finally.. my iphone!
@ 2:48 p.m.
i swear i've been meaning to write since last week, and now i can't believe it's wednesday and now i'm finally writing. i've almost started putting it off kind of like how i say i'm going to work on my story, but never end up doing... there's a thought...
big news, finally got my iphone!! they arrived on monday, and we got it finally -everything!!- all working! i was able to transfer my number over so i have my old number. it took about over an hour to set it all up, but at least it's now finally done and over with. it was not an easy process. i think mainly because iphone 5 was so under stocked. i think if we had chosen a phone that was available on hand, this whole thing would've gone a lot more smoother. i'm overall really happy and extremely pleased with it, but i gotta say that one thousand dollars for both of these phones is no chump change. we did get the 64gb so yeah :X also our monthly phone bill is gonna be like $150... that's quite high, and it definitely makes me a bit anxious..
hmm so i'm going back to my previous entry because i remember i was supposed to write an update on that day but it was short cause i ended up having to go. well, the fucking elections. i'm pissed off at the results for a couple of county measures and i couldn't believe one of the propositions that i was pretty strongly against passed. in particular, measure b (county measure) passed, which basically means that condoms are required for all porn stars for any porn films shot in the LA county. i can't believe how many dumbasses that voted for this because it's absolutely retarded. it's an absolute waste of the county's money to go around making sure porn stars are using condoms now, and a waste of time and resources that are needed elsewhere. besides porn stars already have to get tested weekly or something like that. they are pretty strict already as it is. what a fucking waste of all our resources into utter shit. not to mention if these new rules are implemented, it's going to hurt the porn industry specifically in los angeles, meaning they'll go elsewhere to shoot their porn, and that means loss of tax money for la county. seriously guys? why don't you actually read and thoroughly analyze what these measures will do, instead of just the title, and go "oh yeah i want to protect them porn stars". fucking idiots. but anyway, in general, i'm glad this whole election thing has passed. god, when i found out the results though, i was so fucking angry at a couple of them, especially the one i just ranted about, but now it's been a week and i've kind of already forgotten about it. hopefully our company starts to do better now that the election is over. god knows i'd really like a raise, and we'd only be getting that if the company starts to improve in profit again.
my violin lessons- well, i didn't go last week cause my teacher cancelled, i did go this week. i felt like she managed to squeeze quite a bit of stuff in there, though some of what she is teaching i feel like i don't care about. but i think that's cause it's me, and not because she's teaching me wrong stuff. it's just certain stuff i haven't been interested in. a part of me is kinda asking myself, what am i doing here? but another part of me really wants to get through this, and this could actually be a thing. i've now learned that apparantly i didn't learn some of my basic techniques as well as i should've and i'm paying for it now, because i have to re-learn it. that really pisses me off actually. but hopefully maybe after a week or two, it won't be so difficult.
the piano is a bit so-so. on the one hand, i'm super excited that i learned my first "modern" song mainly by ear, with some bit of help though, and also managed to memorize the entire piece more or less and i guess with a bit more practice i could probably play the whole thing no problem, maybe i could even write out the music for it, on the other hand, it's the same problem as before. i tend to make the same mistakes, and no matter how many times i may play a piece, i still can't seem to go through it without making any mistakes. i guess i'm still just not practicing enough, but i don't want to spend 6 hours a day on the piano.
halloween horror nights was great overall. we got there early. we had some jack in the box, and c had chicken nuggets, but that ended up in disaster. basically, as we were waiting for the theme park to open up, c got food poisoning and threw up a couple times. then, the park finally opened, and c still wasn't feeling well. i think we spent the first half hour to an hour sitting there. i was almost ready to go home and it wouldn't have been a big deal to me, but i know he would've been disappointed and also i think he would've thought that i was upset over it and been disappointed more so. well, eventually he got better, so the rest of the night was well. we only got to do half of the mazes though. i was told the tram would fill up and it was a must see, but that didn't turn out to be true, as it turns out, the wait wasn't that bad compared to some of the other mazes. i missed the walking dead maze, which i was kinda bummed about. i really enjoyed the bill and ted show they had. i love choregraphed dancing so that can never go wrong with me. i was pretty much only going because i know c really likes halloween and really likes being scared, but i feel pretty guilty because i think i prevented him from really having a halloween experience... in short, i think if maybe he went with someone who also liked to get scared, he would've had a better time. i didn't tell him that, but it's how i feel. whenever we did the mazes, i always tried to stay close to the person in front of me, so then i could see what was going to happen and i wouldn't get so scared. i know c's the type that would want to stay behind so then he'd catch everything. i kinda feel guilty about it, thinking about it all over again. maybe next year we'll do something else for our anniversary.
so i guess las vegas was settled, i mentioned that briefly last time. we're going from jan 2 to the 7th. besides me and c, shin, ris and this other guy ryan is coming. the 3 of them are gonna share their own room, while me and c have our own. originally noble and his gf was gonna come, but then that didn't work out, so i'm bummed about that. also marcos doesn't like las vegas so he's not coming either. that all kinda gets me bummed, but not much i can do about it. marcos is pretty stubborn..
i was thinking about playing ro again, because on that classic server i mentioned last time, they were gonna bring in trans classes. i mainly want to play cause i love bios lab, but i'm kinda thinking that if i start playing, it will take up and suck up all my free time and then i really won't be motiviated to do anything important or good.. or anything that PROGRESSES my life...
i really should try to write more often in here cause then i could talk about the conversation i had with c on sunday about losing weight for my wedding.. but i think i've already written a lot. and it's daunting to read so much in one sitting (also write so much).
thanksgiving is coming up, and i'm excited to have the time off. i love this time of year cause getting the time off is awesome!
