So here I am in portland. This whole thing is surreal. Seriously; my brain is telling me that I am here only for only two weeks and that I have to return to work on the 23rd... it is really kicking my ass.
The drive up here wasn't bad. I spent two days in LA for ICYPAA, got to see my friend Noah which was...

I am disconnecting my internet tomorrow, but packing my computer today. This will be my last post until sunday with a CRAZY update about how the trip from San Diego to Portland went.
Thanks for everyone in SD who has been a helping hand through all my tribulations. I'll miss you deeply.
Mark my words... I will be back...

hey.. i work all week you should stop by and have a drink with me... what do you say?
This is where I am... I am going to have to move since I couldn't find a job in time...
So I will probably move back here next summer. That's just fine with me. I talked to my friend Lisa (who lives in Spanish Harlem and I absolutely love) and she told me that she still plans on moving out here next year. I am...

I get restless, but now all I want is to stay in one place for a while... granted I wasn't moving around as much as you did, but sometimes you just want 'home' to be 'home' for longer than 6 months.
luthie:
Woo! Looking forward to it
Oh my God... My week has been going so good that I almost don't believe it. Lets start it off:
Went to the movers yesterday... they told me that they will pack and move me on the date requested (29 August) and store my items for 90 days... free of charge! I just contact their office when I am ready for a delivery and they...

Woo Woo times three, cause you might be having lunch with me. I know you keep forgetting to add that into your journal entries when it rolls around 
Glad to hear things are FINALLY going your way. Shit, it's about time! Tell them to be careful with your bike otherwise you'll have to test the range of motion on various human joints of the staff there
And I'm wishing you the best of luck for your placement tests for Portland CC. You'll do fantastic, I'm sure, but you can never have too much support can you? GO YOU!
Really, it is good to hear things are finally going good for you. Some good fortune sure was in your cards.
PS: Your new picture.. attitude much? I'm just teasing.

Moving. To. Portland. 15 days. Who then now bitches?
I went to the moving office today; should have all the information about the move tomorrow. I pray they get it done quickly so I can get north by sept 2nd. CAN NOT WAIT!
In other news, people have decided to become a major prick since I am leaving this place. Straight up: someone told me...

well, you'll still be like a 3 hour drive from me, but that's not too bad, right?

I lived in PDX I hope you love it! Good luck with your move
I have been in a wierd mood... had a long conversation with someone the other night and basically I have been humbled by how selfish I am.
in other news, I saw on the news some weapons were lost in Iraq. So I started researching... here is my conclusions:
the U.S. Government loss tally is as follows (minimum losses):
-16.3 billion dollars lost (that's 16,300,000,000...

we "lost" that much equipment?
really? what'd we do, just set it down in the sand and walk away?
geez.
Anyways, I met someone interesting recently.(who's not my 'type' at all but We get along fabulously and there's an attraction, but it's not particularly physical. It's kind of weird. I' think I'm not ready to interact with anyone on that level right now. yea...
(I don't know if that's an excuse or a reason.) either way, I'm hesitating. [there's more than just the surface hesitation with this.] (It's also not fair to inflict my notknowingwhatI'mdoingwithmyself on anyone else. )
and most people are completely normal when you meet them. It's after you know them that they become weird. Maybe it's just that they hide their insecurities until they feel you can be trusted and then wehn they start being themselves, you're offended and put off because it's entirely different than the person they were pretending to be?

*sigh* So here is some heavy shit going on...
This woman flew out from Texas a few days ago. She claimed to have a premonition of a terrorist attack. She gave more details, but I will not release them here. Normally, such a thought would have been dismissed as quickly as it was introduced, but appearently someone in a position of power had the SAME...

30 days until I move! SUPER EXCITED!!! I have decided I am going to Sweden next summer, for at least one month. My plan is to do my two weeks of reserve drilling before I have to leave, visit my family in NY, then take off and travel through Sweden. I need to research how this backpacking thing works, because it would be really cool...

Good God boy (yeah sorry about taking the Lord's name in vain.. 
) you are good lookin' 
And in your plans, you forgot to mention the "have lunch with Luthie while I'm in New York" thing. That's okay, I know you meant to put it in there.
You crack me up "And if it does.. fuck you." My hero.
Go get your sleeve finished, come see me in NY, plan your fun for Sweden next summer, and bask in the glory that is moving away from that shitcan in 30 days.
I'm glad you're finding some peace

It's funny, that's exacctly what I had said when I saw the video too..
I had an epiphany today. I really am sick of this town/area. Seriously. I'm sick of the flakes. I am sick of people telling me we can hang out and never call... and all they did was veg on the couch. I am sick of people judging other people for no reason, im sick of all the extra bullshit that exists out here compared to...

Places you abhor and unfortunately, live in, absolutely suck. I feel your pain, been there, done that sweetheart.
All I can say is look forward to getting the fuck out of there
I had this comment all planned out, I was gonna sweep in, say "what's cookin' good lookin'?" and then sweep back out.. but, not this time. Don't let that shithole get to you, you'll be out soon enough.
I'm thinkin of ya, and I'm in your corner.

soooo busy. I taught my first CPR class today to 3 of my workers... and it went pretty awesome. I got it knocked out in 2 hours, and everyone said the same thing: "I learned more in your two hour class then I did in the two day class taught out in town."
Nifty.

I hope your birthday was awesome, and that the ladies at the titty bar were good
I think the person I asked to be my date is gonna say no. That's okay, I'm secure in being the single, dateless bridesmaid...
You have no idea how proud of you I am-- you took a chance moving to Portland even when you weren't sure it was the right thing to do. I remember doing it when I moved here, and I have a lot of adoration for people who would take a chance and see what happens.
Like I said-- you're my hero!
