Damn... I was wondering why it wasn't in my suitcase when I arrived.  Damn security.

Stuck at my university over thanksgiving, when practically everyone else had gone home, resulted in unseen and unheard of download speeds which required immediate action...

Hoorah, I finally ousted my sister from the internet to begin my AGI-fuelled picture posting... now, where to start?

Which one, him or his sister?

I got an interview to a Warehouse job I applied for a few weeks ago... If I get I would make around 10 dollars an hour.

 

Well that's three kinds of good.  When do you get your belt back?

Bloody awesome, but I thought you said he didn't make it?

the driver didn't make it.  i'm guessing severe thoracic/abdominal trauma with a possible broken neck.  that was a teenaged girl.  the passenger was a teenaged guy with a head injury and a open compound rt femur fracture. 

@ dr. thunder:

i'll let him have the belt.  a new one from wal-mart is waiting on me.

Good to hear the great news Ralph!   

EDIT:

My interview went great and I will find out if I will be getting the job tommorow! *crosses fingers*

Thanks Ralph, I made a good impression with the hiring administrator and she even told me that "I like your attitude; it's the kind we like to see from our applicants." Who knows, maybe she says that to everyone but I'm definitely confident.

It's been an interesting couple days.  I got some unpleasant stuff hanging over my head, and work has been hectic, but I think the good outweighs the bad.  Here's the good:

I got leftover money this month.
I just today got a nice guitar amp.
I found a hone to hone my motorcycle cylinders, so I can finally get the engine back together.
I got the fork seals for my motorcycle in the mail today.  And damn were they hard to find.
I had a awesome dream about Weird Al Yankovic.
I still got leftover money this month.
The Hellacopters announced they're playing here in March, which is like ten Christmases for me.

Basically, the areas of life that are most important, Rock & Roll and motorcycles, just improved dramatically.  Now if only I had some good weather to paint my motorcycle.

Zeej: Awesome.

Eggs: You're the most Rock n Roll person I don't really know.

Last night was good. Aside from the fact that I caught up with friends I haven't seen in a while, saw amateur standup (most of it terrible) and drank some great beer, it was really great weather. Nice. Not too hot, not too cold and not windy.

Holy Hitler in a Handbasket!

I got my student room on the campus in England, next to the other Belgian exchange student. We'll be there for a 3 month internship. I've been waiting like 4 months for a confirmation on the room.

Tonight was the official opening and reception of what my college calls 'International Week'. It has a lot of foreign guest teachers and professors. (Swedish, Hungarian, Korean, English, German, Dutch...). I'll meet my internship mentor in person there.

The reception had free beer and wine. Not regular beer, a tripel from a picobrewery (I think) no less. I got a merry buzz.

(God I love this country sometimes.)

Oh yeah, I also got complimented on my leather jacket from a girl, and we exchanged phone numbers (not directly as in "what's your number lol!11". It was much more subtle).
If I recall correctly, I was pretty retarded for not noticing any intrest I got from her during my  school trip in November.
Not impressive? I don't care, it's much further that I've ever gotten.     
Fuck, what do I do now? The biggest problem is logistics. She has a student room in my college town, I commute. Internships start in 7 days, then we won't see each other for 3 months. After that... graduated.

Tomorrow's the college has Noche Española, with Flamenco dancing artists, wine and paella. She'll be there.

EEEEEEeeeEEEEeeEEE               

It sounds like things are already set up quite nicely for you. All I can suggest is that you make eye contact, speak clearly... don't act like a bashful 12 year-old. That means no erections while dancing, by the way.
