                <description><![CDATA[ Last night after working a 12 hr shift at the fair I went to Seattle with a friend.  We got slurpees and went to my fav. spot in Fremont by the canal.  He fell in the canal while trying to not pee on a cat.  Then we went to the troll and walked across the Aurora bridge....All the while taking pictures...Then we ended up in West Seattle.  We watched the sunrise behind the Seattle skyline from a dock on Alki.  I'm still trying to find words to do it justice.  It was simply amazingly beautiful.  It was a simply amazing night. <br /><br />This morning my grandma asked me if I knew that I might be an android.  She also said I can turn my emotions on and off.  Then my sister said I was a Japanese sex robot.  Brunch with family is not always pleasant...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I was on my knees painting and my pants were falling down.  So I thought oh shit my pants are falling down and tried to pull them up.  While doing that I dripped paint on the wood so I reached back for a paper towel while pulling up my pants.  Bad move.  I lost my balance and fell bare-assed onto a wet paintbrush.  Not cool.  I think I got all the paint off my ass...It will be a long time before I paint again.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why is itchy not a choice?  Llama will have to do.  I'm allergic to dogs and extremely allergic to flea medication.  I went to my aunt and uncle's house and they had just put Advantage on their 4 dogs.  It was also hot and stuffy in their house.  Visit from hell.  I'm still itching quite badly.  On a high note today I did get my food handlers card and a job at the fair so I'm not a total bum.  I also now have a piece of camping foam to sleep on so I can move in the mornings now.  I made soup today but my mom didn't have salt or basil and it tasted like shit without it so I had to go to the store.  By the time I got back my taters were mush and the soup was bad all over again.  Perhaps I will try to add some red taters tomorrow.  They hold up better.  I still love our new house.  It's the nicest place I've ever lived.  I haven't done anything to unpack or arrange my room.  Maybe tomorrow I'll take care of that.  There are lots of weird angles in this house.  There is a corner of my room that creates an optical illusion.  It looks like the ceiling dips down but it doesn't.  I don't know what to do with a good sized room, especially one that is so long.  Well I'm even boring myself now so I'm done.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Still no job...haven't even found a lot of things to apply for.  The ones I did apply for...well haven't heard anything.  So far the places I have gone to I can tell when I walk in that it's miserable there and the managers are assholes.  I would have applied for the fair already, but my mom's car is in the shop so I can't get my food handlers card.  On the bright side we did get a really awesome house.  We get the keys Friday so I'll have my own space and privacy again.  I just need to buy a bed now.  My back is out everywhere, I've had a headache for about a month now, and I'm doomed to hate my job I'm pretty sure if I ever get one.  I want to talk to an ex friend who had only caused me pain both mentally and physically so I know I shouldn't.  You know who you are.  My uncle gave me some awesome shoes.  Only perk of having giant man feet.  I can't wait to get back in school.  I want to learn so many languages.  Forgive me for needing to be a downer.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...I'm an Audio Engineer...I have a degree in that...but I think I need another career too...you know, one that actually makes decent money and has health benefits...So I think I'm going to be a radiologist too...and get a degree in that that will transfer so I can be an interpreter too... So add Christmas Tree Lot Owner and Fruit Whore and I'll have a very...interesting...resume...I guess...I haven't missed any deadlines for winter quarter yet so I can still go to school this year and do what I want.  Finally something that's going to go right in my life again...It's truly a relief. I just have to remember The Way Out Is Through and All I've Undergone, I Will Keep On.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Her dog is currently barking at me because I won't share my golden raisins with it...  I'm currently obsessed with The Food Network.  I've been kinda forced into dieting since I've lived with my mom because I'm broke and she only eats healthy food.  It's weird...  I'm looking for a job and we're looking for a house.

I've been working like a slave, my back is fucked, and I have other medical problems...just a few more weeks and I get to move back in with my mom and live on her couch until her lease is up.  I took stock of my life the other day...I have asthma, I'm allergic to everything, I have big thick glasses, I have a technical degree, I can't wait to move back in with my mom, and...I was in a comic book store...What happened?!  LOL GEEK GEEK  GEEEEEEK...If I decided I do like Star Wars, Star Trek, Pokemon, or anything else...Someone has taken over my body.  Possible psychotic roadtrip with my cousin planned.  Let's just say I put Puyallup -> NYC, NYC-> Jacksonville, Fl, Jacksonville->New Orleans, New Orleans ->Stilwell, OK, Stilwell -> Grand Canyon NTL Park, Grand Canyon ->LA, LA to Puyallup, but on HWY 101 into mapquest <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> We have 2 weeks to do it...The Way Out is Through...All I've undergone I will keep on...That is my new mantra...Also, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac kicks ass.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ School has started again.  I don't have to be there until 10:30am every day.  It's really nice <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  Going to be an intern at community radio station in town.  Low Power FM 100 watts...Like a light blub lol...I'm addicted to blip.fm ...I went for a walk the other day because it was nice and I ended up falling and mangling myself pretty badly.  Chucks on steep hill with gravel on pavement = badly scraped knee, bump on elbow, and hurt wrist.  Now both hands randomly drop stuff and shake... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I'll be alright in a couple more days though.  I only managed to get schedule 1 day for the rest of this month at work.  It's really lame.  My car is now fixed as far as the engine goes.  Have to deal with the bumpers being a different color of red than the rest of the car.  That's about all I have to report for now.  I remembered that I wanted to write a story for each Ghosts track...Might get to that.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Spring break...I don't get to go anywhere...I've been under a lot of stress lately, but I'm feeling better now that I don't have to deal with school for a while.  I start training for my job tomorrow.  I also must deal with my car.  I got it back from the shop with some problems...The engine was making a gurgling sound, the spoiler on my bumper isn't flush, my new bumpers are a different color of red than the rest of the car, there was a cover missing...just generally NOT COOL.  So I took it back...they claimed to fix it...and didn't...they weren't taking me seriously so I called my insurance company and they're dealing with it.  So today I had it looked at and fixed by the Honda dealership I bought it at.  Much better.  Tomorrow I bitch about the color.  I've been having to look for my happy place lately.  I can't go to my really happy place so I'm looking for other happy places...Turns out my happy places are by the canal in Fremont in Seattle...and listening to NIN or The Flaming Lips...I've had really weird things stuck in my head lately...A Flock of Seagulls...Earth, Wind, and Fire...NIN...The Flaming Lips...Dave Matthews Band...<br /><br />My comfort playlist...<br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.playlist.com/playlist/15687127819">[link]</a><br /><br />It's odd what I find soothing sometimes...I feel like a geek...lately I've been reading comic books...I love The Dark Tower...I've also been watching cooking shows online...Iron Chef America...Hell's Kitchen...some other show I don't even know the name of...and I've been watching House and Scrubs...It's just a weird time for me...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Time to just let go.  I really don't know what happened to me after I posted my last journal entry.  I just kinda shut down for a while.  I just got more and more stressed and honestly I have very little memory of the last month or so.  It was bad enough that I've already blocked it out of my memory.  Sometimes I wish I could have learned to do this much earlier.  I think it was the thought of my dreams ending while I'm still working towards them and having no control over it.  Lately I look into the future and I really see no hope.  Inevitably we're all fucked.  We will destroy ourselves.  Since yesterday I've managed to pick myself up and put myself back together again.  I'm starting to get my shit together and be productive again.  If I don't have something to work towards I feel like I don't have a purpose and without a purpose I don't really see a point in being alive.  So I managed to get prepared for school next year.  By this summer I'll have a 2 year degree in Audio Technology.  This is the only thing I've ever really wanted to do in my life.  It's my purpose.  <br /><br />When my mom turned 21 she was about 6 months pregnant with me.  She went out dancing with her friends even though she couldn't drink.  She said I kicked when the band played and stopped when the band stopped.  Before I could walk I used to watch MTV and I had favorite videos I'd crawl to the TV for.  I'd pull myself up and head bang in time.  No matter what I was doing.  When I did learn to walk I learned how to work the stereo.  By the time I was 3 I had my own stereo and cassettes.  For my 7th birthday I got my first CD player and CDs.  I had those CDs in perfect condition up until they were stolen a few years ago.  The dedication it takes for a kid to take care of something that delicate is amazing.  Music has always been my thing but I've never really played an instrument or been able to write it.  In the 8th grade when I was pretty much in my own hell and I wanted to die my teacher gave us an assignment.  Figure out what you want to be when you grow up and do a report on it.  I really didn't have a clue what I wanted to do.  I knew I wanted to do something with music, but what?  Then it hit me.  Someone has to record it.  Why couldn't it be me?  I'm good with electronics and I know a lot about music even if I can't play it.  So I started to look into it.  I didn't even know what you called such a person.  Then I was listening to Nine Inch Nails which had re-entered my life in just the past few years.  I had The Fragile and I was listening to La Mer and Just Like You Imagined and I had just kinda learned the concept of mixing and I thought, wow it would take a lot to mix that.  There is so much going on making it sound right is like an art in itself.  Then I knew how I could be a part of music creatively without being able to write it.  At that point I still didn't have a name for what I wanted to be.  Eventually I figured out that what I wanted to be was an Audio Engineer.  Ever since that day I have worked towards being an audio engineer.  It has always been at the back of my mind.  <br /><br />For my 16th birthday my mom took me to the Experience Music Project in Seattle.  They had a small very simple mixing board set up there for everyone to try out.  You could mix the song Sweet Dreams(Are Made of This)  by the Eurythmics. (Weird coincidence, Annie Lennox and I share the same birthday, are both left-handed I believe, and my middle name is Anne)  When I got a hold of that mixing board it was like a a light went off in my head.  It was like the planets aligned or some shit.  It was amazing.  I was even more sure it was what I should do.  Then at a Pearl Jam concert I had another epiphany, I could mix sound live.  I'm 21 and I'm currently living in my 21st house.  By the time I'm 22 I will have moved another couple of times, I already have this planned.  I don't know how to stop moving.  I can't think of anything better than being at a concert every night, mixing, and touring.  <br /><br />Of course my dream has always been to work with Trent Reznor.  Nine Inch Nails is how I realized my purpose in life.  Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band and has always been a part of my life.  Pretty Hate Machine came out just before I turned 2 and I know for a fact I listened to it then and I loved it.  I can clearly remember being about 4 and having Down In It stuck in my head.  I remember loving Closer and watching the video when it first came out...when I was 6.  After The Downward Spiral came out there was a gap where Trent didn't put any more albums out and I kinda forgot about Nine Inch Nails.  Slowly I started to remember.  I don't remember how.  I had gotten a computer and I was downloading music.  I think I was 10 or 11.  I was trying to find everything I used to listen to on the radio in Seattle.  There were some things I didn't have because only I liked them.  Like Tool, and some Soundgarden, just everything I could rememb... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while. Last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour was something I'm quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production.<br /><br />Why do I feel like the only dream I've ever had was just crushed?<br />What the fuck am I going to do now?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I hit a bridge...twice...it hurt.  So now my wrist and hand are fucked up and so it my car.  There is a giant bruise between my fingers and my wrist is fucked again...At least its my right one again.  Didn't go to school today.  Too tired and sore and I'd have to go over the fucking bridge.  NOT fun...The night before that point was fun though.  It was the Jazz Festival's main concert.  I was in charge of recording.  I can appreciate jazz now.  This was Saturday night BTW...Sunday I went to another jazz show in town, we had comp tickets.  For now I'm bored and sore.  It's lame, can't play the Wii, I'm out of batteries even if it wouldn't hurt like hell.  To make up for that I've been watching Invader Zim and listening to Ghosts and The Flaming Lips...I'm starting to talk like I'm a character from Invader Zim, its bad and they didn't even give me any good meds...Well enough whining, you've all been updated.  Behold the stupidity...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've apparently let this go for a while.  Understandable though...I've moved, gone through finals, opened a business, watched that business do poorly, survived the stomach flu during a horrible snow storm that resulted in 37 inches of snow, gotten stuck in the snow, and figured out that I'm probably doomed to spend my 21st birthday in Spoketuckey, the lamest place in the universe.  I hate my life sometimes...I've been so stressed lately. It's nice to have my own apartment in town, even if my landlords are evil, and my windows fall open when its 4 degrees outside, and I get stuck in the parking lot...The good news is I finally sleep through the night.  Well not lately...too many nightmares....Ugh...I just want to drink...and I can...in three days <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So much going on at the moment.  My cousin has agreed to help me get a place asap.  So I may have my own apartment soon.  Next Saturday, the 22nd our Christmas trees will be delivered.  Getting close to the end of the quarter at school so finals will be soon.  Just so much crap to do.  I have a project I should be working on now.  "Buying" gear for a hypothetical studio and designing the patch bay and stuff...Lots of work, supposed to be working in a group but the people in my group don't regularly show up for class <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I got Christmas On Mars last night, the Flaming Lips movie...its odd, hence the title...I got the DVD that came with the film score and that's the name of one of the tracks, The Gleaming Armament of Marching Genitalia...WTF!  LOL...Anyway back to doing what I'm supposed to!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

There is hope <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I cried happy tears.  This is just so amazing.  He won by a landslide and I'm proud to say I voted for him.  I never thought that would happen.  I hope he lives up to our expectations and doesn't make me regret this...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.kirotv.com/video/17861917/index.html">[link]</a><br /><br />Thursday night at about 6 my uncle was killed in a horrible car accident.  A man believed to be under the influence was going south on I-5 and crossed the median into the north bound lanes where he hit a car which in turn rolled over my uncle's acura, killing him...So fucking sad.  I was just starting to get closer to him.  I'd always been close to my aunt Jeannie, his wife, but I was just starting to get to know him.  The link is to a video of the news story, they interview my cousin Jason and it shows video of what the accident looked like when it was all over.  This just fucking sucks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Shoot to kill...Aim to please...<br /><br />Killed my internet...I can use the neighbors...without them knowing...which I am...but my batteries are running low and I don't feel like finding the cord...HAPPY HALLOWEEN...My fav. holiday...I'm going to a costume party...I will be Velma from Scooby Doo...Yes skirt and all...Buy Heart On, the new Eagles of Death Metal album...it is awesome...<br /><br /><br /><br />[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?<br />Whatever...<br /><br />[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized, and become a strung-out, withered husk of a man/woman you are now?<br />No way in hell...<br /><br />[03] Abortion: for or against it?<br />Pro choice<br /><br />[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?<br />...There are female presidents in other countries...just not the US...<br /><br />[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?<br />I think its kind of a bad idea...<br /><br />[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?<br />Yes.  Definitely...<br /><br />[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?<br />Fuck marriage <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br />[08] Do you believe in God?<br />No.  Not at all...  Not even a little bit... Never have...<br /><br />[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?<br />Yes... why the hell not...<br /><br />[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?<br />I don't care if they move here, but they need to be in the system...<br /><br />[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?<br />Its up to her/her guardians. I honestly don't think most people can make proper choices until they're 17-19 years old so whatever their guardians feel is best. - I agree...<br /><br />[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?<br />No. 19, yes. 18, no. From a biological standpoint, the human brain doesn't stop physically growing until around age 19. Until then I feel kids shouldn't touch the shit at risk of damage. Once at the "stopped growing" point and you've learned most of what you're going to learn in life it should be fine.<br /><br />- also agree...<br /><br />[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?<br />Should have never been started...<br /><br />[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?<br />...stupid fucking question...if you mean do I think it should be illegal...no, in fact I just voted to pass the law legalizing it in the state of Washington today....<br /><br />[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?<br />Hell yes, not to the point of abuse, but the fuckers have to learn...<br /><br />[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?<br />Hell yes.  <br /><br />[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?<br />OBAMA.  I actually like Obama...<br /><br />[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?<br />Don't give a shit.<br /><br />[19] The President has been kidnapped by NINJAS! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President??<br />LOL.  Why couldn't they have done that before he totally fucked up the country?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why I usually don't wear women's pants...<br /><br />I decided to stop wearing men's pants because well...there are a lot of areas they don't fit quite right...They're more my style...but I'm tired of shorts being capris and the crotch being...well not right...So I had to go through the horrible process of finding women's pants....scary...I've recently lost a little bit of weight so I didn't know what size I wear...I have no ass so pants tend to fall off my ass even though they're tight in the waist its odd...and I'm 5'7" but I have the legs of someone who is 5'4"...so pants are always too long...Then there are all the different cuts and styles of pants to deal with...As it turns out after trying about 9 totally different types and sizes of women's pants it turns out that the kind that fit me best are, "Classic Rise, Slim Boot-Cut, Stretch, Size 16, Short."  That's a lot of fucking information....<br /><br />The Slip...<br /><br />So I ordered a physical copy of The Slip, even though I downloaded it the moment it came out...I felt I needed to have one of these limited edition beauties...then today I was going to read the lyrics at the fruit stand and I dropped the case and about shit myself because it's limited edition and I might no be able to get a new one should i ruin it...then I thought well if I get another one there might be different little symbol papers in there...so I fucking ordered a second copy to put up...I'm...ugh...I'm incredibly cheap...I'm like a NIN fanatic officially now...I've been to 3 NIN shows, I've wanted to fuck Trent Reznor since I was like 10, I frame the artwork I get from going to NIN listening parties that I wait hours for in the cold...I aspire to work for the touring company Trent Reznor uses so I can mix NIN and maybe meet him and/or work for him in his studio...FANATIC...I'm also totally obsessed with the symbols for the slip and I'm going to get some of them as tattoos...along with some other NIN tattoos...and awesome equalizer bars on my wrists like some people do flames <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I'm a pathetic audio geek obsessed with NIN and gear...sad...LOL...FANATIC...<br /><br />School...<br /><br />I start school September 22nd this year.  I just ordered my books for this quarter.  2 of them...The Mixing Engineer's Handbook is one and The Musician's Guide To Pro Tools is the other...   4 classes, 2 teachers, 2 new books, 2 classes use the same book I'm thinking, and another uses a book we already bought last year...I'm thinking it will be a similar situation next quarter...I went with the free shipping again...who knows when I'll get them...<br /><br />Horrible Service....<br /><br />We went out to eat after shopping...Went to a stake house with a vegetarian...Horrible waitress...Kept arguing with us...I said the pop is flat, she said it wasn't...bitch...Then when it came time for desert that came with the meal she was no where to be found for 15 minutes and the hostess was missing too...so my cousin went into the back and got her...quite embarassing...but the bitch deserved it...My mom and cousin were waitresses for years...they know what it takes to do the job and she was ridiculously incompetent...and argumentative...lame shit...I've only had worse service once before and it was because I was with a group of friends...bastards...If they had only treated us as they do all the other guests they could have gotten a good tip but no...I've tipped like 40% before when I'm with friends because I know they don't tip...<br /><br />So with all that boring shit I'm going to pass out now...I still don't get days off...but with my mom here I've been able to take naps at least <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I heart naps...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Took lots of pictures...none of them came out great, but it was dark for most of them....Had an indian taco...quite delicious.  Fry bread kicks a tortillas ass...then again it is deep fried and horrible for you too...I was surrounded by Christan booths...it was crazy and the republican booth...I got pictures of some...not great but entertaining anyway...the like Baptist or some shit place was selling deep fried Twinkies....crazy shit...anyway...I'm no exhausted and I'm going to bed.  I did get to sleep for as long as I wanted to this afternoon though thanks to my mom being in town and working.  Ugh...SLEEP...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I gambled about 99 cents away...Big gambler...LOL...The whole way there and back I was in a really weird mood.  Listening to Tool.  Always inspires something weird.  I finally figured out how the book I've always wanted to write should play out and end.  I've only been trying to figure this out for like 4 years now...I think it will be awesome...tonight anyway...we'll see tomorrow.  I think it will work.  It will be totally unstructured and confuse the hell out of you...Much like this journal <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I'm really into Rosetta Stoned and  Right In Two right now...I have an appointment with the allergist next week, hopefully they can make me stop itching...School starts in a month and like a week.  I have stuff coming in the mail.  My mom is coming to visit.  I found out how much financial aid I'll be getting.  I'm starting to get nervous about stuff and having nightmares.  Drooling a lot is a sign that I'm not sleeping well...I woke up with a handful of drool today <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Well work in the morning as usual...Goodnight all...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So lately my stomach seems to be a bottomless pit...It's weird.   Mary Jo insists that its because I'm working so hard and my body is starting to burn calories efficiently...Whatever, I guess so, but knowing that isn't going to stop me from eating the fucking house...Supposed to have company tonight but they postponed until tomorrow....bored....and tired...I work A LOT...and HARD...No fun.  I want school to start just so I have an excuse to work less...Still waiting for my financial aid letter, should have come today but it didn't...can you say annoying?  I guess I'll quit bitching.  You get what my whole month has been like now, tired, hungry, bored....Oh, and I now find chicken totally disgusting for some reason...can't eat it.  I used to only eat chicken, now I gag at the thought of it...lame...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ LOL SO...Towards the begining of the NIN show tonight suddenly everything stops at the end of a song and does not continue as it should...It is WAY to early for them to quit for an encore so everyone is thinking WTF?!  Next thing you know Trent is alone on stage saying someone didn't push the button for the lights.  Some one needs to push the button for the lights.  As soon as we find the guy who pushes the button we can start the show again.  Please be patient.  So the crowd starts chanting PUSH THE BUTTON...LOL Official start of the tour that's going to last 14 years <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  Another joke from Trent...If this is a sign of things to come it looks like its going to be a long tour for NIN...Despite the technical difficulties it was FUCKING AWESOME!!! Better then the other times...They played a few Ghost tracks totally awesome...Trent had like a xylophone thing and giant shaker bell things and was goin' to town...Then they played Piggy with a fucking mandolin, a cello, a key board, drums, and of course Trent on a fucking xylophone...There were totally dueling xylophones...AWESOME...I need a new adjective...AWESOME...3rd time I've seen them, second time at Key Arena...Best show so far minus the button not being pushed <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  Visuals might have been cooler the first time at Key Arena, but there was a new spin on some old favorites which was really great.  It's so good to be home...I love the weather here.......sigh..................................................<br />OK time for bed.  TheWhiteFalcon is going to help me dye my hair tomorrow to try to make up for this fucked up haircut I just got...Cut it way shorter than I told her to.  In fact it was perfect and then she kept cutting after I told her it was good...Looked like she was cutting just the side because my bangs were pushed to the other side...no she cut my bangs too short so now I have little boy hair so I'm going to dye it black and pink so everyone knows these are just regular boobs NOT MAN BOOBS!!!<br /><br />...................nothing can stop me now.......................<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...My cousin is here from out of town with is boyfriend.  We went out on the boat with another cousin yesterday.  I refused to give my cousin the satisfaction of throwing me off the tube so I'm VERY sore today.  Like I whine when I turn the steering wheel sore...LOL  I'm a HUGE whiner when I'm sore.  Other kinda of pain I can handle, but if it stings or it's sore I whine big time.  I'm still a little itchy.  Went to the doctor today they told me to take a bunch of antihistamines all the time and referred me to an allergist...I seriously should have let go of the tube on the last ride...I should have went flying but I didn't and I felt and heard my back crack...Fun stuff though.  I get so nervous on the boat since the accident but I have no problems having the boat pull me...Weird...Ugh...I'm gonna pass out for a while and maybe play Sims 2.  I have to pick another cousin up from an appointment in Spokane later and go back to Spokane when my cousin and his boyfriend get back from going to Silverwood.  I would have gone but I can barely move...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...Today is another cleaning day.  Company tonight...my cousin's cousin...she's 13 and will be staying with us for a couple weeks...Tonight my cousin and his boyfriend arrive at about 2am...NINE INCH NAILS Saturday...Must clean my room, car, and bathtub...but I'm sitting on my ass for a bit first.  I went to work today.  I itch if I just go outside so I figured I may as well go to work and earn some money if I'm going to itch anyway.  It's just worse there...My sister is going to be staying with us at the same time as my cousin's cousin...Should be interesting...My sister got her drivers license the other day...it's so weird...and scary...I don't think she should be driving yet...I don't think anyone should get their license until they're at least 18.  I didn't.  The radio did something totally creepy today.  I was just sitting there and it came on all by itself.  I had it on one radio station turned all the way down and all of a sudden it turns itself up playing country music.  My uncle says it's haunted by a ghost that hates me.  I consider playing country music or a saxophone in my presence an insult <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  On a not so funny note my Great-Great-Uncle Jim died today.  He had a heart attack yesterday.  He was pretty old and I believe he had Alzheimer's so it's kinda expected but still sad.  I didn't know him well but he always recognized me even if I hadn't seen him in 5+ years.  Now that I've bummed everyone out I'm going to go do something else...Like eat or something.  I'm not ready to clean more yet.  Maybe I'll unload the dishwasher or something...<br /><br />........................................................<br /><br />Not to touch the Earth<br />Not to see the Sun<br />Nothing left to do, but run, run, run<br />Let's run, let's run<br /><br />..........<br /><br />I am the lizard king.  I can do anything.<br /><br />........................................................<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OH GOD IT ITCHES!!!!  I've been developing allergies to things over the past couple years to go with my asthma you know...Lately just walking into the fruit stand causes me to itch like fucking crazy all over.  So I'm trying to cashier but in my head I'm thinking "OMFG EVEN MY FUCKING NIPPLES ARE ITCHING!!!"...and people wonder why I'm not as pleasant as usual....But at least I now have a slurpee with an awesome metal straw...Have to clean today.  Company tomorrow.  More company Monday.  I finally get to meet my cousin's boyfriend.  We're trying to convince him to move here so my cousin will too.  Then I only have to pay 1/3 of the rent and that would be nice.  NIN next weekend WWWOOOO WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  I heart NIN!  Other than that I just work constantly through the itching and sneezing...I'm so interesting...Well...NAP TIME!!!<br /><br /><br />I am the lizard king.  I can do anything... - Jim Morrison<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It is a miracle...I've finally decided to stop being lazy and get my birth certificate...I originally thought I was going to have to go to Olympia to get it, but fortunately I'm going to be in the county where I was born visiting relatives on my way back to Idaho so I can stop somewhere on my way...Olympia is very rarely on my way to places....Once I get my birth certificate I can apply for citizenship to the Cherokee Nation so I'll be a registered Native American and I can have dental again!  Free...That takes months to get an initial appointment...after waiting 8-10 months for my application for citizenship processed...great...But I can also get my passport...which also takes a while to process...great...LOL...I've been visiting home for a week now which unfortunately means I have to go back to Idaho now and get a job <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I hate Idaho...At least it's only one more year and I'm going to get my own apartment during winter quarter...Got that to look forward to...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  But today I'm going to Seattle to hang out in my favorite spot and maybe the U-District and this one Asian place in China town...I can say the name but I can't spell it...Ash's choice obviously...Went to Ikea yesterday, it was fun, got some cool stuff on sale...Only spent $30 and got a giant bag of crap <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  Even ate at my favorite restaurant yesterday and got bubble tea...which is odd I tell you...Lychee is an odd flavor....Anyway...I'm done rambling about nothing... Have I mentioned that I have just about every Flight of the Conchords song stuck in my head?   <br /><br />Oh pretty prince of parties where do you get your clothes?  They're made of snow, pretty party clothes crocheted of snow...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm now officially done with school for the summer.  I spent almost 9 hours in the studio today mixing, remixing, and mastering one of my classmate's projects with them.  I LOVE mixing so much.  They're actually not bad songs either.  Little bit of Christian action going on, but not even enough to irritate me...I hate Christian bands too...I mixed 2 out of 3 songs pretty much by myself.  I'm pretty fast too, and I personally think my mixes sound pretty damn good <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  On an unhappy note, I have to find a job soon.  I may spend a week at home first visiting my mom and aunt and uncle and friends first though.  My aunt said she'd pay for the gas.  I wish I could just live with my mom for the summer and find a job there, but staying in Coeur d'Alene for the summer is the more responsible thing to do <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I hate being responsible...Well I'm going to pass out soon so I'm going to drink some ginger ale and chill for a while.  Maybe watch some CSI...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've recently been obsessed with this song by The Flaming Lips lately so I thought I'd share...it's been stuck in my head since I heard them play it live at Sasquatch...<br /><br /><br />POMPEII AM GÃTTERDÃMMERUNG<br />A galloping Godhead melody (reminiscent of the German National Anthem) telling a vague story of a young couple planning their suicide. They live in a place where there are volcanoes erupting and they are going to take the train up the mountain and jump into the flowing lava as a symbolic sacrifice of their restricted love. The triumphant quality of the arrangement suggests that, just before they obliterate themselves, they realize that to make such a decision, to destroy yourself, is really just a point of internal motivation leading to outward action. And, if they could do something as extreme as annihilating themselves, why couldn't they just try to change the circumstances that have limited them?.... Action is all we have.... Worth mentioning is that this is Steven's first lead vocal on a Flaming Lips track...<br /><br />...from The Flaming Lips website...<br /><br />Lyrics...<br /><br />Running to the station holding hands<br />Now the volcano is flowing red<br />Something there will change us into sand<br /><br />Now we'll be forever holding hands<br />Lava and tephra will form our bed<br />Now the royal flames of Pompeii bless<br />All our senses...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Totally fucking awesome...anyway...almost time for finals.  I'm way behind on my projects in my pro tools class...I'm broke...I have to find a job...I'm exhausted and no matter how much I sleep nothing seems to change that...I haven't been sleeping well...The other night I dreamed I shit myself and woke up abruptly thinking it really happened...That's what it's been like lately...So goodnight all...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OK, don't everyone die of shock but....I'M CLEANING MY ROOM!!!  I even framed a couple of my posters...badly...they're crooked and falling in the frame and there's like flaky stuff from the backing on the white matting...but I don't give a shit!  I've already injured myself in the effort so this project can kiss my ass for at least another 6 months...At least they're up straight and even on the first try!  I've also rearranged a bit so you can now walk in my room...I know amazing...I am back to using a piano bench as a computer chair though...Needs a cushion badly...So I went to Sasquatch music festival last weekend.  Saw Modest Mouse, R.E.M., Flight of the Conchords, and The Flaming Lips...All totally AWESOME!!!  But I'm still fucking exhausted.  I took my sister with me, first concert for her.  She got the full experience of the Gorge...Hot, thirsty, smashed against 10s of thousands of people, contact high, and there were naked women dancing on the stage.  I think I have sufficiently corrupted my baby sister.  We had a "CD Release Party"  at school for all the demo projects my class did.  The guy I used to sit next to, David, has a totally awesome band.   I can't wait for him to get totally done recording so he can give me a copy of his stuff.  He has a myspace for his band but it just has cut up versions of 2 songs on there.  His band is Future Relics...  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/futurerelics">[link]</a> if you want to listen...  I have to start looking for a job <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Being a fruit stand slave doesn't pay well...MJ talked to this guy who has something to do with a radio station down town Coeur d'Alene and got his number, said they're always looking for interns so I'll look into that...Finals are next week...Hurray...That was only half sarcastic, because finals mean I have one year of college done.  That means I only have one more year in this shitty place.  I plan on getting an apartment in town after Christmas break next year...Screw driving that far in the snow everyday again...But it's going to be so hot very soon that I'll almost wish for the snow.  At the moment it's on its way to being so hot that I wish the lake wasn't so cold you would die of hypothermia if you swam in it...It's also flooded very badly too...Like REALLY flooded...I live a couple miles from it so my house is cool...but a lot of people might end up with soggy living rooms...Anyway...I'm done now...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I had to use a different username that usual to sign up at nin.com to get the pre-sale tickets so when I tried to get tickets, I understandably blanked for about 30 seconds on what my username was.  By the time I got signed in, which took under a minute even with the slight delay, all the pre-sale tickets were already sold out.  THAT SUCKS ASS!!! LIKE GINOURMOUS ASS!!! LIKE NOT EVEN URANUS  FUCKING JUPITER ASS!!!  I guess I had better be quicker this Saturday when they go on sale to the general public...Wish me luck...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ New NIN WOO WHOOO!!!  The rest of my life lately has not been that great.  Got in a fight with my best friend, we're not friends anymore...I haven't talked to him in over a week.  My Demo CD project was this weekend.  Everything was going well until Saturday afternoon.  By the time our session was over on Saturday I couldn't really breathe too well.  Then it go worse...Then it got better so I showed up to the session last night and it got worse again.  So bad that I had to have my aunt and cousin come drive me and my car home because I was about to pass out from lack of oxygen...Nauseous, dizzy, light headed, headache, hot and cold, shaking.  BAD.  So I'm going to the doctor now.  All I really want in my life right now is peace with everyone, and to be able to breathe again.<br /><br /><br />===========================================<br /><br />I went to the Doctor.  They gave me lots of pills and inhalers and said I should be feeling better by tomorrow and can probably go back to school Wednesday...Same day as the pre-sale for NIN tickets in Seattle...hint hint if anyone's going with me they had better get their own ticket because I can't afford to buy one for them anymore...Anyway...SLURPEE TIME!!!<br /><br />AAARRRGGGG!!!! MY SLURPEE TASTES LIKE COTTON CANDY!!!  IT'S JUST LIKE THE NIGHTMARES!!!<br /><br /><br />==========================================<br /><br />Well, I can breathe now more or less, still coughing though.  My nose decided to get in on things now to.  Running, itching, and plenty of sneezing.  It's wonderful...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Nicotine, Valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, alcohol......group sex......COCAINE!!!  Went to Queens of the Stone Age.  Almost didn't make it.  Had a tree lot, was in Idaho, they almost couldn't figure out how to get tickets for Seattle in Idaho, I forgot the tickets and they had to be sent overnight...then I went into the concert without paying for the parking so instead of $7, I now owe $38...There was no re-entry to the concert.  I begged them to let me out and back in, but they wouldn't.  The opening band was lame, but entertaining to watch at the same time.  Big time homo vibe...I got 2 shirts and a hoodie from the show.  TheWhiteFalcon also gave me some Christmas/birthday things.  Yummy asian candy stuffs and a Kurt Cobain thing.  Very nice.  Had Mazatlan with my grandma and tomorrow I'm going to IKEA.  I discovered pomegranate 7up today.  I love pomegranate stuff.  Its like limited edition holiday stuff.  Can't wait to try it.  Well I think I'm going to take some Advil, eat asain candy, drink 7up and pass out.  Great show.  I won't be able to move tomorrow...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't remember his exact words for sure, but when Maynard greeted us at the Tool concert in Spokane I believe he said, "Greetings drunk bastards of Spoketuckey."  Fucking hilarious.  So from now on I'm calling Spokane, Spoketuckey, and I don't have to go back there for a couple weeks.  I came home for my brithday and QOTSA.  Unfortunately I was a dumb ass and kept thinking, "It seems like I'm forgetting something."  I was forgetting something.  THE FUCKING TICKETS!!!  So I left all three of our tickets in Idaho, just great.  But they are being sent today and are guranteeed to arrive by noon tomorrow (the day of the concert) so everything should be cool.  I'm going with Josh (Psysaturn) and The White Falcon.  It should be awesome.  Small venue though so earplugs will be necessary.  I can't handle things as loud as I used to be able to since I've become conscious of protecting my hearing.   Today will include Christmas shopping and being with my uncle on his birthday.  I have to help my mom out with getting presents this year because my grandpa randomly decided my mom has to pay her own car insurance right before Christmas...grandpa is so lovely sometimes...  I'm also sending my mother to Hawaii.  Since she doesn't have any money and she would be miserable there without any I'm also giving her a bunch of spending money too.  Let's just say the tree lot has paid well.  I'm so glad to be done with it.  I'm still really sore and my hands are dry and cracked.  I just DO NOT enjoy the cold.  It feels so warm here after sitting outside in weather thats like 17 degrees but with the windchill factor it feels like 9 degrees.  Here it was 48 degrees last time I checked.  I keep seeing wet spots on the road from rain and I think it could be ice, then I remember its too warm here.  Its so nice to not have to worry about snow for a couple weeks.  Well I'm going to get dressed and forage for food and things like that.  Maybe go see my grandma and take her to lunch or somehing.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sooooo....Last final today, just my mixdown left. Today when I got to the end of the test I totally blanked.  The rest of the test was easy, multiple choice and true/false questions.  It was like 1.  What is the Matrix Sequencer?  A) A movie starring Keanu Reeves B) something that almost makes sense...C) the correct answer...  But when I came to the part where I had to think of the answer myself and write it down I blanked.  I ended up halfway making up some kind of educated guess and then writing "Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, BOOM!!! Leonard Bernstein...Getting crazy with the cheeze wiz."  Yes, thats how I answered a question on a FINAL...Not good, but I did really well on the rest I think so I'll be fine...The one yesterday though.  If I get through that class OK it will be a miracle.  I hate that guy.  Asking us questions about things he mention once briefly and he expects a complex explanation of it.  Bastard...  The mixdown will be difficult tomorrow but at least I get a list of things I need to do in case I blank.  I just have to remember how to carry out these things.  Like cleaning the heads, loading the tape, getting the signal to where it should be, patching in a compressor and or effects...  Lots to remember...  But at least I get to go see Queens of the Stone Age!  Ah, QOTSA.  Anyway, people to talk to, food to go fetch!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just realized that I've gotten over 2,000 page views now.  YAY!  So guess what tomorrow is.  TOOL!!!  YEAH!!!  WHOO HOO TOOL!!!  OK I'm done.  I was really depressed when I found out that Queens of the Stone Age would be in Seattle at a time that I could not possibly be there because of the tree stand.  But then I found out that Tool is actually coming to Spokane for some strange reason.  Almost makes up for it.  I'm going to see Tool with a friend from school.  MJ has to stay at the tree lot so I needed someone, anyone to go with me and Sean agreed so I go with him.  The Golden Compass comes out in theaters tomorrow too.  The Golden Compass and the rest of that series is one of my favorite series ever.  My list of favorite books goes The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, Perfume by Patrick Suskind, and then His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (which includes The Golden Compass).  So I'll have to go see that one of these days.  Judging by the trailers I've been seeing it seems like they don't stick too close to the story though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I had a Dr. appointment Tuesday.  That was miserable.  They tried to draw blood and even had the needle in multiple veins but for some reason I would not give up any blood.  So the ended up digging around in my arm and now its sore.  Not to mention she was getting freaked out because I was like a zombie or something and wouldn't bleed. When the finally did find a vein that would give up blood it filled 2 vials and just stopped halfway through the 3rd.  Unpleasant.  Anyway, I should get down to the damn tree lot so MJ can have a break.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, September 6th I bought a new red 2007 Honda Fit Sport with 81 miles on it...My car now has about 500 miles on it...I have to go 322 miles more to get back home...So almost 1,000 miles in less than a week...I have a traveling problem...Now that I live in Idaho and go back to visit Western Washington, 6 hours of driving doesn't seem far away...I always end up further away than I plan on going...Not good...I've just been working at my Uncle's fruit stand lately.  I bought a car, a laptop, and a new bed.  The bed I had to sleep on was really high in the air and hard as a rock...I felt like I was like an offering to the gods about to be sacrificed or something...Not good.  Made my back hurt so I bought a softer one...I love my car, it is so nice not to be trapped anywhere anymore.  As for my laptop I'm using it now <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  I start school Sept. 19th...I hope.  They sent me this questionnaire thing because so many people signed up for the program that I did so they don't have room for everyone.  I registered a long time ago so I hope that means I already have a spot...If not...I'm not going to even thing about what will happen if I don't...Have I mentioned that I love my car?  Oddly enough, it was my dream car and I decided fuck it, I'm going to buy whatever I want...So I did!  This isn't mine, but this is what it looks like in case you don't know ----><a href="http://thehondafit.deviantart.com/art/Red-Fit-53240059">[link]</a>  I'm going to be in Washington until Wednesday night, then I'll be heading back to Idaho.  I won't have internet in Idaho until Friday.  I'm distracted by other things now so I'm going to end this...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ One thing you figure out about my family very quickly is that we don't plan anything and we change our minds all the time.  The worst ones like my mom and her cousin Mary Jo change their minds every few minutes to every few seconds depending on the decision being made.  Others like me change their minds less frequently and usually because one of the other ones screwed up our plans by changing their minds.  Like when my cousin decided to email me and say that he might want to move to Oregon instead of moving to Spokane with me.  Since he hasn't emailed me back, he didn't answer the phone when I called, or returned that phone call, its probably safe to assume he chose Oregon.  There's a small chance that he just hasn't decided at all so he's avoiding me, but he's still woken up the paranoia.  I was OK with trusting him this once, now I'm not.  I've known him since he was born and up until a couple years ago we were inseparable.  Even now if I just think about him a little too hard he'll call me (unless hes avoiding me...).  So I know exactly what to expect from him because I know exactly what he's thinking.  I don't know if I want to live with him at all anymore.  My mom reminded me this morning of what happens when he becomes jealous of you or you do something to upset him:  Unfortunate things start happening to you and/or your possessions.  These unfortunate occurrences seem like accidents, or just bad luck.  If you know my cousin, you know they are not accidents or bad luck, that they are in fact his way of getting back at you while appearing to be sweet and innocent.  That is why I'm seriously considering the suggestion she gave me this morning.  She thinks that I should reconsider living with Mary Jo at first.  It's a long drive from her house to school, but there's hardly any traffic, no hills to worry about in the snow that I wouldn't already have to deal with, and I would have to work as much.  Not having to work as much would give me more time to go that far.  She would probably expect much less from me for rent and stuff than it would be for me to get my own place so I could just pay her all at once with some of the money from my settlement.  I also don't have to worry about unfortunate things happening to my stuff.    I wouldn't have to worry about my roommate not having the other half of the rent or other bills.  I don't have anything really for a house so if I got my own place I would have to by just about everything.  If I lived with Mary Jo I wouldn't have to worry about it yet.  Also, Mary Jo could use the company and the financial help.  She's like one of my extra moms, we've lived together before, and we get along really well.  Mostly its the inconvenience of driving so far early in the morning and her dog waking me up, oh and still having just a tiny room for all my stuff...If it wasn't working out at all I could still get my own place.  Or if I met someone at school that needed a roommate that I trusted I could move in with them anytime I wanted.  Before when Mary Jo and I talked about me going to school and stuff it sounded like she wanted me to live with her for the company if nothing else.  I'll call her in a couple of hours when she should be awake and talk to her about it again...Well I should continue doing laundry.  I just wanted to write everything out so I could consider things a little better.  I'm better at figuring things out if I can see the whole picture and work backwards.  Writing everything down helps me do that.  I guess I am off to fold clothes now...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was fun.  I went to TheWhiteFalcon's house.  We made designs on clothing with bleach.  I made a really cool NIN hoodie with the AIR flag on the back and the equalizer bar thingys along the bottom.  It also has the NIN logo on the front.  Bleach doesn't really stay in one place so my stencils are really only a guideline now.  I have to go over all the edges and make some spaces with a sharpie later...But it turned a really cool gray color, it will be awesome when I go through and touch everything up.  I put the design for it in my scraps.  I did everything but the words and I only put the bars on the back instead of all the way around.  It would have been too hard to make the letters look good, and I already was doing the NIN logo in the dark.  Bleach is kind of an outside thing...  When we were done we played lawn darts in the dark.  We couldn't see the target so we put a stick and a plastic shovel as targets as well.  We still managed to hit it a couple times.  There was a strange bird type animal making funny noises so we started making funny noises.  It was all fun until I stepped in poo, after that we kinda called it a night.  I also picked up my new glasses today.  I didn't wear them most of the time I was making the hoodie though.  Its really hard to get used to new ones sometimes and its really hard this time.  I'm just now starting to be OK with them.  I probably smell very strongly of bleach, but I'm now immune to it...Sadly I'm now up to 799 files in my NIN folder...I think I will go cook some food and watch a movie before I have the urge to collect more pictures...I almost forgot the school is giving me even more trouble with my financial aid stuff.  It is so lame.  They are so incompetent...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I had surgery today.  It went good.  They didn't even knock me out.  Just numbed my arm and sent me to la la land for a while.  I was talking to them up until the started to cut into me...Took them like 15 minutes to find a vein though.  They can never find ones in my hand for IVs and stuff.  My arm is pretty much numb still so I haven't had to start the percoset yet.  Just be warned that once I do I may be psychotic...I have splint type thing on now that I can take off myself in 2 days or so and then the 30th I have a post op appointment.  After that I'm done.  If something is still wrong well then there's nothing that can be done about it.  That's all for now. Oh Oh, I almost forgot.  They had a radio going in the operating room and just before I kinda blanked out it was playing the song from Harold and Kumar that they were singing to in the posers truck...Break free from the chains....LOL<br />
<br />
...............................................................................................<br />
<br />
Well I took the splint off myself today.  My scissors are so lame they wouldn't even cut it off, so I had to tear it bit by bit.  It looks pretty nasty but my hand and wrist are pretty much functioning normally.  Just a few motions that cause minimal pain.  It never started to hurt either.  I've only taken 2 or 3 of my pain pills and I only took those in case I woke up hurting. Never did so that whole prescription was a waste.  Now I'm just debating whether or not I should find a bandaid for the place where the incision is.  It has one stitch and looks really nasty.  It would be less for my sake and more for my mothers.  She cut her finger once and almost fainted because of the blood.  This isn't bleeding but it might make her puke <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  It doesn't bother me though, I would probably remove the stitch myself later if I had some scissors that would work!  I'm so happy I can itch all I want now.  I dunno what I'm going to do today, but I'm going to take a shower now just in case there is something to do...I should make a bracelet or something out of the screw they took out of my wrist <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> It is hollow...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I am about to pass out.  Josh kept me hostage at his house for a while and every time I'd pass out he'd throw peanuts at me.  He eventually decided to take me home though.  He lives 2.5 miles from my house, it took him 2 minutes to take me home.  How fast was Josh driving?  You do the math, I fell asleep standing up for about 30 seconds.  I now have 1,000 pageviews!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  I have surgery Tuesday, yay me.  The school finally recognized that I turned in all my paperwork for financial aid.  I should get a settlement soon.  I will eventually get new glasses.  My cousin that lives in Alaska is visiting.  I neet to go now...<br />
<br />
I forgot to add that Josh and I went to see Evan Almighty.  It was pretty good.  Commandment XI Thou shalt do the dance...Steve Carell is kinda hot...OK I'm done now...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was fun.  I woke up today and sat around a bit until I got in the mood to dance.  Then I danced so violently that I fell onto my bed.  It was weird.  I was like head banging in a clockwise motion and shaking my ass in a counter-clockwise motion and lost my balance.  Fun though.  Little of The Doors, Eagles of Death Metal.  Sang a bit.  Fun stuff.  Went to the store for my mom.  Then Josh/Psysaturn came over and we went to TheWhiteFalcon's house.  She fed us crazy Korean food, which is funny because she's Japanese and Jewish.  Josh and I are both picky eaters and we still liked everything she fed us.  Pickled cabbage in hot sauce dumplings...and popcicle things that look like frozen condoms...Yes, that's what I meant to say...  She even gave us some for the road <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Then we went to Josh's house to watch V for Vendetta.  Tomorrow we're going onto the military base, which is slightly creepy but it's something to do.  I have my pre-op appointment Wednesday and my eye appointment Thursday.  I finally get to have a current prescription for the first time in like 6 years.  YAY ME!  I'll finally be able to see in a couple weeks when my new glasses come in.  I hope I can find some similar to the ones I have now.  Although I'm not looking forward to having my pupils dialated...I'm light sensitive as it is...I'm like a vampire.  I've gotten up at 5:30 PM for a while now...Well, I'm gonna make a chicken samich on a dinner roll and put in a movie before going to bed. - - - On a side note I can't get a few songs out of my head.  One of them being So Easy by Eagles of Death Metal.  I just love this song.  The others not so much.  When I'm not thinking about anything  I suddenly hear the Numa Numa song in my head and over it I hear Get Low.  Just the part where they go, "skeet skeet motherfucker, skeet skeet goddamn."  I blame Josh totally for that one.  Fucked up.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OK, today I woke up, took a shower and then left the house with Josh (Psysaturn).  This was about what, 3pm maybe.  I just got home at like a quarter after 5...am...  We went to a bunch of different stores.  A few for a specific kind of eraser and then to see if we could find a store that sold Macs.  We wanted to see if we could sucessfully use a mac without making it freeze.  We haven't succeeded before.  We watched a few movies and then moved on to Warcraft III.  I suck so bad.  I don't think you could be any worse at a game than I am at that, except maybe for me when I play Halo...  Lol...I blame it on lag and my right thumb not working correctly.  So yeah.  We're probably going to try to get up at a reasonable hour on Saturday and go to the Fremont Fair in Seattle.  Naked bike races, parade, celebration of a pagan holiday.  That sort of fun stuff.  Of course fair type food.  I especailly want a deep-fried-Americanized version of a Russian food...Piroshky, if that's how you spell it...  We also continued a few philosophical discussions we've been having.  Such as Rock, Paper, Scissors should be changed to the That's 70's show version of the game, Nuclear Bomb, Cockroach, Foot.  Makes more sense.  Paper doesn't always have to beat rock, and depending on the scissors it may or may not defeat paper depending on the paper.  Rock may not be able to beat some scissors for that matter either...Then there were my ideas for stamps on dA that I thought up when I was half asleep sitting on the toilet.  Ideas I have there need to be recorded, as do our conversations in the car.  Like the other day I thought there should be  a stamp made that shows the wicked witch of the west and then says, "I'd be such a slut if I were pretty."  Or something to that affect.  Oh, we also concluded that vampires are made of phospherous because they both explode in sunlight.  A stamp for that too later.  I also want a stamp that has a picture of Edward Norton dressed as Smoochy the rhino holding the dick cookie and it says IT'S A ROCKET-SHIP under it.  From the movie Death To Smoochy.  It's a favorite of mine.  I really like Robin Williams and Edward Norton and it even has John Stewart <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  Anyway, I should go to sleep because its now almost 6am.  The sun has come up I may turn to dust. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  I love Fremont...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was very interesting.  When I first woke up Psysaturn asked me if I would go with him to South Tacoma to pick up his mom's van from the Honda dealer (it was getting something fixed) and drive his car back to his house.  So I did.  I forgot that 112th doesn't connect to the street I was on that you have to take this other little street that goes right to it.  So after sitting in construction twice because I had to turn around and go back through it I finally get on my way.  Then I hit every redlight, get stuck behind every slow person, and a school bus.  It took me forever because I didn't want to go on the freeway in his car.  Then we went and got ERA VULGARIS from bestbuy.  I got the bonus track and all now.  That was good except there were other CDs I wanted but couln't afford like a Suicidal Tendencies one and an Eagals of Death Metal one, but even that was OK.  Then we went to look for a Stephen King book at the Goodwill.  Somehow because of NIN I want to read The Stand, it would take too long to explain how.  When I got there I didn't find a copy of The Stand, but I did find a new copy of Wolves of the Calla.  A glass of water spilled on mine and it would be fine except there are black marks on it from the faulty dye of the cover, it bothers me.  While I was looking at the books a creepy old man snuck up behind me and started grabbing my hand.  People don't EVER touch me.  I was freaked out.  To make things worse he was wearing one of those comoflauge shirts that say "Ha!  Now You Can't See Me"  or some shit like that.  Yeah...  Creepy as fucking hell.  So we went back to my house so I could eat some of the enchiladas I made last night.  As we were leaving my drunk ass neighbor that I really hate cut the blind corner of the road that leads to my house on his motor cycle and hit Psysaturns car.  He was going down the middle of the road and when he saw us he swerved into OUR LANE.  So Psysaturn had to swerve into his lane and we still his the bastard.  Then he had the nerve to blame Psysaturn.  Saying how he's told him 3 times to go slower on our road.  1.  Psysaturn was driving correctly for once in his life.  Going the speed limit on the correct side of the road and everything 2.  It's not his business to tell my company anything 3.  He's only mentioned going slower once.  Then he was threatening Psysaturn.  That bastard doesn't understand that I hate him and I was pretty pissed off.  I might be slightly handicapped right now because of my wrist, but I'm not stupid.  I could kick HIS ass if I wanted to, and I know that Psysaturn could even if I couldn't.  I don't like to get angry because when I do, that's it.  There's no fuse.  My eyes turn red (the blue part, not the white) and I sometimes black out and do shit I regret.  It takes a lot to get me to that point, and before that point I don't really get mad.  Sure I'll get pissed at my sister, or politics and things that aggrivate me, but truely angry, rarely.  So that was stressful.  Then we went to Albertson's and got soda and went to Psysaturn's house and watched Lord of War.  So That was my day.  Oh, I hate my neighbor to begin with because of his motorcycle that is now trashed.  He's fine.  But that damn motorcycle is gone.  He starts it everyday sometimes multiple times and doesn't go anywhere.   That shakes my whole fucking house, usually when I'm sleeping.  Nothing pisses me off more than being woken up when I'm sleeping.  I'm kind of an insomniac.  When I do sleep, you just don't fucking wake me up.  Not to mention I don't like the sound of motorcycles when they're not rattling the wall I'm snuggled up against.  I hate any useless loud noise.  I don't like people who talk to much.  I don't like TV.  I don't like anything that interferes with my sleep or especially my music.  Music is everything to me.  Fuck with that and I will kill you.  OK my rant is officially done. Now for happy things.  Such as:<br />
<br />
NEW NINE INCH NAILS MULTI-TRACKS TO DOWNLOAD YAY!!!  OK, so I haven't done anything with the last ones yet, but my software is too crappy.  My trial version will only allow 10 tracks when Capital G has 17.  So I'm waiting for better software.  As I've mentioned before it is a dream of mine to mix NIN songs myself.  There's a small list of things I must do before I can die happy and that's one of the things on it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  So now I'll have Vessel, The Begining of the End and God Given too!!!  Now I just have to get over that nightmare about being in a public shower with a Catholic priest who was singing God Given like a hymm....  Oh, I had another Trent Reznor picture gathering binge.  Whilst on that binge, I went on a Trent Reznor interview watching binge.  His speaking voice is now permanently burned into my head.  I don't remember faces, I remember voices.  I'll only watch the TV long enough to connect voices to faces then... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I went to Spokane and applied to Spokane Falls Community College, it seemed alright.  I have other choices but this is the only one that really makes sense.  If I live in Spokane and go to school in Spokane I can afford to have my own apartment not to far from the school and not worry about people bitching about my music.  Well, maybe the neighbors...but I don't normally turn it up loud enough to bother the neighbors anyway.  I live in a duplex now and the neighbors have never said anything and we never hear them.  What I'd really like is to rent a tiny house and have a drum set <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  I can't have that at home, my mother and sister would kill me in my sleep... I obviously found an internet connection at my cousin's house to leech.  It's slow, but better than nothing.  I don't know how or when I'm getting home though.  I was going to have to come back to help my cousin out when she had back surgery, but she found out that she's pregnant and can't have back surgery anymore.  What's worse for her is that they did something like and x-ray and they're worried that they may have hurt the baby.  That would mean she would have to have another abortion and that would be awful for her to have to go through again.  But at least things seem to be going better for me.  I'm really early for all the deadlines here so I shouldn't have any problems getting college paid for.  I did make one bad decision today though, I ordered a Black Raspberry shake at Zips because they only have Zips here and they're really really yummy.  The bad thing is that I'm lactose intolerant and my milkshake is making me really sick now and I haven't even finished it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Well that's all for now.  I'm just dealing with being 300 miles away from home knowing that I'm going to have to come back here in a few months and then live here for 2 years.  The trees are different here.  They're not as pretty and it snows a lot.  I've never even tried to drive in the snow.  I might be walking a lot this winter. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Weird shit be goin' on today.  Me and my mother have been arguing, that never happens.  Mostly about school.  Since I can't get my money in time all my plans went to hell.  So we've been arguing about what I'm gonna do now.  I thought until today that you could only go to school for audio engineering in the state of Washington at Shoreline Community College (just north of Seattle) and The Art Institute of Seattle (which is lame and overpriced) both cause a delima because I have no money, no car, and no job, so living in Seattle just is not feasable.  Just can't do it.  But as I was looking to fill out paperwork to go to Pierce College in Puyallup, where I live, I found a link to Spokane Falls Community College.  The only college in Eastern Washington that offers a course in audio engineering.  This is really handy because my relatives I was going to go stay with for a month and then changed my mind, and then changed my mind back live in Coer d'Alene.  Coer d'Alene, Idaho is closer to Spokane than Puyallup is to Seattle, and there's no traffic.  Also rent is about half as much in Eastern Washington, and there are lots of jobs for people my age and going to school.  Even without a car I could get a job and live in Spokane and go to school.  But I won't even have to do that for long if this works out because I'll eventually get my settlement and have a car.  Yay me more options!  But that means moving back to Eastern Washington.  Spokane is just past the desert and becoming trees again but it has more pronounced seasons than this area does.  It VERY HOT in summer and it snows a lot in winter.  Here it gets to 100 degrees on the hottest day of summer and well snows once in November usually, this year was a freak year and it snowed a couple times.  At the same time all this stuff is happening I decide to call my cousin who has been trying to get a hold of me.  We've been discussing me coming to visit him and he wanted to know if I wanted to go to Spokane with him for a job interview.  He might be moving to Spokane too.  He's kinda psycho, but we've been best friends since we were babies.  He scares the shit out of me sometimes and we don't really get along anymore, but there's still a bond you know?  I still need to check some stuff out, but I could be moving to Spokane for the next 2 years.  I'm glad things have started to work out a little better today because I was starting to feel like I should have written the song Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies...<br />
<br />
Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to.<br />
I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to.<br />
It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out<br />
Everything I do and everything I try never turns out<br />
It's like I need time to figure these things out<br />
But there's always someone there going<br />
<br />
Hey Mike:<br />
You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately.<br />
You know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better<br />
<br />
And I go:<br />
No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work by myself.<br />
<br />
And they go:<br />
Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it.<br />
<br />
And I go:<br />
No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside.<br />
<br />
So you're gonna be institutionalized<br />
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes<br />
You won't have any say<br />
They'll brainwash you until you see their way.<br />
<br />
I'm not crazy - institutionalized<br />
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized<br />
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized<br />
<br />
They stuck me in an institution<br />
Said it was the only solution<br />
To give me the needed professional help<br />
To protect me from the enemy, myself<br />
<br />
I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything<br />
But then again I was thinking about nothing<br />
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name<br />
And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!<br />
And I go:<br />
What, what's the matter<br />
And she goes:<br />
What's the matter with you?<br />
I go:<br />
There's nothing-wrong mom.<br />
And she goes:<br />
Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!<br />
And I go:<br />
No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi.<br />
And she goes:<br />
NO you're on drugs!<br />
I go:<br />
Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.<br />
She goes:<br />
No you're not thinking, you're on d... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How can I be screwed and unscrewed at the same time you ask?  Well I'll tell you.  I want to the Dr. again for my wrist/thumb and he told me what I pretty much knew all along.  My thumb doesn't work right because of the screw they put in to fix my wrist.  So if it isn't working out still by June 1st, which it won't be, I get to have surgery again to have the screw removed at the end of July!  Yay, more Dr. bills to eat up my settlement money.  Oh, and that means I probably won't get ANY money until late September at the earliest.  I'm fucking screwed, because I'm going to be unscrewed, get it?  No money means no car, no paying rent for an apartment in Seattle or Shoreline so I can go to school up there, which in turn means probably no college for me another year.  There are only two schools that have the audio engineering program in this state, Shoreline and Art Institute of Seattle.  Wouldn't go to the Art Institute of Seattle if they paid me too, much less over pay them to go there.  Even if I do get financial aid I can't get there from here.  Especially with no car.  It would take 3 hours to ride the bus to Shoreline, I've done it before.  The bus stops running early too, so even if I got there in time for anything, there'd be no way back.  Just fucking sucks.  My mom is going to talk to the lawyers and see if there is any way I can get more money since I was a passenger, but I'm not optimistic.  What the fuck did I do to deserve such shitty luck?  I can't remember doing anything to deserve this.  Oh, and my Year Zero hasn't shown up yet.  That means it probably won't today and I'm not optimistic that it will show up later either.  This all just sucks.  My life really sucks right now.  Oh, and when I don't fix my hair I look like Bam Margera to make things fucking worse.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So here's the story.  Last year about 10pm on April 1st my mother and I were leaving my aunt's house in Federal Way to go home.  We were stopped at an intersection, we were the only people in line at the left turn lane.  A drunk driver in a parking lot backed into someone and decided to run away from the scene.  He turned left over a median and into the left turn lane opposite of us.  He didn't stop.  He instead continued to accelerate and hit us head on pushing our car back 100 feet or something like that.  He his us going about 40 miles per hour.  What probably save us is he blew his tire probably going over the median.  He totally wrecked my mom's brand new car, the only new car she has ever owned.  My mother's airbag didn't deploy correctly and her sturnum was broken on the steering wheel.  My airbag did deploy correctly and broke my right wrist.  Unfortunately the guy that hit us didn't have insurance, but fortunately my grandpa (who co-signed for the car) had full coverage on us.  My mom's injury healed well, it doesn't give her problems unless she lifts too much weight at the gym.  My wrist still doesn't work correctly and my thumb almost doesn't work at all.  I had a splint for a week that was too tight when they put it on, and I told them because they asked if it was too tight.  They didn't fix it, I had to go back into the emergency room to have it loosened the next night.  That caused about 3 times the pain that was necessary.  Then they put a more permanent splint on for 2 more weeks because it was still too swollen for a cast.  After they cut that off they put a cast on that was big and clunky and I had to hold onto it.  So I had to come back in the same day and have new one put on.  Messing with it that much causes extreme pain.  After I had the cast on 3 weeks I got to move onto having a brace on for 2 weeks I think.  I went into the pit to see Queens of the Stone Age with a technically still broken wrist and almost nothing to protect it.  Is that stupidiy or loyalty?  Then after months and months it still never seemed to heal right so I went back into the doctor and they did x-rays and told me to come back in like next week or in a couple days or something like that.  When I came back in they told me that my wrist still had a hairline fracture.  In other words my wrist was still broken and if it didn't heal on its own in a month or so I should have surgery to put a "small" screw  in to force the bone together so it will heal.  It wouldn't heal before because of fluid in the way.  I went back in a few days before surgery was scheduled to see if it progressed enough that I could cancel the surgery.  I didn't want to quit my job so when it looked a tiny bit better I had them cancel the surgery.  They replaced me at work anyway and pretty much forced me to quit anyway.  After another month of pain I decided fuck it put the screw in.  So January 27th I believe, I had the "small" scew put in my wrist.  In order to put the scew in they had to move some tendons.  That irritated them.  Now my thumb doesn't work, and when it does I can feel the tendon move over the head of the screw and it pops and I scream.  Not to mention because of scar tissue my wrist doesn't bend the same anymore.  Worse than before the surgery I think.  I think the bone has healed because I can lift things and support myself with it as long as I'm not bending it too far the way it doesn't want to go.  But most importantly my thumb doesn't fucking work still.  After over a year my right had does not work correctly.  Therefore once my thumb does work correctly and I'm released by the doctors I will most likely get the full $50,000 that my grandpa had us insured for.  I also think that the medical bills will be covered by another part of the insurance.  Then I have to pay a third of that to the lawyers, which sucks ass because that's $16,666 for nothing.  They have the case pretty much made for them and they have not suffered.  So that leaves me with possibly $33,334.  But I'm already stressed about how I'm going to spend it.  I need a car.  I gave my car to my mom's ex-husband because if I didn't he would have been homeless, jobless, and carless.  If he were to be all of those things he would never get a job and he would never pay my mom child support for my sister leaving us even poorer than we already are.  After the car I have to go to college.  I'm poor enough that the government should be willing to pay for my college.  It won't cost that much it's just community college.  After that it's insurance for my car.  After that I have to figure out how I'm going to live in Seattle with no one to be my roommate so I can go to college.  Which will mean spending the settlement money on rent and power and everything until I get a part-time job while I go to school.  If I didn't have to pay the lawyers I would have more than enough to do everything and pay for school myself.  I just hope I don't have to pay for school myself.  Then I... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, my company has been here since last night.  I had to sleep on the couch last night because my mom took my bed so she could give her king size bed up to my aunt and uncle.  My sister's bed was being used by my aunt's mom or she probably would have taken hers.  So I ended up in the living room with my sister and three cousins.  My sister and two cousins on an air matress and my cousin Jacob on the floor because he's a stinky boy.  One of them rolled over and made the matress squeek at 3 am and I woke up after just 2 hours of sleep.  I eventually got to sleep another 3 hours or so in my bed after my mom left for work.  When I woke up my uncle was making my favorite breakfast though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  He's a chef so it tasted a lot better than when I try to make it.  The my sister and two female cousins and I went to Fremont and walked around all day.  I love it there.  My sister was a bitch and went to sit in the car (good riddance) with my younger cousin.  But that left us two oldests to hang out without my sisters self-centered bitching.  We were supposed to do what she wanted to that day but it didn't work out and she sounded excited about going to Fremont so we went.  But when we got there she was a bitch as usual and almost ruined it.  She's the youngest and she was trying to tell every one else how they should act in the shops.  I nearly strangled her.  But we did lots of stuff that was fun.  The most fun I've had in a LONG time.  They want to go see a movie tonight but I'm too tired and I want to save something fun to do for when they leave.  Thats all....Oh, wait.  I almost forgot.  It was sunny and got to like 79 degrees today.  Kind of a nice change from the normal Seattle weather.  I do love the rain though.  But it's only early April, so it's a little bit out of season.  Ok...  I'm really done now....<br /><br /> ]]></description>
