RAVE = Nice sale on American Airlines today. I'm going to Madrid next month for less than $750. RANT = I might be going by myself. I got all excited about the cheap flight and just... booked it. Because I'm 23 and childless, and essentially debtless as well, and I'm sure as shit going to take these trips while I can't really make excuses not to. RAVE = Also going to Tangiers, Morocco, and one or two more as yet undecided cities. The front runners are Santiago de Compostela and Porto. Any way I slice it, it's three countries across two continents next month, and I'm so excited, I might pee myself.
RAVE: I just fucked with a tailgater! I was driving home on a long stretch of empty country road, and a guy was riding my ass with ample opportunity to pass me, but he didn't. So I took my car out of gear and let it coast. I went from 65 mph down to 25 over the course of a few miles, and he still wouldn't pass me. Once another motorist took initiative and did so, I sped up, leaving him in the dust. Remember people: Tailgating is rude.
Rave: Officially picked up my CH-53e copilot qualification. Rave: Time for a victory beer. ...and either rant or a rave: I may or may not be slightly drunk after only a few beers...
Rant: Cooking myself some pork chops tonight, I absent-mindedly picked up the skillet bare handed after I finished baking them in the oven. Holy hell does my left hand feel bad. Looks like only one major blister is forming though, so it could be worse. Plus, beer.
Rave: After training I went by the grocery store to pick up a few things, and I struck up a conversation with the lady waiting next to me while getting some tilapia by making a stupid remark asking if she always got that dressed up to go to Publix (she was a lawyer and had to work late). Well, she ended up behind me later on at the checkout counter and she gave me her number based not on the D.E.N.N.I.S. system, or the M.A.C. system, but rather Frank's system. Those who watched that Always Sunny episode will know what I'm talking about.
??? Husband and I are sitting/sorta cuddling on the couch enjoying our nightcaps and respective electronic devices. All of a sudden he starts giggling. Then uncontrollably laughing. I look over: he's reading Hilarity Ensues. He manages to catch his breath and wheeze out, "This is terrible!" then proceeds with the kind of laughing that sounds like crying. Finishes up with wiping his eyes on my hoodie. Yep, still giggling. And doing weird breathing things. He may be asthmatic.
Rant Based on my how day is going so far, I could have told you it was Friday the 13th without even having to look at the calendar. Rave Camp Crystal Lake Day! Erry'body git yer slash on!
RAVE: 1. It's Friday 2. It's sunny 3. It's payday 4. It's office moving day so there's no real work being done 5. Dropped the succubus last night and I'm free 6. Woke up early enough this morning to watch some morning porn and get a quick jerk before work. 7. Opened up my email to find an RFP for a six figure project that gives me a good jump on my quarterly numbers 8. Is that a free roll-up-the-rim coffee tab I see in my drawer? Why yes. Yes it is.
I am roughly 15 days away from becoming a home owner. I got the property for a price so cheap I can afford to remodel it, and build the kitchen I actually want, instead of what came with it. I'm also building a bar in the basement, and getting a TV bigger than Lexington Steel's Shlong. Thank you housing market for letting your bottom fall out. Thank you Mr and Mrs Frebis Sr. for teaching your son to spend his money wisely. Thank you stock market for letting me sell some things at an all time high. The only way life could be better right now is if I had won the mega millions a few weeks back. I have no Rants. None at all. The place is being inspected on Tuesday. That may turn up something to rant about. And the biggest Rave of them all, I get the keys 3 months before my lease expires, so I will have time to remodel it before I have to move in.
I am so beat down right now. Good news is I found and got a new apartment. YAY for good schools and neighborhoods! Bad news is The Guy (obviously) can't help me move. So I'm sadface. Other than that, I ate a maple bacon cupcake yesterday and it was magic in my mouth.
Rave: After getting it in three times in ~hour, I hear this- "Oh, by the way, I have some jerky with me, do you want some?" YES YES I DO
Rave: Going up to UConn to spend a night with my sister. She's graduating in a few weeks and this is the first time I'm going up to visit her for a night. I always wanted to leave her be rather than go up and visit and invade her space, but she's really excited for me to come up and was pissed that I hadn't come up yet. Rave (?): I'm playing in a pong tournament with her boyfriend and then going to the bar afterwards for nickel shot night or something. I don't drink nearly as hard as I did in college anymore, so this might get interesting (read: vomit).
I might just be crazy rave: I am so excited about my new job that I went in for three hours today even though I don't start until Monday.
Rave: Birthday. Rave: ribs from Rendezvous Grill in Memphis for birthday dinner. Rave: awesome girlfriend. Rave: Woke up from surgery.
Rave: Good weekend. Went to Raleigh to get my car fixed and happened upon a beer fest. Rave: Pulled the trigger and bought a 47" LED TV (an LG 47LM7600, will report on it soon) and a PS3. 0% financing for 36 months? Why yes please. Rave: I really don't have anything to do this week besides check out of my squadron. Life is good right now.
