Family Reunion

Hello again. So nice to see you. 🙂

I’m in Iowa right now, went to the family reunion. But let’s start back a little bit. A couple weeks ago I found this guy to help out with the bronco. So one saturday I drove up there to work on it with him. We got the new radiator out and started to put it in. What a mess. It didn’t fit at all and we spent all damn day on the stupid thing. I tore out all the interior as well. We didn’t get finished and I left for iowa a few days later so he’s kept it. The guy is a little weird. I had to paypal him more money, etc. Weirdo.

The next day we went out to Joshua Tree to climb with Michael, his sister and Giullio, It was a mess. The area they picked only had about 3 climbs we could do. All Trad and they all required two ropes to TR on. What a mess the whole day. As soon as I got there I had to rescue Giullio who only made if half way up a climb. I was pretty annoyed with the whole day. Most people only got one climb done all day.

I only worked two very busy days. Nearly 16 hours each day.

Flew home Wed. What a mess. I knew as soon as I got the airport that it would be a disaster. No point in going into it. But I got home 7 hours late.

Thursday we went out to the farm and had dinner with my grandma. The aunt who I don’t like invited herself. It was a bit awk. Spent the day out there and got home and just relaxed. Nothing too exciting.

Friday I drove down to Lenox to see my grandma and for the 100th Family reunion. Got there and the it was just the evil aunt and her dogs. Ugh. My grandma and her were bikering like crazy. It was driving me nuts. Thankfully the good aunt and my cousin showed up.

That night we had about 15 people over for dinner. Tacos and what not. Everyone stayed up really late but I was crazy tired for some reason.

Sat morning everyone was up at like 6am so I got about 4 hours of sleep. Everyone was rushing around to get stuff done. We headed up to the depot and got things setup. Had lunch, lots of kids, people I didn’t know, etc. It was fun. The kids were so adorable, Bailey and Logan specifically. They were both so smart and great to hang out with. They live in Seattle so I’m going to take them climbing next time I go up there. Sat around forever, played games, etc. Then had a huge dinner. Cleaned up the depot went back to Grandma’s house and ate some more.

Sunday was more of the same, people came over, had brunch, had lunch, had dinner, eat eat eat! That’s basically all we did this weekend. Monday was more eating and then I came home.

I can’t wait to get home and see Eric. This weekend I have really missed him.

Sj Eats, Poker, etc

Again it’s been a while. I suck at updating this blog any more, no one reads it other then about 2 people and it’s become a hassle to keep updated with all the stuff that’s been going on.

Like I said, things have been really busy, we got hacked, a few times at work and I had to clean all that stuff up. The new guys that took over Aaron’s customers have not been very helpful and now they want to start charging me for the stuff that Aaron did for free. I did the math and they are making about $1,200/month off our account. I think that should be enough for them to spend helping us when there are major problems. It’s not like I’m calling them every day and bitching. I should just make my own company and bill GTC and pocket the $1,200!

There’s been some issues between ECH and I. We’re past the do no wrong state for sure and into the figuring things out stage. He’s an awesome bf, but sometimes he’s just so one sighted. A couple weeks ago I had my house warming party (a huge success). That weekend there was also Daniel’s dance party and Peter wilson’s house party. He wanted to go to both of them on Saturday. After we already had a busy long night friday and a busy day saturday.

I just don’t get what his obsession is with constantly going out to parties. He says he was depressed and just wants to meet new people, etc. I get that, but three parties in one weekend I think is a little excessive. Plus since it taks him so long to orgasm we never have sex because there is never any “time” for doing it. Well there’d be time if he didn’t insist on being constantly busy with other stuff. Then before daniel’s party we went to dinner with some of his friends which caused us to be nearly an hour late. I was so pissed.

At the party I put my foot down and told him no to going to pete’s party. Then he told his friends we couldn’t go because we were going to go home and have sex. Not something I think he should be sharing with people. Ugh.

We went and saw Thor and then Something Borrowed the next week. Thor was amazing, Something Borrowed was horrible. Thursday we went to poker. On the way there I was open and honest with him about how nervous I was, how I didn’t know any poker, told him he’d have to explain everything. He said. “Don’t worry they’ll explain everything.” So we get there, hang out for about an hour talking in which a couple people said directly to him “I thought you said he’d never come to poker”… WTF does that mean?

Then also he started randomly introducing me as “Christopher”. WTF! His reply was “it’s funny”. No it’s not funny.

So then we started playing. We had specifically asked the leader if we could be on the same table so that he could teach me.

Well that didn’t happen. We sat down next to each other and then they all just started playing. We did about two hands and ECH hadn’t explained a damn thing. So I dropped out. Then the whole rest of the game he just ignored me instead of teaching me what was happening. The whole point of this was so that I would feel more included in HIS life. And here we are at something the “loves” to do and he just ignored me completely. Fuck.

We left early.

This past weekend we went up to SJ Eats in San Jose. Stayed at his parents house (in separate bed rooms). Met his parents, they were nice but it was so awk. Went out saturday day to SJ eats and walked around downtown SJ. HIs friends up there were so nice. I like them a lot better then the people he knows here in LA.

That night he had a family dinner that I wasn’t allowed at. So I had to entertain myself. It’s so funny seeing the family dynamics. Like my family, if we had stayed with them, my dad would have had breakfast ready for us when we got up, they would have insisted that ECH go with us to the family dinner, etc. Yet his family was just the oposite. Very odd.

Anyways, that weekend was very good and that’s basically been it. My months are quickly become busy until September now. So much for staying less busy and working on my body and personal life.

I’ve also been feeling a lot more anxious lately about new things. I’m not sure. Maybe I should see my doctor about it. Poker, dodgeball, etc are all the same.

Ugh.

Sick Again!

Ugh. I’m sick again. After the HC trip. At least it happened after and not before.

So yes I’ve been traveling a lot. Been in WA, Atalanta, etc. Working in WA is so much more pleasant now that Mary is gone. The new girl is much nicer to work with.

Atl was very interesting. The boss man was like a lost puppy. He made us get up at 7am on Sunday even though the stupid conference didn’t start till 1pm! Ugh. I could have totally slept in that day.

Lots of awesome stuff learned at the conference. Now I just can’t wait to get started actually playing with it all and learning it. I got my boss to approve two classes for me! yay classes! Need to start learning again. I’ve been feeling really stupid lately.

Flew back to LA on Wed and picked up the gang then off to Bishop. Amazing trip in bishop. But kinda lame at the same time. Nothing of real importance happened. ECH was acting weird with his pot eating and drinking. It’s not like him at all and I was kinda bummed by it.

Not much else going on really. My aunt is apparently not doing well with the whole cancer thing so going to spend a day with her when I’m home in May. Looking forward to a trip to canada in July!

Stressful couple weeks.

It’s been a stressful couple weeks to be honest with you.

Thankfully Sophia has been in the office all this week to deal with stuff.

Aaron’s passing is just still such a shock and so annoying because there’s so much I still want to call him and just chat with him on a day-to-day basis. Ugh.

Other things have been going ok. This past weekend we went climbing out at devil’s punchbowl. It was pouring rain here in LA and it was beautiful and sunny out there. Amazing. This weekend we’re headed to Riverside and Stoney point! Should be fun!

Things with ECH are going great. There have been a few annoyances lately but nothing major. The biggest thing is this damn poker thing. I just have to get over that he will do that. What annoys me most is that when you ask him about something he just give short answers about how/what happened and then he goes back to facebooking or video gaming. Sometimes I feel like he’s dating facebook and my phone instead of me.

The apartment is looking really good. Got lots of new furniture. Still have to decorate some stuff but other then that it’s ready for a party!

R.I.P Aaron Dahlberg

This past weekend I got some horrible news. My very good friend, Aaron Dahlberg, was shot and killed in a burglary gone wrong in Puerto Rico.

We’ll all miss Aaron so much. He was always such a positive and happy person. I met him 3 or 4 years ago at Astricon and we have since become great friends, as he did with pretty much anyone he met.

I’ll miss him so much, our hours of chatting on the phone every week, being able to just dial 611 and get him quickly.

I still am in shock that this could happen to such an amazing person.

You’ll be missed so much Aaron.
