Random Wednesday Whatnots…

First some color quiz that I found at a random journal. I think I took this one years ago on Livejournal.

Your Existing Situation
Under considerable stress due to the demands of the existing situation. Trying to extricate himself from the things which restrict him or tie him down.
Your Stress Sources
Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that he has a right to anything he might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against him. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees himself as a ‘victim’ who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince himself that his failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no one to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Able to obtain physical satisfaction from sexual activity but tends to hold aloof emotionally.
Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.
Your Actual Problem
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.
Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects him to agitation and acute distress. Tries to escape from this by relinquishing the struggle, and by finding peaceful and restful conditions in which to recuperate in an atmosphere of affection and security.

Not going to talk about how scary accurate it is…
Anyway, guys are quickly tearing down the wall here. I am confident that I will be able to go home, shower, and meet Angie to go and see The matrix tonight. yay me

A real update of sorts…

It feels like forever since I’ve updated for some reason…
I think I mentioned Paul’s party on Saturday. Should have brought the camera for some pics. Amber W. took some, but I’m not sure if she knows how to download the pictures off of her camera. It was a good party and I hit the alcohol kinda hard. More like I didn’t eat anything. Still, it was good to talk to Amber about stuff going on with me; got some motherly mom advice.
House hunting has been going on at a brisk pace. It like job interviewing. I hate it. Most of the rooms have been good to average with some of the landlords O.K. with me making payments on the deposit. The lead canidate was a room a couple blocks away from City College. However, I was getting a wierd vibe about it and I had a week before the landlord finish his interviews, so i decided to look outside of S.F.
And I landed in Pacifica. I think that I am slowly falling in love with the town; I mean the view when you arriving into the town is just spectacular. Anyway, really nice rooms around, however I think I found the one that I want. It’s a bit smaller than some of the other rooms that I have looked at. However the price is right, there is a washer/dryer, parking, it’s blocks from the beach, the other roommate are cool, and most important of all, there are 3 cats. I am hoping that I get a call today or tomorrow. **cross fingers**
Warehouse move is picking up, along with the stress level. The warehouse owner’s handyman is comming out to do some work tonight. I’m suppose to watch the Matrix tonight, and I’m hoping that he will be done before 9pm. I will be pissed if it takes longer.
DSL is going out tonight or tomorrow. I will still be posting entries at work and whereever. Man, I’m already getting the shakes, although that could be because of my growing addiction to coffee/caffene again. Don’t know what Mike’s going to do.
Speaking of Mike, no room for rent signs on campus. I think he is going to wait until after finals are done, which could be a mistake, since people are looking now for rooms. Well, that and the asking price. There’s only one Park Merced room that is more expensive than his, but that room includes utils, cable, and DSL. Anyway, the mess in the house is slowly growing, esp in the kitchen. Guess I will clean downstairs this weekend and leave it at that. Still need to finish getting the marks off of the wall and I have to call a carpenter to cut the stair banister so I can get my bed out.
Misc TV notes…
*-I am so sick of the Sprint comercial. I repeat: Who gives their 1st grade kid a color screen cell phone that can take pictures? Are you crazy?
*-Caught a bit of American Idol the other night. Didn’t realize that Clay was the Broadway singer. More amazing is that he is still on the show; not that he has a bad voice. But his style is clearly Broadway; didn’t think that that would be want AI wanted.
*-Buffy is almost over. Feeling Good/Bad about it. Sad that the series is over, but thank God this year is limping to a close.
O.K. Back to work I guess

The Tygre Boyz….

It is 3 a.m. and I should have been in bed hours ago. However, I spent the time working on finishing my last photoshoot here at 527 Tapia. And so I give you The Tygre Boyz

So Suzanne did this picture years ago and I’ve always wanted to to my own, So last Saturday, after coming home for apt hunting, I had an hour block and so I decided that I would take the pictures for it and try to get it done before the DSL is gone.
In hindsight, I really rushed into it and should have though it out more; facial expression, poses, clothes. One thing I wanted to do was to take some of the pictures the way my hair is now, and then get a hair cut and take the rest of the pictures bald. Also I fucked up with the lighing and with the camera since I don’t have a tripod. So, I’m not totally happy with the results, but satified with the amount of time that I put into it. Who know, maybe I’ll do another one and be organized with it.
