I've been busy packing up all my shit, because i move out and into the dorms FRIDAY. i has a minifridge, a new TV, a Nerf gun, all my clothes, all kinds of toiletries, and everything i can think of. i'm *excited*.

also, i got to hang out with Carly on monday night. we watched Taladega nights at her place and holy fuck she's a good kisser.

also also, work tonight! yaaay!

i went to balboa park with melissa to see an IMAX movie (yay free tickets!). we took photobooth pictures, played in the science room, stood in the proximity of fat black people, and watched an IMAX documentary on prehistoric sea creatures fucking monsters. like tylosaurus, the baddest motherfucker to ever live.

also, efron started IMing me that day telling me how homesick he is and wanted to go home. basically through telling him to shut the fuck up and comparing him to lena and telling him he's perfectly fine where he is, i think i convinced him to stay. dave was telling me that efron's had history of homesickness (like during sleepovers at young ages, he'd always panic in the middle of the night and make his mom pick him up) in the past, too. but i THINK he's gonna be alright pretty soon.

Tropic Thunder was... not that good of a movie. i mean ben stiller did a pretty good job, and i thought some scenes were really funny, but it was all humor that would make sense if you'd only seen THAT scene of the movie and lol'd, unlike meangirls where the whole damn thing meshes. it was funny, but it didn't flow. but you know, it wasn't what movie i saw as much as who i saw it with that made that day cool. being the awkward nerd i am, i spent the majority of the movie trying to man up and grab her hand. and then the credits rolled. ahhhhhh i suck.

then the next day, i FINALLY FUCKING SAW THE DARK KNIGHT, which was pretty fucking good. me and danielle went to the movie theaters and watched it. and then she had to pee and left right at the climax of the movie, which i saw and she didn't. but whateverrrrr. then we had band practice, and bianca as a lot of legos. as in, i want them. all of them.

and then today, i took a math test for SDSU, and then went thrift store shopping with sami and zach. zach and i made snarky comments at everything and yelled at her for taking too long, and we all had fun. then Carly texted me, and i realized i hadn't eaten yet. so i invited her for fud. we went to in-n-out (she chose), and then went back to her place. we sat around on her bed for a while, and she told me that when she had seen me at the yogurt place before (if i didn't already mention it here, she actually met me at the yogurt shop before i even had an okcupid) that she ALMOST asked me for my number because she thought i was cute, but didn't. so i finally grew a pair of balls and kissed her. and goddamn. i REALLY should have done that a long time ago. we sat around laughing and she was all "i totally was hoping that you'd hold my hand in the movie!", and i explained and we lol'd.

all in all, this has been a really good past couple days.

So i've realized that Hammerhead by The Offspring is one of my favorite songs now. wierd. it's also insanely difficult to drum in rock band, but not TOO ridiculous IRL. ahaha.

anyways, last night i worked at the mission valley location for paradise yogurt, which gets holyshit busy. and it's not self serve, so we have to make their froyo for them. but it was still super fun, and i worked with val and jessie, and they're silly. apparently, val was the one who wrote "BEST APPLICATION EVER" on my job application, and highlited things i wrote on it like "and my favorite flavor is cake batter".

and also carly asked if i wanted to see tropic thunder with her. so we're seeing that I BELIEVE friday.

EDIT: guess what got rescheduled to today! wishmeluck.

working at paradise yogurt is really tiring when you don't got no chairs. other than that, it was super fun.

anyways, so i actually had a date today. with a girl. and she actually looked way better in person than in her pictures! so that was neato. we went to osaka for lunch, and talked and laughed and made out, and then after we were all done (i paid cause i'm a gentleman even though she offered), she offered the "so you wanna go to my place after this?". of course I said yes, and when we got there, none of her roomates were there. with a smile, we got on her couch, and she let me play with her nintendo wii (hah, i bet you saw that one coming). we both played mario kart and pokemon snap. and SHE actually initiated it! and then we went into her room and listened to music and layed on her bed talking about random crap. AND, AND, she's totally within dorm walking biking distance. after all of it we hugged, and agreed we both wanted to see eachother again soon.

so yeah. i really, really love when the internet actually puts out and gets me to do exactly what i wanted to do. i got to find a pretty girl who hates spicy food and roller coasters and likes pokemon and edward norton. she actually kindof reminds me of Lisa Williams. but just a liiiiiiittle bit cuter.

well i kept going through it finding HILARIOUS things like ben franklin with tits and a hippy warlock, but a lot of profiles people were showing to be hilarious you had to like... have an account to view. so for shits and giggles i made an account yesterday. now it was time to find all the horrible hambeasts and crazy-eyed girls. instead, i noticed that they're actually... uh... normal. so i start answering personality quiz questions and all kinds of matchmaking things and... well, somehow or another i actually have a date. like, today. with a girl named Carly. so holy shit?

so. it turns out i've been to the beach three times in the last three weeks. hoo boy am i exhausted. but yeah, galen had a going away party, and i went to that. we played leapfrog heading into the ocean. i went until i was about chin-deep (chin deep on my knees, mind you), because a wave knocked me over. neat!

also, i signed up for the draft today. suprisingly enough, i just went to the website, and they asked some basic information, and i hit enter, and they said "yay you're done!". all in all, it took about five seconds.

paradise yogurt is officially the chillest place to work. all i really do is work the register and make smoothies. the rest of it is talking to whoever i'm working with and chilling out. also, it's a total taco fiesta, and the one other guy who's employed in the yogurt business is... actually, he's really wierd. we call him gopher cause he looks like a gopher. he also kindof looks like a skinhead.

also also, my parents are freaking the fuck out about college. my dad won't stop telling me how hard it's going to be and how all i'm going to do is study (and if i mention anything fun he starts going on a rant), and my mom keeps trying to waste money buying me shit i don't need for the dorm rooms. i swear, i had to talk her down from spending 50 bucks on a bedspread that wouldn't fit the bed and was an ugly color, and we found a nice one for only 15. also, spent eight dollars on a landline phone instead of 20. the one thing she DID suggest and i'm considering though is a flatscreen TV. there's some really nice ones for only 250 on sale, and it's totally something i could keep kicking around for the next decade. so i'm proooooobably gonna do that. I also still need a bike.

I am now the proud owner of a Something Awful account!

upon entering, i found the greatest thread ever: Put Up Terrible Pictures From OKcupid

that, and i went to get my last paycheck from Ultrazone today. i ended up costing them 800 bucks!

So, yesterday was bianca's birthday party, and that was fun. we also had band practice, and wrote like five songs by just improvising shit. sweartagad.

today, efron gave me his Wii. unfortunately, the infared beacon for it broke, and no longer works. basically, what it does is send out two infared lights that the Wii picks up on, and tells it what direction you're pointing in relation to the TV. however, he showed me something that works to fix this: candles. place two candles on a table or something, and they emit infared lights that the wiimote will discover and utilize. what's worse is that this method actually works BETTER than the ten-dollar infared beacon. so now, playing the Wii for me is similar to some arcane ritual, where i go into a room, light some candles, and point my magic wand at a brightly-colored box to manipulate the minds of the people trapped inside the box.

man, i need a candlabra.

guess who has a job interview today at 2:30?

if all goes well, I'll have a job at Paradise Yogurt at the SDSU location. what's great about this is that it'll be within walking distance of my dorms! that, AND they'll totally understand that i have tough classes blah blah blah. so yay!

also, last night efron had a going away party at the beach. it was fun times for all. Also, he said he doesn't want to pack and mail his Wii, so he's giving it to me! fuck yeah! so now i have a wii. what games should i get?

i had to go to a wedding in LA yesterday, and it was motherfucking boring.

ALSO: i totally got fired/quit. it's really funny too, because from the start they said "if you have transportation issues, we'll work your schedule around to fit your needs". transportation issues come up, and they drop me like a hot potato. but whatever. it sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I also ended up getting that Nerf gun i wanted. and of course, i already modified it so that the revolver barrel thing swings out all the way, and i can play russian roulette with it now. i could totally turn this into a strip/drinking game version. hooray nerf! however, the thing ALSO fires extremely well, is easy to reload, and is holyshit accurate. it looks sexy on top of that, and for 8 bucks, it's really a cool toy. neato!

I should probably tell you that vernonika gave me a haircut. it's pretttty short now, and it totally makes me look like a douchebag. i mean, like a real cool guy who gets all the bitches, but is a total douchebag. this is amplified when i wear my sunglasses.

so since i won't be having a car during college (seriously, fuck gas and parking permits. i'll get a bike), Ultrazone is all freaking out since i won't be able to work till 3 in the morning during the fall, i may or may not be getting lolwtfired for it. That said, my dad's already riding my ass saying that I can't have a job and college at the same time, and so it may or may not be for the best. on the other hand, that is a cool job. I'll figure it out though.

also, efron said he probably won't take his Wii to college. he said if he doesn't, he's gonna give it to me. shit yes!

OH! and veronika and evan and i saw Pineapple Express last night, and it was just... the funniest fucking movie ever. I swear to god, even though it was all like... stoner humor, most of it was "look how retarded stoners are" humor, and it totally gave off the vibes of why Kevin Chess is hillarious, without making me have to deal with why he's fucking gross! it's like eating cake without getting fat!

Jack's just started playing DnD with us, which will only last until the 19th when efron leaves for ohio. he plays a ranger, and looking at the abilities, i've decided that rangers are basically just the best class ever. ANYWAYS.

I keep meaning to go to the store and buy myself a Nerf gun for the dorm rooms. they make this really sexy looking revolver that shoots six shots pretty damn far, and it'd be perfect for settling arguments over who gets to do what blah blah blah. or just for plain old face-shootings for basically... no reason. man, i'm really going to enjoy living with people i've never met before. like if it was a dorm ROOM i was sharing, i'd probably get overload of too much contact with strangers, but with what i've got set up, it's the perfect balance between social activeness and privacy! also, the main room is fucking huge and has space for all kinds of crap.

i actually DO look like Otacon from Metal Gear Solid. huh.

 So yesterday was the meeting day for the Society for Creative Anachronism. they put on medieval combat and fight eachother, along with all sorts of medieval merriment. I was supposed to be at DnD by noon, and this shit started at 11 according to the paper they gave me at comic-con, so i figured "what the hell, why not? i'll watch a fight or two before i go". also, it was totally right in allied gardens park.

i show up, it's pretty neat, and everyone there is super friendly and nice. they were all "oh, you should totally stick around for a bit!" and offering me all kinds of free, medieval, delicious food. around 11:45 Efron calls, saying that DnD is cancelled because galen was having a beach party that day and failed to tell people until then. so i stayed around the SCA thing for a while, and some chick was all "have you tried on some armor yet?". i have nothing better to do, so i go along with the game and try some on. before i know it, they're leading me around showing me stuff and handing me a sword, and I somehow get roped into actually fighting. all the armor's padded and stuff so you don't get actually hurt but holy shit is sword/shield fighting intense. on top of all that was some heavy armor, giant heavy round shield, sword, and running around exerting myself physically trying to beat the hell out of someone. it was super tiring, but oh my god it felt like it was a super good workout. and then they were having us run around in formations and stuff, showing us how to make a shield wall, and how to attack with polearms and stuff. all in all i was super tired from it, but it was actually... kindof fun! unfortunately, my body STILL aches from wearing so much armor.

after that, i went to the beach for galen's 18th party. basically, we did generic beach stuff, but also dug this huuuuuuuuuuuuge hole in the ground, and carved a couch out of it and sat in it. and we just did general bullshitting and it was super fun.

then TODAY, i went to SDSU orientation. i picked all my classes and stuff, and am super excited for college. ALSO, i took so many AP courses that I have 36 credits already, and that's not including poli sci which is another six, and chem (which i STILL don't know if I passed). so technically, i'm a sophmore already! and that's neato. unfortunately, Civil Engineering still takes forever, so i'll be there for four years still. oh well, more time to not have to go to the real world!

work was really weird last night. like there was this stupid guy who had no idea how to fire the laser. eventually i deduced that the problem was that he was too stupid to pull the trigger. so i told him "Now pull the trigger".

"and what, does it fire then?" he asks, completely missing the point, "Like, right away?"

also, some girl flashed her boobies in the vesting room. yay! speaking of women, there was this gorgeous girl who walked in who i was completely stunned upon sight. so in the game, i kept walking past her saying to myself "ok, just give her your phone number. what do you have to lose?". right when i decide "fuck it, i'm just gonna go with a bad idea and see where it takes me", i notice her boyfriend give her a kiss. dammit! but oh well. SDSU outnumbers males by 3:1, so i can wait.

ALSO: apparently robot attacks are on the rise. some guy on a greyhound bus stabbed this guy and decapitated him with a knife, and everyone said he was "actin like a robut". therefore, i have concluded that robuts are beginning their revolution.

ALSO ALSO: do a google search for the "Montauk Monster". and then look at that thing. Jeff Corwin said it's a racoon "or maybe a dog", but i'm convinced that it's a demon. like, from hell.

I went into work today, and my manager tulsy just got the cutest fucking haircut ever. EVER.

also, i found out which dorms i'm getting today! looks like i lucked out; i'll be sharing a suite with like 8 people, but i get my own room. siiiiick! it's 8 feet by 13.5 feet, and awesome. what's also cool, is instead of sharing public bathrooms with everyone on the entire floor, i only have to share bathrooms with the guys in my suite! and we get multiple bathrooms, not just one! also, we get like... our own room, plus a common area that the suite shares, and then like on top of all THAT, the whole dorm hall has rec areas. fukken sick!

... seriously? THIS IS TODAY'S QUESTION?!?!?!?!?

i know all ABOUT zombies! i know what weapons to use, what NOT to use, and where to be safest in an outbreak. hand me my shovel and my crossbow, we're not dying tonight!

(and yes, this is an open invitation. if the dead ever rise, know that you are welcome to come with me and live.)

holy motherfuck my jaw hurts. yay pain meds! i'm not sure what else to say.

last night, bree and andy came over to visit me and watch batman and make loud noises. it was fun.

also, my mom was telling me that when i got out of surgery (i don't remember anything before getting out of the car and into my bed), i locked my hands into the permenant "Throwing the fucking horns" position. i also mumbled a lot, and my mouth was swollen up enough that i could burly talk.
