I have my orientation tomorrow. It will be my first day as an official (non-temp) employee. I’ll be making more money that I ever thought I’d be making… anywhere. I’m extatic.

We can remove Cassidy and myself off of Ben’s insurance policy which will save a BUNDLE because ‘domestic partenership’ is NOT cheap. Cassidy will be free on my policy. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

City of Heroes has a respec mission. You have to save the reactor (MUCH harder than it counds) from about 10 waves of bad guys that increase in number and skill. And that’s AFTER you complete two prior missions. IT’s tough.

We got to the LAST wave of guys and my poor team died. Except for me but I’m a healer and rarely draw aggro. So.. sucks. The respec allows you to completely redo all your powers and I’m REALLY needing to do that. I have no endurance building powers or stealth powers. This was the first character I built and I really didn’t know any better at the time. But now that I’m level 27 I’m realizing that I am more than lacking in a few areas.

The team that I palyed with tonight was AMAZING. I’ve never had a team so coordinated, useful and FUNNY!! We are going to meet back up at 8:00PM tomorrow night to try it again with a tanker that can draw more aggro so we have a better chance at the reactor.

I’m working on updating the Gallery. There’s to much junk in there. Like the Lightbox thingie that nobody uses. Plus, I have a new layout that’s going to go up after Christnas and I want the gallery to match for a change!! It’s a MAJOR work in progress so if you visit there might be some funky things going on. I’ll get it all worked out this weekend.

Also, for now I’m just going to upload all the phone cam images there. When the new layout goes up there will be a link at the bottom of all posts to get there. In the meantime you can click here.

My mommy spoiles me. I honestly was not expecting something like this. I figured I’d get some clothes or maybe a gift certificate… But I’ll TOTALLY take this. Now I can have all my tunes at work and at the gym. w00t!!

My cousin and his lovely new wife went on a cruise for there Honeymoon. My dad and I were talking about it earlier:

06:11 PM - TheDad: Did you hear about Jarett’s cruise?
06:11 PM - Antigone078: Nope, I got a thank you card from them
06:11 PM - Antigone078: Did everything go okay?
06:11 PM - TheDad: They had a great time but…
06:12 PM - TheDad: On their way back to LA a woman came up missing (went overboard).
06:12 PM - Antigone078: Oh my gosh!
06:12 PM - TheDad: It was several hours before she was reported missing.
06:12 PM - TheDad: They had to sail back to where they were when she was last seen and then hang around while a serach was conducted.
06:13 PM - Antigone078: The whole ship had to go back?
06:13 PM - Antigone078: For how long?
06:13 PM - TheDad: Yes!
06:13 PM - TheDad: It was several hours back, and then they had to hang around for several hours while the Coast Guard searched the waters.
06:13 PM - TheDad: While that was going on their was a search of every cabin on the ship.
06:13 PM - Antigone078: Did they find her?
06:14 PM - TheDad: No! The FBI is no treating it as a homicide investigation.
06:14 PM - TheDad: The FBI IS treating it as a murder investigation.
06:14 PM - Antigone078: Wow
06:14 PM - TheDad: They were way late getting back.
06:14 PM - Antigone078: Well, it will be as memorable as the wedding!!
06:15 PM - TheDad: So, rained out wedding, Room to remember, and man overboard drills.
06:15 PM - TheDad: Three strikes. Either they will be split up in a month, or married forever!
06:15 PM - Antigone078: hahaha I go with married forever

It started POURING down rain at exactly the time the wedding was supposed start. The only part pf the wedding that was not supposed to be covered was the wedding party. They has to move the entire party to in the isles of the crowd. But it was the most intimate, funny, beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen. They smiled and laughed though the entire ceremony. Even though it didn’t go as planned, you could tell they could not have been any happier. It was great.

Then we ‘decorated’ there room. My cousin is SUPER anal. Like all shirts hanging the same way, buttoned, in color order, spaced evenly in the closet anal. And we RAVAGED his room with toilet paper, streamers, conffetti, a tub of ice, balloons, candy.. and in retaliation they toilet papered my dad’s car. HA! I know that the room mess HAD to be killing him but they had a good time with it anyway.

That good attitude is great to see in him and I think Katie is the reason. So I think they will live a long, happy life together. I mean, if they could survive THAT wedding experience, they are SET!
