31 January Hell YeahSo I got my test results back from the clinic today (only took them a week) and they have decided I am normal. Personally I think they're wrong. I'm sure pretty much everyone who knows me thinks so too.
Karli was supposed to start radiation today, she told me she was leaving at 8 AM to go to IA city, and she's gonna be doing that for six weeks, and then chemo for 9 months after that. She's in really good spirits, so I know she'll be ok.
I can't wait for this week to be over with, too much crap to do. I have a test tomorrow in my Geol 100, a debate to get ready for my CJ/soc 484 class, and I have to do research for my Engl 302 class, plus I have to clean (massively) my apartment for the energy audit on thurs. Lucky me.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 29 January With these lights off as these wheelsSomeone finally told one of the regulars on the cops forum how immature she was being and I'm sticking her comments on here before they are deleted. This is how it started, generally when new people come on they start a whole bunch of threads with questions on them, which makes perfect sense, cause if you wanna know something about cops, why not ask on a cops message board? But some of the regulars are getting annoyed that the newbies start a bunch of threads rather than having one thread with all their questions in it. To me, it makes sense to have a bunch of threads cause then if someone else wants to know the answer to the same question they don't have to wade through one thread with a bunch of questions on it. So, one of the newer people told one of the older regulars how stupid it was that she was getting annoyed over this. The two players are D and L
D's post to one of the newbies:
OH MY GOD!!!! P L E A S E, P L E A S E stop it!!!!!!!!!!!! You have made sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many threads, you're really starting to pi$$ me off!! Get a grip, and put it all in ONE THREAD....LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous, and borders on harrassment!!!!!! Good lord, cut us all a break, eh?
L's reply to D: not to be rude, pretty new around here...but do you think rudeness like that helps or even curbs them from doing it? I would think the more you "yelled" at them and called them losers, tools, etc etc, the more they would do it to annoy... And I'm not posting this to bring your rude remarks my way. I'm making a point. The more you do that - the more you drive them to get under your skin and annoy you. They now know how easy it is to annoy the regulars around here and so why should they stop if it's that easy to get you going on a tirade? Someone once told me that if you corral your goats and hide your buttons....no one can "get your goat" or "push your buttons"....let them do whatever they want...if you ignore them - they'll go away a lot faster. And on another note - last I checked this COPS forum was for anyone who wanted to post something. I've seen no rules posted that specifically say they must ask 20 questions in one post... D: <<let them do whatever they want>>. WRONG. If nobody points it out to morons that don't have a CLUE, this entire FORUM would be nothing but BS!!! Like Ice is saying, we IGNORE people that get on our nerves, hence, they accomplished NOTHING by making 1,000 threads about the same stupid $h!+ over and over again. LET ME CLARIFY: You won't find MANY members that respond favourably to ppl that make this many threads! B and myself told the young member, A, this EXACT same thing. Smart young man that A is, he DID make a thread and asked all his questions there. Low 'n behold!!!....people started to respond to him; and he's become a well-liked member of the forum at his young age of 14. Y'see, it's not rocket science....it's called COMMON SENSE. L: My next question would be...is....if you ignore them, why do they get on your nerves? I'm curious. I'm not trying to get another argument going and I'm not trying to argue with you or any of the other regulars. I've been observing this forum and rarely posting for about week or two (would have to check when I started - I don't remember). Since I've worked in LE for 13 years, I observe. This is what I've observed: a new person comes on here (this does not include the dolts looking for dates from cops; the badge bunnies; or the jerks who just hate cops) I've noticed a teenager or younger aged person post a question...instead of getting an answer - they get yelled at. whether it be their first post or not - someone of the "regular" crowd yells at them or calls them an idiot or calls them stupid. It's rude. Don't bother ignoring me, I'm not coming around here anymore - I didn't come on this forum to watch "regulars" have chats up the a$$ all day long and when newer people try it - the "regulars" have a cow and throw temper tantrums like the newer people are "invading" their space. It appears to me some have gotten terratorial with these Forums and that's not what I'm here for. D: You can read above what I added to your post. Apparently, I was adding that on as you were typing to me. I WILL NOT have a pi$$ing contest with you about such a moronic subject. Have a nice day.
L: I didn't realize I was in a pi$$in contest. Darnit! someone should have told me that what I needed to post in this forum was an arsenal of pi$$ so I could get into contests! The addition to your post meant nothing to me. Common sense tells me to show compassion and be nice to people - no matter how idiotic they are.
After D's blow-up to me, I don't quite understand why she takes everything so seriously on there, it's for recreation. It's just not worth it, I can spend my energy on so many other things.
Speed of Sound by Coldplay comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com blog in subject line 28 January All the inventors could never designInteresting Cops episodes tonight. The people just kept talking, there was some lady moving out of her boyfriend's (?) house and she kept going on about God, and spiritual stuff, and how her boyfriend is a criminal, yadda yadda, yadda. And then there was one where they got a stolen car, and the chick in the passenger seat just kept talking and talking. Jeez. And then we have the guy that kicked in the door, and while the officers are talking to him, saying how he has to go to jail. He replies "I have to go to jail?" Well, duh, you broke someone's door down, you think they're just gonna tell you not to do it again, yeah right. So, only one hott cop tonight, Ryan Cook from the Las Vegas, NV PD.
I worked the more or less sold out Kansas game today, we had 13,000 something, the place holds almost 15,000. I love the responses we get when we tell people they can't bring their food or drink in. It's usually "I can't?" Well, why the hell do you think I said you couldn't, just for s and g's? I had someone try and bring a bag with donuts in today, I asked her if there was food in the bag, if she just had food in it, if she had just said no, she'd been able to take it in, it was a yummy donut. And the girl that had a $3.00 bottle of juice, it was a small bottle, so there's no way I would spend $3.00 for it, but whatever. And the runners that wanted to come in and use the bathroom, like that's gonna happen you all could just wander into the game and we'd never know. Come on people.
If You Ever Stop Loving Me by Montgomery Gentry comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com and please put something about the blog in the subject line, otherwise it's bound to be deleted. 27 January Hard rains, rough roads, how my life goesPlease tell me someone in my vicinity who reads this, has a bike. I'm so itching for a ride. It's driving me NUTS.
   Help me out here, people.

Like a knife that cuts you the wound healsI gotta close my mouth and wipe up my drool. Just saw a hott cop, Heath Ropp. Also, forgot Dale Colbert, and Geoff Huff earlier, sorry guys.
So I got together with people from my cj/soc 484 class tonight, that was at 7PM, it is now 1AM. We were supposed to be working on a debate that we have to do next Friday, I believe we spent about 15 min talking about that, and the rest (minus 5 min to see when we would meet next) talking about guys, and classes, and ink, and other stuff. So we decide at midnight that we have to get up tomorrow (Fri) and all leave. Well my ride and I are going down a road and all of a sudden this car's lights go on (on the other side of the road) and this cop pulls out behind us, hits his lights and pulls us over. I was saying maybe I know the guy and I can talk her (my ride) out of a ticket, didn't know him (there's a lot of hott young new guys on the force here), so while he's checking stuff, we're sitting there and laughing, I swear if he had come up on us while we were talking he probably would have asked us to do some tests. But I got his business card, cause he's hotttt.
And I have to go to bed, where I doubt I'll be falling asleep.

26 January Not only me, but everyone around meTiny update at the end. Nothing structured today.
I've been having some freaky dreams lately, which is really weird cause I don't usually have nightmares (mostly cause I don't generally get scared). So Tuesday night, I had this dream that my teeth fell out. I just tugged on them and pulled them out, freaked me out so much. And then last night I had a dream that my brother shot himself. Freaky
Alright, after much debating, and helpful chatting with Goddess, I'm posting the hott cops in my town. Hopefully it will boost their egos, right? In no particular order, Jeff Brinkley, Tom Shelton, David Schultz, Mark Mills, Nate Rivera, Mark Watson, Jamie Miller, (and one more who's no longer here, but still hott) Chris Bozeman. If I get flack from this, I might remove it.
I hate doctors. I has woke up to stomach pains on Tues, so I went to the doctor. Here's what I was told "It could be any number of things, but I don't know what it is. I'm going to do some tests, which may or may not tell me anything. If it gets worse call us." Yeah, ok. You guys get paid the big bucks for what? That's exactly what you told me last time I went to the doctor. So nice, that I missed my two classes to be told that.
My boss passed this on to me, ladies, you'll get a kick out of it.
Dear Kotex,
I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of "Kotex Tips for Life" on it. Annoying advice such as:
-Staying active during your period can relieve cramps.
-Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.
-Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh.
-Try Kotex blah blah blah other products
Obviously the person behind this was someone who has never possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman TO HER FACE that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. See what happens and report back. I'll wait.
While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the chocolate from the vending machine. I guarandamntee that the first responders will be females who just ovulated.
Look, females don't need or want tips for living on feminine hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like that from their elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own recipies for survival, many containing alcohol. Printing out shit advice while sneaking in ads for the brand THAT WAS ALREADY PURCHASED is just plain annoying, not to mention rude and enough to send a girl running to the Always brand. Mostly we'd like to forget that we even need these products. It's not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the packaging. Put the shit in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our carts discreetly and have it blend in among the wine and beer. There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store. The ultimate goal of your product should be functional invisibility at every stage, including at the point of purchase. So take your tips for living and shove them right up your ass!!!
(Try drinking six to eight glasses of water to make you feel fresher while you're doing it!)
Ovarily Yours

Oh my god, the WB is rerunning episodes of ER starting at the beginning, anyway, Anthony Edwards (Dr. Green) was in Revenge of the Nerds, and on today's episode, Robert Carradine (the guy that played Louis) was on today. It was so cool, the "Nerds" were back together.
Well, that's all I got today. Mists of Down Below by The Duhks (yes, I know it's country)
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 25 January The drifters going door to doorA little disclaimer for people today, somebody pissed me off in the forum I frequent, so I'm complaining about them, and the rest of the people on there, so if this doesn't interest you, don't read this one come back tomorrow.
So I go to this forum that I've mentioned on here a few times, and now this one bitch is mad at me. Here's what she posted to me today:
There's a difference between IM'ing and "stalking".....telling Jason you could find him. That's called "stalking". It's quite unattractive & desparate; and like I said.....Steph and Jason plan to meet personally. You are no threat, you're just annoying the h3ll out of them. They might not say it; but I DO NOT mince words. Never did, ain't gonna start now. Well, you're the only person on the planet earth that could turn **your** friends' brain tumor tragedy into something about YOU. That was the straw that broke the camels' back with me. I called you on it back then saying that you were being negative and if your friend ever needed you NOT to be negative, it was at that time.
If you're truly in a clinical depression, then seek the help you need. I truly mean that. I do not wish you ill will. Nobody can do it for you. Personally....Chris and I are very happy go lucky people that seek out humour and enjoy life to the fullest each and every day. We BOTH find it extremely hard to relate to ppl that aren't thankful that they wake up everyday drawing breath. If you do that, then be thankful. The alternative is grim. That's all I will say on this subject. You and I are two extremely opposite ppl, and that's fine...but I can't deal with some of the depressing stuff you write. With that, I wish you well.
And my comments on that, apparently some people have to go and tell others absolutely everything that they talk about with other people, and they don't quite get a joke when they hear/read it. Why the h#ll would I stalk some a$$ (or anyone for that matter, HELLO, I"M WORKING ON BECOMING A COP, that's a great way to get there) I don't even know. I have no idea how we got to that in the conversation, but we did. Oh, wait no, he told me he lived in Chicago, and all I said was maybe I'd look him up next time I was there, implying that maybe some day I wouldn't mind meeting someone I chat with on the board, but apparently you people are too f#cking dense to figure that out.
And it's a good thing she lives in NY cause making that comment about my friend and her brain tumor, cause obviously somehow it's about me WHAT???? She is my best friend and I would do anything for her, since I've found out about it all I'm trying to be is supportive for her, my mind is (when I talk to her) not about me, I don't say anything that would make her feel bad about herself, I don't have to explain this, she and all my other friends know exactly how we feel about her and what we would do for her, I will not justify the way I feel about her.
Oh, and the depression thing, I'm not depressed. I am high on life, just cause I don't have what you have and get out of bed excited to meet the world everyday (generally cause I'd rather just be on a motorcycle most of the time, it's spring, almost, and I'm sitting in classes), I am thankful, but like most people, I don't think about it. I honestly don't even know what the f#ck she's talking about, maybe when I'm in a bummed mood I post depressing stuff, excuse me for being in a mood, oh wait you do the same d@mn thing, when you're b!tchy you share it with everyone, but it's ok if you do it, I see.
And I know I'm gonna catch a lot of heat on this, but maybe someone got something else messed up when she had her operation. I've been on this board since I'm guessing early May, and this chick was nice to me then, but when J got into an argument, of course I was wrong cause she's been talking to J since God knows when, so I changed my forum name and started over, but ever since her operation, I seem to get the brunt of her bitchyness. FUCK OFF!! Oh and thank you so much for the backup on therne people. I may no longer sign in and post on there, but you can bet your asses I'm paying attention, as far as I'm concerned there's only 2 people on there that I care about any more Goddess and Doug, Goddess pretty much stayed out of it, which I don't mind and Doug defended me on another post. So thank you, you two. Everyone else, I don't know you. I understand why some people don't come back to the forum, when people take one tiny thing wrong and then don't even want to hear what the person meant, then I don't want to be a part of it anymore. That seriously hurts that people do that, but why should I care about a bunch of people that I don't know? Oh, sorry about this you two, I forgot two. VBPD, and luvavbcop. I care about them too, very sorry about that.
Lucky for you all, I calmed down a little before posting this, it could be a lot worse. It just upsets me that people turn against you for no f#cking reason. At least I have real friends other places that wouldn't do that to me.
Oh, and the other thing I was thinking of that seems to bother people on the forum (though it's totally hypocritical of them), we have some gays/lesbians that come on and tell us that, which I honestly don't see a problem in it. But then we have our above regular who is quite offended by it, and yet she comes on and posts stuff about her sex life with her husband. How does that make sense? Her's gets a little deeper, when the only thing the lesbians' do is say they are lesbians. This may also get me some heat. D that I'm talking about (the above poster) and others seem to think that there is something wrong with you if you're gay, like it's a disease or something, well sh!t if you have that reasoning than being straight must be a disease too. I think that's half the reason they get 'offended' cause they have to realize that it's a natural thing that people are gay. If it bothers you or you think it's wrong, ignore it, that's what people do isn't it? H#ll there's people that don't think the Holocaust happened cause they ignored it and all the stuff that's put out about it. Guess what it happened, also people are gay, deal with it and move on, just cause you're wrong, doesn't mean you have to push it in everyone else's faces, and try to mess them up as well.
Ok, I'm stopping now, I have to deal with classes, and I don't need to be worked about stuff that doesn't have to do with classes, I don't have time for that, I have projects, and papers, and quizzes, and other crap to do.

comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 22 January The blood on our hands is the wineThis is so Goddess's fault, I was watching last night cops tonight, and we were discussing the hott cops (It was like hott cops night) and she said I should list them on here, cause maybe by some slight chance they'd email me, I'm not holding my breath, but I'm listing them anyway.
In case, any of my readers (that I'm not aware of) are guys, y'all will know what I like. Still debating about listing the guys here, maybe in another post (cause I'm sure they're dying to know who i think is hot)
Allright here ya go: Hott cops on COPS last night: from Fresno, CA Paul Cervantes; Fort Myers, FL Walter Mickey; and Las Vegas, NV Jeff Harper. I tell ya it was so HOTT cops night.
So, I think I taught my pig to beg. It's so cute, she gets up on her hind legs with her nose in the air.
The weekends are so never long enough. It feels like it was just Friday. Bother.
Oh, and if anyone has a totally sound stomach and a messed up mind like me check out this website, it has some of the nastiest looking pictures on it. Ironically they didn't bother me, whether it's being hit by a train or suicide by shotgun, but the mold on my clementine just grossed me out. I am so not normal.
Oh, and yesterday's was "Lay Your Hands on Me" Bon Jovi
And as always, email me with comments weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 21 January the ride don't never ever come for freeSo I've seen this in other blogs and I just may start putting it in mine.
Current mood: content
I'm sitting on my bed, lights off window shades open, 5 candles burning around the room and 2 tiny lamps on, with 100.3(a mixed music station) playing. One of my candles (actually probably a couple of them) has a fragrance, and I'm enjoying it. It's so peaceful. The only thing that might make it better would be a cuddle partner.
I miss people replying to my emails. I remember once during my freshman year at ISU, I was sitting on the floor of Carver (cause it was next to a wall plug) having an email conversation with a buddy of mine. Since we were both on lunch breaks, it was a steady conversation, I miss conversations. Meaningful at the present time, but maybe not later. I don't get those anymore.
So, my screensaver on my laptop is a "My Pictures" slideshow, and I recently found out you can stretch small pictures so they take up the whole screen, looks pretty good.
At the basketball game I was working today we had the Navy (I think) colorguard there, I miss seeing guys in uniform. I guess I see the cops pretty much everyday, but I think I'm getting bored of seeing the same people in uniform, I miss seeing lots of people in uniform on the Tuesdays and Thursdays here when the ROTC's dress up, I guess they're just not out when I am.
Depending on how comfortable I am here, I may not watch COPS tonight, of course I'll be taping it, but I haven't willingly not watched a new cops episode since I started watching them. Wierd.
Oh, almost forgot, yesterday's was from With or Without you by U2. Also if you only checked my blog once yesterday, I did keep adding stuff to the bottom of it.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 20 January Sleight of hand and twist of fateI love it how random people just think they can contact me. Like people on the cops forum, you see my name, so you think you have a right to email me. Well, you're wrong, I don't know you, I'm not about to talk to random people. Kinda like the one who keeps talking to me right now. "Well, your email is public, so I thought I'd add you to my messenger list" Are you that desperate for friends that you just email/IM any person.
Yes, I know I can't really meet people without talking to them, but, tough. I don't like talking to random people that email/IM me out of nowhere.
It's 28 degrees here, not that cold, but there was a girl in my 11:00 class that was complaining that it was so cold her ears were cold she "almost put her hood up" God forbid you protect those ears and put your hood on, oh wait, you might mess up your hair. It annoys me so much when it's cold and guys and girls just care about looks, so if your hand falls off cause it's frostbitten it's ok as long as you look good. People are idiots
Yeah, it's snowing again, kinda curious if it's gonna stick around for awhile. The ground's not particularly warm, so it's not melting when it hits it, but...
I hate being ignored. I found out today in one of my classes the only time a certain person sits by me is when their other friends aren't there, I'm a back-up so they don't have to sit by some random person. I get that you have other friends in there, that I don't have a problem with but when you're sitting right next to me, and you ignore me the whole time, that's what bothers me.
Maybe I'm just being selfish.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 19 January I feel stupid and contagiousI was watching CSI tonight and it was a triple murder, these high school guys killed three people in a family, where the father and mother were growing weed and selling it. The 10-yr old daughter had to listen to her family being shot and killed and trick her way out of being poisoned, she also left a "bread-crumb" trail of bubble gum, hopefully leading the cops to her, which she did. These boys ran out of bullets so they couldn't shoot her, they were going to tie her to her family and throw her into a lake, instead they attempted to cut her throat. She lived. The opening scenes of the show had her narrating in a whisper, which is explained at the end of the show when she's telling Nick (one of the CSI guys) what happened. I always hate the ones that involve kids (hate as in this could actually happen). It got me to thinking about the most memorable ones I've seen in all the years it has been on. I know these have titles, but I have no idea what they are except one.
The one I remember is "White Buffalo" This one is where a daughter enlists the help of her boyfriend to kill her father, mother, and 2 brothers. Her reason was because her father sexually abused her, getting her pregnant, and making her have a daughter, which he was sexually abusing at the time, and her mother and 2 brothers because they knew it was happening and didn't do anything about it.
There was also one where a 5 yo kid accidentally killed his baby brother by dropping an oven mitt on him, making the baby suffocate. Only the parents covered it up, coming up with a story that the baby was kidnapped and then leaving it on a golf course, because they didn't want the story of how their child actually died in the news.
The one where this lady has a disease that makes it so she drinks/eats human body parts. That one was just freaky/wierd.
There was one where this old woman became mummified in her closet after being locked in it by a burglar, she died of starvation. And to just listen to Grissom (the head CSI guy) explain it, is just painful to listen to.
I may remember more episodes, so you might check back again to see if I added any more.
Also, saw a commericial tonight, that was just so precious and cute. It was a pedigree commericial that you can find here, it's the we're for dogs commercial, keep in mind this is the Australian site, so there's an Aussie accent, but it doesn't make it harder to understand. I love dogs, unfortunately the one I saw is not on the website, it was 'We're for shelter dogs" as in animal shelter dogs, the other commercials are "We're for dogs" and "We're for puppies". I love these commercials. And if for some reason you don't like dogs, well there's something wrong with you.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com Fall with broken burning wingsThe last lyric was from P.O.D. "Youth of the Nation"
I'm trying to listen to stuff other than country. I love country, but sometimes I just need a break, and it's fun to listen to stuff that's not 80's music.
I found this when I was looking for stuff, see if y'all can make any sense out of it.
Rambling
Lead me away from the here and now
Bleed me dry from the sould inside
Show me the way to pure happiness
Leaving behind the pain,
And numbness of living
Burn me free from the hate inside
Help me shine to show the peace
Where is the love I long to have
The freedom to break out of my shell
No longer do beautiful colors paint my world
All that exists is the white, black and the in-between
These three hues blend to become life
These three shades show no glory
These three are all there are
Good, evil and the in-between
No thinkng, just the blow of words
And yet there is a form to it
No rhyme, no reason, but perfection is achieved
Philosophy churns my mind
Spitting out nonsense
Where there was none before
The patterns are dry creating clarity
All is bright and fresh
Purple dots and orange swirls
Green diamonds and red
Flitting away into oblivion
Creating everything and nothing at the same time
Fear and pity, love and hate, normal and not
Though not is more fun
Create what you want
Undecided, lots and confused
I shouldn't have to say this but...keep in mind this is my work, and is copyrighted, so please don't take it and pass it off as your own.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 17 January The same situations Just different facesSo a little quiz for y'all that read me, I'm taking Carrie's idea of using song lyrics for titles, see if you can tell me what songs they are. Keep in mind they're not all country (if you know me, I generally listen to country),
Well, I just got my routine down, and they go and screw it up again. Had yesterday off from classes on account of it being Martin Luther King Jr., Day (and if you don't know who that is, something is totally wrong with you). So today, had to remember it was Tuesday, no sleeping in.
I did get to go out to lunch that was nice, only stirred up some longing. My friend, Tara, and I went to Dairy Queen, went to the one in campustown, which is very close to The Asylum, where I've gotten all my tattoos, made me want to get another one. But I don't have money to spend on that now.
 Of course, if someone wants to buy me one...And then once I got to work, broke my nail. Now, if you know me, I don't generally care about broken nails, but I broke it down past the white part. So the white part broke off, and the part on top on the pink bent back, and gave me a blood blister or a bruise (I generally don't bruise that easily) so, now when I press on it, it hurts. And of course it has to be the thumb on my right hand (I'm right-handed). Such as life
Went to a Criminal Justice Club meeting tonight. Speaker from ATF, that was interesting. Wasn't really that interested, cause I have no urge to go into that.
Explain to me why when people are nervous or scared of the cops, they lie or run. Cause every time I see a cop (generally in uniform), I am running, and I don't like to tell the truth. I just don't understand.
comments to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 15 January Take your instinct by the reinsSo it's gorgeous outside, and I went for a walk, and I figured while I was out I'd go visit Karli (since I hadn't talked to her since she got back). So I walk over there and ironically, she's not home. So I called her mom's cell, and Karli picks up, she says they're out running errands and will be home shortly. When they got home we chatted. She looks good, she's still having trouble walking because her eyes aren't focusing well and she needs a walker to help her walk, she also needs a 'spotter' to guide her, and catch her in case she starts to fall. The incision is pretty big, her brother measured it, 9 inches. We had a good visit.
I saw so many bikes while I was out, I'm so ready to be back on one, yes I know it's still January, but wow! our weather is great. The bank clock said it was 53 degrees when I walked past. I walked to DQ for lunch, and when I came back, I decided to go on my walk, first time I left I had my leather jacket without the liner on, I got to Duff and decided I was too hot, so I went home and switched to my jean jacket with a T-shirt, when I got to 13th, I decided I was still too hot, and took off the jean jacket. How often does that happen in Iowa in January?
I'm loving this weather.

13 January Excuse me?So, I'm out to supper with my parents tonight, and we're talking about what I think I'm gonna get this semester (keep in mind, semester just started Mon), and my dad asks if I think I'll get a 4.0 (A's in all my classes). And I said no, because I know even if I tried my absolute best the whole semester and studied my ass off there's no way I would get an A in every class, sorry but no. And my mom says in the 22 yrs of my life she'd say I was an underachiever. EXCUSE ME? I don't care if you honestly think I am, you don't go and tell your kid that. And I'm guessing she meant in everything. Doesn't matter that I've excelled in art, gotten pretty good grades in high school, and not too extremely bad in college (yeah, I've had to retake a couple classes, but...)
I should know better than to expect stuff. I thought I'd made a friend in one of my classes on Wed, and expected to have this person sit next to me today, but knowing how great my luck is and how much circumstances in life like me, I should have known that wouldn't happen. Course that Marine I noticed on Mon sat in the vicinity and I finally got to show him the silver dollar, that was a plus.
In another class, we have debates and my prof was saying he needed volunteers for the first debate, and most people in this class don't have the book because the book store got the wrong book. So of the 8 people that volunteered, my prof was giving 2 books to people that didn't have the book (pretty straightforward, right?), and well one of the people that already had a book took one of the books and gave it to a friend that wasn't even in this group. I mean, come on, our prof stated the books were for the people that didn't have books and were in the group. This is a 400 level class, you have to be more or less smart to get this far in college, this class is made up of juniors and seniors
So, the mail brought greatness today: art cards, books for class, Feb Reader's Digest, and a letter from my penpal. I always look forward to those letters. It's always nice to have someone that 'listens' to me and replies back.
I'm watching cops and this lady bought some crack and called the cops to get the crack dealer busted, but she's surprised that she's getting arrested for possession. Criminals are not very smart. But we need more of those druggies.
Email weinkermeyer@hotmail.com with comments 12 January VentingSome students just aren't very smart. Now I don't mean in classes, but in simple things.
I was riding the bus today and the 9:00 bus is very full, apparently lots of people have 9:30 classes. Students just don't understand that if there's seats open you should sit in them, but not only that, at city hall, about 4 stops before campus, lots of people come on and they get on and pretty much just stop. And on all the rest of the stops before actually getting to campus, they don't understand that they need to move, so other students can get on. There always seem to be plenty of seats in the back, they just never sit in them.
Sorry, that bothered me greatly this morning, you'd think it's commen sense. But I've found out that things that are very obvious to me, are not always obvious to others.
comments please to weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 11 January Quick update on KarliUpdate from last night:
So, Karli is finally in her room. She is working with physical therapists, she needs a lot of help getting up and walking. Her eyes aren't focusing well, they were checked, and they're ok, they're just taking time to adjust back to normal from the surgery. When she gets better at getting up and walking, they're letter her come home, not quite sure when that will be yet.
And from today:
Karli may be going hme tomorrow. She just needs rehab now, and the physical therapy will come to her place for that. Her brains needs to learn to move her feet and keep her eyes focused. Her attitude is good, she seems to be handling what she's been through and will be going through very well.
comments: weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 10 January (Unknown)I'm so back in the swing of things and gosh isn't it exciting?
Yeah, not so much.So I got up early to be on campus to maybe (fingers crossed) fix my computer, so as always I was able to connect in Durham, so the lady said maybe it had to do with the access point, so we went to an older one, still able to connect. So they're gonna reboot the hub at the PSRR, and switch channels to see if that does anything, maybe. Otherwise "we still have lots of option" or so she says, we'll see, she said they could figure it out, I'm still crossing my fingers.
Soc 328: I like my prof, only seems like its gonna be a lot of writing, almost got me a cramp. Must remember to use computer next time, couldn't today cause the battery was very low (see above).
Soc 485: Same teacher, and time as my social psych from last semester. So not much new there, also had one of my classmates from social psych.
I have to say I missed Tuesdays, all those Navy (?) people dressed up. Love that, also must remind myself to come over to physics on Tues/Thurs, generally military here, also, can't complain about good looking guys.
Rest of the day is work, might go over to memory bound after work, get a little steam off. I have homework from the 2 classes today, so can't complain about not having anything to do during work. Gonna stop so I can enjoy a couple of minutes of lunch
Tiny little side note here: I miss my guys (cops, Marines, my Nat Guard guy, no one ever talks to me anymore.
 ) please email me with comments, weinkermeyer@hotmail.com 09 January It's overWell, that was fun.
Found out Soc 484 is going to be a lot of writing and debate. Also, couple nice (ok, a lot) looking guys in that class, I know for sure one of them's a Marine. Also, found out I bought the wrong book, seems to be something I keep doing.
Geol 100, we had to pick up stuff in the front of the room, so after I picked up my stuff and sat back down, I was watching people. And I noticed a haircut on one of them, I was thinking, 'That's a Marine' and then as he turned around I realized that Marine would be the one I met last year (fall 04) in my gov class, the one who USED to answer my questions but decided (about the same time as the other one I was talking to) ignore me. That's ok, I'm used to it.
And again, my computer decided to not let me use the internet today at work, and even though I told the chick on the phone it works fine when I bring it in for them to look at it, I'm taking it in again tomorrow. I swear if they tell me, well it works here fine I'm dragging their ass over to the reading room, and having them figure out why the hell it doesn't work. It's like they just don't listen, I've been through all this crap before and I'm getting a little pissed.
Engl 309, different professor, though I like her, thankfully she said she will let us out early, therefore I can call in and hopefully still get work. My boss said I could call in Tues for stuff, but what if stuff isn't open anymore, that's kinda annoying especially since last year, she let me call in early. Excuse me, that the class I need happens to be during that time that I'm supposed to call in for work.
And then, I chose to walk home cause I missed the bus by like seconds. The walk wouldn't have been that bad if I didn't have a bag with my computer, textbooks, food and other stuff in it. Though I am getting used to the walks. I keep getting home before the bus would even be at the stop on campus.
Got an update on Karli from her mom:
Karli was in the OR from 7:30 AM till 3:30 PM on thursday. She did not lose any of her mental capacities, she thinks and remembers things well. She has pretty good fine motor skills, but walking and eyes focusing will take a couple weeks to recover from, after the surgery. She might have to have Physical Therapy for awhile, and maybe walk with a cane or walker till recovery is complete.
Although she is still in Surgery ICU, she is mainly waiting for a room to open up on the neurosurgery floor. They expect she will be moving to floor 6JC soon. Her spirits are good. She has some pain in her head where the incision is.
Wow! Hot looking ice skater guy on Jay Leno, whatever's on ch 13. Gotta wipe up my drool and run (limp) off to bed.
We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Also wanna stick a side note in here, the clock seems to be a little off, it's telling me I started this at 11:09, nope, it was after 11, but later than that.
please email comments at weinkermeyer@hotmail.com WaitingWell, George came to visit me on Sat, he'll be sticking around for about a week. He always comes at the most annoying times, as if I don't have enough to deal with. And of course one of the side effects (actually I've never figured out any good things of him being here) is he makes me feel crappy, I swear sometimes I wanna stick a knife in him and get rid of him forever, but bad consequences if I do that.
I'm sitting here waiting, I've finished everything I need to have done before classes start (packed my bag, set up my VCR, done all my morning stuff) and now I'm waiting, guess that's a perk of not having class til 11, but I hate waiting, I'm scared that if I start something, I'll lose track of time
 , and miss my bus, which could be very bad, since the next one would make me late to class. And since, I know you're all dying to know what my week is like here you go:
Mondays: 11:00-11:50 Topics of Crime & Juvenile Justice, 1:10-2:00 Geology 100 (Rocks for Jocks), 2:00 to 6:00 work 6 to 9: Report & Proposal Writing
Tuesdays: 9:30 to 10:50 Masculinity & Manhood, 11 to 12:20 Sociology of the Family, 1:00-5:00 work
Wednesdays: 11:00-11:50: Topics of Crime & Juvenile Justice, 1:10-2:00: Rocks for Jocks
Thursdays: 9:30 to 10:50 Masculinity & Manhood, 11:00 to 12:20 Sociology of the Family, 1:00-5:00 work
Fridays: 9:00-11:00 work, 11:00-11:50 Topics of Crime & Juvenile Justice, 1:10-2:00 Rocks for Jocks
Not too bad, since switching English classes I got a lunch break for MWF, but I get that 3-hour class on Mondays, but then no more English for the rest of the week, and none next week.
Waiting, waiting, waiting...
