There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.

Thanks to David B. for sending this to me.

Okay. Hopefully people see this and someone wants to come along. I have an extra ticket for the Friday 3am showing of Pirates at the El Capitan in Hollywood. It is a VIP ticket and you get popcorn and drink. Is anyone crazy enough to go? |
|
Well, I have my own place now. It's in West Covina near the 10 and Citrus. It's a nice little one bedroom that is really coming along. Through various sources, all I am lacking in necessities are a sofa (or other chairs to relax in) and bookshelves. I need to get two more of the latter, but I have it planned where they are going to go. I hope to be ready for a little party around my birthday, but it depends on how monies look. |

Well, I will soon have my cool phone back, along with all the ringtones and such. I performined a memoryboard transplant and will find out tomorrow if it works.
Now, I need to go do more damage control. Some people just bring out the worst in me.Status:  accomplished |

I'm just really down today. :-( I want to go out and do stuff with people. There are other things going on that are bugging me. I just need a good distraction. These things are not things that can be fixed, but I need to not be thinking about them.Status:  depressed |

I went with some friends to Dave and Buster's and the movies yesterday. Also picked up a black tie for cheap.
We saw The Inside Man. A very cool movie. Go see it, it is worth the price of admission.
Also, boycott MI:III. Tom Cruise threw a tantrum about the re-airing of his South Park episode and they pulled it. All Tom Cruise movies are in the same catagory as Metallica CDs. I won't pay a damn thing to get/see/hear them.
And lastly, I have a new Avatar. Thanks to Michelle and Grace and Inked in a roundabout way for me getting it.Status: accomplished |

I need sanctuary. Does anyone have some room?

Well, I just got home from going out. I had a nice little night that came from nothing. And I had an... interesting end to it.
It started with me going out to Claremont and meeting up with a friend and friend of for dinner. We ate at this Italian place in the Village that was pretty good. We were going to go to Clockwork Green, but they got tired and I went by myself.
I got there a little after eleven, but still got almost three hours solid of dancing. Even met some new friends.
After the club closed, we made plans to meet at Tommy's before heading home. Then, my pretty good night got interrupted. I got into an accident. A Porche 911 rear ended me while I was stopped. The guy then flipped a U-turn and took off. I followed.
I drive a Neon and am proud to say that I kept up with him until we hit a straight, clear patch of road. Then I lost him. Fucking cops were no help since I kept having to call different stations to try to get some help. Idiots!
After he got away (I did chase him from Hollywood Blvd to Universal Studios), I pulled over and wrote down the info I could remember. Then I tried to call the cops again and couldn't. When I got to Tommy's, I called, got the right station and had the cops come by for a report.
I'm also going to do my own hunt too. I have the plate number (I think) so I am going to try to find him and get the cops to get him. I keep thinking that I should have tried to PIT him but I (A. Don't know how, and (B. would have probably gotten in trouble. At least I didn't get a lecture about chasing the bastard down.
As for Nova, she is fine. A little black mark from the hood (He went under me) and from one of the lights.
But I still got to meet up with my new friends and hang out a bit more. We are going to try to meet back at the club next week.
Now, to bed. |

Well, almost as punishment for my Only One!?!?!? post, I found out that a friend of my sister's tried to kill herself by taking every pill she could find in her mom's house, including seventy or so Tylenol. This happened five weeks ago, so I don't feel too bad about my post.
How she happened to want the sweet embrace of death is simple. Her parents have been going through a long, horrible divorce. I can relate to her. Though my anger was directed outward. I wanted to hurt others before myself.
Also contributing was her addiction to Crystal Meth. She got hooked, strung out, and tried to kill herself. I'd give anything to get my hands on the dealer and/or person who gave her her first hit. I could vent some of my more personal frustrations.
Like about my job. I may get fired, if I am lucky. I really can not do this job. I am missing fires, getting stressed out, a whole host of things. I will be applying somewhere very vehemently tomorrow.

I heard only one attempted suicide tonight. It wasn't even a good one. Come on people! Put some bloody effort into it. 20 sleeping pills will not do anything. And calling for help just makes you more the weenie!
I really had hopes for this shift. I thought, "Hell, I used to be miserable on V-Day. Maybe I'll hear some good ones." Well, in addition to having to work, my shift was not as entertaining as I had hoped. At least I only had one fire.
Maybe I'll hear a few more on my next shift, after the lonlieness has sunk in. Here's to hopin'.

I just finished reading, tagging, and making private my journal entries. Well, 90% of them. The inconsequential entries are still available to read, but all my past entries that actually say something are private. I'm going to try to keep up on "archiving" entries from now on.
On a related note, I notice that there is a new "nudge" button. If you haven't updated recently, expect one.

No use trying to fight it, you're an eight-sided die, a d8. A fine example of simple elegance, the d8 is one of the least appreciated types of dice, and is often neglected. You are known to be quiet and shy, outward traits that conceal viscous sarcasm and mean wit. You are very smart, yet wise enough to hide your intelligence the quicker they found out how smart you are, the sooner they'll put you to work, which is something you can do without. People call you dark and pessimistic, or moody and cynical. You find little point in arguing.

I discovered this movie a couple days ago. It's about 8 minutes, but is a really well done story and vid. I suggest you bounce over and listen to a nice little tale.
