I Find Myself Back Here Again...
So I know it's been forever since I've updated this thing, but a lot has been on my mind lately and I figured I might as well use this damn journal again.
I might as well start with the more significant stuff...
It's a New Year. It's been that for actually a whole month now... the Holidays have come and gone once more and I've just yet to have updated but oh well. February 2008 is officially here now, my least favorite month in what has so far been a pretty poor start to a new year. I did get to go to Big Bear a few weeks ago with a whole bunch of friends and got to experience snowfalls and sledding so that was pretty awesome, but other than that and a few decent movies... so far, this year's sucked. And I know it's only been one month, but February's the worst of them all and it's here now. Oh well, just 29 days to go until one of the most pointless months of them all... MARCH!
On a more random note: My left lower eyelid has been twitching now for about 5 or 6 days on and off and it's been driving me absolutely crazy. It's hard to concentrate on anything when one of your eyes keeps freaking out all the time. If I had medical insurance, I'd strongly consider going to a doctor, but I don't, so I won't... apparently it's just stress induced anyways. I really don't think I'm any more or less stressed out right now than I usually am, but whatever.
I just got some crazy news today from my old roommate Sean, I guess one of our mutual friends from our dorm Freshman year, this great guy who's been a really close friend of ours all throughout college, Vincent Nguyen, he was driving down the 405 freeway Southbound back in early Jan. and I guess some random guy rear ended his car. When Vince got out of his car to approach the other guy after they had both pulled over, the guy in the other car pulled out a gun and shot at him! He got hit in the jaw apparently and was taken to the hospital and everything. He's alive, and from what me and my UCI friends know, he's doing better and is back home out of the hospital now. They apparently caught the guy who shot him and arrested/booked him for attempted murder and stuff... but HOW FUCKING INSANE IS THAT?! Poor Vincent is such a great great guy and is so brilliant, he was an A student all throughout college and now I just hope he's able to continue doing everything he was doing before this happened. I have no idea if he can even eat, breath, speak, or do most other things he was able to do before the shooting, but I'm assuming if he's back home, it's not all that bad. I'm just glad he's okay. I'm supposed to go down to visit him with my roommates this Sat. Sick bastards in this world who'll shoot you on the side of the freeway after they hit your car... I mean, wtf?! Crazy guy deserves to have his face shot too and then to have Vincent take a bat to his car for like an hour. Oh well.
In other news, I have a terrible aching feeling in my heart... my mind and my heart have been on friends lately that I've been missing horribly. Carli and Rachel, Liza and Austine and Kelly and Sam... where the hell has the time gone? Carli especially.... I fucking miss you so damn much it's incredible. If you only knew. I have no way of getting a hold of you and I hate it more than anything. Rachel, I'm gonna do all I can to save up and be able to come visit you again. I miss you and I loved Michigan, and this time... I wanna meet more of your friends and actually get to hang out with them! Liza, I love you and miss you and you need to call me... Austine and Kelly and Sam, I've not forgotten about any of you, I love you all so so much.
I still am at AccessIT. They recently fired 7 people. Not just temps too, like shift leads and everything, it was crazy ass news, really outta nowhere, but it happened and yet for some reason neither Colin nor I can understand completely, they decided to keep both Colin and myself. We're apparently good employees and since we're both still temps now (yes, that's right... both over a year and still haven't been hired on officially yet), I guess they can exploit us longer now. I've enjoyed being back on the evening shift immensely but it's been pretty routine. Not much else to talk about work-wise... it's the same old crap I guess. There's a few things I could get into about it but I'll save that for another night.
I have a potential "thing" set up for the 11th, so we'll see how that goes... it's local here in the SCV and it's film-related, but other than that I have no knowledge of it really whatsoever. Dunno what's gonna happen with that.
Still single too, but what else is new? Oh yeah! Todd's got a girlfriend now! I'm so happy for him, but I've yet to meet her. I figure that's alright though, cuz what I'm sure she doesn't yet realise, is if they're gonna be dating for a while, she's just inherited another best friend by association. Cuz nobody's dating MY best friend without becoming buddy buddy with moi! I'm sure she's awesome as everyone says and all... I just can't wait to gossip with her about Todd hehehe.
Lost is back on the air again! Even if it is a few more episodes, it'll hopefully tide me over for a while until this Writer's Guild Strike Ends (which it hopefully will quite soon...). The Office and Heroes though... I've gotta wait forever for those to be back on :( I fully support my fellow writers, I hope they get what they're fighting for, I fully understand how hard they work and how underappreciated they are, but that's another story.
I need to exercise more. My xbox 360 is gonna be my date this Valentine's Day. And ummm yeah that's about it really. That's all for now.
