Tonight I went to work and then to a "box social" at Christopher Norfleets apartment. It was fun. Watched people play video games, hung out. I even played Super Marioworld for a bit.

As the night progressed, we ended up having a conversation about vibrators (aka B.O.B. - Battery Operated Boyfriend). Why don't they have a talking vibrator? It could moan and shout things. It could be fun.

How about voice activated B.O.B.? BOB - Turn On! BOB-Pulsate Mode! BOB-Wave Mode! etc.

Well it has been a week, did the melancholia come back? Or is this something different?

I'm feeling like crap again today. Damn allergies or whatever it really is. I slept in, aka didn't go to News Editing I, this morning. Mainly because I couldn't sleep last night. It was 3 a.m. when I stoped watching Gilmore Girls and tried to sleep. I took a dose of NyQuil to make that happen.

So today I feel slow and crappy. I'm in a mood now. I think I'm lonely, but I'm really not sure. It's kind of a muddled emotion. Is it just that I feel sick and want someone around? Is it because I'm already dreading tomorrow, simply because I'm going to have to work and work both days this weekend too?

I think it could also be because I haven't got to spend as much time with Mikel as I would like. It seems like we are both so busy that we just have time to steal each other for a dinner or drinks from time to time. I miss just spending hours with him, cuddling and talking. We haven't done that in a few weeks now. Must make that happen, somehow.

I'm still in a pissy mood because of the election too. I had came to the conclusion over a week ago that dubbya was going to win, because Kerry hadn't came out on top in a poll in awhile, but it didn't make it any easier when it actually happened.

I want to find a new-part-time job soon too. It's nice to get a discount at Wal-Mart (when I ever get my card) but I don't like working every weekend. Heather is flying down from Green Bay next month, and I'm scheduled to work the entire time she's here. So that's annoying. Going to have to request time off already.

I dread going to work when I'm not there. I get there, and it's not too bad. I almost enjoy it, not having anything complicated to think of. I pretty must just fly on autopilot. But at the same time, I long for a job where I get to troubleshoot and have tasks.

It would help if I had any idea of what kind of job I want. I like the physical aspect of the job. I've learned that I don't like being forced to sit at a desk all day. It would be nice to find another job that would allow me to work from home, but I haven't looked for one really. It's nice having the ability to clean and stuff while working. At least I get some movement.

hmmmm

I hear Spain or the Netherlands is nice.

What is wrong with this country? What happened to us being liberal? What happened to us being on the cutting edge of democracy? What happened to us being respected in the world? What happened to civil rights for EVERYONE?

Two words answer this: apathy and fear

Many feel they can't change the country and don't try, and others have bought into the Republican partys (mainly Dubbya) bullshit about terrorism and are afraid to vote for someone new because "Bush has the right policys to protect us."

Need I remind people that Bush was in office when 9/11 happened? How about the fact that he ignored reports about terrorism? How about the fact that he cut the counter-terrorism budget before 9/11?

And where's Osama now? What did Iraq have to do with it? Are we taking on North Korea now that he has "Four-more years?"

Seriously, I'm frightened for our country and I will liken many of Bushes policies to be simmular to that of Hitlers. And he's getting away with it, because of "The War on Terror!" War hides many sins.

Subtract peoples views on Irag and Terrorism from Bush and what did we get last night? A lame-duck president for another four years.

Here is a photo of Me, Mikel, Chris and Krista at a halloween party!

Happy one-month anniversary Mikel!
