IAR

Is that like OAR? lol.

Anyways, so I’ve been sucking at updating. I have things to do!

This past weekend was tons of fun. Friday I can’t recall what I did, Saturday the group went out to Mt Baldy and did some canyoneering again. It was FUCKING FREEZING! We were avoiding getting wet as much as possible, but the last waterfall there as no way out of it, you had to get SOAKED. Everyone was huddling under a space blanket at the end. lol.

After that we went out to eat then I came home and took a nap.

SUnday was rock climbing, tons of fun again. As per usual. Nothing interesting to report. Came home right after that and did some random stuff. Daniel came over that night and spent the evening.

Monday, Tuesday, Wed work! Ran into Erick at Trader Joe’s then he came and read my blog. Random.

Tuesday ran into Jason on bike ride then Wed I had to follow him home. Very strange. Why are all these old people running into me lately. Next I’ll run into Constantine somewhere random. UGH.

I need money and new apartment. Got into fight with neighbor in person. He’s a fucking CRAZY mo-fo! Landlord said if it doesn’t stop he will “evict somebody”. Idiots. I need a new place to live!

Daniel came over again last night, ended up spending the night.

Work today. We “go-live” in just over a week. Nothing is ready, nothing has been tested, no one has been using the system nothing! It’s all very annoying.

We have training NEXT week, then we go live on Wed morning, then Friday is a vacation day! WTF who planned this BS! NONE of the import/export processes have been tested. I think I should be sick next week.

Adios!

Back to Climbing

So after 3 weeks of being absent from the climbing group I was back in full force this past weekend! Though a little bit sluggish!

This weekend was pretty good really. I ended up going out to dinner with Sirin last minute. We went to the Crepe place and my favorite French boy was working! YUM! He actually remembered us too which was crazy because it’s been SO long since we’ve seen him! He gave me a handshake and a wink at the end of the night! lol.

Went home after that and went to bed. Saturday I got up and did some random stuff around the house then went to Sirin’s place to help her with the garden. It’s actually doing VERY good. Her lettuce should have been eaten a long time ago, but she didn’t know that. The onions were delicious! After that we headed to goodwill where I donated a ton of shirts and underwear and then headed to Armstrong garden center and bought her some stuff for her garden.

Daniel met up with us there and we headed out to Cerritos to do some test driving. Sirin wanted to test drive all these cars, we get there, she drives the 350z and then wants to leave! UGH! Very annoying. I forced her to test drive a few other cars and then we left.

Got home and Daniel and I hung out for the evening.

Sunday I got up, went rock climbing, came home and Daniel was still there. We went for a walk on the beach and had a little discussion. We’re officially “exclusive” now. Whatever that means! LOL. Oh well. He’s fun, and a great fuck! lol

He stayed for a few more hours and then I went to bed.

Monday was a REALLY long day at the office. Boss sucks at replying to emails and what not. Can’t get anything done without him fucking it all up.

Today has been semi-productive.

I must start biking to work again like YESTERDAY!

Life Cleaning

So I’m not really sure I’ve talked about this much, but I feel like I need to dedicate a whole post to it. Probably a short one.

A couple months ago I decided to go through a life cleansing of sorts. So I started with minor things and finally got down to the big things. One of those big things was Jason. I’ve known him for nearly three years and yet, I barely know who he is! I have only hung out with him and his friends a handful of times, he hid a boyfriend from me for months, etc. So I was fed up with it.

Back in Jan we had gone through a similar phase, he told me he was going to change, start being more open, more honest, include me in things, etc. It never happened. So I told him, either you change and start including me in your life, or I’m doing being your “friend”. So I gave him two weeks, we continued chatting online, emailing, etc. But he never invited me out. So one the following Saturday he posted on Facebook that he was having brunch with his “hermosa crew” and his boyfriend. I commented. “Actions speak louder then words”.

I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m honestly glad to have him out of my life. I’m realizing how much of a gossip whore he was, how he was only in it to find out what EVERYONE else was doing, but not to share in his life at all.

He was a huge part of my life for two years, but all I got out of it was nothing. I introduced him to so many people and he managed to turn most of them against me. He’s told people things about me that aren’t true.

I find it really funny because now that we aren’t friends, he’s suddenly BFF’s with one of my good friends. He met this friend about 2 years ago at one of my BBQ’s at my house. At the time all he could say about my friend was how gay he was and how annoying. In subsequent BBQ’s @ Jason’s house, etc I wanted to invite said friend, but Jason said no because he was “To gay”.

Now they are going to the beach together, going out to Weho, etc…

Next on the chopping block, my car and my apartment. Both are overly extravagant and things that I don’t need in my life. I am finding it hard to give up my car, I do REALLY enjoy driving it, but I think it’s time to get back to the basics in life so that I can have more time and money to spend playing and doing the fun things in life!

PS, anyone wanna buy a slightly used Infiniti G35?

PPS. anyone wanna buy a boat load of books and dvds?

Road Trip to Iowa

Soooo. This past weekend was the road trip to Iowa.. Very very crazy.

So we left here around noon on Wed and drove to Zion. It was a great drive.

Got to Zion about an hour before sunset so we rushed up to the bus and took it around the park just to see what we were missing. It’s one hell of an amazing place! I can’t wait to get back there. Got out at one point and took some photos and then headed back to the camp site. The bed pad that I got ended up being MUCH smaller then anticipated, but we were able to squeeze into it!

EARLY Morning on Thursday and we headed into town to get some breakfast and then got on the road. Reached Arches around 1ish and drove around there for a short bit. Only got to see ONE arch which kind of sucked, but again it was a nice taste of what we were missing!

Drove and Drove and DROOOOVE and reached Colorado, got my parents to book us a hotel in Grand Lake, CO for the evening. We stopped about an hour from there for dinner because the woman in 7/11 said that NOTHING would be open in that town that late (she was right). So I pulled into a restaurant parking lot we went in, had dinner (delicious), came back out and had a FLAT TIRE! Thankfully I used my AAA card and got them to come and change it in about 20 minutes!

AT LAST we got to the hotel and the guy was creepy and very bitchy (I think he was eastern European). Got our hotel (2-stars!) and just crashed in bed.

We got up a bit late on Friday because we were told there was a place in town that could quickly fix our flat. We went and had breakfast while waiting for them to open up, then headed over there RIGHT at 8am. Get in there and the guy says it’ll take “a few hours” to fix! UGH! So I took the chance and off we went!

Drove through Rocky Mountain National Park which was JUST AMAZING! The next 10 hours of the trip were all downhill! Fucking Nebraska!

FLAT!

Yep, still FLAT!

Ohh, it smells horrible, but STILL FLAT!

At last we got to Iowa, drove to Manning and met up with two of the cousins for some drinking. Had Tomato Beer, Orange Juice Beer, Pineapple Beer and Cranberry beer. All very interesting…

Got to the hotel in Carroll and crashed for the evening, slept till 11 and then got up and went to my Grandma’s Birthday thing which was a total bust. Ugh, crazy family. Left there at like 2 (2 hours TO LONG!) and drove to the farm where we took the top off the bronco and then drove around the back country of the farm for a bit. Good times.

Drove home from there with Dad and stopped in Perry for some ice cream. Got home, took a nap, and then went out with Zach, Mandy and Nic for the evening. Ran into Oksana at the Garden which was out of control! I honestly have NO idea what happened most of the night. UGH. I hate when that happens! LOL.

Got home at like 4am after throwing up in Nic’s bathroom, crashed in bed for a while then got up at 10 and went to brunch with the other family. I was completely hung over! UGH! But it was fun to see everyone and what not.

Drove home after that and basically slept the rest of the day until the flight left! Opps.

So that was the trip to Iowa. It was good over all, Daniel only annoyed me slightly towards the end because all he wanted to do was sleep when I wanted to go and do STUFF!

The flight back was fine, no problems, a little bumpy, so whatever.

Got home, Daniel dropped me off and I crawled in bed. Got up Monday and came to work and did SO much shit. Daniel called me at some point and said he wanted to hang out that night. I had to unpack and do all that shit, so I told him no. He came over last night and said he “wants to be more exclusive”. So whatever that means. I told him we’d have to discuss it. He’s fun, but I don’t agree with the whole pot thing or the no education and what not…

So anyways, work has been redic! Boss is an idiot, STILL. He is doing all kinds of shit behind my back that I need to do, he’s instructed our contractor to NOT call me back. Ugh, completely mess.

My landlord is also an idiot! He emailed me bitching about the fucking plants again, and then told me I can’t have my Door mat! WTF! Are you fucking KIDDING ME! Idiot!

So anyways, yes. Outta here.

Lava Beds National Park

Well this past weekend was one hell of a trip! Thursday I left work early and drove up to Fresno to meet with Nick. The bronco did GREAT driving up there although it was HOTTER then a hell and my balls were VERY sweaty! LOL. At one point I contemplated driving in my underwear!

Got to Fresno with some time to kill so I went to this cute little farmers market they have on campus. Enjoyed one of the most amazing Brownie ice cream sandwiches ever, bought some wine for mother and some other things. From there I walked over to the library and read some magazines and hung out. Nick showed up around 6ish and we were off to do last minute errands and other such stuff. Got to bed around 11pm after lots of catching up and what not.

UP early Friday morning, Nick made us a delicious breakfast and we were off to a quick start! The drive up there was great! So many things to see and do. I spent most of the time reading about scenic drives in the US and planning the drive back to Iowa! 8 Hours later and we were in Lava Beds where the fun started right away! We got a camp site and off we went to start exploring!

That evening we did a short cave tour, then hiked to the top of this Butte where they had a fire tower and watched the sunset. Got back to camp, made some delicious dinner and drank some wine. Got yelled at by some bitch in the campsite next to us and then went to bed! 🙂

Saturday we got up early and did a 6 mile hike to the edge of a HUGE lava flow. It was really cool to just see it suddenly all STOP right there. Climbed around on that for a while then hiked back… although this time we stopped and did a little detour up and over a butte and did some “scenic boys” style photos! After that we drove out to this Petroglyph point, where there were no petroglyphs and then hiked around some more and drove through all the fields which were VERY pretty this time of year!

Got back to camp, made a freeze dry meal and went to bed after a quick game of Scrabble in which I came up with the word “Fagit”! LOL.

Sunday we got up early and headed out for the day. Spent the whole day exploring caves which I have decided is NOT my thing to do! LOL. By the end Nick just went in alone and I hiked around on the surface! That evening we went up to Mammoth Crater and played frisbee and hung out. Then we went into town and had dinner! Delicious! If you’re ever in Merril, OR stop at Pappy-Ganders! 🙂

Monday we got up at 5:30 and drove home. I was super tired all weekend for some reason and I did not approve. Monday I had a horrible headache all day! Finally got back to LA at 7pm! Ugh what a long day of driving.

Today I leave for Iowa with Daniel. This should be another interesting TRIP!

Later!
