Another day, another day closer to graduation. I can't believe we're already almost a third of the way through this quarter. That's almost impossible to believe. Work for me this quarter has still bee pretty light compared to last quarter. I'm glad I saved a couple of the easier courses to go along with my capstone and got all the lab stuff done with last quarter. One of my professors has actually looked into a summer internship for me and found a few options, so I'm really happy about that. One's even closer to here since I specifically asked for the Valley. I'm glad that I'll have the option to do that over the summer. It's extra money too, which is really good to have when you have a kid, I've noticed.
This summer, I've decided, I have to sit down and plan out everything, too. Plan out what I'm going to do to get my license and other parts of my life to. It's probably about time I did that.
Micki's demanding attention and probably breakfast, so this is going to be a short entry. I have to get ready to head out to class anyway. 8 AM classes can really suck, but hey, whatever gets me my degree.

Micki's already a quarter of a year old? Well, tomorrow she is. Damn.
I'm glad the end of the period is on a weekend. It makes it a lot easier for me to actually have a chance to do it. I actually have some time for me on weekends and don't have to throw almost all my effort into school. School's still going crazy, and we're bearing down on the end of the quarter. I'm really hoping that next quarter isn't going to be this nuts. At least my capstone is next quarter. That's not as much as a lab class as it is a research class. There will be a little lab work, I'm sure, but not like this. I'm looking forward to that quarter a lot. I hope this quarter ends up being my busiest ever. I don't know how I would manage a quarter busier than this one.
I never feel like I'm spending enough time with Micki. I'll be very glad when summer comes along and I don't have to go to school at all and have the whole summer free to just spoil the hell out of her. She's so damn cute. I don't know how anyone can handle being so cute. It must be really hard. Well, it doesn't seem really hard on her. She just does it and people flock to her. I have noticed that Little Mick keeps trying to steal her away from me. Just because she's named after him and he's the godfather does not give him stealing rights, but he obviously disagrees. Malice just lets him do it, too. I don't find that fair.
I think he has her right now, too. I think I need to hunt him down and take her back. I probably won't succeed, but it will result in baby laughter, so all's good. Bye.

I am so tired and so not tired. I have a baby girl now! She's so small, but all two times I said that, my mom and Malice both hit me. I think my hand might be broken, but I'm not sure. But I have a beautiful baby girl. Her name is... Micki Annabelle. Malice couldn't resist the Micki, so she's named after Little Mick, who was pushing for us to name the baby after him along with around half of the other people who live here. Little Mick gets his way a lot. She weighs 10 pounds and 13 ounces! My mom squealed when she say her. Then tried to claim her. My baby. Malice is staying overnight because she bled quite a bit, and Micki is staying with her. My mom is out shopping for her. She's been doing that for at least three hours now. I wonder how much she's going to bring home. I just came home to get some things and type this. I'm going back to the hospital to stay there too. And, oh, I have to call my professors. I didn't get a chance to tell them I wasn't coming in tonight, and possibly not tomorrow too.
Okay, I have to go now. I think I got everything. Update done.

Oh God. Malice said it's time. I'm not ready for this. It wasn't supposed to come so soon! What do I do?! I don't know! And now I have to go. My mom just whacked me and told me to get off of here. She's excited as can be.
Oh God, her water broke. Gotta go!

Pushing this a little close, eh? Hey, I don't think I'm last, but still, it's pushing it a little close. My parents are here now, and my mom's been pretty giddy the whole time. She's just a little excited about the coming baby. I'm getting more nervous by the day. Malice has veen feeling extra off occasionally over the past day or so, but no labor. I haven't had an easy time sleeping at night, but I'm not tired. I feel like I've had way too much caffeine, but I haven't. I'm just too excited.
I'm going to cut it short here, though. I hear Rippers coming, meaning I should not be on the computer. Bye!

Whew. I'm cutting it a little close, huh? I cut it close too much. I really need to stop doing that. Oh well. I'm starting to have to look forward to my finals now. School always has something for you to do, which is helpful sometimes because it keeps you moving. I think time goes faster when you're in school, and sometimes that's a great thing. It's really great when it means Christmas is getting closer faster, at least for me. I'm really glad that we have Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas just bam bam bam. It means something to look forward to all that time.
Thanksgiving will be great. My parents are coming over from Idaho, and I always love to see them. It will mean more comments from my mother, but hey. I'll take it. They're going to be staying for awhile, too. About an extra week. That's as much time as they could spare and still have time to come over for Christmas, and well, that's right around the time that Malice is due. They're hoping to catch the birth. They'll be going back December 7th. November 27th through December 7th... they have a pretty good chance of catching it, I think. It's coming so fast, and I don't know if I'm ready for it. I guess I just have to hope that I am, or assume I am, and go with it. Not like I could stop it, or even try if I could. Malice would hurt me.
We went shopping just yesterday, again, looking around for good deals on baby summer clothes. I found out that that's a great way to get great deals. We bought a small range of sizes, because we don't know how big the kid will be then, obviously, but even great clothes can be found for amazingly cheap prices. Paying a couple to three bucks an outfit is just something I can't turn down. Not only that, but a lot of winter stuff is on sale too so it'll sell before it gets too cold, so we've gotten a few things there too. I think we're pretty much ready. I hope that my parents get to be here for the birth. That will thrill them both, especially my mother.

Now that I'm finished with my late night studying, I thought I'd pop in and get this done before running to bed. Okay, it's not that late night of studying, but late night enough. I won't discuss everything I was studying either. I prefer to have all of my teeth in my head and you never know what some people will do.
The quarter seems to be going really fast. I know it's not the same for some, and I wish it could be because I worry about them. But we're pretty much halfway through this quarter already, and we still have a three day and a five weekend coming up. I like having Veteran's Day off. This has meant that I can't slack so much, not that I slack much at all when all I have left are my dental classes, but I still like to kick back.
Tomorrow, I have a midterm. That's why I was up late studying. I really didn't need to stay up late studying, but it gave me an excuse to spend more time with Malice than I normally would. She was my study partner, and yes, studying did get done, and not just of her. I'm not kidding either, and I'm sure I'll remember things better tomorrow.
I just hope everyone else comes through midterms all right as well. It's been pretty rough lately, especially with Bridget, and so distractions have been everywhere. But, I have faith in us. We'll get through. G'night everyone.

Hey, everyone. I'm really good at posting here just in time, but at least I'm not alone, right?
So hey, everyone. School's been going as usual, which is nice. I'm glad to have the Rippers with Damien and Wanda during the classes in which they have idiotic racist people. It takes a load off my mind, though not completely. It's a constant worry, still, at least those days. It would be really nice to have a whole year at school where we don't have to worry about anything. I would be very happy with that.
But it's not going to be this year. School work is all the same. My professors are decent, and I know them all really well, so I know what they expect and how they expect it. It's always a great to know the teachers you have. It's a nice edge.
What's hard to believe is that Malice's due date is getting all the closer. I have around a month to two months or so. I'm going to have a baby. I would get on buying things, but my mom pretty much said I'm not allowed and she's going to get everything. I think she might be getting ready to try and steal my baby. It wouldn't surprise me.
So there's my post and my update. Not much, I know, but that's okay.

Damn, I almost forgot all about this. I almost did it last night. I guess this should teach me to not put things off. But it won't, because I'm a procrastinator with things like this unless I think of something I have to write about instantly.
School's started, and it's been a lot of funny. I'm getting into some of the best classes now. I'm finding out that there are still things I don't know about teeth. That's because I'm actually acting like Damien and reading ahead. I get a little tired of the first couple weeks of classes sometimes. It's almost always review, and I get tired of that. Yeah, I know some people need it, and no blame to them, of course. I just don't, get bored, and so read ahead. Don't worry, I'll get back to normal about halfway through the quarter.
I ended up going to meet the dentist Gayle goes to now. He's a damn nice guy, one of the nicest dentists I've ever met. He's a great person to talk to. I call every now and then to keep in touch and sometimes he even calls me. We swap stories. More dentists should be like him, and more offices should be like his. If there's anything that's been consistently wrong with dentist offices, it's been how unfun they are. Yeah, you're not there for fun, but that doesn't mean you can't make it as fun to be there as possible. So kudos to them.
I got it in. I'm very glad I did!

Hey, everyone. Have to get my post in before time runs out. Nemesis would probably find a way to punish me by doing something to my teeth, and that, I could not take.
So, I refuse to lose this little challenge, and because of that, I'm posting. Malice has been pretty warn out for the past couple of days, what with the fair and then all the worry that came after it. I'm just glad that they couldn't mess with her at all due to her being at the fair with me. Now I'm a bit more worried about her, even though she's still tougher than me and will be up to the day she goes into labor. I worry sometimes.
Malice is doing great other than being tired and angry and a bit upset that she can't do much of anything she'd like to do about problems due to her being pregnant. She eats a hell of a lot, though. But at least she hasn't had any weird cravings. No ketchup on ice cream or brussel sprouts or fudge with pasta. Just cheesecake. Lots and lots of cheesecake. I'm glad my mother is helping with this. Her craving is expensive!
School starts in a little over a week. People are now more nervous over that than they have been due to recent problems. It would be nice if we could take classes together, but having our GURs done makes that pretty impossible. We'll just have to keep an eye on each other as much as we can. At least it's not difficult to get extra help with that. It's good that there are usually other people around too.
Speaking of school, soon I need to head out there and get a look at all the things I'm going to need for this quarter. This is my last year before grad school. It's hard to believe, but there it is.

My Joseph Sense is tingling. I sense that many posts will be made today as people look around and think "Oh crap! It's Wednesday! We have to post!!"
The fear of Nemesis is great.
So, hi everyone! I'm here again to say that things are still going great! I've been avoiding Rippers, distracting them with people, and living. I'm pretty ready for school to start up again. Bridget says that I'm proving that I'm becoming her subject because I mentioned labs and people in the same sentence last time.
They're also trying to get me into roleplaying. I'm not so sure about that. Dental tools, I can understand. Things that make Cheyenne and Grace get that gleam in their eyes, well that's scary. Note the mood.
I really don't have much else to talk about right now, so I'm leaving it at that.

Damn. It's almost been two years since I posted last. So now I get to try and catch all of you up. Not only am I married now, but I've got a baby coming. The baby coming came first, and no, I don't know what it is. Then the Rippers, well they're scary, but my mom is scarier and insisted I get married after that, so now we're married. It's still weird to think about, but I like it. It's been a lot of work too.
Malice is due November 21. It's coming up so quickly, and she's really big already, which is a bit worrisome. I can't help but wonder how big this kid is going to be. She's already grumpy about not being able to move about too well, and there's still over 3 months to go! She hates being waited on hand and foot and the Rippers expect me to do it, and I'm just caught between a rock and a hard place. At least she didn't have any discernable morning sickness. There were a few days she felt off, but I don't know if she got a little sick or if it was morning sickness. It's impossible to say.
So that's my life, oh except school. I'm still working on that. School doesn't restart for another two months, though. I still have a lot to do there, but that shouldn't surprise anyone. I do want to be a dentist, after all. It goes really well, though. I enjoy it a lot. It shouldn't be too much longer before I get to practice on real living people for labs!
I feel like Bridget.
So there's my update. I didn't lose!

So it's been pretty hectic around here, and yeah, I'm still here with all the rest. I'm going to Eastern in winter and Bridget's running off to Oregon the same time I start to continue school. It's been pretty rough on and off with things that I really have no business talking about. I guess I can understand Bridget's needed to get away, but it's still really hard to just sit down and accept it. I don't even know if I should. Of course, what right do I have to even really stop her? It's a tough situation and part of me wants to stop her and part of me keeps telling me it's not my business and it'll only fuel her ambition to get away if I do.
So there's the low note start. I have no idea what to do about it.
In lighter news, well Top Hat and Tamika are together. I didn't except him to do it so fast, but he did. So I proposed to Malice that day and now we're engaged cause she accepted. Still blows me away though. I'm staring marriage in the face, still wondering how I even got here. My mom's thrilled about it though. I think she's taken that whole planning the wedding thing upon herself cause Malice isn't interested in a fancy wedding. Ought to be interesting to see how that comes out. Wraith has been eyeing me all over the place too. That guy can sure make people nervous.
It's still strange to think that I'm going to have been out of school for over a year by the time I go back. It's hard to believe that I'm going to Eastern. It's still hard to believe that I'm engaged.
It's hard to believe this has all been cemented in less than a year. How quickly lives can change.
Guess that's enough for now. I'm hungry for breakfast.

Okay, Becky's had far too much sugar, and under threat of getting my ass kicked by Mike at her request, I'm here to make a post and use an icon that I was forced the use under the same threat. Do I have the words "push over" stamped on my forehead? Or is it the word "coward?" Maybe both!
Stop stamping words on my head.
So life. Malice and I are still together. My mother's still trying to get us to get married. Wraith is breathing down my neck for entertainment.
Life is typical.
And it's really bad when that's typical.
It's starting to get crowded around here, and it's interesting to meet all of these people. It seems like there's someone new to meet everyday. My mom's enjoyed the extra people she's been able to meet by driving back and forth. It's been nice to be able to spend more time with her. I really need to find out what the hell I'm going to do about school. I should have done this in February, but I slacked. People keep telling me to go to Eastern. I keep thinking that that's really expensive!
So I don't know. I guess we'll see how things pan out. I'll have to talk indepth with my mom about it since it's a tad late for most financial aid. I'm a terrible son.
Other than that, I've been doing the typical helping out, keeping people from being bored, and losing at cards. I've lost around a hundred bucks over the past months. Pretty bad since I've been playing Kendra. She bets candy, I bet change.
It adds up!

So, we just got back after being gone about nineteen or so hours. It was one hell of a day and a night, though. She ended up outside my window at 4:30 to make sure I was ready to go by five and we went of to Coeur d'Alene and spent some time there. We ended up in Moscow where, yes, I found a relatively nearby college with a dance program. Get Damien back on his feet, and we have serious potential there. Then we spent the time running around the college town. It was a lot of fun and we hit up the sports bar for dinner and Olympics, which was great too. We stayed there and then headed out and spent some more of the night on the town and came back.
Not hugely romantic, but then I don't mind, and hey, she was the one dragging me around, so I assume she doesn't mind. The dancing was a lot of fun though.
I won't go into the clothes she packed.
So, I'm tired and I'm going to bed. It's been a long, but enjoyable day. Hope everyone else enjoyed their day as well.

It's our turn for a blizzard. Okay, so maybe it's not snowing that hard, but it's something. Something that will be gone by the end of the day, but these days I'll take it. We're supposed to get this super arctic front coming through later in the week. Doug seems especially unhappy about this. He seemed more unhappy when he heard "lows of 5 degrees forecasted." I've never seen someone so distraut over weather, I don't think. My mom hates fog though. We don't get it really at all where we live, but traveling north in the morning we get it sometimes.
So I'm still here trying to keep Damien on his toes. It isn't easy, but it's something to do with my spare time that I'd be doing if I didn't have free time. I think I beat him at a card game the other night, but I was so tired, I don't know if I really won. Damien just says I won, but that's always suspicious. Yes, Damien is a suspicious sort. You didn't know? Where have you been? He's a shady character with shifty eyes. I know I've wondered about him since I first met him. I mean, come on, no one can really be that nice, can they? It's probably all a front and he's secretly some serial killer or something. I know he's at least a cereal killer. I've seen that happen. Those poor marshmellows.
All I know is many Rippers are gone. They have women and/or kids elsewhere and wouldn't dare be away from them for Valentine's Day. This takes so much pressure off of me for tomorrow. I literally felt it lift when I realized Hard G and Fly High at the very least wouldn't be here. I might have to get Malice up early and take her out for the whole of the day and the night. That will make it easier on both of us, I'm sure, and we can get away from the marriage talk. That's scary talk, and my mom still thinks it's a good idea. I'm supposed to be able to hide behind her! My dad just thinks it's funny and draws parallels into how he got coerced, which gets them arguing, which leads to things that I don't want to talk about. Yuck.
Malice is just now getting up, so I think we'll go find some breakfast either here or at Susan's. Hot breakfast is always good, especially eggs and bacon. I know a few who would agree!
On we go to count down until tomorrow.
Oh, a meme. I don't think it fits, though!

My mom's about to take me and Malice out to lunch, so here's a quick and fast update. I'm in Boise now and I've successfully dumped all my stuff out on my bed and out of my car. Malice can carry twice and much and I can, so she was a great help. I feel like gender roles got turned around at some point.
Not that that's a bad thing!
Okay, so I'm going to be leaving here Thursday, so I'll arrive in Spokane Thursday afternoon. That gives me plenty of time to make sure that I have everything together.
So I'll see you guys then!

All right. I'm back in Pocatello for the time being, but I'm not going to be here much longer. I have precisely five more days to finish up my incompletes, and I only have one more class to do that for now that I finished my lab, pack, and head to Boise. Why you ask? Because I don't want to pay another whole month of rent, damnit!
I skipped out on a semester at school. I decided I could use the added break and my parents didn't see to care all that much and really agreed with me. But I still had to get things finished up, so I came back here the ninth when school started back up and did that. Since I'm not going to school, I'm not entitled to my dorm room, but I got that cleared out before the end of finals since I knew I wasn't coming back then. But that meant that I had to rent an apartment, and that I did. It's just a little one bedroom thing, but I don't want to talk about the rent. I make it sound like I'm paying it. Isn't that funny? My parents insisted that they paid for it while I finished up what little there was to finish up at school. Actually, it didn't amount to a little, it amounted to a lot. But missing labs and finals will do that to you. I'm finally almost done with it.
So Mikel called me today on my cellphone. As I mentioned, I was in the middle of my final lab when he did that. The professor who was grading me was not impressed that I left my cellphone on, but I like to leave it on incase of emergencies, especially with everything that's been going on. When I saw who it was and started to answer it, she insisted that she answer it instead. So, stifling a grin, which I can do sometimes, I handed the phone over to her, and she got to talk to Mikel. At first she was really annoyed. but Mikel's Mikel. It was all I could do not to burst out laughing when her voice started to get a little more sultry. Hey, after about five minutes, she even let him talk to me. I think it's against her policy to let people talk on the phone during their finals, so that was even better. Mikel didn't sound too impressed with her. Hey, she's a pretty young professor, and I think she might have been coming on to him. I don't know. I don't try to guess that sort of thing with my teachers.
Oh hell yeah, she was. It was really fucking funny. I'm glad he called when he did.
So, that's how things are going at school. People wise, everything's much the same around here. The Twiggy Twins actually look like they gained half a pound or so over holiday break. I didn't tell them that though. Ironically enough, Kathy looks like she lost a little weight over holiday break. Isn't that interesting? Things are the same in our dorm other than that, though. I haven't seen Brian once. I did have a brief run in with Lindsey. She's apparently the new RA of her floor. I feel really bad for her floor. She just seems like the type that, if she catches someone doing or owning something not allowed, will make that person owe her rather than getting them in trouble. Of course, most of the people on her floor seem to adore her.
I don't understand.
I also visited the Schneiders and let them know what all's going on. They made noise about going to visit Damien in early February. So be ready! They look like they're doing pretty well. Kathy went to work for them after we left.
Let's see, so I'll be heading to Boise and then I'll probably travel between there and Spokane from time to time. My parents live in Boise, so I'll spend some time with them and some time visiting the crew and Damien. Oh, Thanksgiving.
So I took Malice to meet my parents. My dad found something really funny about it. He wouldn't tell me what, but he had fits of random laughter from time to time that made me suspicious. I don't know what to make of it. My mom likes Malice a lot, though. So that's all good. Malice's arm and head are both pretty much completely healed. She came out of that really well, and I'm glad for it. My parents insisted that she come for Christmas too, so she did just that and she was stuck there. I'm actually a little worried about how well she and my mom hit it off.
If I'm missing something, tell me. I think I covered the bases pretty well. I guess I should stop forgetting about Livejournal though. I'll try to do better.
Now off the the library.

Especially when you're remembered in the middle of a final lab that you're finishing to clear up an incomplete. Especially when it's by cellphone and the professor, who's female by the way, gets that look on her face and holds out her hand for the cellphone. And then she answers it.
And it's Mikel.
That was one of the funniest things ever.
I'll make another post after I go shopping and finish lunch off.

So I'm just going to hang out here a lot and help Damien. Well, with my break for Thanksgiving as my mom is very demanding about some things. It's been tiring. Very tiring, but hey, I'm Joseph. I can handle anything.
I've been Damien's entertainment quite a bit lately, but I can handle that all right. It can be fun sometimes, especially when I beat him at card games which happens about 5% of the time. Shut up! Hospital food could be better, but people tend to be nice and drop by with snakcs, which is really cool. This post seems to be disjointed as Hell, but then I'm still trying to piece it all together. It's gone so damn fast. Since I'm staying here, I'm taking incompletes in my classes. They've all allowed that and I'll make up the work when I can. Luckily, there isn't too much, and one is even cutting down a take home final for me so I can have that out of the way and not have to worry about it when it comes to the incomplete. That will be really nice. I'll find time at some point to do all of this work!
BUt for now I have other things to look to, like finding something to drink. Milk sounds good. Chocolate milk, of course. The other stuff is too plain for me. I need my chocolate. I can't help it. I'm such a weird dentist wannabe.
Malice is still hanging around. In fact, she's been hanging around me a lot. Even with all these other people around, she gravitates to me. I don't know why. I think she might be trying to steal something from me. Maybe my innocence. You never no with some women, and she's scary.
But damn, making her take care of her arm is a pain in the ass! She gravitates towards me and doesn't listen to a thing I say! But I do what I can and then call Little Mick when I can do no more. It's nice to have a back up. This post seems to be all over the place. I think I mentioned that before.
So next week I should be heading home to see my mom. She'll have to meet Malice here soon. Maybe I'll invite her home for Thanksgiving. I'll be interested to see how my parents take her.
