“Friends are like tampons, every pussy has one.”
– Says a huge sticker on the back window of a random car in Poway. That quote was so good, you wanted everyone on the road to see it? Really?

I need to go check out this karaoke, stat. NEED TO.
All moved!
So we’re all moved in. Still tons of unpacking to do, but for the most part we’re getting settled quickly.
I’ve only been a Banker’s Hill resident for less than a weekend, and I’m already IN LOVE. The *only* downside I’ve seen so far is the ambulence noise, as we’re on a main thoroughfare for cops and ambulences to go up to the hospital. Other than...

Darkfall: wow....
You can’t loot a target with your weapon drawn. When monster or players die, they leave a tombstone which can be looted by pressing the use key. When the loot box open, this will put you into UI mode, so you will not be able to move or do anything. You also need to open your backpack (Default B button) and manually drag and drop the items from their corpse to your bag one at a time.

Fanfarlo - The Walls Are Coming Down
Re: Facebook - settle the fuck down.
“I am going to quit Facebook, they’re going to steal my stuff!”
“OMG I can’t believe they’ll own everything EVEN AFTER I QUIT.”
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard claims like this in the past few days. Here are the facts:
It’s legal jargon, it makes perfect sense. Yes, they own the COPY of your text in THEIR database. Yes, they...
Former lives.
So here I am, packing up our belongings into boxes and preparing them to move to our new place this weekend. I’m going through the closet, and I can’t help but see all of Luke’s shoeboxes and containers full of what I think is probably old photos and keepsakes. Two thoughts come to me:
1) I can’t believe that I no longer have anything from highschool or earlier. Several...
Weekend recap
This weekend I….
Went to see Friday the 13th, and it was better than I expected and actually decent.
Went to the stable to see Finnegan in preparation of a woman coming out to see him to possibly take him on Sunday.
Went to eat at In-n-Out, mmmmmmm.
Went to Home Depot and bought paint and supplies to paint with.
Went down to the loft and taped the walls and laid down plastic for...
Every once in awhile someone asks me to sing on a...
“It’s such a wonderful and unfamiliar feeling to miss the person...”
“You know you go to Starbucks too much when….you’re on a first name...”
Sickness.
I found out yesterday that my dad is really sick. He has sarcoidosis, which is when you get little collections of immune cells that hang out by various organs and make them have to work harder. He’s had it for at least 15 years now, but it was always around his heart. Sometimes he’d have to go in and have his esophagus stetched, but it was never a ‘big deal’ kind of...
Valentine's Day Hate
Ah Valentine’s Day. The time when all the single people come out of the woodwork to talk about how pointless the holiday is. How you should “love” your partner every day of the year, not just on Feb 14th.
Here’s the deal. V-Day isn’t a day when you love the person you’re with more. It’s just one day set aside to appreciate them. There’s only...
“This is the second notice that your factory warranty on your vehicle is about to...”
– FIVE of these fucking calls today. FIVE. Fuck you scammers.
Retention center? Noooo...I just want to cancel...
Me: I'm calling to cancel my service with you guys.
CSR: Oh, why?
Me: It's not available in the area I'm moving to.
CSR: Oh okay, one moment while I transfer you to our retention center.
Alas, the weekend is over.
What a lazy, rainy, weekend. This weekend I….
Played some WoW and got some upgrades.
Went to lunch with Luke
Went out for pancakes with Luke’s coworkers and friends.
Watched all of The Real World and got caught up.
Watched a crazy documentary about Ethiopian women with no access to health care.
Watched a lot of HGTV.
Took a nap, which I haven’t done in a long time.

– Afterword of Leslie Feinburg’s Stone Butch Blues. Probably one of the most emotional books I’ve ever read.
A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum is probably...

I may be joining Weight Watchers just to get that extra kick in the butt. Anyone have any input? Yay or nay?
I did Weight Watchers Online and definitely saw success with it. Really, just the tracking of everything you eat each day is helpful and having point values really makes you think before putting things in your mouth. If you’re pretty easily motivated, just...
overrated.
Two things I think are overrated:
1) Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. C’mon Tumblr, you really let me down here. I expected something awesome, instead I felt like I was watching a sleepover movie.
2) This whole Christian Bale meme. I’m ready for it to be done, I’m over it.
That’s all. <3

frontierpsychiatrist:
I got Animal Collective.
Guess this is a sign to finally get out there and buy a copy of Merriweather Post Pavilion.
I got Andrew Bird, whom I listen to all the time. I guess Last.FM just doesn’t know that.
This is a song that Amy Lee from Evanescence wrote...

Wow, what a worthwhile study THAT was.
