Everyone on Hubski seems so far away from the East Coast.

My birthday was on the 31st, also known as Halloween!

The weekend before that I totaled my car, Fernando, by hitting a deer. I'm perfectly okay and didn't get harmed at all. The airbag deployed, but I didn't even make contact with it. (Airbags smell awful, by the way.) This is the first time I've totaled a car and I am sad to join the club of my siblings, who are known car-totalers. I'm now car-shopping for the first time. I don't like it (the car shopping)...but I think I'm going to get a Mazda. When my dad is home next weekend he's going to help me negotiate.

I am taking a certification for work on Friday, as you may know if you've checked out this post. It's driving me a little kookoo if that didn't come clear. Frankly, I find the topic matter extremely boring in most cases, and I'm worried about how I'm going to do. (Don't shore me up with useless platitudes, guys, not my style. I guess I'll let you know if I pass after. Shouldn't find out til December.) I've been studying but it's a lot of knowledge and studying isn't something I'm necessarily good at.

As for more general details - it is 57 degrees F in my fair city, Wilmington, fondly referred to as Killmington or Kilmo, today. It is alternating between sun and clouds, but no rain on the forecast. Today I'm studying and using Hubski to help me study a little bit. My back hurts and one of my best friends is getting married this weekend. I don't think he's ready to get married.

Tomorrow night, I am going to go see Deer Tick in concert with my brother. I am also going on a first date with someone. I believe the first date may not go well but I'm interested in the adventure.

Let me know how the concert was. I've been on a Deer Tick run....

It is actually the third time I have seen Deer Tick in concert. I have one of their setlists. :) I'm a fan.

John McCauley wore a fantastic rose-patterned suit and looked surprisingly healthy. They played heavily from the new album. I enjoyed it thoroughly but I didn't stay for the end, work and studying the next day you know. Here's a recap though.

Happy just-past birthday by the way. Getting older is so slow at first, then it seems to happen faster and faster. What do you think?

Absolutely. The older I get the faster time goes, which in a way makes sense. Just 24, though, so it ain't so bad.
