Flight Home

Oh god, 11.5 hours in ONE flight, is death. I hate it… They keep replaying the SAME movies over and over again and they are all stupid. We only have 1.5 horus left. Thank god! I’d have to say that leaving Berlin was sad. However, I’m excited to get home. I want to crash, and yet… I want to do a lot of other stuff, bake a pie, a turkey, some mashed potatos… SHIT, the stores are all going to be closed! I have no fooood at home! Damnit… Still debating about a bike ride this weekend or not. I do have a date though!

There’s three HOT boys within viewing distance of me.. OMG, yum! Also some really gay guy keeps walking by me and smiling. He’s kinda cute…

Ok, adios all.

PS. Pictures are up on the photodump.

Berlin – Day #3

Well today was really fun, but lets go back to last night. So I took a nap, and went out to the pub crawl.. Not a good time, at least not for me. First, it was raining. I got all dressed up cute, green shirt, white long sleeve under shirt, Gsus Jacket, very adorable. Walked over to the station and paid my $10, hung out there, got force handed a beer. Everyone was standing outside in the rain though, for some reason we couldn’t go into the bar even though it was open! James (the cute boy from San Lius Obispo, CA) was there, I said HI to him, but he basically ignored me. Everyone was with the group they came with and I was just there all alone. So after like 30 minutes of just standing in the rain, not talking to anyone or what not, I went down one door to this really nive building that said it had doctors in it, and stood on the stoop out of the rain.. Well after a couple minutes these two girls came out, wearing VERY slutty clothes, with corsets on the OUTSIDE of their clothes… Strange outfit I thought, but whatever… Then over the next like 20 minutes 10 more girls all came out in the same VERY slutty clothes. So now I’m like… “I wonder if this is a brothel!”… Sure enough, about 15 minutes later one of the first girls that went out came back with a guy in tow… Then another girl. I left after that. Total waste of my $10.. I hate that it happened like that. I reallyw anted to have a good time too. :'(

Today we got up and had breakfast. Then went over to Potsdam, everything was of course closed, but we did find the “New Palace”…. Which is GUEST quarters, was open to tours. This place is HUGE and amazing! OMG! I could not believe it. Andrew would have loved it with all the art they had. We got lost in Potsdam though but found some cool areas, and also found a place where they were digging up stuff. So that was really cool!

Came back here about 5ish, came back to the hostel and hung out for a little bit. Then we went back to the Riechstag and climbed up to the top. It was really neat up there and you could get a great view of the city! From there we came back to the hostel and are just hanging out, planning tomorrow.

I’m having a great time with Angel. Amazingly we haven’t fought yet! But it’s VERY annoying how slow she walks. There’s so much I want to cover and so much I want to go out and explore, but I can’t cuase she’s tired and she hurts. I’m tired, I hurt, but I want to explore this amazing city more then the few blocks surrounding our hostel! I want to go to Kurfurstendamn and check it out, I want to go the Pink District and check it out. I want to go out at night and sit at a cafe and just chill. But I can’t because I don’t want to leave her here alone! Ugh.

Let me say it again though. I’m having an AMAZING time! So excited to be here. It’s GREAT!

We’ve been listening to Christmas carols all day and I’m SO excited for christmas! 🙂 I can’t wait! I’m also REALLY loving this whole bundle up thing. OMG, the scarves, the coats, the sweaters. SO ADORABLE! You have to go look at the pictures!

I also realized today that I am flying NONSTOP from London to LA… someone SHOOT me!

Ok, shower time for me. I stink! I’m gonna try jacking off in there tooooo.

Dr. Laura and Politics!

I know I’ve talked about Dr. Laura here before. But lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Talk Radio . It seems like I’m always in the car when she’s on. I like some of her advice, but some of it is just OVER THE TOP.

For example, this guy called in today and was asking her which of two jobs to take. Job 1, he works late (9pm) 6 days a week. But he’s home every night, sees his kids every morning, etc. Job 2, pays more, but he travels 5 days a week. Thus he doesn’t see his kids at all for those 5 days, but it means he gets 2-3 days off in a row (depending how his travel schedule works out). First.. Dr Laura seems enraged that he would EVEN consider taking a job in which he’s not home for dinner! How DARE he want to provide for his family by taking a job that he needs! WAKE UP Dr Laura, not EVERYONE can get a cushy 9-5 job. Some people have to work odd or off hours to be able to provide for thier family. At least he’s WORKING and doing something… But honestly, someone who needs to call into a radio show to be told which job to take is just an idiot anyways.

Another example, this guy called in. His wife wants him to THROW away everything from his previous relationships. Including his pictures, keep sakes, etc. This is just stupid. if the woman isn’t comfortable letting him keep things from his past, then she clearly has trust issues and needs to get over those before they get married. If anyone EVER asked me to get rid of the stuff I have from Adam, Andrew or anyone else I would be PISSED. Ugh. It was just annoying.

Last example, I swear! 🙂 A woman called in. She’d been dating this guy for 1 and a half years. Been married for a year and a half. So 3 years together total. The guy cheated on her. Dr. Laura acted like it was HER FAULT that he cheated on her! HER FAULT. Excuse me? It’s the GUYS fault that he cheated!

I disapprove of most of her advise.

I’m also really annoyed that SOO much media time is being spend on this damn priest scandal. (They should call it priestgate! hahah) Who cares what he did. Just investigate and get over it. There’s a lot more interesting news going on that SHOULD be reported at this time with elections so damn close!

And lastly. Watched the Colbert Report, and he intervied this guy who is a republican running for senate in Beverly Hills.. (David Nelson Jones) when they first showed him, I could have SWORN it was that guy, the one we dislike, from Santa Monica.. You know his name! 🙂 Fuck he’s HOT though!

Time Warner Cable SUCKS!

So, I wrote about this a while ago. How Time Warner Cable bought out Adelphia and sent a letter, that contained NO INFORMATION. Well I was right, it was an indication of things to come. They’ve increased my bill by $20 a month and service has gotten worse!

I really don’t understand how this could possibly be. They’ve taken over in paper, so what have they changed already on the back end to cause this? I can’t sit down now and watch tv for more then 30 minutes without the picture or sound going out for anywhere between 5 seconds and whole minute! This is insane. The signal goes out nearly EVERYTIME I watch any TV!

The plans for Germany are coming along! I will post an preliminary Itinerary soon. But if you have any suggestions, post them below! We are staying in (formerly East) Berlin and taking a side trip to Potsdam! 🙂 We’ve been speaking with our hostel owner and he’s very friendly and has provided us with some nice information, so that’s good.

I spent my weekend being pretty pissed off and alone. Friday was a HORRIBLE day, I’m not really sure what it was. But I was just pissy! Perhaps it was the late night the day before. Anyways, I didn’t go to dinner with Robert like planned, and just came home and crashed. Saturday I got up at 7am, drove to Santa Monica for the 30 mile bike ride only to find out it was cancelled because of the 60% chance of rain! Bah, so this one other guy and I went off and did it anyways. Got home, called my dad and talked to him and then spent the day watching QaF.

Sunday I was going to go on another bike ride in Santa Monica, but it _looked_ rainy, so I didn’t go. But since I Was up anyways I went off to the gym. Worked out hard core and am VERY sore now! ::ouch:: I then baked a Pumpkin Pie and then did a short bike ride. I also watched more QaF. It got me excited for the cold, so that I can bundle up and be cute! 🙂

For the first time in my life I maxed out a credit card too. Opps. 🙂 Not that I can’t pay it off, but it’s 0% interest till June of ’07. So why not! 🙂 Once I pay down half of it though, I’m going to go out and buy some living room/bedroom furniture. I’m really sick of my bed being on the ground like I’m a poor college student. And my cats of been attacking the couch lately, so it’s getting torn up.

[private]I sent in my first invoice for the new contract job. I honestly feel bad charging him this much. I don’t think he’s expecting it! I talked to the guy who did the site originally and I’m charing him more for the first 2 weeks then he has the whole year he’s been doing it! But alas, I didn’t even charge him for ACTUAL hours, or as stricktly as most contractors would! I just hope that he doesn’t freak out and say he can’t afford it now! I’m kinda counting on having this income to pay off that maxed out credit card! I did however stay well under what we had agreed was the maximum number of chargable hours inside a billing period. So that’s good. [/private]

Ok, I’m out!

Sunken City, Germany & LifeCycle – UPDATED!

UPDATE: Photos are now online… AND Go check out my LifeCycle Page. And be sure to DONATE! 🙂

Well it’s official! I am going to GERMANY! I leave on Nov 17th and return Nov 23rd. Should be a GREAT trip! I can’t wait. Going to go hit up a book store this afternoon to buy a travel guide. I think that Jason is a bit pissed about it though. But he hasn’t been expressing any interest in it, has been completely uncooperative in my attempts to plan with him and just keeps putting things off, so I decided to just book with the person I knew could come and if he can fit it in then great! The more the marrier. But I wasn’t going to wait around while he ponders back and forth about it without giving any real answers.

I also had a meeting last night for LifeCycle and I am now officially signed up! The people there were VERY friendly and so nice, so yeah. Plus it was $20 off the registration. YAY! So be looking for me to hit you up for money SOON! I have to raise $2,500!!! 🙂

After that I had a meeting with this other guy about webstuff. It was a bit entertaining when he admitted he was gay as well. I kinda had a vibe, but wasn’t sure. And no, this was not one of the many dates, this guy has a bf and is older then I. It was strickly a business meeting. Ohhh, I had amazing Pumpkin pie while there! I highly suggest going to this place: Susina Bakery. 7122 Beverly Blvd (Cross Street: La Brea Avenue) Los Angeles, CA. Amazing food! And they had Coffee Marshmallows! It’s rated one of the top 10 bakeries in LA. If only I lived closer!

I didn’t get home till 10 and then worked till shortly after midnight. Got up this morning and am working till 7pm in NB. Gooood times y’all!

Check out Wikimapia.

Oh, Wed I went to this place called Sunken City in San Pedro with this guy Eric, he was cute and nice. I haven’t heard from him since or seen him online. I assume that’s a go no. lol. Pictures will be up on the photodump by the end of the night.

I’ve been pretty busy with other things this week, but I just can’t remember what. Sadly I’ve only made it to the gym and the bike trail once this week… Saturday I’m going on a 30-miler with this group from Santa Monica, so that should be good. I was thinking about doing one Sunday as well, but I’m not sure I want to get up at 7am both days of my weekend! Plus I have another business meeting on Sunday. Weeeee

Adios!
