It’s not exactly what I wanted to do, but after the worst new years of my life. I’m not in the mood to finish it up. So all you’re getting is a picture show.

Chiba’s Date
So the last two days have been pretty damn good. I honestly am having troubles remembering it all cause there was so much to write about!
So lets see. Tuesday I got home from my bike ride and was online talking to Chiba. He suggested I come and stay the night and then hang out all day Wed. I have two sick days that I need to use up or lose, so I decided to go for it. He was heading out to dinner with his friends and said to meet him there at 9:30.
I leave my place at 8:50, and txt message him that I’m on my way… Get to his place at 9:32 and call him. He’s STILL at the resturant. “Just leaving”. I said I’ll wait. I wait 30 minutes, still not there. I txt him that I’m leaving in 5 minutes if I don’t hear from him. He calls and says that he’s sorry he got tied up talking to this teacher person he was at dinner with and that he’s on his way. He didn’t get there till 10:30 and I was pretty damn pissed.
So we headed out to Falcon’s Lair in LA. Talk about Hollywood, this place was the epitome of Hollywood. Perfect boys, perfect hair, perfect everything. I felt so out of place. Thankfully I had borrowed a jacket from Chiba, so I looked semi-cute. Throughout the night people kept pointing at me and talking though. Very strange.
We met and chatted with a few people there and that was cool. We also saw Allison Janney there and sat on the couch across from her for a while. I was very excited. We left there at nearly 2 and went to Ralphs and went grocery shopping. That was cute.
Drove back to his house and we were up till 5am talking and making out. I also introduced him to EggNog. He liked it!
Wed we got up about 11ish and hung around his house, ate lunch, talked some more, etc. Headed out to PCC so that he could register for classes and that was an absolute mess. AND I got a freaking parking ticket! UGH! $25 that I really don’t have right now.
Anyways, I got a little annoyed that we wasted the whole day doing that, but it’s understandable that he needed to get it done. Shiela and Beak called in there too and it was very confusing because everyone kept going on and on in the background and I was trying to drive and get directions all at the same time.
So we got done with that and then headed out on the date that I had planned. Got up to Griffith just in time for the last bus, so that was good. Thank god we were on time for something!
Griffith Observatory was GREAT! As always you can see the pictures on the photodump. We just walked around and saw all the exhibits and did the planatarium show and all that. The sunset over LA was amazing. The Smog was great too! 🙂
From there we headed out to Zencu Sushi in Little Tokyo. It was a nice area and the food was great. So that’s good.
Drove back to his house and dropped him off. He seemed to really enjoy the night. So that’s what I was really looking for!
This Germany guy comes today though. Which I’m really annoyed about. I guess they are going to be going places. He says so far they have only planned Santa Barbara, and that this guy has already said that they are going to be hanging out every minute that Chiba is not working! Very annoying. We shall see if I get to see him over the next 3 weeks then.
On the way home I took the 710S. I get to the 105, which is one of the exits I can take, it’s closed. No big deal. I usually take the 91 to the 110 as it gets me closer to my house. So I keep going, the 91 is closed!!! What! And with NO warning. You get up to the exit and it’s just closed off! So I think, not a problem, the 405 is just 2 more miles, I can go 405N to the 110S and it’s only about 6 miles out of the way… So I keep going, 405….. CLOSED!
WHO fucking closes EVERY MAJOR freeway interchange off of another freeway!? WHO!? So I ended up having to go ALL THE WAY to Long Beach, about 30 minutes out of the way and then back trace up PCH.. So fucking annoying, and there was NO WARNING. If there had been a warning I could have taken Rosecrans or one of the other small streets off the 710 over to the 405. UGH!
I got home about 10:30 and just crashed. Got up this morning, got into work and was reading through my e-mail for the last two days…. I have an e-mail from my landlord again.. “Have not received the rent per out last conversation due on the first.”
EXCUSE ME!? You GOT IT 2 WEEKS EARLY, on FUCKING NOVEMBER 20th! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH! So I e-mail him back the jpg copies of the cashed check that my bank puts online. We’ll see what this mother fucker has to say about that. DUMB FUCKING SHIT HEAD. WHat the fuck is wrong with him. And in our previous conversations, he NEVER said ANYTHING about not recieving any rent. Just that he got it on NOVEMBER 20th! DUMB MOTHER FUCKER.
I feel like I’m forgetting something. Oh well. Adios!
Compensation…
Ok, another really long and busy weekend!
Lets see…. Friday I went out to dinner with Hector and like 8 of his girls. Very awk at times, but it was fun. It snowed at The Grove which was cute! I loved it. He was very nice, but honestly I hated the girls we were with. I also felt a bit left out at times cause they kept talking about school work and all this stuff that was just so 2 years ago for me! haha. Hopefully he and I can hang out again soon though. Chiba was mad at me for going out though. 🙁
Guerrilla Gay Bar was TONS of fun that night though, the place was SO PACKED that you couldn’t move at all. But it was still great. The crowd was Sooooo different then the typical WeHo group, so that was really nice. Just wish I had talked to more of the people there.
Left about midnight because I was tired, from being up since 3:30am, and plus it was just getting tooo crowded in there. Called Chiba and we talked for a bit. Got home and just crashed.
Got up at 6am Saturday and did a couple hours of work. Went off and did laundry. I always stop at Albertson’s on my way to buy some quarters, the same one that I buy ALL my groceries from. I always get two rolls, never had ANY problem before geting these. I buy a bagel, a thing of milk and get $20 in quarters. This time, i’m told they can only give me ONE roll, it’s always been this way. They never give out more then one roll. Very annoying. So I go across the street to Wells Fargo and since I’m not a fucking customer there they CHARGE me $2 to buy a fucking roll of quarters! EXCUSE ME!? WTF! Fuckers. Yet another reason why I hate banks! Sadly today I have to go to one to talk about a home loan!
So anyways, I go and do my laundry, come home and put the laundry down and then get side tracked with about 10 other projects. First I finished the clock, then I cleaned out my closets and then I cleaned my apartment and did some other stuff and then finially got around to putting the laundry away. Did I mention that I SMASHED my finger in there too?? Ouch!
By the time I was done with all this it was late, so I loaded my bike in the car and went to bed.
Sunday I got up, and went biking. Long ass ride, froze my ass off. But it was good to get back out there, we went up and over Sepulveda into the valley again. Went to the gym after and showered and then headed over to Chiba’s for lunch. I got there and he tells me that he’s already had lunch, but he told me he hadn’t so that I would come. lol. What a strange one. So we went out to lunch and then went and got him ice cream. I stayed for awhile and we talked.. Apparently this guy he dated back in the summer is coming to visit him (from Germany) for a couple weeks over christmas/new years… And he wanted to see how I felt about it… Honstly. I’m a bit annoyed, but on the account that this has been in plans since long before I met him, and the fact that we’re not exclusively seeing each other I suppose it’s fine. But since he will be AT his apartment the whole time, that A) means they will probably be fucking, B) means that I won’t have any time to see him. Just a bit annoying. Not that he and I are fucking currently anyways. Ok. I’m clearly not getting my point across.
Do you all remember the post a while back where I put the picture of the car that was totally smashed when it was parked on Pacific Cost Highway… Anyways. While I was driving to the bike ride I saw one MUCH worse… Someone had rear ended an SUV that was parked along Hawthorne, pushed that car into the car infront of it, and then pshed that car into the car infront of IT and pushed that one into the one infront of IT! So there were a total of 5 cars in the accident, only one of them had a driver! The first SUV was basicallyl FLAT. Whoever did that had to have been FLYING down hawthorne blvd.
As many of you know, I’ve been taking on any extra jobs I can get… So I’ve been looking on Craigslist mostly. It amazes me what these people are offering to pay for things. Some of it very complicated stuff that they are like. “$10/hr” or something as equally horrible! I really just want to reply to all these idiots and tell them they aren’t going to get someone _good_ to do it for that cheap!
Anyways. I’m off now to call some realtors and the like.
Adios!
PS.. I thought this was cute:
Ohh. The days of AOL..
Oh, how I remember the days of AOL chat rooms:
How’s everyone like the new Theme? Still some work to do on it. I’m thinking of adding another layer/color to under each post.
The clock is coming along amazingly! I have the hour sections done now. One of the three boards is completely done, the second is nearly done and should be completed by tonight. The last one only requires a few more things to be 50% done. I’m Soooo happy with the way it’s coming out now. I’ll probably spend part of saturday trying to come up with a way to mount the boards so they aren’t just flopping all over the place. I’ve got pictures and video that I’ll post when it’s all done!
I’m trying to get a group of people together to go out tonight, the group that I mentioned in the last post is taking over a bar at the Grove, it sounds like tons of fun! But not having very good luck with it. Perhaps I’ll just spend another lonely night home alone with the cats.
Speaking of, this weekend marks my 2 year anniversary with the kitties. At least something in my life lasts!
Talked to my dad today, I’ve got to make an appointment with a realtor while I am back in Iowa. Probably the 21st, I’ve been finding some really good looking places in WDM, Waukee, etc. So yeah, we’ll be looking at those.
I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to figure out management situations. I figure I can do the management from here, and just hire someone when I need a movein/out situation. But I’m not sure. That means that I’d still be on for any emergencies, etc. So I started looking into full time PMs today, 10% cut for most of them, plus expenses. We’ll see what comes of it. I did a google search for “pre-approved loans” and the first site that came up with Jay’s company. Wouldn’t it be funny if I applied and got him as my guy. lol. Not really, but whatever.
I went biking yesterday. Did a good 35 miles up past Mothers Beach and back. It’s a good thing I bought arm warmers the other day, as they came in very handy. It was 56 by the time I got home.
Haven’t heard from Chiba since Wed… I called him yesterday and txted him but no reply as of yet. Wondering if this is another disappearing boy case. I can’t even keep onto the ones that I’m not 100% into, but at least like enough to see where it goes! UGH! Perhaps he’ll call later.
OH! One of the guys that we ran into last Friday at The Abbey finially contacted me again. That was a wierd conversation. But at least I know he doesn’t hate me! haha.
Ok, adios!
World AIDS Day…
Hey Everyone, it’s World AIDS Day, a great time to go and donate to the cause and Support ME! For LifeCycle! Thanks to those who have already donated in support!
In other news, today is a day of links and such….
My Aunt, the M&M Lady!. I came across this the other day.
Hung out with this really cute Brazilian boy, Michael, he was nice. We’ll see if we hang out again. Not really my type, at least I don’t think. But he was nice and cool to hang out with. He just started learning English a year ago, so it was hard to understand him at times, but he knows three other languages, which is cool. Based on Austin’s book though, I need to stop disgrading people after only one date/hangout. lol
Keep on Walking!. I hate showing my reciept to Costco, etc. So do what this guy does, just keep on walking!
One picture every day spoof:
Ok, this is SWEET:
I want one in my house!
