August 26th 2002 - Well, I had my first week of school at my new school where hopefully I'll get my BA in their Computer Science major which is geared towards the business end since I don't want to take Calc III and beyond. I'm pretty pissed because I'm taking Calc I, the last math class I think I have to take for my MIS degree and the teacher isn't going to let us use a calculator! How f-ed up is that?! Every SINGLE math class I've ever had has manufactured me and raised me to use this blasted TI-82 so much that I can't even use my own brain anymore, and now they're just pulling the rug out from under my feet and letting me flop on the ground like that fish in the Faith No More video. It's completely unfair, but hopefully if I can find a tutor, I'll at least pass the damned class. Other than that, I went to my Microeconomics class and there's seriously 300 people there! It's one of those huge auditorium classrooms and I've never been in one so it was pretty interesting and new. The class itself sounds pretty fun, and the coolest thing is that my textbook is on the internet so I don't have to buy one! My calc class is also right up there with the coolness since our assignments and stuff are also found on the internet. On the completely vain and shallow end, I love my new school because there are many guys there as opposed to my last one. Too bad I only seem to be attracted to straight guys. =[ Did I miss the orientation on "how to be gay" or something? Because so far I don't seem to have a lot in common with gay people and honestly I feel weird to be around them, almost like I'm on a completely different planet. School 'does' have a group that meets every 1st and 3rd thursday of the month so maybe I'll go to some of those meetings just to see what it's like. I guess it's just my complete misconception of the gay culture as a whole, plus being brainwashed by the media that makes me feel this way. Hm.. on a completely different note.. I got my license renewed! =] It was such a cool day with Liz and she had to take the written exam 'and' the drivers test again since her license had expired a year ago. She did both tests in the span of an hour and we both went to get our licenses, which both have kikkas pictures! It's funny because in this one I actually smiled 'and' my skin is natural skin tone, unlike my previous one where I looked a bit jaundiced for some unknown reason. AND you can't even tell I was mauled by big ol' dog teeth in the face, how cool is that?! To round off our happy day of getting things done, I decided to splurge on a whole lot of DVD's because I just got in the mood to buy them. I ended up getting Clue (because Liz didn't know that was my favorite movie so she got it for my birthday), Labryinth, The Dark Crystal, Hackers, Empire Records, and Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth (because it looked interesting and I like anime). As for my other classes that I've finally had, my C++ class seems so-so at the moment. We were only there for about 2 hours and then I don't go again for two weeks. The crappy thing is that I can't even get to AOL instant messenger! Huh, and now that I remember, I think they took out the games folder so you can't play solitare either! Geez, what a bunch of bastards! It's bad enough that they made the display freakishly huge, coupled with locking out the display option so I can't change it back to a smaller size, so I can't write an email while in class without allowing all the rows of people behind me to read exactly what I'm writing. My Financial Accounting class is a big sellout, and our textbook seems to be written by The Gap. You know.. that clothing store? So a huge portion of the text is centered around The Gap and their particular financial statements, advertising, etc. I didn't pay for school to get advertised to, I paid to learn damnit! Well, I guess I'm off to go teach myself how to do calculus without a calculator. Should be loads of fun. If your definition of fun happens to be insane amounts of information slamming into your cerebrum without any positive reactions such as learning, thus causing you to have a complete meltdown of the brain. - chris
"I still think it would be cool to have a prehensile tail." -- August 22nd 2002 - You know, Eric? I got 'just' the thing to make you feel better about the whole situation. Wanna know what that is? Destiny's Child "I'm a Survivor"! Or perhaps just plain Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"! Why can't Destiny's Child do "Eye of the Tiger"? That would kikkas. Either way, I order you to listen to the child of destiny that is a survivor and feel better! It's a good thing I just happen to have a copy of the song right here. - chris "Why am I such a procrastinator?!?" -- August 22nd 2002- I am too Jane Goodall!! And anyway, someone else decapitated her, SHE didnt send a gorilla to cut off someone's head, someone did it to her. Unless she ordered a gorilla to cut off her own head, which would be odd. But wait, I'm Jand Goodall! So im going to throw my head at you! Yes thats right..Ichabod Chris!!! Jane Goodall is none other than....THE HEADLESS ANTHROPOLOGIST.......IN THE MIST!! I feel bad making fun of such a good woman. I guess she was a good woman, i know next to nothing about her. Other than that Sigourny Weaver played her in the movie. But she also played Lt. Ripley in Ripley's Believe or Not its game over man!! GAME OVER!!! (that was from the second aliens movie, if people havn't seen it. Or wonder where that was from. YOU FOOLS!) Ah, i dont know what to talk about. I cant be funny! Or at least i can, a bit. But other things are on my mind. Kind of sad, kind of optimistic. Just wondering. Nobody knows the trouble's ive been with. Nobody knows but Jane Goodall. But perhaps YOU, wonderful scholars of the internet (okay, a moment's pause. im at the library and there is this woman here with a really cute little girl, she's probably 2 or 3, and she's being loud, its what kids do. But its cute because she's little. And she can see out the window so she sometimes yells "SKY!!" and just being a cute little kid, but this old fart of a rat bastard is sitting here and he kind of turns around and yells "HEY!!" trying to get her to stop, what business is it of his!? If he were looking at me i'd give him serious stink eye. I shall do so..now!!! (glares) Okay back to the story) Well, speaking of wonderful people with wonderful three year olds, im talking about Catherine. Who is now my ex girlfriend, sadly. Okay ya know what. I really dont want to talk about it at the moment. So maybe later. But it aint like anybody reads this so it doesnt really matter, but its still kind of a touchy thing for me. But im going to call her tonight and hopefully figure some things out. sorry to bring you down website. Im sure you'll understand. -- August 21st 2002 - I wasn't mocking your sadness, goof. But I already told you that, so whatever. Contrary to popular belief, everything does not revolve around you so stop tying everything to yourself with string and then expecting it to follow suit with the cosmos. Who do you think you are, G-d?!? And you're not Jane Goodall either, so you might as well stop ordering that gorilla to decapitate me. It won't wor.. - chris "Ooo ooo, ah ah" -- August 17th 2002- Oh FINE CHRIS!!! Just RUB it in!! Oh look, there's Chris, "rub a dub dub lets mock Eric in his sadness...tub!!! Chris will know what im talking about. WONT HE!!! Wow, if you capitlize WONT and HE they look really odd! Like how He-Man must look to all those not in Eternia, where furry diapers and bare chests are all the rage. Take note, ye thrall of www.geocities.com/chrisericus/indexmain.html, you should all watch the new He-Man cartoon on cartoon network, because its kind of cool, even though i think they have a deep abiding love for the grateful dead because they love spinning so much! (grateful dead fans like to spin around in circles, or so im told....) and the greatest movie of all time, or at least in its genre, because the action adventure genre is held by the lord of the rings! The greatest of other genre's is....AMELIE!! The best movie. Greatest movie of all time mayhaps. Its incredibly funny and wonderful and just an all around great movie. i saw it for the first time last night and today i went out and bought it! Even tipped over a shopping cart filled with toddlers and infants and crawled over them to get to the movie! And how great is this movie!? did i want to tip that cart over? Yes. Should i have tipped that cart over? Yes. Its just that simple folks. That simple. Or maybe so complex it seems simple, yet its web of simplicity belies its great complexity. I'm lost. There is another event that has been going on in my life but it saddens me to even bring it up, so i wont. Not incredibly sad, because there may be ways to change it, but we'll see. We'll all see. Sorry, i needed to sound like a super villian there. Maybe ill talk about it later, when the time is right. But who knows. Okay well ive just bummed myself out!! Good going eric. OH my god, i just realized that i havnt added ANYTHING to the FAQ in YEARS!! Well it might just be close to a year, which is really sad. But its more like 8 months. Maybe ill add one right now! go check! but not before i add it. You must learn patience Daniel son. -- "Okay, DON'T check the FAQ because it wouldnt let me add anything, damned computer. DAMNED COMPUTER!!" -- August 16th 2002 - Hi Website. Yeah, yeah, I know. Don't give me that look! I've been busy! What with my license expiring, going to a new school, trying to write essays to get money for my new school, my job, and other things, I've lost track of time and I don't seem to be able to give you the attention you need. I'm afraid we're going to have to break up. Now it's for the best, so don't look all sad lik....uh.. what are you doing with that knife? No website! Bad website! ARGGGHHH!!!!!
Heh, now if the website was a 'real' entity, that's probably what would have transpired. But thankfully it's not so it doesn't really care that we haven't updated in about half a month. But I'm paying for it in karma, and you know what? I have two cavaties!! I don't even 'know' if I have cavaties, but my teeth just hurt a whole lot when I eat, and since that sounds like the symptoms of having cavaties, I'm going to have to go with my gut instinct. The sucky thing is that the dentist can't see me for two and a half weeks! Bastard. Other than that, things are completely awesome. I love my job, which my last day is tomorrow. I put in my application for the new rink season so hopefully I'll have 'another' job in a month and a half. I had a blast working at the pool and a whole lot of fun. Not only that, but I talked to so many people and improved on my "trying not to be anti-social" skills. Last night was really fun though. It was the end of the year bash so a good majority of the lifeguards and cashiers at the pool went to this mexican restaurant where we got lousy service and really strong alcoholic beverages. Then we went to a bar where we played darts and pool and drank some more. I haven't really been drunk in a while now, and I definitely don't drink beer, but last night I did both. And I also never played darts before, but I kicked ASS!! I almost won the first game but I didn't know what I was doing so it was just beginners luck that I was leading way ahead in points. Then I lost a game of pool because I scratched on the 8-ball, and then I played another game of darts where I won. Yay! It was really awesome, and I got to hang out with everyone in a more social atmosphere that 'didn't' have people saying the words "fucking homo". ;] Then we had a little bit of an after school special after we were about to go home. This one lifeguard girl seemed pretty drunk, and she has a boyfriend, and these two guys were totally hitting on her hardcore and just pretty much being sex starved guys who were trying to take advantage of another drunk girl. Well, me, another cashier, and my brother's girlfriend were trying our hardest to try and persuade the girl to go with us and 'not' to go off with these two guys who were talking about being in a hot tub where there was a "no swimsuit" rule. I'm not even that good of friends with this girl, but I'm certainly not going to let her go off with these guys. So after we'd tried to reason with her and all kinds of other things, I figured we were out of ideas so I decided to go for gusto and fake cry because I'm so worried for her. Well, this doesn't exactly go over so well as the girl was kind of getting pissed off at all of us for thinking she couldn't handle herself in her decisions, and I don't think she was buying my act anyhow. The crappy thing is that I was doing such a believable impression that I actually induced myself to hyperventilate and it was pretty weird. I had to lay down on the ground because I was light headed and my entire face was going numb. While the other cashier and my brother's girlfriend were checking to see if I was all right, the lifeguard girl hops into the guys truck and says "Go, Go!" and they drive off. So yeah, that pretty much sucked. I don't necessarily hope she got raped or anything, because that would be horrible, but I sure hope she realized in the morning that we were trying to help her not make any stupid mistakes she'd regret and be grateful we even stayed at all to try and talk sense into her. We seriously tried to get her to go with us for a whole damned hour. We could have gone home and slept. Ah well. So then we went home and I drank a whole lot of water and come morning I felt great. No hangover at all! Yay for water. It kind of sucks that I happened to have such a great time last night because I was 'drunk', but I guess sometimes you need something to loosen you up in a situation you've never been in before to get you to behave more like yourself. Hopefully it won't be another month or so till I add something else to the website. - chris
