San Fran!

Well, I just got back from a VERY long weekend in San Fran. It was really good, I got pretty annoyed a lot it seems. But The trip it self was very fun.

Lets see, Friday Andrew and I left OC about 3pm. It was 2 hours before we had planned, but he got out of work early so that was a good thing. We drove up there and didn’t have any fights.. I was in a really good mood, he seemed to be as well. So it was nice. Got up there and Oksy was at a party, so she asked us to come join. At first we were going to, but then we decided it was just too late and we were both tired and wanted to go to bed. So we got her to come home and just talked for a while. This is where the first annoyance came in though. Was that I just wanted to go to bed and talk about things in the morning and she just wanted to keep talking and talking. Blah.

Anyways, we got up Saturday morning and Andrew and I took the train into San Fran. That was a nice relaxing ride. Got there and got off at Powell, from there we walked up Market to Pier 1, where there was this HUGE farmer’s market! It was so fun. I took tons of pics there. After that we walked all the way down to pier 39 and then Fishermans Warf. From ther we walked down to Ghiradelli Square.

We had amazing Ice Cream there. It was so yummy! From there we walked over to Loumbard (sp?) walked down that and then up to California Street, took that all the way over to Laguna Street and then Laguna street all the way down to Haight and Ashbury. Shopped around there for a while and then Oksy joined us there.

From there we went down to Castro and hung out there. Walked around, bought some UBER cute underwear. Went to dinner there and our waiter was an asshole.. But I said I hated the place, so it’s ok. We also went to this realy cute Coffee shop there.

After that we all went out to this little Woody’s esq place, had a drink and then headed out to another bar. This one was more Dancy and shit. Andrew and Oksy said they were going to go get a drink, and left me to sit and watch the coats and stuff. So I sit there and 30 minutes later they still aren’t back. So I get up and go find them talking to this boy. So I get really pissed off cause ONE of them could have come and got me and said, “We’re over here tlaking to someone, want to come”. But they just left me. So I handed Oksy her stuff and walked out and went back to the damn Coffee shop. Oksy follwed and I told her to jsut go back to the bar. 30 minutes later they both finially come back. And we get into this HUGE argument about what to do. I told them to just freaking leave me alone and I’ll sit there and read and for them to go back to the bar. Oksy starts yelling at me to stop being so difficult, when I wasn’t being difficult at all. I was telling them exactly what I wanted! Hello!

So they all leave and a little while later they come back with the boy they were talking to and of course he and Andrew were making out. Then they went off to some other bar. The came back and got me about midnight and we all just went home.

Sunday we all slept in and then went out to Chinatown with google boy. Oksy missed the 3 signs on the freeway that said Chinatown and then got annoyed when she got lost. We finially got parked walked to china town and ate lunch. It was nice, from there we all walked back to the MOMA (or was it MOCA?) either way. Lots of crazy art. Just the type I like. 🙂 Spent a few hours there and then went back and watche Superman.. The only thing that movie had going for it was that Superman was UBER hot! Even yummier with his hair wet! 🙂 After that Andrew and I went back to the apartment and just hung out and went to bed. Oksy and Google boy went out drinking.

Monday we again slept in and then went out to Badoga Bay, the bridge and redwoods way up north. It was really fun. I honestly think this was the best day for me. It was a really pretty drive and being out in the wilderness mademe happy. We stopped at this crazy place and had REALLy good ice cream again. 🙂

Got back into the city and things started to go downhill again. We all wanted Sushi for dinner, but it was late. I kept saying we should just stop at one of the 8 million sushi places we were driving past, but they kept insisting on going to this place way out in Mnt View that neither of them really KNEW where it was. So we got lost and of course by the time we got there it was closed. As was everthing else around. Finially at like 1030 I just got bitchy enough that we stopped at Jack-in-the-box for food. Andrew and I went back to the arpartment and Oksy and google boy went out again.

This morning we left at 8 and I dropped andrew off at 1:30ish.

Overall the trip was fun, San Fran wasn’t what I was expecting, everyone has talked it up way too much. But obviously, the wife and I are not made to spend weekends worth of time together. haha.

I called the boy after dropping Andrew off. I havne’t had hardly any time to talk to him this weekend, and his txting replys have been few and far between. Which is understandable since he was in Vegas for most of the time too. But we all know I like to over analize things and I always think things are going worse then they are when first starting out… I don’t like to keep getting my hopes up just to have them crushed a month in with some stupid breakup reason… So anyways, he said he’d call me back in 30 minutes… which meant 2:30.. well he didn’t call back till 3:30 which was a bit annoying, but it was a nice convo. short but nice. The other day he said he missed me. which made me feel really good… But he was drunk, so I’m not sure how much feeling went into it. I missed him. He also keeps talking about going out to vegas. which would be tons of fun! I really enjoy him so far because it seems he’s someone who I can say, “lets do this” and he’ll do it.. IE, the bike ride to bridge to no where.. Which we talked about doing this upcoming weekend. so hopefully that’ll happen. I also really hope this vegas trip happens. And I think he’d be a good candiate for that napa trip I was talking about in the spring. Lots of other things I think he’d like to do with me that I have on my list.

My scope today says: “Don’t fret if it feels like a relationship is falling apart. Rather, you are being given an opportunity to clarify your positions before moving forward again.” Lets hope it’s right, cause I don’t want this one to fall apart!

Robert also wants me to go to mexico with him and Mike. as well as a camping trip. i’m very excited for both. There’s not enough weekends this summer for it all! haha. well more like not enough money! 😀

Anyways. I’ve rambled enough. Adios!

Stupid people.

Hmm, so what have I been up too? Nothing but work! Work! and MORE WORK!

I’ve been putting in 12 hours days lately. Although I still find time to hit the beach and bike. 🙂 I’m really going to have to put some hard core time into the gym. I’m just not sure when I could fit that into my schedule. Like, I want to do it right after work, since I’m already out and about. But then I miss out on prime beach time. But if I do the beach first, then I’m too lazy to change and go to the gym. Also if I wait then it’s prime gym time and the place is packed. Ugh. Such hard decisions I have in my life!

Yesterday was deadline 1 of my project and it got shown to the AMs. So after work I hung out with Robert and didn’t have to think about it. That was nice for once! 🙂 Deadline 2 is in two weeks, so starting Monday it’s back to coding for 12 hours a day!

It felt really good showing off this project to everyone and they were all like amazed. I took the small requirements they asked for and made this thing amazing. Usually when you get to this part of the project and show them the mock ups they always want to add TONS of things. I only got a few minor requests. So that was really nice feeling. Today I’m just relaxing at work, taking care of some things that have had to be put on hold during the first part of this project.

So yeah, here it is Friday. I’m working in NB today. It’s nice to have my window office back. It gets really bad sitting in the office with no windows. Though, I suppose it’s better then a cube, which I’ll be in soon. :'(

I’m a bit annoyed about today though. The week before Dustin left for home we talked about what I’d do when I came down on Fridays. He graciously offered up his place for me to crash. I’ve been trying to contact him all week to try and figure out what’s going on and he won’t respond at all. I finially got out of him that he is going to the boom, but I still don’t know if I have a place to sleep or not, so it’s kinda annoying.

This seems relevant to today’s drive to OC:

“Pay more attention to what you’re doing. Look down the road ahead of (you) not right at the end of the hood,” Casey said.

The other day I was driving home from work and saw a lady stopped in the middle of a three lane side street… Right behind her was an AAA truck, filling her up with a gallon of gas. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what’s on either side of her? That’s right, A GAS STATION on both sides of the street! Why couldn’t she have just WALKED to either side of the street and purchased a gallon of gas instead of calling AAA!?

Carlito wants to drink in my bed…. ;D lol

BTW, this is hilarious! Lynn Westmoreland is a dumbass!

Ok, it’s seriously taken me all day to write this! I’m out.

I Want Pie!

Hmm, so yesterday was really excellent.

I’ve decided that instead of always saying “Hola”, etc. I’m going to start saying “bonjour” and “bonsoir”. Maybe. Perhaps I should go German, though that’s a lot harder to spell.

Either way. Got off work last night and wasn’t really going to do my bike ride, but ended up doing it anyways. I carried my bike for like a mile up this really steap hill and my back hurts now. 🙁

After that came home and just lounged around. Met up with Robert and Jon and we all went out to Chili’s for dinner. It was very entertaining. Talked about lots of random stuff.

Once we were done there we dropped Jon off at his house again so he could go get Joel and then come back to my place. Robert and I ran a few errands and then met up with Jon and Joel at my place… I was very embarrassed about that though, A) because I haven’t cleaned in forever and my place is a pig sty and B) because there were condoms and lube sitting out in plain site that I had completely forgotten about!

I’m never going to live that one down!

Headed out to the Boom and just had a really great time there. At some point I said that if I had a dollar I’d tip the dancer, so Joel pulls out a dollar and starts shoving it down my pants… And then I took it and shoved it back in his pocket cause I really wasn’t going to tip the waiter and then he shoved it down my pants again and it got lost.. Eventually it fell out and I shoved it back down Joel’s pants… I think the dollar eventually ended up down Jon’s pants… That’s one SLUTTY dollar! lol

I also ended up in the middle of Joel and Jon’s dancing crazyness for about 2 seconds and then I skidaddled out of there. I had a lot to drink, but I wasn’t really that drunk. I’ve been holding my alcohol pretty well lately.

The wet underwear contest REALLY was NOT that good.. It was sad to tell you the truth. But whatever. The company made up for it. Oh, and green shirt boy was there again.. in the SAME outfit as he was last weekend! Um, hello!? You don’t do that shit!

blah blah blah… 😛

Anyways, Robert, Than, Mike and I are all off to go hiking. So bonsoir!

Stupid Airport

Well, here I am sitting in DFW… I hate this airport!

It amazes me though when you travel how diverse the people are, you find people from all over the country and world at a place like this, and yet everyone is so much the same. It really does show you how America has become a more single unit, a nation instead of a nation/state. It reminds me of the 30 Days show a while back about how people in some small ass michigan town were all pissed because the muslims were broadcasting the call to prayer (ie the same thing as ringing bells). These stupid hicks were all pissed and saying they were “brainwashing” people with it.

Saying, “Why can’t they just fit in and blend in”. That’s not what america is supposed to be about. This country is made of people from every country, every continent. That’s what this place is about, it’s about diversity and ACCEPTING everyone’s beliefs. This is not a one-religion country! why can’t people understand that we should all be different.

I know I’m kinda of a hipocrite talking about this, as I’m not the most diverse person in the world, and I don’t really do anything to stand out. But I am who I am. I don’t buy expensive clothes to impress the person at the mall who I’ll never see again, I don’t buy an expensive car to impress some jackass at a stop light that I’ll never even talk to, or probably even make eye contact with.

I buy what I buy because I like it and I want it for me. If I do end up buying a lexus or inifiniti, it’s because that’s what I decided I wanted for myself. Not because that’s what will make me look the best.

Sometime I get really pissed talking to people who are native OCers. You can really tell who they are. EVerything they do, every little action is thought through based on HOW it will be perceived by their peers. I say screw what they want, if it’s not what you want, they why do it? There’s no point… absolutely NONE!

It pisses me off so much. Sometimes I wish I could just go some place secluded and do work and make a living, without having to interact with these stupid people all the time, without having to be bombarded by thousands of ads trying to make me to buy things I don’t never every single day. I want to be able to turn around and not see a fucking McDonalds or a Starfucks. I want to be able to go to the grocery store, a small town, locally owned store and be able to AFFORD the organic products. (They are insanely expensive here in the OC).

I want a store where the meat walks in the back door and leaves the front in my sack. I want to go to a store where the people actually know who I am without having to look at the receipt, just so they can say. ‘Thank you Mr. Black”.

But alas, we’ll never have that world because too many people have been seduced into living this falseness. I don’t want to live in this substitution. I don’t want to be seduced into this world where I’m supposed to get married and have sex twice a week and have a house with a white picket fence and two and a half kids… That’s not what I want. I want to be ME.

I sat next to some guy from Le Mars, Iowa on the plane.. such a small world.

I am one of the millions of Texans who didn’t vote for George W Bush in this last apocalyptic election. So your magazine [Adbusters] is a lifesaver here in Dallas, where the majority of resident automatons are equally materialistic, mindless and violent. Yesterday a man opened the sun roof of his jaguar and shot three people with an AK-47 after a bar fight. If bush can’t prevent urban warfare in his home state, how does he expect to do it in an alien country a world away?

I find that hilarious. I kinda want to get my concealed weapons permit.

I pisses me off that there are posters everywhere here at DFW for the T-Mobile HotSpot… it says. “Another reason to get here two hours early”…. The airport used to be a spot where you were disconnected, like your car, and your house. Where work could be separated from home. The airport was someplace where you could sit back and relax and wait for your plane. Americans really need to realize the separation between home and work…. And they need to do something about it fast.

I’m glad that I work in a company which is fairly strick about these things. 40 hours a week, etc etc… Although there are times when I have to work at home, or over 40 hours a week, or on my weekend. But that’s to be expected when you’re running an uptime reliant thing. It’s sad that the rest of America isn’t getting it, Corporate america.

The latest Adbusters was full of things about schools and education. It was a REALLY good read. I suggest that if you have someone going into public school you should read it…

Sorry about all the disconjoined thoughts.

Everyone should go download music by ‘i f williams’.. very good shit. They have a few free songs on their website. I’m going to see if I can get the CD while I’m in Iowa.

I’m out. Adios.

Why…

He’ll give me his favorite sweatshirt. (especially after he put his cologne on it)

He’ll stay home with me and watch Disney Movies.

And the only person he would ever watch it with would be me.

He’ll call me at 3 AM and ask me what I’m doing.

He’ll tell me he couldn’t fall asleep because he was thinking about me, and he needed to hear my voice.

And he always whispers something sweet in my ear.

He’ll take me to a concert to see his favorite band.

And he won’t get embarrassed to tell me he loves me in front of his friends.

When I cry he’ll tell me I’m too beautiful to and he’ll kiss every tear.

He’ll always make me feel better because he knows the perfect things to say to me.

All of his friends will know we’re in love because he’ll talk about me to them.

He’ll stay up with me all night when I’m sick.

When we’re walking together he’ll stop and pick up a flower and put it behind my ear.

He’ll love everything about me and tell me that I’m perfect.

We always end up laughing about silly fights.

We won’t get mad for making fun of each other because we crack up at every bit of it.

Even if we’re a million years old, butterflies will still go crazy inside of me…every time he kisses me.

He’ll tell me he’d die without me.

He’ll surprise me by bringing me over my favorite food when I’m having a bad day.

He would think I was beautiful if I dressed so crappy it was classy.

When we go out for ice cream, he’ll put some on my nose,then I’ll put some all over his face. And we just never stop laughing.

He wouldn’t be scared to cry in front of me– and would hold me when I cry…

He’ll introduce me to his friends as the coolest girl he’s ever met.

We would have contests of how far we could spit our gum, or how far we could jump off a swing.

He would grab my waist and kiss my neck.

And we’d always take pictures in photo booths.

He’ll let me go places with his mom.

We would play tag and not care whose watching.

We’d kiss in the rain.

And when I hear him speak, I’ll fall in love all over again.

I want a boy who can argue over stupid things with me, and than go totally soft when I got sad and apologize.

I want someone who would lay with me outside under the stars.

Someone who will squirt me with water guns in the house.

When we kissed our hips would be pressed together.

I want someone to be there no matter what … always and forever.

I’ll be his everything.

And he’ll be even more to me.

He will love me for always.

Why did I ever let it go when I already had it? Stupid fucking me.
