Hmm...
So here I am, not really able to afford to go say goodbye to a good friend because I can't afford the fuel, and in honour of this, I'm linking to an amusing website with a bunch of comics that relate to this little issue...

Look!
*Gasp* It's a post by me! As you may have noticed, I've been unable to get on the computer lately... Thanks to no less than three broken computers and the fact that I've moved and ended up once again on dialup, which is enough to discourage anyone from posting.
Right now I'm at my mom's, looking after my little brother for her. It's pretty easy, he's at school most of the day, and she gets home around five, which is only an hour after he finishes school. I'm basically there to make sure someone's around if she has to go out on a call.
I've applied for a paramedic job way up here. They're even going to train me for free, provided I work a certain number of hours for them. I went for my interview yesterday, which went well. I have the option to either start training next month, or else take it all summer. The shorter course will likely be better, but I may be working at the hatchery again, so that could cause some conflict, unless I only work part time. We'll see. Until then, I was told I could fill out some paperwork then go on ride-alongs to see what working for them would really be like. I'll likely start doing that as soon as I figure things out.
My friend Chris is off for general training at the end of the month, so it's unlikely you'll be hearing much about him ever again. Oh well. It was loads of fun while it lasted. I have a couple of guys chasing me about here at home, but even considering them would be in violation of my #1 Rule: Don't even think about it if your significant other knows them.
Anyways, enough with the serious stuff. Here's a picture for your amusement:
(For the record, I do know it up to 3.1415926, although I did have one friend that knew 15 digits... and another who knew to 23 digits...)
So long, farewell, and everything else. I'll post again eventually.

Holidays...
Well, I know I've been missing for a while. Shortly after my last post I came down with the flu, and was ill right through Christmas, so that holiday sucked. No tasty food :(
Well, I'm better now, but I suppose New Year's wasn't so great either. I was dd once again, and drove several people around. I did get to talk to a few people that I only seem to get to see once a year, so that was okay, but on the whole it wasn't so great. Oh well. Maybe next year will be better.
Went to a Buckcherry concert on the 28th with Kato. I'm afraid that I must say they sucked. However, State of Shock also played, and I thought they were really good. We ended up leaving halfway through Buckcherry though to go to the bar and beat the rush. I still wasn't feeling too well, so I didn't end up drinking, although that worked out well I suppose because we saved cab fare as I just drove us home.
The next day I sat around with Kato most of the day, then went out with Jon for supper at Clancy's. We played a few rounds of pool and I realized just how out of practice I was, then I headed home again, to find out that my boyfriend was sick so we couldn't go to the party I'd hurried home for. Oh well. That's the way it works I suppose.
Anyways, hope all my faithful (lol) readers had great holidays, and if you ever get bored... I'm on msn almost all the time. I'll appreciate the distraction. Till then, I'll continue to sit here and listen to music and pet my cat.
