Mind Eraser?

I wish I could have one of those cool mind erasers like they have in MIB, but one that only erases my regrets. There’s lots of things in my life that I both regret doing, and things that I regret not doing.

But for me, they build up, and bug the hell out of me years later. I can’t seem to move on from them. Last night I was kept awake for hours because of something I didn’t do (or maybe it was something I did, depending on the way you look at the situation) when I was 12! God damnit.

Either way, as yesterday’s post stated, I was lazy as hell. I did work my full 8 hours though, and I got some stuff done. But not as much as I could reallly have gotten done. I applied to a few part time jobs. Extra money is always nice. An extra $400-500 a month could do a lot for me. 🙂

After I got home I was going to go biking to start burning off the fat that I gained at my parents house (which is very visiable), but then I got home and decided that it was still too cold to go out. God I’m lazy. I need to get my ass back going to the gym and doing the biking thing. Gah, why is staying healthy so much work?

I ended up sitting on the couch chatting with people online all night, I met someone who’s from Bakersfield, and he started talking with Blake, and then we got into this random three sided conversation. It was crazy. He and I might be doing lunch. I’m going to give him some business contacts cause he’s trying to find a job, and since I keep getting job offers, I figured I’d just pass those people onto him. (Speaking of which, I got ANOTHER call yesterday for a job down in SD)

I also met this guy who graduated from ISU in 2003 and is living in Dana Point. He seems cool, but we haven’t talked too much. I met this other random guy who apparently knows Nikki and JonJon and who was dating Matt at the SAME TIME that Matt was dating JonJon.. Very crazyness. I want to contact Nikki to get her side of the story, because of course his story makes him out to be the victim. I just like hearing both sides. 🙂

And lastly, I’ve been e-mailing this guy back and forth for like a week, he’s been wanting to hang out. But since I’ve been in Iowa I clearly couldn’t. Well last night he indicated that he wanted to hook up as well as hang out. Well I knew I had seen his profile on MySpace and could have sworn it said he was in a realtionship, so I looked and YEP, that fucker is clearly in a relationship, and his boyfriend posts like every other day that he “loves him” on his comments and shit. It’s like, WTF? What is WRONG with the gay community that they want to hook up with random people, EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE A BOYFRIEND ALREADY!?!?!?! God I hate homos.

My mom also called last night and asked how Blake was doing, cause I told her about him being in the hospital, I had to talk to someone about it. Anyways, I thought that was very nice of her. She’s got her up days. lol.

I started researching investments again for this next year, I’m looking into other companies besides T Rowe Price, and I REALLY like Vanguard. If you want to invest something, you should also check them out. I think I will open a few accounts with them this year. They have much lower Expense Ratios then TRP, which is nice. I also am enjoying my new Orange account. 🙂 I need to find a bank around here to cash my EE Bonds for free though. Since Principal doesn’t have an actual location and you have to be physically present to cash them, I can’t just mail them in like a normal check. But WF charges you to cash them if you aren’t a customer, so I have to call some other banks. I’m thinking a credit union would be my best bet. But now even THEY are statrting to charge non-customers for services. I fucking hate banks.

OG installed WP2.0 the other day and it’s very cool. I really need to get my ass in gear and update as well. Maybe this weekend, but probably not.

Christmas is Over

Well, christmas’ are all over now. We got home last night and opened all the presents from the parents. I got some good stuff, but I don’t know what it is with my mother she always seems to pick out the things that i want least on my list. Oh well. It’s all good stuff. 🙂 Drank some more wine with my mom and we watched ‘Christmas with the Kranks” I was bawling by the time that damn movie was over with. I can’t wait till my damn period is over with! Grrr, seems like it’s been going on for months now though.

Went to bed and read some of my new suze orman book. Good stuff so far! Went to bed about midnight and couldn’t get to sleep. Woke up about 2:30 again though cause santa was making way too much noise!

Got up again at 8:00 this mornin g and showered then we did santa. I got some more good stuff but nothing too important. I was kinda surprised that this year my parents didn’t go very hard out. But I guess my brother is really draining them of money, the stupid little fuck. There’s a chance he might have to go to jail. hahaha.

After that we all lounged around and then headed out to the farm. Got there right as the other aunt was getting there. So at least we weren’t the first ones. Seems like everyone hates going out there, it’s funny. My grandma was actually so late, she didn’t get there till right before we started eating. And that damn aunt makes everyone pray. She’s the only fucking religious one. Debbie and I actually got along pretty well and we might be going to germany this spring. Woot!

The stupid aunt also bought all her food from hy-vee in one of those pre-made things. Lazy bitch. Paper plates, plastic silver wear. That’s not fucking christmas!

Anyways, after that we all did christmas. My grandma told me to grab a certian present, but the bitch aunt changed up the way we do it so I couldn’t get the one she told me too. But I like what I got. Plus I got $40 from my grandma for christmas and my birthday, so that was nice of her. 🙂

Now we’re on the way home.

Right after we got to the farm though I got some really bad news and that really put me in a sad mood all day. 🙁 Jimmy txted me and said that Blkae was in the hospital. I’m really sad by this, I hate thinking that he spent christmas in the hospital. Though I’m sure he’s surrounded by people that love him still.

I’ve really been thinking that I might stand by to go back early. He’s supposed to be in the OC area for new years and it’d be great to get to see him. Though I wonder if he’d be free enough so that I’d have someone to kiss at midnight or if he’s going to be sutck with his dad or what. I just know taht I want to see him so badly again.

I think I’m really over Iowa now, I still hate the OC, and I still love Iowa, but I’m over moving back. I’m ready to go somewhere new.

Also after driving 400 miles with my dad in the last two days, I’ve realized that even though my mom is the one who TAUGHT me how to drive, I LEARNED from my dad. lol

Adios all.

One Thousand Yellow Daisies

Blah. I finished “The Confusion” last night. I can’t WAIT to get onto the next one. Perhaps I shall buy it while I am back in Iowa and read it there.

How come it seems the only christmas song I’ve been hearing out here is “Last Christmas” I really HATE that song.

I got into work today and someone had printed out my away message and posted it on my desk? How random!

I leave this afternoon for Iowa and get back in late tonight. I’m very excited!! Woot! I packed last night and all that shit.

I had the most random dream last night about Andrew. We were having some wicked sex. And I mean like MEAN wicked sex, we were yelling at each other the whole time, like the same arguments we’ve had a million times before. It was SO fucking wierd.

Check out my NEW photodump. I’ll work on making it faster once I get back from Iowa. I need to install a few things so that it seves up thumbnails instead of the full sized image!

And that’s about it.

Adios all!

Christmas for all… But me. :(

So i was really craving some DQ Blizzards today, so before going out and getting one i looked up the nut facts.

ONE LARGE Blizzard contains youre ENTIRE DAYS worth of calories and 172% of your daily FAT INTACT! And they wonder why americans are so fucking fat! Even the small one is still 50% of your fat and 1/4 of your calories!

Needless to say, i didn’t go get one. INstead i went to Vons and got some molassas cookies, which i’m sure are at least just a little better for you then those damn DQ blizzards!

Today was christmas for everyone at my office but me. 🙁 Needless to say again, i was annoyed. OG got netapp training, WF got an external HD, SR went to london with his wife, and DS got new routers or switches or something… Where’s my present?! I want training.

I really want to go talk to jeff about what they’re vision is for me in the company. because i’m getting really annoyed with this. i did get a HUGe project dumped on me on monday though. looks like that should be pumped out in 3 days though. But then I got a HUGE list of new updates to the timesheet app. which I really want to convert to php from coldfusion, perhaps i should take this chance to convert it, depending onhow looong my time frame is to get those done. so i guess that was my present. lol

anyways, i want to talk to jeff but we all know i don’t do that very well. about the only time i can confront people that piss me off is when they really piss me off, but then i go off on them like crazy.

speaking of! this fucker almost killed me on the interstate today… we were both getting on at the same on ramp, and it’s 3 lanes, he was in the far left one, i was in the middle… i passed him cause hew as going slow and start to merge into the one he’s in, because I needed to be in that lane or else it turns into an exit. but then he SPPPPEEEEDDDSS up and gets next to me and starts making blow job motions, so i speed up and get infront of him, then he speeds up and cuts me off and then gets next to me again and starts flipping me off and going the bj motions again. so i flip him off, slam on my brakes and try to get behind him (because by this point i was about to get off at another exit) but he does the same and almost slams into me because he tries getting into the same lane i’m in.. eventually this big semi cut him off and i was albe to get away. stupid fuckers.

ALSO! BT at work annoyed me as wlel. he sent out the new on call list today for the week and i told put the wrong person for next week. i’ve told him TWICE (9/27 and 11/22, i found the e-mails.) that WF and I are switching next week because otherwise he’d be on call 3 weeks for dec… so i replied to the notice telling him AGAIN that WF and i were switching and he e-mails me back saying “you need to tell me these things”.. So i replied (I sent you two e-mails in the past) and then listed the dates.

Then he e-mails me back and is like, guess i need to get my eyes checked because i missed them both.. WHICH! He REPLIED to the one in Sept saying “I’m going to update my calendar now”… Which he clearly didn’t! He’s a really nice guy, but i mean common, this is a REALLY easy thing to manage!

I’ve been spoiled the last couple days getting to talk to blake all day long. We’ve actually been skyping which is fun. He talks and then I reply by typing. haha. It’s so cute. lol. Then when no one of just one or two people are in the office I actually talk to him. Anyways, the point is that he wasn’t on today because he was in chemo, and i missed talking to him. :'(

Joshua Imed me today, claiming he’s been in the hospital since thursday and broke his phone. Then he was like, “wanna hang out still” and I said no. Stupid fucker. Then he was like, “I want to see your cock, i’ve never seen an uncut one before” and I was like, “you’re stupid”. Well I didn’t really say that I just stopped talkig to him. What a wierdo.

Everyone from Iowa has been talking about how nice the snow is.. Andrew mentioned it on his blog and jenks said something about going snow boarding today on his… I can’t wait to get back. There better still be snow! and I’m going skiiing damnit. Did I mention that Jenks and I are going to Chicago or Minn while I’m back! that’ll be so much fun. I just wish that the ice palace would be up, but it doesn’t start till mid-jan. 🙁

Anyways. i’m out. adios.

Insurance

So I got my bill for the insurnace the other day. It went down $100 from last year, but that was still with them thinking I lived in Iowa.

So I called them up and told them I moved and got a new quote…

It went from $716 to $1,863…

Then I had him add my dad on there, that brought it down to $1606.16. Which is still less then the other quotes I had recieved from places, and with TWICE the coverage, dollar amount wise!

So then we fill out the paper work and he’s like, “Oh, BTW you are eligible for the 5 year aniversary discount and a Farm B discount”… So that brought it down to $1,473. Still, TWICE what I was paying in Iowa, but a damn good deal for here in Cali! Then he told me that I had to pay by either visa or mastercard. Well, my bank account didn’t have that much in there so that ruled out using the Visa, so then I had to use a Mastercard… Alas, I DO NOT HAVE a Mastercard. So I told him I would have to transfer money to my bank account and call him back the next day.

PS!!!!! If you’re not a member of Farm Bureau I highly suggest it.. You get TONS of amazing benifits. (Just do a google search for “YOUR STATE Farm Bureau”) It’s only $65 a year here in Cali and my mom said it was $40 a year in Iowa.

So I called my mom and talked to her and she convinced me that I didn’t need Comprehensive coverage on my car, so when I called Nick back the next day, I told him to drop that which brought my total down to $936! So I’m really excited about this because I had BUDGETED $2,000 for insurance! Woot!

Then I asked him about new cars, and got a quote on the car that’s top on my list right now.. He said with FULL coverage at my current limits it would only be $1,200. Which I think is strange, but whatever. 😀

So I finailly have that all sorted out. I need to call Saddleback too to find out what I need to do if I just want to take one class. I don’t want to enroll and do all the stupid tests they make you take to place you, because I just want continuing education credits. But I really think that I want to take a class there next semester. It would keep me busy.

And Tom, I officially asked Blake to the holiday christmas party.. All he said was.. “I wish you could see my calendar” I’m guessing that’s a no. lol. But like I keep saying, even if he is free, it’s a long ass ways for him to drive just for a party.. But if he could come down, I’d probably take the whole day off to spend with him.

Anyways, I’m out!
