The Inner Thoughts of Todd Jumper

My daily journal for my personal website. BLOG is short for "web log." Here I share my daily thoughts, interesting events, weird dreams, spiritual encounters, or just life's crap.

Testing testing... :(

My web server was being upgraded with some new Microsoft servers and I was not able to upload for a few days, hopefully they have it fixed now.

I got a 94% on my quiz yesterday - that makes me happy seeing how I got a 60 on the one before. I was really feeling out of it earlier this week, and could not concentrate or stay awake from head pain and fatigue. I ended up coming home early. Now poor Carrie is suffering from a bad cold, and I hope she gets better soon. She had a decent birthday on the 30th, I made her a cake and got her the Vin Diesel movie she wanted. Then her friends at work made her a cake too, so she got three cakes this year ;)

The kids were cute on Halloween, sorry I did not get pictures but I guess I could just dress them up again. Katelyn was an alligator, Jacob was an M&M and Ariel was a pack of lifesavers, all simple but cute stuff. I am glad they are almost out of candy because that just made them crazier than normal.

I'm feeling more comfortable being around other people now, as I used to be before I had a hard time talking to others, but I went outside for lunch and sat with some classmates at the picnic table and started conversations with people I don't know. You may not think its a big deal but if you known how I was for years it was a big deal to me. Overall everyone in my class I have met so far are really nice people, and its not the same as high school where groups of people would hang in 'clicks' and not invite me to sit with them. You had the preps, the geeks, the troublemakers, and I always ended up at the table with the outcasts and kids no one else wanted to sit with, course they probably needed my friendship the most. But now everyone has the same goal and focus and as adults they all get along, and it breaks down barriers when you have to massage everyone in your class ;P

We gave our kitten Tom away to a family that has like a little cat farm, he should be happy where he is. We kept the kitten I found in the rain, named him Nemo and he's a really nice lap cat, one of the first cats that has actually not run away from me. I almost hit a solid white cat pulling into school yesterday, so whats that mean when I white cat crosses your path?

I'm back ;)

Sorry I missed writing in my blog for a few days. I was really feeling out of it for about a week, and had to leave school early on Tuesday from extreme fatigue and head pain. But I did a lot better today and got a 94 on my quiz, and forced myself to socialize more ;) actually ate lunch with people outside for a change.

I forgot to get pics of the kids in their halloween costumes but I could probably just dress them up tomorrow and get a pic online. Jacob was an M&M, Ariel was a pack of LifeSavers and Katelyn was an alligator. Simple but cute costumes.

I am glad their candy is just about gone because they were more nuts than usual.

We gave Tom away or perhaps I already wrote that, but we kept the kitten we called Nemo. Nemo is more of a lap cat and is the only cat I have met in years that does not run from me. He climbs up my back and crawls onto my lap or plays on my keyboard as I'm trying to type.

I stubbed one of my little toes so bad last night, its all swollen and dark purple now and had a hard time walking on it earlier.

I accidently got drunk off my butt the other night on my father-in-laws home made wine. I woke up on the floor around midnite then woke up again around 3am, not sure how I got on the couch, but the kitten woke me up with knocking the lamp over. Only had 2 glasses of it- guess I just am too sensitive. Carrie thought it was funny though.

Poor Carrie is stressed out and has a bad cold, hope she gets better soon.

I may have to get a part time job soon, as bills are tight and I have to come up with a payment for school immediately or I will not be allowed back by the 10th. Figures, I just had some money from selling my comics books but it went to other things, I can't believe I forgot about the payment. I don't know if I will be able to handle a part time job and school at the same time, among other things, but if it must be done it must be done, just hope it is not something I hate too much. I really hate getting paid less than what my time and or intelligence is worth.

Goodnite
