12:06 pm	At work So, I love my new job. I do a lot of data entry, and the project that I'm working on right now consists of 15-year planning for the critical plant systems. It takes into account what components or parts need to be replaced, upgraded, maintenanced, etc. over the next 15 years. I actually got to go into the plant for the first time today. My favorite quote of the day came from Kish, who said, "The control room is made to withstand anything up to a point, such as a telephone pole hitting it at 50 miles per hour".  Lovely, just lovely. I don't have much to do today and normally wouldn't risk writting something like a journal at work, but my supervisor and 75% of my team are gone. I don't have any tasks left to do. I'm going out tonight with a "friend" who I've only talked to once, but I need to get out of the apartment. We're going to the Lake...I think. It should be fun. Oh, Nate...I forgot. I love my new roommate. He's cool and very socially adept. He's level-headed and easy to talk to...about anything. I think the most important thing he's taught me is to do things for myself, and not because other people piss me off, whine to me, or because it's convenient. I'm not going to sit around and let other people rule my life inadvertantly, which is just a cool new idea. I'm sure I'll forget that all in a while, and I'll have to relearn it again, but that's life. I also had another cool dream the other night. I've been having a lot of cool ones recently. I guess it's my inborn love of adventure that's growing and showing. I'm stretching out of my old bounds into the unknown, and the more I stretch, the more I realize that I've been the same, wonderful person all along. I don't change much, but the situations I am in do. It's nice to realize that I have a inner sense of stability after all. A lot of doubts and cares have washed away because of that.

9:45 pm	So, I went to see Indiana Jones, Iron man, and Prince Caspian yesterday in that order. I ended up home at 1 or so, so it was a little strange for me. I normally get home at 6 after work or so. It's funny. Now that one person I know actually reads this journal, I have to watch out what I write. Make that two people. I kind of wanted it to be a thing for my children to read years down the road, something personal and freely expressed, but now I don't know. Strange how people change where and what I do.

10:45 am	Mostly Yesterday Yesterday was probably the most interesting day so far in my epic adventure in Louisiana. I had crawfish for the first time. I went to Tigerland for the first time. I was a designated driver for the first time. My roommates got pretty drunk, especially Ryan. He practically walked into a ditch...except Chris stopped him before he could. Nathan had his birthday party with all his relatives. I got to meet his entire family. They're kind of interesting. I'm listening to my new favorite song right now. So sue me, I listen to a song about a hundred times before I wear it out and then move on. That tends to be my patterns with a few things. Oh well. I'm talking to Brenden at the moment. He Googled Sondra...which turned out to have a link to a porn site where he thoroughly checked the pictures for her. Bizarre. Wow, I'm looking over some crap that happened during the Tiffany time period. It's depressing. I can't believe how much damage I did to her or her to me. We really went off the deep end. I'm really sorry all of that happened. I guess I need to learn from my mistakes. It sucks looking at that stuff and actually being able to feel the pain from it. In the past, it wouldn't have mattered to me, I was so dead and hard to it all, but now it just hurts. I guess it's too late to apologize. Maybe not.

9:58 pm	Good day. Easy. Went to lunch with Kim. She's doing well, it seems. There's so much stuff to be done. I'm sure I'll forget something. I need shoe polish, khakis, button up shirts, possibly a CAR, LOL, uhm, an ethernet cable, dishes, a check for rent...lots of stuff. Current Mood: busy (Comment on this)

7:56 pm	Ahhh, life is grand and horrible at the same time. Finals start tomorrow. I've been studying a bit for them, not as much as I'd like, though. I'm getting ready for my big trip to Louisiana.  I'm still looking for a car with my dad. Hopefully this guy will sell me his truck....oh sweet truck. Oh well, my brain stopped working. I guess I'll pick this up later. Current Music: Dark Blue!!!! (Comment on this)

9:42 pm	WOW Random running into people today... I ran into Shank-a-Dank and two of her corps buddies. I kind of wigged out because of that. I didn't know what to say when all three of them were together, not like I know what to say when Shank is alone. Anyways, it was strange. So, a few hours after seeing Shank, I ran into Paula Kern. She's failing out of College from what I can tell. It's kind of sad. She's a good kid...not the sharpest tool in the kitchen, but she has a good heart. She forgot my name, which was sad. I was kind of disappointed at that. I knew I should have written my name on that frog. LOL. Also, ran into Michelle. I practically know nothing about her, except that she knows the two craziest people I know, Adam Martin and Jennifer Caldwell.  She couldn't be too sane herself, could she? Hahah. I actually decided to see Josh one last time, even though I'm not too pleased with him. That's nothing new. I guess that's it for now.

11:53 am	Been a While Uhm, let's see. This is a few days old, but a very important person has touched my life. Okay...well, it's not all it's cut out to be. I'm not in a relationship, nor do I care to be in one, but this person is special. Hahah, nor would it be legal...Anyways, I made a friend. Or, to put it more accurately, I have a REAL friend. She, yes, SHE, is someone I can say I love you to without having to worry about what it means. I can share my disappointments with her, and she always does her best to make me happy. She's dependable because she's completely honest. She doesn't take my bullshit, and I think I like that about her. I don't judge her, because judging her is pointless. There are no boundries except the obvious physical ones, but those don't matter because we can dwell in each other's hearts. She made me so peaceful the other day when I was upset. I could hardly believe it, and yet it was so real. Happiness truly exists. I just think it took me 23 years to actually recognize it. Thank you, wherever you are...

6:58 am	Okay No time to write. Got my paper done. I 'm glad I'm finally going to pass 104. Sondra called last night. We didn't really talk about too many things. I also talked to Val and his gf, partner person. Uhm, yeah, they're all doing cool. Brenden's gone off the radar...a bit. I've applied for several jobs. I need to get writing a thing for Loadcraft...and I've got a take home test to do with Walter...and I'm late for the bus. Current Mood: rushed (Comment on this)

6:48 am	Meh, I was probably too hard on Josh in my last post. Speaking of Joshes, I saw Josh L. yesterday, too. It was just one of those days where I ran into everyone. I also avoided some of those I particularly didn't want to talk to. I've got another one of those do or die quizzes today. We'll see if I pass the class after all. I hope Daniel's at work, so I can ask him crap about it all. Current Mood: rejuvenated (Comment on this)

6:23 pm	I talked to Sondy last night in the soccer field. There was a softball game playing in the stadium, so the cheers were interesting. I could feel the bugs crawling in the grass. They were kind of creepy. Lauren got a boyfriend. They make a cute couple. That reminds me...Josh is such a dickhead. I think everyone knows that, but it's just part of his personality. He's livable most of the time, but in this situation he had the audacity to say he wouldn't let me date his sister, yet he'd let Lauren's new bf date her. Josh doesn't even know the guy. How fucking retarded can you get? He doesn't even know me for that matter, simply because I don't share anything vital with him...standard operating procedure. I crossed paths with Kim for a little while today. She looked like she was doing better than she said she was yesterday. I have no clue. I can't read emotions worth a damn. Please excuse the cursing. It's just because I don't like you. JK. The new swords came into day. That makes four total...enough for a teamed battle. LOL. Not that I can find anyone who's really brave enough anymore. It was fun fencing with Tyler and even with my dad. It sucks that he knocked my shoulder out, though. *sigh* There's nothing new going on. I can't wait to get out of town for a little while without having to do homework over the weekend. I wonder if the internship with LoadCraft will work out. I need to finish all my applying. I also need to buy a plane ticket for Chicago...actually, that might have to be a group effort. Current Mood: drained (Comment on this)

12:18 pm	So, the Earth has stopped spinning so fast and I have time to type a few things regarding...well nothing important. I went fencing with Lauren the other day. It was a blast. I need to get more people rolling on that. I ran my fastest mile ever today...a meager 6:58, but it's a six second improvement over last time. I did it with no socks, too, so the back side of my right heal is missing some skin. It hurt like a bitch when I showered and all the salt from my sweat washed over it. Heh, but I'm glad it's almost over...timed running that is. I'd rather go long and get the endorphines. I have no clue how to spell that. Anyways, Micah actually talked to me other than yelling at me for something today. Whoop! Hahah. I keep getting friend invites from people I'm not particularly fond of on facebook. I'm thinking about deleting a handful-ish....again. Not to mention, most people treat me like shit, why would I want to be their friend? Anyways, it's just a side thought.

10:46 am	Dreams Dreams are funny things. I had one the night before last. I was chillin' with my friends in this dream. I believe it was in a hotel room, obviously at night, and it was dimly lit. We were playing with these new strange looking guns that would shoot stakes...this should have been my clue that this would be another vampire dream. Of course, as soon as I opened a gun up and looked at one of these curious stakes, a small horde of vampires busted in and started attacking me and my friends. So, using my brain, I decided to ram one of these stakes into a vampire's heart. This did not work to my shock and dismay. I decided at this moment that I would simply rip the vampire's heart out and that would stop him. I often have super strength in my dreams, and this one was no exception. So, by this time I have one on my back trying to bite at me, while I stick my hand into the first vampires chest and pull out his not-so-beating heart. This didn't work, either. Then I decided I'd simply rip his head off. This did work. Vampires can't function without their heads....go figure. By this time, my friends were being overrun and I could tell I needed to do something quick. So, I got loose and pulled a Dragon Ball Z, kamehameha style, blowing up the one pesky vampire who was biting at me and vaporizing all his friends with the light generated from the blast. Yeah...my dreams seem to be the most exciting thing going on around here. Current Mood: bored Current Music: This is Your Life (Comment on this)

3:36 pm	So, since I've gotten in Brady, I've gone driving all over the place with my family. We had hamburgers last night at Charlie and Jackson's place. Charlie has had four open-heart surgeries and likes to play WWF Smackdown. Jackson is a little trouble-maker and reminds me of Jackson Rogers...an older, but no less troublesome version, jk. Uhm, I taught in church today, which was weird. I made friends with a kid named max who's 14 and about a foot taller than I am. We're going running together tonight. I've been sucking down cheesecake and icecream since I've been here, so I'm about as unhealthy as I've been in months. Hahah, it's not that bad, but I sure do have a lot of sugar to run off. I hope I'm getting over whatever I came down with last week. I haven't been coughing as much for the past few hours. Current Mood: lazy (Comment on this)

11:51 pm	Ready for the Break I figure I'm not going to be online too terribly much during the break, unless I get bored in Brady or something. Brady's notorious for boredom. So I'll have to watch out. What can I say, it's not Padre, but at least I'll get a shot at Secret Squirrel. Actually, I'm just looking forward to a lot of sleep...enough to kill a moose. On the flipside, I think I finally passed a CVEN quiz. I think the class is retardedly meticulous. But a passing grade is always welcomed. I get to ride in Kim's parents' BMW tomorrow...sweeeeeet! I'm stoked. It's now tomorrow...wow...that's what happens when you're up late. Well, I get to see Ryan again today at 1:00. I get to turn in my homework, then I have lots and lots of free time. Now I have to figure out what to do with it. Current Mood: anxious (Comment on this)

6:41 am	Well, the sore throat is going away, which is good. I don't think the headache or fever is quite gone yet. We'll see how this timed mile and a half turns up. I might just run with the girls, seeing as they're slow enough not to push myself. I didn't get all the homework done that I planned on doing. I guess that happens when you're sick. Thermodynamics just loses its appeal when your brain's already throbbing. Let's see. Mike and Aaron visited yesterday. I guess they're my HTs. That's a complicated situation if I ever created one. I seem to have a talent for creating drama. Call me a girl. I woke up at 5 this morning, so it's kind of strange. I've been up for an hour with nothing to do other than get ready for school. It gives me time to think. Lord knows I have a lot of that to be doing. Oh, Spring Break plans: squirrel hunting in Brady. I'm finally going to get that bastard Secret Squirrel!

9:01 am	Being Sick Sucks So, I've got a sore throat and slight headache and probably shouldn't even be online. But hey, who's going to stop me? I got my paper back from the Caire bear, so I'm happy. She always works miracles with my papers, so I'm happy. Let's see, yesterday I went running (probably over 3 miles), that's when my sore throat started ever so slightly. Uhm, after that I pretty much chilled with Jen and Daniel for the entire rest of the day. We went shopping...I hate to sound girly, but I love shopping. Then we watched A Walk to Remember, which was only so good. I watched a couple of episodes of Bleach, and after all that, Daniel gave me a ride home. Daniel needs to learn how to drive (better), by the way, and I was afraid I was going to bust my new A&M mug somewhere along the way. Current Mood: sick (Comment on this)

2:53 pm	So, randomness strikes again. There are two buildings on campus named Caine. Now, normally this wouldn't be a problem if my Thermodynamics professor had designated that the one intended was on North Campus rather than by the MSC. Lucky for me the one by the MSC had what I was really looking for, instead of what I thought I was looking for. Maybe it's a little known fact, but Caine by the MSC contains counseling services. Now, I know somebody who's reading this is going to freak and say "oh, my, Tommy's seeing a counselor for his problems!" Well, what if I am, you're probably the one causing the problems in the first place, not to blame you. My guess is that whoever you are, I need to stop thinking about you and focus on myself and how I can improve myself, rather than how you would belittle me in any way shape or form. Wow, that was confusing. Anyways, I'm seeing someone named Ryan for my problems. Turns out he's a bit like me, comes from the same background. He's intelligent, picks up quickly, and he cares, which is awesome. I'm tired of people not really caring or knowing how to care. He said I needed more outlets, which I think I'm going to use livejournal as one. YAY! Anyways, rock on everyone! Current Music: Loud Pipes (Comment on this)
