My Issues?

Sooo.. I’m starting therapy again. My first appointment is early tomorrow morning. We’ll see how it goes. Hopefully I can find one here that I like. I tried a few different ones through the years of college, and none of them were very good. So we’ll see.

Today I broke the $20k mark in my cushion fund. Angel said I should just move back to my parents house and live for a while. I could easily live for over a year on that amount. But for anyone who knows me, knows that I’m obsessed with saving money, and I HATE spending money if there’s no income. I think I can hold out for a little while longer. Plus like I said before I’d feel like I’d been beat if I do move back there to my parents… I think just moving back to the midwest in general would be better.

Just to give you a sample of the crazyness that’s on myspace around here… this random guy sent me a message yesterday. It said “How long have you lived in Cali? Midwest boy’s rock my socks! :D”… So I read it like 5 minutes after he sent it… I really didn’t feel like replying to it right then and there, because I wasn’t in the mood to be friendly towards someone random, and making small talk. And since he didn’t give hardly anyting to talk about I felt it best to wait. So then like 20 minutes later he sends me this NASTY message bitching about how he expects people to reply to him and blah blah blah… OMG calm the fuck down people!

Yesterday was a really productive day here at the office, but now I’ve got nothing to do today and my boss is out of the office. It’s been getting harder and harder to get my ass out of bed every morning and to come in.

Ginny is here on Saturday! Woot! 😀 Thank god!

Long Beach

So yesterday was pretty good.

OG, asked me a simple question about mysql performance tuning and then I spent the rest of the day researching that stuff. Finially made some changes late last night to hopefully speed things up.

Our MySQL box in the 148 days that it was up and runinng served over 69 million requests. Which REALLY isn’t that many, but considering the type of box it’s running on, that’s a lot

Anyways, Austin picked me up from the office about 1:30 and we went up to Fry’s. I’ve never been there before, and OMG is that place HUGE! From there we drove up to Long Beach where he had an interview. I sat in Borders for the hour that it took and read a book.

I ended up buying it too, it’s called California Camping. It lists over 1,500 camp sites. This guy has PERSONALLY gone and camped at them all and he gives a short preview of them and a rating. So it seems really nice.

Camping this weekend, maybe?

So after the interview, Austin said it went really well. But there’s a posibility of him having to move to San Diego.

We drove around Long Beach for a while looking at things and talking. The area we were in is REALLY nice. Found a Sushi place and ate there. It was 50% off! Yay! We got Squid, Salmon, Tuna, Scallops and a California Roll. They were all pretty good. I’ve decided that I HATE the sea-weed they put around the rolls though.

From there we took PCH back down to Newport, which was a really pretty drive because the sun was going down. He told me that I need to act more excited and that I don’t show my emotions enough. It’s true.. Ever since Andrew, I haven’t.

We picked up my car and drove back to my area and went to BestBuy/CompUSA. He’s in the search for a keyboard. On the way there, this jackass cut me off, so I honked at him. Then he flipped ME off and then SLAMMED on his brakes trying to make me rear end him.

I don’t fucking GET people. When you fucking do something WRONG you have NO RIGHT to fucking do that shit. Jackasses.

After shopping we broke and I went home. Sat on the computer for a while and did that work stuff and then went to bed and read for a while.

Adios y’all!

Boring End…

So the rest of the weekend has been very boring.

After Austin left on Sunday I didn’t even get out of bed till 4pm. Hell, I didn’t even wake up till 2. Found out that Austin had my cell phone, so I drove down there to pick it up about 5:30 or so and wasn’t planning on staying at all, but he invited me to stay for a while. We laid in his bed and watched some TV. He kept saying, “why do you tease me” but he wouldn’t elaborate. He also said that when we got home from the bar we laid in bed talking for a long time, but he wouldn’t tell me about what.

I left there about 7, and found that I drunk dialed a lot more people then I thought:

Danny P (twice)

Austin (even though he was IN THE CAR)

Andrew

Brandon

Jenks

Ginny

Oksy

I’ve heard from Oksy, Jenks and Ginny since then. I’m very annoyed with Andrew in general and still want to call and bitch him out, even though I’m pretty sure I did that while I was drunk.. At least if I did it again, I would remember doing it. That stupid fucker. ::death eyes::

Got home and laid around in bed chatting with people online. This guy on myspace found me and said that he was sitting next to us at the bar for awhile and asked me on a date.. I don’t have any memory of this guy, but whatever. Maybe I will take him up on that… who knows. He doesn’t have any pics up on myspace, and he says he doesn’t have any digital ones to send.. Which I usually take means he’s ugly.

Today I got up about 10 and went to the store and bought stuff for Peanut Pie.. Yummy! I’ve already eaten 1/4th of it. 🙁 I’ll be so fat… But according to Austin’s scale, I’m down to 160… and he said it was acurate. Who knows. I still feel fatter then normal. Perhaps I’m preg… Though I dunno who from, since I haven’t had sex in a year, does that mean I’m a born again virgin?!

Came home, made the pie and have just been sitting around reading and looking things up. I got the newest Adbusters, and they’ve changed the paper they use to something very cheap. It’s annoying.

On friday on my way home I took a little bit of a different route, and right down the street from my office they are building these big condo buildings called the 3000 The Plaza.

They have these HUGE signs saying “Starting in the low $400,000’s”… So.. I really want a house/condo.. And these look UBER nice. I figure I could get a 1 bedroom and do an interest only loan for like 4 or 5 years, and then sell it. Make a nice profit hopefully and do whatever. Even if I don’t STAY in the area for that long, I could rent it out after I leave or something.

Who knows.

I’m sure as with everything else, I’ll end up not doing it. I need motivation people!

Oh, I test drove the Volvo S40… I really loved the car itself, but there was ONE VERY annoying thing about it.. The damn gas and brake pedal are WAY too close together. I dunno if I could live with that… And I don’t think you should have to LEARN how to drive your car as the dealer said, “You’ll learn to deal with it”… NO, that’s not an answer!

Blast, I’m out!

Busy Busy Weekend

So… It’s been one hell of a weekend for me.

Lets go back to Friday, Austin was in the area when I got off work, so we went over to Fashion Island and ate lunch. He got annoyed with me because he didn’t think it was very smart to just ride over in one car. But he seemed ok with it all by the time we were over.

Drove back to my house and the traffic was pretty bad. Got there and the first thing he did was jump into my bed and take his shirt off and say. “Come lay with me for a while.”… So I was like thinking yay, you know he wants to cuddle and it’s going to be a good hanging out again.

So we end up laying in my bed from like 4 to 8 watching this movie, Beaches. After that we get up and I’m hungry so I start making dinner and he’s like, “Well I’m going to go home, I need Austin time and I can entertain myself more.” So I get really offended by that, I’m sorry that I have to take a minute to FREAKING COOK MySELF DINNER. Plus I was pissed because I was really hoping that he would spend the night again. :'( We haven’t slept together in forever, and I like that. I LOVE SLEEPING with people! Grrr.

So get into it and he leaves and I’m all pissed off, we had a big long convo about it once he got home and he said:

9:13:28 PM austin: i like you a lot, but i don’t think ur the guy for me

9:20:36 PM austin: i feel like i need someone more dominating

9:21:08 PM austin: more controlling

I’m not sure WHY he wants that though, those things never freaking work out. The controlling person always gets mad because they feel like they are being too motherly and the other person always gets mad because they eventually feel like the other is being too controlling. I’m really hoping that it’s just that he does have a job and is feeling lost. But who knows.

Anyways, I went to bed about 10 and slept horribly. Got up at 8:30 and cleaned up my house some and then met Robert for a bike ride at 9:30. We did that and I got home about noon and showered and tried calling Mark, etc to figure out plans. Everytime I’d call him he was like, “I’ll call you back in a minute” But he never did, so that was annoying. FInially Austin and I said we’d just go up there and hang out. Thankfully as we were heading out to meet each other Mark called back and we got the plans made.

We met up at the mall and he came up and hugged me which was nice. He ate lunch and we had a good talk then headed up to my house. Got in my car and started driving and he got all pissed at me because I didn’t have any music in my car and I just like to listen to the radio. So we drove there without really saying much to each other.

Got up there and I had a really good time. Skyler (with his wierd spelling) and James were both there. It was fun seeing them again, but I wish that they would have come out to dinner with us that night. James is so yummy! Too bad he’s uber straight! lol.

So we hung out at the conference and had a good time, talked to lots of random people and learned alot. So that was good. We went to this “Weakest Geek” thing and it was pretty entertaining.

Mark and Austin really talked a lot while I was off talking to other people, so they were getting along and it seemed like Austin was enjoying himself.

Oh, somewhere in there we picked up this guy named Brandon who was also family and kinda cute in a really geeky way.

So after the weakest geek we all pile into Scott’s truck and headed up to Santa Monica to Thrid Street. We found this nice Italian place and got right in without a problem! We all sat around drinking and talking and having a really good time and the food was amazing! We were there for over 2 hours, and I had 2 martini’s and Mark was nice enough to pay for everyone, it was like $60 a person too!!

We headed out after that to West Hollywood. Somehow Mark ended up between Austin and I in the car and they were being all cuddly and to me it even looked like they were giving each other little kisses here and there… Thus began my being pissed off for the rest of the fucking night.

So we get to The Abbey. We get in there and on the way there, Austin runs into someone he knows.. Which annoys me a bit. Then he starts talking about how he was there for new years and went home with this random guy. Which PISSED me off even more. So we get in there and the place is fucking PACKED like crazy.

We walk all the way to the back and buy everyone a round of drinks. Then on the way out Austin runs into this other guy he knows, and I’m just so annoyed with him by that point that Brandon and I just keep walking. We get outside and stand under this heat lamp thing and this cute little lesbian comes up and starts talking to us, so we chat with her for a bit and I bum a smoke off her. She eventually leaves and Austin, Mark and Scott STILL aren’t back, so Brandon and I go find a spot to sit down because I was starting to have this crazy break down and started crying.

So we find a spot and sit and talk and I poor my guts out to him and then FINIALLY Mark and Austin show up and Austin starts being all cute with me and stuff and asking if I’m pissed and I just pretty much ignored him. So we stay there till like 2 and finially we all leave and Mark and Austin sit next to each other again and AGAIN it looked as though they were giving kisses. Grrr.

We get back to the hotel and Austin’s all talking about just going up to Scott’s room and sleeping there. But he doesn’t. So Mark and Austin get into the same bed, so I just take the other one, then they somehow both ended up in the bed I was in, but those two cuddled all night and I just kept my back to them. I was SO FUCKING PISSED AT Austin.

Got up at 8am, still drunk and drove back to Aliso from LAX.

We get back just as my Aunt’s are calling me saying they are there… So Austin meets them for a second and then goes home. We go into my place and I shower and head out for a REALLY long day with them.

I took them up to Top of the World and thankfully it was clear, cause when I was up there Saturday morning it was all cloudy and nasty. They all seemed to enjoy that. They we drove around downtown laguna for a while, then headed up to Newport Via PCH. Took them up through there and then showed them my office since we were driving right past it. There was some girl there with a group of really cute guys and we all took the same elevator, but she couldn’t get her key to work and stuff. It was funny.

After that we drove up to Long Beach and went to the Aquarium of the Pacific which totally isn’t worh the $20 to get into there! Blah.

From there we headed back to Newport to eat lunch and at Hamburder Mary’s. They really liked it, but our waiter was kinda an idiot. After lunch (well, it was like 4). We went off to Newport Pier and walked along the beach for a while. My aunt is crazy and she stopped and asked this guy how much it costs to rent a one of the beach houses in that area. And he said it was $6,000 a WEEK during the summer! How fucking insane is that!

Once they got bored with the beach we came back to my house and they left. I stayed up till like 7:30, but was laying in bed and then finially just couldn’t stay awake any longer… And went to sleep. lol

I’ve got another date with the same guy from last Thursday… tonight. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Well, I’ve written a book, so I’m out.. Adios!

Home DeSHIT!

So last night I started building my Patrol Box. So I went to Home Depot to buy some wood. Of course, I’m a homo, so I don’t really know what wood to get.. My dad always just goes and buys the wood and I build stuff. So I walk in there and start looking around, and I think I find some that will work for what I need, but I just want to double check with someone. So I walk up to the counter in the wood area and ask the guy standing there, “Excuse me, I just have a quick question”

To which he replys, “I’m off” and then walked away. Excuse me bitch! You are STANDING BEHIND THE COUNTER, it’s a quarter to 5, and you are wearing your fucking HD apron. YOU ARE STILL WORKING, you know they don’t have people get off at a quarter to the hour. And even if he really was OFF, or even if he was GETTING off at 5, he could have at least said, “I’ll go find you someone who can help you” Jackass. So I left.

Strange thing, everytime I go to fucking HD or Lowes, my dad always calls me… Very random! I tried asking him if it was the right stuff, but the discription on the thing wasn’t good enough for him to decide for sure.

I went to Lowes then and there was a very nice lady there who said she had no clue either and that she’d find someone who would help, And sure enough she did! So I got my lumber and started cutting it all last night. I have it half done. 😀 Then I’m going to prime it and put it together.

Work yesterday was ok. I’m finishing up all my annoying projects on the SA team before I get too engrossed in the CliOps stuff to get it done. So it was spent with lots of comparing things and updating data and stuff like that.

BTW, I was offered a private office with this promotion, but I’m not sure if I want to take it or not. I’d like the idea of not being stuck in the bull pin anymore, and having the added privacy when talking with clients on the phone. But at the same time, I don’t want to loose the socialness of the cubes. I thikn I’ll just wait and see how things go.

Blake is coming down today to hang out. That’s exciting. We’re going to go and pick out new glasses for me. 🙂

I had my appointment yesterday to get a new priscription. And the lady who did the first half was such a bitch. Like they do this field of vision test and she hands me this thing and is like, “Click this whenever you see one of these boxes.” So they start showing up and I start clicking and then after I do it like 5 times she’s like, “Oh, it’s just warming up, you don’t have to do it now”. The actual doctor lady was really nice and cool. But then I went to pay and since I’m an FB member I’m supposed to get 20% off on the exam, lenses, contacts, and frames. So I go to pay and hand them my FB card and they are like, “This only covers Contacts”. So I try and call the FB HD, but since it was a holiday they were closed. So I have to call them today to figure out what the fuck is up. I’ll be pissed if it really does only cover contacts!

Camping this weekend is still yet undecided as to where to go. I’m thinking Malibu Creek SP or Cuyamaca Rancho SP. I really wanted to hit up Catalina or Channel Islands, but Catalina will cost too much and Channel islands are a little more then what I want to take on right now, since you have to pack EVERYTHING into them.

I think that’s everything I have to talk about, adios!
