If I was only human
Of flesh and blood

I would relate to you
You know I could

I long to hold you
Just like you do

Ten times I’ve thought about it
The things you do

All the people that you’ve loved
they’re all bound to leave some keepsakes

Yesterday was…odd. I spent the night over at Adrian’s house and was SO late getting to work. I had to walk all the way back home in the freezing cold…not a wonderful way to start the day. I rode my bike to the bus stop this time, and I have to say that it helped me get there much faster than walking. I think it cut my total transit time by at least a half-hour.

I’ve been using this cool service called Meebo to keep in touch with people I’m making plans with (usually Adrian). You go to the website and sign in and it signs you in to all your IM services (AIM, Yahoo, Gtalk, etc.) inside of a web interface. It’s quite handy when you’re away from your home computer.

Well, after I got off work I was going to go home but as I was waiting at my train stop (I stayed at work WAY too late…it was pitch dark when I left), Christen called me and asked if I wanted to go out to eat with her. I met her at the Alhambra Safeway and after a while, we did fit my bike in her car (I had to take off the front wheel). We went to Arden Fair and looked at clothes (I got the most adorable and warm scarf, I’m in love with it). She also introduced me to her friend John, who I had kind of sorta met at the club but didn’t want to say hello because as fate would have it, the only time I was near enough to say hello was when we were in the bathroom.

Me and Christen ate at Fresh Choice (a first time for me) and we totally pigged out. We must have had like five courses. My meal was something like $15 because I ordered a beer ($5 or so), but I love ordering drinks! The novelty totally hasn’t worn off yet!

Well, after that I went over to Christen’s. We were going to watch a movie, but Christen ended up talking to her new boy (sorta..) Anton, and I was reading the novel that Sex and the City was based on. As 11 p.m. rolled by, I realized I had to get home. I took my bike out of the car, said goodbye to Christen, and pedaled home. It was quite a workout, but I did it. The main annoyance of the ride was my stupid sachel getting in the way. You can’t wear a messenger bag while riding a bike. I need to get a backpack.

Anyway, things aren’t going so well with Adrian. I hope that things go better today.

I was going to take the super-early bus (9:14) this morning, but right as I was getting up my stupid drunken uncle John came in (or at least I think it’s him), and has been in the bathroom ever since (it’s now 9:25). I’m going to go rap on the door and make him get the hell out of there. God, he is such a loser. I hope I never become like him.

Randomly, I downloaded this application called X-MasTree to get me in the holiday spirit. It makes a Christmas tree on your desktop with blinking lights…it’s so adorable! Obligatory screenshot:

I don’t know what’s going on today…I was going to take the bus home this morning (I slept over at Christen’s house), but it is raining like hell. Christen called in sick to work today…she’s sleeping in the loft bed above the computer.

I still feel really lost today. Someone’s selling a Palm TX on craigslist for only $150…if I had any spare money I’d pick it up, but I don’t. I had better buy an umbrella…it’s going to suck to walk to the bus stop in the rain on Monday.

I’ve been shopping around the web for 23-24″ displays, and they are all out of my price range ($800 or so). I’ve also been looking for another hosting company for my website. I only get 2GB of space on this host, and although they have been ultra-reliable, I am out of space and need more advanced features like PHP5 and WebDAV. The prospect I am most interested in is DreamHost, although they supposedly have a lot of downtime. I’ll switch for a month, and if I get any downtime, I’ll go right back to my old host.

Well, I guess I should go out into the living room and call my mom or something.

I just read a craigslist ad for a computer flea market…I am SO going! I need an Apple II so I can play Math Blaster again!
