*squee* I do, I do!
I'm already using the background of Iris.

Now I really need to figure out where that little patch of grass I've seen people wearing comes from.


Edit: FINALLY! I figured out what the dang EI I want is. On the Farm. From the Easter 2009 set. Now I just need to find someone who will sell it to me. *want*

I'm awake and vaguely functional again.

Anyone still around?

I am! Me, me, me! Pick me!
*dies*

*picks steel (up)*

So, tell me all about your crazy and zany antics.

Or, don't. :(

All I can picture is steel just passed out with her face in the keyboard. :)

*happily flails* Hooray!
Oh man. Well, first off, on my little vacation, my neighbor took me to talk with Tech about the Masters in Wildlife program, and by the end of everything, I decided I would move back to Lubbock and go to school there, then reapply to vet school after I get my Masters. Thus, a complete life change was planned.
Then, I had decided that I was going to leave Lubbock to come back to my apartment (I had to give my notice, work my last two weeks of work, and pack) on Monday.
My dad convinced me it was a bad idea to leave town on Memorial Day (and he was right), so I postponed it to Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around and I have everything all ready and packed up by noon.
But then my idiot grandfather shows up and stands around in the way and delays me 45 minutes. Still, not a huge deal.
I get out to my car finally and my Dad notices that I have a screw in my tire. *headdesk*
So we take it to the tire place. They are obscenely busy. It takes them 45 minutes just to get to us, and then they say it'll be an hour and a half wait.
So we drop my car off there and go home (because my dad has to leave for work that night and needs a nap).
I decide that I probably won't be able to leave Tuesday night, either, since it was so late by then, but I thought, no biggie, I'll just leave Wednesday morning first thing. Work doesn't start until Thursday afternoon.
We go to pick up my car and one of their idiot kids who drives the cars in and out of the garage has pulled my car up and over one of those curb stop things at the front of parking spots. And this curb stop has four inches of rebar sticking out, which is now caught all up in my engine guard.
After one idiot tries to insinuate that this is somehow my fault, my mother gets totally pissed off. The Assistant Manager *finally* actually apologizes, and he gives us a place to go to to get it fixed, and the tire place is paying for the damages.
We go to the place, though my mom is somewhat uncomfortable with it because she doesn't want us to get screwed over on repairs, and the guy tells us that he can fix it tomorrow morning in about an hour.
So Wednesday morning, we take my car in at 11.
The guy *finally* finishes my car at 5pm. So I end up having to start my eight hour drive home at 6pm. And I have to work today at three.

Edit: Haha, I might as well be. I'm so dang exhausted. It was almost 3 when I got into bed this morning and I slept terribly.

Good lordy. I can't imagine the balls it would take to even try to insinuate that the whole "driving it over the curb" part was your fault when they'd had the car overnight. :)

I am a little bit. Taking a break from doing a quick house clean before the cable man gets here with our new modem. I'm hoping this will make everything better. :)

It was really absurd. And the guy was totally rude.
Thank goodness the manager was decent or I think my mom might have committed homicide. I swear I could see steam coming out of her ears.

@Zumi: I think it will help, for sure. Good internets = happy home.

Yes. I go stir crazy without my interwebs. It's my connection with the world...not to mention how I'm doing school right now. :o

@steel
I can imagine. Mechanics as a population are still stuck in the 1960s mentality of "chicks don't know cars, we can tell them whatever."

@Zoomy
That reminds me of the time that my roommates and I were without internet for two days and called the cable company angrily to complain about it. They sent out a tech and it turned out one of our "friendly" neighbors had unhooked us from the box on the side of the building. :)

Woot, 18 more seeds to go!

Which is hilarious since my grandfather owned an automotive shop (which my mom worked in), and both of my mother's parents used to race.

@Zumi: I know, I'm like that too. Haha. Interweb Addicts, we are.

Dude. This apartment is sad without the girls.

Y'know, with the background ending where it does on your avatar, and the white stockings, it just looks like you don't have any feet. :)

I know. I want to get the On the Farm EI so I can have grass. But until then...I have shoes underneath my floating body.

Let me go see if I have an extra that you can use for a while. :)

You are totally cool.

OH MY GOD I'M DROWNING IN EGGS

I traded them all over and never organized or moved them...first page and a half of my inventory is all friggin eggs.

Haha. I totally know how you feel there. My poor mule has only one actual clothing item, and about a bazillion eggs. It's terrifying to open his inventory.

There you go. Just kick it back to me when you're done with it. :)

I'm going to go put all of those eggs in their own drawer.

Thank you!!! *squee*
Good luck with the egg organizing.

Now that you have a nature-y outdoors-y theme, you should probably switch that hammer out for a shove. :)

Haha. I totally forgot it was there. Too bad there isn't an old timey scroll. I could pretend she was hammer a sign onto the tree.

I'm bored with this avatar, but it turned out nice and I don't have any other ideas. :(

Hrmm. You could maybe use the lightening bolts from the other CI for this month and open the eyes and make him an anime-style fighting warrior.

*stops in*
Don't mind me... I'm just looking for people and trying to get the last couple seeds I need for something... >.>

I was playing around a couple mins ago and I didn't realize how crappy the weather forecast CI was until you stack it up against this months. :)

@Blaze
I'm after about 17 more seeds myself. The gasket machine is super broken, though, so I can't sabotage, and I don't want to activate my power hour until after that. :)
