Sunday was supposed to be Little Christmas, where my family got together and had the big serious christmas dinner and gift exchange that we didn't have in Hawaii (cause who cares about presents when you're from CNY and you can see the beach from where you are sitting and it's like, 80 degrees?) I was excited because if there's anything I really like, it's giving presents. I'm serious. I really think about it. I try to spend some decent money, too. You know, so they know that even if it wasn't so thoughtful, at least it was expensive.
But apparently, I was the only one who wasn't sent the "we're not doing presents this year" memo. Cause, no one else gave any presents.
Oh well. At least I got my mom an "I GOT LEI'D" hawaiian license plate. Gnome Sane??
um, micheal and I have been getting along pretty grandly. it's been awesome. Anyway, we decided that we were going to recombine our rooms so that we would have a bedroom and an office, instead of having his-n-hers rooms. It's really really nice. We have a great little space in here (being the office) with the larger TV, the futon (sofa style), my drawing board (as a desk) and the computer. The bedroom is just a simple bedroom. It's nice.
It's kind of strange though, really sharing space again. To my left is his notebooks and to my right is the camera he's selling on ebay.
I'm currently unemployed. I LOVE not having to work. I wish I could somehow get money for this, but I can't. But I wish I could. I can't wait to see what being in school and unemployed concurrently will be like. I hope it works well. Although it probably will not last long (not being in school, just being unemployed).
I was really worried about working at OCC (which is kind of a ways away) because I didn't really want to be spending any extra time away from the house. I was worried that Onyx would start feeling sort of neglected, and wouldn't have someone around enough to meet her needs. She's 10, but you know, a little more aged than that and really needs the attention.
But michael is wonderful. He did a great job with her while I was in Hawaii so I have faith that if I work and go to school at the same time, he will be there to take up the slack. Sometimes she is ornery and he gets frustrated with her, but they are learning to live with each other.
and now I have two side notes.
I know this is a trashy and american thing for me to say, but here it is. I like Pizza Hut pizza best. and if you do too, I HIGHLY reccomend taking advantage of the $10.99 5 topping medium or large pizza. JUST DO IT. Get the large. it's bigger.
Also, food for thought:
me: I know it's your thing to find all my online stuff
pete: not as much as i used to
pete: once i decoded yor genome my time is more applicable to working on your clones.
me: whoa
pete: i feed them corn
me: I LOVE CORN
me: oh my gosh, I had the funniest conversation about corn the other day
pete: you mean about how goverment subsidies were creating an artificial surplus?
me: no, about how I love canned corn, and also, pooping
pete: you are the poetic one
me: yes I am

slow day
Well, last night we ended up just staying in. m picked up a bottle of wine and we just relaxed with the cats. It was very nice.
Around 2:30am Dan came home drunk with some people and that kindof jolted us back into reality. This kind of thing is not by any means out of the ordinary, but lately it has been frustrating me a lot. I love Dan, but he has so little respect for the apartment and for us. Over the summer we all partied together all the time but I'm pretty tired of it. Plus, that was when the weather was nice, all our friends were around.
Lots of things have changed since then! m and I went through a rough spot a while ago and things are just now starting to level out. It comes down to, I keep mostly to myself now. Our friends have all sort of changed, adjusted. There are now two other houses that deal with the party scene now, and those being people that used to come here. Our friends. Now it's always just Dan's friends here, or m's. I really like most of m's friends, they are almost all solid dudes.
We have a spare room, that we have declared a kind of safe haven for kids who have had to much to drink, or for people from out of town to stay. Anyone who needs a place to stay is welcome. m and I generally keep it up, as it is sort of m's room (we keep seperate spaces, which is nice for now, although this is also something I've thought about changing.) but lately it has been kind of abused.
Anyway, dan's friends come over and drink and are loud and in the morning there is beer on the floor, cans everywhere, kids sleeping on couches, etc.
I've pretty much come to the end of the rope. I want to see dan put some effort into the house.
It's a nice apartment.
grr. Anyway, my concern is that I'm going back to school in a few weeks and I want a place to be able to relax, get my work done, and sleep.
Too much to ask for?
Maybe.
I didn't make it to coffee or the test. The alarm went off at 10am and I was just so wiped out from being kept up, and I am also still pretty sick. Just wanted to get some rest.
Big plans for the night: clean up the room, take care of cats. Trotsky came home yesterday with big fight marks on him and a big gash over his eye, so he's "grounded." We're keeping him inside until he heals up a little bit. Skeletor, our little guy, escaped through a window we had open due to freakishly warm temperatures and got into a big fight earlier this morning. No real wounds that we can find, but he was roughed up and muddy.
If m gets out of work early enough, we are going to see Children of Men, which looks good. Bladerunner of the 21st century? yeah, we'll be there.

My First Time.
First blog entry, very exciting. m and I are both going to use this blog, we'll see what comes of it.
going to fiddle with this and my google stuff a little more and then I think we're going to go up the street and grab a couple drinks. I am still sick and I'm really tired. Can't stay out late, I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm meeting John for coffee and then I have to take my math placement test at OCC. Fucking sweet.
We'll see if I can weasel out of it.
