My harddrive for my laptop died. Oh well, at least it lasted this long. And it isn't too expensive to replace. But the new one doesn't come until Wednesday. And I didn't have any backups, so I shall have to re-install Windows, and EVERYTHING. Woe is me.
current mood: woeful

Christ almighty I've been so busy lately. The days keep flying by and a week ago seems like a month. Woo for spring break in any case. Also woo that I'm apparently not failing any of my classes, yet. Although I'm quite close in a few of them, but I'll fix that. Also...woo for a few other things.

My computer asploded on me this morning and now I keep getting BSOD if I don't boot up in safe mode. It's a general consensus amongst computer-nerd friends that I have a new virus raping me, or at least a new mutation of a virus. Also after hours and hours of continuously running just about every trust-worthy virus/ad/spyware scanner in history, just about every piece of malicious software has been deleted off my system but there's still one process running that still makes it crash after everything boots up, and we can't figure out what it is. Horray me!

When I think about it...2006 sucked. Not completely, but for the most part it still sucked. Oh well, hopefully 2007 is better.
Modern, Cool Nerd
56 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 47% Dork
|
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations!
Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Professional Wrestling
Love & Sexuality
America/Politics
Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST
|

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 99% on nerdiness | | You scored higher than 99% on geekosity | | You scored higher than 99% on dork points |

Am I the only person who hates the entire concept of asking someone what they want for Christmas, or telling other people what you want? I dunno, I guess to me the whole thing about "It's the thought that counts" doesn't mean "Here, tell me what you want and I'll shell out a few bucks", it's supposed to be "We're good enough friends/relatives/coworkers that I know what you'd enjoy and so I'll give it to you as a gift." Times in the past I haven't followed that, I told my parents specifically what I wanted or I asked this or that person what they wanted, but I always feel really cheap when I do it. Oh well.
All of my money is falling into some infinite void somewhere. Maybe the infinite void of insurance / surgery payments / more insurance / gas. There's lots of things I'd enjoy getting for some of my friends that I can't hope to afford right now. But I'll make it up to them someday, I hope.

Spent literally all of Thursday studying math. Spent Thursday night goofin off. Spent all of Friday basically goofing off, even though I planned to study some. Oh well. Also just somehow spend all of today goofing off, and I don't even know how. The whole day's been a blur of me sitting around doing nothing. But I still feel pretty prepared for my math final tomorrow. The goofing off was awesome and gave some much-needed relaxation. The previous studying pretty much answered any real problems I had in the class anyway. Really all I have left to do is memorizing some formulas, which I do best right before the test. So, I'm cool right now. I'm gonna do real well tomorrow. Yup.
Edit: I got a 79 on the final! Ok normally that wouldn't sound so great, but it was basically one of the highest scores in the entire class (sad, right?), and it was enough to guarantee that I pass the class. Hells yeah, bitches.

I pulled into a parking spot at my house earlier. Big whoop, right? There was a car sitting by the curb around my house. Some dude was rummaging around in it or doing god knows what, so I start walking towards my house, passing in front of the car. Suddenly he turns his car on and revs the engine. I start walking a bit faster to get out of his way. While I was still about 5 feet in front of the car though, suddenly it accelerates forward. I mean really fast. I'm still walking and trying to register this fact, and when he's about a foot away he suddenly notices me and brakes so hard that the car squeals and slides foward some, barely avoiding me. My fucking god. Why are people such fucking morons? Is it really that hard to at least look in front of you before pressing the gas pedal to the floor?

I was driving around downtown Ft Lauderdale looking for Revolution, but I couldn't find the damned place. So I pulled into a McDonalds to ask directions. When I got outta my car some dudes standing by the front door asked me if they could use my phone a second. I said sure thing and handed the phone to one guy and chatted up the other. Upon closer inspection I realized that they were completely and totally baked. I asked where the Revolution was and one of them pointed in a general direction and said "Right there, over there. *puff* Yeah man...yeah. Ya'll should go to Riverfront. It's beautiful. *puff* Fuckin...mother fuckin GOVERNMENT fuckin everythin up man! Yeah, Riverfront..it's great.". While this engaging conversation was going on, the other guy was yelling "LARRY! LARRY! LAAAAAARRY!" into my cell phone. After a few minutes of this, he finally hands me my phone back and complains "Man, your phone needs a new phone man! It ain't fuckin working!" Checking my dialed calls, it seems he actually called no one. Or he called someone on my phone list and kept yelling "Larry". If you happened to be one of these people then, you know, sorry.
The moral of the story: marijuana makes for a bad map. Also, Revolution is crap. C'mon, so much stuff goes on there and yet I had to ask some stoners how I could find it. Jesus. Yeah.

It was pretty stormy today. As I was leaving the school and walking to my car it started drizzling somewhat. I love the rain, but I sighed and closed my eyes and looked down at the ground and cursed the fact that water blurs the vision on glasses so much. Then I felt a few raindrops hit my eye lids, and suddenly opened my eyes and remembered that I don't wear glasses anymore. And for the first time since I can ever remember, I looked up at the sky and was clearly able to see the clouds and the vapor trail from a plane taking off and the rain coming down, and it wasn't obstructed in any way. My god. The simple things. I laughed all the way to my car. And that was a pretty far, and awesome, walk.

Did I mention that I was optimistic about my eyes? Cause I'm VERY optimistic. The sight in one eye is now 30/20, and the other eye is 50/20. And they're sposed to still keep getting better. The main problem now is they're really dry and puffy and it still hurts to hell. And it's still hard to read things. Plus driving is a real bitch when your vision is clear one second and the next time you blink everything goes blurry. Ah well, by next week everything should be pretty good. And it only cost me 1,500 dollars! (for one eye, dad's paying for the other, sweet).
I only have to wait 6 months to try enlisting in the military again! Woot!

I got the PRK done.
Basically my eyes hurt to hell and sometimes it's just impossible for me to keep them open. But if I just spend the weekend sleeping then I should be dandy by Tuesday. This morning at the check-up my eyesight was already 60/20 (As opposed to 400/20 before surgery!!) and it's supposed to get better and better everyday. I'm really optimistic. Keep your fingers crossed. And if you have my number then hit me up sometime, cause my visual entertainment won't be much for a while.

Life is going...alright I suppose. Some things could be a lot better, some things are just fine, some things could be a lot worse. Compared to this time last year, I'm definitely a lot happier.

Exactly same thing as last week. Ahh well. I'm gonna spend a month doing eye-moistening stuff. Taking lots of pills and eyedrops everyday, going to a dry eye specialist, the works. Christ. This really sucks balls. I mean really really sucks balls. Doctor's words: "Out of 10,000 patients, she's the first one I've seen with this much trouble." Ball suckish. No one say anything about some non-existent god not wanting this to happen, because he can definitely go suck balls if that's the case.
Balls.

Once again, went in for Lasik today.
Then they said they didn't want to do Lasik, they felt it'd be safer for me to do PRK. PRK is like Lasik except you're left in really fucking crappy eye pain for a week. I don't like the thought of crappy week-long eye pain, but what choice do I have? I said sure, let's go. Once again, the 500 million eyedrops, the really energy-draining Valium, everything is given and we're all good to go. Then, once again, at the last minute, they said they didn't want to do it. This time, because my eyes were drier than they liked. When I couldn't keep myself from crying after hearing that (it was the Valium damnit), they said they'd do a procedure on my tear ducts for free (instead of charging us 300 bucks). Damn it hurt. Now I have threads blocking my ducts, or something, they keep my eyes wetter or some shit like that. And once again, going to try next Thursday. And miss more classes. And more work. Yet again.
It's just not fucking fair, you know? I just want one fucking thing in my life to go right. Just once. Just fucking once. Why is that too much to ask?

Went in for Lasik surgery today.
They gave me some Valium, 500 million eyedrops, told me to wait a few minutes for everything to take effect. Then they came back in and said "Well, your tests are a little strange, and we don't want to do anything to your eyes until we're completely sure. So we're going to consult with some other doctors and see what we do from there."
So, now I either miss classes and more work in order to do this next week, or they tell me that they don't want to risk it until I'm 21. Fuck. Fuck fuck. God damnit, why is nothing working out the way I want it to. People keep raising my hopes and then telling me I'm fucked at the last minute. What the fuck. God damnit. I'm wasted on Valium and I'm still pissed off like this. Just imagine my rage when this shit wears off. Fuck.

This Wednesday, at 3, is an appointment for me to get the thorough eye-check to see if I qualify for Lasik. I don't think I have any of the eye diseases or problems that disqualify you, but I'm really keeping my fingers crossed. If I can't do this, I think I'm pretty much stuck at a dead-end. Don't know, guess we'll see.
I got Civ 4 in the mail today, and sometime soon will be getting the replacement for my wireless mouse so I can play it well. So all is neat and good in the gaming world.

Can't get any good sleep lately. I keep having really crazy dreams, a bunch in one night, every night. It's actually getting to the point where I'm considering sleeping pills for the dreamless sleep aspect. Or maybe a good mallet to the head.
In other news, I have a really cool friend, who also happens to be an ex-Marine. I explained my military situation to him and he took it upon himself to call my recruiter (!) and some of his old recruiter pals to help, to see what I can do next. So far, we're still waiting on some answers...but already it's much farther than I could've gotten by myself, with no one to talk to except a recruiter who didn't know anything himself. It's just really neat.
We're going to DisneyQuest on Saturday. It's gonna be awesome. Who wants to come, bitches?!

My military waivers were disapproved.
My only option now is Lasik surgery.
I don't know what to do or think.

I've driven all over Broward county today, for lots of various crap. Along the way, stopped at a light at an I95 exit, I saw a grungy man walking along the side grass. At first I just groaned, because I'm tired of seeing mooches stroll along highway exits with fake wounds and sob stories and deep pockets. But he started walking closer to my car, holding a cardboard sign, and I just had to laugh.
"Why lie? I need a beer." *flips sign* "Or two."
I have never ever more regretted not having my camera on hand. In fact, I just may try driving back there someday with one and hope he's there again.
Edit: This is tres amusing.
