Slowly making friends

Today, I went over by Chapman University again, up in the city of Orange. Randi, invited me, he's that same guy that invited me to the Dance event. So far, so friendly, and slowly I am getting to meet some people.

I do quite love meeting people, and it makes me happy. I still miss my home crew. Y'all know who you are. :)

Well, it's late Eastern time, which means I should be sleeping. Miss all my peeps. Mom, miss ya, sis, miss ya. X0X0.

Desk, it's a desk, ohh, it's a desk!

That is my room. :)

I just got done assembling the desk, and also the chair. That was fun, with many parts.

I had to remind myself which way to turn the screw sometimes, left loosey, righty tighty. That is how it goes.

Ok, I am DONE, and I need to be going to sleep.

bad IKEA, good Computer

Today, I went to the quite so wonderful to shop around IKEA.

There was a lot of stuff, and I was happy and excited to pick my new desk.

I got it all picked, and even knew the places I would get everything, the day was happy.

I went downstairs, to get my brand new items...

Ohhh, what, the shelf is empty. My desk top is not there, the legs are there, but not the top. Okay, try backup desk, what, the color I want is not there. I think of another potential backup, but I'm just not feeling it at this point. I go home, eat chinese food.

Now, the good part is that my big computer is up and running again. I can hear it's wonderful fans just behind me. The big frog, there happy. Ohh yeah, and that is after being tussled and rumbled in the trunk of my car. Quit Amazing.

Ohh yeah, heh, that computer is Frog. My laptop is Turtle. My server is Wolf, my mom's computer is Sheep, and my sister's computer is Monkey.

My previous computer was Alpha Deluxe. I don't remember the names of the other ones, but I think one was named *Licious, or something of the sort.

Okay now, I shall resume shopping for a desk, some other day, until then... sleep.

Based on popular Request

Actually, it was just my mom's request, but still. Family wanted to see what I look like now, mainly because I got a new haircut, and my eyebrows done.

Well, that is how I look. Tada. hehehe.

Home sweet home, just needs a desk

Okay, so it's finally starting to feel homey, which I like

I got my main computer out of the car, and I'm cruising the craigslist ads for a nice desk. The logistics of transporation are a whoole other thing.

With a desk, and a chair, then it will trully feel like a room.

I got paid today, which is indeed great, and I opened a new bank account, and it's nice that I can get a bonus for opening it, since the bank is new in the area. It's the same bank I had in Georgia, so I know how things go. I get more bonus money if I do direct deposit. I will surelly be doing that, very soon, haha.

I made some connections, and might go and meet up with some new people this weekend, hopefully it will all go well. :)

A brand new bed & some BBQ

Ok, remember that bed I bought last week?

Yeah, it sucked. It slowly leaked air out, and every night, I woke up a bit funkier.

I got a brand new one, and this time, it's queen sized. Yeah, yeah, it makes the room seem smaller, but it's much much more comfortable, and if I ever have an overnight guest, it will be more manageable. :)

Sunday, I went and had some BBQ, that was interesting, brand new people, two Hispanic guys, and I also met two older ladies, one which was very friendly, and nice. I'm going there Sunday again, since they are celebrating a birthday.

Hopefully this will open the door for meeting new people. *crosses finger*

A, ha. Spirders be gone

So, moments ago, I was going all gunslinger on my room. Corner, *BAM*, crack *BAM*, around door frames *BAM*

I had spider spray, and a purpose, and man, I was purposing that purpose, hahaha. Hey, at least no roaches, whew...

Ohh landlordy

So here is a latest thing that has happened.

As everyone probably knows, my car body is a bit messed up from the accident I had some time ago. Here is the little problem I am having to deal with.

My landloard is a dealer, therefore, he has a problem with my car... As he put it "i'm a dealer, so it doesn't look good for me, to have a car like that in front of my house. So park somewhere else on the street, and not in front of my house"

So yeah, now I can't park directly in front of where I live, how peachy right?

Ugh, well, he did say if I get a quote, he can get me the part for abour $25, and labor at a 30% discount. Which considering things, is not that bad. Well, for now, I just will park somewhere else...

We have a bed!

Ok, so I ended up buying on of those airbed things. They are ok comfortable, granted, i am strongly considering buying a bit bigger. I have a twin right now, that I bought at Wal-Mart. I might get a double, but I'll see after I sleep in it.

So, this will be the first time, that I will sleep in my own bed. Yeay, joy. :)

It's got a fuzzy cover, so it should be confy. Much better than raspy carpet, that is for sure. :)

Work work work

No TV in CA, but Thank God You're Here

So, I have no TV here in California, but I thank NBC for broadcasting some of their shows online. I am now relaxing, and watching "Thank God You're Here"

That show is fun to watch, and entertaining. I still have two people to go.

I didn't expect a judge to be there, but I guess, that helps keep the show, and the sketches timelly, which makes sense. Also it ads some buffer time between performers.

Anywho, commercial is over, back to some more fun

I just said awking. I'm a fork that combined awesome and rocking accidentally.

Finally getting situated

I'm pretty much moved in, today I bought some of those wire cubey things, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and hangers. Ahh, those hangers came in just in time.

Still, the neighboorhood is nice, and it's not noisy at all. My room is a bit isolated from the other rooms, so that is good. The sun shines here in the morning, but usually by that time, I have gone to work. Still, things are good.

There is a Target right near my house, and I also got some Chinese food today. Chinese Food = Happyness. Their chicken was just the way I liked. Yummm

Now, my stuff is drying, but I am just going to go to sleep.

Welcome to Irvine, where I live

I have officially moved to Irvine, California. I also work in Irvine, California. This all makes things very convenient for me.

I just got this place today. The rent is $595 a month for the room, and about $30 for utilities, and $20 for cable and internet. That's really not bad. The room size is just fine. The closet should have space for me to put all my stuff, I just have to buy some separators, and cubey things. That should be easy since there is a Target near here, which is good.

Anywho, I'm happy to have my own room, where I can put all my things up, and actually use closet space, instead of living out of my bag. Tomorrow, I have to do the laundry, since I am out of far too many things.

So far, things have been interesting, and while there were already some hardships, all is falling into place. :)

Goodbye.

Some odd side-effects

Ok, so the adaptation is completelly screwing up my eating habits.

I really no longer feel hunger, I just kinda have to figure out when I don't have to eat. Sometimes when I realize the time, and some other times because I start getting heartburn. Still it is just a tad weird.

Hopefully it doesn't mean anything bad, but hey, it's a whole new place, sitation, etc, etc.

Happy here I am so far. :)

The Woo

So, I ended up getting a lil bonus from work, and the big boss took me to buy some things. That was very woooo, hehe.

It's so early

Ohh when do I get paid?

So, we shall see if I get paid this friday, or 2 fridays from now. This shall prove very interesting indeed. Still, all good.

I really want to get my own room. i will probably end up getting something near the university, which should be cheap. I'm not really interested in sharing a room, but hey, if it comes down to that, then just fine. I've been looking at Orange county craigslist.

I've been using HousingMaps to try to get a place. It's nice and friendly, and the most feature that I love, is the fact that everything is mapped, and I can see things by price range. it's nice. Anywho, the hardest part is having to e-mail people, and trying to get everything settled.

Omg, an overcast day

Eeep, sleep shift

Still trying to catch up on my sleep.

Traffic is still crazy, and that's just fine.

Have to go to sleep now, woooo.

I just realized tat ralph's is kroger, but branded for the west. Still right store, right price

More familiar, as time goes along

So, today I finally get a chance to stop at the grocery store. My Kroger's plus card works over there, which is very interesting, but not a bit surprise since the Kroger Co. owns Ralph's. Still, it was nice to have virtually all the brands I knew, very close to me. It felt nice to have a place, that is not completelly alien.

Granted, IHOP wasn't an alien place either, it was just more expensive.

Also, one of my favorite shows, the closer, which deals with the LAPD, is filmed in the area. This made me feel even better.

Still, I keep waking up to nice sunny day, after nice sunny day. Trust me, I am NOT complaining, but sometimes those hazy days, with rain are useful. Still, there is no rain on the forecast for the next 10 days. *Le Sigh*

Another day in sunny LA
