This is going to be a pretty quick and maybe short post, who knows. Brian is coming over in a couple minutes so we can have some BBQ time! Hehe. I dunno if it'll be the last one of the season but surely one of. I love BBQs! :) Such yummy food hehe. I think tonight we're doing some steak and chicken and corn on the cob. I'd love to get some ribs too though.

What else, ever since I quit my job, or I dunno if you'd say that but the business was over, I've been riding like as much as I can. I spent like 12-14 hours out there with the horses, it's so much fun. I go on trail rides that last for hours on end, I just get lost out in the woods, and just enjoy the beautiful state that I live in. I really love living here. Sometimes I even bring Kiara along which she loves!

We created a new social networking site called RocketShipz (http://rocketshipz.com) and it's a bit different then these LJ based websites. Check it out, I'd love to see a couple more people on there and if you don't sign up, pass it along to your friends. :)

I really want to get more into PHP coding, maybe...I really want to work on Confessh.us and get more features and things built-in. Plus PHP is a really neat language. I also need to finish my CCNA studies up. I'm like 4-5 chapters from completing the book and I really need to do it now before I forget everything I've learned. I think tomorrow, I will actually pick it up again and get it done :) Chris will be happy/proud of me :)

I've started playing Wolfenstein since I got my Xbox 360 hacked up to the latest firmware. It's awesome :) vaporizing people is excellent.

Anyways, gotta run now. have a lovely day peepz xoxoxox

 I've been so busy as of late. I've been at horse shows, and then Brian and I finally took our vacation to Montreal. it was so much fun, although I wish it hadn't taken us so long to do it haha. Then when I got back I arranged to have my Internet which resulted in my stuff being offline for 3-4 days...haha I had to get my new Palm Pre tethered up so I could do some work lol.

Hrmm, what else. our movie rental application is pretty much done. Our completion date is the 22nd, which also happens to be MY BIRTHDAY! :D Hehe

I got a bunch of new music today and I got season 3 of The IT Crowd. I'm watching the first episode right now, and it's so funny. I love this TV series haha. As for new music, I think there's like 5-6 new bands that I got that I really enjoy! The new caliban album is really awesome, but the new Thrice album is pretty crap...at least compared to their other ones.

Anyways, I am going to continue watching these episodes. I can't get enough of it!! :)

 Today was crazy! I ran a mile in the morning, then went on a two hour trail ride. Then I went mountain biking which wasn't supposed to be too crazy. We ended up going a lot further, like 12 miles hahaha. I was SO dead afterwards. I just came home, Brian had some eats ready fortunately. I took a shower and passed out for like an hour.

Found out the Prestige version of Modern Warfare 2 is going to be $150 which is nice, but then when you realize they've included NVGs for that price, you also realize how shitty they must be hahaha. I would have preferred some figurines or something. Maybe an assault rifle...

So as usual Chris and I played some Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I leveled up a couple times. At level 27 now ^__^! So that was my day. Tomorrow it's back to work, I have a feeling I might be very sore haha.

I think tonight, I might start a new anime series or watch some Japanese movie or something. Hope everyone had a nice day! xoxoxo

Wow, busy busy busy as of late. Monday I had like 4 consulting appointments, yesterday I had tons of office work to do and some repairs, data transfers and setups to complete. On Monday evening I went out to dinner with Brian and his parents, that was nice, I like them and they seem to like me...although I've known them since I was little, haha, so it's nothing really new. Tuesday Brian made a picnic dinner and brought that up to Burlington along with a blanket and we just ate and layed out on the waterfront. Super romantic and made me totally the happiest girl ever, especially after busting ass all day long, that was exactly what I needed. After that we went and saw Pixar's UP which I thought was outstanding.

I am not sure about myself lately though. Pretty much anything makes me burst into tears. For example, the short before the movie, the one with the storks and the clouds, I started crying because the poor cloud kept fucking up and I dunno?!?! What the hell is wrong with me haha. It was so cute and sad. And then during the main movie I got all teary eyed and stuff haha. It could just be because it's that time of the month pretty much, either that or I've got some really weird emotional problems going on lol. Oh well...

After we got home last night, I checked a couple things on the web, and then Brian and I just fell asleep watching Spirited Away. I was sooooo tired.

Today, not much is happening. Just at the office working on a couple in-house things, as well as some repairs and finishing a data transfer or two from old to new machines. Today was supposed to be really crappy weather, but it's been really nice the entire day so I think I'll take advantage of that and go out riding. Brian said he was making dinner for us tonight, which is awesome. I think I've seriously got the most amazing boyfriend in the whole entire world!! I guess after riding, we'll have dinner, maybe play some Mario Kart, watch a movie and just sleep. I've got some homework to get done for class, so I'll fit that in there somewhere. I've gotta find some lunch at some point too, I might just do Quiznos. I hope everyone is well!! xoxox

The horse show last week was amazing. I know I didn't write anything or tweet very much, but that's what happens when you've got a lot of things to do haha. I definitely had an awesome time. There were a couple photographers theres, so I'll see if I can find some pics of me and I'll post them up.

So a little drama happened. My ex-boyfriend, Brian, who I kind of still like came down and surprised me. He brought flowers and horsey stuff and was there each morning and all day when I was riding, and when I wasn't we hung out. So the issue is he wants to get back together with me and I want to also, but I'm so afraid he's going to pull another I'm busy with school and exams and breakup with me again. On Friday night we had a good long talk, basically he broke up with me because he thought he wasn't giving me the amount of time and attention he thought I deserved and thought I deserved to be with someone a lot better then him. That was because he was all stressed out over his finals and exams and such...I dunno, if it was me that made him think that or something. I don't know, but I was really happy with him and I totally understood he had a lot going on, so I was trying to be as not needy and clingy as possible. I dunno, I think we both had some bad communication on both our parts. So he ended up spending the nights in my room, but I made him sleep on the floor, I didn't think we were at the sleeping in the same bed yet...if that even ever happens...I really don't know what to do...I like him a lot, I just don't like how he broke it off, without even talking to me first you know...I don't know what will happen to us...we'll see...

So I got home this morning around 10 or so...kind of just hung out for a bit. Talked with raf  and ltdan  and then I took a nap. I had a dream that I was Baird from GoW and that I had a chainsaw dual with someone who was "playing" Marcus. Weird I know...then I had a dream about me fingering myself?! Dunno where that came from, but it happened haha.

Just chatting with Chris now. I think my parents are coming over, and we're doing some BBQing in a little bit. Yum!!

One of my summer classes starts tomorrow. I'm really excited...even though it is online. I tried logging in today, but the class still isn't showing up. Hopefully it does by tomorrow. Haha. Japanese class starts in July. I'm really psyched for that one.

So, jimmy  found out that Dreamwidth is OS. So we're looking to set that up. Maybe start a new invite-only, special, elitist journaling site with that. It'll be pretty private if we do get it running...we're installing a couple servers too run it on at the moment, only testing. If we like it we'll go live with it. We're also actively working on fixing the polls in the RTE and getting rename tokens working!

I hope everyone had a wonderful past week and a lovely weekend...and have a wonderful upcoming week!!

xooxx

So I'm just finishing getting ready to head out to the horse show. I can't wait!! This week is going to be awesome, no issues to deal with, no work, just riding and having a good time!!

Watched Resident Evil: Degeneration with ltdan  last night. Definitely awesome! I really liked it, it makes me want to go play Resident Evil games haha. I really need to beat 4 actually, since I barely made it into the game. I am thinking about getting Killzone 1(??) and 2 when I get back. The demo was awesome and the poor PS3 needs some love. That reminds me, I bought Flower like a month ago, but I haven't tried it out yet.

When I get back from the horse show, I'm planning on working on Confessh.us a bunch. There's a few features and things I'd like to work on.

Hopefully when I get back the new logic board and CPU and if I'm lucky the PSU will be here. I am psyched!!

Hope everyone has a nice week. I'll try to toss in a few tweets here and there and maybe a journal entry...

Not much to say at the moment. I watched Defiance with ltdan  the other night. We both seemed to enjoy it. A little old school, but definitely badass. Tonight we're watching Resident Evil: Degeneration which is going to be awesome.

I've been in the mood to see Advent Children again, so maybe sometime soon...

I'll be away this upcoming week. Leaving tomorrow for Massachusetts. Going to the Vermont Spring Classic horse show. It'll be awesome. It usually always is!!

We've ordered almost all of the parts for the new server. I just ordered the logic board and CPU from NewEgg.

Woops...got wicked sidetracked on this entry...just finished playin' some Xbox with ltdan  and raf . We might do an all nighter tonight, although likely not since there's not much to do and I'll get bored and fall asleep haha

Hrmmm, so that's about it from me...not much going on tomorrow, sleeping if I do have an all nighter, and then heading down to MA...not sure how much I'll update when I am gone (not like I update a lot when I'm here haha). So have an awesome week everyone!! xoxox

So I've been spending a buncha time geeking out the last couple days. I moved my Shuttle to my desk (which is far better then the corner of the room) and brought up an old PC from below to use as my Skype machine. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the Shuttle and wow. I really really like it. I've been using it exclusively for the last couple days and I am really impressed so far. Mind you, all I am doing is surfing the web, chatting on IM, and doing a bit of work in the Terminal. I definitely would never use this as my main OS, I am far to addicted to OS X and it's wonderfully amazing applications. Linux cannot even compare to it, but it's definitely awesome for what I am using it for.

Today I bought my first ever flash drive, waaay proud of myself. I was in the store and I was like, ok, time to stop being such a loser, I need one of these, since everyone else has one haha. I really have NO idea what I am going to use it for, but at least I can say I have one! It's 8GB, so that's cool.

Did all of my Chapter 6 notes. I was proud of myself. Took me like four hours because not only did I have to take the notes, but I actually really had to understand the material. This chapter was on IP Routing, which is a bit better then the Chapter 3 (subnetting, VLSM) stuff. So now after I finish this entry, I'm going to work on the written lab, which is hopefully not to hard!!

I installed Windows 7 on that other PC, my new Skype box :) Everything went pretty smooth, it found my new 500GB drive, and the install didn't bother me as much as a Windows XP install, more like click install and it does it thing...I liked that. It has tons of pretty wallpapers too, so that made me happy. What didn't make me happy is driver issues, but I guess that's something one should be used to if you're using Windows...always driver issues. This time it's the audio drivers...and I don't know what to do...more like I don't have time to Google it...I am sure it's a simple fix...download some file and it'll work :)

Spent a bunch of time at the barn today, was wicked nice out. I couldn't bring myself to do the CCNA notes, and then do the labs...so I took a break and worked the horses. I'll be gone to Massachusetts all of next week at a horse show, so I've gotta get them ready for that.

Tonight, like I said, finishing (hopefully) the written lab bit of Chapter 6, then I think (if I get this audio drive issue resolved) I'll be playing some Xbox with ltdan . I would like to get back into studying Japanese more routinely since I'll be taking the class in a couple weeks (of which I am VERY excited to do). I love it.

Alright, enough of my spamming, and blabberin'! Have a nice night! <3

Life has been quieting down a little bit lately...well ok, not very much, but at least enough for me to write this entry haha. Life has actually been getting busier and busier. I find that I am rarely home on the weekends, and now that show season is upon us, I have a feeling I'll be around less and less haha. It kind of sucks, because I really wanted to work a lot on Confessh.us, but I doubt I'll be able to find the time, but maybe that's where jimmy  can step up. Although he's probably got just as many things to do as I, if not more. So yeah...

These last 2 weekends I've been mostly down in Massachusetts at airsoft OPs. This weekend (Saturday) was one of the biggest OPs in New England, Battle for Tolland. There's like 300 people there or something crazy, it's wicked fun though! I was supposed to go to an OP today in Vermont, but then I remember how much the players in VT annoy me...so I skipped out and watched some Dirty Jobs, and went horseback riding instead haha. I was only able to work one of the horses, then I came home.

Played some GTAIV with ltdan and then I proceeded to Ubuntu my Shuttle. It's so sexy!!

Wow, yesterday I finally finished up most of the Confessh.us coding. What a project that was. I'm very excited to show everyone. There's still one feature we've not added in yet, so I think I'll hold off until it's finished. It's tagging, and it's one of the hardest things to implement, that I can think of. We're very close, I think I would like to shoot for launching next week if possible!

This week is supposed to be really crappy weather-wise so I guess it'll be mostly a movie and fine tuning the code on the site week. I'm okay with that, I guess. I did really want to be out riding and having fun, but there'll be plenty of time for that in the coming days and weeks. I really hope I can get into an OP for airsoft soon, I am so sad that I missed the OP the other weekend, I am sure it was amazing!! Also show season starts soon, I've gotta pretty up the ponies, and get myself ready.

Hrmm, so I've also been working a bit with jimmy  on  making some new styles for Scribbld, you can see what we've done by going into Manage --> Viewing Options. Had a bit of trouble with the CSS sizing and margin crap but it should be fixed now :) If anyone wants, you're more then welcome to submit your own color scheme! The colors we would like are:

•  background color
• header color
• navigation tab color
• content background color
• link color

and I think that's it. Also I might be giving away some free PAID accounts, in trade for some J-Rock/Pop music. First I've got to put together a list of albums I already have. So yeaaaah! :)

Just chillen at work today, nothing special happening. Just chatting with a couple friends, I can't wait to go home and just relax :)

 These past couple days, I've been really busy working on that new web project, and I'm finally ready to share a bit about it. basically it's a confessions website where people can go and submit confessions (they can be done anonymously, but you must make an account to submit them). Then people can "like" or even comment on them. You can check it out here:

http://confessh.us

You can see some of the mockups I've been working on by looking at this Flickr set. So pretty much we've got down the idea of what is it and how we want it to work. Now we've just got t get started on coding it up...which is going to be rather interesting since I don't know a whole lot about PHP and MySQL. It'll definitely be a BIG learning project haha.

Right now, there's not much to do other then sign up to get notified when we need beta testing :) But definitely sign up!

Other then that, I've been really busy with the boyfriend and stuff. Had a really nice weekend helping ltdan get OS X installed on his Dell Mini. We probably spent like 24+ hours total trying to get his working. Mine worked in about 45 minutes haha And 95% of that time was waiting for it to install itself haha. I actually wrote about it and took some pictures on WithinMorgan.com so check it out! :)

Yesterday, I finished up some repairs I had and also finished up the 2 scripts needed for Confessh.us. Got home, worked on getting of my written labs or chapter 3 CCNA done. Then I completely finished the last script for Confessh,us and then ltdan and I did our study/review session. I got so angry at one question, but then I figured it out after like 30 minutes of hell. Haha. After that, I worked on Confessh.us some more, and chatted with a couple friends.

I got my 2GB RAM chip in this morning for my Dell Mini netbook, so after I finish this entry I'll install it and the netbook will be much happier :) So that's about all that's going on with me, sorry about not checking/commenting on friends stuff, I've been ridiculously busy! I hope everyone is well!!

xoxox

Wow, am I happy that it's the weekend. Yesterday, I didn't really do much, I think I left my room maybe a total of 5 times haha. I just sat around, played with web stuff, TeHGeekGirl.com, Photoshop, chatted with friends and watched TV shows and movies. I started watching the second season of Hani Yori Dango. I get so addicted to that stuff that I can't just watch one episode at a time haha. I am on like episode 5 now. It's so good haha. I just wish that Makino would tell Tsukasa how she really felt cause he just came out and told her how she feels. Every time they see each other though she just yells at him and stuff. I really think they should just be together as much as I love Rui, I dunno haha, its hard.

Anyways, I also finally got my hands on this erotic film that I've been trying to get ever since Violet Blue mentioned it on her (now defunct) podcast a couple years ago. I dunno why I didn't get it sooner, I guess I searched for it but came up empty handed so I just forgot about it. It's actually not as great as I thought it was. It's kind of like a little interview and then they have sex, for what reason I don't know haha. I guess it turned me on a little bit, but it was unusual.

So after that, I think I watched a couple more episodes of Hana Yori Dango. It's funny cause I am actually starting to understand some of the words and phrases. I love it. I love Japanese. I'm working on my writing right now. I love writing Japanese, it's so much fun! I've really just got to get it all down, at least hiragana. I'm up to ma, mi, mu, me, mo. So that's...like...30 characters or so. I also need to just work on basic dialog.

I've also been busy with my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate), every time I type in Cisco, I type in Circa, as in Circa Survive haha. Bad habit. But this past week ltdan  and I had our first study/review session and I think I did pretty well. I love how I can actually understand most of this Cisco stuff, it amazes me. But I guess when you love something you will actually put in the time to learn it and hopefully become relatively proficient in it. Unfortunately there was a bit of a "fiasco" on Thursday where ltdan  didn't show up at all during the day, so I freaked out and every was like oh his phone is probably dead and he's busy but I was like noooooo, maybe something happened to him, so basically I was a wreck the entire day...of course, guess what it was...he was busy and his phone was out of battery. So yeah, I felt like a complete moron to say the least! So yeah, we didn't have our study/review night...cause I hadn't done my labs...and get this, he did have them done, so that made it even worse haha. I did finish my labs that were due on that night though.

So yeah that's what I've been up to. Last night ltdan and I played Horde Mode in Gears of War 2. I wrote a little blurb about it on www.WithinMorgan.com so you can check that out if you're bored or something. After that I watched a bit of Hana Yori Dango and then passed out.

Woke up this morning, a bit later then usual. Had a bit of chat with Chris and then we went our ways for the day. I headed out to the barn, Brian showed up with some warm tea which was so nice of him. He's really the greatest boyfriend hehe. Then he helped me with a few chores and then he had to go do some homework and stuff. He can never do it at my house cause we always end up fooling around LOL So he gets nothing done. I think he'll be coming over tonight though for some dinner and then back up to Burlington for him. He's so cuuute. Hehehe.

Tonight, nothing much going on. Chris and I might work some more on the hard drive I killed, which had SOME VERY IMPORTANT files on it. I did this on Friday night I believe. Most importantly it had mine, emilie 's and raf 's Warcraft characters on it. I mean I've got a backup from like November or so, but it's too old. I am really hoping Chris and I can recover it, or I am going to cry. I might play some Xbox later on, I'm starting to get a bit hungry, so I'm going to head off, make some tea and a snack and then work on a bit more Japanese, and chat with raf obviously <3

I've had this page open since like 9:30am and I've written nothing. I keep getting distracted....

So this morning I finally got my cast off and now I've got a soft one, I think it's air or something. I wasn't paying attention. Made it to work around 9:30am and continued working on the Mac Pro I was pulling apart for login board replacement yesterday. Hrmm, maybe before I talk about today, I should talk about yesterday :)

Yesterday...work was work, spent a bunch time playing on AP and hanging out with the very cool and very nice people on there. Made a couple new friends so I was happy about that. raf was at some learning about XML thing all day, so we didn't chat at all, it sucked. I missed him so much. He always does the best job in making my day fly by! Went home around 4:30...slept on the bus (as usual). Got back on AP, hit 1000+ posts hehe, then Brian came over.

I wanted to watch Kung Foo Panda with him, but I ended up not having it. I thought I did, but I think the copy I had got NUKED, so I ended up deleting it. I did download a new copy though, but I obviously didn't have it in time. We ended up watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, a movie I love.

So, Brian, I suppose I should tell you a bit about him huh?! He's my brothers friend, I've known him for a while, I guess he's my friend too, but he's probably more my brothers friend who I've always kind of liked. He's 19, I think almost 20. He's a grade above my brother, but they've always been buddies. He came over on Thanksgiving, it was actually the first time I'd seen him in a while....we're all so busy! We kind of just hung out, caught up and stuff, and then the other night, Monday, he saw my Twitter (stalker???) and he brought me some hot chocolate while I was working at the barn. Cutest and best thing ever.

So anyways, he came over last night. We watched a movie, he didn't really try anything, which I thought was cute too. I mean he put his arm around me and I snuggled a bit closer to him, but that's about it...well, sorta...he did kiss me good night, but I don't know if it was like kiss as a friend just cause, or if it meant anything, I don't know what I want it to be...I really don't...I am so confused about boys sometimes...he also texted me when he got home saying he had a really fun time. I did too. I had actually wanted him to spend the night, but he had class in the morning...

I sometimes get that butterfly feeling about him, but I dunno :P We'll see!


Ok, so today...yeah, went to the doctors, got rid of my hard cast, it's amazing!!! Got to work, been working on a Mac Pro pretty much all morning. Finished it though, returning some phone calls now. Playing on AP too, although it's pretty quiet...I am sure this afternoon it'll come back alive!! I'm going to work horses tonight, that will be fun, maybe call Brian at some point see if he's doing anything tonight, I hope he doesn't get sick of me haha

I actually got to play some Dead Space on Monday. I made it a bit into Chapter 2, I am so slow at video games...well most of the time hehe Definitely a wicked awesome game though, I really like it. I think I might buy that Scorpion Suit on Marketplace. Not much else has been going on...oh I did a bunch of work on You Are The Scene, Dave is a really great guy. 

Just chatting with Jason now, and slowly posting on AP...thinking about getting some lunch at some point...yummy!

Alright, besides the fact from not being able to hear much of anything still, things are good. I've been popping pills for my wrist pretty much since I woke up. Been doing a bit of server work, got the two Sky Eats Airplane albums and I love them!!! Another new band for me! Also updated the layout of my journal. I like it :P Featuring Secret and Whisper, and I'll probably change it up every so often.

Hrmm, chatted with raf but we haven't been to talkative as of late, dunno what's up with that. :( Today, I've also done the horses, but only feeding, I'll be going out within the next hour or so to work with them. Probably just free schooling, because I can't ride...

Umm, yeah.

xoxmorgan

 I think I know where I'll be this weekend!

I think I'll plan on going on the 14th since I'm not doing much that day. I CAN'T WAIT!
