Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow will be my 3 year anniversary of using Livejournal. I know, according to my user info, I created this journal on July 28th. However this was originally my first journal. 2100+ entries spread over 3 main user names (tygger_sf, tygreyes, dark_tygre) and misc “secret” journals that have been long discontinued. Wow. I remember looking at April old site and wanting to do an online journal of some kind, but didn’t want to do all of the work of making a design and coding it. So I took a look at diaryland.com, Blogger, and there was one other that I can’t remember before finding Livejournal. I think that Frank the mascot was the deciding factor for me. **sigh** So much has happened over the course of those three years; and yet some things have stayed the same. and no matter how many times I try to leave Livejournal or delete my journal, I always seem to come back to it.

End to a lazy day…

Back at the bus center to update; haven’t decided if it is sick or sad.
Anyway, spent the day watching DVD’s (Escaflowne), reading, trying to get into a computer game, napping, making a mess in the kitchen and cleaning it up afterwards. Truly an exciting day, I know. Packed a few more things; all that is left are clothes, computer, and bedroom furniture.
I had lots of thoughts that I’ve been keeping in my written journal, but I forgot to bring the damn thing. Oh well, perhaps they will get transcribed one day.
Got a couple of mysterious calls today from numbers that I didn’t recognized. Wonder what’s that all about.
Don’t you hate those really erotic dreams that you have in the middle of the night. The ones that you know are a dream, but you let yourself go anyway cause it feels so good.
Think that sucks about the bus. center is that you can’t use Instant Messenger, even the java version. 🙁 Oh well.
Like I said, I wrote down lots in my written journal. Don’t have anything to say right now. Thinking of wondering over to Borders again but they close at 10:30. Might as well just go back home.
I am feeling so…empty right now. Not sure if it is caffiene/DSL withdrawls or something else. I’m pretty sure it’s something else. Thinking that I should watch Life Is Beautiful, something to help the waterworks come out. Tonight might be a good night to have a good cry.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Back at the Park Merced Busness center to use the internet. While I can’t beging to comprehend how I managed without the internet; it’s amazing in itself that within a couple of block radius, there are a number of places that I can connect to the internet.
Anyway, expect today to be a mostly lazy Sunday. Will finish packing some things and might move the bookcase downstairs just to get it out of the way. I know that I have two weeks left, but next week is graduation and other stuff going on. So I want to get it done ahead of time. Actually there isn’t too much for me to move, which is surprising.
Just a general notice to all of my friends (and enemies), that I will be moving so any mail should be sent to my work address and not to my home address. Also the work address will be changing soon too, but it will be right next door, so no worries about me getting mail. My home line has been disconnected, so if you need to contact me, use the cell line.

Saturday night party…or not

It’s been a busy day for me. Went all over the penensula doing stuff. Went all the way to Fry’s to look for the stupid camera mount, but they didn’t have it. So I went to just about every electronics store to no avail. Come back home and Amy called me to hang out. But I was exhasted and just wanted to sleep. So I get home and find out that Mike still hasn’t shown the room yet; the people are comming at 5pm and 7pm. **sigh**, so I have to stay up an extra two hours to wait for these people. They seemed like nice people and I hope that Mike finds someone. So after that, I finally goto my room, put a DVD on and fall asleep. I’m awaken later by the smell of food cooking just filling up my room. I was so piss, and I almost lost it to Mike, but I just walked out instead. **sigh** two weeks and then he will be someone elses problem.
Well I’m at park merced’s office at their club and the office is closing in 10 min. Think that I will walk down to Borders to get some coffee. They close at 11pm. My room should be aired out by then.

Saturday At Work…

Not actually work, just at work to use the internet.
Not having an internet connection just blows big time. On the one hand, I guess it’s good, cause it forces me to jump back into reading. But still, I miss it.
Mike has cleaned up the house for potentials comming to look at it today and tomorrow. I am so over Mike, at this point, the only reason that I am still living with him is because I am waiting for my paycheck to move. O.K. Also probably doing it so that no one else can move in just to spite him. **sigh** Luckly I’ve been busy with stuff so that I have been out of the house. Question, is it too much to ask to open a window when you are cooking so that the house doesn’t smell like whatever you cooked that day. O.K., just counting the days. I still need to talk to him about the deposit; want to get a firm date on it and to get it in writing. Also need to finish scrubbing the marks off of the wall. Don’t think that I will have to worry about painting them.
Warehouse move is picking up. Feeling more and more confident that I can pull it off without any major accidents. **cross fingers**. Once that is taken care of, then inventory, and then I’m taking myself a vacation.
I’m already trying to decide how to spend the money that I will be saving by moving. The first thing I want to do is to pay off my JCPennys card, just so that I don’t have to deal with it anymore. Also want to fly up to Washington and see my parents this summer. But the biggest thing that I need to do is to SAVE!!!! Not having any money in my savings account is what got me in this situation in the first place. Once I get the savings account stuff up a bit, then I can focus on paying more on my car payment and student loans.
Then there is the DSL question. There is DSL in the place, and I could use my wireless router and connect to the internet that way. However I wouldn’t be able to pay Mechwarrior 4 or any online games. There is a phone jack in the room and I could just get my own. Speakeasy had a deal where if you sign up with them, then you could get a free PS2 or XBox. Something to think about anyway.
Also have toyed around with the idea of getting a 2nd job again. It’s not like I’m doing anything with my weekends right now; and with extra income comming in, it would just help me pay off stuff that much faster. None of this is going to happen until after the warehouse move at the earliest. Something to think about.
Also need to buy stuff for the new room. A Queen size bed frame is up towards the top of the list, since I am loosing space. Thought about having Mike take me to Costco to get one, but I think that I will troll around Craigslist to see what I can find. Then there is the issue of the plugs. The plugs in the room are 2 prong, not 3 prong. Most of my stuff is 3 pronged (the computer stuff). I wonder if I am capable enough to do the electrical, or will I have to hire an electrician.
O.K. I am hungry, so off to lunch I go.

From one addiction to another…

Went out to see the lunar eclispe, it was cool but the skies were too overcast to see it really well or to take good pictures; should have drove out to the East Bay. Anyway, it was the cold that made me leave early.
Get home to find out that the DSL and phone line are turned off. 🙁 Good thing I stopped at the library to pick up some books. Tried to goto sleep early, but Mike sleeping with the T.V. blasting kept me up until I went down to turn it off. Hopefully he will find a roommate that is a heavy sleeper.
I am already jumping from my internet addiction back to my coffee addiction. Not good. And of course, it’s just not regular coffee that I’m getting. No, I have to get the tall/venti mochas with shots in them. **sigh** Well, next week I will try to at least downgrade myself to just coffee, if for nothing else to save money.
O.K. Boss is coming out this afternoon, and the warehouse is a mess. Granted, we are moving so it should look like a mess. But I’m still feeling self-concious for some reason.

The Friday Five for May 16th, 2003

1. What drinking water do you prefer — tap, bottle, purifier, etc.? Purified, Bottle, Flavored, Tap in that order. I have a hard time justifling buying bottled water when I can just purify it at home myself. Not a big fan of the flavored waters, but will choose those over tap water any day.
2. What are your favourite flavor of chips?Sour Cream & Onions and Ranch. Cheese flavored chips are eh, and I really don’t like the BBQ or “red” flavored chips.
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most? Baking deserts are the dishies that I enjoy most making. With cakes, it gives me a chance to practice my frosting and icing skills, which I learned from working at Baskin Robbins. Sadly, it’s been a very long time since I have baked anything.
4. How do you have your eggs? Scrambled; not a big fan of yolk.
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?That would have to be the Xmas dinner that me and my friends had last year at Gabi’s. It turned out pretty good considering how many hands were in the kitchen and the amount of alcohol that was drunk while preparing the food.

Red moon rising…

Think that I am going to goto Twin Peaks to see if I can get a glimpse of the eclipse tonight and take some pics. Will also stop by the library and get some reading material.
DSL and phone are off after tonight. Thinking that I should call them and have them transfer the line to Pacifica. But, think it will be cheaper for me to wait. I was getting good reception on my cell phone and Barbara said that I could hook up the router to share the DSL. Although if I am going to continue to play Mechwarrior 4, I’ll need to lay cable and not use the wireless option.
O.K. outta here.

*- I thought that the movie was good. Def. stay for the preview after the credits.
*- There was one scene where I thought of Serraph and a few scenes later, there was Serraph.
*- Wierd Dave Matthews Band Remix while the credits played.
**yawn** Think that I am going to goto sleep since I haven’t had much sleep today. have a feeling that Brian is going to make an appearance before his appearance on Friday.
