Jay Fair, My tech teacher in high school, used to play that AC/DC song all the time in the mornings over the P.A. system in the tech room. It got stuck in my head and I had to download it years ago. OMG! Kelly has the Internet! WOOT! Okay, I’m bored. Oh god, “Change” brings back bad memories of Justin. I wonder if he still has his MSN profile up. I think his username was something like justinbluesteal. OMG…his profile is still active. Well, this one guy I knew that died, his profile was on there for years…it might still be on. Hmm, he’s been in Brazil since August of last year, which means he’ll be back this August. God, could my life get any worse? Motherfuckers. Ah, off to ftp.tripod.com. I love the glory that is FTP. Time to upload fucker.jpg. I seem to remember him being hotter in person, but maybe since he was hot in high school he’s gotten ugly. That would inordinately please me. But there is no justice in this world. I can only hope.

It turns out I have to have Windows XP to work with ASP. I think that’s the type of server-side scripting I’m going to use to design my version of the Triplicate’s website. I can’t seem to find any comparison of the main ones…I guess they’re all the same but have different languages. I’m only using ASP because I’ve seen more websites use it than PHP. Actually it’s more like a tie, but I’m just pretending to have a predilection towards ASP just to sound like I know what I’m doing.

God I love Massive Attack. I’ve got to listen to them next time I’m inebriated. They are the uber-dope shit. OMG OMG OMG OMG Molly’s giving me her old monitor! EEK! When I get my $400 check I’m spending it on the processor, the motherboard, and the RAM. It will probably come after my next paycheck, so I’ll have the hard drive. I don’t think there’s anything missing. The motherboard I’m getting has integrated sound, so I don’t really need the sound card for just setting up the system. That will sure be tricky. Well, I’ll try it myself, then take it to one of the computer shops in town if I can’t master the intrinsic compexities of the BIOS, which I doubt. If I fuck around with it long enough I’ll get it.

I’m IMing Kelly and Dan (her boyfriend). I printed out my computer case and I’m drooling over it. IT COULD GET HERE AS QUICKLY AS FRIDAY!!!! Fuck yeah! I’m so putting my old computer in it, it will look so dope and I’ll just pretend that it’s my new computer. Lol. Some people build their computers from the inside out, I’ve designed mine from the outside in. OMG, if anything shows the grandiose ineptitude of Washington Mutual, it’s this: I’ve been checking my online banking all day, and it still says I have $200. Fucking crazy? Yes. I’m so never trusting that piece of shit any more. Holy crap! It’s 11:35. I love Ghost World. It’s so sad though. I love how she dresses up as a ’70s punk and everybody thinks she’s just trying to be a “rebel” and she’s all “you people are just too stupid!” And the art teacher–classic. If Diane wasn’t such a loon I would associate with her more. I wonder what she thinks of me. She’s always so drastically different from one day to the next. I’m starting to believe one of my friends’ theory that she is bipolar.

God I want that light-up keyboard, that would be so dope! It’s on the website I bought the computer case from. And the light-up mouse is sweet too…although I’m not sure about the fan. A mouse with a fan is really weird. But I might get it just to go with the light-up keyboard. I’d have to look at it again. I’m so getting the keyboard, though. Ah, I must go check and see when my next pay period gets over and begin the countdown.

Gosh, I love OKGO. Must see when next pay period is. Cool! I get paid on the fifteenth. I must work as many hours as possible. Tomorrow when I go in I’m going to ask Mike if there’s anything else I can do besides the archiving, which takes a grand total of five minutes. I love talking with Kelly. She’s “Halo”, I’m blasé:

Halo says: You know Taggart’s seductive ways best, so if Taggart bit Jared on the his shoulder whilst sitting next to him looking at the computer, would that be his way of flirting?
blasé says: um…I’m not sure
Halo says: Keep in mind that it is rumored that Taggart has always had a crush on Jared
blasé says: everything Taggart does revolves around either attention or sex, or a combination of both–which is usually the case
blasé says: they deserve each other
Halo says: ha… that was cold
blasé says: they could spend hours faking a relationship then Jared could back out because he has no emotions and Taggart would just ignore his calls because he’s too busy masturbating.
blasé says: they would be unstoppable–like characters in a Gregg Araki movie, except devoid of any discernible personality

God, this Savage Garden song reminds me of evil Danielle. Well, I just say that. She’s really “Misguided Danielle” but then I would easily get her confused with Daniela. I would call her something else Danielle, but that would be inculpating her. And I don’t want to do that. Eh, fuck it. Fuck these semantic olympics just to avoid the illegal reason we’re not friends any more. Fuck everything. Lol, the word semantic reminds me of something funny at work that I wanted to blog.

This one guy in a letter spelled misinformation “miss information,” and I told it to Jennifer. She laughed, and I think she said something that it deserves an award.

Me: “Yeah, sometimes I feel that I should devise some kind of award system for these semantic abortions.”

Hm, I should check my server space. I wonder if I’m getting close to my limit. I’ve been uploading picture after picture. Eh, fuck it. I’ll check my bandwidth and such when I’m on a computer with high-speed. Shit, it’s 12:00. I’m sick of being asleep on the job. I should get to sleep soon. Mouahahahaha. Soon I will have the One Computer…precious…my precious. I have been enlarging the picture of my new computer–and I was able to decipher an ancient dialect of Nerdian writings around the power button. Roughly translated, it says:

One Computer to rule them all, One Computer to find them, One Computer to bring them all, and in the darkness outperform them.

I wonder what it means. LOL. I will have tantric sex with my new computer. Whoa, how weird–Kelly was all “I love the Elastica song ‘Vaseline’” and right then it came on my mp3 player. Crazy. Hmm, Kelly just sent me a picture of Nicole, Taggart’s ex-girlfriend that he broke up with to pretend to go out with me. She doesn’t seem as inane as I always pictured her. God, something is blasting on the TV, I wonder what it is. FUCKING COCK. It’s an entertaining movie with cute boys. Damn, I’m going to be up all night. Must go. Turning off the computer. Now.

OMG! Ghost World is on IFC in a few minutes! EEK! I love that movie. Well, I just wanted to say two more things that I thought of. One, I saw Anus Face Jordan when I was sitting at the stop light on the college side of the Washington and Northcrest intersection, and he drove down Northcrest like the imbecile he is, wearing the beanie that he took from me. What a loser. The second thing…gosh, I can’t remember it now. And as soon as I hit publish it will occur to me. Damn. I’m hitting publish so I will remember.

I just thought I’d post the lyrics to my current theme song, “Waking Up,” by Elastica:

I’d work very hard,
But I’m lazy
I can’t take the pressure and it’s starting to show,
In my heart
You know how it pains me
A life of leisure is no life you know

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh, I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh, I think you should know
Oh, I think you should go
Make a cup of tea
and put a record on.

I’d work very hard
But I’m lazy
I’ve got a lot of songs but they’re all in my head
I’ll get a guitar
And a lover who pays me
If I can’t be a star I won’t get out of bed

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh I think you should know
Waking up and getting up has never been easy,
Oh I think you should know
Oh I think you should go
Make a cup of tea
and put a record on.

Hello world, I’m bored and listening to ’80s pop. Jeff just IMed me, we’re talking. He’s talking to a cute boy. I wish I was talking to a cute boi. God, Elastica always reminds me of Taggart. It so sucks that I fell in love with Elastica at the same time that I started falling for Taggart. I want to buy an anti-static wrist strap thing to work on my computer with (a very inexpensive thing) but since I was trying to buy it on the Internet, it was all expensive with shipping. I’m going to go to the computer stores around here tomorrow and see if they have one. I’m sure they must–it’s a necessity. I mean, I could just keep touching the case every few minutes to re-ground myself, but that requires effort. And I don’t think we even need to get into the subject of lethargy. It’s only like four dollars, it shouldn’t put me too far off budget.

My new strategy regarding money is to leave a twenty-five dollar margin in my account, i.e. subtract $25 from all the money I have and have that total be my zero for balancing my checkbook. So as of now I have around $75 left. around $50 of that goes to gas, so I really only have around $25 for discretionary spending. around $5 is going for that grounding wrist thing, so I’m left with $20 and unlimited gas (well, at least until my next pay period. This is going to totally suck when I have to start paying my insurance, I’m going to have to spend like $75 a month…and like a shitload when I start my policy…like a hundred and something. Insurance sucks. But having a car so totally rocks. I have no money to get my oil changed this month. Eh, whaddaya gonna do. I use my computer all the time, I only use my car driving back and forth from town.

Mike Ovick was in the Drift office today doing some crap to one of the computers. Of course he wasn’t installing InDesign..that would be doing his job and helping us…but no, he has to go in here solely to run Windows Update on the damn computers. Fuck that. Install fucking InDesign and then fucking run Windows Update.

Oh, everyone was complaining about their checks today–”I got $300 taken out of my check!” I didn’t even make $300…god! I’ll take the check if you guys don’t want it. So ungrateful! But I guess I don’t do their jobs, so I don’t know anything. God I’m tired. I used algebra (the first time ever) to calculate their paychecks from the $300 comment, and I got that they made something like $2,500. May I retiterate: I’ll take their checks if they don’t want them. That would be my computer and then some. I’ve also made another vow, to buy either a CD burner or a light-up keyboard for my new computer with the money I have left over in my account at the end of the pay period. So I’m holding off on the home networking hardware, the light-up keyboard (which I was so tempted to buy today), and the light-up fan mouse. Well, I’m going to go see if there’s anything good on IFC.

The nice lady at the bank waived the fees on my account, yay! And I just bought my new comptuter case! I must post the image.

SWEET! W00T! EEK!
