I’m soo sorry!

Oh my, it’s been that long? Ok, let me do a bit of explanin’. It’s been really hard to blog lately, especially with some of the events happening around me. I had one of those small freak-out moments that made me question about keeping this blog running and crawl into a drama queen filled hole of “GOAWAY”. I suppose it wasn’t enough of a freak out since I’m still writing. Yes, I’m intentionally being very vague about it.

Let’s move on to funnier stupid randomness (because really, that’s the point of my blog: being pointless).

I bought a Dell Mini 9. The keyboard too small or my fingers are too fat. Carpal tunnel is now settling in. Computer is hella cute though, and it makes me feel like a giant! A giant with a laptop.

I’ve been limiting the amount of TV that I’ve been consuming. It seems like my pattern lately have been Anime, cancelled Brian Fuller series (Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies) and The Guild. I’m getting annoyed at all my other regular shows. For example, my annoyance with EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in Grey’s Anatomy and my disinterest in 24 was something I never thought was possible.

I’ve promised myself that I won’t be upgrading my phone this year. If you know me well enough, this is a very unlikely thing to happen. I usually have a new phone every year and two in some years. However, new phones are creeping themselves into my life and I’m starting to get gadget lust again. It’s only February for God’s sake!!

Cheryl and I saw a movie this last weekend. We saw a pregnant lady whip out an empty moldy popcorn bag, turn to her friend and said, “Hey! Want some popcorn?” She then went out, got a “refill” of popcorn, ate it before the previews finished, went back to get another refill and proceeded to empty the bag into their bellies. Yum! Yuck!

Edward Cullin’s Blog Posts

Since there was a lot of back and forth staring in the Twilight movie, I wanted to help audiences by filling in the silent gaps with my own interpretation.

Cafeteria Staring Contest

Dear blog,

Today, some pale looking chick was staring at me across the cafeteria. Why is she staring at me? I checked in the bathroom and I didn’t have anything on my face. I tried to stare back but the plan kinda backfired; she just kept staring back at me. Dude, I’d so get killed in a staring contest with her.

My eyes hurt, too much staring.

Heard some kids talking and saying that she moved here from Arizona. I wonder if they’re all that pale in Arizona?!

Science Sucks, but trucks suck more!

Dear blog,

Today, that creepy out of town girl sat beside me in science lab. She’s weird and smells like diner food. I don’t understand why she constantly tries to talk to me. Like I really care about science, I’m like 10,000 years old! I pwn you science!

Frick! Later that day, that same crazy staring girl was so spaced out that she didn’t see a truck hurdling towards her. C’mon! A truck spinning out of control and your first reaction was to stand there and play statue? I totally saved her with the super strength and ish. Yeah, that’s right! Edward = the man!

Hamburgers, Fries and Weird Girls

Dear blog,

So this chick Bella, she’s kinda cute right? So since I really don’t have much to do at night, I go into her room and just stare at her (that’s one way to win a staring contest) and watch her while she sleeps. Creepy and fun at the same time! A guy has to have hobbies right?

Anyway, she started talking in her sleep about hamburgers and fries. Man this girl really likes diner food.

Ok, nuff blogging. Gonna go roll in my space-age old person car.

25 random facts meme

So I got tagged to do this meme through facebook (is that even a “legal” tag). I tend to pick and choose which meme’s I give in to and this sounded like an interesting challenge.

Here is how it works:

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged (which I am not going to do).

So in no particular order.

1. I don’t like watching UFC. In my head, it’s pretty pointless but I watch anyway because I like hanging out with the guys, actually in reality this goes for most sports like Hockey, Basketball, and Football. Exceptions to the rules? Soccer and tennis.
2. A small part of me wishes that I had the skills to cosplay. Not so much making the costumes but wearing the cool gear!
3. I’m easily annoyed but I won’t show it unless you were a really good friend. Office politics and condescending attitudes get me heated every time. The good thing is, my annoyance diffuses within a few hours/days.
4. [edited - 'cause I care too much about Karry's (my manager's) sanity] Here’s a new one. This is the first time I’ve ever edited a post’s content. Technically I could’ve kept it up but really the hassle isn’t worth it. I kinda feel a little dirty.
   
5. I’m not a big sleeper. I like giving my body enough time to rest but anything more than that feels like I’m wasting life. Yea, I’m one of those people.
6. I’m obsessed with long-ish hair. I wish I had the head to pull it off without looking like a girl or a cross-dresser with a bad wig. I obsessed about Tom Cruise’s hair in Mission Impossible 2 for a long time. Maybe way too much for a heterosexual male.
7. I have a weird habit with pillow corners that I’ve apparently had since I was a baby. I chew them (or at least, it looks like I chew them).
8. I still watch Anime. Sometimes I watch the kind with robots, ninjas and magic but mostly I’m obsessed with the high school drama types. That being said, I loath soap operas in general.
9. I like fashion. Men’s fashion in particular. Paul Smith to be more specific, but I like fashion in general. When I have cash and I’m not obsessing over technology; I obsess over what clothes to buy and/or lust for. It’s a direct wife influence.
10. I would only live in a few cities around the world: Vancouver, Edmonton, San Francisco and Paris. Why? Family, Friends, Technology, Fashion and Weather.
11. I can install linux, configure a mail server, code using a crap load of languages, run a web server, build a 1 Terabyte raid just for fun and yet, I still don’t consider myself a geek.
12. I get insane headaches when I go without caffeine for 3 days straight. I’m talking “Hulk Smash” headaches without the turning green and the super strength. So I’m left with just a a really bad headache. Lame super power!
13. Contrary to popular belief, Book learnin’ was never my forte. I just put in a tonne of extra hours of work in there to read, re-read, memorize and understand. I’m more of a “do” kind of learner.
14. I’m an incredibly slow writer. It takes me a lot of time to compose blog posts and emails. Not that I don’t have much to say, I have to filter out a lot of internal dialogue like, “zomg are you really that dumb?”
15. Music helps me concentrate. It has to be very specific music, either instrumentals or k-pop or j-pop. Why? because not understanding the words won’t distract me from the task at hand while filtering out outside noise.
16. I don’t like going to sleep with things in my inbox. I’m OCD about processing my mail to inbox zero. There will be the occasional time when I will leave one or two emails in there but during those times I won’t sleep well.
17. This post is apparently longer than my usual post size. I tend to try and keep my posts down to less than 400 words because that is my own limit with reading.
18. I’ve recently learned that driving stick isn’t all its cracked up to be. Sure, you look fast and furious cool with the shifting but when you drive an ’04 passat wagon the image doesn’t quite fit. Plus, it’s pretty tiring.
19. It seems that everytime I look at the clock it reads 4:44. This scared the crap out of me since 444 is apparently an omen for death. This is the reason why I’ve switched to military time. I’ve pwned you clocks!
20. My favorite part of a song is usually the bridge. Cause that’s when they slow things down and you do your “cool move” in the club.
21. I have a “cool move” but since my clubbing days are over, no one will ever see it.
22. I was a trekkie back then. I collected the trading cards, owned an ensign costume, had the pin communicator (that makes sounds when you push it down) and went to convetions. That makes me a geek.
23. I don’t mind the rain. There is a relaxing quality about it. I like the sound that it makes. I actually prefer rain to snow, and I might even prefer rain to sunshine (might).
24. I really don’t like scary movies. I get nightmares and end up doing stupid things like turning my TV to face the wall (true story: right after I saw the ring).
25. I love the fact that I wear glasses. I had perfect vision when I was young and wished/prayed that I’d get prescribed glasses. Some say I like hiding behind them, others would say it’s a fashion accessory. I just like burning ants in my spare time.

Damn, that was a long post. I hope this makes up for the fact that I haven’t updated things in a while.
