Wake up sleepy head

Once I get enough posts up I think it'll be interesting to do some statistical work. Stuff like seeing what percentage of my voicemails are left by men versus by women; what percentage are left in the morning, afternoon, and at night; and what percentage are received because I out was of the house versus because I was sleeping.

Here are 2 voicemails that I got from women. This morning. Because I was sleeping ...or something. I don't make it a habit to get up around noon, but c'mon it's the weekend :) --Oh, and another coincidence is that I actually met both of these people online first.

This is Lyn. Now I met Lyn in a chatroom about a week or so ago, and these past few days she's been trying to give me a call but has never gotten around to it. I haven't actually talked to her voice to voice before, but I guess she managed to call late last night. I was still up around that time but I'm thinking that I must have had my headphones on so I never heard the phone ring:

This voicemail is from Jen. I met her online oooooo, I dunno, maybe a 2 years ago? She's a gamer, so she's good people :) And actually, she's one of two Jen's that I met online. So for clarification purposes, we'll refer her as Jen2; Jen1 is a complicated story which i'm sure will come up at some point throughout my blogging adventures. Anyhow, Jen2 and I are good friends and earlier this year I flew out to where she lives to visit and see her in person. I had a good time. She's a wonderful person, great hostess, excellent chef, and an extraordinary mother. I'm planning to fly out to visit her and her awesome boyfriend (he's my hero) again sometime. Hopefully it'll be later on this year.

So anyway, I think she was just calling to touch base; I don't know, I haven't called back yet:

Before I clear the inbox...

Before I clear the voicemail inbox so that I can't mistakenly post an old voicemail thinking it's something new, here are few voicemails that are 1 to 3 days old:

My oldest brother who I don't see as often as I'd like to called to check in on me. I love my brother:

After some phone calls that didn't go so well the night before when Colleen (my ex) told me that it would be best for her to not talk to or see me for a couple of months so that she could "heal," she calls back the very next night to tell me that she actually wants to take me up on the offer of "just being friends.":

Right now my school is really acting shady with my financial aid. First off i've been "randomly selected" from amongst 20% of the school's students receiving financial aid to provide additional information about my crappy financial situation for the 2nd semester in a row, and then after that I'm asked to write and submit a statement about how my household payed for "obligated expenses" back in 2005 when I wasn't even going to school. wtf is that? Apparently even that's not enough though:

So what's playing?

So I had been dating this girl that I met earlier this year on my 2nd day of school. I didn't start dating her my 2nd day of school, I just met her that day. Eventually we started dating though. We dated for about 7 months, but during that time we consistantly had this sort of hot/cold/on/off relationship. Simply put, we just weren't getting along...so why am still I so attracted to her? I have no clue.

We split up recently...but put another way, we're just going through our most recent of many split ups. Maybe this one is for keeps, I dunno. However, we're trying out this 'friendship' thing because neither of us wants to go on without seeing and talking to one another. At school on Friday I asked her if she wanted to do something this weekend and after a little phone tag, we're going to be seeing a movie tomorrow. She decided to give me a call at 10:19 am this morning when I was asleep to tell me what's playing at the theatres. Here's the voicemail:

Please leave a message

Today I was cleaning out my home phone's voicemail inbox--something that I rarely do--and as I was going through listening to message after message, I realized that if someone didn't already know who I was and was only listening to the voicemails, they would probably mistake me for a person that actually has a life.

I don't have a life, but I do have an internet connection, and now I have an internet blog. This blog is about those times when I miss calls at home and someone actually decides to leave a message. I'll be sharing those messages with you, and i'll tell you who these strange people are that decide to fondle my voicemail box. :)

This first clip is just for testing purposes and isn't actually a voicemail.
