By The Way Kids: There Is No Such Thing As A Silent R.

So apparently, November, December, and January decided to bound and gag me, pull the wool over my eyes, and have me find out that it's been about four months since I last updated anything about my life. At least via the internet.

So better start showin' up now.

To bring one up to speed since October, I am still living with Graham in Euharlee (to the left of Cartersville if you look at a map), so small there is no post office, in Bartow county where a distinct smell trickles into your olfactory as you cross the county border on 75. Where if the weather is nice, the moon is full, and the sky is clear, we just lay out on the lawn and listen to the meth labs blow up and the donkey haw. This is a little piece of southern gothic entertainment.

Gas prices slowly creep up as the stimulus package plunger attempts to dislodge the wad of economic toilet paper plugging up our country, but still manage to be relatively reasonable. Still have not beat Fallout 3 but I do get the urge to play it every day, just not the time. We have been playing Left 4 Dead, though, and that has given me new reasons to shout monosyllabically.

I got a raise in January and am now making more than I have ever made at any job. I am also planning on making a list of high fiber items for my store and that is just one of the many projects I have adhered myself to. I still absolutely love my job and I am getting more proficient at providing informative service as well as just being a good person.

I'm back in school as well! I am taking Political Science, World Literature, Sociology, and World Civilizations. I am pretty much leading two groups for my classes and have rediscovered my abhorence for relying on anybody else to do work for me. After the "life experience" I have obtained, I've learned that most of these college kids are spoiled brats who got the HOPE and went to Kennesaw because they thought it would be easy, all their courses would be bullshit, somebody actually cares about what they have to say, and that nobody needs to pay attention in class. I really want to pull the bitch card and chew people out, but I suppose I can rely on karma to kick their asses and motivate them.

I am planning to take a mini vacation to Athens at the beginning of April to visit and stay with Helen. I need to get out for a bit and I think finally cashing in on my promise to visit is a good idea. I've been making plans with friends from high school as well recently. I think I've reached a point where I really miss people.

Alright, it's two in the damn morning. I need to sleep in order to whine about the world spiraling ass-backwards. Cheers!
