Sleepy Weekend

Well, it’s been another boring yet long weekend. Friday, I can’t really remember what I did. I know I had lunch with this guy Geoff, and he was cool. Also did more Loan things, Country Wide finially got back to me, with an 8.5% interest rate! Bastards. So I think I’ll go with the first guy who called me with 6.5%. But we shall see. I’m just so scared of getting ripped off. Geoff gave me the name of this guy, so I’m going to call him too.

Saturday I got up and did a ton of stuff. I had a lunch meeting at this place called Clementine (VERY good food) and have some more contract work to do. So that’s exciting, after that I came home and did a bunch of other stuff. Ended up going out with Chiba that night. We went and saw Blood Diamond. After that we went out to dinner for him and just hung out and talked. I got home about 4am and went to bed.

Sunday morning I woke up about 10am and was going to go on a bike ride, but it was FREEZING. So I laid down on the couch for a little bit and was going to go biking at 1 when it was warmer… I didn’t wake up again till 3:30pm. 🙁 Opps. So Sunday was pretty much completly wasted. Got up and made dinner. Chiba called in there and said he was going to go to Weho to meet some friends and asked if I wanted to meet him there. So I went off to Weho and we hung out again. Apparently Daniel (germany boy) moved out. lol. So that’s good news. 🙂 Chiba and I went out to dinner and talked for a while, so that was nice. I left after that and he and his friends went to The Abbey.

I can’t believe we are only 7 days from Christmas! I’m so excited. I leave Wed night and I have to pack and everything yet. I haven’t done anything yet! I think the plan is that on Wed after work I am going to go and drop my car off in Pomona @ David’s and he is going to fix it while I am gone. Chiba is going to drive me to the airport. Then on Wed when I get back Chiba will pick me up and we will go pick up my car. Hopefully this will all work out!

Have I mentioned how fucking cold it is here?!

Later.

Chiba’s Date

So the last two days have been pretty damn good. I honestly am having troubles remembering it all cause there was so much to write about!

So lets see. Tuesday I got home from my bike ride and was online talking to Chiba. He suggested I come and stay the night and then hang out all day Wed. I have two sick days that I need to use up or lose, so I decided to go for it. He was heading out to dinner with his friends and said to meet him there at 9:30.

I leave my place at 8:50, and txt message him that I’m on my way… Get to his place at 9:32 and call him. He’s STILL at the resturant. “Just leaving”. I said I’ll wait. I wait 30 minutes, still not there. I txt him that I’m leaving in 5 minutes if I don’t hear from him. He calls and says that he’s sorry he got tied up talking to this teacher person he was at dinner with and that he’s on his way. He didn’t get there till 10:30 and I was pretty damn pissed.

So we headed out to Falcon’s Lair in LA. Talk about Hollywood, this place was the epitome of Hollywood. Perfect boys, perfect hair, perfect everything. I felt so out of place. Thankfully I had borrowed a jacket from Chiba, so I looked semi-cute. Throughout the night people kept pointing at me and talking though. Very strange.

We met and chatted with a few people there and that was cool. We also saw Allison Janney there and sat on the couch across from her for a while. I was very excited. We left there at nearly 2 and went to Ralphs and went grocery shopping. That was cute.

Drove back to his house and we were up till 5am talking and making out. I also introduced him to EggNog. He liked it!

Wed we got up about 11ish and hung around his house, ate lunch, talked some more, etc. Headed out to PCC so that he could register for classes and that was an absolute mess. AND I got a freaking parking ticket! UGH! $25 that I really don’t have right now.

Anyways, I got a little annoyed that we wasted the whole day doing that, but it’s understandable that he needed to get it done. Shiela and Beak called in there too and it was very confusing because everyone kept going on and on in the background and I was trying to drive and get directions all at the same time.

So we got done with that and then headed out on the date that I had planned. Got up to Griffith just in time for the last bus, so that was good. Thank god we were on time for something!

Griffith Observatory was GREAT! As always you can see the pictures on the photodump. We just walked around and saw all the exhibits and did the planatarium show and all that. The sunset over LA was amazing. The Smog was great too! 🙂

From there we headed out to Zencu Sushi in Little Tokyo. It was a nice area and the food was great. So that’s good.

Drove back to his house and dropped him off. He seemed to really enjoy the night. So that’s what I was really looking for!

This Germany guy comes today though. Which I’m really annoyed about. I guess they are going to be going places. He says so far they have only planned Santa Barbara, and that this guy has already said that they are going to be hanging out every minute that Chiba is not working! Very annoying. We shall see if I get to see him over the next 3 weeks then.

On the way home I took the 710S. I get to the 105, which is one of the exits I can take, it’s closed. No big deal. I usually take the 91 to the 110 as it gets me closer to my house. So I keep going, the 91 is closed!!! What! And with NO warning. You get up to the exit and it’s just closed off! So I think, not a problem, the 405 is just 2 more miles, I can go 405N to the 110S and it’s only about 6 miles out of the way… So I keep going, 405….. CLOSED!

WHO fucking closes EVERY MAJOR freeway interchange off of another freeway!? WHO!? So I ended up having to go ALL THE WAY to Long Beach, about 30 minutes out of the way and then back trace up PCH.. So fucking annoying, and there was NO WARNING. If there had been a warning I could have taken Rosecrans or one of the other small streets off the 710 over to the 405. UGH!

I got home about 10:30 and just crashed. Got up this morning, got into work and was reading through my e-mail for the last two days…. I have an e-mail from my landlord again.. “Have not received the rent per out last conversation due on the first.”

EXCUSE ME!? You GOT IT 2 WEEKS EARLY, on FUCKING NOVEMBER 20th! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH! So I e-mail him back the jpg copies of the cashed check that my bank puts online. We’ll see what this mother fucker has to say about that. DUMB FUCKING SHIT HEAD. WHat the fuck is wrong with him. And in our previous conversations, he NEVER said ANYTHING about not recieving any rent. Just that he got it on NOVEMBER 20th! DUMB MOTHER FUCKER.

I feel like I’m forgetting something. Oh well. Adios!

World AIDS Day…

Hey Everyone, it’s World AIDS Day, a great time to go and donate to the cause and Support ME! For LifeCycle! Thanks to those who have already donated in support!

In other news, today is a day of links and such….

My Aunt, the M&M Lady!. I came across this the other day.

Hung out with this really cute Brazilian boy, Michael, he was nice. We’ll see if we hang out again. Not really my type, at least I don’t think. But he was nice and cool to hang out with. He just started learning English a year ago, so it was hard to understand him at times, but he knows three other languages, which is cool. Based on Austin’s book though, I need to stop disgrading people after only one date/hangout. lol

Keep on Walking!. I hate showing my reciept to Costco, etc. So do what this guy does, just keep on walking!

One picture every day spoof:

Ok, this is SWEET:

I want one in my house!

And if you’ve e-mailed or called recently. I’m SORRY if I have not yet got back to you. I’m still buried in e-mails and other things from the trip, and I just got a huge project put on me that’s due in two weeks. I was told to have “complete artistic control”… I’m NOT artisitic! Someone help me!

Going to The Abbey tonight. Come and join me!

Adios!

World Map…

Cool, eh? My goal… To FILL EVERYTHING! hahahah.

Anyways. I REALLY need to spead out my yearly costs some.. This time of year is just killer for me in costs.. First the trip, then insurange, then investments, and gifts and registartaion renewl.. Ugh. It’s killer! I also need new tires, new brakes, an oil change, and new windshield wiper blades.

And WHY must they fucking make it so god damn hard to make changes to insurance! Seriously they need to fucking simplify this! I call in because I got my bill and want to make changes to my policy. He says, “well your policy now is $1,200″… WAIT! I _JUST_ got a bill saying that I owe $1,042… How in the HELL is he getting $1,200 from? … Well apparently he cant’ make changes to the UPCOMING policy that I want to pay on NOW. He can only change the CURRENT policy. Why on EARTH would I want to change the fucking CURRENT policy? It’s up in 1 week. I’m not going to freaking change it now!

So the story is that I have to pay the full $1,042 now, make the change and then they will SEND me a check for the $200 difference. What fucking sense does that make. God damn insurance companies. I hate them all.

Second, is DMV. I have to get a smog check. Ugh! How annoying. I could have sworn I just did that last year! I really hope that it’s not going to cost me more then the $50 testing fee. BTW, since California requires you to get a smog check, it should be god damn free.

I hate cars, I hate owning cars. They are nothing but money traps! Why can’t LA have a good public transit system. Speaking of, I got a “Free Metro Pass for a Month” card in the mail the other day. It said “Welcome to the neighborhood”.. Good job being nearly 6 months late! Anyways, I went to the website to try and plan out my daily commute via MTA.. The damn route planner didn’t work.

I found this interesting… Some of these include very stupid reasons to KILL somebody, What’s wrong with America! Top 20 Unusual Homicides

Before I left for Berlin, I paid all my November bills… I got an e-mail from my landlord: “I received your rent check today, but it is due the 1st of each month, I don’t want to recieve it before that date”… Excuse me, what kind of IDIOT would freaking complain about getting $1,300 two weeks early! If/When I am a landlord, I would LOVE to have tenants like ME!

Speaking of, I really want to get my ass in gear about doing that. I need to start making calls for it!

Later.

The Fray & Germany Day 1

The Fray… SUCKED! SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED!

The band rocks, normally. Last night I loved the music, the lights, all the fucking HOT boys in the audience, but the vocals just SUCKED. You could NOT understand a WORD he was saying. We left even before the show was over.

[private]And of course robert was a fucking IDIOT! Screaming sexual things the whole time, talking about retarded stuff. He asked me like 2 times if I had been to Germany before. He should know me better then that! He told me he broke up with his ex-bf because after 2 months he said, “I love you”… I think that TWO MONTHS is plenty of time. UGH! What a fucking idiot. And because his ass was an HOUR late, we had to stand WAY in the back. When I got there I could have been like FRONT ROW![/private]

And to top off the horrible night.. traffic GETTING there was HELL! 2.5 hours to go 11.9 miles. YES 2.5 HOURS to go 11.9 MILES! It took me over an HOUR just to go the .5 (yes, HALF A FUCKING MILE) from my office to the freeway! THIS iS INSANE, the lights here in santa monica are RETARDED! ONE car would get through the intersection for EVERY TWO light rotations! OBSURD!

But did I mention the HOT HOT HOT boys that were in the audience, omg! And the opening band was great. So that’s good.

That night I went home, the power was out and was STILL out at 6am when I got up for work. I was on the freeway by 6:30 and the damn thing was at a stand still already! How do people DEAL! I just wish that LA had a GOOD public transport system! I also had an amazing dream that night… I was working at a resturant somewhere, and these three HOT, and I mean the hottest boys you will ever see.. 6’3”, muscles, yum yum! Anyways, they came in and I went home with them! 😉 haha.

Thursday I worked and did 8 million other things

Well, it’s now Saturday morning, 12:53am for LA, 9:53am for me here in Brussels. What a mess this

trip has been already, but lets not get ahead of ourselves….

Going back to Thursday. I went to work, and did some random stuff. Left about noon and went home to pack and clean and do whatnot. Also worked out in there and lots of other random stuff. Met up with Bryan, he was 30 minutes late, which I was not happy about since my day had been so full already. But it was nice to finially meet him and hang out. I had a good time, althogh we have very different tastes in music/movies. But sometimes that can be a good thing. No? I’d be interested in hanging out with him again.

Went to bed fairly early, got up early and went to the airport, no real problem getting in there, but I was in the wrong line at first. Apparently there are now different lines for if you are traveling internationally. Who knew!

Got on the first flight and sat next to two Executives of Victoria Secret. They talked business the whole trip. It was fairly annoying. I also read the book Austin gave me. Learned a lot. Apparently I am doing all the “right” things to meet guys, just not following through with it all. Or something. A lot of the advice about meeting people didn’t really pertain becase I’m gay and what not. But still a good book.

That flight = 5 hours. Ugh! And I am never flying American Airlines again. The flights were seriously like a flying refrigerator.

Got to JFK, and for some reaosn had to go BACK through security. Very annoying. This flight was supposed to have been 6.5 hours, but we were two hours late getting off the ground, so 8.5 hours on that plane.. Again, flying refrigerator. I was freezing to death the whole time. I spent most of flight thinking about what I had done wrong with Jay based on the book. Ugh. Also slept a lot, but clearly not enough. There was a sscreaming child in front of me.

Got to Brussels and they came on the intercom. “If you are staying here, please do not get out of your seat. If you are getting these 5 connections you must RUN to your gate.” My gate was A57… I was in B32. So we all get up and theres this guy BLOCKING the whole isle reading something…. oh and REALLLLLLLLLY hot boys on that flight. OMG!! Some guy starts yelling at the blocking guy and people start moving. So I get off the flight and start running to my gate.. I swaer it was 8 miles away. Had to go through not ONE but TWO, yes TWO security check points, get to gate A57, and NO PLANE!!! I start to panic, but before I get too crazy I check the monitor… I have to be in A50!!! Bastards on the plane lied.. Oh well, i get there and they are just starting to board, so I run to pee and come back.

The boys working the airport in Brussels… to DIE for, so fucking cute! And the accent. OMG!

BTW, I forgot to print out directions/address of our hostel. Hopefully I make it there! Food time now! Yay for good food on these flights.!
