not a bad idea in that it was unbearable, but today was just a long day. i feel like my brain hasn’t taken a break since i woke up this morning–something i’m not exactly used to. i’m used to allowing myself a few hours of zoning out and…

I FINALLY SAW THE MOVIE BABE FROM START TO FINISH. this might sound lame, and actually it is, but it is also something i’ve been working towards since i was 9. i’m not kidding. it was on HBO this weekend, and i watched the whole thing.…

last week at work, some of the network requirements changed in order to have your laptop registered. i forget what exactly changed, but that’s beside the point. the point is: i got kicked off for being non-compliant (except i was), and my…

i was so tempted to take all my CISSP study materials (except the ones that are borrowed) and throw them into a giant pile and light it on fire. until i remembered the little tid bit where i don’t know if i passed yet, so in the event that…

i haven’t felt really, seriously stressed out in… a long time. like since before i graduated from college. it’s been a while. i kind of decided stressing out was doing more harm than good, and talked myself out of it gradually (gradually…

i know i gripe a lot about not being in boone anymore, and how i vaguely hate living down here in charleston. i think part of it is a little homesickness, coupled with the stark realization that i’m not in college anymore, and even if i…

stuff keeps happening. not all bad, not all good, just stuff. my mom came down to visit this weekend. i think she knew i was feeling crappy that brett was going to be gone for 3 weeks. i know she was feeling crappy because she knew her dog…

my laptop finally bit the dust. i was waiting for that to happen any day now, as the hard drive was already failing and a multitude of other things were going wrong (ex: wireless card going dead, overheating). then, yesterday, the…

brett is leaving to go to africa tomorrow for work. and here i am thinking i was done with deployments, done with saying goodbye… not so much. at least it’s less than a month. i can handle less than a month. i knew this would happen to one…

B: when i go to africa, i’m just gonna get a disposable camera to take pictures with. W: that works… B: yea… the only thing is, after i get them developed, i’m gonna have to scan them all and upload them to get them onto my computer W: no,…

*NOTE: this is long, so get comfy. i apologize ahead of time. have you ever been to clients from hell ? whether you just want to know that you’re not the only one dealing with a terrible client, or you want a good laugh, i highly recommend…

brett and i are heading up to NC this weekend. seven devils, to be specific. we both miss the high country, and would like to get the hell out of charleston (the low country) for another weekend before he goes to africa. yes, i said…

i have eliminated soft drinks from my diet almost entirely. i might have one when i’m desperate, but otherwise i quit drinking them sometime this winter, for no particular reason. i guess my dental woes, which were not exactly soda-induced…

brett and i had our first costco adventure last night. by adventure, i mean, we went down every aisle, and i pointed out every item like it was the coolest thing i’d ever seen. “WOULD YOU LIKE A GIANT JAR OF MAYONNAISE? perhaps you want 12…

if i were able to change one thing about myself (there are more than a handful of things i’d like to put on that list, but let’s be realistic here), it would be jealousy. hands down. i’ve noticed it more and more over the last few years…

just in case you’re not an avid xkcd -er, i’m sharing the wealth.

we are leaving this afternoon. we are leaving and driving to mooresville, and i never thought i would be this excited about just going to mooresville, but i am. we’re getting out of our little apartment, and we’re taking loki with us, and…

in between working on websites last night, i was reading articles on digg. cue digg haters/reddit lovers now. anyway, i was reading articles on digg, and by reading the articles i mean perusing the comments (highly entertaining). it got me…

when brett and i first moved in together, i was hesitant. i was totally excited about it, but hesitant. i lived with my ex boyfriend before, on 2 occasions. the first time was nearly a disaster. for a plethora of reasons. some were…

i remember when we used to be inseparable. :lovestruck:

a few months ago (yes, MONTHS) my sunroof broke. i’m not sure how it broke, actually. i rarely close it while i’m driving. meaning i only close it when there is a total downpour–a little rain never hurt anyone. i don’t mind sprinkles. i…

after a nice dinner at bushido last night, brett and i decided to catch a movie. we went to see edge of darkness , which turned out to be the worst decision we could’ve made for the evening. not because it was valentine’s day and the movie…

i’m going to ask you to step into my shoes momentarily. if you are friends with a couple, whose significant other has propositioned you ( and other girls you know of, obviously sexually), and you are around these people frequently, would…

i started off studying for the CISSP in a very unorganized manner–just reading through materials haphazardly, hoping and praying that some of it would stick as i went along. then i came to my senses and realized it is divided into 10…
