It Snowed!!

So it’s been a while again since I last updated.. I’ve been really busy people. Get off my back! 😛

Last Tuesday I met with my boss, it’s for sure, I’m moving to Santa Monica apparently. This week I’ll be traveling with him up there Tuesday and Thursday to check things out, then next weekend I’ll be going up there apartment hunting. Anyone want to come with? This is all dependant on the news tomorrow though. Ugh!

Tuesday night I sat at home and watched Gilmore Girls. That’s like the only night anymore I really have to myself. It’s kinda nice.

Wed night I went out with Joel and Jon. Well we didn’t really go out, just went over to Joel’s place and had dinner and then hung out. Joel managed to get us all in his bed.. He says we had an orgy. I say we just laid there and watched American Idol. Either way it was fun. Straight boy txted me like 100 times that night and tried to get Joel and Jon to have an orgy with him. Haha. Then after I told him I went home, he said he could call someone else to have a threesome with. What striaght boy has a backup threesome boy?! Random. Either Way.

Thursday and Friday were pretty boring. Thursday night I stressed out and bought all the food for the trip, I hung out with someone too, but I can’t remember who? Oh well. They must not have been very fun.

Friday we left for the trip. The trip was lots of fun, but alas as always I get annoyed with people. Sometimes people just don’t get when to shut up. When the driver is stressing out because we made a wrong turn somewhere and we’re going up a VERY steep very holy dirty road, you don’t keep making jokes about stuff that just stresses the driver out more.

And I mean this road was HORRIBLE! Saturday was fun, had a HUGE bon fire Saturday night, and then…..

IT SNOWED ON SUNDAY MORNING!

So yeah, that’s been my weekend. Pics will be posted sometime.

I started moving over my hosting to godaddy.com.. Horribly slow. So I’m going to sign up for somewhere else. Gah, why is this such a pain.

I have three dates this week, I really don’t know why either, since I’ll be leaving soon. #1 is good to talk too, but he’s a drama major or something like that. #2 seems to be the best of the lot and #3, well I dunno really. So well that covers three nights this week, hopefully Wed I can hang out with Joel and Jon again, Tuesday I’m having dinner with Andrew, Friday is some play with Robert and Andrew hopefully, if Robert can get the tickets. And Monday I think I’ll be having lunch with Ryan…

Does anyone else see an issue here? I think I have too much planned.

Adios y’all!

Long Long Week

Ok, so it’s been a long long week, and it’s been a while since I last updated. Sorry normal readers!

Lets see, highlights…

Last Tuesday was good, sushi and all that.

Wed was lots of proof-of-concept work for both the consulting and for my real job. Speaking of, OG and the guys at the office are starting up a consulting business. Very exciting stuff. I’ve already got two potential projects for me. After work I went over to Andrew’s and got the charger for the iPod and hung out for a short bit. Went home, biked for a while and then went out and played tennis with Jon. We both sucked. Me more so. It was good to get one-on-one time hanging out with him. He’s a nice guy. 🙂

Also ran into Ty there, apparently he lives in the apartments RIGHT next to the tennis courts. It was random. After we were done with that we went back to our own places, showered and then met back up at Joel’s place. We all went out to dinner and then hung out the rest of the night.

Thursday, was a long day at work. Meetings in Santa Monica, and driving there and back. Though I did get to drive the boss’ 530i BMW. That was hot! We also went to this place to eat where a freaking salad was $15! Thank god the boss paid! Then meetings later in the day for the consulting stuff, and the boy there was uber hot!. Then packing and all that. Ugh, crazyness. Is this what it felt like to be popular in HS, constantly busy? lol. I left my fucking apartment at 5:30 that morning and didn’t get home till 8pm. Ugh.

There was also LOTS of talk of me moving up to Santa Monica during that meeting and just in general from the VP himself. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Friday was just work and then the flight, LONG fucking day. My Scope for that day said: “For now, writing in your journal or blog could be the best answer.”… 😀

The plane ride on friday was fine. I got moved from seat 33, all the way up to 11 and had the whole row to myself, so that was really nice. we left about 30 minutes late, but got in on time. ORD was a mess though, they were doing all this construction in the baggage claim. I honestly don’t know why I bothered with that. Ugh. Got out of there and went to the Car rental place.

Got there and they were like, “well we’re out of Kia Rio’s so we’ll have to give you a PT Cruiser”. So I was just like, “whatever, i just want a fucking car to go home”. So she pulls it up and it’s a freaking PT Convertable! How fun. I left there and traffic was fine. I drove for like an hour with the top down, but then it got too cold. It was kinda cool, you would really tell when you were going through the cold front, cause it went from 80 in Chicago, down to 50 about an hour outside of ORD, and then a few hours later it went back tup to 66.

Sometime I really need to take a road trip out to Chicago when I’m not in a hurry. There’s so much random stuff along I-80 that I want to take pictures of.. Such as “What Cheer, IA” and The worlds largest truck stop and some other really random stuff.

I was able to talk to people for like the first three hours of the trip. Talked to Andrew for like an hour, and then talked to Robert for like 2 hours. It was pretty entertaining. Finially got into my house at 4am and everyone in the house was up. It was so random. Went to bed and got up at about 8 that morning.

Hung around the house talking to the Parents and playing in the pond and stuff like that. We all went out to lunch and got Sushi then came back to the house. Where I realized I had forgotten a belt and my mom hated the way my shirt fit. So her and I went back out to the Mall and bought two new shirts and a new belt. The boys in the mid-west are so yummy!

Got back home and it was time to head out to see Angel so I drove over to Ankeny and picked her up. We went to chili’s and I SWORE the guy hosting was Adam, it was really creepy. But then once he turned and looked at us, it was clearly not him. But it was still really creepy.

From dinner we went back to my house and waited for everyone else to show up. It ended up being, Vero, Zach, Mandy, Angel, Ginny, Oksana, Nic and this random guy that Ginny brought who was pretty cute, but sadly straight. We all hung out there for a while and then headed downtown. Hung out at the Royal Mile and then hit up The Lift ! Yay for $5 martinis! 😀 Had a really great night. Sadly Jenks couldn’t make it. :'(

At the lift there was this REALLY hot boy in a purple shirt. They kept trying to get me to go talk to him. JJ said that I should go put a dollor down his pants and say, “This is for later when you are stripping for me” haha. As we were leaving Ginny went up to him and gave him my number. He never called. 🙁

Ginny was also wearing the most adorable jacket! I stole it for the night. Pictures will be posted as soon as I get them from her! 😀

OH, I also watched the two episodes of Penn & Teller: Bullshit. That show is GREAT. Everyone should go watch it. Specially the Boy Scout one (Here’s the torrent).. Steven Cozza, I love you!

Got home about midnight and just crashed hard core.

Sunday was easter. It was really good to see everyone there, the best part was my grandma’s face when she saw me get out of the car. 🙂

Left there about 1 and headed out to Chicago. The drive was fine till I got 40 miles from Chicago… When traffic STOPPED. It took 2.5 hours to go 40 miles! I was so stressed out and just started crying in the car. Ugh. I finially got to the hotel, which was very easy to find. It’s so adorable too. There’s wall paper with GIANT blueberries, and a purple wall and I’m on the 12th floor with a pretty good view of the city. There’s also all these cute Haiju’s on all the lit stuff in the room. It’s ADORABLE!

I weighed myself on my mom’s scale, I’m at the lowest I’ve been in like a year, but yet for some reason I feel the fattest I’ve been in a long time. I dunno why!

On the drive here I saw a sign that said “6-6-06 The signs are all around you” and the -‘s were all upside down crosses… it was REALLY wierd!

My scope for Sunday was this: “You are at the very front edge of an intellectual storm that may have your nerves standing up at attention. This is a highly interactive phase and you are mentally up for whatever challenge come your way. You can be clever, even brilliant over the next month, but it will be wasted if you don’t finish what you start.” Kinda creepy.

I had the most random dreams about my job interview on Sunday night. But I slept SO well in this amazing bed! Got up at 8:30 and walked up to the school to see where it was, and then came back to the hotel and got ready for my interview….. I was SOOOOO NERVOUS!

BUT! The interview itself went GREAT! I asked a ton of questions about the place, and what’s going ond all that. You could tell that he was VERY surprised about how old I was. But I think I impressed them anywyas. The interview itself lasted a full 2 hours and we did lunch as well… And oh, the boys at the school… Yum yum! 😀 I guess I’m one of 7 people interviewing for the job, and I’m the ONLY person they offered to fly out! So that must be good news at least.

While we were eating lunch though, I was sitting there and BOTH of my legs cramped up so badly. I wanted to jump up and scream, but I sat there and just smiled… I’m so good like that. haha.

One possible issue though is that the boss man had a picture of the Pope in his office? Random! Also.. There was a nun sitting next to me on the plane. Random again?!

There were TONS of hot boys on the plane too… Made me so horny. :'(

But now that the stress of the interview is gone, I’ve got even more stress of just living and working currently. With the talk of moving to Santa Monica, comes the fact that I’ll have to dress more business casual, instead of street bum, like I currently do. Also comes the stress of moving, friends, etc etc etc. So no matter what happens with the Chicago job, there’s still lots of stress in my life.

Being back in So Cal Is kinda nice though, because at least here it takes more then 2 idiots to cause atraffic problem, and drviing 80 is the norm, instead of this shit about driving the speed limit. But alas, we shall see what all happens.

Prep Work

So I started some prep work in a effort to return to Iowa for a week without having to take it as vacation.

I honestly don’t see why the would have any problem with it here.. I mean all the work I do could be done from a beach in the Bahamas for gods sake!

So I called Krell this morning to see if I could use an office there. I asked for Barb first, but she’s apparently still in DC for another year. 🙁 Then I asked for my favorite person Nazanin. She wasn’t there either, so then I just started listing everyone else. I think the secretary thought I was crazy. Finially I found someone in the office who was there! Lucy! I love Lucy!

Anyways, so I talked to Lucy and she was all “Oh it’d be good to have you back in the office and I’m sure it won’t be a problem, blah blah blah”. So that got me in good moods.

Then I noticed like an hour later that someone from there went to my website.. Oh god!

I start looking through the logs and they did a google search for ‘nazanin cjb’. And found a page where I did a little complaining about her. Though NO WHERE near as badly as I had in other times.

Don’t get me wrong, she’s a nice lady and all, just that she pissed me off sometimes when I was working there.

So anyways. 3 hours later, I get anohter call from Lucy.. I missed it but she left me a voice mail. Her tone was VERY different and you could tell she was just looking for a business way of saying that Nazanin said he didn’t want me there because I bad mouthed her. I have the voice mail in MP3 format, I should just post it so you can all hear. 🙂 lol.

So yeah, Krell is out for office space, hopefully Bennett will say it’s ok to use NPHS. He likes me and I’ve never bad mouthed him.

I’ve been trying to get ahold of my mother all fucking morning. I’ve called her like 20 times, the damn woman is HORRIBLE at answering her phone!

Anyways and JP is up in Santa Monica today and will be busy in meetings all day tomorrow, so it won’t be this week that I’ll be coming home… If it happens at all. :'(

God I just need to get there for a little while to become sane again!

I talked to that Jon fellow this morning, the guy I met a Boom… Come to find out he’s an IT person as well, and we had a good convo. He’s apparently going up to Mammoth with Joel and Ryan this weekend. That sounds like so much fun. I’ve been wanting to go up there!

Adios!

Ginny’s Here!!

YAY!

OMG, Ginny is here! I’m so happy and excited! 😀

So… Yesterday was very dramatic. I got up from Austin’s about 10 and the first thing he said was asking if the guy he made out with was hot or not. Very annoying.

So I left there and came home. Sat around and cleaned and did other random stuff.

Called him at like 1 to find out if he was going or not, and he said that he wasn’t in the mood to anymore. So I got really pissed at him for constantly cancelling things on me. And basically told him that things were over with and I didn’t want to be friends with him anymore.

I hung up on him.. He called back and said he didn’t want that, that he wanted to be friends with me and he talked me into letting him go again. Honestly I would have been way more pissed if he hadn’t come with.

So we made plans to meet at my place at 6. I went to bed and napped from 3-5:30 and then at 6 he calls and says, “So what time are we meeting?”

OMG! He’s done this so many times before. I was so fucking pissed! Gah, so I yelled at him some more and then he said he’d be here by 7. He shows up and we drive up to LA.

Big fights in the car, but I think a lot got out. He promised to be more understanding of my feelings and stuff. So I guess that was good.

Got to LA and I was so happy to see ginny finially! So we get her and go out to dinner in Santa Monica. We had a really good time. I was happy about that.

Then from there it was off to The Abbey. Got there and the place was SO FuCKING packed! It was crazy. But we all had fun. So that’s what matters. 😀

Went back to the hotel about 1 and hung out. Austin and I had a really good talk in bed. I was happy that he opened up to me like that… He said that he was sad and that he didn’t feel good about himself. We talked till ike 3:30 in the morning and stuff. And then cuddled all night.

I just wish he would admit that he’s got something for me, more then just friends. I know it’s there.

He asked me in during the talk, he said.. “Don’t ever leave me please.” I dunno what to think about that….

This is why I don’t want to just up and give up on him though. When we’re having a good time, we have an amazing time together. It’s just so great.

Gah. So yeah

Today then we got back to my place and I showered quick like and then we went off to Laguna Beach and then Newport Beach.. Then I showed them Orange. So yeah. It was fun, but I feel a bit boring all at the same time. I dunno, for me it’s just not as exciting any more cause I live here so I’m not a good judge of what’s going on there. But I’m sure they had fun! 😀

I’m glad she’s here, sanity! It’s great. 🙂

Adios y’all!

Edit:// I forgot to mention that Austin says he went out test driving a car on Saturday… he SAYS it was with his brother, but I really think he went out with JR, mainly because he wouldn’t tell me I had to drag it out of him.

First Session…

Ok, well I had my first session today. The guy was really nice.

I walked into his office and was attacked by this tiny little mut dog thing. It was cute, but kept trying to lick me and stuff when I was filling out the paper work. Which is annoying.

After getting all the insurance figured out, which was a pain in the ass. We got started. Like I said, he was really nice, but I felt that he spent a little too much time talking about things that didn’t matter. I would have rather just gone in on the first day and told him what I wanted to tell him about everything. Like the story of WHY I’m coming back in and all that. But Alas, I’m sure he got enough information.

I find it strange though that the sessions here are only 45 minutes. But I guess it also makes sense. So whatever. He said that he wants me to go to group therapy. I’m not sure how I feel about that. He offered me two different ons, I took the one that had the smaller group. So yeah. We’ll see how that goes. Gah.

He also suggested that I start drugs again.. But I told him that I’ve been on pretty much all of them over the years and I never really felt any change for the good. So then he suggested this other things called a Alpha-Stim. I dunno how I feel about that though! Seems very strange and like something you would see on a late night infomercial.

He also gave me homework to do! OMG! So I ordered the book today and will hopefully get it by next week… I’ve got another appointment with him on Tuesday though, which I’m sure I won’t have the book by then, but whatever.

I ignored Austin last night and this morning. Well, ok. When he got off he talked to me on AIm for like 10 seconds and when I started asking about his day he was like. “I’m to tired to talk about it”. So I just said “whatever, bye”. But yet he was still online for like 2 more hours.. One can only assume he was talking to people during those two hours, so why was he “too tired” to talk to me about how his day was. Whatever. He IMed me again at like 9:00 that night, but I ignored him then, and then he IMed me again this morning at like 8. Ignored him again. He finially called me at like 10 to see where I was at/etc. But I just told him I was in the doctors and would talk to him later. He called me back at like 11:30 to see why I was at the docs and I talked to him for like 10 minutes.

Ugh, I was talking to my friend Robert last night online. He’s hung out with both Austin and I a lot. He agrees with me that if Austin changed just a little, and wasn’t so needy that things would work out and tha we’d be a cute couple… I think part of the problem is that I expect way too much out of people, specially Austin since I liked him so much, that it just causes fights, etc.

Either way, I’m going to continue with mostly ignoring him for the rest of the week. I AM however going to invite him to come up with me to get Ginny from LA, as my plan for now is to go get her and Carl from LA and then go to Santa Monica for dinner and then maybe The Abbey after. I think it’d be good, cause Ginny can play the Bitch protector friend card, and hopefully see what the fuck is going on… (You’d do that right, Ginny?) lol. Plus I really want to go back to The Abbey, as it was lots of fun!

The rest of the time that Ginny is here isn’t very well planned and it’s kinda freaking me out. I don’t wanna be sitting around once they get here trying to think of things to do. I was thinking Luckys on Sunday night if they wanna go out both nights. But the days are completely empty. She said she wanted to spend some time at the beach, but it looks like it’s going to be too cold to do much more then go and look at it and leave. (Mid-60’s is the forecast)… Either way. It’s going to be fun hanging out with her!

Robert’s birthday is this Friday too.. I want to do something nice for him like he did for me, but I don’t really want to go out with his boyfriend, who I don’t really care for. So I’m not sure what I’ll do for him yet. Perhaps I can lure him away for a dinner or something, maybe lunch on Saturday.

Not much else going on here… Did I mention the hookup boy hasn’t responded to me? Not a big surprise, oh well. When I told Robert about it, he was so SHOCKED, it was hilarious. He forced me to show him the boys Myspace and then proceded to add him as a friend. It’s so funny… Honestly, I’m still in shock!

Anyways, that’s about it… Adios!
