I really need to read more into the whole pirate thing. I have "Pirates of the Caribbean" stuck in my head when I think of piracy. The "older" idea of pirates. I'm curious as to how they actually are nowadays. I still think it was funny when pirates attacked the British naval ship. Really? Smart move!

Technology can soooo suck!
I have had my laptop for about 4 years...maybe a tad longer than that. Welp! It has decided to die on me. I need a new video card ='( Mind you, i have spent thousands of hours on that beautiful thing, :3 It's a Dell XPS...and, of course, I've played vid games on it =P Newhos...to get the part-refurbished-from Dell, it would cost $499.99 >.>' To get a cheaper one it's at least $300. So...now I just need to save up for a desktop. I've been wanting one, anyways, but this could not have come at a worse financial time! Ah well, that's what I have my best friend, Katy, for xD Between her and her mom, they have at least 6 computers in the house. Soooo...I can definitely get online at pretty much anytime. Well....after kicking a kid off the computer. But I'm an adult, so I rule, right? ^_^
Today is Halloween...and I'm sad b/c I never got to go to a haunted house, nor to any parties. *sniffles* I will live, though! There is always next year, right? I'm planning on being Aeon Flux for Halloween next year. After...I...um...get into better shape....
I hope everyone is doing well. I'm off of work and about to visit with my friend before reading the 3rd book in a 6 book series before going to bed. Then I get to wake up and do laundry! JOY! (sooooo sarcasm!)

Painful Memories
My friend is in from out of town today...he moved to Mississippi to train units for the Army. He trains units so they can train the Iraqui police and the Afghanistan police. He has been to Iraqu twice. I'm mentioning all of this, not because he is just a friend, but because I was doing my reading summary assignment for English class. I read to him the essay by Kandi Tayebi "Warring Memories", and he gave me a few memories and experiences of his own. It makes me feel priveleged, because I know that he did not even talk to his now ex-wife about these things.
Which brings me to a different point alltogether. Sometimes I get irritated because with guys I'm always 'just a friend'...but I also love it because I am told things and joked around with like 'one of the guys'...and get to learn things about them that not many others know. It makes me feel quite special, as silly as that sounds. And they probably know a few things about me that only my two best girl friends know.
Still, it can be frustrating. It's hard while everyone I know is getting married and have been in relationships for long periods of time, and I am still struggling to even have a short term relationship. It's not that I don't want one, or not that I don't get out to meet people...I'm just always viewed as a guy with...umm...a different physical structure.
Ah well! It'll be alright. Something will happen one day =P At least I have everyone's secrets to harbor! ^_^

It's A Beautiful Day!
The sun is out and shining bright! I wish I still had wireless so I could go sit out on my side porch and work on my "personal essay" while feeling the cool breeze. Dang...and I need to make some sweet tea! A customer at work told me that I needed to make Mojitos at home xD Heck, I've never even had a Mint Julip! One day...one day...
I cannot believe it is already October! Next weekend is one of my best friend's bachelorette party! That ought to be interesting..then she gets married October 17th :3 Her and her man have been together a year. I don't know if I could get married after only a year O.o
My favorites about October...the weather starts to cool off (GREAT weather we are having, no?) and, of course, Halloween! =D I love decorating for it, dressing up for it...and haunted houses are awesome! I think I will be able to go to the Ultimatefear one they are having downtown this Sunday. *sighs happily* *^.^*
I do not get scared easily...but for some reason it is amusing to watch other folks get scared. Is that mean? Maybe...just a little...but I don't want to scare people tooooo bad. Saw takes it a bit far..... *Shudders*
