112… car and more
yup, see the last two posts for pictures of my new car
i think it’s HOTT – notice the extra t
so yeah, love the new car… i’m going to try and get my parents to let me bring it to tech for spring semester (why they don’t let me have a car here in the first place is beyond me)
Still haven’t really done any work, luckily i don’t have anything due tomorrow.
I feel bad cause i didn’t work on ORACLE at all over break.
Over break Ford (roommate) took his wireless router home… upon bringing it back to Tech, he forgot the power adapter for it. Upon researching it on the internet, i found that it took a 12 V power supply… simple enough.
Apparently not, after trying one 12 v power supply, and it didn’t work (it turned on, but the lights kept blinking) we decided to press on and try every powersupply we had that fit into the router…
On a website I read that it could work with power supplys between 4 and 27 Volts… and was safe between 7 and 22 volts… well i had a 20 volt power adapter… why not… supposedly safe right?
WRONG
Plugged it in and it smoked!
yeah… not good
luckily we both have long ethernet cables, so those are stretched across the room right now to our ‘office’ area. but i am left without a connection to my desktop computer (an inconvience) but that really isn’t a big deal. i’ll probably help pitch in to buy him a new router (they’re pretty decently cheap nowadays) since i was partially responsible for it’s demise (he was there and approved the whole thing though…)
Nite all…

MY NEW* CAR
*new to me
Parents just sent me a pic of the new car they got for me, (my old car’s head gasket blew, rendering it undriveable)
95 Honda Civic Ex (Coupe)
Manual Transmission (score!)
VTEC engine
Sunroof
Six speaker stereo system (though apparently the stereo it came with sucks, but i can fix that)
i say that’s pretty damn good for a 9 year old car
Buzz Aldrin quote
‘You do what’s in front of you… You get into it. You do it. You have a certain amount of faith, and you charge ahead. It’s not like you’re calculating a risk or having concern about the consequences. You do the best you can and be as alert as possible - and calm and clear-headed in the midst of chaos’

note to self: down 5
To find myself again
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can’t seem
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
and then there was… 111
So I know that when it’s time to sink or swim Everybody has a face that they hold inside
Something in here’s not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia’s all I got left
I don’t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It’s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
I’m paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like
a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like
I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like
the face inside is right beneath my skin
Points out all my mistakes to me
You’ve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia’s probably worse
I don’t know what set me off first
But I know what I can’t stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can’t add up to what you can but
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
yup, leaving for tech at 8 AM… why am i still up?
no idea. haven’t gone to sleep before 3 AM any night that i’ve been on break. I guess that’s because it’s more peaceful at night and I can do whatever and not be bugged
for the road tomorrow, i’ll probably watch i, robot and the day after tomorrow… i may switch the girl next door for i, robot… but i just watched that so maybe not.
Thanksgiving was good.
I’m thankful for:
my family
my friends
having a job for winter break
3 available unencrypted wireless access points (although, somewhat spotty)
going home tomorrow 
Sorry for no
