Sooo today I tried making the Powerpoint again for the Joomla presentation, failed, and instead resorted to doing drugs and mixing it with alcoholic beverages and then taking a drive; all while cursing and using the lords name in vain.

I think I’ve pretty much offended everyone by now, blog mission: accomplished!

I got about halfway through the rough-draft outline when I decided to go on a rampage and start completing my portfolio on my website.  I know, CRAZY!

Naw, it wasn’t that bad, but seriously, whoever invented outlines was a genius.  I spent about 2 hours staring at a blank Powerpoint, got up, played piano for an hour or so, and then came back and was like, “Why did it take me so long to think to do an outline first?!”

Nope, still no idea.

Crunch.

Crackle, Crunch.

I look up from my outline festivities and over to the noise.  My cat, and, I’m not even kidding here, was trying to get inside of a Macy’s bag.  It’s not the first time she’s done that, either.  Case in point:

That, is the box to my Christmas Tree.  It’s made to fit, SHOCKER, a Christmas Tree.  I go to pick it up, and I hear a loud “Meow!” come from the box followed by a soft thump as my cat hurdles to the other side of the box.  Of course, I put the box back down and she didn’t even come out!  Oh, no.  Emergency situation where she is dying in my Christmas Tree box and she doesn’t even try to escape.

This, is the Macy’s bag today.  Yes, she was asleep.  No, I did not force her to go into the bag nor was there catnip or a fluffy warm blanket in there.  I paid 10 dollars for each cat bed, and my cat. is. asleep. in a 10-cent paper bag.

Step 1.  Invent a bed that is enclosed like a box and/or bag, make the bottom hard-ish and yet soft like carpet.

Step 2.  Patent/Copyright said bed.

Step 3.  Profit

Step 4. ???

Man time has flown.  Why it was just the other day I was touring campuses it seems, and I look at my blog and I haven’t blogged for almost a month!  So many things happening all at once; where do I start?

So, I sent off my application to Carroll University.  I’m hoping that by only sending off one application, that it means that I will be accepted.  It’s either that or saw off my limbs and sell them to the black market in order to go to Marquette, because THAT is what it will cost me.

Let’s just say I did a little good-luck dance as I sent off my application.

Secondly, yes, I’m doing web design in my free time.  I have no idea how I got roped into this, but I’m going down to a convention sometime later in January to give a PowerPoint presentation on Joomla (kind of like Mambo and Wordpress).  No idea why, just because I hacked Wordpress to bits and have it displayed so prominently, that people think that I’m an expert on content management systems like Wordpress and Joomla?

God help me.

Also, over New Years I drank entirely too much; and I have to say that if any incriminating pictures end up on the Internets, I can neither confirm nor deny what happened.

You KNOW that it’s a good party when a boyfriend, which happens to be the boyfriend of the owner of the house, ‘fell’ onto the toilet and SHATTERED the water tank.

Yeah, I know that the pictures are horrible, but they were taken with my cellphone.  Nothing says “Happy New Years” like a broken toilet!  Also, I did get a kiss on New Years when the bell tolled midnight, however I’m not sure if it was a kiss or a slobber…Eh, we were both drunk, so who cares!

Oh God, I was just looking at everything that I need to explain, and don’t think I can do this selling pitch to all those people in a few weeks…

Although I try to reassure myself that it was my communication skills that got me to this spot in the first place as far as giving the powerpoint presentation, I’m still nervous as hell.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Now, excuse me while I go and cry silently in the corner.
