I'm back from Pennsic, so of course I'm gonna write something. I don't care if I spend my time drinking and carousing at war, it always fires up my creativity anyway. It's like an all encompassing amorphorous muse. (Not sure what I'm driven to create...just want to create something)
First off, Pennsic was awesome. As always. I regret that I didn't spend enough time with certain people, didn't take any classes (like always!), didn't volunteer at all (I worked 53 hours the second week tho =P), and made a few promises I didn't quite keep. But that's all minor, and I am SO glad I took a whole two weeks this year. Well, almost a whole two weeks, damn close at least. The real world feels all funny today =D I still haven't showered either...not since my second day or so. Oops =P
I guess I should go do that before work.
I'll be back ^_^ |

1035 KTU, Makin' you feeeeel good.
I'm at the internship, still spazzing about getting hired. The latest news is that everyone wants to hire me, it's just a numbers game. Stupid numbers! If the morning show's sold out of spots already, they should have a couple of bucks to throw my way.
The interview at Sirius was also an interesting experiance. I could only stay for an hour cause of a festival NJRK players were getting paid to go to, but I'm going back this week. I figure I'll stick around for the morning show and then be like 'well, do you have openings or not?' but in nice words. They liked me, I think. I'm so tired of having to make good first impressions! Also of living at home, driving a bazillion miles everywhere, my hair (which needs to be redyed), my weight (which I'm running out of excuses for), being sick (vasamotor rhinitus!), and not being able to see any of my friends, like, ever.
Though my bro said I don't really have to go to his commencement on Sat, I may take the opportunity to head to Kips! Woot ^_^
I also got some SWEET fabric at Walmart, ideas and patterns with Nia at Joannes, plenty of free time in the next two weeks, and an adorable costume for faire this year (I love my costume this year with the same passion I hated last years!). This weekend was awesome on like, 5 levels, plans for my birthday are already coming together...things are shiny all 'round. |

Sometimes I get so fed up with me.
Like, last week I was taking care of myself, for a bit at least, I took the weekend off to spend with my boy and when I weighed myself Monday I had not only undone all my work, but backed up to a point I promised myself I wouldn't get to again. Of course that sent me in an ugly spiral for Monday and Tuesday...hell, Monday I didn't get out of bed. (metaphorically, I did do my internship and got up to read my grades and stuff) Today wasn't much better, though I did DDR for a whole 15 minutes. Mommy always puts on Biggest Loser and I watch what these people struggle with and I wonder why I can't have that sort of dedication. It's not even just the weight loss, I know I've needed a new job since forever, but have I done anything about it? I went out for like three seconds today and secured two pretty reasonable opportunities. (Waitressing, but it was because I had contacts at the restaurants I had totally forgotten about. Sheesh) I could have done that weeks ago.
It's fustrating, the good things in my life are all things I've done nothing to deserve, and anything I should be affecting I can't even get off my ass to think about. I don't know how to get myself in gear, and I just wish writing this would make it happen. It won't, but someday something will. I want to be proud of myself again.
Funny, though, when I was getting interviewed at Chili's today the chick looked at my resume and mentioned that I was very accomplished for a 23 year old. Way to be completely undeservedly privledged =P |

Well, kindasorta. I need to pay them the rest of the money. And I never really graduate until I get a real job.
But I have an internship with 103.5 KTU (The beat of New York/The station that makes you feel good) Yea, it's a dance station. In Jersey City. But I can start a week from Monday helping out the morning show. Best part, that show starts this Monday. So I'll be getting in on the beginning, but with an established talent (Cubby(sp?) from Z100) I'm so pyched I almost wet myself! No, not really. But Ed said he could tell when Bartel gave me the news after the final radio show yesterday cuz I freaked out. I literally had to sit. It's not that I'm not used to sucess...but I think that this will really work out career wise for me. Which I'm certainly not used to. I talk to Borzi on Monday about updating my resume and that good stuff, and he may help me out with a TV internship for the summer. (Most spring ones are already filled, I'm mad lucky to get the chance I have at KTU) In an ideal world (movie phone voice here) I move to Jersey City, have this KTU internship in the mornings (which turns into an actual parttime job in this scenario), bartend some nights, and intern afternoons at a TV news station somewhere (or, y'kno, talk show). My ideal life doesn't include time for partying, how wierd is that? It also means come May I might need to go ahead and dye my hair normal, buuut not till then. It's like the monkey that's been living on my shoulders the past month went on Atkins. He's still here, but like half the size.
I need a nap. Or a drink. Oh wells, off to 12th night! (The wrong one tho, PA instead of CN! Boo!!!) |

Mainly cuz I'm too dead to pack, I'ma give a short rundown as to what life be like. As of November 27th, we got our thirty days notice from our landlord. For a little while Liz was doing a ton of research on places for us to move to, I was making a whole bunch of calls, and she was visiting them sans pink-haired Kali. We found something in Caldwell and were two minutes away from putting money on it when I called to say maybe no. Although the moving back home was at first devastating, it freed up some of my money for when my car busted on Friday. I was driving to the Intarome X-mas party and looking at street signs when my car suddenly pulled to the right, I hit a parked car and swung my wheel to the left, but my car pulled me over to the curb anyway. I got out to survey the damage and see if I could continue on. Yea, my rearview was busted off, my front passenger wheel was at a 90 degree angle to the car and the tire was busted, windshield was cracked, and I couldn't get the passenger door all the way open or close it fully either. I was fine, and the car I tapped had a crack in the taillight. Also, I need to either dye my hair or get a new job. Icing on the cake? Brian might be losing his bank job.
Well, off to pack up or so! |

And I believe some NJRK type people visit this site (LOL, okay, I know there's a ton on LJ, but Nia's the only one I'm sure reads mine) PARTY ON SATURDAY.
Yea.
Post Halloween excuse to wear your costume again party, 8:00 my place. If you haven't already been, call (862) 432-6402 for directions.
Mommy's supplying food, we have some drinks-but they are kinda limited so a BYOB is slightly in order.
Oh which note, I'm gonna clean off my floor so I can have guests sleep over! |

Whatever happened to fall? That's my favorite season and it seems to have abandoned us this year. Fucker =( Saturday was perfect weather but that may be because I was down in Maryland. *shrugs* That was a ton and a half of fun though! Even though I got drunk and forced Fred to 'talk.' Like I do every time =D Well, I was only tipsy at the faire. We were stayin with BJ tho and his house was throwing a mad giant birthday party, so by the end of the night I totally lost time. Tried Absinthe and it was amazing and licoricey. There was also a supercool drum circle inside and we could hear it from outside. And I think I talked to Chris-O on the phone about his girl stuff. And I definately texted Nia some stuff I didn't remember the next morning. And I totally woke up half on the couch with Fred's head in my lap. It was adorable, although I was confused as to who the hell was sleeping on me at first. Now, of course, all my joints hurt. I think I'm gettin' too old for partyin' like a rock star. ...that's a lie, and you know it. ^_^ But I did get good pics on Sat, they are up in my MySpace. Liz has more up than I do, I think, and Jess has some on her camera that I want.
But that's my ramble for today...it's gonna be a loooong day again ^_^ |

That's not a word, but it totally should be.
Today I did dishes, vacuumed, swept, epoxy'd the table (prolly have to redo that one), and began decorating for Halloween (we need some crepe paper, stat!). I started to tackle my room, but that's possibly a job that cannot be handled by human means.
But I wanted to write, because writing is good for your brain, and because whatever else may transpire-today I am happy.

I'm not kidding. I found/updated my 'list' today. It's been awhile so some of the names on it from pennsic are 'so an so's friend' But, yea. *shrugs* Ce'st la Vie-I've got to try all sorts of fish before I find the one I want to keep.
Also, I am *jobless* right now. Self inflicted, but kinda weird. Also kinda freeing, I forgot how much I enjoy mornings. Gonna go do the bartending eval now, and prolly clean up some.
Rarr! |

I can't help it! I write half an entry and then get distracted before I can finish it properly. Like the rest of my life.
Ah, whatever. I did read somewhere recently that writing is good for you and makes you happy. Wow, wasn't that specific and obviously credible? Of course, that means this entry has GOT to be ( under a cut ) Being cold may be the easy way out. But it's also what works. |

I'm watching too much Sex and the City (again) and I still can't sleep. This show is bad for me on multiple levels. There's the whole start of overanalyzing my life and relationships, and then the memory of the day I rented the dvd's with Anne. I hardly think about what we had...but when I do, especially in a mood like this, it feels so weird. Like, what happened? Also, I think there should be someone around for me to talk to at this time of the morning. I'm going insane, absolutely insane. I'm not sure what I'm thinking about the new job. I also am in serious need of some stupid crazy sex. Probably with a stranger. How horrible is that? I can't tell if it's just me being self destructive, like usual. Or I could be trying to make something work that just isn't. But it is working. Just...not in the way that I'm used to. I know that being in relationships cause people to change. And then I worry if I'm happy with how I'm changed-in this instance I'm extrasuperconfused. Like, I know in some instances I turn into a. No. I turn about the same as soon as I have a significant other. Sometimes I pick fights, I'll do whatever I can to fish for compliments, I spaz out over dumb things...I dunno.
The sun's starting to come up! Isn't that silly? I have a bazillion hour drive and have't gotten a wink of sleep. I also feel like I'm going to cry. Fucker. Which is worse, lack of sex of lack of feelings? I think it's what you know. Which is crap. But it also means I'm uncomfortable. But I'll adjust ^_^ |

But anyway, I felt like writing a journjal entry after watching a bunch of Sex and the City with the roomy. We're borrowing seasons 1 & 2 from Brian, of all people.
So this weekend? Full of awesome. Friday I went to see Transformers with my Mom and Bro, and then Hibachi with Nik. We went back to his house for Invsder Zim and a bunch of other people joined up, which was good becausee I passed out mad early. I'm still getting the hang of this getting up on time thing. Saturday I went Rock climbing for a little bit with Liz and John. I forgot how much rappelling down scares the crap out of me, so I only went up once. Plus, it was kinda wierd just playing with them and no professionals around to trust. (He's been doing it for a bazillion years and knew what to do, it just felt a lil wierd) My favorite part was climbing the bit of rock that we could do without the rope, freaking out at the top, and just climbing my way back down. It was better than letting him lower me again. From there we went to Hacklebarney to play in the stream for awhile. I picked up my car and an extra copy of Harry Potter from ho0me and then went home to cook. I made a yummy dinner of shells and spinach, and we got to drinking! Liz, John, Nick, Nik and I went out to Just Jakes for a decent coverband and more drinking! I danced alot, with various boys. And I didn't do anything bad, nor did I have the desire to. I did give out my number tho, cuz I'm amused by that. I didn't do the diner today, but I did read Harry Potter. And I finished it. And it was perfect. |

I just vacuumed. And mopped.
=)
I may not have done the best job, but I did the Kali version of cleaning the whole bottom floor. Now it smells like cleaning products and is yucky. It started because Brian offered to come over and help take care of the ant situation. Btw, I've been working on the ants since they started and was going to mop up the floor today anyway. So when I asked Liz if she told him to come over, she let me know that the whole house is a disaster and she can't clean it all on her own. Thanks. I told her before we even moved in together that I'm not about to clean stuff unless she tells me. Also, she thinks she cleans, but mainly she puts stuff in piles. I can say that because I just got through dusting pretty much every surface in the place. Meh. I'm fustrated because I know I should have done something sooner, and situations like this always make me feel like the bad guy. When in reality, it should be an equal distribution of blame. Of course, she barely even lives here so maybe it should be all my fault.
Grrr. So not in the mood to cook or minigolf tonight. I'm off to go read some Anne Rice and chill in the ac with Kitty. |

You march right up to your room and apply yourself!!!!
Anyway. It's four weeks until Pennsic! Well, the part of Pennsic that Kali's goin to. Oh crazy horray! It also means I have four weeks until running around half naked for a week. Dangnabit. Hehe, I want ice-cream!
I feel the need to be creative, but I've got a blockage. In the brain. I think it's cartoon shaped. Chris is gonna talk to Mike about that one tho. Hurrah!
Right. Off to work! |

So, on lj I do this thing where I have a really good idea of what to write about, but I check my friends list first. And since my list is mainly comics I get really distracted. Like ridiculously so. Poo on me.
I told everyone (ha) on aim that I was leaving to do something productive before work. I am such a slacker. Also, I can't print cuz I seem to be out of ink. Which screws with my plans for tomorrow. Unless I go to Staples before work. I'll do that. I'll go to the bank too.
Maybe even the grocery store, if I have enough time. I can't help it! This is who I am right now and it's not about to change. I'm an idea man that needs a guiding force. Sometimes my ideal job would be sewing costumes for cosplayers. With a boss to do all the paperwork and other details. They'd just be like 'this week we need this. here are your measurements' And by cosplay I also mean renfaires and custom clothing in general.
I'm gonna take a quick peek at the classifides before I bug out. |
