Verizon Contract Changes

So. I talked to the Verizon people and they are NOT changing the costs to people who CURRENTLY have a TXT messaging option on the plan they have. I do sadly, so it means that I can’t get out of the contract on the material change issue. However, they ARE upping the prices on International TXT messages, so all you International people send me a txt so that I can complain about that and get out of the contract! hahaha. J/k, please don’t txt me from ot of the country! I went ahead and just changed my TXT plan from the $2.99/250 message plan to the Unlimited IN + 500 messages plan which is only $10 a month. If only I could go back to last month and apply it then!

I ended up just spending all day Sunday on the couch. It felt nice and yet lonely. I made Chicken and Rice which was amazing and then Jello for desert! Yumm!

Next weekend I really wanna escape somewhere for a camping trip.. Anyone game?

I love that the news sites are now directly quoting Bush.. “Quite the contrary. My spirits are strong, and I’m– I’m– I’m– I’m blessed to be the president,” he said.

[private]Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but Mayko randmly txted me last night saying “I am making some tea with my cute present and telling my roommate’s gf that you gave it to me”… And the point of that is? lol And then later said that he would invite me over to have some tea this week… Boys.[/private]

Bank Account

Usually I’m really anal about my bank account, checking it every day, putting in descriptions of what the purchase was for, etc. But this week I have been way to pre-occupied with other stuff. So I go and check it today.. There’s seriously almost $2,000 more dollars in there then there should be! I’m a bit worried by this. I want to spend it, but it must be there for some reason.. Right? I know last month I only withdrew 50% of my normal savings, but that only accounts for $700 of the 2k… And that $700 is allocated towards a credit card bill. I’m just waiting for it to post so that I get my points! haha. So yeah. I’m going to be trying to figure that shit out!

Out of all the people I invited to GGB, nearly 10, only 2 of them showed up. VERY annoying. Some excuses I got were, “It’s to cold”.. WTF! I went out on CHRISTMAS DAY, it was like 20 degrees out. We still had an amazing time. You’re in a fucking BAR who cares what it’s like outside. God I fucking hate people! I can understand if you’re going someplace like the Abbey or what not that’s open to the outside, but for gods sake people! That has to be the most ridiculous reason I’ve ever heard for not going to a bar. I was going to invite the neighboor lady, but her parents are here. 🙁 The group that ended up going consisted of 4 people, including myself. We had a good time, but just weren’t social enough with the crowd so we left at like 12:30 or so. I did however have two random people come up and talk to me.. One was a writer for the Gilmore Girls (so that was UBER exciting for me) and the other was one of the organizers. He was uber cute. 🙂 haha.

I ran a 10 min mile Friday, my fastest ever… But it was a bad idea, because now I can barely move my knees.

After GGB, Nic came back over and we watched Zoolander and cuddled on the couch and made out. He was here till nearly 4am and then I crashed in bed all alone…

It was SOO cold here! Like, soooo cold. They are having these “winter weather” watches and stuff, and it’s just barely freezing! They even opened the state’s Emergency Response Center because of the cold! You know the big ass things they build incase of terrorist attacks!?!? However, it is SO cold in my apartment. I’ve turned up the heat to 80 and it just won’t come on! I checked the pilot light and everything. 🙁 You try living in a 60 degree house! It’s not fun!

Saturday I signed up for my class, I did Japanese. I really think that’ll be the most exciting and interesting. Good news too is that my Prof seems to have EXCELLENT reviews.

Saturday afternoon I went out flying with Jason. That was really cool. We only had an hour in the plane, but I was excited! We started out in Hawthorne and flew south west over Long Beach and then back up the coast by San Pedro, PV, etc. Verrrrry cool. After that we went out and chatted about boys and life, etc. I just dunno what to do about my boy problems! Ugh! You can see the photos, as always on the photodump. From there I came home and had all the fun of cleaning out my old mail and stuff from 2006. God I have a lot of unopened mail! But the files are now all cleaned up and ready for taxes. I’m going to owe so much. 🙁

That night I was planning on just staying in and cuddling up with the cats and watching a movie then hitting bed to go biking in the morning.. But when I went to take my bike out to my car at like 6:30pm, it was SOOO fucking cold! No way was I going to go bike in this weather. So I just laid on the couch. Mayko called at like 10 and said he was still at work but invited me to go out to Abbey. I said sure, since I wasn’t doing anything else. Got dressed and headed up there. He got there shortly after that and the bar tender gave us free drinks since I had to stand there for like 20 minutes. He was so nice. I tipped him $5 anyways. So Mayko and I just hung out and talked and stuff. It was annoying though, becuse like when he first got there he gave me this HUGE hug, and then by the end of the night he was being very boyfriendy again!! Like holding my hand when we walked around, and getting very close and stuff. Not that I didn’t love every minute of it though, and enjoy hanging out with him again…. But still if he doesn’t wanna be bf’s, then I wish he wouldn’t be so hand holdy and stuff, cause it just makes me confused. About 1ish we headed over to Here and danced for a while. Yes, I actually danced! I’m sure not very well, but I did!

I got gropped hard core there too, and I don’t mean like just accidental ass touches and what not. I mean full on people GRABBING my ass and my chest and grabbing my arm and trying to get me to talk to them. UGH! Left there just after last call and headed to the typical Pizza place, on the way there he interlinked arms and walked like that!?! Boys are so confusing! Hung out at the pizza place and saw a huge fight, the cops were called.

Now just imagine though,it’s this TINY pizza place, PACKED TO THE GILLS with DRUNK ASS HOMOS. There’s this BIG ass guy in there talking shit to everyone that walks by. Not really sure what happened but all of a sudden he was completely shirtless, and had his pants half undone and people are screaming at him. Then punches are thrown! It was crazyness. Then as the cops were walking in he starts throwing punchs again. Boy they sure took him down FAST! lol.

So anyways, Pizza place was cool, we chatted and as always random ass people came and sat with us and talked to us. I LOVE that about going out with him. I dunno what it is, but people just sit and talk to us completely randomly! So strange. About 3ish we were going to go Hooka with some of his friends at UCLA, but as we were walking back to his car (linked arms again), they called and said that they were leaving. So I drove him to his car and he gave me a big hug and he said maybe we can do Beige (Falcon) on Tuesday night. So we’ll see what comes of it. Again, Boys are SOOO confusing!

On the drive home, the 405South was closed, of course! So I had to take the long way home. Very annoying. So that’s two nights in a row of being up till 4am! And yet here I am awake at 10:30.

Verizon is increasing TXT message rates from $0.10 to $0.15 per message. Seriously you can’t tell me that’s at all justified! But in the good news apparently that constitutes a “material change” to their contracts, which means I can cancell without paying the ETF, hello iPhone! Now the only problem would be arranging with Cingular so that I can get a contract in March and then still be able to buy the iPhone in June when it comes out!

Also, for christmas I made the Astro-Weenie Christmas Tree… Well the pic was posted on the blog recently. Check it out here. Thanks to the Aunt for pointing out that it was up!

Ok. Today, Sunday, I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I really want to go out hiking with Jason or Nic, because I bought this “82 Great Hikes in LA” book. But it’s just so damn cold. I also need to go replenish the cleaning ladys money because I took $20 of it to go out last night. And I need to do work as well! It’s just so damn cold I just want to lay on the couch under my blankets and cuddle up with the kitties, or someone cute. 🙂

But anyways, this blog is REALLY long. I’m sorry they’ve all been coming every day pretty much for the last two weeks. But I have so many saved up that I’m trying to get those posted and then also tell you about my life! I mean, this blog is “The life of Me!” haha.

Adios!

Now Friends!

So, first it was boys who I like just randomly up and disappearing and not talking to me… and NOW it’s friends! OMG! You might remember the other day I talked about how Hector just randomly blocked me… Well I messaged him again and got an answer…

Hey

You didn’t do anything and I apologize for the deleting and the blocking and shit. I was just upset.

I don’t play games and I don’t mean to make people upset but I just wanted to think for a weekend.

I really like you. I like your morals, your ambitions, your work, your humor, everything. It made me so jealous to hear you talk about Mayko and pining over him. If he only knew how lucky he was (is?) to have someone like you wanting him, talking about him nonstop and all that. I also didn’t want to be one of those guys to hear the “But Were Such Good Friends” Speech knowing that while friends are nice to have, I want to find a guy to date on a grander level than what I have been experiencing.

I knew after Wednesday I was getting too close and sooner or later I would hear that speech. That was one of the things I had to think about.

(1) Do I continue to be his friend and hope he returns my feelings one day?

(2) Do I continue to be his friend and snap one day and confess all this in person and get that speech?

(3) Do I realize my feelings won’t be returned but continue to be friends while he talks about his other boys, dates, heartaches, etc?

(4) Do I realize my feelings won’t be returned and just quit now while I’m ahead?

This probably makes me sound insane but after the # of boys that have pissed me off, I start streamlining my thinking process and subsequent decision.

I guess I just got to close when there was no reason too and it scared me/pissed me off that I was wandering down that road again.

Anyway. I knew I owed you an explanation. Sorry it came so late.

UGH! So now it’s people that I just wanted to be friends with disappearing. OMG. Seriously though. There are a lot of people who I really like and enjoy benig around but I know that I can’t be more then just friends with them. I don’t just up and block them and stop hanging out with them. I make the best of the friendship we have! This is totally not the way to go about things. So annoying.

And then yesterday like three people from my past just randomly IMed me wanting to talk. First it was this Stephen guy from Chapman, then some other random, and then VegasMike.. So strange! Stephen and I are going to hang out sometime next week.

Lets see, not too much else to do. I got my student ID and a welcome letter from SMC already in e-mail. So I guess that means that I can sign up for the class…

Working out of Newport thursday. Just wasn’t in the mood to sit in that dark annoying Santa Monica office. That night it was too damn cold to go riding and looked like rain, so I stayed home and Nic came over. We watched Dirty Love. That was fun, very funny movie. He got his goodnight kiss. He’s a nice enough guy, but not “book smart” in his words. Plus we haven’t done anything but sit around my apartment and talk and hang out. I need more activity!

Got an e-mail from our answering service the other day.. It said that the client “Defrogged the internet”… I’m going to start telling everyone to defrog the internet, apparently it makes it go faster!

70% of Americans disapprove sending more troops to Iraq.. How in the HELL can Bush think that’s a good idea. What a fucking idiot.

I just watched the Apple KeyNote where Jobs introduced the AMAZING iPhone. I get goooooose bumps! Amazing! Go watch a demo here. Also check out this COOL Unofficial AppleTablet.

And one last thing… Niels Hoven is HOT! Watch him on Beauty and the Geek!

Boys Lie!

So last night I was talking to this guy who recently moved here from TN. I was bitching about how I had been talking to this other guy who thought I was crazy that sex was an expression of Love. I had just seen Latter Days again and was on about the whole “Equate sex to a handshake” thing.

Anyways, he was all like. “I totally agree with you, blah blah blah”. So to test him, I got on my fake a4a profile and messaged him: “what up? you ever top?”…. To which he replies. “Hey man, yeah I top, especially for someone hot like you. Do you have myspace or AIM?”.. UGH! Boys.

This weekend has been packed. Mayko actually invited me out to WeHo on Saturday night. I didn’t go.

Friday I hung out with Bryan. Not sure if it was considered a date or not. But who knows. I now LOVE Casa Arigato The two of us ate sushi for only $20.. And I mean a LOT of sushi. Half Price! YAY! After that we drove to the mall, but there were no good movies playing, so we came back to mine and watched one.

Saturday I had a breakfast date, so-so. A lunch meeting, and then a coffee date. So that was fun. Busy!

Sunday I biked 40 miles. Had a date with this guy Nic who’s been bugging me to hang out. He was SOOO cute and so nice!! He’s like 6’4″ and just moved here from OK. Hopefully he and I can hang out again soon. 🙂 I invited him over to just watch a movie cause I was soooo tired. But once the movie was over I was having such a good time, I didn’t want him to leave, so we went out to dinner and then came back to mine. He ended up being there for like 5 hours total. lol.

I finially bought all my shit on Bestbuy.com. After going to two other stores and not finding what I want. Of course online said that the stuff I wanted was in ALL the stores I went too! Bastards.

I found out this weekend that my building and the one next door is for sale. $5 million dollars for just under half an acre of land. Crazyness. The listings say they are for development. Which means they would tear down the buildings here now and rebuild. UGH! So look for me moving soon.

I’m sooo annoyed by this! Anyone wanna go in and buy the place with me? Just need a few more… HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars for the down payment!

Jamie, Jack And Stench

Every morning I tune into Star 98.7 here in LA to listen to the hilarious and sometimes controversial morning show of Jamie, Jack and Stench. They make my morning commute barrable. They laugh, they are serious, they tell great stories, and they play some great music. Last summer, Star suddenly did away with them . I think I blogged about it then. After a few weeks and TONS of people calling and complaining they brought them back. Well it sure was short lived. Because they are off the air again! What is wrong with Star and Clear Channel when they can’t listen to the community they serve and keep a great radio show on the air! I mean for gods sake, the host Ryan Seacrest on KissFM 102.7. UGH!

The sad thing is that most of the stations here in LA that I listen to are owned by Clear Channel… This morning as I was on my way to work at 4:10am, I was flipping through the stations and THREE of the six sations I have programmed into my car were all playing the same fucking SONG! All of them Clear Channel Stations! So I am officially switching over to JackFM 93.1. I encourage anyone else in LA to stop listening to Clear Channel Stations.

In other news… I have a date lined up for each of the next 4 days! Ok, so I’m not getting a very good start on my new years resolution. But I gotta get out there and do this, and get a move on.

After mulling things over I called my Agent yesterday afternoon and thankfully he hadn’t put the offer in yet. I asked him to lower it a little bit more, and then submit it. I really like the building, but with that woman being in such a long lease, I don’t want to be just breaking even the first three years. I want to have a little bit of income incase something horrible goes wrong! I’m still hoping that they accept, but in case they don’t I had him send me a few other places to look at as well.

Went to Best Buy last night. I’m sure I’ve bloged about it before but we got a gift certificate. I looked online and found the things I want to buy, go to the store. They only had ONE of the things on my list. The list Includes:

HoneyWell HFD-130

Wii

– UPS (Which is what they had in Stock)

Osterizer 4126

The Da Vinci Code (Which they had in stock for $10 more then it was listed for on the website!)

Airport Express

Strangers With Candy (The series OR The Movie)

Chicken Run

The Dick Van Dyke Show (Seasons 4,5)

Obviously I wasn’t going to get the WHOLE list, but just some of the items off the list. I’ve really been debating lately about getting a Wii or PSP. But I’m just not sure how much of a novelty it would be for me. You know I’m not much of a gamer, but it just seems like so much fun!

Now, how come when I Google for a specific product, the first result isn’t the manufacturer’s website? IE. If I Google for “Osterizer 4126”. I think the first result should be from www.oster.com. I don’t want to have to go through all the results of places selling the damn things. That’s what Froogle is for!

Holy SHIT! I just checked my cell phone bill.. $121! I used 775 text messages last month! Oh my Jesus! So then, no more txts this month! I knew I was going over my plan last month. But I had NO IDEA by how much!

Adios.
