Procrastinatin is all I do

So, I'm supposed to be packing and here I am, desperately trying to find something else to do and I thought: Why not blog about it?

For those of you who know me, I am moving this week and so far haven't packed at all. I have tried, but I end up just walking away. I know it can't be just ms out here who does this. If so then they made a whole word just for me, and that would be silly. Procrastination. That is my word of the day.

I sign my lease on Wednesday to the new place. I am excited, don't get me wrong. Fireplace, extra bathroom, washer/dryer, even a dishwasher. I just keep plannling how I will arrange everything instead of actually packing any of it up.

Something that has been holding my interest? New phone. I got the XperiaPlay about four days ago and have barely put it down since. Also, work. 54 hours this past week kept me pretty busy. Now I have 3 whole days off and I am sitting on my bed blogging. Fun and possibly funny to someone else, but a time-killer for me.

Also, it has been a while since I have sat down and blogges because I do the same thing when I want to write one. I procrastinate about bloging too. At first I wanted to write at least 3 a week and I have been slacking. Which I apologize for. I am sure I will update more soon.

For now, I'm going to try to force myself to at least pack my kitchen up. Haha. As always, thanks for reading my ramblings.

How did I forget to write about my own birthday?

Apparently I am so excited about Travis getting a job, I forgot to inform anyone that I turned 20.

For my birthday party I went to Lazy Dayz. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a hookah lounge in Newport News. It was fun. Except for Tyler's car getting towed. Sorry again, Ty, I definitely thought you understood me when I said you couldn't park where you were at.

Even though you leaving and saying goodbyes and everything, then coming back in 2 minutes later saying your car was 'stolen' was kind of funny...

Not funny? No? Okay...

Anyways, yeah. I'm 20 now. No longer a 'teenager'. So far, nothing is different. Except I had to renew my license. Which apparently is more expensive and time consuming than building a car these days. 40 dollars doesn't exactly break the bank, but I was in the DMV for about 2 and a half hours. Lame.

I guess I'll let you get back to your regularly scheduled life.

Apartment hunting absence

Woah, it's been a while since I've blogged. I've had a lot going on, actually. To start? I've been working, as usual. But I've also been apartment hunting like crazy. Because guess what?

TRAVIS GOT A JOB!

And a good one too. Meaning my next apartment can be much nicer. This is the one we are currently looking at.

Same apartment as my brother, but without the loft/spiral staircase. Instead it'll be the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom one that is actually the same price. I'm stoked. Also hoping this one will have internet nearby. ^_^ But even if it doesn't, it has a fireplace, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. So... so far it is definitely winning. 

Now I just need to go car shopping. I need something he'll be allowed to ride in/drive since it isn't much closer to his work. Until then, Poop will be on the bus. 

Rain, rain, rain.

So, went to Bush Gardens for the 4th, and was a little weary of it being packed with people.

Got almost there, and then the bottom fell out. Huge storm. Fireworks were cancelled... lame. 

So this is what I didn't see.

However, as soon as they announced the cancellation everyone left. I got to ride Apollos in the front twice without even having to get off. Ha. Later on, the rain stopped and it was still empty. So I got to ride everything and no one was around really. Plus I spent time in Pot of Gold with PoopTyler.

Probably one of the best 4th of Julys ever. Haha. 

Decided to blog because I'm home alone, and thought about how long it's been. I'll try to get on more often. 

Wooohoo! Internet from my couch

I know what you are thinking... "You finally paid and got internet?"
And the answer is: Nope. But I finally worked on my antennae and now I can steal wifi from the privacy of my apartment again. Know what that means? More blogs!

Are you excited? Oh, because I sure am! ha.

See you soon. Going to watch some horror movies. I'll update soon.

Inner self

So, this is me. Well... kind of. This is what happens when I am waiting for downloads to finish in Barnes and Noble after I am done writing a blog...

Facebook creeping?

I'm going to start this one off with an obvious fact: The internet is making it easier to be more and more invasive by the second. Also, I am aware that writing this blog only furthers that fact.

Now, to the story! I was sitting in Cheddar's, not 20 minutes ago, and some people were seated at the table across from me. Their waiter came over and I realized that I knew him from somewhere. After a few moments, I remembered where from. I met him one time through a friend, Jeoi, that I haven't talked to in months. I decided to be a facebook creep. I hunted through Joei's page for a good 5 minutes looking for him, and then almost gave up. Then decided to just search "Cheddar's" on facebook. Second thing on there is a big ol' picture of him. Stu. Met him one time, he's standing about 4 feet away, and I have his life on my phone. Pictures, statuses, etc. How creepy is that? 5 minutes and I know all about a stranger just from knowing where he works.

I couldn't help but message him to tell him of my creepy findings. Basically just "Hey, I met you one time, facebook creeped and found you, thought you should know". Then I started really thinking. How far could I go with that? Yeah, I recognized him from a party, so I looked him up. But what if I had been some murderer? Now I know all about you just from seeing you in a uniform. Kinda weird.

That being said, I am not a creepy serial killer, haha. So I won't go hunting him down, but still. Do we make it a little too easy to find ourselves these days? Maybe put a little too much information online?

I suppose I'm not the person to answer those questions. First thought after spelunking through his life? "I have to blog this, haha". 

Final summation? It's getting easier to know someone from the internet then actually talking to him. Which is probably a bad thing. If you meet a new person and talk to them, what do you find out? Maybe where they work, their name, their hobbies? Facebook and other such sites; you find out their whole lives. Where they go and what they have done, and will do. Normally updated at least daily.

I remember when 'internet friends' were just someone you met online, with no intention to meet. You'd say "I know him online, but I don't really know him" Ha, I guess that's not really the case anymore.
