It's been almost two years since I've posted in this stupid thing. Randomly came upon it googling myself in bordom at 6 a.m. in the morning. Even though no one reads this thing, it's really cool to look back at your thoughts and see how stupid you use to be (using use to loosely).
I'm currently attending College at Amarillo College, finished my first whole year and summer semester. I'm majoring in Engineering Computer Science. I drive a 2008 Chevy Aveo, really small but I love the little thing. I'm still a huge NASCAR fan, cheering on Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his new #88 Amp Energy/National Guard Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports.
Dale Jr. is in his first season with Hendrick Motorsports. He has scored 1 pole, 1 win, 7 top-5's, 12 top-10's in 21 starts driving the #88 Chevy.
Junior finished his career with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. on not great terms. He went his first season in NASCAR without a victory and had 9 DNF's, a horrible record for him.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. drove the #8 Budweiser Chevy for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. for 9 seasons (1999-2007). He had 291 starts in the Great #8. He found victory lane 17 times, started first 7 times. He had 76 top-5's and 121 top-10's.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in the #8:
[Starts: 291 | Poles: 7 | Wins: 17 | Top-5's: 76 | Top-10's: 121]
Jr's average season 21 races into the season while driving for DEI (2000-2007 stats averaged together from point standings 21 races into each year)
Average Point Standings: 10
Average Points Gathered: 2515
Average Points Behind: -558
Average Poles: .8
Average Wins: 1.25
Average Top-5's: 5.6
Average Top-10's: 9
I know it's a bit early to compare his career at DEI to his HMS career, but early stats reflect a better start for Dale Jr. this year.
*2008 #88 Chevy - Dale Earnhardt, Jr.*
Point Standings: 2nd
Points Gathered: 2883
Points Behind: -176
Poles: 1
Wins: 1
Top-5's: 7
Top-10's: 12
Stats show Jr's more successful driving the #88 for Hendrick Motorsports.
Ironically, we return to the track I last posted about, 2 years ago. Watkins Glen.
Jr's improved on his Road Course program and like most of this season, will hopefully be a threat to run upfront.

Jr finishes 6th @ the Brickyard

Despite running between 18th and 30th all race long, a gutsy call to not pit with the rest of the field moved Dale Jr. into 2nd poisiton from 28th late in the race. The clean air plus the encouragement from seeing the lead pushed Jr. to hold on to a 6th place finish and helped him move back into the top-10 in points.
Jimmie Johnson claimed his first Allstate 400.
Jr.'s Season:
Wins: 1
Points: 10th
Next Race: Walkin's Glen(Roadcourse)
Last Years finish at Walkin's Glen: 10th
Goodluck Junior. |

I'm going to start posting after every race about Jr's performance during that race, where he is in points and what not along with starting to actively write in the journal.
Lots of fun, anyway - Jr qualified 31st for the Allstate 400 at the brickyard.

What kind of Sunset are you? (more pics by me!)
You are the Covered Sunset. (I chose this name because the cloud covers the sun) You might be a darker person, but you are still beautiful. The cloud in the picture represents the trouble you are going through right now, because it blocks the sunset. But, the color still shows through.Most compatible with: Sunrise because you both see flaws in today's society, and therefor protest them. Least compatible with: Warm sunset... it's happy personality makes you want to shoot something.**********************************I spent several days making this quiz, and even took the pics myself. It only takes a second to let me know what you think and rate!
Take this quiz!

So my cousin is mad at me for a misunderstanding with Bill's LJ and won't even talk it out with me. Constantly f9's me, won't answer me and whatnot. Closest I can get to talk to him is his wife, and that's no help.
Bill posted on his LJ:
Trixiath [3:04 AM]: "Lol funny thing about that, Aeth left guild"
Aeth left the guild on all his alts and I was mad at him for something I don't remember - but me and Bill were making a book for school. :(
However, Aeth just plain won't listen to me to find out the truth, which is fucking annoying.
Since when is a sin to talk to your friends?
If he wants to be that way, whatever. I just don't want to end up like my relationship between him and my brother. I've said sorry, however he's so fucking stubborn it's stupid. Whatever.
Anyway, This is Ben continuing to be ignored.
Have a good one.

| You Are Midnight | 
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. |

After months of being too lazy to write in this thing, I've decided I will. Even though no one is reading it, oh wells. I'm back to whine about how bad my life is and how no one wubs me. :P
And just now, for some strange reason I'm sorta happy. Finally getting spells done on my future Prizard on Darkages. Many hours of macroing the past few days
Other crap--(After disconnecting from AOL)--
Keroa Yualz [9:44 P.M.]: That
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: ?
Keroa Yualz [9:44 P.M.]: Has not happened on cable before
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: o_o Random d/c?
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: Isaac's DSL gets that so much
Keroa Yualz [9:44 P.M.]: Yeah
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: Its really annoying
Keroa Yualz [9:44 P.M.]: Normally it's me disconnecting the lan cable on accident
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: Its caused by a stuttering signal in the line
Trixiath [9:44 P.M.]: I can't imagine it happening on Cable o_O
Keroa Yualz [9:45 P.M.]: I wasn't even in the room
Keroa Yualz [9:45 P.M.]: and I heard
Keroa Yualz [9:45 P.M.]: "Goodbye"
Trixiath [9:45 P.M.]: o_o; Weird
Keroa Yualz [9:45 P.M.]: I was like "double u tee eff?"

| Your Birthdate: July 15 | 
With a birthday on the 15th of any month, you are apt to have really strong attachments to home, family and domestic scene.
The 1 and 5 equaling 6, provide the sort of energy that makes you an excellent parent or teacher.
You are very responsible and capable.
This is an attractive and an attracting influence.
You like harmony in your environment and strive to maintain it.
You tend to learn by observation rather than study and research.
You may like to cook, but you probably don't follow recipes.
This number shows artistic leanings and would certainly support an talents that may be otherwise in your makeup.
You're a very generous and giving person, but perhaps a bit stubborn in ways. |

My depression really got to me. Going through old buddy lists on AIM and a few things refering to DA I won't discuss at this time really messed with me. I feel like crap, sicker than shit. I haven't been able to keeep a solid meal in my stomach for a few days.
Tired but can't sleep. Nothing to do but smoke cigs and stare at computer screen and wonder about my life if I would have done things different.
Right now, I don't feel I can make it until tomorrow.
I've always thought about now, never about tomorrow.. or tuesday or anytime in the future. Now I suddently worry about the future. The presure and depression is killing me.
