June 11th, 2008 Okay, so I haven't done one of these little survey things in a
while and this one was posted by
Shalon on
her myspace bulletin and I thought it looked interesting enough. So here
goes.
...80 Things You Might Not Know About Me....
....Whats your middle name?
Well, depending on how you know me, it's the name you might think is my first
name, it's Julian.

A twin, it sucks, wish I at least had a full. But fine enough for now I
guess for the single guy.
....What are you listening to right now?
"Just Shoot Me" reruns on TV and the clicking of the keyboard keys
....What is your favorite number?
10. It's a great number that oft gets no love. But besides being the
base for a lot of things in math (and the metric system), it's also the roman
numeral for X, which I think is an obvious reason for me liking it.
....What was the last thing you ate?
Some Red Baron oven cooked frozen pizza.

My brother's friend Andy "Drewlicious". It was awkward and funny at the
same time.

On the phone probably taking a message for the 'rents. Text? Jackie.
99% of the texts I get and send are to her.
....What do you find sexy in the opposite sex?
Well, the face is the thing that makes it for me physically. The eyes
especially really tell the story for the person and tell me a lot about who they
are.

; )

together, special family traditions, all the decorations and stuff, plus I love
giving gifts to people.

Thanks to Netflix I've been catching up on a ton of movies I never saw, last
night I finally got around to seeing "Training Day"

in awhile. I also started but didn't finish "Lisey's Story" by Stephen
King

I'm always hiding a good amount from everyone.

surround sound system), keys, my wallet, cell phone (and charger cord), and a
little notepad for my general musings and thoughts.

A satellite phone with a full battery charge? Too easy? Bear Grylls?
No that won't work, he's a ringer. Probably a knife, I'd like to have
someone else there but that'd be pretty selfish as they'd then be stranded too.

T-mobile, although I very tempted to switch to AT&T just to get the iPhone.

April 4th, 2008 So, wow, things can change quickly. Since my last post
some big changes happened. First off, WaMu decided that I was no longer
someone they wanted to keep employed and fired me. Which sucked big time.
And I've been having trouble finding a job since, so lately, I'm just kind of
hanging around doing nothing. First few days was nice, but since has been
really lame.
In March my family and I took a vacation and went to Orlando, Florida!
Big dream of mine to be able to go and finally came true. The big reason
for us going out there was actually to go visit my mom's parents who are living
out there now. It was really nice to see them again and how they're doing
out there. They showed us around town and took us on some river boat
cruise that was pretty neat. Plus we were able to catch up and also learn
some history and stuff. I found out my Grandma is actually going to have a
book published as well. I'm definitely wowed by that.
Also on the trip we were able to go to Vero Beach and see the last 2 Dodger
pre-season games there. If you don't know, the Dodgers have played their
pre-season games in Vero Beach, Florida for the past 60 years. It's a big
part of Dodger history, they even call it Dodgertown there. But the Dodger
owners decided to go with a deal to move their pre-season training to Glendale,
Arizona. A move no doubt inspired by a desire to make more money, which is
lame. Anyways, we were lucky to be able to visit for our first time, and
see the last 2 games they played there and be a little part of the history.
The big highlight of the trip was actually going to Disneyworld. We
spent 4 days visiting the 4 different parks of Disneyworld. It was amazing
and definitely a great place to visit. Even though we spent a full day at
each one, we really needed many more days to experience everything they had
there. Also we got a chance to go briefly visit the Kennedy Space Center,
which is an awesome place to check out, another one I'd like to go back to and
see everything we missed. Oh and all the pictures from the trip
here.
Lastly, a big deal here on the homefront. It seems like our landlord
wants to sell our house that we live in. So it looks like we're going
house-hunting again and trying to find a new place to live. Hopefully we
can find something that works for us and that everything goes smoothly, although
the way things are, I expect at least a few bumps in the road ahead. |
