Well I am in Oklahoma. I'm tired, didn't sleep much (3hr 15 min) last night. Me and Amie drove around forever trying to find a parking spot for my car, but never found one. So we gave up, parked it in the parking garage and got it out at 5:30'ish this morning. Seven hours for only $14.50, what a bargain! That's the only thing I hate about Chicago, parking, or lack there-of.


I feel bad. I didn't check before I got airline tickets, but the CTA buses don't run at 5:00 a.m., so Amie had to get up with me and drive me to the airport. She's probably hurting about now, since she had to work, and she went in to work early because of it.


I just woke from a two-hour nap, and I'm feeling better. Michael just called me. I think we're all going to do dinner tonight; however, I can't say for certain, I need to see what Nikki and Chris have planed for when they get off work.


I think I'm going to get some nice Oklahoma storms out of this visit. I'm looking forward to a good thunderstorm/tornado watch. It's odd that I miss them, but I've had them all my life, and they are noticeably absent in Wisconsin.


I've only been in the state for six hours, and I already don't want to leave. I hope I still feel this giddy about being home when August gets here, and I move back. It will probably feel different then. I won't be here for just fun, I will have that whole class thing to do. I'm still no that ready to go back to school. But I need to do it, or so I'm told.

"For some people, the bright sun can provoke a sneeze. About one out of three people sneezes in the presence of bright light. These sneezers are called "photics" (from the Greek word "phos," meaning "of light"). Photic sneezers run in families, since this trait is inherited."


COOL! I was under the impression that it was an allergy. Nice to know it's another fine quirk from my "wonderful" gene pool. Trust me, i'd be the first to get the bleach.

mmmmm

Hey, cool. I have a gmail account now. darrow@gmail.com!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I seem to have an issue, yes another one! Once i've been seriously involved with someone, I don't want to live in the same state with them. It weirds me out to think that I could, potentially, date, trick, or be involved with someone who could have been involved with the person that I dislike.

Hmm, I could probley make that easier to understand. "Ewww Cooties!"

:\

Today was different. I was in training all day at the Regency building/office in downtown Green bay. So it was a break from the norm. I realized how much I hate the Regency management though. The Regncy is a large complex. They have a convention center, Regency suites and office building -- all connected. In the hotel, theres an Italian resturant and courtyard. Well apparently Humana employees, even though we are paying customers of the resturant, are not allowed to eat in the dinning areas, per the hotel management. I told them I was a paying customer and a Humana employee and I'd eat where I want. So I sat in the courtyard and ate, all while getting dirty looks by one of the bartenders.

Well the car I bought seems to be not as big of a POS as we began to think. Still not sure if i'm going to keep it or sell it (and make a profit) and buy something else. We managed to fix the majority of the cosmetic issues with the car, and a major mechanical issue for $37.50. Gotta love salvage yards.

Amie is comming to visit tomorrow, yay!

I need to get a hair cut tomorrow, seriously. It's getting bad.

I just found out that my medication/pain pills are whats causing my hiccups.

shoot me.

Ok, I'm officially dieing. I'm swollen and look like a chipmunk. I haven't stoped hiccuping in over 24 hours, I feel bloated and my mouth is in pain. I'm white-to-translucent in color, and I've been to White lake, MI and back.

I'm so fucking swollen, that I look like a chipmunk.

For those that didn't know, I had my wisdom teeth removed today. It wasn't too bad. I had never had anesthesia before, so I was worried about that. Not only did I get the novacain (an extended 12-hour version) but also got "Laughing Gas" and an IV sedation drip.

I stayed awake through the procedure. I was told I might have an amnesia effect from the anesthesia. But I think I remember nearly everything. The only thing I don't remember is one of the teeth getting removed. I remember three of the four being removed though.

Leaving tomorrow to pick up my car in Michigan. Tomorrow I should be feeling OK. But Sunday is supposedly going to suck. I'm going to swell even more. The oral surgeon said that none of the teeth came out easily, they were all very-much embedded into the bone. So I'm going to be sore, swell and could have some bruising for a few days.

So far the thing that has sucked the most about the surgery was when it was over. They injected me with a drug, through the IV, that helps prevent swelling. They neglected to tell me that it would make my junk, crotch or whatever you want to call it, feel like it was on fire. It took five minutes to stop. I thought it was an allergic reaction at first. Ryan said it was just something with nerves but Chris said he had the same reaction when his was taken out. So at least I know I'm not the only one who it happened to.

I've learned that matron and Vicodin are great drugs to take in combination :)

I bought a car off of eBay this weekend, at least thats done. It was cheap, so I'll be able to save the rest of my money to fix whatever problems it may have and the rest to live on while at OSU.

We're just trying to find a way to get this picked up, its in White Lake, MI, which is 8 hours one-way and he wants it picked up by thursday since he is going on vacation. So we want to try and leave this morning sometime to go get it, but he hasn't emailed me back since I asked if he would be around today. If he doesn't e-mail me back, then it will have to wait until after he gets back from vacation.

I was in Chicago all weekend, it was pretty fun. I didn't get to buy dress pants, or khakis, like I wanted but I think I can find them here.

This is my first official post in quite some time. Work sucks. I am really beginning to hate Humana. It's such a boring job. I'm looking forward to moving back to Oklahoma and trying to have a stress-free life, try being key.

A lot of things are going on with friends these days. I found out today that Travis is going into the Air Force and is going to boot camp on Aug. 17. That sucks, the same week that I come back, he leaves. He also found out that he's loosing his job today, since Gateway sucks and is closing its retail stores.

I leave for Chicago tomorrow. I'm taking Ryans grandmother down to an orchid show, and visiting Amie for the weekend. I'm not sure if I'm going to come back on Sunday or Monday though. since I don't have to work till tuesday. I need to enjoy this week as much as I can, since next weekend (the 9th) I have oral surgery to have my wisdom teeth removed. That should be fun!
