I found an old SG 2005 calendar with art by Rion Vernon, if anybody wants it let me know. I'm trying to get rid of stuff and I'd rather not throw it away or send it to goodwill to get thrown away.
so somebody gave me a free membership for three months...I don't know who but thanks! Anyway, quick update. Me and Lili moved up to Cheyenne Wyoming because CO was just too expensive for her to go to school and cheyenne was too far away to commute. I don't think its possible for us to have moved to a more boring town...wel, I suppose somewhere in Quebec or something since at least we speak the language here...anyway, our time limit is two years max. if we haven't left this place by January 2011 someone please come kidnap us! Anyway, I think I'm headed back to school as well. Mostly I am sick of working in retail but Idon't feel my skills are up to date enough to work in photography so hooray for more student loans! 
Well in addition to being out of touch SG wise, it turns out I've been WAY out of touch election wise. Colorado has a constitutional amendment (Number 48) on the ballot to Define a Person as any human from the moment of fertilization. In addition to banning abortion as a form of first degree murder it would have the far reaching consequences of rendering every woman of childbearing age automatically inferior. The right to privacy, medical, personal, and social would be subject to interpretation. And any republicans who vote for it would immediately divest their ties to the republican party because it would bloat the government and legal systems with new paperwork, offices and massive, drawn out legal battles over the constitutionality of the ammendment but also the far reaching effects of every person who has ever been conceived sic every person being 9 months older and having possibly been denied their right for those nine months.
I'm fuming about the whole thing.
Not to mention the fact that there is also an amendment to include the vocabulary "Preferential treatment" to the state's affirmative action amendment. Not only is it unnecessary because the term discrimination implies preference. It would FURTHER tie up our legal system with MORE affirmative action cases.
On a lesser note, The amendments to labor laws and casino laws a similarly annoying...
The labor amendment would prohibit mandatory labor union membership and dues but contains no clause that stipulates that anybody who does not belong to the union or pay the dues will also not receive the benefits of the union's representation.
And Extending the hours and types of games available in the gambling destinations of Colorado. Which basically allows the casinos to take more of their gamblers money, with tax benefits to the state of course. Sure, roulette and craps would be great for both the casinos and the state, especially when increasing the max bets to 100 dollars...The two games and, with the exception of slot machines, the most favorable to the house. So the casinos win, the state wins but the gamblers lose...substantially. And I've never heard of a gambler who did it to improve the states tax revenue.
I feel like a loser not knowing about these until I got the booklet.

I am currently supposed to be packing all my god awful amount of stuff since I have to be out of here on saturday. It is a daunting task and nearly complete...for now.
Here's how it is. I am moving in with my lady, to a sweet loft apartment with a spiral staircase and fireplace, at the of July. I will repeat I have to be out of here by Saturday...for those among you who are chronologically chellanged, that's 2 months gap. So I am moving in with my lady to her current house...but the stupid annoying drunk roommate is coming with us because she couldn't find a place because she didn't specify to our landord that staying until AUGUST was the plan...whatever though. whatever...
in other news...How can anybody in america because under the age of 50 and not know how to use a computer? I'll be more specific...how can anyone under the age of 50 who has had a job in the last 30 years not know how to use a computer? I mean, seriously...I suppose if you have worked only shitty retail jobs for the past 30 years you might not, but many employers switched to computerized schedules ages ago...WTF?

Looking for an apartment is hard! We've been to a dozen places probably and they fall into two categories 1. Beautiful but slightly (or entirely) out of our price range or 2. Complete dumps that we wouldn't live in if they were free.
Okay that's not entirely true, a couple were dumps that were way over priced ($950 for a two bedroom with appliances that could be easily outstripped by something from a thrift store and cheap doors and carpet) and there was a semi nice place that was an okay price but the floor plan was rubbish.
Most likely we will just take the slightly out of range one, get second jobs and live off ramen and frozen burritos.
Dude what is the deal with Penny Arcade?

So if anybody has really paid attention to my profile my big grin is for the fact that I lost my virginity...fucking finally. I mean, I wouldn't say I was in a huge hurry because I felt like I hadn't really found the girl that made me feel like I wanted to rip her clothes off so when I finally DID meet that girl it was totally awesome! Not to mention she had two orgasms! Thank you internet for teaching me those lovely tricks, particularly Babeland!
She has a real hatred for valentines day and thinks that anything done on a holiday of obligatory affection is likely to feel cheapened so we aren't getting together, although she's also got class so that makes things tough. Poor girl has to do couples massages all night. Poor thing.
