Virginia starts to grow on you
January 6th, 2005 at 01:36 amIs anybody surprised that I’m still here in Virginia? Seriously, anybody? I didn’t think so. My plans for leaving yesterday fell apart when I didn’t roll out of bed until 2:30. My plans for leaving today fell apart when I kept saying “Eh, I’ll leave within the next hour. Now let’s go play some more video games Colton!” So as of now, I’m leaving tomorrow. I swear. The truck is packed, I’ve got a bag of homemade cookies ready to go, and I am forcing myself to leave. Seriously. I mean it this time. Clay is actually going to ride down with me because he doesn’t want me to have to make the drive alone (Sidenote: See Waynus, that is what a true brother would do! You bitch and moan about maybe having to make the drive with me and Clay goes out of his way so that I don’t have to be alone for eight hours. I’m just saying. End Sidenote) We’re staying in Spartanburg for a day before making our way back to Columbia where he’ll stay with me until Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, the Packers first playoff game is then at 4:30 EST. Now that I think about it, I might have to take Clay to the airport sometime during then…this could prove to be a problem.
I honestly would probably stay in Virginia for another week or so since all my stuff is here and I can work from this computer, but I actually have business to attend to in Columbia. You see, Andy is coming into town until Tuesday and I want to make sure we hang out for a while. Why? We’ve never met.
Andy and I “met” this past September on some messages boards and soon started conversing back and forth via IM. He recently graduated USC and moved onto Grad School out in Arizona, so we never had a chance to actually meet in person. When I learned that he was going to be in Columbia for a few days this month, I made sure to clear my schedule so that I could actually meet the fabled “Friend McSquash” himself. I’ve been warned by him that he’s not as funny in real life as he is on the Internet, but we’ll see. It’s times like these I remember why I love Shyzer and the people it brings me to.
Speaking of people I know only through Shyzer, Jaime pointed out that I have yet to post the results of the Best of Shyzer. I would upload them now, but I’ve already written the post about it and it’s back on my computer in Columbia. So what’s a few more days of suspense going to do to ya, honestly? But thanks for reminding me. I honestly wish I could get access to a floppy disk right now, because on my laptop is a Word Document 14 pages long full of posts that are ready to go. If I’ve learned anything over this break, it’s that the world no longer uses floppy disks and I need to accept that. So, I worked for two hours today (thereby theoretically making two hours worth of wages that I normally wouldn’t have made) and used those wages to order a USB Flash Drive for $25. No longer will I have to worry about carrying around a damn floppy disk with 1.38MB worth of storage since I now will own a 128MB flash disk.
Why am I telling you this? Well, now I will no longer be able to say “I would give you a real post right now, but it’s stuck on my laptop, so…”
And just to throw this out there. I’ll be 22 in a four weeks and living in Australia in five weeks. That’s after spending the previous three weeks with my family. Could I be any happier right now?
