have time,
I'll actually put things more constructive here. Not really but you know…
I found a couple *really* old and not so well done things I've written in the past, mostly half-finished stories I'd forgotten which direction I wanted them to head in, and it got me to thinking… I haven't actually written anything in forever. Well, aside from here, anyway–but not quite the kind of writing I'm talking about. So, one of these days, I'll get back into doing it… and it might even end up here. Don't count on it, but you know… stranger things have happened. Like me actually having a blog after my Live Journal attempt kind of floppededed.
You know too much is happening when you don't have time to blog.
Well, on the bright side, part of the too much that's happening is I'm back on staff at Eternal Struggle, better known as that place that's stolen all my RP ability. So when I can I've been getting caught up with things there and helping out wherever. Aside from that… eh. Reality sucks. But we know this already. Maybe next time I post something it'll have more content to it. Not making any promises, mind you.
