So I went and saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy yesterday. Twice - once with David, once with Lilie, and I'm going to see it again on Sunday with Megan.
I can't believe I didn't think to bring a towel.
I could slap myself.

Erika - I Don't Know
I'm not a baby anymore
I'm not as innocent as before
I see it in the mirror in my room
And I could feel it stronger in my soul
But I'm not so ready for this world
Now I see things I didn't see before
I need an explanation tell me more
Why I'm in love now
I don't know
How can I live forever?
I don't know
Where can I find the heaven?
I don't know
What is going to happen
I don't know
Why I'm in love now
I don't know
I live through my diary
And I read
There are my little problems
Nothing
I want to live my feelings
Day by day
I let you give emotions in my way
On a side note, the possible implications are profound.

Weird Dreams
So, those weird dreams that I keep mentioning: Here they are.
Lemme think...
Okay, first, the one with Mindy.
I was in some big space. A building. Except it was made completely out of stone. And it was *big*. I was walking along, when I noticed Mindy sitting on some stairs. Not like apartment or house stairs, just a few leading up to a slightly higher ground. I think she was eating some pizza. She invited me to sit down next to her, and I did. We talked a little bit about life, and she started to cry, and apologized for everything that had gone on between us. I apologized too, and we embraced.
Overall, I mean, it wasn't a really weird dream. Other than it had Mindy in it, and featured an activity not likely to happen.
Next weird dream.
I was working at a moving company. I think I might have had some slightly higher rank than the other two people there. One of them told me they were going to go help Lilie move real quick, and I thought it was a nice gesture. He came back about half an hour later, his hair all matted, his clothes messed up. That was when I found out they were sleeping together. I went outside, and she was standing there, but I walked right past.
I should mention that the guy in question was... old. Really old, and ugly, and greasy, and just disgusting. It's not her sleeping with someone else that made it such a horrific dream, it was the guy in question. That, and I thought he was just helping her out, while everybody else knew, and was laughing at me about it. Fun times.
Next one.
This one was earlier. I was a pirate. It was awesome. I think I was a second-in-command or something. I don't remember much, but I do remember being with my pirate gang in some huge underground cavern, on a dock situated on an underground lake. There was some rival pirate gang chasing us, and they outnumbered us greatly. So we ran off the dock, but unbeknownst to them, we caught ropes that were hanging off the dock. They went charging past and into the water (It was a really high dock.)
I had another dream right before the pirate dream, but I can't really remember it. Shame, 'cause I think it was really interesting.

A little piece of heaven, baby, a place to call my own
So, I'm re-installing WoW right now. It's been freezing up while playing - I mean the computer, completely, not just the game. I've already run various scans - ad/mal/spy ware, virus, updated my graphic drivers, run a few different system scans. If this doesn't work... well, I'm not completely sure what's next. I don't really want to reformat my C drive or reinstall Windows XP. So I hope this works. Would have done this sooner, but I had to wait for Jarrod to get back from whereever he was; my disks were still over there from when I installed the game on his computer.
So, in the interim...
First, work. We've lost a ton of people, and have been hiring new people rapidly to try to fill those gaps, in addition to gearing up for the summer. Let's see...
Right before Spring Break, we lost like eight people - Katie, Shelley, Emily, the other new girl, Drew, Ashley, and two others. Can't really remember who else. Katie went to Slaughter. Ashley and Shelley just quit; Drew was mistakenly fired (and subsequently re-hired). Emily was the new girl hired on Monday; she was really cool and picking everything up, but for whatever reason, she quit on Thursday. We've also recently lost another clump of people. Jenn got fired, Frank got fired, amongst others. So, who do we have now?
Kitchen:
Ray:
Still the big dog in the kitchen. Despite having stepped down from being a manager, he still opens once or twice a week - which is nice, because one of those shifts used to be mine, and I don't particularly like opening.
Freddie:
Freddie's still Freddie, though he's more prone to getting pissed off at me lately. Of course, that might be my fault; meh. He's going to be leaving in August (?) when his lease expires, to move up to Austin and move in with his girlfriend Lauren. So I'm excited for him.
Larry:
Larry's going to be moving to days, since he ended his other job, and picked up another one with a different schedule. Other than that, he's still the same. Got a rather nasty burn on his stomach a few days ago when the grease trap fell out of the vent and splashed into the fryer, spilling grease onto his stomach and a little on his cheek. Luckily, it wasn't *that* bad, but he did stand in the walk-in freezer for a bit with mustard on it (Don't ask.)
BJ:
BJ's a new cook we picked up a while back. He's great - already knows how to do the boards and has no qualms about doing so whenever asked, and has a good sense about when to do it when we don't.
Mark:
Mark used to work at the other Sonic, and it shows. He's another good cook, picking things up quickly.
Filèmon:
A new hire, without previous experience. Seems to be going okay so far. His first day, we didn't have a shirt in his size, so he had to cook in the shirt he came in, which looked kind of funny.
Tomas:
Still lazy and perverted.
Andrew:
Still here - got mistakenly fired again when the message didn't get relayed to Dave about his child being born. But I love working with him.
Albert walked out in the middle of a shift without notice or explanation; Frank got fired one Sunday when he called in and said "I partied too much last night and didn't get enough sleep."
Front:
Members of the old crew that are still there: Allison, Erica, Tracy, Megan, Emily, Lacey, Cat, Adam, Jessica. I think that's about it.
New:
Krystle:
Chelsea's friend, she's... kinda stupid. She'd be really cool if she wasn't. Cute voice (she's the one on my voice mail), cute face/body... but a total idiot. For shame. At least we've got her working on the boards.
Amanda:
This is the girl in this round of hirings that I've been accused of liking (at least it's not *every* new carhop now). All I said is that she was attractive. Anyway. She used to be a stripper, and is really cool. Had two incidents with customers already, but neither was major - luckily. We do get along pretty well, which is nice.
Morgan:
She's one of the older new people, hired not too long after Krystle. She's alright, I guess.
Brandi:
Adam's girlfriend. I like her a lot better than him - she's a hard worker, doesn't screw around or mess with people that are having bad days.
Brenda:
She's almost 40. But she came from another Sonic, and I like working with her. The only annoying thing is her tendency to call everybody "Hun". I *hate* that. A lot.
Courtney:
Bruce's little sister. I like working with her as a carhop, kind of. Shared background and stuff is always good, though her constant talking - while nowhere near as bad as Jessica - does get annoying.
People I don't have an opinion on yet: Natalie, Samantha, Staci.
My schedule's changed, so now, I'm usually opening Tuesday, then doing 5-C Thu/Sat/Sun. That'll go up once school gets out, but I hope to keep Fridays off. There's a rumor that Dave's going to leave and Javi will get the store. That'd rock, and I'd probably step up to first assistant.
Dave... argh. I still hate him with every fiber of my being. He has a tendency to call me before shifts on Thursday and Saturday to give me a rundown on stuff that's going on - which is nice - but he'll ask me how I'm doing, how school's going, that kind of thing. Which really bothers me. He invited me to go flying with him a while back, and I was seriously considering it, though I ended up sleeping through the time period in question.
So, that's work. Not quite as in depth as I had planned, but I think it kind of catches up everything I"ve missed. At least now, when I throw out Amanda's name, it won't need that much explanation. Oh! I think Allison and I are going to start hanging out some. Maybe. We *were* going to go see Sin City on Friday, but I woke up about five minutes before the movie was about to start, and she left by the time I got there (about three minutes after the movie was supposed to start). I talked to her Monday evening and straightened everything out, and we had a nice chat. So we'll see how that goes. I just have this memory of Kenny's party - the one I kissed Lilie for the first at. She had pulled me aside to talk to me about what was going on with JD, and to give me some advice, but - and I think this is mostly the alcohol talking, but still - started telling me what a great guy I was, and eventually broke down in tears. She composed herself fairly quickly, but it was a weird moment. Anyway. Oh, and I let Megan borrow The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and she seems to be enjoying it. I think we might go see it when it comes out. I mean, I'm supposed to go see it with Lilie, and I have every intention of doing so (which means I might see it twice, if both work out), but I'm not a hundred percent sure that she wants to. But that's another story, one I don't know if I have the energy to tell right now.
So yesterday, Carrie IM'ed me. Almost completely out of the blue. It was really cool. We hadn't really talked since... well, since around September or so. And even then, it had already been growing sporadic. But we caught up on what each other were doing, talked for maybe half an hour (it's hard to remember, 'cause Terri called near the tail end of the conversation, so I was talking to both of them for a while. But anyway. She broke up with that guy she had been seeing the last time we talked, and is seeing some new guy. She's about to start working at UPS, which is cool. But it's the stuff about us that was cool. Some choice quotes (all unedited):
I mean, it's so weird. We haven't really talked in over half a year. There are parts of her that I've forgotten, with everything that's been going on, and things I can't forget. That sounds weird, I know. I mean, if both of us did long distance - which neither of us do - we'd so be dating right now. Well, we would have; dunno how long it would have lasted. I"m gong to write her a really long letter and surprise the crap out of her. I've been half-heartedly thinking about making a trip out east - visit Rose while she's in Florida, 'cause I know she'll miss everyone here (not really, but she's been bugging me to promise that I'll come visit), *maybe* Terri, though it would be weird, since she lives with Ed, Carrie in Kentucky. But I don't think it'll happen. It'd be cool, though.
Oh, speaking of which, Terri has re-emerged as well. She's been calling me a lot, and we talk. About life, about us, about everything. It's... good. We're just, well, I guess the best way to put it is transparent to each other. There are no barriers between us. It's the kind of relationship that I hope to have with whomever I end up with. I finally got the dates for when she'll be visiting, which is cool, so I can take at least part of that time off. Probably won't get all four days, but two consecutivelty would be great.
Finally talked to David; he's coming down on Friday, and we're going to start looking for a place. His price range is a little higher than mine, but based on preliminary discussions, I think we'll be fine. I'm so looking foward to finally moving out, though I don't think it will help all the things it could.
(Wow, I'm writing some really vague, poorly constructed sentences tonight. It'll pass as I get back into the swing of things. Bare wth me).
Mom insists on having this bizarre 'Moving-out Party'. I wasn't consulted at all, though it will be bearable. Jarrod's going to be out of town, though Rose said she could make it. Lilie's up in the air. David might come down as well. I'm really not sure what to expect, though Mom said something about "Eating pizza and giving you a hard time." Frankly, I'm sick of being the person in groups that's always 'given a hard time.' I know it probably stems from who I act, so I'll be examining that in days to come. But anyway. I'm getting the big speakers that are on top of the wall unit right now, and am considering buying a queen-sized bed. I *love* being able to stretch out at Lilie's and Rose's, which I can't really do on mine. This bed will be a pain in the but to move anyway, so we'll see abou that.
I've covered more or less what I wanted to, 'cept Lilie. I'm still not sure what to write about her. I'll keep it brief: I still like her as much as I ever did; she's seeing someone else, and I wish them nothing but the best of luck. I highly doubt we'll ever get back together agin, but I can hope.
And to quote Lorien, "Hope is all you have."

Wirklich sein
Wow. Apparently, I only made like 4 - 7 posts (I lost count) during the entire month of March. Man, they were right that I never update my blog. I mean, in my defense, the posts would have started to look awfully repititious -
"Man, work sucks." "Man, I miss Lilie."
"Yeah, still miss Lilie, and work still sucks."
"Status report. Work: Sucks. Lilie: Miss her."
"Yeah, work rocked today, and I no longer miss Lilie at all.
.
.
.
Not really."
So yeah, that's one of the reasons I didn't really post last month at all. Hell, I haven't really posted all that much this month either. But I've still got a week, and I can make up for that lost time. Or something like that.
So, let's see, what can I cover in the ten minutes before I have to go to work? Not much. Really, I can only cover what I want to cover at a later date. Which is what a lot of my posts have been lately, the difference being that I'm actually updating now. So, without further ado:
We'll see how far I get.
In other news, my current WoW lineup is:
But now, I've got to get ready for work.
"Man, work sucks." "Man, I miss Lilie."
"Yeah, still miss Lilie, and work still sucks."
"Status report. Work: Sucks. Lilie: Miss her."
"Yeah, work rocked today, and I no longer miss Lilie at all.
.
.
.
Not really."

- Work: Why it sucks; dossiers on the new people; who left and why
- School: How it's going and why

I Wish You Would - Josie and the Pussycats
This is the place where I sit
This is the part where I love you too much
This is as hard as it gets
Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm here if you want me
I'm yours, you can hold me
I'm empty and achin'
And tumblin' and breakin'
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could
I dream a world where you understand
That I dream a million sleepless nights
Well I dream a fire when you're touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends,
Nothing but good friends?
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I wish you would
This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met
And is this the last chance that I'll ever get
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me

My UI Round-up, April '05
Here's the complete list of UI mods I'm using as of right now:
1337Quests
My mod; it changes the 'elite' tag to '1337'.
AllBagsOpen
Automatically opens all bags when you visit a vendor, the mailbox, etc.
Atlas
Includes maps of many major instances in the game, as well as marking named enemies.
AutoTravel
Allows you to define waypoints, then build paths between those waypoints, then have your character automatically travel those paths.
AvailableOnly
Automatically sets the filter when visiting a trainer to 'Available'.
bc_ActionBarDrag
Disables dragging buttons off the toolbars, with a key binding to toggle that setting.
bc_TrackingMenu
Replaces the standard tracking icon with a button that looks normal - it shows the regular icon that you'd expect to see, except that you can click on it for a list of all your tracking abilities; clicking on one of those changes to that tracking ability. Saves a ton of toolbar space for hunters.
CT_Mod
My main mod pack; has a variety of features, among them: four new toolbars (at least, that's the main use I have for it).
FilterKnown
When browsing recipes in the Auction House, those already known by the character will have their icon colored blue.
FlightMap
While on the world map, mousing over a zone will list all flight paths you have outgoing from that zone. Additionally lists Blizzard's suggested zone levels for each zone on mouseover.
fond (Flippance on Demand) (I had to fix this one)
Allows you to set up macros that call random sayings from a user-defined list, most often for having your character say something weird randomly when casting a certain spell, or a certain class of spells.
Gatherer
Tracks each resource as you harvest it, displaying their locations on both the main and mini map.
Jotter-K
An in-game notepad.
LeetSpeak
Automatically converts your speech going into says or yells into leet-speak.
Lootlink
Creates and maintains a database of every item you've ever seen with any character. Terribly useful.
PlayerLinkMenu
When you click on a player's name in chat, a menu pops up with options like "Who/Invite/Whisper/Target/Ignore".
PVPCoolDown
Displays a small clock that shows how much longer until your flag expires.
SCT
Creates numbers above your character, FF-style, as you take damage.
SquidMod
Replaces the gryphons on the edge of the UI with squid. Or Murlocs. Recently added racial theme packs.
Titan
A single bar along the top of the screen, which can display bag space, moeny, the time, FPS, latency, and is coded to allow for additional plugins.
TitanClassTracker
A titan module that tracks various reagents for the spellcasters, and shards/stones for warlocks.
Wardrobe
Allows you to switch almost automaticlaly between user-defined sets of equpiment.

The way I wish you would
Work was bad tonight. More on that later. If I ever get around to posting that mega-update I always talk about, that is. It's coming one day. I mean, *bad*. If I was the kind of person who drank, I'd wake up tomorrow morning in someone's bathtub with no recollection of anything that happened after 12:30 am.
In other news, I'm making progress. Sort of. I almost didn't cry tonight. Which is good. It's progress I have to make, but that I certianly don't want to make. However, that decision was made a long time ago, was completely beyond my control, and hopefully, one day, I hope I truly understand all the reasons why. Of course, I highly doubt that I ever will.
Damn.

It took three whole hours, and five long days
Lots of stuff going on right now. Definitely gonna move out, as soon as David is ready. Might be sooner than initially expected, which is good. Lilie came back from Houston with a huge headache, I took her some aspirin at like 1 in the morning after work, and was invited to crash there, but I couldn't because of stupid Dave and the crew he gave me Sunday night. Argh.
Lego Star Wars: The Video Game is ridiculously awesome, and the entire design team deserves, at the very least, copius amounts of oral sex.
Janelle's also going to be moving out, probably a month or two after I do. I'm not sure how Mom's going to handle it. I think she'll talk to Gip a lot. Or call us all the time. Or both. She's also throwing a 'Moving-out Party' for me, which is... odd. It'll be bearable, though, 'cause both Jarrod and Lilie are coming. Terri's going to be down for a few days in June, going to a cousin's wedding in San Antonio. Sounds like she'll probably stay a few days in town as well. That'll be cool, get to see her again. Ooh, just realized I'll probably have moved out by then. Interesting.
Dave might be leaving the store, which would mean Javi would become GM, and I'm pretty sure I'd become first assistant. That'd be cool, if it wasn't so sad.
Kind of a sporadic update. One of these days, I'll get a massive update together.
Possibly.

Weird dreams
Just had two weird dreams during my afternoon nap; in one, my mom and I had it out completely, nothing much more to tell there; the other was about Mindy. Had a really bad one about Lilie a few days ago. Hope to post the last two sometime soon.

'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough
It appears the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
I forget where I heard that. US History? Babylon 5? Anyway.
Few quick updates - have to leave for work in fifteen minutes or so. I hate opening, but all things considered, it's the preferable Dave shift during the week. I'd much rather open than work tonight, for instance.
Work has been sheer hell lately. The massive turnover that occurded during Spring Break has continued. Just this weekend, we lost another three people - Chelsea, Lindsey, and Chris. I managed Sunday night, and it was terrible. The new people are doing a good job, all things considered, but they're still *new people*, which means they're inexperienced. It's going to be a while before I have another awesome shift where I barely have to do anything other than fountain, because everyone else is really good and knows what they need to do. Ah, well. I mean, right now, we have how many new people? Lemme think... Brandi, Brenda, Morgan, Amanda, Ashley, Daniel - that's only six, but we have another three to five coming in, and that's not factoring in the three people that just quit, or Janelle and Freddie leaving before too long (Janelle much sooner than Freddie), or things of that nature. I'm just getting tired. I'd like to take some time off. I was almost offered the chance to take a road trip with Rose to Florida, but it looks like her parents will be driving her. Damn.
Terri and I have been talking again. In fact, I sat there for about twenty minutes as she cried about her current relationship being comfortable, but not love, and how she always swore she wouldn't settle for that, but that she's afraid she is, especially because of her daughter.
Things with Lilie are, well, not terribly different than they've been for the last few months. She's still with Scott, and things seem to be going swimmingly, which is good. Whether or not people believe it, I'm glad she's happy, even if it's not with me. I mean, I won't lie - I do still have strong feeling for her, as strong as they've ever been, and I would still jump at the chance, but I know that it's proabably not coming. I still can't say it without hedging it, though.
I think that deserves its own absurdedly long post. Hell, I might even finish the girlfriend saga that I never did - the rest of Mindy, Suzie, and the incidentals - Heather, Sara, Melissa, Leslie, and Dru. Or maybe not. We'll see.
I've managed to say not nearly enough on any of the given subjects I had planned on broaching. Good times.

Suerte que mis pechos sean pequenos y no los confundas con montanas
Meant to do an update this morning before heading into work, but I kind of got caught up playing God of War. It is pretty good; not quite sure yet if it's worth all the hype, but it's fun nonetheless. However, I should have an update later today. I know *I* have tingles down my spine at the mere thought of it.
Or something like that.
All I can say, things have really sucked ass lately. By my approximation, a metric fuckton of ass. And that's a lot of ass, believe me.
