Well, I got the fifty plus emails from ea. You would think by now the list would be deleted. The beta testing is long over and Majestic isn't returning. It seems highly unlikely that they would keep the list around when it isn't necessary any longer. I still look for a game with the same ideas to surface someday, not quite sure if I'd want to test it. Sometimes we get too close to something new and it fails miserably just like the "game."

I met some great people online along the way and for that I'm happy. I've learned a great deal about my computer and myself too. It's made me a bit more confidant in "surfing" and in chatting in a room. No more shyness, just jump in with both feet and have a good time. Thanks all.

Not much going on here this week. Just trying to get everything ready for next week. I think I made the right decision about getting a lawyer. At least this way I have an idea of what I should and shouldn't do. I'm not sure if it'll help any, but it's worth giving it a try. This is after all his first time in trouble.

We didn't do so well in darts last night, I think I had a few too many beers beforehand. Every now and then you just got to let loose and get really ****faced. I succeeded, beautifully. The surprising thing is that I didn't have to pay for it this morning. Not a good sign, the whole reason I stopped drinking so much was because of feeling really bad in the morning. It's hard to read the addresses when your eyes are fuzzy. Oh well. Maybe it just fits the stage that I'm in. Hope that changes soon.

One more thing, I just took another step towards being a wanderer, I was going to upgrade my computer with my income tax money, instead I bought a motor home. Now I can travel and take my house with me. By the time I can get anything besides dial-up here, I'll have the money saved again to upgrade anyway.

This is cool, I always pick this kind of character anyway. At least I'm going the way I should. I've always wanted to be a magical wanderer.

I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Mage Ranger


Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently conccern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.


Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

I've decided not to go to geocities. I'm just going to mess with the template here and make a few changes. I don't seem to have any time to do anything. I'd like to try and make it look a little different then everyone else's but being still new at this, it's going to happen a little at a time. I'm sure when, not if, I screw it up really bad, I can count on a few of you to help me out. You all know who you are. ; ) And yes I have backed up this template in case I do so bad that you all can't even help.

The Font Quiz - You are Redensek!




Thought I might give it a try.
We went to see my lawyer friend today, he might be able to help get my son out of some of the trouble he's in. I told him I don't want him out of all of it, he needs to learn a lesson here. Yes, that might sound really mean but if we don't stop him now, as a juvie, it's only going to be harder when he's older. Except for this trouble he's always been a good kid and I would like for him to stay that way.

Another fun 12 hour day at work, tomorrow is more of the same. I just wanted to say hey to everyone, if anyone's still reading. I think that this job has finally become a real job. No time for a life anymore, no time to even stop in and say hi in chat. My r/l friends think that I've moved out of state and my family , well they're just used to me disappearing every now and then. They know that like a "bad penny" eventually I'll show up somewhere, alive and well. I'm glad I started keeping this blog, at least it makes me sit down for a few minutes and pay attention to me instead of everyone around me. Thanks to whoever came up with this idea and I wish you all would have told me about it sooner. More later if I get time.

So much for picking winners, Stewart was out with only 2 laps run. Oh well, maybe this weekend he'll do better.
I finally get an extra day off from work and do I get to clean my house, update my whole blog or even just lay around and do nothing? No, I have to go and clean my mom's place down here. They'll be here wednesday and since my stepdad just had surgery I wanted the place to be nice for them. For a place that noone's been in for a month or so, it sure was messy. I wish I could get my place to look even close to clean but right now I have to settle for being able to walk around and eat off of clean dishes. I guess that's not too bad.
The lawyer called me today about my son. He's charging me next to nothing. I hope that means that it won't be much to help get Sean out of trouble. We've got a meeting with him on Thursday, I'll know more then. The free skate is on, hope everyone has a good day.

Today's the first race of the season. Daytona is the best track and the best time. We went last year and had a great time. Fortunately or unfortunately, as the case may be, we weren't there for the race on Sunday. I had to work Saturday so we only saw the IROC race and the trucks. It was better that we weren't there. It was sad when Dale Earnhardt died. I hope today's race is accident free, we don't need to lose any more drivers. Good Luck to all the drivers and God Bless.

BTW, I pick Tony Stewart to win, even though I've always been a Ford fan.

I have to edit before it'll work right and right now I just don't have the time. Hopefully having a holiday on Monday, I can get it done. Have a nice weekend, hope you all have a great time.

I'm trying to ftp to geocities, let's see if this works.

AT least I know I'm not crazy. The Canadian couple did do well. It's a shame that the judges don't know what's good and what isn't. Maybe some changes will happen now and they'll be accountable for their actions. Of course it's too late, they won't be given the Gold that they deserve, medals are very rarely taken back. All of this so that the Russians streak wasn't broken.




Take the Which Breakfast Food Are You? Quiz.






Ummm, breakfast food. The one meal I never eat.

There's no way that they lost, somehow, someway something's wrong. They skated the best, they had the marks! Sure they got a silver but, come on, anyone who was watching knows they were the best out there tonight. The Canadian figure skating team had it. Everyone knew it, the audience gave them a standing ovation. They booed when the marks came up. 2nd? NO way! But that's what happened. I guess the best doesn't always finish first.

I know you all aren't much into Nascar, but I've loved racing since I was little. We used to go to quarter mile tracks, Mid-Ohio which was Dragway 42 back then and Thompson Drag Raceway. I guess it's in my blood, I was married to a mechanic and have lived with another for 7 years now, can't get away from them I guess. Anyway, back to what I was talking about. Nascar.com just started their fantasy games and I'm pretty excited about the drivers I got in the first draft
1. Tony Stewart(love his attitude!)
2. Ricky Rudd
3. Terry Labonte( he rides with Tony the tiger)
4. Kyle Petty
5. John Andretti
6. Ryan Newman(a rookie with lots of promise)

I think that we'll go far this year and maybe even win.

Not much going on here, I watched the figure skating this evening. I can't figure it out, I hate the cold weather don't like ice or snow, but I'm fascinated, watching couples figureskate. They're just so graceful. So far my favorite team is the Canadien team. The U.S. team has already fallen twice on the first night. Hopefully they won't do it again.

I want my quiet, peaceful corner of the world back. PLEASE!

OK, now this is really weird, I get to take my son the the sheriff's office and have him arrested today. They were here yesterday and told him that I have to bring him in. If they want him that bad, why didn't they take him yesterday? I think that maybe they are just trying to scare him, I hope it works.

I hope that everyone's problems get better. I'm not trivializing anything, I really don't want everyone going through bad times, why is it that RL has to be so bad for so many at the same time?The worst thing is that it's not anything that anyone has done, it's out of our control. I know that there are ebbs in everyone's life it just seems strange that it happens to so many at the same time.

Hi all, I hope everyone's alright. Not doing to bad here. I've finally decided that it's just not worth it to worry any more. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen and driving myself insane isn't going to change a thing. I guess all of this insanity is because the last few years have been quiet and very uneventful. Payback all at once really sucks though.
I miss chatting with everyone and wish that things were different but I guess my self-esteem is low enough not to go where I feel that I haven't been invited. I guess maybe today is just a low day for me.
They finally signed a new contract at work, of course it doesn't change much for me. We'll get a lump sum cost-of-living check sometime around July or August that will be nice but other than that, they'll just pay us less to do more, like always.

I've added a new link to the left side. It's Cedar Point, one of the best rollercoaster parks in the world. I grew up at this park, I'm just a rollercoaster freak at heart. They've added 3 coasters since I was there last. I definitely need to go up there this summer and try them out. They look awesome! We even went there for Prom weekend in high school. What a long time ago that was!

Wee, January's over and so is most of the trouble that my son was in. We had a long talk last nite with the detectives and he's cleared on all of the major stuff that someone tried to pin on him. I was never so happy in my life that he ran away. It gave him the alibi that he needed to be cleared. Strange huh? There is one other thing that he might be in trouble for but it's minor and it's also his first offense. We won't know about that until tomorrow.
It just amazes me that as soon as January is over everything falls into place and things get better. My finances are going to be bad for awhile but a few weeks of work will take care of that. At least the bills are paid and I'm not totally broke.
