Cardigans, trabajo, et al 0

> Cardigans – Hanging Around

Poo. I meant to call Misty after I got off from work, but what really happened was that I fell asleep around 6 p.m. and slept until this morning. I missed some prime Misty and Selena hangout time, but on the good side of things I am actually awake today. I hope to get a lot of work done at work today. Unfortunately, it looks like I’m not going to be able to go down to Kelly’s house this weekend. I basically blew through my whole savings and I have about $30 in my bank account. I will explain it to her this way: by not coming down this weekend it’s all the sooner I can move down there. I’ve decided that I’m not really going to give more than a month’s notice that I’m leaving. I will of course stay as long as is needed for them to find a replacement for me (within reason), but I’m not giving them more than that. This is a job. Not some convoluted personal thing, which more and more it seems like it is.

I remember I was going to say something. Oh yeah. This new Cardigans album I downloaded is actually really cool. It’s like they went into a cave and listened to Portishead for four months, then emerged and recorded an album.

Okay, I must not dally anymore. Realtors are supposed to come and look at the house at 10:30. And it’s 10:31.

Last night at like 2 a.m. I went over to Charley’s and we did tequila shots and rocked out to 80s ass rock, the Beastie Boys, and karaokied to Elastica. It was totally hella fun. We didn’t get to sleep until like four-ish, so I should be tired, but I’m not. Maybe it will hit me in the afternoon. Maybe.

I just checked my online banking and I have like no money. I don’t know about this trip. We’ll have to see how much I get paid on Thursday.

> Miss Kittin and the Hacker – Frank Sinatra [2001 remix]

I just dropped my classes on Web Advisor. I’m really doing it. I’m moving to fucking Sacramento. I cancelled my Netflix.

I calculated that with $200 paychecks (the bare minimum) that by Sept. I’ll have $1000 saved up, with $150 a month expenses (a gross overstatement). So it will probably be earlier. I need to find out how long things like escrow take so that I know when to break the news to my boss. My story is going to be that my dad is selling the house. Both to my mom and to work. As one of my best friend said today, “[She] is trying to micromanage your life from Manhattan.” And it’s true. God I can’t wait to leave! And I can’t wait to see my cousin this weekend!

SF Reloaded 3

I want to write a long post about the San Francisco trip, but I am just so jaded that it’s going to just be a long bitch fest. To spare you guys, I will skip the bitching and summarize it before I start.

Ben is quite possibly the most shallow person I have ever met. Two fucking days. All he could talk about was cars, clothes, and “hot guys.” Fucking kill me now.

There was no conversation on this trip at all after we arrived, save for “Oh, look at that hot guy!” I mean nothing.

Ben snubbed the group of people I respect most in the whole world. For that he will never be more than an acquaintance.

OK. I’m going to summarize the trip too, because I don’t want to relive all this crap.

We made it to the city in record time.

We were in ecstasy as we passed the Golden Gate Bridge.

We checked into our hotel, got dressed up, and went down to Castro Street.

There was really nobody there, so we went back and went to sleep.

We woke up early in the morning and Ben went shopping while me and Zack accompanied him.

He spent hundreds of dollars.

I was so sick of the complete lack of intelligent conversation that I spent $10 using my cell phone on roaming to call Misty and Selena.

I pretended I was having fun for the rest of the day.

We got onto this big gay.com bus and watched everybody.

We went back to the hotel room and got all pretty to go out.

Took the subway back to Castro Street, there was this wild party that I actually had a bit of fun at.

Returned to the room at about one in the morning.

Tried to wake up at 9:30 for the parade but ended up sleeping in until almost checkout time.

Tried to find a parking space, ended up driving around for about three hours in traffic, did eventually find a parking space nine blocks away from where we wanted to go. By this time the parade was over, so we just went back to Diesel on Castro Street for Ben to buy this hoodie that he saw someone wear at the party last night. On the way back Ben got us lost and we walked about seven more blocks in the wrong direction. Ended up at Haight-Ashbury. I was livid.

Walked 17 blocks back to the car.

Drove in bumper-to-bumper traffic for like three hours to Kelly’s house.

Had an incredible amount of fun while Ben and Zack stayed in the car pissed off.

We left at 4 a.m.

I drove six hours without any sleep that night. I had to roll down the window and keep slapping my face to stay awake.

30 mi. outside of Eureka I woke Ben up and he took over driving.

We arrived at Crescent city at around 11 in the afternoon.

Went to work.

Went home at 4 p.m.

Slept all night.

Went to work the next day

Got home, talked to my cousin and mom, photoblogged.

And here I am.
