By the way, did I ever mention that no matter where we go, people think Bryce and I are brothers? Its kind of creepy.
One of these days I'm going to say yes then lean over and give him a huge kiss. hehehe.
So my life is going to be hectic this week. We have to get the house cleaned up. We have slacked a little and the house is pretty messy. But we will get it all nice and neat this weekend. Bryce's dad is coming over for thanksgiving. He will be staying the week with us. It should be fun.
Also, on an interesting note. Last year my mom and my sister were able to get the name of the man that my moms mom (I refuse to call that woman my grandmother) cheated on her husband with. That little incident is what resulted in my mother being born. for 53 years mom had no idea who her real father was, and last year they found him.
He lives in Arkansas and has another daughter. He is married as well.
I have yet to meet the man. But he is coming to moms house for thanksgiving. So its pretty freaking cool. Mom has actually gotten the chance to meet him, but she is flipping out to get to spend a holiday with him.
Its weird, ive never had a grandfather. The one on my dads side died when I was very little, and of course, on my moms side, those people were insane.
So it should be an interesting week. I get to juggle 2 families. Fun times!

Oh, your mom found her father? That's really cool. I hope that works out well for all of you.
We're having a small thanksgiving get together here. I guess it's gonna be Dad, Timmy, Rebecca, Her brother, and Granny. I look forward to Thanksgiving, and Christmas with family.

congrats on finding grandpa! maybe the old coot will be loaded, and feel guilty! we can only hope, yes?
I am glad Steph is dragging granny along. she gets so upset to be excluded. Her other children all make mention of inviting her, and then it never happens. sad. just sad. I invited her, but she wont come.
chakoteh is up here visiting. We are having a blast.

That's good to have a new member of the family. I hope he is a nice guy and you all get along. Some people in my family have been pushing me to find my dad. But I am not interested. Its a differant situation though. I am not the result of an affair like that. My dad and mom WERE together and then he cheated on her and pretty much left us on our own. I was a year old. Why would I want to look up someone like that? Anyways, I have a dumb question to everyone. When people get into a vehicle together, what does it mean one some person says "I got shotgun!"? I've heard this term since I was a kid yet I never bothered to ask what it meant cause I didn't want to seem stupid. But I'm sure you guys won't be quick to judge, right?

Anyways, I have a dumb question to everyone. When people get into a vehicle together, what does it mean one some person says "I got shotgun!"? It's not something that's used over here... but I think it means that they want the front passenger seat? That's what I always thought it meant, anyways. Hope everything works out for your family, Kik. Luckily I was raised by both my parents, but I rarely if ever see my Dad these days. He and my mum have split up and divorced and all that. I'm lucky if I see him twice a year.

UC is correct. It means that person wants the front seat..
The grandfather thing is kinda weird. Im not really sure how to act around him. Im just used to not having a grandfather.
Oh well, Thursday I get to meet him.

Ugh I think I am coming down with something. Thursday I woke up so congested I was getting sick as I coughed. Not so fun when we have company here.
Today im not congested anymore, but my chest is in pain when I cough and it feels harder to breath. I hate to say it but this happened last year when I came down with pneumonia. I really cant afford to get that sick again.
I got to meet my moms dad. I have a hard time calling him my grandfather, only because I dont really know the man. But after looking at my mom and him together, its so obvious that they are related. It is really amazing actually. He has a great personality and really likes my mom. You hear so many horror stories about people finding their parents only to have them hate them for looking. But he is pretty cool. Brought her a christmas card with some cash for her. Didn't tell her about it but hid it in her bedroom when she wasn't looking. It was a nice surprise.
Mom was so happy, and it made me feel good. She has missed out on a lot in her life so to see her like this really is great. I got there before everyone so I helped her finish thanksgiving dinner. Im not sure What is going on but all of a sudden she is just so happy with little things I do. I have been able to visit her more lately than usually, so maybe she is just happy to see me.
I did get to surprise her with a christmas present. She loves Celine Dion and it just so happens that she is coming to Tulsa. Im probably going to die of Boredom but mom is so excited to get to go. The show is February second.
Then on the third, Bryce's BRother is flying us to Seattle for a late christmas preset. We get to go there when his baby is due. Im so jealous, but it will be awesome to be there when it happens. Bryce's side of the family will get to be there together. It will be a lot of fun.
This past Saturday Bryce and I went to see Nine Inch Nails. This was my first time going to a concert like this. I have been to a Tori Amos Concert, but it is nothing like what I saw. You sit down and just listen to her music. At NIN I was up on my feet just moving to the awesome music. It was so fucking loud but in a good way. I had so much fun. Too bad the T-shirts cost me $35 each though, but it was worth it. great show.

Hahaha So they had this thing on ScrewAttack where the people on the site made a video of the games they are most thankful for. Its for thanksgiving. They allow user blogs so I wrote one up for the games that I am most thankful for. The ones that ruined my life. screwattack.com/node/13452I'd post this in the video game thread but I'm already on a triple post there. XD

Old Computer:
Pentium 4 2.66 GHz 1 Gig Ram Radeon 9800 PRO
New Computer
Pentium 4 300GHz 512 MB RAM Radeon x300
So the processor is better on the new one but the ram is half. But thats ok, I can just salvage the ram off the old fucker and put it on the new one. The onyl thing I don't know is the graphics card. That area isn't my strong suit. So is the 9800 better or is the X300?

I don't know much about Radeon graphic cards but generally, the higher the number, the better...but your guess is as good as mine as to what the X means...Probably some variant of Xtreme <.< Which probably means "not so good." But iono.
I got a new comp too, it's a Dell XPS laptop that I got on sale for Cyber Monday:
XPS M1530, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.5GHz/800MHzFSB, 6M L2 Cache) 4GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm, for XPS M1530 15.4 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ TrueLife LCD with 2.0 MP Camera for XPS M1530 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (<-- love) 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for XPS M1530
The regular price on that was supposed to be around $2100 and I got it for $1300. Yay deals. >.> I'm not happy about dropping that much cash but you can't pass up a deal like that. And it comes with a free 2year warranty too so I'm happy about that.

Hmm the 9800 has more power I think, but if im not mistaken, the x300 is a DX10 card. So its hard to say.

I don't think I'm gonna keep the computer. Myabe let my mom have it. I did some more looking around on it. The hardrive is super small. Its only got 34 gigs on it. My current one is 107. Not great but its better than 34. I think I should just buy a new computer alltogether nd just suck up using Vista. Either way, I need something new cause WoW and everything else is starting to run like shit. In work news, my job sucks right now and it will for 2 weeks. Yesterday my boss brought in a high school kid for work experience. The kid is super low functioning. He has the speech disability so its hard to understand him and he's not very good at the job. I know its not his fault but hes still getting on my nerves. I'm not a person that has the patience to deal with these kinds of people. I know some people do and have it as a profession, and I respect those people, but I am not one of them. I don't get mean to him, I try to be nice but in my head I am going insane. The kid has no boundrys. When he talks to you he is right in your face and is also patting me on the shoulder or poking me and he doesn't freakin shut up! And with the disability I don't know what the hell he is saying so I often times have toget him to repeat shit. And that gets tiresome too so i often just nod my head as if I know what hes saying. He's bossy too and impatient. We have been super slow these last few days so I let him take over the area while I did some small side duties. He asked me to hand him a pot in the sink. Which is fine, we were slow so I went to grab and he freaks out at me and screams "HURRY!" And then later today I was talking to another coworker since there was no work to do and again he freaks out at me. "GET BACK TO WORK!" Like YOU can tell ME what to do! AND....he gets offended sooooo easily. I said "oh my god" yesterday and he told me not to say that anymore cause it offends him. Who the hell gets offended by oh my god? Its not like I said god fucking dammit or jesus fucking christ or jesus christ on a moped or anything. He even threatened to beat me up today if I said anything bad about jesus. Which I wouldn't at work anyway cause thats just asking for trouble. I'm not scared that he will but just the fact that he said that brings my blood to a boil. I kinda feel like saying "oh my god" tomorrow at work to see if he hits me. If he does I can just go to the boss, tell him what happened then he can get his ass shipped on outta there. Maybe thats too mean. Either way, I'm not gonna stop saying oh my god just cause he can't handle it. I know its not his fault and all and I shouldn't be too critical. But I'm not the kind of person that can handle these people. I don't have the personality for it.
