Truth Detector: Fox Reports Exposes Clarke Lies; Indictes Media, Clinton Administration

It looks like I might be in line for a full time job up at the bridge. Larry is supposed to go on Medical retirement. If he does they will rehire for that postition and Ludwig is pushing to get me in there. I didn't even apply last time because I wanted him to get it. He needed a full time job more than I did. He's giving me all the manuals and procedures that he's using up there for me to read. I need to get started on doing that. It would be so nice to get a full time job. A salary would be wonderful and I might even be able to move out of the house. That's my goal at this point is to get out of the house. I need to start keeping tighter care of my money though. I need to stop spending so much on food. I think I'm going to make a list of resturants where I won't eat because they over charge for food. I know which ones do but I forget and it's kinda hard to get in to a resturant and see the menu and then say 'oops, I hate this place' and then leave. I also need to start saving some money and I can afford to do that if I just watch my money and budget my big expenses better. Like phone bill, insurance and car payment. I think I'll work on that tonight and tomorrow morning when I'm not awake enought to do anything else.

Ok, it's official! I MISS KATE!!!! I called her and talked to her at lunch and realized how much I missed her. Don't get me wrong, I not miserable because she's gone. And she seems like she's having a great time being home too. However it kinda hit me pretty hard today when I hung up that I miss her. I miss holding her, I miss her smile and her hugs. I miss kissing her and spending private time with her. I can't wait to see her on Friday!!!! Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait.

Well it's been a while since I posted on this blog other than to post links. The "Blog this" function on this site is wonderful for that. I've also been reading and updating my Livejournal a little bit. But I'll probably stop that and only use this one. Someone took offense at a comment I made and good things didn't come from it. And then Amber got involved and said some mean things to me in my comments section. I still have yet to respond to her because I want to make sure things are ok between me and another guy involved. I refuse to let her come between me and any more friends. She's officially dating Jac now. Which is starting to worry me. He's already sort of cheated on her, and he pressured the girl he cheated on her with for sex. Part of me wants to tell her or do something to make her realize that he's a predator. The other half of me is saying to just let her deal with it and the pain that comes from it. If she is going to hurt so many people trying to live in her emotional Bohemia, then she deserves what she gets. I'll probably do nothing. On a funny not, someone posted the phrase "You have a cheating boyfriend" on her Livejournal. I think that's hysterical. The only thing that bugs me now about her is her self centered attitude. I don't like to be around her at all anymore because of that. And the guys over at Tech are fun to hang around with.....except when she's around. Even David is starting to show her more attention and interest. Oh well, just as long as she or they don't hurt anyone that I actually love and care for it will be ok. Like Kate. She's so frustrated with Amber right now. Amber has bounced back and forth between Jac and Justin. And now 'loves' Jac who may not be the nicest guy. And she expects Kate to bounce for joy over it. She also posted something nasty about Virginia and Blacksburg which kinda made Kate angry. And the past couple of weeks have been really hard on her. I love her to death and it hurt to see her so distraught. But it's over now and she's on spring break. I miss her a lot and I can't wait to see her this weekend. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that stuff. I can't wait to see her this weekend. We're supposed to go to New York and try and see a show. I would love to be able to get into one. The only thing is Scott will be there and if he goes into creepy old man mood he could say somethings to the wrong people and cause trouble. Scott has messed with all of my relationships except Amber and has cause trouble each time. He thinks that the problems were my fault though and wants to protect Kate from me. I'm not sure where he gets off giving any advice about relationships to anyone though. He has himself admitted that he is socially deficient in this area. He dated Kim, who is a Lesbian, for 12 years. And now that he's 30 he crushes on 18-20 year olds. And gets frustrated when they won't see him as anything more than a friend. I don't know what to do about that at all. We'll just see how it goes I guess. I don't know what I'm doing tonight, I might grab Gwen and see if she wants to get together. Everyone else who is in town is at Nikki and Brian's making cookies. Hmm maybe I should head over there. Or I could actually go see the Passion. I've been wanting to for a long time but haven't had the chance. We'll see.
