Here's Abe.
Friends in Austin know the tall chubby guy who talked to people and did his thing. He was quiet and a little sad sometimes. Don't forget dumpy and useless.
Abe went off to school. Abe's becoming another person. Even Abe doesn't recognize him. It's one of the scariest things he's ever experienced. All of the people here are used to a happy and bouncy Abe, he's outgoing, friendly, and a snazzy dresser. Abe is well balanced and talks to everyone.
Abe is having an identity crisis. The person inside and the person outside are at odds. Changing and morphing, but deep down still the old abe.
Almost nobody here knows who I was, and when i try to explain it they give me a confused look like i could never be that way. It's both maddening and saddening at the same time. They think they know me, and nobody does. The funny thing is, I came back up here, and what happened? I started to change even more.
**************************************************************************************
I wrote the above lines months ago, i had logged in to post something, and it was restored from my last time on... months ago... its been going on longer than i thought. i had forgotten about this.
americana makes so much sense right now.

Well, your friendly neighborhood techie has finally come back to update his modest little LJ.
Since I last updated the horde was chasing me... well... they still are, and i've got the lost weight to prove it (I HAVE MY NECK BACK!!! ITS SO PWETTY!)
I'm starting to settle into a routine here, and to be honest, I friggin love it here, the people are cool, the school is awesome, and i'm feeling the best I ever have. Also, yes, the snake quote is INDEED true, and alli is reporting accurately...
[snake] shut the hell up. people do NOT need to know about that *sulks*
He likes to whine... anyways... on to other business.
While i've been down here, my identity has started to manifest itself in a BIG way... Quirks that started out small have started to become facets and little things I kinda liked to do are starting to become normal. I've learned that i like to be pretty, and have started to dress up alot more... I guess its safe to say that yes, I am a goth, and you know what? I look good as a goth X3.
i'll type more when i can think of it, but for now i'm gonna work on japanese
jaa!

Well I finally am back in Austin, after a FIVE FUCKING HOUR DRIVE FROM HELL AND STUFF.
Get this. I was in traffic from Denton all the way to Austin. It never let up for more than a few miles, then it would slow back down. Even the Dali-fuckin-Llama would be in a bad mood after that much highway congestion. After all of that, I finally got back into Austin and went straight to lovers house and gorged myself on real food. Its amazing the differents a real meal can make after scurrying around campus feeding on whatever was quick enough.
With food in my stomach, and my overall cheery disposition returned after a short bout of "jeezus i hate driving" blues, I am currently relaxing and typing the very entry that you all are reading at the moment. It felt kinda weird to leave to VISIT Austin. I've been here forever, when the fuck do I visit? Also, at the same time, I didn't want to go, because I was scared that I wouldn't be able to return for some reason or another. *chuckle* fears are an interesting creature, no?
The horde has sent me an e-mail saying they eagerly await my return, and would like me to write to let them know exactly when i'm coming back, but i'm too smart for that, i know they just wanna ambush me. So, i'm not gonna reply, heh, that will show them!
(watch, they're gonna end up eating me)

Bah.
Waking up tired is no fun. However, other than that I feel pretty good. Math class was more review over stuff I already knew from my summer class, so I'm feeling good about that. I'm going back to austin today after my last class, so austin peoples, be aware that i'm returning for a couple of days^^
You know, i think its the damn horde thats responsible for my sleepyness... Whenever something goes wrong, its the horde's fault. Its as simple as that.

Hello again from Eagle land!
Today has been going smashingly well, and i've been meeting a ton of new people. I tell you what, this place is alot more diverse than I thought... it is SOOOOO FUCKIN COOL! But asides from my spazzing over my situation, not much has been happening that I would consider newsworthy.
Still waitin for memorial loan confirmation.
Classes going well, and I'm starting a study group for the japanese class, i'm gettin really gung ho about this stuff... but damn I forgot how much I LOVED this language! The people in the class rock and i'm definitely going to ensure that they learn to enjoy and love this language too. The prof is getting better and today she spent more time helping the students and answering questions. So overall the situation is improving greatly.
My metabolism has realized that it can, indeed work (yes, really, its true). My weight has been going down, and my appetite has gotten very normalized (no more binging, yay!). Perhaps I was a little depressed with no school (I know i'm gonna get 'told you so's) but, its definitely easier to be cheerful when your future is in sight... hehe, funny thing, dame fortune.
Until my next entry,
Abe

Wait until you guys hear this.
A couple of entries ago, I was talking about my math teacher, and how he looked like a character from a movie. Well, he still does, but... he's not really my teacher. It's not my fault! I swear the orcs messed with the signs to make me miss my class, they are tricksy and vicious. My real Math teacher, who is female and seems nice, may be a little new to the job... and she might have a pretty good grasp on the english language (read: not exactly fluent)... and i'm kinda scared when I get to parts of the subject that my summer class did NOT prepare me for... but hopefully it will still turn out good, I'll probably have to just study alot more independently. Those damn orc's have done it to me again, they've kept me from a completely smooth semester, DAMN THEM!
On the financial front, I've gotten everything I can get done finished, I hope, but I still have to wait for my emergency loan to go through, so that will be another 3-4 days to wait and see on wether or not I'm approved, but I think I will qualify quite easily.
Japanese is going well, and I really enjoy my class, but Alli was right, the teacher is a little off... don't get me wrong, she's nice and very enthusiastic about her subject, and she was a JET teacher, but when your JAPANESE teacher is AMERICAN, and hasn't even bothered to get pronunciation down right (>< *slams head on table*) somethings amiss... Lets just say I'm glad this is a refresher course for me. She'll tell you when you're doing something wrong, and will tell you what was wrong, but she won't necessarily show you how to fix it... she relies on packets and powerpoint ALOT and... ugh... I miss Oh Sensei and Kato Sensei.... they rocked... *sniff*
[Snake] His hair is everywhere, SCREAMING INFIDEL-- *is smacked offstage*
Anyways... Friends are starting school today (lucky fucks. I had to start on monday! ><) and going back to their school lives and homework, so's I wanna wish you guys luck, enjoy!
Until next time peoples
Abe

Hello again,
Wow, two days, two updates, you all better watch out now, next thing you know frogs will start falling from the sky and an angel with a flaming sword will descend to inform the populace that the world is ending.
But then again, in between classes at school, I don't really feel like procrastinating, I just want to do something, before my mind starts chewing upon itself with great vigor. Today started with my early-ass world history class, and to be honest, I love that class. The teacher is pretty deadpan, but I have reliable advice from a friend that he rocks as a prof, from what i've seen the class seems really interesting. The orcs haven't eaten me yet, but they did take a bite outta me. My back is friggin killin me. Wow the pain i'm feelin is an interesting experience, but damn, i've gathered enough data to satisfy my curiousity for the next fuckin semester, i'm ready for it to stop hurting, like, RIGHT NOW.
If you're still reading this (and i'd like to think that you are) i've got to say that i've just realized there's a starbucks around here... and I need an espresso. I'll need all the buffs I can get if I want to survive the horde.
until next time,
Abe

Hello Kiddies,
Your friendly neighborhood techie has returned to regale you with a tale of heroism, adventure, and waiting in alot of lines. Today started quite early, with me waking up to walk to campus in order to take my first class at UNT. Remedial Math isn't a glamorous class to be certain, but it definitely isn't going to be a blow-off course. I know I have a talent for math, but developing said talent is going to require a lot of nose to the grindstone action. Here's the great part though, my professor looks like Ian Miller from "My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding". Right down to the long-ish hair. He even sounds like him, its creepy.
After my battle with the math demons of ENV 110 I retreated to the friendlier climates of the Eagle Student Services Center and the Union to recover and tend to my wounds after my arduous trial with those tricksy demons. I found the sushi place here to pass muster, and my HP was restored in full after consuming a delicious sushi pack. After that it was time to fill out a Memorial loan application in order to pay for the inconsequential stuff, like having a place to stay, and of course books. I'm still waiting for word on it, but i'm optimistic about the result.
In other great news, I managed to get into the Japanese class I was after, so I will be doing at least one class for fun, it starts at 1, so's i've still got time to type this up. It's kind of weird to be here now, okay, okay.... its fucking weird as hell. I'm one of them, you, they; pick a word, I feel righteous.
Until next time my friends, I must flee before an orc eats me,
Abe

Placebo - First Day (Timo Maas Remix) |
] |
well... today marks the first day of the rest of my life. It's been 5 whole years since I graduated from highschool, and this fall semester is 5 years away from the first fall semester i would have taken, had i enrolled in UT right after graduating... by now i should be graduated. I know that i have friends who graduated with me in highschool who have now graduated college and gone onto their careers... My entire life i've always wanted to go away to school, to spend days totally immersed in class. It was a dream i had forgotten recently, and have only recenly started to covet again.
There is a catch though... I'm scared shitless about going. This entire endeavour represents a scary departure from my normal behavior pattern, and while i spent the better part of this past year trying to get this lined up and happening, i honestly never took the time to consider the chance that it actually would happen.
Well, as I pack up the rest of my crap, and load my life into my car to drive away from austin, i can't help but wonder if this will still turn out to be a bad joke, with me looking foolish. I certainly hope not.

The Perez (snake) family regrets to inform the people that on tuesday night, after a brief battle with system instability, kaig's primary HD suffered a catastrophic and fatal failure. All 200 GB of data was lost, with no survivors. A spry and fondly remembered drive, this piece of hardware performed admirably and flawlessly during its 5 year lifetime. The HD leaves two other drives, facehugger, 200 GB, and ftp, also 200 GB.
Services will be held as soon as system recovery is completed.
