Haven't posted in forever...but this was amusing. Swiped from softpaw

Wow, You're a Border Collie!
Border Collie
The Achiever
You've heard about this "second-place ribbon" thing, but really don’t ever plan on getting one. Not a chance. Highly competitive, you keep one eye on the Best in Show prize and one on the rest of the pack, making sure you're always at least one paw ahead. You love your family and enjoy the company you keep, but you'd trade all of them in a heartbeat for a corner office and some meaty stock options. When you're not licking your professional coat, naked skydiving and triathlons keep you entertained. You idolize the top dog and will do so until you sniff out a way to take over the company and do a little "restructuring." Learn more »
FAMOUS BORDER COLLIES: Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, Barbara Walters
LIKELY PROFESSIONS: CEO, Banker, Manager, Astronaut

T-minus 3 days and counting....Marf. I think I'm a bit frightened/overwhelmed with the courses and other tasks...
Classes include -Senior Seminar (I have no idea how this prof. is going to run it)
-Intermediate German II (Fuck. I haven't had German in over a year!)
-Scene Painting (While not difficult, insanely time consuming, and I'M SICK OF PAINTING!)
-Theatre History II (Ugh. Same as first semester- waaaaay too much to do, not enough time to do it)
-Costume Design (Hey look, a class I wanted and ain't complaining about)
Applied Theatre Tasks -The normal block point (but umm, 4 weeks of being on call for about 10 hours each week. Yup....great.)
-Workstudy in the costume shop (about 6 hrs or so a week)
-Assistant Scene Designing for Wonder of the World (Umm, I get to play with 3D modeling...and if anyone knows how long I spent on my renderings for Forum, this can't be good...)
-First Hand for Tartuffe (This I actually requested since I need some solid tech work for my portfolio; however, this is going to consume my life once it kicks in)
Squeek?

A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called and that on the few occasions when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang.
The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber’s house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:
1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain and collar.
2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.
3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.
4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.
5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.
Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning. Just thought you'd like to know.

PYRO!!! |
] |
Ok, so today I learned some interesting things.
My father's side of the family is entirely composed of pyros.
It poured shiteloads in the area, so everything was completely fucking soaked, that including the three enourmous piles of wood that my cousin had composed.
But what does it take to keep the people in my family (inself included) entertained with 25 bucks during the daylight hours on the 4th of July? Well, that would be a block of dried ice and empty bottles...
So what was exploded via the dried ice bombs? Well, what I can recall, this is what was...
-Multiple soda 2 liter bottles -Soda cans -Laundry detergent bottles -and throwing the soda 2 liters into the wood piles, trying to blow those up.
That wasn't good enough, so then we start getting creative and I learn I give good suggestions to destroy stuff...
So that in turn called him to then blow up a pair of speakers and then fucking annhilate an old bass system. Rock the fuck on.
...
Well, then nighttime approaches. He hands me boxes of sparklers and tells me to make this weak shit useful. Muhahaha. Pile a bunch of those fuckers together, electrical tape the hell out of them and watch them explode. Homemade firework bombs are aaaaaawesome!
Then I get handed a box of morters and told to get them set up. Whoo!
So after everything is all set up and ready to go, I get settled into my chair to watch the show. My cousin's girlfriend then decides that I need wine and I found out later that oh, she had basically poured me 3/4th of the bottle, and since it was dark out, I didn't realize it was quiiiiite that much.
Aaaaand guess who's gotta go to work tomorrow at 6am? Wee...I'm so going to fucking die tomorrow from pain!

This sucks.
I am getting sleep, but I'm always tired.
I can sleep for 5 hours or like last night, 12, and not notice much of a difference between the amount of sleep gotten. I know enough to know that's really not good.
Unfortunately my insurance is covered under NC, and NY now...yea, so I can't really do much about this until I get back down to school.
This sucks!

In other news, I have an apartment secured for fall now at any rate. I'm going to be at an apartment complex with quite a few other students, which is nice to know.

My sister returned to my father's house in November. She brought her dog with her...a large Mastiff mix that is quite possibly the stupidest dog I have ever had met, and I have met some stupid dogs...
Normally I have no problem with dogs, sure I'll call the dumb ones stupid, but usually it's out of affection.
However, when that bonehead fucking monster of a dog continually attacks MY DOG, it's PRETTY DAMN FUCKING HARD to want that idiot in my presence.
Since November, he's attacked my dog 4 KNOWN times, and likely others when we haven't been around to physically manhandle Charlie off of Dingo.
My sister refuses to remove Charlie from our house, and she also refuses to keep the dogs seperated so that Dingo will be safe, especially when we aren't at home. I don't get what she is thinking! All I know is that right now I have a pile of shaking fur sitting next to my feet.

If I didn't think his head was so dense, I'd hit that thing upside the head with a mallet.

The Everything Test There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all. Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-) | Personality | You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more cynical than idealist, more follower than leader, and more extroverted than introverted.
As for specific personality traits, you are horny (64%), artistic (59%), romantic (57%). | | | Stereotypes | | Old Geezer | 83% | | Punk Rock | 80% | | College Student | 73% | | | | Life Experience | | Sex | 31% | | Substances | 8% | | Travel | 15% | | Politics Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 61% of the time. | | Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Middle Class. You make more than 32% of those who have taken this test, and 92% less than the U.S. average. | If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13. By the way, your hottness rank is 64%, hotter than 65% of other test takers. | TAKE THE TEST brought to you by thatsurveysite
I don't agree with that More Lazy than Workaholic though...Especially like last semester where I was basically manhandled out of my room and to socialize, haha.
The other answers? I'm not really sure WHAT to think of those...

So in the last few days, I finally managed to procure a job...
I'm not entirely sure if I should be happy about it. Erg...They originally hired me for second shift cashing (gas station), but then saw I had experience in a Deli/Cafe...so stuck me on first shift in the Deli...
Guess what? First shift to them means 5am start. Fucking blokes.
My sleep pattern is extremely difficult to change and it's making me damn grumpy!

My control on my temper finally caved today. Once again, no calls from any employers. I called one of the places back to ask as they had mentioned yesterday when I was filling out the application that they really needed help for the summer...only to be told in a bored voice, "Oh..well, if they end up needing you, they'll call..."
So then I try to calm down some by working on my costume stuff...only to have the fucking machine break on me and it's to the point where I don't know how to fix it.
...Great. Ok, fine. Let's play on the computer. Within five minutes of the machine breaking, my mouse has a breakdown and goes fucktard on me and refuses to work...
My temper just went out of control...the mouse got ripped out of the computer and thrown across the room. And when that didn't make a big enough noise, I threw the fucker at the door and watched it break into pieces...and scare the ever loving shit out of my dog as he thought I was throwing it at him.
So right now I'm just a ball of anger/nerves/tears as there is absolutely nothing going right in this godforsaken place.

I've applied at numerous places, all hiring no less...and I'll I've gotten is one lousy call/interview, which didn't even end up working!
It's goddamn rediculous!
I mean, I couldn't even get an interview on an open interview day at a fucking GAS STATION.
So. I ask.

Ok...so as of the last week, the mild vertigo spells I had been dealing with on a less than frequent basis, have decided to increase exponentially. There have been a few where all it took was me turning my head to the side to trigger one.
One hit me the other day while I was driving down a very busy street in this area. Thankfully it was on a straightaway so I didn't cause an accident, but damn...
My health insurance is currently covered for NC, so going to a doc, likely isn't going to happen unless it becomes unavoidable.
So my question is, does anyone know of any good ways to control vertigo spells?

And I even set up the network myself without help! Huzzah!
Anyhow, life just got easier in the fact that Geico FINALLY made it so I can pay my bills with my card rather than a check or whatever...which is REALLY good because my father forgot to tell me that I car insurance bill came in oh...three weeks ago? So I had to pay it ASAP...
I also have an interview with Lowe's on Monday...which would make my father happy since he's trying to restore a lot of the house, so if I could get him discounts...But whatever...
Back to applying for other jobs now that I have my internet back!

So I'm back in NY, much to my distaste.
Now starts the long process of trying to procure a suitable job for the summer, something that ISN'T food related...
Final grades for the semester include:
-Intermediate Acting (3cr): B (Yay! better than I thought possible!)
-Stage Management (1cr): B (Once again, huzzah!)
-Applied Theatre (1cr): A (But there was no surprise in that, as I had all A's for the semester)
-Modern Math (3cr): A (But if I didn't get an A in that class, there was something seriously wrong.)
-Fundimentals of Theatre Design (3cr): A- (Aaaaggghhh!!! I missed an A by .75%....Eeeeeeeric! Couldn't you have just fudged me just one more point?!)
-Forensic Science (4cr): A (Now this was the total surprise of the semester as I've had problems in science all through high school and couldn't pull above an 80 in HS either no matter how much I tried. So this was a pleasant surprise to find that I'm not completely incapable of science.)
Now if I could just stay awake long enough to turn more applications in rather than just being conscious for barely 8 hours a day.

Academic overload results in me forgetting/not eating.
I today (since 6:30am this morning) I've had a bowl of cereal, a couple glasses of water, a couple oreos, and a bite or two of a sandwich from Arby's. I'm not entirely sure how I'm conscious at the moment, especially since this has been going on for about the last two weeks or so.
Honestly, I think I'm a wreck right now, both physically and emotionally. While I really need summer to come so I can recooperate in theory, I really don't want it to come since my family causes a lot of undue stress.
Someone want to brew me the Draught of Living Death so I can sleep through the summer without having any choice in the matter?

Ok...Yea, I'm gonna go ahead and say this...
I'm really not allowed to be alone in the costume shop by myself anymore. Seeing as there are no windows down there, and no one was wandering in and out today, well...
I went in around 1:30, starting off with getting swatches (cleaned up some of the fabric boxes too), and then went into working on my outfit for Banquet.
Yea, so take a stab at the time when I realized that I probably needed to leave...Yea, come on, take a guess...
10:30.
I realized oh, you know, as I'm walking out finally that the only time I left was to pee once. So can we say, bad idea being alone down there like that?
