My place

This will be a NO ALCOHOL party. I will be providing sodas, snacks, hours d'ouvers (no idea how you pronounce that). You may feel free to bring any sodas or snacks you want but you don't have to.

Please RSVP as soon as you can. When you do I'll send you the address. I'm sure you can see why I would not post it here.

You may contact me by e-mail: foxhart85@msn.com
AIM or YIM: marcusnoble1985
Skype: marcusnoble
Or you can comment here leaving your e-mail, they will be screened.

I'll include my phone number in the reply in case I need to be contacted, it will be my cell phone. Also while this will be rock band for the Wii if for some reason you get bored I can break out Smash Bros. Brawl.

Well here goes. Iou reply to this post and I assign you a letter, you then post your favorite songs starting with that letter.

I got the letter U:

U + Ur Hand - Pink
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Underclass Hero - Sum 41
Underneath It All - No Doubt
Until the End - Breaking Benjamin

Well had yet another plaque added onto the order from yesterday. But onto something a bit more interesting. I put together a retirement trophy where the main piece was a bomb. Now don't get worried, it was an old deactivated and decommissioned piece. I hot glued the bottom to a rosewood base and attached a brass plaque to it. Seems it was to be a retirement gift for a retired army man who was a munitions expert. I never thought I would handle a bomb at any point in my life, much less while working putting together plaques and trophies. But being that there is an air force base down the street, I shouldn't really be surprised.

While I was at work today I finished working on a large project I got yesterday. Then I got a new one set on my table, it was five small plaques for one customer. But then they added on a larger plaque to the order. Then some sublimated plates, then some acrylic pieces. Finally they wanted another large plaque. It is a lot of stuff, but so far I have all day tomorrow to work on it. While this really isn't a frustrating situation for me I can only imagine what it's like on the one doing the engraving and processing all the orders. I know what it's like to deal with people constantly changing their minds.

Whenever my parents come home from running errands every so often they'll tell me "we have something for you". Usually it's something I needed anyway (toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper) or something they think I need but didn't really ask for. (cleaning products of some kind) I think they do this to get me excited and let me down, pretty much the only mind game they play that still works on me. Though many parents play mind games with their children. I'm sure everyone is familiar with the story of how whenever dad was bad he had to go to the ree in the backyard and pick out a branch to be beaten with. Then if it was too small, he'd be sent out to get another one.

Anyway back on topic. This time when they said "we have something for you" it was actually something good. Turns out while they were out at Target they found a Rock Band bundle for the Wii for $10 less than what most places would want for it. So they decided to buy it. I do feel a bit let down, however I didn't really pay for the game or microphone, just traded in a bunch of old stuff to get it. Which I'll be doing with the game I got. I'll keep the microphone though since it seems to work better than the one built into my computer for podcast recording. Just need to find a stand for it so I don't strain my arm.

Didn't get any responses last time, so let me try this again. First:



And then this:

Ask me a question about each of the following:

1. Friends
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Drugs
5. Love
6. LiveJournal

No matter how rude, sexual, or confidential. Then post this in your journal if you like and see what questions you get asked.

I was up kind of early this morning and mom knocked on my door. Seems that since the kids were still up from last night she figured we might want to go out for breakfast. So we went to this place called "The Nautilus Diner" in Crofton. I ended up getting this dish called a french toast monte christo. It's basically two slices of french toast, on top was turkey and ham, and melted swiss cheese. Sweet and savory, my favorite kind of breakfast. Nothing much else today, just watched Infernal Affairs I got from netflix.

Also, if you go to my actual journal page you'll see I added a bunch of new links. Most of them are podcasts I listen to, so please check them out.
