RoadTrip! (EDITED!!! Now with Pics)

Edit:// Pics from this weekend here.

So I did probably one of the most spontaneous things I’ve ever done this weekend. I invited a guy I had never met before out to go hiking out in the palm springs area (Up the tram).

But, anyways. Back to where we last left out…. Anyways, Friday was a boring ass day at work. I had some minor things to do, nothing exciting. Things were going slow at work for some reason, damn network issues or something like that. Not sure, anyways, I got NOTHING done because of that. I left early again so that Iw ouldn’t miss my packages, but they ended up not getting there till 5 anyways. So I did my bike ride and all that anyways. And did some more work at home.

The damn cat just threw up AGAIN! This time that bitch is NOT going to the fucking vet.

Anyways, I hung out with Robert on friday night, we watched this movie called ‘Everyone’. Horrible MOVIE! Though there was one hot boy and one boy we couldn’t decide if he was hot or not. lol. But I couldn’t be brought to turn it off because I wanted to know how it ended! lol.

After the movie we talked for a while and then he left. Saturday I got up and couldn’t bring myself to do my laundry cause I was too lazy. I just wanted to get out. So I went on my bike ride. On the way out though I saw these two women and a bunch of kids in scout uniforms, so I went up to them and introduced myself and got a phone number of a local scout troop that could use some help. So I gotta call that guy.

Did my bike ride and went a lot further back there I usually do, it gets really pretty. Came home and showered and talked to this guy Austin for a while online, then he said he was going to go shower, so I went to best buy because I somehow ended up with two DVD’s of Star Wars I, so I traded one in for a III. 🙂

One the way there and back though I just thought that I had to get out of the OC for a day and get to the country… So I decided to go up to the Mount out by Palm Springs. I had told Austin that I wanted to hang out too, so when I got back I invited him and to my surprise he said he would go!

So I called my aunt and uncle to let them know I’d be in the area and they asked that we stop by when we were done and do dinner with them at the Club, which meant we had to bring some nice clothes.

Austin got here at 1, and we went up to subway, grabbed a quick bit to eat, and then headed out. While we were talking though at Subway we found out that we both know someone from Iowa! It’s very random!

We headed out to Palm Springs and made really good time, got up to the top of the tram and walked around for about 2 hours. Got some great pics, which I’ll hopefully get up on the photodump soon. We had a really good time, he was very nice and we had a lot to talk about. And have a lot of the same ideals about people inthe OC. It was pretty funny.

After that we headed over to my aunt and uncles house and changed then we went to the Club house. Of course you HAVE to have a drink there, so I got an apple martini! Yum yum… And then… Well I had another. lol.

And then.. I had a glass of wine. Needless to say, there was NO way we were driving home that night. So we stayed at thier house. I have to say, I didn’t get shit for sleep last night. 🙁 But it was nice to have someone to lay next to in bed. He also gave me a really nice back rub. 🙂

So we got up this morning, ate breakfast and then drove back to the OC. Hung out here a bit while we downloaded the pics and got them sent to him at his house, and then he went home.

… So, in short, I had a really good weekend and hopefully Austin and I will become some good friends. Time will tell. Seems we might be going camping sometime.

Speaking of which though, I’m not sure if I mentioned this or not, but my on call week was changed from my birthday weekend to the weekend before. So I think I’m going to be going camping the weekend of my birthday. I WAS thinking channel islands, but that seems like too much work for camping by myself, since you have to pack everything in. So now I’m thinknig Anzo.

Yep, and that’s been my weekend!

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!

Diagram

Remember that diagram that I posted a while back about how the design process of a program works?

Well that’s exactly HOW I feel right now!

I’ve been getting third party information about how to write something and, well I just talked to the person who’s getting the end product and the way it was explained to me, is NOTHING like the way they want the damn thing!

Grrr.

I did some fun stuff today, wordpress install for Blake, photodump for myself (which I’ll link to when I get home), awstats updates for all my sites and an interface for them so I don’t forget all the links, dns for this site at DynDNS, and some other cleaning up business that I’ve been meaning to do.

Now I just have to figure out how to get mail forwarding working to a different port then 25 and all will be good. 🙂

Adios!

My ID!!!

Ok, so… Last night was great, after the initial problems!

So I get home at like 1:30 or so, go on my bike ride, come back and hang around talking to Blake for a while online. Then I go and shower and get dressed to go. Get a nice coat and shirt and put them in my car, so that they don’t get too wrinkled on the drive there. Make sure I have my camera, and my cell phone, some cough drops, altoids, and some cash to pay for parking.

Go out to my car and think… “I should get some water for the drive there cause traffic is going to be hellish”. So I go back in and get a bottle of water and then leave.

Traffic was hellish, 45 minutes to get there in stop and go traffic, all the fucking way. Blah! Get there and get out of my car, put on my shirt and grab my jacket. Go up to the window to get the tickets and she says. “I need to see a photo ID”. So I grab for my wallet… GONE!

So then I look in all my other pockets, I NEVER forget my wallet, it goes with me everywhere!

So I think maybe I left it in my car. So I run back to my car.. NOT THERE!.

So I start thinking about it, and I realize i never got it out of my pants that I wore to work. !!! OMG! I can’t believe it, It would have taken me an hour and a half at LEAST to get back home and back there, and south bound traffic was WORSE then the north bound! That means I would have missed cocktail hour AND the first course of dinner! So I txted OG to find out how far away he was to see if maybe he could just vouch for who I was.

However, MH got there first and we tried that, but the bitch wouldn’t buy it. That place is like nazis! So I called Jon, no answer, then I called Jeff, and he says that he can talk to the people at Club 33 and have them call the front desk and they can change it so that MH can have a guest and yeah. So like 40 minutes after I got there I was finially let into the damn park! It was crazyness.

So we get there and the party was lots of fun. GT mentioned that they had it at the Magic Castle 4 years ago, I voted we do it there next year too. lol. They had a magician there this year, but he NEVER came to the table I was at, very annoying! GT also said that he made $1,000 an HOUR! Clearly I’m in the wrong business! lol.

The food was amazing, the desserts were HEAVEN! And the drinks didn’t flow enough. lol. Though I did get pretty buzzed. I left there about 10:30 and got home at 11. Couldn’t get to sleep though and was up till midnight and then woke up again at 4:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I’ve been up since then. Blah!

I was a bit sad that I didn’t have anyone with me though. EVERYONE had a girlfriend or wife or something. The running joke was that MH and I were dates since he had to add me as a guest. lol. I really wish that Blake could have come… Well I wish more that I had an official boyfriend I could have taken!

No one’s in the office yet, did I miss a memo?

Something funny:

Accountant on speaker: Okay, I tried entering my password and it didn’t work.

Tech: I reset it to “password.”

Accountant on speaker: Okay, let me try my password again.

Tech: Make sure you type “password.”

Accountant on speaker: It didn’t work again.

Tech: Iou typed far too many letters for the word “password.” Did you type in “password” as your password?

Accountant on speaker: Yu never told me to do that.

Tech: So what part of my sentance confused you: “Type in the word

‘password’ when it asks you for your password”, or “I reset it for you, your password is now ‘password.'”

Accountant on speaker: I have a CPA, don’t talk to me like that.

Tech: I can make up acronyms too. I’ll be in your office in five

minutes. In the meantime, ponder this one: I’m OMGWTF certified.

Holidays are a comin’

Well, one week exactly till T-day. Blah! I’m already getting very depressed about it because I’m going to be spending the whole four day weekend alone. I haven’t decided yet if I want to actually go to all the work of cooking shit for myself or just be boring and not do anything.

Yesterday was an alright day, we had a 2 hour meeting which was nice cause it wasted my day. lol. Other then that I spent the day investigating sites that no one knew about… Finding out where they are located, why they were created, when they were last used, so on and so forth. Very boring shit

I was listening to a pod cast the other day and they mentioned this band: Steadman I downloaded all the music they have on the website (like 150 songs) and I’m really enjoying it. I’m listening to “Live in There” which is a live set 44 minutes long. I just heard a song that I really love by them, but they sadly didn’t mention what the name was! I hate that. Damnit. Anyways.

I went to bed about 6:30 last night because I was so damn tired. I dunno what’s wrong with me. Blah!

Back to the topic of holidays, I’ve been contemplating how much I want to decorate for Christmas. I really don’t feel like putting all the energy into it because there will be no one there to share it with, but at the same time I’m thinking it might help make me happier. Who knows.

I’m out.

Edit:// I meant to post this too: Very funny.. Thanks Blake.
