I'm not ready for Fall yet!!!!!!!

I noticed the leafs in my backyard changing color today. Summer this year was way to short. I didn't do half of the things I wanted too, but I did do some cool stuff I hadn't planed on doing, so I guess it all worked out. I'm taking the next semester off from school so I can save up some, so I'll have more free time then normal after October. Why after October you ask? Well, it's because of my new job.

In addition to working at Ciao! and the Manor House, I now work down at Providence Metropark on the Canal Boat. This job is kicking my ass, but it is awesome! On a typical weekday, I get there at 10am (takes me about an hour to get there), we open the boat and the canal locks, get changed (we have to wear period dress, 1876), start running tours at 11, end tours at 5, close the boat and locks, and leave at 5:30. From 11 to 5 we are outside in whatever weather there is, be it Sunny and 90 or rainy and 60. Needless to say, I am getting quite the canal boat tan. Working on the boat is also a really great work-out. All day I'm jumping on and off of the boat and canal locks, hauling ropes around, and steering the boat (which is done with the legs). The first time I had steering, I did it for all five runs we had that day, and I was really really sore the next day. But, like I said, it's an awesome job and I'm having a blast with it.

OH, and I ordered a new computer today! Within a week, I shall have my very own G3 iMac! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! It's all cute and totally AWESOME! Hehehe.......

Not much other then that going on right now. Looking forward to going to a Ren. Fair with Maggie and assorted guys this year. Perhaps I can get one of them to wear a kilt........

Congrats on your purchase of a piece of crap boxed in colorful plastic. I hope it allows you to accomplish all of the serious graphics projects and video editting that would be the only excuse for buying a mac.

Look Dr. Fryer, DO NOT trash my Mac! Just because you believe everything you hear about Macs's does not make them bad computers.

Either shut up and deal with the fact that Mac's are good computers and that some people like them, or do some research and maybe USE ONE before making rash judgments about things!

Hi. Uh... Do you happen to know where I can find a cute readhead that likes yoga and enjoys cake? If you could direct her over to my blog and have her drop me a line over there, I'd be much obliged. Thanks. ;)

As I said on my own blog. I have used Macs, I have done research, more than most people I know. Have you ever known me to spout a belief without research when I wasn't just trying to be inflamatory.

Whether you want to have an intellectual debate or not, DO NOT make fucking assumptions about my beliefs, thoughts, and actions without actually doing your own damn research.

Do you honestly think a Management Information Systems student, who builds computers, and got a minor in Systems Analysis hasn't done research on the topic!? WTF!

Leave your personal insults out of an organized debate.

Ok, this thing is getting way out of hand. Nowhere on your blog did I see any statement that said you had ever used a Mac. The only thing I saw that related to it was the comment you made after I had posted mine.

I did not mean to insult you, so there was a bit of my bad considering the language that I used. I did not mean to offend, but I was in a bad mood just then, and it came out in the wrong way.

Hopefully this will stop what has been going on. Macs rock, but I respect Windows all the same.

Cake, kilt, period dresses and steering with your legs...is anyone thinking what Swayer's thinking?

So now you're putting down Linux???!!! Apologize for that! hehehe. Kidding. Linux is cool, though... User friendly. But that's just me.
