After two, yes two, trips to the license bureau, I have successfully renewed my driver’s license until 2014.  Two trips were made because I was not aware that I needed to bring my birth certificate with a ‘raised seal’ on it.  Damn the terrorists making things more complicated for us non-terrorists.  I do find it odd that the last time I renewed my driver’s license was before the September 11th attacks, though.

For some reason, I was caught off guard when I was asked if I was registered to vote.  On a whim, I decided that I might as well go ahead and register.

(No, I’ve never been registered before.)

(Yes, I am a thirty-something year old American citizen.)

(No lectures needed, thanks.)

So now I sit here, with all these political ads running on TV in the background, and wonder… who would I vote for?

Uh….

um….

well…

Heck, I don’t know anything about anything.

Especially when it comes to politics.

Maybe I’ll just accidentally forget that I’m registered…

I’m so confused as to why my cordless mouse (powered by 2 AA batteries) always seems to run out of juice with no warning.  The mouse only seems to die when I’m using it, also.  Which, for some reason, usually happens two minutes after I’ve let my roommate use the computer.

There are two things that aggravate me about this situation.

1 - There is a warning message that pops up on the screen when the batteries are low.  I hardly ever receive this message.  Which means that the message pops up when my roommate is using my computer.  You have to click OK to get rid of the message.  Which means that he clicks OK and never relays the message to me… or even considers changing the batteries by himself.

2 - After the warning message pops up, you need to immediately change the batteries.  There is very little time left before the batteries are dead.  Very very little.  After the batteries die, you can get a little more use out of the mouse if you keep pressing the reset button on the bottom of the mouse.  I keep extra AA batteries for my mouse literally 6 - 8 inches away from the mouse… but instead of changing the batteries, the roommate will continuously flip over the mouse and press the reset button with a pin.

I don’t mention it to him because its really a petty stupid thing that isn’t life altering.  I will continue to live even if the roommate never realizes the ease of changing the mouse batteries on his own.  But, it still aggravates me, none the less.

Is there something minor like this that occurs at your house that drives you batty?

I’m feeling a little sad over the whole GSE2007.

I’ve only been able to find four people to sign up under me. (I’m still looking, I’m still looking!) Which means that my prospects for getting cool socks has dropped dramatically. Especially since my four people are struggling to find any takers on the GSE2007.

See, my peoples peoples are the ones I get my socks from.

At this rate, I think I might be lucky to get 7 pair of socks out of the deal.

See how this makes me sad?

I wanted 36 pair of socks for the price of one!

I’m going to go look through my email addresses and see if I can sucker talk anyone into the GSE2007…

Its one thing when a person calls you out on what you’ve written in your own blog about yourself…

Its another thing when you completely make up vile and rude things about a person that you’ve never met.

Talk about immature and just down right stupid.

If you’re going to throw words around, you should at least make sure they’re true, instead of pulling false statements out of your ass. But, you seem to be pretty good at making things up about people, as we all noticed a long time ago.

It would appear that someone or some of their friends have found their way to my blog.

I wonder if they think they’re going to find me writing about them.

Even if they were as wonderful as they think they are, I wouldn’t waste my time.

I’m not into all that crap. In fact, I think this is the most I’ve EVER mentioned them. And, they’ll never be mentioned again.

Just know that I can see how many times you look at my blog.

Maybe I’ll show my friend how to get that information tomorrow…

I just got my notification from Amazon that my book is being shipped! How exciting is that?!

Now, do I resist opening it on Saturday (when I know I don’t have enough time to read it all)?

I know I should wait until Sunday. But, I might have to have a little peak on Saturday. Yet, I know if I open it, I’ll be sucked in immediately.

Am I pathetic?

Don’t even begin to talk to me about the seventh book until Monday. In fact, I might not even check blogs until Monday, just to make sure.
