identity

I just picked up my work from school - however, I wasn't supposed to. LOL. Apparently, the only thing I was supposed to take was the innards of my packaging, and the identity (minibar | winebar) project boards.

I won't complain, by any means, though. I can return the work tomorrow when I go to the first of 8 summer classes - they will be 9-5 on tuesdays and thursdays for the next 4 weeks. I think I'll be able to handle it - what do YOU think?

My weekend was good - Friday I had a WONDERFUL dinner with Paul, and then went over to my friend Brian's house to geek out about music - around 2 or 3, I decided to just stay over there. Saturday, I was planning on going to see Them vs. Them at Sub-T's, but instead went to a party with Brian again - rather nice little soiree in which a few crazy things happened. Again, 2 or 3 in the morning just caused me to sleep there again. Sunday I go home, grab coffee and birthday cards, go to see the family, who was oddly enough, not insane... Explanations:

My uncle bob is there, who i haven't seen in well over a year, and I haven't seen my aunt in well over 2 years (she was NOT there). He's a lot like my dad, only 2 years older, and with dark curly hair (most of which is gone at this point, and he wears a rug or a hat as a result). My cousin joined the reserves - best of luck to him!

My grandmother is not the racist vixen she once was - All they used to do is bicker and watch 60 minutes while blaming all of the worlds woes on "faggots" and "niggers" - which, of course, is just not acceptable in my book. Oh, did i mention that she once tried to spray paint my step-grandfather cause he got paint on the windows while doing some trim work? Right...

My Aunt Diane has gone conservative - and that's okay, I have no problem with conservatives, but I have a problem with party lines and hard-line conservatives that are pretty much gutless lap dogs to this administration - enough was said to show that we all differ in opinion, but not enough was said to get all huffy about it. She expressed that she's at her wits end with a lot of the family at the moment - I don't blame her.

My Uncle Tom and Aunt Carole - they're pretty much the same, and always have been. Refreshing almost.

All in all, my fucked up family isn't all that fucked up at the moment, and I was a little bit taken aback by that. In a short 3 hour party, I had brats, cake, a couple beers and some baileys.

After that, I lounged at home hoping someone would want to nab a beer, and low and behold, Brian calls! So I meet him at the new alternative bar in town, Lakeview Broadcasting Company, and have a good time... On the way out, there was an issue involving police and some of his ex's dogs, of which I will not get into, but I felt for them both.

I got up late today, and mosey'd into work, where I'm hungry as FUCK, but whatever. I'll eat when I want.

megan - If I don't talk to you before, have fun in the homeland - If I see news that northern Ireland is all of a sudden more violent to the south, I will know it's because of some loud girl and her crazy mom screaming out of a car window. Remember, you can blog when you're over there, and they have internet cafe's EVERYWHERE, so... ya know, keep us informed on the insanity.

I guess I should wrap this thing up. I hope everyone had a good weekend, and I'll post more soon!

L8r!
