Holy crap, its been a while folks. Haha so here I am fulfilling my promise to type a new entry....two months later. Exactly. This ones going out to you guys from the confines of Rampy Hall at Ohio Valley University, room 226 to be exact. Tomorrow will be the last day of the second week that Ive been here, and I gotta say, I love it here. This place is pretty much the perfect fit for me - big roomy dorms, small classes, five minutes away from work. Well okay not after next week, but we'll get to that later. Whats baffling me is the freaking smell. You walk up the stairs and as soon as you make it to the hall youre just nailed by a fairly disgusting odor of which I dont have clue of its origins. And I dont think I want to know. But THEN you walk into the dorm itself and youre welcomed by quite the cornacopia of aromas, and really there aint a one in it thats good. What gets me is I have literally no idea how it got here. All I know is that its gotta go cuz Im not sure how much longer I can breathe it. Seriously its pretty freakin toxic, you folks have no idea. And you dont WANT to have an idea, trust me on this one. But if you can get past that, youll love it here. Its kinda weird cuz I get people all the time coming up to me saying "hey Nick" or "whats up Nick" or whatever and Ive never even seen them before. Im learning that word travels quickly around this campus, very much like Eastern or Fed Hock or whichever prison you did/do time in. I mean its the same kind of atmosphere - theres not a whole lot of people so you know everyone and everyone knows you. The other side of the coin is that everybody knows literally everything about everybody - not a whole lot of secrets go untold at this place. Not that Ive been telling any secrets, just people have been volunteering to inform me about them. Awesome. But seriously folks, I do like it here. But I do miss seeing all you guys, you all should give me a call or something sometime. The cells 517-0748, drop me a line. Id love to hear from you. In other news, I will be unemployed as of this coming Thursday. Yes, you read right - Im not transferring or taking a break, Im leaving the Shoe Dept and all of its affiliates. As much as I need the money, Ill be MUCH happier getting out of there. That place has turned way too many of my hairs gray and its just time for me to find another vampire to suck the life out of me. Rumor has it that Ive got a pretty good shot at as a part-timer at Electronics Boutique where Id be getting good pay and the hours that I want. Doesnt really matter to me, a jobs a job in the end - its always going to rape you of your time and your energy only with different faces and different methods of eating you alive. But such is life. Hmmmmm beyond that, not a whole lot to report on. I think Ill drop it there. Feels good to be typin on here again, I MAY be back eventually. Haha dont laugh, I know. I probably wont. But I do look at it like everyday to see if anyone left any comments, so if youre reading this, send one my way. Ill get you one back this time, no lie. But for all you Facebookers, Im on there now too. Im on the Eastern network so you shouldnt have any problems finding me. Until then. Take it easy... Nick P.S. Im not really listening to Saliva. Just thought Id put it in there cuz it went along with the following post from April of 2005.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY FIRST ENTRY - maybe itll take some of you folks back. Welp I finally decided having a Xanga to post a blog would be a bit easier than using my own HTML, so here it is. First post ever baby! I guess the first place to start would have to be prom. Since I basically decided on Thursday that I wanted to go, I had quite a bit of rushing to do to get ready. Believe me, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME. EVER. You'll end up paying like 30 bucks to take yourself. Anyways, it was a bit too late to get a tux, so I got a suit. I didnt mind, I didnt really see much of a difference. I got the ticket on Friday, which of course is the day before prom. What a huge mistake. But anyways, I dont really regret paying all that for it, cuz I had a really good time. After a morning at the library at OU working on a project due tomorrow, I got home and got all suited up and ready to go. David had invited me to go to the Wild Horse with him, Lance, Sarah Boston, and Kayla Collins. Hehe just finding each was an experience. We were supposed to meet at Eastern at 4 and then just head up together. So I got there a few minutes late, and no one was there. Thinking I might have missed em (but I really had no idea how), I called both Lance and Dave's cells, but couldnt get ahold of either of them. So I was about to just go when I realized I left my prom ticket at home. So after going back and getting it, I started for the Wild Horse. About one minute past the school, I see David and Kayla going the complete opposite direction. So I do a U-turn at Sumner and race back to meet them, only to find that he turned around also. About this time, I was really hoping my nite wasnt gonna go like this. But I just pulled another Uie and followed them up. We got there and sat down, got some drinks, and eventually Lance and Sarah showed up. We ordered, and soon comes in this huge crowd of prom-goers on the opposite side of the room. And yeah, the class of 1957 behind me as well. The food wasnt too special...the "spicy" crusted pork chops arent as hot as you might think. But thats okay. After that...we went to Wal-Mart. I still have no clue why. Actually my flower or whatever fell off, so I tried going somewhere to have someone put it back on. That didnt work out so I just went to Wally World. After fixing the flower myself, I went in and caught up with the others. The ladies were (of course) checking out the shoes and Lance and David were (of course) watching the big screen display.  So after a while we headed to the prom. Needless to say, it was a bit weird walking in on my own. I think I remember like one picture being taken. Hehe Once the party kicked off, it really wasnt so bad. I tried to hang around with everybody, but mainly stuck around with Dave and the others. I had my fill of punch, dancing (hehe), and of course, way too much rap music. I guess Im probably not one to judge, especially if you look at my track record for DJing dances. But yeah it seemed like most of the crowd milled out at around 11:30. We stayed for another 15-20 minutes, before taking off. I went back home, I was getting pretty tired at that point. So I crashed, and that was prom. It really was a great time, Im looking forward to next year. Even tho it wasnt too bad going alone, hopefully Ill be taking someone inside next time. But Ive droned on here for a long ways, as you can see. You can probably read the same story on Lance, Sarah, or Kayla's Xangas if ya want. But anyways Im headin outta here...by the way, if you have Yahoo Messenger, be sure to get me a msg sometime. My contact list is looking kinda pitiful right now. Hehe |
