itchy without scratchy

why i can't ever get away, or allergic reactions

so, i don't think anyone but gloyd or smith know about this yet, aside from my wife, but i got poison oak again. where was i hiking you ask? nowhere. the only place that i can figure i caught this damnation from this time is my f*&%ing christmas tree. i am so super allergic to this stuff, that i only have to get near something that i has been near poison oak, and i break out. this stuff is spread by oils secreated by the leaves of the plant. the oils can even travel on smoke particles if the plant is burned, and i've gotten it this way too. i hate this stuff. but at least it got me out of working today. it's starting to it again though...

on having a beautiful, but stupid christmas tree

so i really like our awesome christmas tree [save for reason mentioned above]. it's a beautiful nine foot tall doug fir. amanda and i decorated it earlier this week with all sorts of cool ornaments. her parents even got us an awesome sterling silver locket-style one that has pictures us of from hawaii in it. very cool. i can't wait until next christmas when i have my ornaments from growing up and we can put mine on the tree too.

going back to school

so i was officially accepted back into the university, and pending financial aid, i'll be back to finish my degree next semester. im really looking forward to being done.

amanda had an interview

so amanda had an interview this week with biola, and they really want to give her a job. the one she applied for was already filled, but they liked her so much that they are submitting her resume to other departments trying to find her a place there. pray that she would get a good job there. it would be perfect for both of us on so many levels. we could even car pool to school/work.

my entire body is starting to itch, just thinking about being itchy

and finally

i've been playing a lot of GTA San Andreas lately over at the bayou. i really like shooting stuff and blowing up cars. i found this code that you can do to get a jet pack. i fly around and blow up the police until i get four or five stars, then they chase me with hellocopters and tanks. then i take my jet pack and fly to the top of a tall building to make my stand. the other night i shot down 10+ choppers (it's hard to keep track) i eventually ran out of RPG's, regular grenades, machine gun amo, assualt rifle amo, and was left with a worthless shot gun, a 9mm, a pool cue and a sniper rifle. so i did what i could. i actually took out one bird with just a single shot from the sniper rifle. it was pretty freakin sweet. thiking about it now makes me want to play again. im glad i dont have a PS2 here at home though, because i wouldn't ever find time for important things; like writing about GTA on my blog.
