Matty's Journal
Tuesday Jan. 20th, 2013

At midnight I was on the computer for a while.  Then Jessa and I started The Time Traveler’s Wife before going to bed.

I woke up at 8 to watch Abby.  After I put her on the bus I took a shower & shaved.  Then I went on the computer for a while.  Didn’t do much until I decided to fix my contacts on my phone.  After that I woke Jessa up and we watched TV for a little bit while she woke up.  Then we got up and got ready to leave for the day.

We went to Houlihan’s for lunch and it was very yummy.  After eating we went to JC Penny’s so I could look for a new dress shirt.  After a while of looking I found an awesome blue shirt (no business blue, blue blue) and a tie I really liked.  Jessica also liked a tie and it was cheap, so I got that as well.  Then we came back to my house and hung out for a little bit before she had to leave.  After she left I pooped, and then went on the computer for a bit.  Then I talked with my parents for a while about them getting a gun (I don’t approve).  Then we lightened the mood a big and I’m trying to convince them to take Abby & Devin to Disney World because I loved it when I went.  After that I watched The Fifth Element and then went on the computer for a bit.  Now I’m writing my journal.

At midnight Jessa & I were still talking with my mom about our day.  Then I did my journal & watched some TV before bed.

I woke up at 8:50 & pooped a couple times because my stomach was hurting.  Then I went on the computer a bit before getting ready for work.  Then I went to work & actually worked for my whole shift.  I built 6 bikes in the 4 hours I was there, as well as put them all on the floor, & printed tags for them (which is actually a pretty hard process).  I took my lunch break & came home for lunch.

I made some angel hair pasta and chicken nuggets for Jessa & I.  While we ate we watched some TV & then I went back to work.  I probably put together another 6 bikes & got some help with making the price tags process easier as well as putting bikes on the 15 foot rack.  When I was all done I cleaned up my area & then came home.  I was pretty sticky, so I took a shower right away & then washed my clothes & some of my sheets.  Then my mom was hungry, as well as Jessica.  So we picked up some White Castles & Taco Bell.  When we got home I put my clothes in the dryer & then ate while watching America’s Next Top Model.  After that we watched a little of The Adjustment Bureau while I was on the computer.  Then Jessa plucked my eyebrows which hurt because it’s been a while.  After that we watched How I Met Your Mother and an episode of Tosh.0.  Now I’m doing my journal & we’re probably gonna watch some TV before going to bed.

Saturday Oct. 6th, 2012

At midnight I was on the computer for a while & watching How I Met Your Mother with Adan.  Then Adan & Sam went to bed & I watched an episode & a half of Rules of Engagement.

I woke up at 9:45 & watched more ROE.  Then Adan came out & said he wasn’t going because he was gonna stay home because Sam wasn’t feeling well & that my uncle Art & Arty weren’t coming either because Arty had too much homework.  Dave also texted me saying he couldn’t make it because he had work.  But Jessica was still on board.  So I went to her house & we got ready & then drove to Midway to get on the Orange line, then we transferred to the Brown line.

When we got to Diversey we walked to Rotofugi.  We got our line tickets & then did some shopping.  It was a really cool shop & the art was really cool as well.  Then we went to Potbelly’s for some lunch because I hadn’t eaten all day.  Afterwards we went back to Rotofugi to stand in line.  We bought our stuff & then waited a little longer to meet Johnny & have a conversation.  It was super cool becasue he remembered me from getting out of my ticket a year or so ago.  So he asked his friend filming to interview me for the Chicago video.  So hopefully I’ll be in the video.  Then Jessica & I got back on the train to go home, actually it wasn’t the train… it was the “Holy Ghost Train” or so the preachers riding with us called it. They preached the entire ride home.

Then we went to Jessa’s & talked for a while.  Then I hooked up their new modem/router, giving them faster internet.  It took a ton longer than I thought it would because I couldn’t figure out why there was a connection but no internet.  But we figured it out.  We also had a yummy dinner.  Then I was on the internet while Jessa was watching home videos.  Then we drove to my house & talked to my mom for a while.

People I interacted with: Adan, Sam, Jessa, M-Dawg, Tommy, Sara, Dale (JC designer), Louis (JC filmer), Johnny Cupcakes, & Mom.

At midnight I was on the computer for a while.  Then I watched a few episodes of Rules of Engagement before going to bed.

I woke up at 8 to watch Abby.  After I put her on the bus I went to LWW for a swim & shower.  Then I came home & ate some lunch while I was on the computer.  After that I had the intention of taking a nap, but I ended up watching an episode of Conan & the new episode of Jersey Shore.  After that I watched a little bit of Looper & then a special Looper “Theater Commentary” Rian Johnson made.  It was very entertaining.  After that I went on the computer for a bit & then shaved & packed my bag for the night.  Then I watched a couple episodes of Rules of Engagement before leaving for work.

I worked the register for an hour and a half & then I finally got to build something.  It was a flat screen entertainment center & I took a lot longer to build it than I thought I would have.  It was awesome because nobody got on my case about building it faster or anything.  So this job will be pretty cool.  After I was done building it I helped out a coworker doing whatever she needed help with.  So we stocked some Christmas ornaments & and just walked around.  Then it was time to punch out.  So I left & went home to get a coat for tomorrow & ended up talking to my mom for a little bit.  Then I drove to Adan & Sam’s.  We’re just watching HIMYM now & I’m doing my journal.

I woke back up at 12:30 from my phone ringing.  It was Walgreens & they asked me to come in for an interview sometime during the week, but I said I could come in now.  So I went in.  The interview went well & the position is actually full-time.  So I’m hoping to get the job.  After that I went to pick Devin up from school.  When we came back I went on the computer for a bit & then got news from my mom that my cousin Louise might not have cancer, it might be something else.  But how the fuck did the hospital think it was something else & give her radiology?!  I mean that’s great news but seriously?  So I woke up Jessa & told her, then we watched some more ROE.  Then we watched an episode of Dog Whisperer until it was time to eat.  So we ate dinner with my mom & Abby.  We also talked for over an hour about Louise, my interview, school, & other stuff.  After that Jessa took a shower, so I watched more ROE.  After that we watched the new episode of How I Met Your Mother & America’s Next Top Model.  After that I went on the computer for a bit & then put on Holmes on Holmes before making a snack & watching The White Room Challenge.  Now I’m doing my journal.

I woke up at 9:50 and got Devin & my dad to get on board for cleaning the garage.  We spent a good 2 and a half hours cleaning, throwing away, & organizing the garage & it’s really coming together.  We can almost fit a vehicle in there.  We called it quits after a while because they were both hungry.  Then I went on the computer for a while, then I decided to watch ROE before packing for the night.  After packing I went to get gas for the car, then I came back home & got my bag.

At midnight I was watching Cruel Intentions with Jessa.

I woke up at 7:45ish because Devin wanted me to drive him to school.  So I did that really fast, then came home to watch Abby.  I made her a better breakfast too; Corned beef hash, her favorite.  After I put her on the bus I went on the computer for a bit, then I started watching The Cabin In The Woods.  Midway through Jessa woke up & we watched TV together.  First Holmes on Holmes, then an episode of Conan.  After that I made us Ramen for lunch.  While we ate we watched the beginning of Brokeback Mountain.

Then Jessa showered & I continued watching it until I realized I still had CITW to finish.  So I started that up again & Jessa was done almost right away.  So I turned it off & we watched a little Crazy, Stupid, Love.  Then Jessa said I could finish CITW while she watches something else.  So I did, but Devin called & asked me to pick him up from school.  So I did that.  When I got back I finally got to finish CITW & I liked it a ton.  Then Jessa & I watched a couple episodes of How I Met Your Mother before she had to leave for work.  When she left I went on the computer until it was time to go to dinner with the family.  We went to Zuki & I got sushi while the family got more expensive things.  When we came back home I went on the computer & edited vacation pictures & uploaded some to Facebook.  In the middle of that we all had cake & sang Happy Birthday to Abby.
