It's so hard to update during the holidays...


Of course that wouldn't explain why I didn't update during the entire month of September.

I guess this means I must tell the truth about the situation...

I live two different lives. It's multiple personality disorder. Every time you see me not updating, it's because I have gone on to live my life as a prostitute, where I am in an abusive relationship with another woman and have been addicted to alcohol and LSD.

The Real Game of Life... It's highly recommended.

Anyway, I lived out a real Slacker's Christmas Miracle on Wednesday. Naturally I had put off my 8 page paper for French class until the day it was due. Unfortunately, an hour before it was due, when I had over 6 pages written, I managed to freeze Microsoft Word. At this point I realized that I hadn't bothered to save any of it, and since it was only Microsoft Word crashing, I couldn't count on my document being recovered.

At this point I lived out my very first stroke.

So I decided to call Alden, who very patiently listened to me freaking out and then told me to try self-crashing my computer by unplugging it while Microsoft Word was still open. I thought this was intelligent, so I e-mailed my prof begging for another chance and then pulled the plug.

Thankfully it worked, recovering most of my document. So I started the grueling process of rewriting the sixth page. Once I got to the quote I was writing when Word first crashed, actually the very same letter of the same word, it froze again.

So, I closed the document, which I had thankfully saved this time, and rewrote the same page again, this time saving as I was going. Then it did it again, on the exact same word. So I did the handy cut and paste and finished the paper, e-mailing it in exactly one minute after it was due. (Later my prof e-mailed me saying she would give me a 2 day extension. How ironic...)

I learned a very important lesson from this experience...

Apparently the combination of C, R and then U on my keyboard causes my Word to crash.

What? Were you expecting me to say something else?

After that, I packed up and took off to Portland for my two week trip over Christmas.

I made it as far as Puyallup and had to turn back... I had forgotten to turn in my availability sheet for work.

Oh that was a fun experience.

I apologize for the multiple traffic laws I disobeyed on the way back...

Oh I got a job by the way. I am going to be a caterer/server person.

Ok everybody laugh.

Now stop.

I said stop!

It's not that funny!

I mean it!

Ok fine I give up...

We shall see how long before I get fired for dropping things...
