Geek at Heart
September 30th, 2002
Okay, so maybe I am a geek (*smh@JT*) because I realize that TechTV owns me. My friend, Andrew always told me at work how great this channel is and I was disappointed because I didn’t have cable at the time. I first saw TechTV at my mom’s house about two years ago. Now that we have DirecTV, I’ve started to watch this channel regularly. Fresh Gear and Screen Savers are a couple of good shows on TechTV.
I love technology and building things. As a child, Legos was my favorite toy, not Barbie. Yeh, I wanted to be an engineer, but that didn’t work out (if you know me, you know the story behind that). Still, I conclude that I am a geek at heart but not a nerd, JT! lol
Five more days until my new job starts. I’m getting a wee bit excited.
My friend, Terenie, sent this to me in an email. I really don’t care if the Rams come back this season or not. They are probably losing on purpose anyway.. good draft pick, the game is rigged, etc. I’m sure this pissed of my bestfriend though:
It’s all sad, but true:
Q. What’s the difference between the St Louis Rams and the Taliban?
A. The Taliban has a running game.
Q. What do the St Louis Rams and Billy Graham have in common?
A. They both can make 60,000 people stand up and yell “Jesus Christ.”
Q. How do you keep a St Louis Rams player out off your yard?
A. Put up goal posts.
Q. Where do you go in St. Louis in case of a tornado?
A. Edward D. Jones Dome – they never get a touchdown there.
Q. Why doesn’t East St. Louis have a professional football team?
Another Test
September 29th, 2002
I actually thought I was going to have a higher score than this lol:
Another one… The Personality Test
Rashaan,
MASTERMIND
(Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker )
Like just 8% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this “scheming.” Don’t learn German.
Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader–you’ve definitely got the “vision” thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.
Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.
I think Mastermind suits me well *insert Dr. Evil laugh*

25 Signs You’ve Grown Up

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”
10. You’re the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good stuff.”
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to,” replaces, “I’m never going to drink that much again.”
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you.
Only thirteen of these apply to ME. How about you?
I Hate It When
September 26th, 2002
I hate it when:
I have random power cords around the house and no clue what product it goes to.
Every time I think I buy enough hangers, I still don’t have enough. And I know for a fact that I haven’t bought any new clothes. Where are these extra clothes coming from?
I thought I set the alarm correctly for work, but umm oops I put 7PM instead of 7AM.
I can’t find my house keys and it’s time to go to work. There always in the first and last place I look, my purse.
I set my timer on the VCR to record something I REALLY want to see and somehow it magically doesn’t get recorded even though I’m not the average schmo who doesn’t know what she’s doing. I know how to work electronics.
People lie to me. Liars suck.
My manager schedules me to work when I was supposed to be off. Or I have to stay late at work because someone is running late or can’t come in at all. I get called in on my off day. Plenty of scenarios and excuses.
I get overly anxious or excited about something. It leads to disappointment.
I procrastinate, although procrastination plus Rashaan equals inevitable.
There is family drama.
I have a paper cut or when I cut a hang nail and I cut too deep. OUCH.
I have sneeze attacks.
I get a run in my pantyhose and I have no extras, which doesn’t happen that often because I almost always have at least two pairs!
There is nothing but literally two drops of Kool-Aid in the fridge and no sugar left to make another pitcher.
I got a taste for a bowl of Honeycombs but the milk is spoiled.
I have no clean clothes to wear to work except that one outfit I hate to wear.
I’m listening to my favorite CD on the bus and my batteries go dead.
I burn a CD and it FAILS.
I can’t get my hair JUST RIGHT.
I get my hair done at the salon, it looks perfect right, then I walk outside and the humidity is so high that my fair flattens down like a pressed piece of Buddig meat.
American Idol Reunion
September 24th, 2002
LOL
Jor eLL s: whats your nickname for hotsex?
Auto response from miss rashaan: cooking.
Jor eLL s: ah ok just checking
Umm, why did they need an American Idol reunion with the top 30 singers? I enjoyed Tamyra singing, ‘A House is Not a Home,’ but otherwise, the little that I watched was a complete waste of my time. More than half of them sound horrible. There’s a reason why they didn’t make it in the top ten.
A few days ago, my scanner went kaput while I was scanning a DirecTV listing. The glue on the glass from the flatbed scanner loosened and pulled away which caused the scanner to get stuck everytime it tried to scan something. This was a birthday present from JT. My wonderful man bought the warranty on the scanner and BestBuy replaced the scanner for him yesterday. JOY.
Black Exploitation Television is coming out with their rendition of MTV Cribs, entitled How I’m Living. “Spend an evening inside R&B sensation R. Kelly’s indoor rainforest.” Umm, I hope there’s nothing up in there to incriminate him or *cough* his brother.
St. Louis Cardinals have clinched their division, but what the hell is going on with the St. Louis Rams?
Weekend Story
September 23rd, 2002
I had a decent weekend. Saturday was my first day back at my job. I told my manager about how I got a new job, but I still wanted to work there part-time. He reacted better than I thought; however, he jokingly refers to me as ‘deserter’ to everyone that walks by or talks to.
I’m really excited about this new job. 10.07.02. I need some more professional outfits, so I will be ordering a few out of my new Lerner’s catalogue. The messed up thing about Lerner’s catalogue is that they put ALL the good shit in the catalogue and none of that stuff is in the store. They force the working woman to buy all the suits through the catalogue.
Lovely Day
September 20th, 2002
Today is a lovely day indeed. New opportunties in life, it feels so good. I got a call today that could change a lot of things for me (and JT) for the better. I got a new job today!! I was so excited I played Ike & Tina Turner- ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Nutbush City’ and ‘Fool In Love’. JT was Ike and I danced my ass off like Tina in the hallway ROFL
The only bad thing… my boo is at work, my bestfriend might not have a babysitter and I’m sitting here in front on my computer. I wanna celebrate, but I’ll wait until tomorrow I suppose *smh*
Or I could look online and see what kind of drinks I can make with Kahlua. That’s the only alcohol I have in the kitchen ;
What’s the deal with the following:
“Fuck a splash page, just enter.”
This is a trend on websites as of late and I’m sick of it. Why is this shit necessary? Just go to your little index.html or main.html, whatever you call it. Just don’t have a near blank page with that phrase which then leads me to your site. Waste of your time and MY time. UGH.
New CPU Pahlease
September 19th, 2002
I recently switched from Frontpage 2000 to Dreamweaver MX. I must say I am truly enjoying Dreamweaver. It’s functions suit my needs way more than Frontpage.
JT fixed a lovely meal this evening. Shrimp Scampi with baked potatoes and garlic bread. Oh my goodness, I thought my belly was going to explode. He says WE cooked it, but I didn’t do much. He told me how much olive oil, parsley and so on and I simply dumped it in and stirred. It was still his creation. Three hours later and I still am full. My babbee can cook *unf*
Yesterday, we went to Saint Louis Zoo. We spent all of the afternoon there and I had a wonderful time. I took my camcorder, and we took several snap shots of our adventures. When I upgrade to a new cpu, I’ll be able to post pics of my collection from my camcorder directly to my pc. I’m waiting patiently. This was our first time going to the zoo together. I’m ready for the Science Center, Art Museum and the History Museum :D
Umm I go back to work from my vacation on Saturday *big sigh.* No I do not wanna go back. I really wouldn’t mind an in-home business right about now. Gotta pay those bills ya know?
