did I mention that hoggle got rear-ended in silver spring at the end of august? RIGHT?!!? NEW CAR! LET’S DAMAGE IT!!! I was really pissed off but the man was very nice about everything and obviously since he hit me while I was stopped at a red light it was his fault. but still, started september going to an auto place for a nationwide quote -_-

first monday (labor day), saw the original TRON in theatres with jemaine which was cool. I’d never seen it before. dropped off hoggle to get fixed, picked him up a couple days later good as new! went to ikea with jemaine, and had a horrible experience. oh yes, I’m going to tell you about it.

originally it was just going to be the two of us, but jemaine’s friend needed to get a couch or something and of course I had no problem with that. I told jemaine I’d be there before 1pm and we would leave at 1pm. however, when I got there he was playing fez (his friend just watching) and we ended up leaving 15 minutes late. on top of that, his friend didn’t have a car so jemaine drove and I followed (I needed space in my car for furniture) – I TOLD him not to drive like he normally does (like an aggressive jackass) because I didn’t know how to get to ikea. first right turn, what does he do? go before a shit-ton of traffic. thankfully he pulled into a side street a few blocks down, but c’mon. I JUST said I had to follow him.

we got there and started looking around. things didn’t start irritating me until we got to the warehouse area. jemaine’s friend was looking up stuff on the computer and instead of helping me load my first items (right by the computer), jemaine hung around his friend staring at the screen. when they got all the info they needed, jemaine was like “let’s go to this aisle” and his FRIEND was like “kaese isn’t one of your pieces right here?” yeah… and then the FRIEND helped me load the cart – this guy I’ve only met once helped load my cart instead of the friend I was supposed to move in with. awesome.

so after much loading and pushing of carts, we got into line. jemaine’s friend was taking a long time because he had a lot of stuff and also had to go through the delivery line. since I knew I’d be waiting for awhile, I told jemaine I was going to try to load my car by myself. he said cool. I got down to the parking garage, brought hoggle around to the loading area, and went to work. finally got all the furniture loaded and perfect timing, jemaine texted me: “you do self?” I replied “yeah and I’m really thirsty now.” drove hoggle back to where jemaine and I had parked and I couldn’t find jemaine’s car. just then a torrential downpour started outside. soooo glad I was in the garage. I called jemaine, voicemail. he called me back and I asked where he was and he said something along the lines of “lol in this horrible rain!” and I went ballistic.

needless to say I wasn’t a happy camper when I got back to his place to unload the car. the guys did most of the moving which was nice, but I was still kind of pissy. though I ended up hanging out at jemaine’s while he took his friend home. I gave him some money for soda and watched doctor who. his fuck buddy came by once he was home, then he and I watched doctor who.

sunday I had brunch with zanzibar and our mutual friend (rafael’s again, mmm eggs benedict and cheesy hashbrown balls) which was a lot of fun. caught up on a lot!

ok more later… tired of writing lol

I think I need to make a new category called “catch up” ugh. four months? really, four months? where have I been all this time? well, living life. mostly.

alright shitheads, let’s do this by month. IT’S GOING TO GET LONG-WINDED AND ANNOYING SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAKE THIS INTO A DRINKING GAME TO EASE THE PAIN.

JUNE

went to a comedy show with everyone for a friend’s birthday. saw um… mickey? from that morning show? it was alright. had pho with jose. that was amazing. because pho is the best. I just noticed jose doesn’t have a nickname, though I don’t think that’s an issue since I pretty much don’t talk to him ever now. ANYWAY. I met jemaine’s daughter, jenova (that’s actually her middle name, how cool is that?). babysat her. well, slept over while she was also asleep lol. apparently I also went out to dinner with bigwerm twice (moby dick once, which was amazing kabob food. but there was another kabob place with devastatingly delicious hummus and I can’t remember the name dammit), kitti (and also a movie but can’t remember which one?), then there’s a weird note about “jemaine movie FAQ time travel” and I have NO IDEA what that’s about. OH WAIT YES THAT’S THE NAME OF THE MOVIE – frequently asked questions about time travel. haha, that movie was awesome. had pancakes with the DJ. um. I don’t know if that’s his actual nickname. I can’t remember.

JULY

july 2, 2012 I got in a car wreck and seraphina was totaled. JUST LOOK AT HER FACE. and her at the tow place. and all the airbags that deployed. boooo. I got an airbag burn on my left wrist that’s still discolored, but I like to use it as a reminder that you can’t trust other drivers. so I spent the 3rd getting a rental car and going to the clinic to make sure I didn’t have any internal bleeding (no probs, follow-up was clean as well). 4th of july I did nothing because frankly I wasn’t in a good mood :P

oh! friday the 13th I met up with a new guy from okcupid who had a lisp and didn’t tell me about it before and… that was a complete shocker. I couldn’t get over him saying my name with his lisp; kind of sounded like homestar O_o the mini-golf was fun and he was a nice guy but just didn’t really feel anything.19th met mike (another from okc) and he was pretty cool. I think … first black guy I went on a date with? I’m not counting eli because he’s mixed lol. HALFBREEDS DON’T COUNT!!!! so mike, he was entertaining but after texting with him a little longer I realized I wasn’t going to be into him.

in the meantime, I had to get another car!!! I decided to go with a hyundai accent hatchback this time because there weren’t many rio5’s around that were close to base and that’s what I wanted. meet hoggle. there was only ONE thing I really hated about hoggle, and that was he didn’t have the sunshade extending capabilities that seraphina had. sooooo I visited seraphina at the car graveyard to get the sunshades lol. thankfully, nothing was electrical and the kia rio5 and hyundai accent hatch are really similar and it was an easy switch. so now there’s a part of seraphina in hoggle. she will live on!

had crepes with the DJ at crepes-a-go-go which was amazinngggggg. I need more crepes in my life lol! went to a german fest with zanzibar JUST to eat brats and kraut. so good. I love my german-nessness. OH! that weekend, parents were coming into town because then dad could sign hoggle’s paperwork with me (and they were visiting anyway to drop off my niece axle…) but they had car trouble (chas’ car) and they ended up DRIVING BACK HOME THEN DRIVING ALL THE WAY HERE. they were on the road foreverrrrr but they made it here safely. so yeah. they were visiting. signed for the car, had dinner at sakura which was fun.

AUGUST

aug 1st had dinner at olive garden with the family. had an early dinner thursday at panera (kitti met the folks) then went to china moon on friday. we like to go out to dinner when there’s company lol. saturday I had a day to myself with my parents and sadly I can’t remember what we did. I’m sure I had fun :| sunday we went to aunt and uncle’s house and dad got to see his cousin he hadn’t seen since he was like 8yrs old or something. bigwerm had a birthday, I saw the final batman movie with the great-big-bushy-beard guy, and we also went to mcginty’s for dinner. I had the guiness beef stew and it was perfect. I want more just thinking about it. side note, bushy-beard had a little emotional breakdown when SPOILER ALERT batman supposedly died. I was surprised because guys aren’t supposed to have feelings but it was nice that he was comfortable enough around me to let go lol.

kitti had a birthday, chasbot had a birthday, DJ had a birthday. omg though… I went up to DJ’s house for his party and the door was locked. the music was so loud, after banging on the door, ringing the doorbell, texting and calling DJ with no response, I just left. it was probably for the best. I hate dancing >.> oh, the friday before DJ’s party I visited with eli which was nice. I don’t see him often enough. we built some furniture then went to this nice little mediterranean bistro down the street from him. OH AND I GOT A FULL TIME JOB. first official day was the 20th. go, me. DJ felt bad about me missing his party, so I took him out for dinner at kentland’s diner (I think this is the place).

I don’t want to talk about september yet; I’m already out of steam and I didn’t even say anything interesting :(

friday after work I picked up zanzibar’s car because hers would fit a desk and side table…

saturday I left the house at 7:45am, got my friend in baltimore, drove to annapolis to get the desk, drove around downtown a bit to enjoy the scenery (was trying to go to chick & ruth’s but downtown was just too crowded and I got anxious), drove back to MC, had sushi at a buffet, went back to my place and moved the furniture in my room, drove friend back to baltimore, returned zanzibar’s car, and drove back home. all in all, was in the car for over six hours. it sucked. I need to stop driving around so much. it costs too much and wears me outttttt. no more day trips. that’s it. the end. for reals this time.

sunday I slept in a bit (totally needed after saturday), straightened up things, ate too much junk food, had my friend joe over to watch ice pirates (pretty much a cheesy 80’s flick making fun of star wars and the like), caught up a bit, played monkey island on the ps3 (the revamped original), then he left around 6:30pm. I ate dinner and cleaned up a bit more, updated my okcupid profile (says I’m looking for long-term dating again… because katsu still hasn’t messaged me), texted with journey (who I still feel awkward around/texting whatever laskdjlksfjasldkf ) then passed out.

and now it’s monday, and I had great plans of doing a 2012 rio5 review but now I’m grumpy and tired and my allergies are noticeable today. grumble grumble. so I’m not doing any of that stuff. so there >.< but here’s my steering wheel cover (Photo0592 currently missing) that I wrapped with ribbon! =^_^= actually can’t decide if I wanna go black and pink as my color scheme, or black and blue/teal… like a nice #02A7E1 or maybe #0078AD. decisions!!!!!!
