I don't feel so good, and haven't for what seems like a very long time. I have been more sick in the last 4 years than at any other period of time in my life. I'm exhausted all the time, and lately I haven't been able to sleep worth a damn. it's running me down, and to be honest I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.

Worse still are the gross physiological problems I'm having which include extreme thirst, dehydration, shrinking appetite, urinary issues, and poor lower body circulation. I won't go into any more gross details, but these problems are real and happening all at once. My father believes they are stress related and I am inclined to agree with him.

I need a change, a large change. Work, money, housing, it all needs to change or I think I will fall apart physically. I know I'm already in pieces mentally ;)

Anyways, in closing:

(F) Bahka the Tauran Hunter:        78
(M) Morridi the undead deathknight: 61
(F) Amaraikwa the Blood Elf Rogue:  61
(F) Lindri the Blood Elf Paladin:   24
(F) Kaego the Tauran Druid:         18
(F) Baruu the Orcish Warrior:        8
(F) Ryzaki the Troll Priestess:      2

Finally seem to be over the cold/flu/infection/whatever-the-hell-it-was illness I suffered from all last week. Good thing too As I have 6 glorious days of vacation starting in just over 8 hours.

Things to do on vacation:

1) Nothing. I want to relax, relax, and relax some more! I want to sleep all I want, and just lounge the rest of the time away. God! being a house kat is rough work :)

Nothing else of note to say, so see ya on the otherside *waves*

So I hit level 72 today on my Tauren Hunter. Feels good man, though she is under geared still, I'm steadily working on it :) Sitting pretty on 1500 gold in the bank waiting on the lowered riding costs in the next patch. A little birdy tells me that *may* be as soon as tomorrow though I'm thinking prolly not till 3 weeks from tomorrow, but who knows?

The cast of characters so far:

(F) Bahka the Tauran Hunter:        72
(M) Morridi the undead deathknight: 60
(F) Amaraikwa the Blood Elf Rogue:  60
(F) Lindri the Blood Elf Paladin:    8
(F) Kaego the Tauran Druid:         14
(F) Baruu the Orcish Warrior:        8
(F) Rizaki the Troll Priestess       2 (I think thats her name)

The house seems like its a go, hopefully we'll get the closing done soon so as to have most of July to pack and move. Looking forward to getting out of that shithole townhouse, and looking forward to maybe getting a house kitty to snuggle and love on.

Car transmission seems to be doing wierd things. Will have to take it in and have it looked at after we get the house settled out as that will be the first time I will have disposable income.

We'll just have to see how it all comes together.

... and all I could think about was you. Christ! Sometimes I really hate myself. As if I didn't have enough on my plate with the whole house thing, I have to have her on my mind to?

Nothing new on the house, and I don't expect there to be any news till early next week sometime. hoo-fucking-ray stress >:o

Anyways, still playing WoW which is something I said I would never do, and yet here I am, plugging away on it. Though I am souring on the leveling (the Barrens AGAIN@!$%^#$@) I do plan to return to my low level characters at some point, but for now, Im thinking Im just going to make a beeline to 80 for my Hunter.

Bahka, Tauren Hunteress of the Horde, is currently 68, and in good shape (not great) equipment wise, and is fun to solo/group with. Amaraikwa, Rogue of Silvermoon, is still 60 and alot harder to solo, but alot of fun in a good group, though she desparetly needs gear to compete in Outland.

Morridi, The level 60 Undead Death Knight, is getting next to no time at all. I just don't like him or how the knights play. I continue to level his mining and blacksmithing as a cash cow, but Im pretty sure Im not going to quest with him again.

Guess we'll see where I end up with it, haven't tired of it yet, but that could be be any day now, or never....

We are setup to go over to the new place today after work to do the Mortgage-required house inspection. Once this step is complete we should be able to get final approval from the mortgage people whether they intend to go ahead with the mortgage proceedings, or drop out for any number of various reasons.

Looking forward to this despite the stress of dealing with house buying, moving, and the like.

In other news, I am using the Refer-a-friend deal in wow to move characters to level 60 pretty fast. So far, the total is:

(F) Bahka the Tauran Hunter:        60
(M) Morridi the undead deathknight: 60
(F) Amaraikwa the Blood Elf Rogue:  33
(F) Lindri the Blood Elf Paladin:    8
(F) Kaego the Tauran Druid:          7
(F) Baruu the Orcish Warrior:        6

These characters are all on Earthen Ring, but I am plannign to open up my Allience characters, probably with a Male Dwarf Paladin on Elune (maybe)

Got my computer fully online now with no sound or OS activation issues. Granted it is down a 1TB HD, but whos counting?

Went through my third WoW install in as many weeks, and it was just as lengthy and annoying as the other times, but its running and doing well now that Blizzard got their thumbs out and respec'd my moocow hunter.

BTW, for anyone who cares, got:
59 Tauren Hunter: Bahka
7 Tauren Druid: Kaego
2 Blood elf rogue: Amaraikwa
58 Undead Death Knight: Morridi

All on Earthen Ring RP.

Maybe more on the housing situation in a week; we'll have to see what we see about that.

I let Antimon talk me into trying WoW; should have known better, but oh well.

Got a lvl 59 cow hunter going strong.... or would have if the fucking game hadn't bullocks my talent points up. Attempted to submit a ticket, no response. The forums have a lot of people bitching about the same thing with multiple tickets open and unanswered for 48 or more hours. FUCK!

Also during this time, my raid in my gaming system shit itself. Looks like a common error for this board/chipset, but when I switched the SATA cables around, it was still out, except that it was now reporting the other drive. This is bad as it most probably means that 1 of the 2 drives died. No way to recover the data, as it was a RAID1 (striped) so i only have half the data.

Gotta RMA the drive and in the mean time I am forced to reformat the working drive and reinstall XP. We all know just how much fun that is *rolleyes*

Still all in all, this week has been shitty from the get-go. Work BS, home BS, 401k bs, house buying BS, and now game BS. It all adds up to a shit ton of stress, but thanks to eaglebeagle I got in just enough laughs and oh astonished oh shits! from the videos hes posted. Awesome stuff man :)

Over an hour into the complete format on this 1TB drive and still have 37% left >:o

Yeah, haven't been here in a while. Shit happens.

Work is going well I should say. A little more than 8 months into my Final Write-up. That will drop off in November, and I will be set for another 3 years at Brighthouse Networks, making me even more stable financially than my father. Im pretty sure he hasn't held a job for 6+ years in his life.

Things at home are more or less fine. Haven't killed antimon yet, though I wish we could just be in a house of our own now. I've completed the hardest part of my preparations for buying a house. I've corrected my credit, am doing good paying my car loan, got 2 credit cards I am managing well and my credit score reflects it :)

So things are looking up, I am moving forward, if at a slower pace than I could wish. Next step is to try to work out some of my medical/psychological issues.

Anyways, here is a map of places I have been. Kind of interesting to see and remember some of those trips :)

Now playing: Breaking Benjamin - Sooner Or Later
http://foxytunes.com/artist/breaking+benjamin/track/sooner+or+later

Well shit! Both my roommate and my father got fired from their jobs (at different places) on the same day. Those that know me well know I believe strongly in 3's, and that things like this happen in threes.

Am I next to loose my job? Could be. I got 18 more days till an occurance falls off leaving me with just 2/3rds of an occurance till then. Thats 2 tardies of up to an hour, or one of upto 4 hours. Those who work at brighthouse can tell you how easy it is to be just a tad late on a break multiple times a day, let alone 2 1/2 weeks. If I can maintain for that time I will be well into the clear zone.

I'm not worried or panicked, but I am concerned; like most people I cannot afford to be without my job, and unemployment isn't going to cut it, not with my roommate on it to, and certainly not with my car payment.

So yeah, I haven't posted here in quite a while. Thats partly because they have just about out-right banned internet surfing at work, and LJ is blocked anyways unless you can get a version of firefox working. I'm not putting my job in jeopardy over using the freaking internet.

Anyways, work is degenerating into another AT&T. While its no where near as bad as AT&T was, I see the signs that say it will get there in time. How much time, I don't know. I'm just going to ride my write-ups out until I can qualify for a transfer to another department. The trouble is department management, not the company as a whole. I think I would be much happier as a PC tech in the field; we'll just have to wait and see.

In life news, it seems like the girl I was flirting with probably isn't interested in me like I thought she was. At least, she seems to be otherwise occupied with a boyfriend I just learned about on Friday while I was in the process of asking her out. Seems hes long distance, though I don't know the whole story of it. All I know is he isn't local and wont be back till August. That could mean out-of-town school, military, jail, or any number of things.

Kinda sad, cause I really thought with all her flirting and attention that she was interested romantically; for all I know she might be with her boyfriend being away another 9 months. But do I want to put myself back in the position of being the other guy? Been there, done that with Carissa and Heather. In my experience, it just makes it that much easier for them to leave when another guy comes along.

Worse yet is the possibility that she just wants to be friends. Can't deal with that! I get way too attached too easily and it always leads to trouble, like with Michelle and Cindy... wierd, her Name is Michelle; coincidence? Or karma/fate taking a hand?

Yeah, I'm a tad sad about it, but I am alright in all other ways, so I guess I will see where the road takes me. Keep flirting with her, maybe try again to ask her out; this time just to hang, friend like and see how she reacts.
