Livejournal, school, Mexico, bikes, computer, work, Food not Bombs, mom, me
Hey. Remember when you had Regina Spektor on your friends page?
Well she's back.
I've been thinking about writing in this since... well essentially since I stopped. Especially since I left you all on such a depressing note (see: I don't have a girlfriend volume 12 [Derek]). But I got a nudge [Savanah] so I thought I'd do one of the kajillion things that makes daily appearances onto my mental to do list.
If I do make an actual (more than one entry) comeback, expect a large friend edit soon. I'll probably take you off my list if I don't know you in real life. I'll also probably take you off if I don't see you more than twice a year. I'll also probably take you off if I feel like it. I just remember I could sit at the computer and actually read entries in real time and never stop as long as I was occupied with one smaller task such as freecycle emails/Food not Bombs stuff. So yeah I haven't the time for that. I already removed all my groups (except jumping picture cause I mean, how could I right?). I'm actually not sure how mean I'm gonna be when I cut friends. I know I'm not going to have the heart to cut a lot of you, even though I probably should (no offense, I still love you all, just some journals are more applicable to me more than others).
So on to my life. I started my last semester at RCC and graduate in December with an AS, AA, & Human Services Certificate. I'm not walking cause it's community college (oh boo-hoo). I apply in the next couple weeks for Spring at UCSC and UCD. I won't actually know if they accept new entries to the Community Development programs yet and if so I have gotten really attatched to Riverside lately and might stay till next fall. Who knows, one step at a time.
Speaking of being attached to Riverside, I've been riding with the Riverside Cycledelics (who I never would have joined if it weren't for livejournal [Christy!]) when I'm not attending/studying for school. We had a carnival last night and it was a huge success. We made enough money to cover all of our entries to ride in the Rosarito to Ensenada ride this weekend plus insurance.
By the way! I'm probably going to Mexico this weekend, how awesome is that? I haven't been since I was a child, and that was Tijuana, which is pretty much California with Mexican laws.
{aside} I think another reason I haven't been on livejournal (or the computer in general) is that this computer keeps restarting and the internet is slow or disconnecting all the time (it's cable, and moderately fast cable at that, so what the heck?) so it's frustrating to do anything except play facebook scrabble or check my email.
Anyway yeah, Mexico this weekend, depending on what happens at my job interview tomorrow. Oh yeah, I have a job interview at Clark's tomorrow. I might cut my hair, or at least trim it between then and now. But yeah. I also put one in at Trader Joe's. I would prefer Trader Joe's but they haven't called me yet (they'll be getting a call in about 9 hours). So I'm pretty excited about that. If worst comes to it I could probably get a job at that Mother's that's opening up on Indiana. That actually wouldn't be worst, except that I don't know when it will finally open. I am excited about them opening too.
Food not Bombs is doing well. We catered this California-wide Green Party meeting a couple weekends ago, and that's mostly to Kelley we pulled it off wonderfully, and got some cash to re-invest into FnB (by the way, Kelley, I still have your mixing bowl, canvas bag, and olive oil). Right now it's Trisha, Paul, and I with some help from Tom, Jon, Kelley, & others when they get a chance. I have a feeling we're going to expand because a lot of people seem interested, but have been too busy to come out (or something).
[EDIT]My mom had surgery last week on her rotator cuff/scapula (shoulder blade). *icky warning skip ahead now* her bone was growing rigidly and essentially turned her arm into a tissue saw every time she reached out. So she can't move her arm but is doing well and in less pain everyday.
Still an omnivore, still getting called or asked if I am vegan once a week. Still not going to church. Still playing magic when I have time/money/company. Still missing those I haven't seen in a while. Still never wanting the good times to end. Still hiking. Still walking the streets at 3:00AM. Still climbing trees. Still poor & unemployed (for now). Still overly logical. Still semi-schizotypal. Still searching for answers. Still loving and hating the world. No longer playing piano. No longer reading books (soon to change I hope). Let me know how you are and if you read this, and it might encourage me to read and write again.
Mostly the same, but always changing.
