The Late Friday Five
These are the questions, and I have the answers.
At this moment, what is your favorite...
1. ...song?
I like "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence and "Dynamite Walls" by Hayden
2. ...food?
I am a steak and potatoes kind of guy.
3. ...tv show?
Friends of course. I also like Simpsons, King of the Hill, Andromeda, ER, and others.
4. ...scent?
A sweet Red rose with dew drops on it in the wee hourse of the day. Man, I can't believe that I made it through that with a straight face. Actually, my favorite scent is coffee.
5. ...quote?
I like quotes, as you can tell. I have a little over a thousand of them randomly rotation on my page at the top. So refresh this page, and whatever is at the top is my favorite.

I now have an RSS/XML feed. Well, to be honest, I have had it quite some time and just never bothered to link it. If you don't know what the heck I am talking about, then check out this RSS Resource.

The Friday Five
Yes, it has been ages since I last participated in The Friday Five, but believe it or not, here it is today.
1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
It is shameless self promotion for this site. It used to have a cool little robot, but I changed it.
2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
No, I didn't have one. I wasn't popular enough in high school I guess. You know how it is, just one giant caste system.
3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
I don't have one, but if I did it probably would say something about my great generosity, dashingly good looks, kindness, and extreme intelligence. I have no idea how all that would fit on a license plate, but I am sure there is some way. By the way, was that beeing a little to vain.
4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
No
5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
See # 3. (Just kidding.)

Another post
Well, this is really just a post to waste time. What do you think about that? Well, you know what, I really don't care what you think about that...Uh...sorry about that, I am usually not that cranky, but that is what an empty stomach will do to you. Well, to some people anyway.
Currently I am between classes. I just finished English class which gave us some assigned reading, and will be headed to Math at 1:30. I don't like to brag or anything...oh what the heck...I am already ahead in my Math class. Always good to be ahead, because it leaves me some free time for other things. Which is important.

Students, class is now in session
The first day of school was yesterday. It wasn't so bad, not like my first day last semester. I have 4 classes on Mon and Wed and 3 on Fri and 1 on Tues and Thurs. Of course, some of those are repeats. I only have 4 classes, not 12. That would be too much homework. It is funny though, we haven't had rain since I have been here, and then, the first day it rains. Weird New Mexico weather. This semester will not be as easy as last. Between work and school, it will be a little harder to manage my time. It is nice working on campus because I am right there with my classes, it makes things so much easier. I already have an English paper due that was assigned on the first day. It is about my English history. What I write, have written, read, and so on. I will probably talk about this site in it. I do a lot of writing on it you know. I guess I could call writing this post a warmup since I am writing this instead of my paper.
My professors this semester seem all right. A little too early to tell how good they are. I really liked the ones I had last semester. They were really nice people, and were there to help. For one of my classes I won't meet with it again until the 26th. That professor had a conference to go to in New Zealand. Which in a way is a good thing, because I still don't have a book for that class. Normally I buy my books early, because on this campus (as I am sure on all others) the lines in the bookstore are just sickening. I bought most of my books early, but for my C++ programming class (the one I won't be at until the 26th) the book is sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I think are trying to force me to wait in line. I have always been lucky waiting in lines here. I haven't really had to do to much of it.
I received my first real paycheck today. Yeah!
Spaceports, my web host is no longer free. Sad thing, but hey, they have to pay the bills. It costs $20 a year for 20MB or $30 for 100MB or $40 for 500MB. Not a bad deal I think. It isn't monthly, it is yearly. So they deactivated all the free accounts there. I get to keep mine since I paid to have the advertisements removed. What is neat, is that ever since they removed the non-paying sites there are less sites hosted by them. So now, I am in the Top 20 for the entire host. I have been getting several hits from that page, so it is nice. I like my host, it suits me well.

X-(
As the title may show, I am not dead. Of course you know that now don't you? If you don't, then you really need to get a clue. Anyways, you are probably wondering what is going on. (If you aren't wondering, that is ok. It doesn't hurt my feelings.) Especially since I haven't been posting lately. I am taking more hours this semester coming up, and I started a new job. I am now a Lab Assistant. It is a cool job, I like it. Which is a good thing. Basically it involves helping users in the computer lab. It's all good. School is starting next Wednesday which isn't a good thing. Well it sorta is, I have been going stir-crazy lately.
I don't have any immediate plans for the site. What I want to do with the CSS and everything isn't going to happen anytime soon. I have so much cleaning up to do on it, it isn't even funny. It is hard to design it for more than one browser. A headache really. Well, gotta go, so see ya...talk...write later.
