Well I've been really busy lately with classes, and working on some new web projects and stuff. Been riding as much as I can. I went to Oklahoma as well at one point. I finished up DiRT2, and have been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 lately. It's actually pretty bad ass and not as crappy as I thought it would be haha. I really want to get the new LittleBigPlanet game for my PSP, maybe I bounce out to the store this weekend and grab a copy. I haven't talked to Chris in like 3 months now, it's retarded and I hate it. I miss him so much and he won't even say a single word to me...BOO.

I'm going to try and finish up my CCNA studies this month (December) and then I'll spend like a couple weeks going back over everything and then I'll try taking the exam. I kind of wish Chris would at least talk to me for this so I could learn more and he could set some things up in the lab for me, but I guess maybe he's just really busy with school himself or he just flat out hates me, I'm not sure, SINCE HE WONT TELL ME.

Brian and I are doing well, I can't believe it's been a year, I love him so much hehe. I don't think we're doing anything special for the holidays, just sticking around the house and hanging with family and all. I should get to be more regular about posting to here...I think I'd like to update the core code on SceneJournal within the next couple weeks since there's been a lot of fixes. We'll see though, depends on how much I want to clean up after since I know a billion things will break in doing so.

Not much going on lately. Just been hanging out, riding a whole lot. Been trying to hit up the gym as much as I can. Went a couple parties over the last couple nights. Got retarded and probably did things I don't even want to know about. I really need to get some coding done on Confessh.us. I just haven't really been in the mood to do it and for me to code stuff, I really have to be in the mood or nothing gets done.

Haven't talked to Chris in weeks now. It sucks and I hate it. I try IMing him but he never responds. I miss having a buddy to do lots of things with. I sent him my Chapter 11 CCNA stuff, but he never responded about it. I dunno what his deal is or why he hates me? Cause I wouldn't send nude frontal pics?! I guess. whatever.

Haven't actually really talked to any of my online buddies in a while. Talk to Jason a bunch the other weekend, but that was about it. Oh wellz :( I think there's one more horse show I can get in next weekend if it's not freezing cold haha. This morning it was like 35F at my house...it's about 70ish now. Hehe, I do like the fall though. The Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. I have a feeling I'm going to get my ass kicked again this winter, so I apologize in advance to anyone who needs to converse with me this Winter.

I've been playing a lot of DiRT2 lately. I'm like 80% through the DiRT Tour. It's such a fun game. There's definitely a bunch of frustrating points throughout the game, but I really really love racing! I've also been looking for a new car, you know, seeing as how it's been a year since I've had one. I'm probably going to go to this place where you can tell them what you want and they'll either have one or they'll build it for you. I'll probably get like a 2005ish(??) Subaru WRX. I'm pretty excited, I'll probably go there tomorrow and talk it over with them.

Tonight, er today and tonight, not much happening, I went out riding before. Brian and I had some pancakes for breakfast. Played some XBox this afternoon, and tonight, I think we're just staying in and having a quiet movie night which is perfect.

I've also been talking with a couple of the therapeutic riding and horse rescue places up here, so if I can do a little work for them, because having zero income will kick my ass eventually haha. Anyways, I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

This is going to be a pretty quick and maybe short post, who knows. Brian is coming over in a couple minutes so we can have some BBQ time! Hehe. I dunno if it'll be the last one of the season but surely one of. I love BBQs! :) Such yummy food hehe. I think tonight we're doing some steak and chicken and corn on the cob. I'd love to get some ribs too though.

What else, ever since I quit my job, or I dunno if you'd say that but the business was over, I've been riding like as much as I can. I spent like 12-14 hours out there with the horses, it's so much fun. I go on trail rides that last for hours on end, I just get lost out in the woods, and just enjoy the beautiful state that I live in. I really love living here. Sometimes I even bring Kiara along which she loves!

We created a new social networking site called RocketShipz (http://rocketshipz.com) and it's a bit different then these LJ based websites. Check it out, I'd love to see a couple more people on there and if you don't sign up, pass it along to your friends. :)

I really want to get more into PHP coding, maybe...I really want to work on Confessh.us and get more features and things built-in. Plus PHP is a really neat language. I also need to finish my CCNA studies up. I'm like 4-5 chapters from completing the book and I really need to do it now before I forget everything I've learned. I think tomorrow, I will actually pick it up again and get it done :) Chris will be happy/proud of me :)

I've started playing Wolfenstein since I got my Xbox 360 hacked up to the latest firmware. It's awesome :) vaporizing people is excellent.

Anyways, gotta run now. have a lovely day peepz xoxoxox

 I finished up the last day as an Apple Consultant yesterday. It was a bit sad, but I think this will now give me some real space and time to figure out what the hell I want to do with my life. I think I want to look into something like theraputic riding or something and the local college here offers some classes and stuff. That'd be cool. I've been hitting up the gym I signed up for a bunch lately too. The morning after the first time I went my body was a bit sore haha but it's not that bad anymore. I've also been trying to do swimming and I've definitely been out riding my horses. Time to really get my fatass into shape hehe.

What else...ummm. I need to start a new video game, maybe an RPG since I've not played one of those in FOREVER. I can't even remember the last RPG I played, sad haha. I want to get that new Kingdom Hearts game for my NDS (*starts looking now*)....oh and I want that new Final Fantasy game, can't remmeber the name, Disigia or something, I know that's not the right spelling, but you know what I mean :)

I believe that's about it for now, I had a bit of dramz but I'll write about that in another entry. xoxox

 Today was crazy! I ran a mile in the morning, then went on a two hour trail ride. Then I went mountain biking which wasn't supposed to be too crazy. We ended up going a lot further, like 12 miles hahaha. I was SO dead afterwards. I just came home, Brian had some eats ready fortunately. I took a shower and passed out for like an hour.

Found out the Prestige version of Modern Warfare 2 is going to be $150 which is nice, but then when you realize they've included NVGs for that price, you also realize how shitty they must be hahaha. I would have preferred some figurines or something. Maybe an assault rifle...

So as usual Chris and I played some Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I leveled up a couple times. At level 27 now ^__^! So that was my day. Tomorrow it's back to work, I have a feeling I might be very sore haha.

I think tonight, I might start a new anime series or watch some Japanese movie or something. Hope everyone had a nice day! xoxoxo

Work has been super busy lately. And of course when I get home the last thing I want to do is to sit down at a computer and write in here...haha, sorry little Scribbld, I do love you though hehehe.

So yeah, I've been really happy as of late. I'm doing really well in my class, although it can get a bit frustrating at times. Like this week we had 2 exams, which I wasn't much of a fan of, but I guess it's all part of the college "experience". Busting ass! Haha. I guess I had better get used to it too, considering I'll be upping myself to like 3-4 classes in the fall. At least I hope I can, I just have to make sure they're doing classes which I need/want. I didn't get any Cisco work done this week which made me a bit sad. I've just been so busy with other things. Brian and I have made plans to actually visit Montreal next weekend instead of Massachusetts. Which is awesome, finally we're going. I'm really excited!

I got the new Alexisonfire album and it's pretty good, although I think I like their older stuff more. Same with the new Taking Back Sunday. Oh well, it's not that I hate it, I just like the older stuff more. I think Brian and I and a couple friends are seeing Boys Like Girls next week, which will be awesome.

This upcoming week we've got a buncha appointments scheduled and things to do, so I expect to not be around very much.

Today Brian and I took the AR out and shot a ton, I think we went through about 500-600 rounds which is awesome. She's still performing wonderfully (as she should) hehe. Gotta clean her up in a little. I figured I would just sit down and relax a little. Brian's doing up some BBQ chicken and burgers now, yummmeh!

Tonight, not much going on, I might hop on Xbox for a little bit, if anyone's down for some Call of Duty 4 let me know :)

Hope everyone has a nice weekend and week! <3 xoxox

So I'm just finishing getting ready to head out to the horse show. I can't wait!! This week is going to be awesome, no issues to deal with, no work, just riding and having a good time!!

Watched Resident Evil: Degeneration with ltdan  last night. Definitely awesome! I really liked it, it makes me want to go play Resident Evil games haha. I really need to beat 4 actually, since I barely made it into the game. I am thinking about getting Killzone 1(??) and 2 when I get back. The demo was awesome and the poor PS3 needs some love. That reminds me, I bought Flower like a month ago, but I haven't tried it out yet.

When I get back from the horse show, I'm planning on working on Confessh.us a bunch. There's a few features and things I'd like to work on.

Hopefully when I get back the new logic board and CPU and if I'm lucky the PSU will be here. I am psyched!!

Hope everyone has a nice week. I'll try to toss in a few tweets here and there and maybe a journal entry...

So I've been spending a buncha time geeking out the last couple days. I moved my Shuttle to my desk (which is far better then the corner of the room) and brought up an old PC from below to use as my Skype machine. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the Shuttle and wow. I really really like it. I've been using it exclusively for the last couple days and I am really impressed so far. Mind you, all I am doing is surfing the web, chatting on IM, and doing a bit of work in the Terminal. I definitely would never use this as my main OS, I am far to addicted to OS X and it's wonderfully amazing applications. Linux cannot even compare to it, but it's definitely awesome for what I am using it for.

Today I bought my first ever flash drive, waaay proud of myself. I was in the store and I was like, ok, time to stop being such a loser, I need one of these, since everyone else has one haha. I really have NO idea what I am going to use it for, but at least I can say I have one! It's 8GB, so that's cool.

Did all of my Chapter 6 notes. I was proud of myself. Took me like four hours because not only did I have to take the notes, but I actually really had to understand the material. This chapter was on IP Routing, which is a bit better then the Chapter 3 (subnetting, VLSM) stuff. So now after I finish this entry, I'm going to work on the written lab, which is hopefully not to hard!!

I installed Windows 7 on that other PC, my new Skype box :) Everything went pretty smooth, it found my new 500GB drive, and the install didn't bother me as much as a Windows XP install, more like click install and it does it thing...I liked that. It has tons of pretty wallpapers too, so that made me happy. What didn't make me happy is driver issues, but I guess that's something one should be used to if you're using Windows...always driver issues. This time it's the audio drivers...and I don't know what to do...more like I don't have time to Google it...I am sure it's a simple fix...download some file and it'll work :)

Spent a bunch of time at the barn today, was wicked nice out. I couldn't bring myself to do the CCNA notes, and then do the labs...so I took a break and worked the horses. I'll be gone to Massachusetts all of next week at a horse show, so I've gotta get them ready for that.

Tonight, like I said, finishing (hopefully) the written lab bit of Chapter 6, then I think (if I get this audio drive issue resolved) I'll be playing some Xbox with ltdan . I would like to get back into studying Japanese more routinely since I'll be taking the class in a couple weeks (of which I am VERY excited to do). I love it.

Alright, enough of my spamming, and blabberin'! Have a nice night! <3

Well, I've been doing okay lately. A couple things have come up, not sure their public-entry friendly, but they've definitely got me thinking and wondering about things in my life.

I'd rather not go into all that right now. I've been listening to The Romantic Tragedy's EP for like 2 weeks now, it's so amazing and it always makes me smile. I love it so much! I got another Xbox on Friday I think it was and I've been playing a bunch of CoD4 and GTA4 with ltdan. We definitely have a lot with it, I think it's a lot of fun. I'm glad I got a real copy of GTA, it's a lot of fun screwing up the city with your best friend haha. I finally unlocked Martydom and the M4 Carbine yesterday, so I'm happy about that.

I finished up most of Chapter 5 in my CCNA book yesterday. I just need to finish the review questions tonight before our little study/review session. Then hopefully I can get some COD4 in. I'm addicted to that game, it's terrible.

Chris is getting his XDM today, I can't wait to see it. I want one myself. I'll probably get an another AR15 though, this time the A3.

I played some Battlefield: Heroes the other day. Was actually pretty fun despite being in the most uncomfortable position lol. I'll try to get my PC hooked up to my TV, that'll be a lot better on my back haha.

Today not much is happening, weather is kind of crappy, but whatever, I'm doing good today. I can't wait, 2 OPs this weekend!! Might be getting an M203 for my carbine so that excites me a lot!! Have a wonderful day kids! <333

Haha, my life just doesn't give me a break. If it's not one thing isn't another, and while it's not necessarily a bad thing, I do wish I had a bit more time to just watch a movie or something. Although I guess that's kind of retarded to say because lately I've been playing Xbox with ltdan until I go to bed hahaha. I would like this week to be a bit more laid back so I'm trying to do anything I can to make it happen.

This weekend, I was down in Massachusetts for airsoft, was a lot of fun, our team won 2 rounds and lost one. So I think we did really well. I had an awesome time. On Sunday I went to Boston, did some shopping, met up with some friends for breakfast and then came back home. Last night, I played some Call of Duty 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4 with Chris, we had an awesome time as usual.

Today, I woke up a bit later then normal, got my morning barn chores done, chatted with a couple friends, and then I went for a good run and did some grocery shopping in town. I am hoping to have my real Xbox back soon, I would think this week, hopefully.

Tonight, nothing, I guess I should work on CCNA stuff, but I am not in the mood, I just want to relax for the rest of the day. I'm tired. Maybe I'll just watch some TV or something, X____x

Been really busy the last couple of days working on Confessh.us and it's definitely been a lot of fun, but of course frustrating. Mostly frustrating because I don't really know enough PHP to build an actual functioning ANYTHING with it. But the odd thing is we're really getting a lot done regardless of me not "knowing" PHP. We've actually really only got like 3 large pieces of the website to go, the user page, tagging and something else, but now I've forgotten haha. I am hoping to have a usable site done within the next week or so. Then I'll open it to beta testing! I'm very excited!

So that's pretty much what I spent yesterday doing. I worked on it from when I woke up until about 12-1pm. Then I got mad because I was having so many issues with sessions and stuff, that I was so close to just scrapping the project. ltdan  got mad at me and I think I went off to work on some other web code, Laconica, which is quite cool. But then I was like, I can't let him down, or myself, so I started working on the code again. And we worked until like 12am and got SO much done, to the point where we're only needing like 3 pieces left. He's working on tagging. It's definitely the hardest if not the hardest piece of the whole site haha. I am hoping that he's learning from it too. I've definitely learned a lot during this project. I really like it.

Today, not much is going on, chatted with ltdan this morning. Had some breakfast and then just watched some TV and took a nap. I think I am going to head outside though, I might take a nice walk with the dog, or go play with the horses. I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! Enjoy the last few hours!

Hello everyone! Friday I picked up my copy of Resident Evil 5 and the guide to go along with it. It had some nice artwork and whenever you buy the game and guide together you get a bit of a discount. There's a new guy at my GameStop, he seems to be okay, a little flakey, but seemed nice. So after getting my copy I headed straight home.

I hung out for a little bit, worked on a couple things then finally ltdan came home and we started in on RE5. I think we played till about 2am or so. Hit about Chapter 3 or so and called it a night. I definitely really enjoyed it though!! On Saturday we played from like 10 till 3 or something, then I took a nap and we resumed around 5:30pm until about 2am. Finally finished it up!! :)

I must say it's an awesome game, hit up this link for my full thoughts about the game. I made those pretty images too, which reminds me, I installed Photoshop CS4 Extended finally. I REALLY like it. It's really nice, the UI is very well done, it should have been CS3 instead though. I'll probably be getting some more copies so I can have it on all my machines. It's a really fabulous piece of software!

I shot my AR15 this morning, was a very lot of fun. I love it so much. I put some pictures up on my Flickr page, here's one or 2:


I managed to killed one of the power supplies to an external 250GB drive this weekend. I am pissed cause I don't really know what media was on the drive, so I might start or try to watch a TV show or something and it'll be one of the ones on that drive haha. Fortunately the drive isn't toast or anything, it's just I'll need to find or purchase a new AC adapter. I hate those little pinned ones, they always get bent or snap off. Grrr...

So, I just got back spending pretty much the entire afternoon outside. Kiara has dirty muddy feet and I'm a bit covered in mud too! Heheh I love it, I love this time of the year, it's probably my favorite. Nice, warm sun, cool breeze, mud, the smell of Spring, no bugs, it's beautiful :D

I installed Ubuntu on my netbook, it's very nice, although because of the screen size it was a bit hard to work in some windows, specifically the Compiz settings window. It's very nice now though that I've got Compiz and Emerald going. I love it, so cute :D

Hrmm, I guess that's it for now. I'll probably just grab a snack and watch a movie this afternoon. xoxox

Wow, been pretty busy as usual. This week has flown by which is awesome because Resident Evil 5 comes out tonight at midnight. Anyone going to midnight launch event. My new friend on Twitter is the guy who wrote the guide (I'm pretty sure it's the one under Brady Games) and he's written a bunch of other guides to, Devil May Cry, etc...he's really cool. I'm definitely going to hook up and play some Xbox games with him at some point.

Today, I actually did no work, at work. I ended up working on finding a new wallpaper for my MacBook, and also installed iLeopard and BowTie. really neat applications. I am having a bit of an issue between BowTie and Growl though. It likes to display 2 notifications per song change, a bit annoying. Hopefully it's something I can fix.

Talked to raf  this morning. Seems like he is having an awesome time in AZ which is great.

This is an old entry I forgot to post...it is from this past week though! New entry coming shortly!

Wow, am I happy that it's the weekend. Yesterday, I didn't really do much, I think I left my room maybe a total of 5 times haha. I just sat around, played with web stuff, TeHGeekGirl.com, Photoshop, chatted with friends and watched TV shows and movies. I started watching the second season of Hani Yori Dango. I get so addicted to that stuff that I can't just watch one episode at a time haha. I am on like episode 5 now. It's so good haha. I just wish that Makino would tell Tsukasa how she really felt cause he just came out and told her how she feels. Every time they see each other though she just yells at him and stuff. I really think they should just be together as much as I love Rui, I dunno haha, its hard.

Anyways, I also finally got my hands on this erotic film that I've been trying to get ever since Violet Blue mentioned it on her (now defunct) podcast a couple years ago. I dunno why I didn't get it sooner, I guess I searched for it but came up empty handed so I just forgot about it. It's actually not as great as I thought it was. It's kind of like a little interview and then they have sex, for what reason I don't know haha. I guess it turned me on a little bit, but it was unusual.

So after that, I think I watched a couple more episodes of Hana Yori Dango. It's funny cause I am actually starting to understand some of the words and phrases. I love it. I love Japanese. I'm working on my writing right now. I love writing Japanese, it's so much fun! I've really just got to get it all down, at least hiragana. I'm up to ma, mi, mu, me, mo. So that's...like...30 characters or so. I also need to just work on basic dialog.

I've also been busy with my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate), every time I type in Cisco, I type in Circa, as in Circa Survive haha. Bad habit. But this past week ltdan  and I had our first study/review session and I think I did pretty well. I love how I can actually understand most of this Cisco stuff, it amazes me. But I guess when you love something you will actually put in the time to learn it and hopefully become relatively proficient in it. Unfortunately there was a bit of a "fiasco" on Thursday where ltdan  didn't show up at all during the day, so I freaked out and every was like oh his phone is probably dead and he's busy but I was like noooooo, maybe something happened to him, so basically I was a wreck the entire day...of course, guess what it was...he was busy and his phone was out of battery. So yeah, I felt like a complete moron to say the least! So yeah, we didn't have our study/review night...cause I hadn't done my labs...and get this, he did have them done, so that made it even worse haha. I did finish my labs that were due on that night though.

So yeah that's what I've been up to. Last night ltdan and I played Horde Mode in Gears of War 2. I wrote a little blurb about it on www.WithinMorgan.com so you can check that out if you're bored or something. After that I watched a bit of Hana Yori Dango and then passed out.

Woke up this morning, a bit later then usual. Had a bit of chat with Chris and then we went our ways for the day. I headed out to the barn, Brian showed up with some warm tea which was so nice of him. He's really the greatest boyfriend hehe. Then he helped me with a few chores and then he had to go do some homework and stuff. He can never do it at my house cause we always end up fooling around LOL So he gets nothing done. I think he'll be coming over tonight though for some dinner and then back up to Burlington for him. He's so cuuute. Hehehe.

Tonight, nothing much going on. Chris and I might work some more on the hard drive I killed, which had SOME VERY IMPORTANT files on it. I did this on Friday night I believe. Most importantly it had mine, emilie 's and raf 's Warcraft characters on it. I mean I've got a backup from like November or so, but it's too old. I am really hoping Chris and I can recover it, or I am going to cry. I might play some Xbox later on, I'm starting to get a bit hungry, so I'm going to head off, make some tea and a snack and then work on a bit more Japanese, and chat with raf obviously <3

Last night ltdan  and I beat the Shanty Town level. I had one last bullet and by some miracle it finished the boss off. I always have that sort of luck with video games. I'll have like 1 bullet left, or a small sliver of life left and by some magic I end up finishing the bosses off. It's crazy. Anyways, I am VERY excited about the final/full game. I think Chris and I will be playing through that as soon as it comes out. Very happy about that.

I got about a 3rd of the way through Chapter 1 yesterday too (for CCNA). Today I'll probably get 2/3rds the way through. It's great stuff. Most of it I kind of know so it's more like review which is nice. But it's good to get refreshed.

Watched Body of Lies this morning. Pretty good movie. Scares the shit out of me though. I am so happy to not have a life in the Middle East. :(

Well, time to go study!
