As some of you may know, with the World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusdade, there are some pretty shifty changes and additions. There are two new playable races, and two previously side specific classes are having their side restrictions removed. For starters, I'm excited about having new playable races; but I have a lingering resentment for Blizzards choices on the two. While Blood Elves seem cool conceptually, they look a lot like Night Elves with thinner eyebrows, and they fit the 'pretty'...

I've started working with a budget; I know it will be absolutely necessary a month from now, so I figured I would start practicing with it. Jeff convinced me to use a method made by Dave Ramsey, and hopefully I will be able to pay off my student loans within a couple of years. In the mean time, I may need to restrain from a certain leisure expense, creating a painful distance between myself and an expectant lover.

I'm wrapping up the second full work week in the 'real world,' and even though I still don't like waking up at 7 AM, overall it's still an improvement. The A&J Library program is almost completed. The coding standards are a thing of beauty and something I will carry with me into pleasure coding
Convincing someone to engage in a threesome is a particularly difficult activity; especially if you've already set standards of exclusivity. I've been trying for quite a while, but now that circumstances are changing I may actually be able to get my hopes up. She even seems to be warming up to the idea. To make it an easy transition I will let her pick the third party. I am absolutely thrilled that when my girlfriend and I move in together she is going to have access to one of my computers. In response...
With about three cups of tea a day I'm getting used to this early morning thing without too much trouble. For now I'm writing some programs unrelated to GeeksWithBlogs to get used to the programming standards here while learning a few things. In the mean time I've drawn up some sketches for a few new skins. My girlfriend and I have been approved for our apartment; I wasn't really worried but it's nice to know for sure. Amongst other things, I'm looking forward to having affectionate pets again. The...
This is my second day working for Alexander & Julian Inc., I really enjoy it. I’m going to be become well acquainted with caffeinated tea, since I haven't been out of bed before noon since graduating, almost without exception. I’m excited to work with image creation and editing on the companies tablet PC that I am using, I hope you enjoy the skins I will be developing some time in the near future. A little about myself: I’m 21 and grew up in the Kansas City area.I like to draw...
