SFAGTLsEA Part 2 - Mayhem and the past 2 weeks
SFAGTLsEA = Sonic Flash and GexTheLizard's epic adventures, FYI
First of all, apparently my quote "I wish I was an octopus" is going on my tombstone.
The new apartment has arrived! Yaaaay! =D It's quite large, and it has for-reals walls and a for-reals living room! We spent a good week sitting on the floor. It was far too Japanese for our liking, so we bought a for-reals dinig room table and a for-reals giant beanbag chair. The beanbag chair is amazing, it's full of memory foam bits and it's 6' in diameter. As much as I dearly miss the crab couch, the sack is even better. The old stained and dysfunctional futon is also gone. It was a truly epic battle, me and my old furniture vs the Sonic Flash. The victor soon became apparent. There were many fatalities in addition to the crab couch and futon, including an old dysnfunctional DDR pad I had intended to turn into a homemade PS2 con

Sonic Flash and GexTheLizard's Epic Adventures! Part 1
Sonic Flash and I have started living together! Yaaay! We've decided to chronicle our amazing adventures together in this blog. :3 So without further ado... Episode 1!
SF got here on Thursday afternoon. Not too much happened, just unpacking of stuff and cooking of dinners, pretty generic moving in stuffs. Friday we decided to take inventory of what stuff we needed and go to the Mall of America and Ikea to find stuff. We went to a bunch of stores and looked at house stuff and other random stuff. He has decided we need a new couch. More on the Crab Couch later. So we went to the Luv Sac store, which is an awesome store with massive beanbag chairs full of memory foam! They're amazingly comfortable, and fit the 2 of us with a lot of room to spare, so we're keeping it on the list of things we could potentially use as a replacement for the Crab Couch. Also bought the Lack coffee tab

Go Go Bridezilla!
Ok, so 2 of my good friends are about to get married tomorrow. Avoiding the whole "they're too young" etc argument, I'd normally be happy for them for being happy together and all that jazz, but I feel just awful for the poor guy instead. I don't think he knows what he's gotten himself into.
If anyone's ever seen the show Bridezillas that's probably something to the effect of what's happened with this girl (I've never seen said show so I can only assume), but she pretty much went from being a fairly nice, friendly person to a crazy jealous bitch faster than she could get her ring sized. I find it absolutely insane that the guy's actually stuck it out for the year or so that they've been engaged - were I him I'd have been out of there ASAP, and really have to wonder if it's just stress that got to the chick (doubt it) or if now that she's got the rock she's just showing her true colors.

More nighttime work musings
There's little I dislike more than being bored at work. I don't see why anyone envies the fact that I have down time at work and am therefore able to go on Neoseeker at 3am, play solitaire, etc. It's boring, I like it when it's busy especially if it's an acute patient like we has a few days ago that I'm busy with.
Anywho it's a slowish night tonight, and in lieu of better things to do I'm posting here. I managed to get into a car accident the other day and my car's now out of commission, which gave me the motivation to get my bike fixed so I have at least some kind of transportation. I did so, and it cost me about $100 but it's well worth it to have transportation that's faster (and in my area, safer) than walking, and is reliable. Still don't have an estimate on how much the car's gonna cost me, but the radiator, core support, and hood all need replacing. Quite a number on my car c

What to do, what to do?
Ahhh it's 4:30 in the morning. Glorious time of day, 4am. There's so little to do some nights, some nights I'm very very busy right now. Today, obviously, I happen to not be so busy, mostly because I had tonight off. So today's blog post is the top 10 things to do in the wee hours of the morning:
#10 - Go for a Run
This is generally a bad idea. Going for a run, or going to the park, at 2 in the morning, is just asking to get *bleep*, shanked, etc. Very shitty idea, unless you like high crackwhores chasing after you yelling "where's my money, bitch?" You don't even have to try to barter any kind of service for them to behave in such a way. In the Soviet Hood, whores crack you! But then again, maybe running isn't a bad idea. Keeps you in practice if you ever need to. Not that crackwhores can run very fast.
#9 - Clean your Car
Again, another shitty idea for the late night. For very

Psych ward night musings
Well, I got to go to the (regular) psych unit the other night at work. That was... interesting, to say the least. First of all, everything is locked on that unit. Everything. There are literally 6 sets of doors that are locked from both directions between the patient beds and the actual exit. Since it was my first time there and I obviously don't normally work there, I didn't have a badge to let me into the units. I followed a couple of people who did, and actually ended up getting trapped between two of the doors in a small hallway with no way of getting out until I just pounded on the door for a while and someone let me in. Later on, I found out that I was supposed to stop by the front desk next to the elevators and get a badge and set of keys. D'oh.
Also, the behavioral unit is very very nice. Except it has no TV, no pens, no pencils, no computers available to the patients (th

Huh, Neo has a blog feature?
Well, learn something new every day I suppose.
I'm Gex, 18 y/o F, presently working in a hospital on nursing staff though I'm trained as an EMT, a bit over half done with paramedic, and want to get back on the ambulance pretty much as soon as I get a chance. Love my job either way though, and my jobs are pretty much my life. More on my other jobs later. I've lived in Minnesota most of my life, though I was living in New Hampshire for a few months at the beginning of this year until the very end of March. Long story there. Another time. I'm planning on moving back out of state in another year or so mostly to pursue my career as an EMT/eventually paramedic, and will probably be moving to either Texas, North Carolina, or back to New Hampshire. Preferably one of the former two.
Anywho, presently I'm working on a few projects and have had a rather extended break from 2 of them. Normally
