Wednesday August 2 Yes I am working the day after Ozzfest, am I insane? Quite Possibly. Before leaving for work I told Rachel to give me a call before her dad picked her up. At work on this day it was going to be around 104º due to the 99º weather and the humidity. Because of this we stayed in the office loading machines and such. I did fall asleep twice briefly but no big deal. I had called Rachel to make sure Dan would be awake for when I got home, and surprisingly he was already awake. Around 11:30 Rachel called me to let me know she was heading home, so I wished her a safe trip and finished up what I was doing on my current machine, and when noon rolled around I headed home to go get Dan, turns out I missed Rachel by about 2 minutes. Well Dan and I got his things together grabbed a quick bite to eat and parked at my office so we could take the train into South Station. Trains seemed to be running quite slow which caused us to miss the bus we wanted him to get on. We ended up getting him ready for the 2:15 bus to Portland for his mom to pick him up; before he left I had to leave to return to work, I had already let a boss know I was running a tad late. I was almost back to my stop on the train (probably about 50-100ft out when the train just stopped because there was an emergency a few stops down, it was just one of those days. ah well.:-p. Any way I got back to work finished up the day and headed home. When I got home I relaxed for a while and then met up with my friend’s Dan and Lorrie so we could go for a ride in Dan’s boat. We headed out for a while and then when we were almost to the point we wanted to be at we started to see lightning, it was time to head home, and of course then people started calling telling us that there was a storm and that we should hurry back. So we rushed back, it was getting a bit windy where we were but not too bad. As we got closer to Quincy it became more and more choppy to the point where the waves were becoming quite a decent size and we were getting quite wet from the water. Well we eventually got back to his house, I got some food because no one else wanted the pizza we got offered. Meanwhile we talked about stuff, like things from high school and funny stories of people hiding homework because the person they got it from was annoying them immensely, and then just other goings on. We then tried to decide on a movie but couldn’t find one so we went to blockbuster and agreed that almost every movie sucked however since Lorrie had never seen American History X We had her watch that (I still voted for a Tremors Marathon:-P, however I agreed with this choice).We went back watched the movie, all enjoyed it and then called it a night. I dropped Lorrie off and headed home. It was another good night, however quite a long one.

Thursday August 3 At work we stayed in building again but today we were doing data processing and I got a more thought involved one so that was cool:) Thanks Ellens. After work Stopped home briefly and went to Joe’s to Beat some Halo 2:-D YAY. That was about all of the events for the night.:)

Friday August 4 At work, in the morning Sheryl (one of the secretaries) gave me a big bag of wint-o-green life savers (my favorite of the mint kind) since it was the last time she would see me before I left to go back to Boston (she had the next week off and that was my last week).That day we… well for some reason I can’t remember what we did, and it is quite annoying, I know we went to a school but I can’t remember which one, ah well. At Lunch we went to this new place in the North part of the city the sold home made root beer, and we all had coupons for free large Root beers. We were going there because Bob was meeting up with a good friend of his Sully. Sully is a good man, one of my most loyal disciples, hell he even wrote a pledge of allegiance to me. Any who we get there and the place is packed, and their CO2 is broken so no sodas which means no root beer:(. I ordered a steak and cheese sub, it wasn’t bad a bit pricy though. Half the group went back to the office to eat but Bob, Diana, Sully, Anthony, and I stayed to eat there. We parted with Sully and headed back to the office. On our way to the office we got some news about our checks pay rate changing, because the raise we were told we got a while ago apparently we weren’t suppose to get and that they were going to have us pay back the difference. I was PISSED. During the ride, Anthony looked at me and could just see it in my face. It was bad. When we got back I talked to Nick our boss, who passed the info along to us, where he got his information from, he told us it was from Rich, the department’s boss, and Mullaney, The head of the Business and Payroll Department. I went looking for both of them Rich was in a meeting and no one knew where Mullaney was. Later on I talked to Rich and he informed me that yes our pay rate was going down, however we were not supposed to pay back the difference. I was calmer then. The rest of the day just kind of went by. I then went to my friend Kathleen’s house to install some software for her, so her computer could be finally complete from when I started a week earlier. That went well. I then stopped at home and drove into Boston. I parked at my college and walked to the Pru to attend a Technology meeting I go to once a month. When I got there (about a half hour later than I usually do) there were only two people there one who I hadn’t seen in months (met him my first meeting but then didn’t see him again.) and the other one who had missed the past two meetings who was actually the first guy I had talked to. Shot the shit with them for a while got some info for a few projects I wanted to start (also got a phone call from a friend about laptop purchasing advice), and then more and more people slowly started showing up, some new, some regulars. We talked about a bunch of stuff, I just tried to keep track of it all, and then as the meeting came to a close I headed back towards my college for a party with my friends that are there for summer semester. Before entering I got a phone call from my friend PaPPy about a flash game that needed hacking, and he ended up successfully doing it. GO PAPPY. Well I got into the building as a friend from that room was heading up, and noticed a friend of mine (A fellow Person Helping out with orientation,), who I made sure to wave to later. Any who I got up there and hung out with all of them until about 2am. It was a fun party as always. And of course on the way out while in the parking lot I ended up talking to Kappy for about an hour. I then parted ways with him and proceeded to head home. It always seems like such a long drive when I leave there so tired. That was the end of that night:). Saturday August 5 I woke up at 10:30 and then passed out till 1. I very very extremely rarely sleep that late I HATE SLEEPING LATE, HELL I HATE SLEEP! It was probably because I didn’t get to sleep late after Ozzfest. I began writing a lot of this massive update then. The action of this day happened later on when my ma, my friend Lorrie, and myself met up with my ma’s boyfriend at his friend’s Block party he was holding, Lorrie and I just hung out there for a while talking about random stuff as usual:). Eventually my ma got bored and wanted to leave so we headed home and I took Lorrie out in my car and we drove around randomly through a couple cities just having fun. I had invited Dan to the party as well but he was working, and when Lorrie and I were hanging out we called him but he was exhausted so he called it a night. Anyway Lorrie and I drove around for a while, looking at our old neighborhoods (west Quincy, Dorchester) and some friends areas (Milton). Around 12/1 am (I think) we called it a night, I dropped her off and headed home, she was heading to Plymouth in the morning, :-p lucky her. That was my night.

Sunday August 6 Woke up around 8 am wrote more of this update, talked to my friend Kristina (the one who just bought the laptop). She told me she was having problems with it and that she needed some software for it, so I told her after I did what I had to do I would go check it out. I showered up and headed to my Grandfather’s house because my 92 year old Great Aunt was coming up for lunch and I wanted to at least stop by and say Hi. I went over there and she was a tad late (apparently our cousin who drove her is a notoriously slow driver and late person) any who I said my hellos and talked for a while. Joe showed up at some point and shortly after I said my goodbyes and he and I went to Kristina’s to fix her laptop (I fix he sit there). Well I get there, say hello to her and her company and I began working. After a while of working, and Joe having an “accident” all over her floor, I fixed her laptop (Best Buy forgot to take off her Proxy server so she couldn’t go online) I calibrated her stylus, updated her machine and installed software. That was all set and then Joe and I headed out to finish the night with some more HALO. I even got a hug as payment for my work:). Not much else happened that night. Today Went to work, we delivered machines that we had been working on to all the schools they came from. Went back to the office ordered lunch, I did a quick run to the bank. Did some moving of Files (Hard copy ugh:-p), and we then went to a keyboarding lab to replace some drives and for me to attempt to break our new security software on them, I was getting close but I was told to stop so we could configure things. We went back to the office, and headed home. I came home, relaxed for a while and caught up on my web stuff on other websites, and then yep you guessed (maybe you did at least) headed to Joe for some more HALO:-D (Am I addicted? Is there online somewhere a picture of Joe photoshopped as a Big Pink Bunny?). And now here I am writing this Blog. Have a good Night. This is the end of the massive updates:) FINALLY!!!:-p heheh.

Well On Saturday I woke up around 9am and relaxed for a while. Later I joined my mother in acquiring some breakfast at a local diner. Before Breakfast we noticed that the moving Vietnam Memorial Wall was in town so after eating we decided to stop by and honor it by going to see it. It was quite touching, especially considering the fact that quite a few family members had been in the war and died because of war related illnesses. We were there for a little while, but then decided it was time to leave.

I was at home until about quarter past 1PM at which point I had to leave for a meeting with members of the group I am in at Wentworth so we could plan the activities that we would be doing during the first week for the freshman to participate in. That only took about an hour to do, soon thereafter I headed off to Quincy, where I met up with Samort.

Samort andI hung out briefly playing an interactive visual game revolving around the Movie “The Matrix”. After that brief interlude we were off to the mall to see what Samort could sell, so he could purchase some new things. While at the mall we found out that all the store he wanted to sell them at would do is rip him off, so we left.

We then head back to the domain of Samort. While there we feasted on Pizza while enjoying some visual entertainment projected from Cathode Ray Tubes. We then entertained ourselves with Dynasty Warriors 3. It was fun.
At around 8:15 I got a call from Kappy saying that there was going to be a gathering with the crew from Wentworth and that I should show up. At 8:30 I left Samort’s and headed to join Kappy Sl33py and the rest of the WIT crew back on campus. When I got there I headed up to there room and did my generally unmistakeable knock, and Jackie answered the door. When she answered the door she basically tackled me with a hug, it’s good to know when you’ve been missed:). I headed in and saw Kappy, Sl33py and The Godless Warrior, as well as a couple of their friends and roommates. It was cool being there with them again, and it only got better. I met their friends Adam, and Jeanette, and saw a very Fryedguy and their roommate Brian. Kappy Jackie Adam and Jeanette, played a game of Mario Party that seemed to go on for quite a bit. But they had fun, so thats good. At this point one of the room’s friends showed up, it was Carlos, who apparently they call Jesus:p. After him came two of Sleepy’s hometown friends, one of which was named Mickey and the other one’s name escapes me at the moment. At around 10 Farragher, Deftones, and Eileen showed up, which was awesome. Eileen said hey, farragher was like oh hey! and Deftones was surprised to see me. It was good to see them again. Deftones and I sat and talked about what we would be doing next semester, as Kappy and I did earlier (seeing as we are all (including farragher) all in the same suite). So everyone was hanging out and having a good time. At some point Adam, Carlos, Farragher and I all began playing Super Smash Brothers Melee. I only lost one game out of about 6 (Adam and I were the only two playing after a few games.) This was around the time that Ian finally woke up and joined us :p. He hung out for a few then wandered off. Then Ivan Von Girderboot joined the party. After a little while someone got the great idea to get some fireworks and set them off in the park and it was about midnight at this point. So we headed out and set them off. They were good and everyone out there looked like they had fun, oh did I mention some of them had had a bit too much to drink at this point. We headed back into the dorm and all just hung out for a while.  At around 3:30 I left with Eileen to drop her off at her house then for me to head back home. I dropped Eileen off at her house and then got to go on adventure to get home. After a brief slip up or two I was on my way home. I finally arrived home at about 4:53 and soon after I figured it would be best to call it a night.

Did I mention, I took pictures, however you need the password, maybe if you ask nicely or I feel you are supposed to see them I’ll give you the password. http://gallery.animalicity.com
