Hello all. Sorry about the lack of updates. I've just got so much going on, when I actually have a free second, I don't feel like writing really. I launched my new blog at, http://www.withinmorgan.com - it's going to be a bit of personal (although nothing like this) and techy I think. I dunno, just fun stuff. There's really only one article up there at the moment, but there's going to be lots more to come. raf , Jenny and I are kind of building this little blog network. It's really cool. So what else. I've been major emo because of all the winter and darkness and all. It's killing me. I am so glad spring is only a month or so away. I will be much better.

ltdan and I are just about to start studying for our CCNA. That's going to be a lot of fun. I am really excited. I love networking. It's probably one of my favorite computer subjects. I really like networking & security. So yeah!

Hrmm, so what else. Today was really nice, so I spent a bunch of time outside with Kiara. She looooves the snow, but then and again, what husky doesn't?!

Been playing a lot of Dead Space too. Just trying to finish up the game. Just started chapter 8. It's a really great game even though I get scared of just about everything. Very gross too hehe. I think once that is done, I might try to finish up some more of DiRT too. I really like that game, the other night I was driving the STi and the WRX. I looove those cars.

Today...besides playing outside, I watch Role Model and I thought it was hilarious. I recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to see it, that and Sex Drive, both hilarious movies! Tonight I am going to be playing some Aegis Wing with raf , ltdan and Jenny. I am sure it's going to be a lot of fun!

Grrr...I hate when people add me on Twitter but leave their updates protected, then I have no idea what the person is like and I don't end up adding them.

Well what else. I might go start reading the CCNA book (its enormous - 900+ pages) so I can get a bit of a head start hehe. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Hi all,

I must apologize for not commenting so much. I've been reading almost if not all of your entries. I'll definitely try to keep up with commenting though. It looks like most of you are all doing quite well, and I'm happy about that! Life's too short to be sad.

I've been rather flakey as of late though and I know. I've just been dealing with some personal issues mostly. This whole winter thing makes me depressed. It's been happening for years now though, probably since the beginning of high school. I guess I should be used to it by now, but I'm not. Every winter I just so sad and down about everything regardless of whether or not it's a happy thing or not. It's terrible and I hate it. I know I've actually read about it and I know I'm not the only one who experiences it. I know they even put some people on meds. I don't think I want to do that though. I'm not one for remedying things by drugs. But maybe I should, if it would really help me that is.

I've also been having some relationship troubles, but I believe most of that is really cleared up. I think Brian and I just rushed into the relationship without really getting to know each other. I mean, I have known him for years, but never like this. We just we like oh, I like you and you like me, let's be boyfriend/girlfriend and that was that. It's all cool now though, and we're totally happy with each other. I think going out and down to MA these past few weekends have been so good for us. We really got to just be away from things, away from people, and with each other. Plus, we got to see some really great bands, Funeral for a Friend and Every Time I Die, both bands we highly enjoy.

Speaking of music, anyone heard the new Thursday album? Amazing?! YES/YES!!! Haha I love it soooo much, it's like the only thing I was listening to on my iPod today. Also the new Lamb of God album is quite good too!

Hrmm, so I've been really busy with work too, and riding. I've got to start getting the horses in shape for this coming show season and what better time to start then now haha. I've been slowly working my way to hitting or looping in CoD4 again before my LIVE account expires. I think I am going to be relived when it does though. I can finally start to work on my other games that I've not touched. I've got games from 04 that are still in their shrink wrap lol. It sucks, I am so bad at video games. I find one that I really like and that's all I end up playing lol So I guess I'll be finishing Star Fox Adventures as one of the first ones...then we'll go from there. I'll be working on finishing games that I've started but never finished first, then I'll start games that I never touched. I am really excited haha.I'd also like to start reading more books. So I've got a lot going on hehe.

Oh, iPhone is finally available here in Vermont, not like it means a lot to me, but finally after like 2.5 years, it's available up here haha. That also means we've got AT&T up here, very cool! :) I've had my iPhone since day 1...so I guess I had my 2.5 years of being cool...

Not sure if I've got anything useful left to say. Hope all is well with every one else!

It's currently about -14F here. I am so cold. Been pretty busy with work lately. Brian came over last night. I hadn't seen him since the weekend. He's been back at college now. He says he's really been enjoying his new classes, so I am happy about that. I had really wanted to take a few classes this semester but they weren't offering them. I wanted to take Japanese I and Intro to Animal Science. I shall take them either this summer or in the fall. I also am planning to do the Japan trip in the summer if they're offering it and I am allowed too.

Alright, it's like 3-4 days after I started this entry haha I am so bad at actually sitting down to write this stuff lol. I guess I've just got to much going on at the moment so...yeah.

I've been trying to comment on people entries and stuff. I at least read them. So anyways, yeah I've just been really busy with work not only real work but also trying to secure and keep the servers and network as stable as I can. I was supposed to go NH this weekend to the shooting range. I was going to take Brian, but the weather was pretty bad so we ended up staying at home and playing outside in all the new snow. Was fun, although I had really wanted to go to the shooting range.

Not much exciting stuff is planned for this week, just working and horses as usual. I am totally okay with that though. I know it's going to get hectic though, which again, I am fine with. I like to keep busy, much better then being bored.

I really wished I could have taken some classes this semester, but like I said above they're not offering them this time around, so I'll likely have to wait until the fall.

Today I was going to work at home, but I ended up coming into the office. I've got some paper work and invoicing that needs to get done....I would like to get paid, ya know :)

I hope everyone is well, and having a nice January! xooxmorgan

Oh yeah, Obama is in today, woohoo!

Things have been a bit crazy with me lately. Had some crazy stuff happen (mostly drama on the Internets) last week, Monday I think. Apparently some people think it's cool to talk about you behind your back. I thought it was kind of funny but also really lame at the same time. I dunno, I guess I just feel sad for those people, they've got nothing better to do then talk about me for hours. Haha, so silly. Regardless, I am definitely not friends with these people anymore. I wasn't even really mad about the whole thing either.

So yeah, then after dealing with that, I've been having some boy troubles, but I think they've been resolved. I don't really know what happened, Brian just seemed to be distancing himself from me, didn't return phone calls or anything. but we had a really long talk, figured some things out and yeah, we're all good now. I think he might be coming over this afternoon, so I am looking forward to that. We've still got to plan that trip to Montreal. I guess we've both just been so busy it hasn't happened. I was kind of thinking about pushing it back until maybe the late Spring so we could go to the gardens too. They're so pretty.

Been playing a bunch of Call of Duty 4. I am now prestige level 2, level 30. I am totally digging this game. Played a bunch with Andrew and Chris last night. Of course raf crapped out. Lame. Oh well. I am hoping Chris and I can run through GoW2 on Insane sometime in the near future.

Today, not much going on, it's Caturday after all, so most likely I'll be on Xbox and just watching movies.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Oh, is anyone good with turning a photograph into vector art?? I'll give you a 6 month paid account + 200 icons if you're really good at it! Let me know!

Today I played a massive amount of Call of Duty 4. raf played with me.  realhorrorshow joined too! We all had a ton of fun. At one point it was 4 on 1, it was a bit silly. We definitely had a bunch of good rounds. I went 41 and 14 at one point. I definitely had a good day!

In the morning I got the VMWare version of Scribbld (also known as DramaJournal) booted up. I would eventually like to open a real DramaJournal, although I think it would be the development version of Scribbld, but it would still be live. So I got some of those LJ only layouts working. It wasn't as much as I thought it would be. Basically you just snag the CSS file and the images associated with the theme, drop them in the right folders and then you're good to go.

Chatted a bit with Andrew today, I guess things are going well. It does feel a bit awkward but I guess things will work themselves out.

I told Raf about my dream, was a bit odd haha. I love having weird dreams like that though. Dreaming is so much fun.

Tonight Brian is coming over, actually he should be here any minute. We're just going to have dinner, watch movies and snuggle. Sounds like a good night to me :)!

Back to work next week. I think it'll be nice though. As much as I enjoying playing 12 hours of COD4 a day, I think I could do with a little bit of work.

Hope everyone is well xoxox

I hope everyone had a really nice Christmas, I sure did!! Brian got me some jewelry and some band related things (a couple albums, and an AFI hoody which I looooove). I got him a hoody too and some gift certificates to various places. Of course we've got our trip to Montreal too, which I actually still need to plan ahaha.

The best present that I got was this COG tag from raf He said there was only 100 ever made AND not only that BUT, he got Cliffy B to sign mine!! AND it says 'kill em all!' on it...which is pretty much what I say every time we play GoW or COD haha, it's THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER....can you say that's what makes BFFs!? I can...I love him!!!

So yaaah, I chatted with Raf a bit this morning and a couple other people. Had a bit of drama with the YATS people, cause someone didn't bother to read what I said...so yeaaaaah. But we got it all sorted out...it actually looks like they're going to be closing, which kind of sucks cause I spent a bunch of time fixing their code and adding all those mods into the forums, but whatever :) It happens.

This afternoon we spent time at both of our parents houses (together of course). Definitely had a lot of fun, we're home now. Watching some anime...I really want to start Death Note soon, we're actually watching My Neighbor Totoro right now. I love this movie, it's so cute :D I have my little plushie Totoro <3333

OMG, I got Brian to watch this Disney/Nickeleon, kid film last night. ltdan  thought it wouldn't happen haha but I got him to watch it. A couple of the girls were cute, the boys were haha. Then we watched The Dark Knight, which we both love. Speaking of Lt. He's on a plane right now (or so I assume) headed to Germany for this hacking conference or something. He's going to have so much fun, I truly love him too! <3 He's a really great guy!

Ok, well I guess I should focus on the movie rather then this entry haha. Happy Holidays all, love yooou!!!

One of the reasons I broke up with my previous boyfriend was because we were always too busy for each other and we could never really get any "us" time. So now of course, it's happening all over again with me and Brian, and it's totally my fault. We'll come home, eat, and I'll plant myself in front of the computer until it's pretty much time to go to bed. He goes off and plays Xbox generally, although the other night he went out and played with Kiara which I thought was the cutest thing, I'll post some pics later, but I felt like such an ass.

From now on, I'm getting off the computer no later then 8pm. It's all I do and it needs to stop, I really enjoy chatting with my online friends, but I think I owe it to this amazing boy to spend more time with him. We both have classes and work, so it's important that we spend more time when we're not doing so, and me sitting around posting aimlessly on FaceBook and AP doesn't really help our relationship.

Last night he told me he was going to take me to dinner at any place of MY choice in either Montreal or Boston. Umm, yeah, best boyfriend ever? It'll be like a Christmas present to each other. I think we'll stay over night too, where ever we choose to go. I've not been to Montreal in god knows how long, but I really love Boston and I know a few good places there. A few friends have suggested a couple places in Boston, but I'm definitely looking for more suggestions, so let me know peepz!

Last night I played some Call of Duty 4 with a good friend, we definitely kicked some ass, but had it handed to us on a few rounds haha Definitely had a good time though. Brian ended up finishing stage one of the Biohazard demo...I haven't yet haha He's working on the second one, I tried playing it and I think I actually got to the end, but my head got chopped off by the boss. He couldn't stop laughing, HA HA...not so funny lol.

Today it was like 60F degrees, but believe it or not, it's snowing like crazy now. This place is all messed up weather-wise. Tonight Brian's coming to help me with barn chores and then I think we're just going to go relax at my house, watch a movie or something...Matty would be proud of me, we actually rented something from iTunes the other night haha Of course I'll go get myself a copy of it....

Anyways, I hope all is well with everyone!! xoxoxo

Good morning everyone! I just bought one of the new plush Murlocs from the Jinx site. I can't wait to get it :D

Man, I suck at writing entires....I started this at like 9am and it's like 11:30am haha

I get to sidetracked by AP. Which I almost have 600 posts at haha

Last night raf and I played some CoD4. Definitely had an awesome time, I leveled up twice I think. I am 38 now I believe. I got the G36C but I dunno, I'm not feeling it at all, it sucks lol. I love my Carbine haha

Spent some time surfing the M4Cabine forums, drooling over the pics thread. So many amazing guns, and styles and setups. I am definitely getting one soon.

I helped out the admin of YATS with upgrading to PHPBB3, but his thing was so old that he had to get some tech support from his host LOL. Still broken as we speak LOL. I think if I had better access I could have handled it but I did not so oh well. I've got tons of new music though, I must say the new Fall of Troy, AMAZING. And I've got Blessthefall whom I love.

Umm, went on Skype with Raf and Chris last night, no drinking this time haha,  totally won the other night though. Boys fail. Umm. I ended up falling asleep around 2 or something, the last thing I remember them talking about was whales lol.

Had some weird dreams about going to Raf's house and meeting his dad and stuff, I dunno lol.

Woke up this morning around 9, did some horse chores. Messaged the boys but I think they were asleep, probably still are haha. I dunno how late they stayed up. Just been chatting in #betas and on AP. Dunno what I'm doing today, playing COD4 with LtDan tonight so that'll be fun.

Have a lovely day everyone! <3333

 So, Friday night, I just kind of went down to Boston. Ended up staying with one of my friends that I knew from college. He's really good to me, maybe too good haha So we kind of just hung out, went around Boston, was cold so we went to some place and got food. Meanwhile, Nikki and krew are looking for me, I guess that was kind of stupid of me to just leave her hanging, but I just needed to get the hell out. So I drove home in the morning, got some news about my seakretz project. Hrmm, then I worked on Laconica, but ya know, it's kind of dumb cause I just use Twitter. I mean I guess it would be nice to have a second copy of my tweets, but not really lol. Too much work and I am trying to tone down my computer time cause it's a bit too much.

Hrmm, then I went up to Burlington and I met up with Ryan and we had some fun. I really wish he didn't have a girlfriend haha We hit up Quizno's and I got a yummy sammich. Umm, bought some new black bracelets since mine all snapped...almost bought a Sky Eats Airplane shirt but didn't...so then I said bye to Ryan and scoped out GameStop...almost bought Resistance 2, but I remembered I have SO many video games, not to mention Resistance 1 that need to be played haha mmm then I went to this adult store...just to you know check things out...I ended up getting some stickers and incense. It was like 10 for a dollar haha. Hrmm so yeah does anyone know like ...

( Mature Content Ahead )

Sooooo anyways...came home, chatted with raf for a bit, didn't go so well. Then some friends came over around 9pm and we all hung out and had fun until 4am or so haha

Woke up around 10am this morning...messaged Raf a bunch of time, then I finally called him, hehe he was happy lol. So yeah just doing a couple things, then we're going to play Call of Duty 4 on LIVE.

Oh, I also updated some of the CSS on my layout and changed the header image to AFI <3

 Wow, the last few days have been weird! But I think in a good way. Good weird...I know I wrote that I'd be logging off the nets for a couple days, but since this is basically my little journal, I thought it would be similar to writing in a paper one, so this doesn't count ;) I am not checking emails, FaceBook, Twitter, none of it...I'm just writing in here.

Yesterday was raf's birthday. It sounds like he had a pretty good day, a really good day I guess. I'm glad he liked my present. I got him an XBox 360 w/ Call of Duty 4 and we ended up playing for a couple hours. I definitely had fun. I can really get more kills without that stupid cast (which is being put back on today unfortunately). I doubt they'll do it in pink, but you never know, I'm going to ask anyways.

I think I am pretty much over being sick which is really nice. I basically just had a sore throat and a bit of a runny nose for a couple days. I was definitely miserable during those days, but it's better then being sick for weeks. I'm still taking a couple meds to get me through the day, but it's not too bad anymore.

So I told Rafael that I wanted to get another tattoo, I was thinking of getting something that would make me laugh each time I saw it, something related to me and him, but he just said he hates tattoos and not to talk to about it with him, oh well. I'll figure something cool out. I thought about getting a couple little Mario stars or something cute ^__^ not sure though.

So apparently him and this girl are going to hook up. I won't name names because this is a public entry and I promised him I would keep my mouth shut (for the moment). I think it's totally awesome! I'm all for it, but he seems to down about it, I mean yeah I'm definitely not going to be the same girl around him when he does and now knowing but it's not like I'm that much different, HA HA HA I can still be funny. I don't really know if I want to talk more about the subject. I really feel good about them though, I think if that makes him the happiest boy in the world, then I'll be the happiest girl in the world for him. I'm totally behind him 100%!

So it snowed again last night, I've got like an inch or two on my lawn, and it's pretty :) Tonight I am going out to dinner with Nikki and I think we might go to the movies too. I know this might sound odd, but I think I am going to focus on my real life friends, not that I don't care about my friends online, because I most definitely do. I just have so many good people here that I can hug and hold and talk face to face with. And I know I make it that way, and because I do I think I should start doing so. This weekend I don't really have plans, I don't know what I am going to do, maybe I'll go hangout with my brother and his friends for a bit.

I played through some of the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts demo last night. I couldn't stop giggling. It reminded me of so many good times back in the day, Nintendo 64, staying up late with friends playing Mario Kart and all. I think I am going to buy the guide for the full game, I remember needing it for the N64 version cause of all the music notes, and puzzle pieces, but now it looks like they've introduced like "go-karts" or something...I love Mumbo Jumbo! EEECOMPOKUM! :)

Alright, so I've got a doctor's appointment shortly so I should probably get dressed and stop yapping! I hope everyone has a lovely Friday!

xooxxmorgan

Hehe CUTE!

Just got back from the Senses Fail w/ Dance Gavin Dance & Sky Eats Airplane show. It was absolutely amazing. I think it's been a good 2-3 years since I've been to a show. Funny thing is I think it was Senses Fail too haha Either way, I actually saw some of the old scene kids I used to hang out with, Ryan was there, looking absolutely gorgeous as usual! God, he's so cute <3 He looks A LOT like Davey Havok who I am in love with. Jake was there too, it was really nice to see them all again! I gotta hang out with them more often, and I DEFINITELY need to go to more shows. We did some consulting for some of the guys who run the venue so we (jimmy  and I) get in for free which is awesome. So the first band pretty much sucked, it was like ska but worse. Then Sky Eats Airplane came on and OMG WOW!!! I love them! Then Dance Gavin Dance which was amaaaaazing and then Senses Fail, wow! It was SO MUCH FUN! Sorry to people on my Twitter, I spammed a lot! I was going to bring my Canon, but I thought it would be too much of a hassle, was I wrong, iPhone sucked haha I am definitely bringing a point and shoot with me next time! Although it won't be easy to Twitter, but whatever....

Hrmm, so today, I pretty much didn't do anything. I did chat with raf  and we did get some Counter Strike in, so that was fun. Just eating a bit of a snack right now, then I am going to bed. Tomorrow I am going to work with the horses and then not sure, might be going to my parents for dinner or something.

I played a bit of Gaia Online today, was just doing some of the puzzles they have, they're semi-addicting when you've got nothing else to do.

I hope everyone's had a lovely weekend so far, I know I have!!!

xoxoxmorgan

Picked up my copy of Gears of War 2 on Friday after my consulting appointments. Got home, chatted with raf for a bit...attempted to read some of my book but failed as usual. I ended up falling asleep...which actually ended up being a good thing :) Woke up, chatted with the guys for a bit. Then around 8PM LtDan and I finally got setup and started playing Gears. I think we played until like 2am or so. Made it to Part 4, Chapter 1. Then I chatted with Raf until like 5am, we figured stuff out, and we're pretty much all good now :D I am so happy cause he makes me so happy and I would hate to loose him.

Today I woke up around 12:30pm which was BAD. I hate waking up late, but I guess when you go to bed at 5am, that happens. Chatted with Raf and LtDan then the Lt and I started back up on GoW2. Finally beat the game around 4pm or so. It was EPIC. I love that game SO MUCH. It was VERY VERY VERY well done. I'll be writing a bit more in-depth on TeHGeekGirl.com/blog so look out for it!

Then I got dinner, did some things, and now I'm talking to Raf. We're working on getting C&C: Red Alert III going. What a pain in the butt though. I also figured out the deathmatch mod for my Counter Strike: Source server so I might try to get that installed tomorrow or Monday.

I know I said I would be coding because of my broken wrist but I can't help but do a little. I've been looking into updating the Scribbld code base...so what I've done so far is update the dev box with the new code base and I've started moving some Scribbld custom stuff onto it to see how well it works...a few things I've noticed so far, the userinfo page is new, rich text editing works in Safari/Web Kit now, the poll creator is still broken, but I've submitted a help/issue request so hopefully they get back to me about it.

Hrm, so now I'm just waiting on raf, so slowww...

xoxoxmorgan

Wow, it's been almost a week since the accident and I think I am doing pretty well. The doctors visit went well, should still be like 4-6 weeks in this cast though, maybe a bit longer, it sucks.

Been enjoying not having to do all the barn chores myself, the girls are enthralled they get to be around the horses :P

Just eating some lunch, waiting for raf to get back from his lunch...

We played some Counter Strike last night, got into this wicked awesome server which I hope to replicate on to ours. It was some sort of deathmatch mod, really cool.

Hrmm, so today is just boring office work, so is tomorrow...Friday I've got a few consulting appointments scheduled and then I am getting my copy of Gears of War 2 and playing it until Sunday :)
