My Hell day is over. Hurray! It went ok. Hurray! Thats My Song. Hurray!

You can now donate here! Hurray!

Ok, so don’t take the title of this post too literal, it’s not ment like it sounds… Just this week sucks. 3 midterms (Physics, Math, and Computer Science). 6 Homeworks, and just all around sucky timing on them. To much to get done in to little time. Fun huh?
Ok, that’s really all I have the time to say, so I am going to go now. Later post readers.

So, as you can tell I haven’t update for a few days. This came from the fact that I wasn’t around the last few days. I know I didn’t mention that I was leaving town to just about anyone, but I had a reason. So Let’s start there and work our way both through the weekend, today, and what needs to happen here in the short term future.
Let’s start from Friday. So I woke up friday morning and as some of you may have heard, my first EBay auction closed. I met the person within like 10 minutes of the auction closing and proceeded to make the transfer of money and goods in Ultima. It went very smoothly, very well, and I must say I enjoyed the profit. While I was doing all of this, I was also doing some laundry and getting packed.
It turned out on last Wednesday that I would be able to go on the church retreat that had until then been locked up to almost all college students. As we found out later, some had slipped under the ropes, but yeah. I was cut until then but a person dropped out last minute so they picked me up last minute. We didn’t tell Amber because we wanted her decision to go to be her own. So we didn’t tell her. We all got in cars on Friday afternoon, Amber still not knowing I was with and began the journey North.
We stopped at McDonald’s along the way for dinner, and this is where Amber found out. She wasn’t quite as surprised as I would have expected her to be, but she was surprised non the less. So that was cool. We then continued our trip to the camp and our experience there.
I would like to write a lot about what we did there, but I fear it would take too much time and effort on my part. So I’ll just give you some key points that may allow me to remind myself why I want to go next year.

The people were great - I don’t think anyone was unfriendly on this trip, it was all very cool. Only one person said anything that made me upset and I think he ment it as a joke… I just didn’t want to hear it. So it was all good.

The speakers are fantastic - I always come back with a new perspective on things. The speaker even helped me personally to go outside my box and do something for someone at TGIF’s. That’s all I want to say about that, but it was interesting non the less.

Music is always good - The band, altough I don’t believe was as good as last year, was still good. It was great to sing with 400 other youth just shouting our hearts out to the Lord. Truly amazing.

Friendships always grow.

So that was the trip. Let’s just put one more thing in her to finish off our notes:
We love you lord
We love you
We love you (OU OU OU OU OU OU)
Onto other, less interesting, news. Ebay has become what some would call a bad habbit for me. We are about to see truly how bad a habbit it has become in about a minute. I have at this point completed 2 auctions. My third will be complete I believe tomorrow. This is a good thing. Now for the bad thing: I am about to complete my first buy on Ebay. It will spend almost all the money I’ve made on my first two auctions. At the time of my writing here, there are 7 minutes left in the auction, I’ll let you know if I won at the end of this post.
I haven’t been paying much attention to my bank accounts nor my income lately. This isn’t a good thing. I’m normally very attentive of it. So my expenses are starting to get out of hand and I am fearful to even open up my statement here online. Perhaps I should work more, play less. After all, if I could take the time and effort to sit down for a little while, I should make 500 dollars… Wouldn’t that be nice. Erg…
I just don’t know what I want to be doing right now. Amber seems to need me more than I seem to be able to give her right now. I never have what I need with me when I need it, and school seems to catch up to me… My balance is off in other words. I’ll figure it sooner or later though and let you know what I did to make it work. Maybe it just takes more rigid scheduling of my life. Who knows. Out of balance… that’s all I can say about it.. Out of balance.
Well as it turns out, God probably has blessed me in something that just happened. I was outbid on Ebay. What’s that mean? I didn’t lose 30 dollar’s. Nice isn’t it. I think my goal should be to get my Paypal account in the 1000’s of dollar… Like, make it my savings account in some ways. Money goes in, but doesn’t come out… Not a bad idea actually.
Amber’s birthday is this weekend. It sounds like it’s going to be a blast. If you haven’t got your invitation and want to come, you should see her website, it’s probably there. I don’t know what the exact plans are this weekend, and I’m a little concern that whatever they do become they will backfire… Only because I am running out of time more and more on everything in life that needs to be done. But it will be ok. If you have any spectacular ideas on what you think I should get her, email me or post in the ISMS. I probably won’t listen because I probably have something already… but we won’t get into that.
I’m now going to go to class because that’s what I’m supposed to do. Later all. -Justin

This is how we avoid doing stats homework… Take my advice it works:

Have lunch over and over again with as many people as possible. First I had lunch with Amber, then I had lunch with Sim. To bad John was busy.

Play DDR - All those of you who worked so hard on your Playstations to become better than me may now have to actually go back and practice, because for the first time in his life, Justin can practice daily at home. That’s right, Step Mania has allowed me to bring DDR into my home. Yay for me right :-). No more paying at the arcade after spending probably hundreds… Now all I need is my metal pads so I can play with shoes on.

Update your blog - Great time filler and might even entertain others.

Goto Class - A not so great time filler but supposidly good for you.

Play Ultima Online and sell items on Ebay. My plan to pay for my account by selling the stuff I make on Ebay seems to be working quiet well based on the current big of my current auction. If it goes up anymore between now and tomorrow when it closes, I will be extremely impressed. I’m already so impressed that I opened Sim’s former account for chopping purposes. Crazy huh :-)?

Check your Ebay Items? Don’t have any? Check mine :-).

Program your TI with Applications in C. Can’t? Why not? Oh, yeah, we don’t all have developer ID’s… Well you can still program, you just can’t download it to your calculator. So maybe program something else?

And lastly, you could actually just do your stats homework. Crazy idea huh? Who would want that… Hey, did you see that comic Sim posted in the ISMS? So true to life… Best way to make fish tanks in the world! *Coughs: of UO that is*.

That’s all for yet another listful post here at JJ’s Domain. Sorry Dan, I forgot to mention what I had for lunch because I knew you would want to know.. Tell you the truth, I think I forget to mention it a lot, so here goes:

5 Minutes Ago: Applebee’s *bummer, you’ll see why in a moment but Rich was fun*

This morning: McDonald’s

Last night for dinner: McDonald’s

Yesterday for lunch: McDonald’s

Tuesday for Dinner: McDonald’s

Tuesday for lunch: I don’t think I ate, but if I did you can bet it would be.

Monday for dinner: Tortetllini (sp error I believe)

Monday for lunch: Pretty sure I had McDonalds

Sunday for lunch: McDonalds

I’m beginning to see a pattern here… Ok, Monopoly rocks, we all know that.. But really I should think about stats sometime today. Bye.

It seems to be much about profits lately. Let’s go down the list:

I’ve started selling things on ebay. Right now, only two things are listed, for a total of 28 dollars at current bidding. If all goes according to plan, I would like to see this go for about a total of 50 dollars. It doesn’t look like that will happen though.. Then again their are 3 days remaining basically.

I keep eating at McDonalds trying to increase my odds of winning some sort of jackpot. I’d be happy with a 5000 dollar gift card from Best Buy. That would be nice. I think I will go there on my way to school today.

I just got a vendor in UO to sell wood. Nothing sold within 24 hours, so I lowered all my prices in an attempt to push sales. We’ll see how it goes. It’s right by the Brit Moongate, there is no better spot to sell.

I think I am going to open a UO auction to sell wood as well. We’ll see.

That’s what it look like on my end. Nice huh? I think I should clean my room, but instead I’m going to get going, hit the bank, McDonalds for the first time today, the school, then McDonalds for the second time today, all followed up by church… and if I’m feeling hungy, McDonalds. By the time I’m done, I’ll have so many Best Buy bucks it will take an hour just to ring them up.
We’ll I’m off. Hey smash, I don’t know if you read this, but I played your guy this morning. Up your strength by 3, sword by 1.0, and tactics by 1. Also did a little work on your tamer and may have made you some cash.
Oh! And lastly. I got my TI Dev ID today. What’s that mean? I can program my TI-89 with APPS instead of whatever the other programs are called. What’s that mean from my perspective? Not to much actually. I know the TI-83 Plus Silvers have Apps… Do the 83’s? Ok… Now I’m out.

Me being one who wants to make money has started yet another Ebay auction. Because non of you play Ultima Online anymore, I thought I would post it anyway.

If that goes well, I plan on selling more Ultima Online stuff. And if that goes well, I’ll either ask Sim to reopen his account, or ask him if I can reopened it for him. I have a feeling that if I go through with my plan to chop wood every night while on the phone with Amber that I could make a fair amount of money in a month.
Let’s see… What else was I going to say… Not much actually. I got some homework to do, so later all.
