It's been a rough few weeks. I've been slowly ebaying off my record collection and looking for a new job. I got in a minor scuffle Friday night and lost another tooth (yes, 2 fights, 2 lost teeth).
My YAY comes from the fact that my mom just informed me she was gonna "fund" my Roo trip this year. I really needed a yay on a Monday.
Sorry about the tooth. Good luck on the job search. Yay for the Roo fund. Ebay link please.
Awww.. GL, Sorry to hear about the teeth but sorrier to hear you are divesting some of your vinyl. Just make sure you don't part with the good shit you'll regret.
YAY for getting roo goodies in the mail! Thank you sooo much for thinking of me, custeph! I adore it <3 AND I've already made my sister jealous with it, which is one of my favorite things to do.
I got one too! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I serioulsy love it so much! It makes me so happy. THANK YOU!
Me too me too!!! I LOVE IT! I was having an great Passover and then came home from seder to find my amazing gift which just made it even better. Thank you SO much custeph!!!
My other yay for the day started out as a grrr.... we got hit with a $1400 car repair bill yesterday, which was pretty devastating to be honest. Then I got a call from our accountant this morning; turns out I overestimated my taxes owed...by $1400! So no 'free' money but we break even and I don't have to cancel any summer trips, which is great. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, UNIVERSE.

Not so much a YAY as just a happy surprise. I've had a stressful day at work and I log in to facebook for the first time today to see a random photo that someone has tagged my aunt in. Instead o being a photo of my aunt, it's a photo of some gals that my Dad photo bombed back in the 60s. I can't help but smile when I see it.

My dad washed my car. Little yay, but good nonetheless. It looked like I drove through a salt mine.
The inside wasn't too pretty either. And I cleaned out parts of my trunk, which had way too much crap in it. I think dust caked and baked on the dashboard though. Oh my.

I had my yearly evaluation today and I was worried that I would be getting my butt handed to me due to recent events. To my surprise and delight it went well and I got .50¢ raise.
Also came home to find a lovely bracelet from custeph!

So tonight I got chewed out by my parents. It's not really a Grrr, I know who they are and what they do. I live in their house, I'm their blood - but we're so little alike that I'm just like WTF and eventually carry on with my own life.
Inforoo is a special place to me. It's a collective of like minded people - who enjoy life, who enjoy music, who are genuinely good people. People who do good deeds for each other, take care of each other. I can think of Clemson Steph sending out Christmas ornaments, a little surprise in the mail back in December. I can think of Forecastle last year, LLL calling me and asking if I was in town yet. I can think of Popsicle Sarah bringing up some beers for me from Asheville on her east coast tour, and then going out of her way to meet up with Heather and I in Providence before heading to Maine. I can think of getting invited to parties in Nashville, 1000 miles from home. And then there's Fawn and Don ... where do I even begin? Little or big, a bunch of people around here make me feel like I'm a part of something really special. Something I hadn't ever known until 2011 or so.
My blood family sees me as this negative black hole, a depressing train wreck, and an embarrassment to themselves. They don't know the real me. They don't really want to know the real me. They don't like much anything about me, what little they do (care to) know. They won't see the real me, the positive and happy Brian. Between Heather's family, my good friends in Occupy, and my friends at Inforoo - y'all know me more than my blood family. Y'all respect me and appreciate me more than my blood family. I know I'm not perfect - but for those of you who care for me, who show me love and friendship - I can't thank you enough. I'm happy for being able to add a little happiness and positive outlook in your life, or would like to anyway.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I just got up and walked across the room and back unassisted! Not usually a big deal, but I have a ruptured disc, sprain, and torn ligament in my lumbar. When I say "unassisted", I'm not talking about my blood/lortab levels, although I'm sure it's a deciding factor. I'm gonna go find the drunken rambling thread now. Hi.

Nice Greg! Just counted up my days since I quit smoking on Feb 18th and I've saved at the very least 185 bucks. By saved, I mean I haven't spent that money on cigs, but I do not have it in my possession, it has been eaten by car repairs and bills but that part belongs in the Grr thread Yay for Chantix, friends/family support, and also it's Dave's Bday!!! YAY!

Whooohooo Abra! I'm on my last pack of Chantix. I stopped taking it when I had to start taking Lortab for me back. Docca say I need a backiotomy! I think I'll keep the rest of my Chantix for if I'm stupid and fall off the wagon, so it's easier to get back on. No plans on any more smoking though. (This is a big deal for both Abra and I, we were recently both pretty heavy smokers.)

Congratulations!! I know exactly what that feels like (I have a full spinal fusion and degenerative disc disease)... first time I could walk after my fusion it was a major milestone. Kudos to you for getting there.
YAY for the quitters!!! What a huge accomplishment & I want you to know that I am sooo proud of you!
Me thinks we need a Rooers with back problems thread. mizvalentine, I totally need to chat with you because that is what I am looking at. Been putting it off, but I'm not sure how much longer I can.
