Posts are lacking… so is time.

I must appologize for my severe lack in posting as of late. Since I’ve been home from Dallas, most of my time has been spent dealing with moving preparations. I’m fortunate I started when I did… I had no idea how much was involved in moving one’s life completely to a new area of the country. That is actually kind of a missnomer… I had no idea how slow people were in the service industry. For example… I went to the bank to close my savings and checking (since my old bank doesn’t exist in North Carolina) and it took about an hour just to get anything done. Then of course the next day I checked the bank and my savings wasn’t closed and my car payment (through the same bank) was still scheduled to come out of my (now empty) savings account in a couple days. Compound similar issues to this by all the things you have to do to move and thats what my life has been like for 3 weeks.

There of course have been some good things come about: My new TV for one. I’ve also bought about a nifty “futon sofa bed” (its like a futon except it looks like a couch and is much more comfortable to sleep on) and some other furniture which should hopfully meet me in North Carolina. [By the way… my move date is September 1, 2008 for anyone else who wants to ask.]

Other than spending an egregious amount of money… I haven’t done much outside of getting ready to leave. Theresa and I have spent a lot of time together bouncing back and forth between her parent’s and my mother’s house. We did get to go down to Columbus one last time. That turned out to be a great weekend. I had dinner with the Gannons and the Martins, got a chance to see Maaz, and finally went boating with dad and Tara (we were rained out for July 4th).

I know I said I’d comment on QuakeCon… but I don’t really know what to say. It was definitely better that I thought it was going to be… enough so that I actually want to go again next year. I don’t know that there was a “best part” of the trip, but I did really enjoy the entire vacation. However, I learned some things I would rather not have known. Not necessarily things that bother me, but things that change my opinion about some people.

Hurrah!

Still Alive…

I love the portal end-game song Still Alive. It seems a lot of people are coming up with rewrites of it, which is amazing.

Lyrics from a GPS version (on a friend’s blog).

There was an amazing one about the hacking of the Wii, I shall try to find it now.

And so… it begins…

My graduation party was amazing and I really don’t think things could have gone any better. Theresa thinks that there may have been too many people, which I can see since I only talked to most people for a max of 5 minutes, but to me that worked out to my advantage since I only talked to most people for a max of 5 minutes. Mike, Tim, March, Keith, Brian, and Ben all showed up, a few others didn’t, but we had a great time anyway. Theresa had some friends come too, which Ben seemed to enjoy their company more than mine. The Gannon’s (well… Mrs.) and the Martins also came which made me very happy.

I now have nothing to do… Actually, I’m going to try to get my dad a new cable box since his is only “kind of” functional and get him the right remote for his TV since the store didn’t give him the right one (over a year ago), but beyond that I have nothing to do. Which is nice. I’m going to see if I can go to a concert with Tim (which I still don’t know the day or where to register for :/ ) and go back to Columbus is a couple weeks to visit people. I’m also pretty sure my mom will find some yard work for me to do.
