"Convenience Charges"
I was looking for some show tickets on ticketmasters website this morning and found some tix for like $70. Not too shabby...but with tax and stuff, the total came out to over $160. So I was like, what else am I being charged for? And I noticed that there was a "convenience charge" for each ticket...at $7.75 per ticket. How freakin ridiculous, what is so "convenient" about trying to get the tix online when there's all these charges for sending the tickets to you safely. The fastest delivery is naturally the safest way to go and also the most expensive. And if you want them to deliver it by regular mail, there's a note that says..."tickets will be sent in a plain white unmarked envelope." So why the hell would you WANT them to send it that way, even though it's free when they say that? It's like, "Yeah, it's free to send them to you like this, but someone can totally steal them and we're not responsible. HA HA HA" What a bunch of punks... Isn't it more "convenient" to just call and have the tickets held up over at will-call? Then there's less stress and stuff...HA, convenience my ass...
Family
I love my pseudo, well not even pseudo, but my extended family here in the OC. They're awesome, and we have really been through a lot over our 5 to 6-year friendships...wow, 5 to 6 years...that's a lot of time. And they've stuck it through w/ me through thick and thin, through the times I was blowing everything out of proportion, to the times when I my life was standing on the edge of a knife. So I took them out last night, in celebration of my new job, but really more to celebrate our friendships. It was a very small token of my appreciation for them. And It was an awesome awesome time together, we haven't laughed like that for a good long while, and I'm glad there was an occasion to bring us together. Not all the family was there, but we celebrated them in spirit.
I caught it...
Whatever this thing is that's going around, well I am one of the proud people who have been stricken. But I don't remember anyone else being sick around me, maybe I'm the X-factor...or the Root of it...because I really have not been sleeping well at all lately, nor have I taken measures to prevent such ailments from conquering...I keep smoking, I go out w/o the proper attire...sheesh...I'm crazy, so I have nothing to complain about, which I'm not. I am merely stating facts...a stater of facts I am, if you will. Fact, I am getting sick. Fact, I have brought it upon myself. Fact, I am going to stop talking about it.
Crunch time
Okay, 4 more days til the big test...yikes. I need to shut myself out from the rest of the world for the remainder of this week and really try to catch up on the missed weeks of not studying, due to circumstances quite beyond my control...I'm over it. But yeah, it's study study study time...I've found the perfect hideout too...he he he MUAH HA HA HA!!! Wish me luck, cuz I'll need all the luck the world can give...
Nervous time
So my sister needs a baby-sitter on Sat night through Sunday morning and asked yours truly to fulfill the void that is the lack of a sitter. So I am going to say yes, I mean, it IS after the party and all, and I love that lil girl to death...but I have to be honest and say that I am a little scared about keeping her for an entire night. I mean, we totally get along and she likes me a lot, but i have always had trouble putting her to sleep. I remember one time me and our friend May were up til like 2:30 trying to put her to bed...and my sister eventually came home and she was STILL awake, and went to sleep as soon as they got there. Well I DO plan on being a father some day and the only way to learn is through experience!
Masquerade
People have been asking me what I'm going to be for halloween this year. So far, I have narrowed the choices to two possibilities, well not really narrowed since these are the only possibilities that have come to mind... But they are either to be a shaolin monk...(I'd just have to get the get up and that pony-tail thing to stick to my head), or a roll-on deodorant. Currently, I'm leaning towards the second choice, it's more creative and it's funny. I just need a few pointers on how to come about this type of transformation. Hopefully, some kind of light bulb will light up in my head, and I can say, "Eureka!!! I've got it!!!" But that hasn't happened yet...
