Seems horrifically insecure and scared to death of anybody liking her.

Introducing yourself by assuming that everybody hates you / has some reason to have a problem with you / you will have a problem with them, is generally a great way to make sure all of the above are true.

I wish they’d assigned me this project on my own… I am working with a guy who is trying to give them what they said they want. They don’t know that what they want isn’t what they [b]need[/b] to do what they want and they don’t understand why, even though I’ve explained it several times now, because they don’t understand the functionality they’re asking for. So I am trying to build what I know they will need, and he is building what they think they want.

This is why I prefer to work [b]alone.[/b]

Another semester with a 4.0 GPA \o//

Awesome!

I kinda wish I’d put a little more time into school work. I probably could have gotten more 4.0′s, but I was content with slacking off, never studying and pulling 3.5. Yeah, my work ethic really is bad.

My uncle just sent me a text addressing me as "Chucklebuttyhampton".

I think he's drunk.

You [b]hope[/b] he’s drunk.

Put a cheap 2.25" exhaust on the car this weekend. A lot less money than the 3" I want someday, and also all I'll need unless I do a heavy block-deep tuneup and swap the turbo. Stock cat was plugged and backpressuring really bad. Now I need a PCV.

I will drive back downstate and get some of my stuff this coming weekend, or next. I have to keep reminding myself I'm not actually going there to kill people, I am just getting stuff and coming back. I didn't hate my brother or father half as much as some people down there, and I came very close to shooting / stabbing both of them at various points in time. Maybe I'll wait until someone can be there to chaperon. lol

The guy who quit at work had a better mouse / keyboard combo than the one I got, so I am planning to swap it with my crummy one after work today before a replacement comes in and gets it.

My day? It’s only 9AM, I’m at work, and already on SanCom. That’s how my day is.

I’m working on “research” projects for stuff we’ll probably never use. I’ll do it, of course, since I’m not just a dork (I’m much more in addition to being a dork!). The motivation is just coursing through my veins. :/

You know… if my manager wasn’t such a terrible manager, he’d actually be an ok guy. Every now and then I notice that and think “damn, dude, if you only had a job that you were good at, you’d probably be really good at it.”

Gonna go look at a Tracker in a used car lot on lunch today. It ain’t worth what they’re asking, and even if I like it there ain’t a chance in hell I’ll go that high. The only “high point” (if anything is a high point on a Tracker) is it has the ZR2 package. A 4×4 crackerjack prize with acceptable gas mileage is a nice fit for the winters and backroads around here.

….I haven’t been gone that long? Why are there people here I don’t recognize? Don’t things stay in a state of stasis when I’m not looking at them?

I’ve been devising ways of using Arduinos to regulate pulse width to the injectors on my car so I can use a custom welding intake without having to replace the electronics package. If I die, the secrets of how this car actually run will be forever lost, and it will have to be rebuilt.

That’s basically what I did all day. I don’t think the circuit design is completely right, but it’s really close.

I can think a lot better since I came back up north, here. I couldn’t have been doing this stuff back down in that rat-hole city; too many people, too much anxiety, and, most importantly, too much constant bullshit with stupid people I had to dumb down for in order to maintain working social relationships with (I know none of the people I’m referring to ever read this forum, and the people I know who do are actually worth continued interaction with, and know who I’m talking about).

It’s been a long time since I felt this good. The only bad part is having to go back down to get the rest of my stuff soon.

Probably broke up with my girlfriend. I love her, but I am sick of this “I have to tell you I’m leaving you to get you to talk about anything real” shit she lays on me. No, you don’t. You just had to tell me you wanted to talk. Period. There are only so many times I’m going to fall for that crap and try to “keep her.”

Maybe that’s how you keep a guy out in a fucking ghetto, but here these retarded, manipulative head game just piss us off because we play it straight (or at least I do).

Those ghetto repairs not doing it anymore.

Lol yeah, it is in severe limp mode, atm… most of it is to be expected, though. All of the failing junk is original equipment with all 140k on it, even the suspension. Cheap bastards before me never even changed springs :

Anyway, Alita is going to be staying with my dad for a while so he can change the headgasket, camshaft seals, the alternator mount, and then we’ll do the suspension next weekend. I’m borrowing my uncle’s LeSabre until it’s all done.

Haven’t heard anything from my girlfriend since last night, which is creepy as fuck since it’s not even like we were fighting…

Drove to my dad’s place, because the new suspension is ready to go in, the camshaft outer seal is failing catastrophically, and the head gasket is letting minuscule amounts of coolant into the oil under boost pressures. BUT the alternator mounting bolt broke off shortly after I left and it started overheating because the pump runs off the same belt which was now loose and floppy.

SO.. I did some ghetto repairs with a window scraper and bungees to hold the alternator up and put tension on the belt. Made it within five miles before the belt shredded. I looped the remaining “decent” half of the belt over the pullies again and drove the last leg.

I love this car, but… my gods, she HATES me for waking her up from her 15 year nap. Oh yeah, either the radiator fan motor is hosed, too, or the relay is bad. And we’re pulling the radiator and having it recored.

Internet is hooked up now. Along with phone and TV. So awesome to have connectivity again.

Nothing much else is too different though.

Except my girlfriend asked if I’d wear one of my crossplays for sex, because she’s bi and has a futanari fetish.

So yeah, pretty bad-ass day, all around. :D

Ahh, well, even if we do, it'll be an awesome time for a while.

And honestly we're both totally psychotic and possessive, so it'd be a little surprising if we split up, no matter what happens. Hehehehe

Whaaaaaat?! It’s 4:30am already? Time flies when you’re mildly intoxicated.

She's pregnant already, or she's just planning?

Lmao
Nah, she’s got two kids already, so we’ll need a little more than a two door. Oh, and she can’t drive stick, so I’ll definitely need a vehicle for her. I fucking love her, but she is not grinding Alita’s gears learning a manual transmission, period.

The perfect way to celebrate finishing my shitty job, moving up north, starting my new job, and having my girlfriend come to move in with me:

Couple of Dragon’s Milk beers, cake, and JoJo ep 26.

Hehe, it doesn’t take much for me to celebrate. I’m pretty excited, though. This next month or so will be super tight on money, but absolutely awesome.

Hahaha, my spell check is saving me from typing like a drunk right now.

I need a dependable little beater car while Alita gets parked and has her suspension changed, and gets an engine upgrade. Thinking I’ll do a TII upgrade, either a few months from now when I can just buy a long block, or if I can buy a wrecked out TII car, like a Daydonor Turbo Z for parts and stash it at my mom’s place to do Frankenstein work on the weekends this summer.

My girlfriend thinks I need a more family oriented car, too, rather than Alita, but the car is staying, regardless. I will buy a 2nd, though. But even though Alita’s an electrical mess, she’s my other baby, atm, and will be a 10 second goddess someday, no matter what.

I am having a good time right now. I’m gonna have more cake and try to decide what movie to watch.

Last day (night) of work is done.

Now time to move, and start work on Monday. Lol

You know how you can tell when someone is awesome?

They still send corrections for any spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes they make, even while sexting.

I actually took the day (night) off. I never do that.

But I felt like crap, so I did. My head is still overly stuffy and my ears won’t pop. I’m still a little weird when I stand up, my glands are still swollen, I still feel mildly nauseated randomly, I can’t feel my teeth, and my joints still hurt, but my throat doesn’t feel like I swallowed a porcupine anymore. If my damn tonsils weren’t fucked up already, I’d be done with this crap yesterday.

Having some pancakes and bacon. I don’t feel like eating, but I don’t want to think of how I’ll feel if I don’t eat.

On the other hand, I’m still happy with how the Walking Dead season ended, so I’ve had worse weekends. hehehehe

Except for feeling dizzy and like I'm going to vomit periodically, I feel loads better than I did when I woke up this morning.

uh… yesterday morning, I suppose I meant.

Been watching Keeping up Appearances in between watching weird old movies and feeling exhausted.

Seriously considering NOT going to Ohio to work today. If I could show up Tuesday night… ok. But if I feel like I do now by noon today, I am not going to be in any shape to drive that far, climb ladders, or do any heavy lifting (aka my job).

Ok, I guess I’ll randomly feel like I’m burning to death, now… yuck.

My only concern with that is that it's my last week, and I don't want to seem like I am just blowing it off. I've never taken a day for injury or sickness, so it would be suspect. I really feel like shit, though.
