"The client sat on this camera during the VT vs. ECU disaster."

That is what the guy at Best Buy put on my service request for my new digital camera. I thought it was funny. Needless to say, my one month old camera is broken because I forgot that it was in the back pocket of my uniform and when we sat down for ECU to perform it met with my reed case and cracked the screen. Oh well....at least it's getting fixed.

The game sucked...don't want to talk about it. It was one of the hottest games that I have been to, but I still have high hopes for my Hokies this season. We'll see about this whole Tyrod red-shirt shinanigans here soon...

It smells like Asian...

So between Process, Planning, and Design, me, Brandon, Jeff, and Jon went to AJ so Jeff could use his sister's computer to print something off for class. On the way up someone mentioned that it smelled in the stairwell. Right as a girl of Asian descent passed me I said "It smells like AJ in here." Apparently evenyone thought I said it smelled like Asian. Needless to say I felt really bad that it sounded like that and I now wonder what that girl thinks of me. It is funny to a point but also bad...so I apologize to anyone I may have offended today...

I am really enjoying my new computer. It runs a lot faster and Vista isn't too bad...yet. There have been a few issues I have had with it but nothing to get me to downgrade to XP. I am going to see how it turns out. I figure this computer is built to run Vista so it should be good. Other than that, I wish my webcam would be able to communicate with those of my friends that have Macs and iSights...oh well.

Well I was just asked to head Downtown....later!

oh yea....NO CLASS TOMORROW!!!! :-)

DUDE!..You're getting a Dell...

So my computer decided to kick the bucket yesterday. Not cool. I went to Best Buy to try and get them to finally honor their "No Lemon" policy. No such luck. "We can't make that call hear." They have to send it off for 1-3 weeks and let Geek Squad HQ (aka Satan's other asshole) make that call. So needless to say, with the warranty running up in two weeks I just but the bullet and got a new one. It's a Dell...wish i could have gotten a Mac, but I guess that will have to wait until after college.

It's been a stressful week so far...hopefully it will calm down now...

...that's what it's all about!

Well, I just survived my last band camp of my college career. It was a lot of fun and very tiring. I think that we have some awesome rookies and that this year will be a blast...as always. One of the biggest things that I am excited about is that I get to be on the fence this year for football games!

Classes start tomorrow....kinda. I have one class tomorrow at 1:25 and then band. So not a huge day for me. I really don't start class till Tuesday when everything hits. My Tuesday/Thursday...

...that is the price I pay for no Friday class I guess.

"and i pinned it up on my bulletin board, because i was amazed at how large it was"

Carly made my weekend with this quote... :-)

Tattoos...

Conversation with Caitlyn last night...

Caitlyn: "So I don't think I am going to get a tattoo anymore..."

Me: *laughs*

Caitlyn: "Would you ever get a tattoo for any reason?"

Me: "The only tattoo I would get is if I did something really big on the world stage. Like a lot of the people in the Olympics have the Olympic Rings tattooed on them. So, I would do something like that."

Caitlyn: "So you would only get a tattoo if you were in the Olympics..."

Me: "No. I mean if I did something really cool that was really hard to do. Like if I became President I would have to get the presidential seal tattooed on my arm."

Tech Sweet Tech

I AM BACK IN BLACKSBURG!!

It feels great being back and I am already having an awesome time. Last night I was asked to dinner by Caitlyn, Lauren, and Stephanie and I thought it was just going to be like the four of us and maybe a few other people. It ended up being, me, Stephanie, Caitlyn, Lauren, Cory, Cory's brother Rory, Elizabeth, Stephen, Special K, Stephanie, Chris, Kate, Jan Michael, and Maura. Freaking awesome time! And as we were walking out we saw B. Wood, Dane, Mike and Krista at another booth. Again, freaking awesome...I cannot wait until Thursday and back at band :-)

The drive back to Tech took me about 6 hours thanks to traffic between home and Richmond. I had to go up 143 to Busch Gardens to avoid a back-up and then there were two accidents two miles between each other right before 295 which was awesome. And I had two people from UVA cut me off between Richmond and Staunton which just added to my love of that school...

POOKUMS=licence plate of person from UVA who cut me off....yea just going to leave it at that...lol

Not going to lie...I am very excited about this coming year and I cannot wait for everyone else to get back up here. I have already been out with a bunch of MVs and went downtown with Jonnny. This week is going to be a blast...

Also, at Sharkey's last night I saw Bill Roth, the voice of the Hokies...AWESOME!...I love this town.

Two Weeks!!!!

I am counting down the days till I go back to school. Two weeks and I will be back at Tech. I cannot wait!

Right now I am house sitting my brother's house while he is on his honeymoon. He is enjoying a week down in Florida at Disney World and Universal Studios. But I get the house all to myself and get to experience what it's like to be back at school away from the rents for a while. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents but I also like being on my own.

The wedding went really well. The biggest thing that went wrong was that the wedding cake was like a half an hour late getting to the reception. So in others words there were no real problems that happened. We did have a drill sergeant of a wedding coordinator at the church. It was very comical to me and a bunch of my friends. I felt like I was learning drill at the rehearsal and I started counting in my head when I had to make turns and stuff. Hopefully I didn't mess up too badly for her...lol. 

But I have to say the funniest thing was a comment from my Dad. We shows up the the rehearsal dinner early to set up and they offered us something to drink. My dad had a beer and this was the conversation my dad and mom had...

Mom: "Well I think we should head to the church. Do you want some gum to cover up that beer smell before you walk into the church?"

Dad: "Why? Jesus made water into wine and I'm sure his breath smelled like alcohol from time to time."

Freaking hilarious.
