I just spent the last few minutes private messaging former friends and lovers to please unfriend me from LiveJournal. Not too long ago I noticed the number of people who friended me was astounding; People I used to know through LJ or in real life; People I never spoke to ever; People I just need to move away from because the past is the past and I ( Read more... )

Yesterday Kevin and I went to BestBuy so that he could take advantage of a 10% off coupon. While we were there he made a bee-line for the flat-screen TVs, and I ran toward the video game section of the store. There, I came across a married couple discussing prices of XBox 360 controllers. The husband and wife were discussing the pluses and minuses ( Read more... )

I'm glad this Christmas is done. I think the past few years I was getting tired of looking for "that perfect gift" or "finding the perfect sale" or making sure that the gifts I bought for my friends were relevant for their personalities. It is also tough being away from my mom, who really cannot handle the loneliness of this holiday since her ( Read more... )

I just wrapped Kevin's presents for Christmas. Much to my surprise, I didn't freak out when things didn't go right, like I tend to do. Now, since I rarely wrap anything, the first present I wrapped was the most jacked-up. I mean...I seriously underestimated the amount of paper I needed. I had to cut a strip of paper to cover the exposed area of the ( Read more... )

I had an interesting, depressing weekend:

• On Friday I received a panicked email from my mom stating that Julie the cockatiel was very close to death. I called my mom on Saturday and she was an emotional wreck. Maybe her feelings would have been buffered by time and acceptance, but I called her one hour after the bird died in her hands. Mom was not ( Read more... )

I was experiencing insomnia, like I usually do, last night. I tried to go to sleep at 11pm, but I tossed and turned for a while. I knew that this would be a difficult night for me to attempt falling asleep, so I went downstairs. I surfed the internet for about ninety minutes, and then went back upstairs. But this time, it was close to 2am ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Steve and Bob, and Kevin and I went to the state fair. We drove in Steve's SUV, which was pretty nice, since those vehicles have large spaces for each passenger. I can understand why they are popular...even though they are immensely fuel inefficient. I guess people also cannot be asked to sit too close to other passengers, in this ( Read more... )

I can always tell when I'm feeling depressed. During these times, I don't feel like uploading my LJ. I think it is because I feel that there is "nothing going on in my life" that feels like being documented. There was a few incidences I came here to type something, but then I talked myself out of it because those respective posts would have felt ( Read more... )

Yay! I had a dream that Kevin and I were somewhere in a tropical ocean swimming around an oil rig. I don't know why were were both doing that. Perhaps we were both working on the rig to drill for oil. I have a feeling that this dream originally started out as an environmental critique dream, but changed over to a personal one ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Kevin and I finally decorated the Christmas tree. We started in the late evening, and were done soon after. Him and I were just having a really good time placing the decorations on the tree. Much to my surprise, the tree (with the decorations) actually looks decent. The large ornaments filled in the gaps; that pleased me considering ( Read more... )
