If friend has told Kurt she's interested, and he has any reason for not trying get into a relationship with her, it's because he doesn't really want one. If she hasn't told him, then she'd better, and if she doesn't, it's open season. Now, if he's in a serious relationship with someone else, and that's his reason for not being with her, then, well, them's the breaks. Sometimes the one you want to be with is better off with someone else.

If he's in a relationship and that's his reason, he should say that. So he may be trying to keep makare's friend on the side, in case the relationship doesn't work out, without letting her know that's what's going on.

One way or another, he sounds like a tool.

Pretty much, and I don't really get where Rick enters into this because as far as I can tell, no one in the equation wants to be with him. So what if he's said that friend belongs to him? She obviously doesn't think so, and hers is the opinion that matters. Unless Rick and Kurt are good friends, I can't imagine why Kurt would give it a moment's thought unless he was looking for an excuse to fend the friend off with.

I think you are not noticing that there is a major piece missing from this puzzle. I have no reason to think that kurt would be interested in ME. So it's not like we are secretly in love with each other or anything. He and my friend have a thing and between he and rick I would choose him. That was my point. Im not really that interested in Kurt or anyone else.

So if I went after a guy I wasnt that interested in that my friend is REALLY interested in that would make me an asshole. Case closed.


and yeah it is a bunch of drama crap. I hate it. This is why I have had a few friends at a time that did not know each other. This big group of friends crap drives me crazy.

Okay, that isn't what it read like, so pardon the misunderstanding. That aside, I don't know what you're looking for here. Rick shouldn't enter into things, and it sounds like Kurt doesn't want a relationship with your friend.

I HATE having to borrow money from my folks, but I needed to take out a lot of money after this move to College Station. I've had a lot of living expenses (security deposit for the new place, furniture, insurance, etc.) and the university is taking its sweet time with disbursements. My parents don't mind because they know Hawaii bled me dry, but I still kinda feel like a bum.

When I was in elementary school, there was this guy who terrorized me. He insulted me, intimidated me, beat me up, copied my work when he could... He was awful. And, most notably, he had the most horrific body odour I think I've ever smelled. It's as though he slept in old hockey bags. I am not exaggerating when I claim you could smell him several feet away.

I was out for a walk today and I walked past a guy and (who I presume to be) his girlfriend. I smelled that smell. That horrible, horrible odour exuded from one of those two. And memories of elementary school flooded back, along with a hitherto unknown lingering hatred for that former classmate.

This isn't even really a rant, I guess, so much as a... Really weird thing that happened.

Interview got rescheduled for tomorrow after I drove all the way there. I'll have to wake up and go even earlier just to be sure I don't hit the same delay again. I've also got this wicked knot in my back or something. Moving my right arm has been hurting the area just under my shoulder blade. Hopefully I can just stretch it out and keep it easy for the rest of the day.

Still though. Ow.

Oh well.

I'd had a nice schedule arranged for this semester, consisting of a graduate reading seminar, an upper division history class, and Spanish. The typical reading seminar requires you to read a book every week and is the most demanding. As a graduate student, those upper division classes require you to do the same work as the undergrads along with a somewhat longer term paper. Spanish is incredibly easy because I already know French; it's my "relaxation class" for this degree. The workload for this schedule would have been easily manageable, and I could have juggled school and work and had some free time on the side.

Then I had a meeting with my faculty advisor. He suggested that I drop the undergrad course to take an anthropology seminar. That seminar is relevant to my focus and is only offered once every two or three years. Okay, no problem. I just needed to switch to a different Spanish section because the time slots conflicted. Two seminars and Spanish isn't a problem. In fact, that's exactly what I had all last year. I'd be reading a lot but Spanish still wouldn't require that much work. Another good thing about language courses is they don't consist solely of stressed out graduate students. It's often a link to the real world, where people actually have fun and go out for the weekends.

Then I got an e-mail from the department's graduate chair. I absolutely had to take a historiography seminar that is required for all incoming students. Never mind the fact I'd taken that same course when I got my MA. My advisor tried to talk to the professor to get me out of it, but no dice. I had to drop Spanish because there's no way I can do three seminars and a language on top of all that. I want good grades this semester because it'll make it easier to get an assistantship later on, and I won't be able to do that if I'm taking on too much. So I have not one seminar (which would be easy), not two (challenging but still manageable), but THREE. It's likely I'll be reading three books a week and probably working. Goodbye free time.

God tomorrow is gonna be pain... First a full day at work in the elementary school where I'm substituting, then a quick drop home to shower and change clothes, drive three hours for a job interview, drive three hours back... with any luck I'll be home around 10pm. THEN I have to prepare the classes for the next day. Motherfucker...

I hate waiting for responses to my job applications. I just applied at a local hospital for a desk clerk position (which I'm overqualified for) and am anxiously waiting for a call. This is a job I'd like to get since it will be perfect experience I can add to applications once I complete my Health Information program (of which almost all places ask for 1 year experience hospital/clinic setting experience). I would have much preferred a Health Information assistant position, but the only one available is a 45 minute drive away.

Ah well. Still waiting nervously and crossing my fingers.

I haven't slept AT NIGHT for two consecutive nights since the first full weekend of August. I can sleep during the day just fine, but at night I'm hosed. I've tried the "stay awake 24+ hours until the next night and even then I might be able to sleep for 2 hours and then wake up until mid-morning or mid-afternoon the next day, then crash. Sleeping pills, due to an anxiety disorder issue, are not a possibility.

Please, please, if the garbage bag in the kitchen garbage can is full, do not just start a new bag and ignore the full one - that way leads only to bad things, like mold. And wildlife.

This one is more of a question than a rant, but why is it that I can run WoW or SCII on full graphics while simultaneously streaming a movie off of Netflix in my main browser and downloading adult materials in my secondary browser, and have MS Office and Acrobat Reader open in the background and not overtax my computer; but when I load Farm/Frontier/AnythingElseVille, all of my other programs pause until the load is complete, and if my fiance does the same thing on her laptop, the Wii gets kicked off the wifi? Seriously, is Flash that much of a resource hog?

Stupid Flash. Maybe Apple wasn't so completely out of line for refusing to put it in iOS. If my gaming rig can't handle the resource demands, I'd like to think an iPhone would have even less of a chance.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the forum member that commissioned three paintings from me. I sent them off weeks ago...haven't received my money or heard if he even likes what I churned out.

I'm getting edgey...again.

Oh, minor rant: Thanks for upgrade to my iPhone app, Pandora. It's a gray, gloomy day outside, and I can't listen to my Midnight Syndicate or Fields of the Nephilim stations for more than three songs and it crashes. If not for the Silent Hill soundtracks and All Mine Enemys Whispers on my iPod, I would be very hostile towards you, and may even write you a note with downright terse language included.

TERSE I SAY!

Right there with you, mon ami... I sing the Marine Corps Hymn though. Will be adding the Ballad of Serenity shortly (she likes watching Firefly with me. *grins*)


My rant: My AC is out. Again. I hate the South. *drowns in puddle of condensation and sweat*

When I rearranged my schedule I had to order new books. I ordered a bunch of them on Wednesday off Amazon and they were scheduled to be delivered on Friday. That was perfect because it gave me the weekend to read and I would've been done when those two seminars met again next Wednesday. I had to go to a new history grad student orientation yesterday so I was out all day. That normally wouldn't have been a problem because UPS would've just dropped the package off at my door. But for some reason they wanted a signature and of course they arrived while I wasn't there. So I'm losing three full days of reading and won't receive the books until Tuesday because of Labor Day. Knowing my luck with UPS in these parts, the box will be mislabeled and I won't receive it until around 7 in the evening. Tuesday night is gonna be a bitch.

The good news: After a whole lot of backpedaling, schedule conflicts and negotiating, I got the group together for our first session of Changeling: The Lost.

The bad news: All five had incomplete characters, so I had to help 'em finish filling out their character sheets - and then we only had an hour left to play. Too short in any case :(

The good news: We decided to watch Porco Rosso instead. Plus, everyone felt good about their characters, and they are a decent group, all in all (a former child soldier turned bloodthirsty bruiser; a seductive young scoundrel; a zephyr-like physician with an occult bent; a cowardly young deer-man; and a proud, radiant gunman). AND everybody agreed to come in next time :)

Okay, I really suck at ranting tonight...

Bargh... Sometimes I wonder if I was as loony when I was 12: had two 6th-grade classes to teach today, and I had included a very ordinary, run-of-the-mill "Listen and repeat" exercise as part of their oral exercises.

I had to explain the concept of "Listen and repeat" three times, very slowly, in Finnish to people who have studied English since the third grade. Five frickin' times for the other group!

I mean seriously, the students just sat there like a bunch of dumbfounded cattle, looking at me with eyes completely devoid of any kind of effort. I swear, I could hear a faint 'Moo...?' rising from the eerily silent classroom.

Oh well, it's Monday...

So, I'm officially an idiot.

When looking at the cost for international programs, do not assume anything. My misreading (mis-assuming?) of currency is going to add another few hundred to this Nepal thing.

New Zeland Dollars < American Dollars

Not that big of a deal, but still a bummer, and reminds me of how stupid I can be.

ahhhhhhh!
pass if your gonna /mitchell

I hate it when Im driving the speed limit and some jack off behind me decided he just has to drive faster so he passes me. Does he pass quickly? no! he passes at an asininely leisurely pace that results in me having to slow down when i come to vehicles going slower than I am. So let's sum up, the person going the speed limit has to SLOW DOWN for the asshole who is speeding. Fuck that noise. If i had shot gun....
