I've been into Daria for a long time, but only really got into the fandom last fall, sort of as a substitute for the friends I left up north. I've read a number of interesting stories, both the good kind and the not-so-good kind. However, there are certain stories I've been meaning to read for a while, but haven't for one reason or another. I'm posting them here to remind myself.
Legion of Lawndale Heroes
The various Ringbearer stories
The Look-Alike Series
The Lost Seasons
The DF Continuum
The Lawndale, CT Continuum
Anything by Legendeld I've missed
Stacy Rowe: Seeker (Assuming I can make heads or tails of it)
That's all I can think of for now.

Tonight
Hey tonight was a pretty cool night. Started off with a trip to White Castle. It's a good thing it's not nearby me because I'd spend a month eating there a few times a week, especially if it were open 24 hours. Jalapeno cheese burgers for less than a buck each. Granted, they're tiny suckers, but that's why you get like eight of them.
And I wonder why I'm almost three bills.
Then I went out to Karaoke tonight. I got to sing "Silver and Cold" by AFI. Such a great song. The big thing though is that I reached a milestone.
I asked out a girl in a social setting.
Two girls actually. Granted, they said they were having a "Men Suck" night, but that's cool. The important thing is that, for the first time ever, I went up to a woman at a bar (well, turned around in my chair), and asked her out. This is something I've never done before to the best of my knowledge. My girlfriends either met me on Yahoo Personals or at work. I've asked out other women at my last job, but never out and about. Always didn't want to intrude or didn't think I had a chance or tried to work up the nerve but they left too soon. Tonight I got over that hump.
Now I just need to get a positive answer. And my phone fixed. Not having a number to give them or a place to take down theirs kinda sucks.

What I need to do
This post is more of a brainstorming/to-do list/mental note thing than a real post, but I figure this is as good a place to put it as anywhere. Anyway, I'm planning to make several small changes in my life. You see, my life is almost pretty good. By that I mean that with a few changes, it would be pretty good. Here are the things I need to do at some point.
1. Box up my CD's and put them into storage. I'm not getting rid of them, but I don't need them in my room any more.
2. Go through video games, computer games, DVD's and books and determine which ones I really don't plan on using. If it's just going to take up space, I might as well get rid of it and maybe make some money.
3. Check with Snap Fitness and other gyms to see whether they would be a good fit, pun not intended. I need to get more active, and an hour after work a few times a week may be the thing.
4. Check with local schools as to what it would take to get an accounting degree. I've thought about getting that as a backup option in case computers aren't my thing and my creative job ideas (musician, author, that sort of thing) don't pan out.
5. Pick up conditioner, black socks, and maybe some anti-itch stuff for my scalp. I'm really getting sick of itching, and H&S doesn't seem to do the trick.
6. Get my cell phone issue taken care of. Damn cracked screen.
7. Ask for May 30th off for Britt's birthday thing. At the BBC in Milwaukee, if you (whoever you are) are interested.
8. Write more on my two in-progress stories. This would be the final episode of Falling From Grace and my top-secret project that will only see the light of day when it is complete, if then. I'll be damned if I'm going to start that in public and not finish.
9. Write some poetry/songs about my past relationships as a way to kind of exorcise demons. After all, having two of my 3.5 exes getting pregnant within a month of going out with me is noteworthy. "Hey, you want to have a kid but not have me as the father? I've got a 50% track record!"
That's all for now, but I'm sure more will crop up in time.

Welcome
Hey, this is the (next) official blog of the man known as Disco 3:16. I've blogged before on Yahoo 360 and MySpace, but I've decided to put up a blog here for a change. Will this be any different? Will I keep posting here? Will I keep asking questions?
Anyway, for those who don't know me, I live in the Milwaukee area, I work as a helpdesk technician for a chain of retail stores, I write Daria fanfiction (a 4-time Bootie Award Winner!), and I like TNA Wrestling and the Pet Shop Boys, Sergio Leone and MST3K. I'm also single, as I have been for over 27 years combined of my over 28 years of life.
As you might gather from my posts here, I'm pretty open about my life (despite hiding behind this alias), pretty insecure, somewhat depressive, and have a self-depricating sense of humor. Balance that out with my laid-back demeanor and easygoing personality, I dare you. My ambition is to make my living making music or writing or something like that. Whether I can or not is an unknown at this point.
Anyway, I figure this will be my place to talk about myself, my works, my plans, and whatever else comes to mind. Hang on and enjoy the ride. Or whatever.
