Heat — Builds

Well, I’ve got heat/hot water now.. Though there was a bit of a problem with it last night.

They came about noon and turned on the gas. He said I should have hot water within an hour. I got up about 5ish and took a shower. It was luke warm. So I went outside and heard water running. So I look and the pressure value of the water heater is letting all the hot water out.

I called Maint and they came to fix it. That took a couple hours. Hopefully it’ll work tonight when I go to take a shower.

I might be getting a dryer. Which would be good. Though. Who knows? I dunno if I want to spent that money yet.

I purchased my wireless-cable router today. A Linksys WCG200. Hopefully it’ll work well.

I’m on chapter 7 of my CCNA Intro book. So half way through it then I can take my test for the INTRO part. Then I have to take the ICND part. Woot.

There’s some new guy who’s working here and he’s really cute. Geeky, cute.

I guess they are talking about getting me to do builds. That’s exciting. 🙂 It means more resposibility. Twice a week builds.

I’m going to go buy a light today to bring into work. I got some of those day-light bulbs. So I’m going to bring that in as well and use it. I hate this whole only getting a few hours (6am-8am) of sunlight a day now that it’s dark by the time I get out of bed. Hopefully this light will help some with my body.

Working out has been going alright. Though I’m still at 172. I want to get down! DOWN!

PU’s mailed me my shit yesterday. Hopefully it’ll be here by weeks end. I really want to cook something!

I want them to come out here soon. Them and both grandmas. I found some REALLY cool places to take my Gmas and my mom too. Also found a place that had some OLD ass Singer sewing machines that I think they’d ALL love to have as collectables!

Anyways. I think I’m going to head out now since I’m working a long day tomorrow.

Laters all.

Welcome Chris and Ty

Well apparently the roommates have been reading my Journal. So Welcome to them.

However, it appears there is need to go back over what a blog is and what the point of this is.

A blog, is an open space for me to write my feelings/rants/annoyance/happyness/etc. The writings on here are for public interpertation and whom ever reads it can and will read it. If there’s something on here which you find offensive and derogatory, you can nicely ask me and I will politely tell you that I have the free speech to put what I want here. 🙂

The world who reads this comes for the interesting tale of the life of a gay boy who moved from Iowa to Sothern California. They come here not for gossip about who I’m living with/fucking/making out with or for the latest news of the world. But for the pure entertainment value and hopefully some form of educational value, in the times when I write something semi-educational.

Again, a blog is the equivilent of private journal, which has been opened to the public for thier needs to read and enjoy…


Now, back to what was happening this weekend before I got stolen away from my desk yesterday….

Anyways, we came down to the Laguna area and looked at a few places and I found some really nice apartments that I really liked. Went to CoCo’s for supper and then took Andrew back to Chapman, played some Video games and then I headed home to hang out with everyone. We did that, and now it’s been so long that I can’t rember what we did. Though I know it was fun and exciting!

OH, I do remember buying halloween candy at Wal-Mart.

Sunday was a day of rest, as it should be. I spent the day in bed tell 4ish when I finallly got up and then went and did some stuff and just generally hung around.

Before leaving I left Ty the 1/3 of utilities which I owe.

Went to work and that was hellish/exciting all at the same time. All the sites went down at some point or another in the morning hours and the OnCall SA didn’t have his blackberry on, so I had to call the other one and wake him. I felt back. But he’s switching to OnCall this week then.

Jon came annd stole me at 6am yesterday and took me for a drive. We went over to the SBC Communications building which is fucking awesome! I couldn’t beleive the security in that place, and I asked Jon what we pay per month for there and it was insane!

Anyways, we talked about my future with the company and said that I want to go into the SA path of a career. He said I need to start working on Cisco certs then. I should get one level per month. I went out and bought a book for the CCNA exam. Hopefully by the end of Dec I’ll have that. 🙂

So that was about the only good thing that happened all yesterday.

And since Sunday at noon, I’ve only had 3 hours of sleep.

I get home and there’s a note on my door saying, “Chirs this is the wrong amount, please pay the correct amount by monday.” I wrote on there, “Ty, this is the corrrect amount if Chris is going to continue living here and using Utilities.” And I taped it back to thier dooor. Tried going to bed, but I couldn’t because I was way too pissed off about a lot of things, so I went and showered.

Came out and Ty comes up to me and says, “We need to talk.” I tell him that he doesn’t want to talk to me unless he wants a black-eye. And go into my room and shut the door. Get dressed and go to leave. He trys talking to me anyways, and brings up this website. (IE the reason for the refresher on the discliamer). And I get even more pissed off at him.

He claims I never clean. I do clean, not my fault he can’t look and tell that. Just like the other night when I spent an hour after cooking supper cleaning the kitchen and he comes out 30 minutes and continues to re-clean it. Even though it was ALREADY CLEAN. This including the MANY other times which I’ve cleaned up after them, and done many other things to clean. AND all the times which JonJOn cleans our apartment.

He then went on to say that the parking pass is in “his” share of the rent…Umm, excuse me? When I moved in, he stated and I have it in writing that the pass was a shared item. Which it hasn’t been for weeks now. He also claims that the pass costs him an extra $100 a month, or some outrageous thing like that. Anyways, I went today and asked for a copy of the lease and it said nothing about an extra fee for the parking pass. Which is where this “fee” would have to be included if he is in fact paying it.

Also, when he gave me a the bill for the utilities this month he included a price for Water and trash… Which FYI, he stated before I moved in that… “Water and Trash pickup are included in the rent.” And that’s a direct quote from his e-mail…. Also in his e-mail he stated that HE pays for the home phone line, and offers that the roommate can use it, and pay for it. However, I DO NOT use it, nor do I WANT to use it… But I pay for it.

Another utilities based thing, it is against california law for the “landlord” in this case Ty, because I’m sub-leasing from him and paying HIM rent to cut off any utilities which I need to function and or do my work. Well today when I got home, I was unable to access the Wireless network. It said my computer was unauthorized. This either means something got really fucked up (Which is highly unlikely because it’s been working without a hitch in 6 months) or Ty has changed the WEp password or disallowed my MAC address… Again, another instance of him breaking California law, since this is a utility which I pay for, and was un-duely cut off… If in fact this is the case about what happened… Which I beleive it is, because I saw him using his computer wirelessly today.

Lets, see other things he’s done wrong…. The apartment complex doesn’t know about the cats. (An additional deposit and monthly fee). He states in one of his e-mails that “It is required by law and the state of California that any person over the age of 18 must sign on to a lease if they will be living in the apartment.”… Chris is technically LIVING in our apartment, is over the age of 18, and Ty has stated that Chris is paying RENT. HOWEVER, Chris is NOT on the lease agreement. Thus Ty is breaking California law.

I called up my lawyer, who thus put me on conf with a nice team of rental property lawyers, and we had a nice 2 hours discussion today. I faxed them copies of my lease with the property owners and my copy of my arrangement with Ty (the written e-mails). He said that since I had a pre-arranged contact with Ty before the lease with the property owner was signed. So thus the lease with Ty has precedence over my lease with the property owner and I can thus break the lease with the property owner at any time.

There’s many other things which my lawyer and I discussed and it seems that I can get out of all leases with Ty. However, I’ve choosen to be nice about it and offer to continue to pay though Mid-December, even though I’m moving out on Saturday. I also have choosen not to bring up all of these areas where Ty is breaking california law, as well as all the places where our property owner could immediately break off the lease complety and evict him.

Anyways, needless to say, I didn’t sleep at all today and spent the day on the phone/looking for apartments. I found a really nice one and have put down my reserve for it. I can move in on Saturday if everything goes well.

Tonight was long and lots of yelling. Though I did get in a nice 3 hour nap. I could use some more sleepy time.

Well, I’ve written enough. So…

Laters all.

Headache/Caffine

I have this splitting headache as if I’ve been drinking hard core style. Though I haven’t been.

I hardly slept at all today. I got home about 8:30 and tried to sleep from then tell like 10ish, but couldn’t. So jonJon came over, cause he was sick and had called into work. Anyways, he came over and we hung out at my place watching trashy day time TV for a while and then eventually I drug him out to foothill where we bought my curtians.

They had a really good sale and the woman gave me the 40% off even though I didn’t have the coupon. 🙂 Which was good, because the fabirc was $50 even WITH the 40% already taken off! Then they had a 50% off sale on rods and stuff, so I bought that there as well. Now I’m just trying to locate a sewing machine to use. Nikki said she’s going to ask her mom if I can borrow hers. That’d be nice if I can, cauuse I don’t know where else I’d get one from.

After that we went to Old Navy which was right next door and I was scared in there. That store was a HUGE mess! We talked to Dave for a bit, who by the way has really hot eyes. Rarr. Broke fromthere and came back to my place. I cooked supper and we ate, then JonJon finally learned how to Knit! So he worked on his scarf, and I fell asleep finally!

Slept tell 11:15ish when Andrew called and woke me up. Got ready and came into work.

Oh, I forgot to mention, early in the day I came out of my room to get a drink and saw Ty walking around naked! Thankfully I didn’t have my glasses on, so I just saw this large white naked body and nothing else! Thank god for being blind!

So that’s basically been my day.

Yesterday I also e-mailed a whole bunch of people. Namely Frank and Kay, like I said I would. I also e-mailed the Associate Dean of the LAS collage back at ISU asking for an update about what’s going on with that stupid Yucatan class. She said she’d contact the Profs and get back to me. I’ll give her a week.

Umm, and that’s been about my life.

Laters all.

San Diego

This weekend was really great.

I did lots of random things, and went to San Diego on Saturday. Very fun down there. Bought this really cute soccer shirt for $5. And ate at this semi-good Thai place. It was alright.

Lets see, Friday night we hung out at star fucks and had a really good time. It was nice hanging with eveyrone again, it always seems like it’s been forever even though it relaly hasn’t been. Came home and went to bed really early that night for some reason.

Saturday got up early and like I said, went to San Diego. That was really fun. We walked around the gay area. And I found this REALLY cool store that’s exactly like RagStock in Kansas City. It was hot. Then we found this other store that was really neat and had some hot fucking underwear and some really nice shirts.

Came home and I made supper, then we went to Jo-Anns and found some really neat fabric to make curtians. The lady working said that on Sunday there’d be a 40% off coupon in the news paper, so we decided not to buy it and wait tell Sunday to get the coupon. Needless to say, I went through the paper TWICE today and couldn’t find it. Gah! So it’s going to be like $40 for curtains for my room. I’d also like to borrow someones sewing machine, but if I can’t I’ll just use that no-fray stuff. Whatever.

Came home and watched QaF. Went to bed at like 10. Really early again. lol

My imaginary protfolio (What’d I’d have invested in if I’ve invested anything) is down by $89. 🙁 Maybe I should wait a bit to invest money.

Today I got up about 1 and went up to chapman. Had a really fun day, though the night was a bit boring/slow.

Went to Habit and they had some really cute clothes there, but no rocket shirt like they said they had on the phone. Bah! Also walked around the rest of that area… I guess it’s in the ‘anti-mall’.

Umm, I’ve been very mad today. about a lot of things.

I was laying on the couch earlier and suddenly got REALLY mad about my Yucatan grade thing again. Those stupid fucking hoes. I sent the profs an e-mail today. we’ll see if they reply.

I think I’ll send Frank and Kay an e-mail as well, as my PU’s said they stopped by and were asking about me. It makes me feel good, but also a really annoyed because they didn’t bother coming/sending a card to my graduation. I don’t think those two understand how much they mean to me, or my life. Seriously, if it weren’t for Frank and Kay. I’m not sure I’d be where I am today.

We’ve been on this major HIPAA compliance thing lately. And apparently we’re getting a new door video monitoring thing. I guess no one except a very few people will be allowed keys and anyone that wants in has to be buzzed in by the HD now (they choose us cause there’s always someone in our office from midnight to 7pm). It’s really crazy.

Well anyways, laters all.
