Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays

2008-12-21T14:28:16Z

So, I'm home for the holidays... I don't know what's going on this week, but I'm here from last night to next Sunday. I'm hoping that OEJ is open on 80's night, but it is Christmas Day.

If anyone wants to hang out or something then you should let me know...

Otherwise... HAPPY YULE!

Your result for Zombie, Zombie Food, or Zombie Survivor Test...

The Survivor

You are a warrior, a survivor.

You are well prepared and knowledgable and will no doubt live a long and happy zombie-free life. You might want to think about setting up a zombie survival group in your area, an anti-undead militia. But please, for everyone's sake keep it low-key. We don't want the government to think we are on to their scheme so take your band and keep moving.

Good times for a change

Damn, the Dervish is closing. This is rough for me... Damn, I'm feeling so far away right now. And I am. Again, I feel so disconnected from my friends and family. I remember when the Crystal closed. I even went to the dark times, the Pendragon's Den months. It's hard for me to believe that soon it will all be gone. And I won't be there to send it off.

At least with the Shim Sham Club I was able to be the there for the night of 1000 degree rabble-rousing.

And at least it came back in some form (though never as good as the first time).

I am so depressed now it is sickning.

You can't go home again.

I'm special, so special...

How Pavlovian am I? I have been listening to 80's music all day and all I can think of is that I wanna go out drinking.

That's freaking awesome!

I'm right, I swear I'm right, swear I knew it all along.

Things I almost remember...

2007-11-25T04:19:56Z

Wow, do I have any friends on here anymore? I know I haven't posted in, like, a year or so. I decided that it was finally time to give a real LJ post letting people know what I'm up to and what I've been doing. Anyway, to start, Most people I know well know that I have a "new" girlfriend, Brenda. She's great but has been very sick recenty... we're hoping she feels better soon. Of course it's a long term problem and it means that my girlfriend cannot drink. Heh, who knew, Chris would have agirlfriend who couldn't drink. She doesn't mind hanging out with me while my other friends and I get our drink on. I still go out pretty regularly and it is becoming more of a problem as Winter rolls in, everyone knows I like to smoke like a chimney when I go out and Denver does not allow you to smoke in Bars. It's rediculous, firstthey close bars at 2am and now I can't smoke in them... Quite mad really.

The other big news that people may not know is that about 3 months ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I'm on medication for that and for High Blood Pressure... hmmmm... didn't have these problems when I was going out every night... Maybe the achoholism was doing me some good. Well, I still go out on Fridays and sometimes during the week. Usually if I'm out I can be found at Cafe Netherworld. No club going recently , we've been planning on getting out to the Shelter on Saturday sometime soon, but that was before Brenda got really sick.

More news, this LJ post is being brought to you by the way of my new laptop. Yes, I've finally gotten myself my own brand-spankin' new laptop. For the nerd-kin among you, it is a Dell Vostro, 2.0 GHz Duo Core, 2GB DDR2, 120GB HD, DVD Burner, Nvidia 8600m GT, 15.4" LCD Screen. It's got all of the other niceties, Wireless and even a built in WebCam. I loves it a whole bunch. So far it has played everything *I* have to throw at it at pretty much the highest settings, including Battlefield 2142 and Hellgate: London (which I just picked up). Of course I have my old staple, World of Warcraft. I do need to find a new server to play on with people I know though, so if you have any ideas, someone should let me know.

Besides that, not too much is going on. I have been pretty much living with Brenda now and I just brought Fionna to stay over here as well. The problem is that she has 3 cats already, the adjustment has been slow going, she has been hissing up a storm. We'll eventually get them all together as one big happy kitty family though, mark my words.

That's about everything, my job is kinda crappy sometimes. Like most jobs, it would be great if it weren't for my boss. He has a tendency to sit in the next room and listen to me work and over scrutinize EVERYTHING. This really sucks... Have you ever tried to concentrate on work when someone is spending their entire day staring at you... I don't mean that figuratively. His office is right behind mine and their is a window that leads from my office to his and his desk faces the window. He is RIGHT THERE, ALL THE TIME. Anyway, that's not going to change anytime soon and I deal with it because I don't wanna look for a new job. But he does piss me off sometimes.

Anyway, this is enough of my ranting self, though I guess it is about time that I did so. I'll talk to you later. How much later? Who knows...

I'll be in town this weekend. I will definitely be out on Friday and probably on Saturday. What's doing this weekend?

It'll be nice to be home.

You have to believe we are magic...

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Top 11 Reasons to Vote - Revised 2006 Edition

11. Because this is the most important election of our lifetime, (unlike, say, 1996, which was, like, totally lame. Why did they even have an election then?)
10. To shut up all those "If you didn't vote then you can't complain" people.
9. Because if you don’t vote, the terrorists win (unless you were going to vote for the terrorists, in which case they win anyway).
8. Because people in Iraq braved violence and long lines to vote for their ineffectual government, you don't have to brave either to vote for yours.
7. Because this year Al Franken will literally beat the shit out of you if you’re not wearing an “I Voted” sticker.
6. You would like a different politician lying to you for the next two/four/six years.
5. You want your voice to be heard, and the old woman down at the polling station can't leave her post so she'll have to listen.
4. You like to stand in line and pretend you're waiting for a Wii or Playstation III.
3. Perfect opportunity to check if your e-vote hack is in place.
2. Because you're tired of all the Republican scandals and abuses of power, and would like more Democratic scandals and abuses of power.
1. To relive those test taking days in college when you just filled in the circles randomly hoping to get some right.

You Are Corona

You don't drink for the love of beer. You drink to get drunk.
You prefer a very light, very smooth beer. A beer that's hardly a beer at all.
And while you make not like the taste of beer, you like the feeling of being drunk.
You drink early and often. Sometimes with friends. Sometimes alone. All the party needs is you!

What's Your Beer Personality?
