Seriously, I spend most of my time playing as a Solder, Sniper, Scout, Spy or Engineer. I'm not a big Pyro, Demo, Heavy, or Medic fan.....uggh.

Evidently what they are trying to do with the Heavy update is give him an option that makes him less dependent on the medic. I would definitely play that kind of Heavy.

Right now I play Demo/Soldier, and Scout occasionally.

Hahaha, wow. So much hate. But yeah, her voice was kind of grating and the music was kind of tinny and repetitive. Thank god.

Several Raves:

1. I bought some espresso and started using the Espresso machine my uncle gave me a couple of Christmas's ago. I made a couple of cafe lattes for my girlfriend and I, and they're amazing. I'm going to get some chocolate syrup and make mochas.

2. This could have potentially been a rant. I've worked for two weeks on a quick search engine at work. In order to make it I had to learn an entire system that my team had written years ago, learn Struts (a framework for designing complex web pages), and java server pages. I had everything working great, the search returned the right results, and it even allowed the use of wildcards so that you could do something like A% and get every customer's name that started with an A. The point of the quick search was to launch a new window with a list of customers, then the user could click the one they wanted, and it would close the window and repopulate the original screen.

Turns out the funcionality I was using made everything possible...except for the opening of a new window. Since the searching is done server side, I can't display the results in a different window.

So now I have to learn AJAX, which greatly annoyed me at first. But now I'm pretty excited to be learning it, it's going to be really useful later on when designing my own websites.

3. I finally found a copy of The Watchmen at a local bookstore. Walden Books is now officially my favorite book store. It's great so far. I also bought the second book in the Twilight series.

4. It's the weekend.

Finally got the bank caught up on the advancing (issue a few months back killed me financially for awhile). Bank charged $1 for every $10 I borrowed and been the hole since then. Finally got 3 weeks of pay on one check, paid off all $550 in one shot, and been frugal like no other to ride out until next payday.

Currently sitting on $33 in my bank account until Friday

I have been keeping up on everything else bill wise, I just had to keep borrowing from bank so that's been killing me on getting other things caught up.

This is a weird rave, but one of my residents came out to me. Which is a very proud moment for me since he feels safe enough to talk to me about it.

dude was black.
And he wasn't hitting on me.

He was one of those kids everyone knew was gay, but I wasn't going to say anything to him about it. His business and all that. He came to me today to discuss some personal problems he'd been having.
