Almost all my coworkers, my best friend, and I all celebrated the 4th together down town atop my best friend's roof. She lives in Beacon Hill while overlooks Boston's firework display. The were really cool despite the lack of wind to clear the smoke up. While we were waiting for the fireworks to start, we played poker. It was quite a feat because we were crowded around a coffee table in a small sized room. Regardless, it was a lot of fun (well, except I also lost $5).

On Tuesday I have 10 relatives coming to visit me. Including Honey And Papa, The Fosters and The Moore/Mohrs... I can't wait, it has been to long since I've seen them all. I worked extra last week so that I can take some time off while they are here (considering I am lacking PTO due to the Australia trip, and want to save what I still have for My Sister's baby... oh by the way, I haven't mentioned that because I wasn't suppose to but now I can! My sister is pregnant! YAY! She is due on Christmas Eve, which is when I was due as well...) Anyways more on that later, I'll probably have quiet a bit more pictures next week.

Since I graduated I have been really busy... I keep trying to finish organizing my things, but people keep needing my help in far away places. I've been traveling a ton lately, first I was flown out to Ft. Lauderdale for an interview... the next week, I had graduated so I went on a camping trip in Anastasia Park near St. Augustine. The dogs absolutely loved the beach. I bought a fishing license, a pole, lure, etc, and attempted to fish, but the poles we bought were too cheap and the wire would tangle after every cast.

The day after I got back from there, I headed to a celebration that my family had planned for me in Atlanta. It was good to see my aunt, and my cousins. They took me to the Atlanta aquarium, which was really really cool, just a little too crowded.

I got back from Atlanta, and the next day my uncle Mike calls me up and tells me his computer broke. Best Buy wanted $350 to even begin to fix it, so he decided to use frequent flier miles to get me to Birmingham, Alabama. Well, Tallahassee is extremely small, so I had to fly through Atlanta (I was just there the day before). Not only that, he decided he wanted me there ASAP, so he put me on the 6:15 AM flight. Turns out (once we looked at a map, that Birmingham is only a 300 mile drive, rather than the 400+ I thought it was). Well, I get there, and his hard drive was fried so we bought two new ones, I got Windows up and running for him, and finally I used Norton Ghost to make the second one identical. Now if one hard drive fails, the other automatically starts working, and all his files are the same. He also backs up to CD, and uses an online backup program (made by Quicken) to store his files on a server automatically, every night. A little paranoid! he he... It was good to get to know him better, he is my least known uncle.

I finally get home, spend a day trying to organize, when I get a call from Patti asking me to come to Gainesville to cheer her up. Unable to let a friend down, I dropped everything I was doing and made the 2 hour trek to the Gville. I think I have only slept in my bed one night in the last 3 weeks.

Next week is the Facebook conference in San Francisco that my friend Kyle and I are going to. I am pretty stoked about that! Then it is back to Ft. Lauderdale.

Hola friends, Francisca won't stop talking to me on my cell phone so I got out of it by telling her I was going to write here... he he... j/k (I just have to stand outside in the sun in order to talk on my cell phone so it was a pain... she wanted me to talk to her for 3000 hours... but I was like "uh, yeah")

Anyways, I miss my titters, I think I am going to go there this weekend... Roach insists that her new "LCD" is better than my "CRT" (flat screen is better than my big, bulky monitor) but she is uberly wrong...) she wants me to see her's, and she wants me to fix her computer... we might even go all the way down to Orlando because it is the titter sister's birthday... doubt it though, titters has to work...

My Aunt is finally telling the parents at her school about the website... I am really excited, now people will actually be using it... it won't just sit there looking pretty... which of course it is... B) She is also going to start paying me $30 a month to maintain it... B)

Ken's office messed up on my taxes, they told the government that I earned more than I did, so she said she would pay the difference, the thing is, I think the difference is $300 because I actually earned so little that there was no taxes... but yeah... that is still exciting...

Sebastian, the super cool dude, gave me his old GForce 3 (a REALLY cool video card)... it is like 4 times better than my old one... he is super awesome and I thank him...

I am officially broke... I have to get my dad to pay me back for gas that I used to get home...

I sent my resume to Bob Myers (That Human Resource Manager for all of Reebok) he is editing it for me and then sending it off the the "important person" at EA...

I have no food here... I need to go grocery shopping...

I am going to Orlando tomorrow to see my uncle, Joe, and my friend Patti... I haven't seen all of them in way to long... I haven't seen my uncle since my Grandpa's funeral 3 years and a week ago... I miss my grandpa... I never let myself think about him for more than like 3 seconds because I don't want to start crying... I hate saying goodbye... I never have been good at it... I hate change in general... anyways... today it is my dad's birthday... I didn't get him anything... I am broke... I worked on my Aunt's website that she is paying me to do... I love making websites... I wish I could get paid to do other people's... If somebody pays for the site (yeah right) then I would make a Posse page... I found a service that I can make a post thing like this (this being livejournal posts)... just for the "Posse"... if you can still call it that... I am really not in a good mood... I am half way through the third Harry Potter book... I can't put it down at night, I force myself to put it down and go to sleep... I don't know why I am in such a bad mood right now... my heart feels heavy and I just feel like whining and pouting and yelling and screaming, etc... oh well... I'll shut up now...
