First Entry

Hmm so yah, yet another blog. I made the switch to blogspot because it seems a bit less ridiculous than livedrama, so that's always good. Plus its linked to my google account so SCORE.

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and I've been thinking about rebooting this whole thing for a while. So being myself, 2am lying in bed smelling of fry oil and gasoline seems like a perfect time to do so. Hopefully I will keep it up, if not, ehh just taking up more space on zie internets.

So, here go some quick bullit points on my life so far, ranked emo to interesting.
If you hate emo rants skip to the next italic text:

-Lost 90% of my friends a month or so ago. Still recovering from that, there's nothing in this world weirder than loosing everyone you've ever trusted and cared about in one fell swoop.

-Gained a few new friends, started hanging out with people I haven't in years. Its almost good I lost all my old gang, because its forced me to review who I am, and also restart some relationships with people I haven't talked to in a long time. Some really cool, really fun people that for the life of me I can't figure out why I didn't hang out with more in the first place.

-I am completely ambivalent (that's the right word... right?) towards girls. I feel that I would like a relationship, but for some unknown reason I just don't try or care at all. I haven't felt a "spark" between me and anyone in almost a year now, and its not like I'm not meeting people. I have, I've met a few girls who I know are into me and I just... don't care. Ehh, probably a side effect of point one up there^.

Fun Stuff:
-While I originally planned to spend the summer in Boston, I wound up coming home. My dad decided to buy some solar panels, and left it up to me to design what they would go on (awesome). The first idea was to put them on an arbor near the pool. It made sense, it was the only part of the yard that got sun all day, and it would also provide some much needed shade for the deck. Unfortunately electric generating panels + pool = electrical inspector says NO. This was of course after I spent almost a month designing and drawing plans for this thing. I had it completely done when we got the no-go.
Whatever.
So now we are ripping down our old garage and building a new one. A 150% bigger one. Using historic post and beam construction.
Awesome.
I seriously couldn't be more in my element. Not only am I getting to design this thing, but I'm also involved in the demolition (my second love) and construction (perhaps my fifth or so love) of it. Also working alongside my dad is freaking amazing. We've had a rough patch these past two years or so, and this is really bringing us close together. Even though mixing a back breaking amount of cement by hand sucks (1600 lbs in each footing, 8 footings), and tearing down a dusty, smelling of cat-piss shed is disgusting, doing it with my dad is awesome. We get along really well. By get along really well I mean that we fight to the death about every decision, but after the battle we go back into having fun (complete opposite of when me and my mom fight, but that's a rant for another day).
In summery: Design + Construction + Dad = Awesome Summer.

-Meh, I should have left that one for last, because its really the best thing happening right now. My current job (major LOLage here) is working at a fry cook at the Orange County Fair. Luckily I get paid cash under the table, so its working out pretty good, but I just found out tonight that they aren't making nearly enough money and are therefore probably pulling out of the fair, leaving me jobless. I cant get a real job because I'm going to Germany in August, and now I have no money to pay off my credit cards with. Originally I was going to make just enough to do it, but I've barely made 200 so far.
Shit.
I'm the typical in-debt college student. Woo hoo.

-Oh yah, I'm going to Germany this summer. My cousin decided to make me her brand-new kids Godfather. Which is awesome, to say the least. Unfortunately the € to $ (I did the symbols because i have special shortcut keys on my keyboard and have never been able to use them before) SUCKS and therefore whatever I give him is going to be about 25% less than what it is to me. Also... I have no job so woo Dave's a bad godfather. I'm also bad at religion so I'm really sucking at this whole thing.
Also, Germany should be fun but I realised the other day that I'm going to be spending 3 weeks sleeping in the SAME ROOM as my whole family. My dad and mom snore a lot. My sister is just... well shes 10 and 10 year olds are weird. It takes me anywhere from 40 minutes to 4 hours to fall asleep at night when its quite and I'm really tired. Trying to race my family to fall asleep before the snore-fest starts is going to take some kind of power I don't have. I need to get drugs. Lots.

So yeah, pointless summery entry. Now that I did that lets see if I keep up with it. There's a bunch more I could write about but I'm probably going to have writers block a lot so I'll save it for then. Besides, I have to fill in all the "about me" garbage in this new thing. I hate trying to be clever in my bio section.


Edit: my spelling is SOO bad. I love spell check. One day I wont use it and everyone can see that I'm most likely legaly retarded. Oh yah, I cant do math in my head either. If I had to be in 2nd grade again I would failllllllll.
