Best year ever?

Not trying to jinx myself yet, but if everything works out, 30 might be actually the best year EVER for me.

Have an interview at CDW on Monday afternoon (March 3rd), for the Systems Analyst, Project Management Tools position... well that's a mouthful. So yes wish me luck :P

Got to see some friends I've known for a loooong time on Saturday night so that was cool. Gollum had a... 'harem party'. Sadly I did not have a sultan outfit to wear but it was ok, and the belly dancing was cool.

Also had dinner with Elvis and his fam on Sunday night at this Italian restaurant that was in what used to be a church.. that was kinda trippy but I didn't burst into flames or even start smoking a little so that was encouraging. I think Elvis was a bit surprised to see me with Lil T. Who knew I could be that comfortable taking care of a 1yr old?

Sooooooo yes... here's to hoping my years of interviewing and corporate lingo experience mixed with some overall awesomeness helps me rock this thing Monday.

Every new beginning

The song from this video was recently dedicated to me. It's a sad fact that sometimes in life things change and even if it may seem it's for the better, it can still hurt.

This weekend I'm going to a friend's baby shower but since it's a dude throwing it apparently there's going to be lots of alcohol.. how odd. Then after that going to another party to see some friends I haven't seen for quite some time so that'll be nice to reconnect a bit I suppose. Think E.C. is going to go with me to. Things are going surprisingly well considering neither of us were expecting this and it's.. nice to be happy. I can only hope that everyone else is afforded the chance to be happy as well.

Nothing else really to say right now. Nothing to insightful or wise or even remotely witty.

The biggest VDay to date...

So Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I know there are those who are in the mindset of.. "Stupid made up hallmark holiday", but that's more 'Sweetest Day'. Valentine's Day is someone legit at least.

Let's see. Yesterday was pretty cool. Saw E.C. in the morning, had lunch and spent some time with Haruka, then hung with Sakura a bit.

Haha amusingly enough the family that Sakura was nannying (that a word?) for, one of the girls is six. She found out it was my birthday and made me a paper bracelet, a 'map' of the computer I was fixing at her house and a necklace with plastic or glass beads? Either way it was extremly cute so I was like awwww.

I'm not really going to mention much about my birthday since pfft, whatever :P I do want to say thank you for all those who have left me messages/gifts and such, they are all greatly appreciated.

I'm hoping with this new.. decade.. on life things will finally start going back up again since I've been in a bit of a funk and all.

Throughout the day today Sakura's been sending me txt messages of I am "the amazingest". She listed 30 things that made me laugh and smile so I'm thankful for that. I did want to post a couple of the really outstanding ones though.

7. Because of you I can order beyond sushi combo B

12. You have the best taste in angry music.

15. You understand that scurvy is a very real threat.

And probably the one that had me laughing the loudest and looking like an insane person as I was running errands earlier...

18. If you were a superhero your motto would be. 'Leave no woman unsaved." -- Your success rate is rather impressive.

27. You’ve inspire a duality in me at Mexican restaurants: desperately needing to order flan, and then urgently needing to poke it.

29. If someone asked you the difference between east coast and west coast glowsticking, you'd have an answer.

Awesome :)

Hmm what else.. I'm making a gift bag for E.C., I swear I'm not of the same sex persuasion. Cleaned the car out a bit, got the oil changed and the engine flushed (car talk for give me all your money). Should go get ready and all that going to go see some Blue Man Group tonight. Wasn't my original plans but hey, that's a part of life being able to think on your feet and go with it right?

Sooooo.. Ja Ne

Fragile Folded Wings

I've been watching alot of Bleach lately since I've had free time due to lack of people calling me to tell me they want to pay me alot of money to do minimal work. The bastards. Just applied for two positions at CDW so here's hoping. Yes I still want to do the cop thing. No security gigs aren't paying my debts. Hence the need for an IT job so I can get paid, pay bills, and get back into my own place. That and I miss my stuff that's in storage. Sigh.

So yeah.. the latest opening theme song for Bleach gets to me in a good way. Here's the video with the english translations of the lyrics.

Aqua Timez - Alones

Are you scared?

Hahahaha my sister posted this on her myspace page and damn.. I think I've seen every movie these clips are taken from.

OMG OMG OMG

Sadly this is the best news I've had in months hehe. Stopped at WalMart last night, (not much else is open at 1am), after picking up my sister from work (her car's in the shop this week) and I was like.. I need cereal and BAM in the cereal aisle I see...



It was like the universe felt sorry for me and decided to throw me a bone of sweetened crisp happiness. Who am I to argue. I bought two boxes. One might make it through the rest of the day today. Hee.

I keep seeing calendars.. and I keep giving them the finger. Less than two weeks? Son of a.. The Abbott Labs job I've been waiting to hear back about now may take until next week again to get back to me. I hate them.. yet I want to work for them and get paid.. GET PAID SON! sigh.

Well back to job hunting.. again.. bother. Someone just needs to be like.. here you I'll pay you large sums of money to surf the internet and take breaks when you want to. That'd be hot.

As lost as I get...

Nin and Mirrormask. Hot. This is for E.C.
