If only I had a phaser...

I am moving this weekend. Praise the lord. I found a really nice 4 bedroom house less than 2 miles from my work with my best friend and her co-worker. We all have a similar lifestyles and habits and things are looking like they should be really good. Yes, we are both sorta nervous about our friendship but have agreed if something is bothersome we will do what we always do and talk about it before it blows up.

The roommates I am leaving, well one of them, is making my life hell. I gave my 30 days as soon as I found out. I am paying rent at the old place up until March 21st, even though I won't be living there after saturday. So I have shelled out 800 deposit and 700 rent at new place and now am shelling out 490 more instead of my normal 700. My roommate told me that since all the rent for the whole house is due March 1st that I should pay my normal 700 and the guy taking my place March 21st will pay me the 210 difference then. I approached my roommate the other day to say that I didn't feel comfortable with the arrangement (thinking to self I was gonna get screwed over) and that I really didn't want to do it this way especially without it in writing. He then told me the replacement isn't moving in until April 1st so no one is going to pay me back. So I told him I was paying the 490 I owe and he needed to figure the rest out. He then got pissed and argued with me saying I wasn't being responsible and I was fucking them over. I am not sure exactly why, by following all the rules on my side, and offering to come back at end of March and help out with March bills, he is so pissed but the last few days and the next few days are proving to be very tense and yucky...as in he got up at 6am for the first time in 6 months....to flush the toilet and burn me while I was in the shower...keep in mind he is 31 yrs old...

Oh and to continue with funny

So last night the boy and I were cuddling and it was all smooshy and cutesy and make you want to barf at the lovey doveys. We usually make dumb snugglebunny or cuddly wuddly references but last night was the funniest. So the boy says to me...
"You're my wittle snuggleslug. Let's get slimy." I think I almost peed my pants laughing.

On another related funny note. I have known the boy over a year...and I find out last night that he has a hedgehog in his garage. A real one. Conversation proceeding discovery:
Me: You serious? Why's your mom keep that out there?
Boy: I don't know; it just sits out there in its cage.
Me: Can you touch it?
Boy: Well he isn't really nice. In fact he is sorta mean.
Me: So it bites or what does it do when you pick it up?
Boy: Well his main way of attack is that when you reach in to pick him up he jumps up to scare you and get your hand.
Me: Really???
Boy: Yes really.
Me: So once you pick him up what does he do?
Boy: Well you have to wear gloves to touch him and he just curls up in his ball as his next defense mechanism.
Me: He stays curled up in a ball the whole time?
Boy: Pretty much, yah.
Me: So in other words he is pretty useless.
Boy: Yah, I guess.
Me: Man you shoulda got a guinea pig. They squeek.

Me? Slacker? No freakin way!

So Amber...what productive things have you been doing at work. Well let's see. For the last 4 hours I have been watching about 8 gabillion (cause that IS a word) hysterical clips from comedy central. You too can be a slacker....and laugh and laugh and not do any work...and get paid!

In honor of love and whimsy philosophies

ORIGIN OF LOVE

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Something cheesy for you for Valentine's

OOO AAAHHH Actual Content

I saw Storytelling last night and I am not sure what to think. The movie is by the director of Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness and has 2 unrelated stories that make up the movie. The first story "Fiction" deals with Selma Blair dating another college student with cerbral palsy...I won't ruin it but it delves into this african american dominant in bed idea about how people make up fantasies and then when faced with them make themselves the victim which is all they know how to do to make the fantasy come true. It was really weird and disturbing. The second story "Non fiction" follows around this kid named Scooby who doesn't want to go to college and there is a nerdy documentary guy following him around, making what turns out to be almost a mockumentary. This story had way more humor and John Goodman as the father was an excellent little performance. The story sorta ended weird though leaving me wondering, besides the somewhat obvious message I really don't see why the movie was made. It was very similar to my feelings for Dollhouse...was an ok movie but one I could have gone without seeing.

Ghost World on the other hand I absolutely loved and just bought. Awesome awesome movie....I have been trying to find the comic it is based on unsucessfully; everywhere is sold out it seems. I am also tempted to see Crumb now but am hesitant, any recommendations?

Also, WHERE DID SPELL CHECK GO????????

Normal? Anyone?

OOOO Great stress relief

Pop!

People are strange, when you're a stranger

Life is weird. I don't really have any significant complaints and yet I am not ecstatically happy. I am still homesick for my parents and am looking forward to visiting them for President's Day Weekend. I am trying to con them into taking me to Yosemite for a day to see the frozen waterfalls.

I'm in the midst of stressful house hunting with 2 friend/friend's co-worker people. These people both have credit worth ca-ca, so therefore us early 20-somethings will have to have a co-signer since I can't carry us all on my credit. I am nervous of ruining a friendship in all this. I am also nervous about finding a place that doesn't make my 10 minute commute worse. And that fits all my stuff and has enough closet space.

Work is super busy, followed immediately by super slow. I have been reading a lot and enjoying it more than I care to admit. I have taken to reading for at least an hour before bed and get cranky if I am too tired to read. How that makes any sense I don't know. I am avoiding the TV like the plague for some unbeknownst reason and have been careful with spending as I am spreading my money thin til my next pay check. Budgeting sucks my ass.

Holy Soft Porn Batman!

I went to see Monster's Ball last night. I had been looking forward to it as the idea of Halle Berry and Billy Bob in love under reacial tension in the south sounded semi interesting. Well it was sorta ok. The plot had way too much unbelievable drama. One thing after another kept happening and it was just too overwhelming to the point where sad things began to be funny. There is a huge scene with major nudity that lasts forever and was almost like an I-am-too-embarrassed-and-should-cover-my-eyes-because-there-are-too-many-old-people-around-me-who-look-like-my parents-and-I-am-watching-porn. Anyhow, the film just left me feelig nothing afterward. Yes it held my attention but Billy Bob did a complete 180 rather unexpectedly and the film lacked character development. I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to feel leaving. Just dissapointed.

Sometimes

Sometimes sunshine

Does not want to shine on me

And sometimes I find myself blind

At first I cannot see and then I see it's me

Popcorn sissies

ryn_32: what do u like about that place?
lilgirllost9: saratoga?
ryn_32: yea
lilgirllost9: i dunno its not as crowded as the mercado 20
lilgirllost9: and its nice
lilgirllost9: and it gets crowded but parking is still findable usually
ryn_32: u dont like those older style theatres?
lilgirllost9: and u get to butter your own popcorn!!!!!
lilgirllost9: i do.....the centuries are cool.......very big and impressive
ryn_32: lol is buttering your own popcorn important to u?
lilgirllost9: but i like the big comfy chairs
lilgirllost9: very much so
lilgirllost9: it is a very essential factor in enjoyable movie watching
lilgirllost9: the amount of butter can make or break a movie
ryn_32: but how can u get the right amounto f butter
ryn_32: wouldnt u rather trust the judgement of professionals?
ryn_32: then to accidentally over/under butter?
lilgirllost9: its a complicated process that you wouldn't understand
lilgirllost9: the choice amount for me is carefully measured out, factoring in shakes to get the butter spread equally to each piece on the bottom of the bag
ryn_32: i see
ryn_32: how many shakes does it take?
lilgirllost9: mmmm...popcorn....
ryn_32: for the buter to reach the bottom
lilgirllost9: usually 3 shakes per small squirt of artificial butter flavored topping
lilgirllost9: multiplied by about 10 equaling around 30 small shakes and the loss of about 20 kernals that spill out in this delicate process
ryn_32: im no professional, but i do pay attention. ive noticed that people tend to squirt down the side..is that a more effective way?
ryn_32: what about salt?
lilgirllost9: you know, i dont actually use that method so i have no comment
lilgirllost9: salt is for sissys
ryn_32: do we use salt as well?
ryn_32: lol
ryn_32: i use salt
lilgirllost9: case in point
ryn_32: in fact, i prefer salt over butter
lilgirllost9: you are digging yourself a hole
