In other news....
I'm moving in under a week. Yeah. I'm borderline freaking out, but only on the inside. *sigh*
Yeah, California seems bad ass, but at the same time I know it took about a year until we felt right in State College and by that time we were leaving. That especially sucked because I left behind some really awesome people. Some of whom just got engaged on Halloween! and I'm extremely excited for.
Dani + Ian: You guys are fan-fucking-tastic. I love you. <3

More Musical Musings...
I like this song, and I really don't care who knows it. :)
This one, well, it's a great song. However, I almost wish I had never experienced this video. This guy should have never been permitted to be immortalized in film....especially his teeth. gah.

My weird musical musings
I've been on a weird youtube music video kick. Which is especially weird b/c I have never been into music videos.... not really sure why, but I don't really find music a "watching" activity. Well, I had this song in my head, not sure how or why, and I really had no idea who is was by or anything at all. It actually took me awhile to even find out via google. Now I feel awkward that I like a song that was released in '79..... Still, it's a good song. Fuck it.

This is what happens when ppl think drugs are like special magic-candy....
A random message I received:
"What do you have against drugs? I mean really. A lot of hard-working, cool, respectable people do drugs; but so do a lot of irresponsible dipshit losers. It's not fair to make such a sweeping generalization. You could be limiting your circle of friends in a pretty regrettable way. Besides, even the term itself is debatable. There are pillheads out there doing way more damage to themselves with legal OxyContin prescriptions (etc etc) than some hippies smoking pot and eating mushrooms (etc etc) could ever dream of doing. Just sayin'."
Ok, fair enough. I don't normally even bother to get into these kind of debates, but let's see my response:
"Well, I didn't say anything particularly negative about drug users. At least not that I recall..... though I do tend to go off when I rant and I could have said something I wasn't paying attention to. No; it's true I look down on drug users. And I understand perfectly well that your points are valid. I have had many friends who used drugs. I have also watched many of those friends wash themselves down the drain of society. I don't doubt that there are people out there who can be successful and still indulge in their own personal vice. My qualm is mostly within myself. I personally dislike drugs and, despite my understanding that they are not entirely negative in all circumstances, I tend to look down upon people that do them. This is my vice. I judge people based on their actions, in this case it is sometimes before I know those people. I know I am limiting my circle of friends, but the fact is that I don't think it's fair to hang out with someone while silently thinking I am better than them. (Because while this may not be true, this is how is works in my head...) I have some friends who I have told this to, and apologized for the fact that I look down on them for their choices, and we have been able to remain friends. Despite my opinion on the matter I don't actively bash on people for the choices they've made. I just choose to ignore them, or avoid putting myself in circumstance where I would be uncomfortable.
I'm not saying that my thinking is 100% right all the time. I'm just saying that it's the way I am. I guess I'm just a stuck-up bitch? But at least I know it, lol."
So I just laid it out there. I was honest, but not rude. At least not by my standards, lol. And, to my endless surprise, I wasn't met with animosity for it.
Response:
"I must say, it all sounds more reasonable after your elaborations. I wouldn't call you a stuck-up bitch... at least, not now :)
Well, good luck to you in all your drug free endeavors."
Well, that went well. Better than expected even. :)

DIY
I have this frequent habit of going to the hardware store, or any store for that matter, and looking for very strange things. This usually happens when I'm working on some bizarre project of mine that involves making something for cheaper than it would cost to buy it. The interesting part is when I have to figure out where in the store my "materials" would be located. This is difficult because I am not usually aware enough to think about what normal people would be using it for, which would help at least put me in the right direction.
Today's project was nylon mesh netting, or whatever you want to call it. They make these things to hang in your car that act as a barrier between the front and back seats. The reason this is important is because my cats like to climb all over me and anything else they can get to, which only seems potentially fatal when one contemplates driving cross-country and having them in the car for 4 days or so. So, long story short I was gonna buy one of these things online, but it was like $20. So I thought, "Maybe I can just find some netting and make my own."
Despite the simplicity of my intentions this seems to be where I went wrong. I wandered around Lowes' for awhile before actually getting a remotely intelligent person I could ask. They don't have it there and no one could really think of anything else it would be used for that would help point me in the right direction. The best the 2 Lowes' associates came up with was for me to try Pier 1 Imports..... I'm not sure why, but apparently they've seen nets there you can hang your stuffed animals in. I'm not sure if they're retarded, but that wouldn't have helped me. Some random passerby was intrigued by my outlandish request and began to brainstorm with us (the Lowe's worker and myself). He suggested I try an automotive store that would carry very similar nets as "cargo nets".
I was pleased, this was a great idea, except.....oh.............. wait for it, The fucking cargo net in the auto store is $25, thus 100% completely fucking eliminating an chance I had at saving money. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Grown up time for the kid at heart.
I went to the gym this morning and, while in the shower, I realized that all my shower products are orange. They are also all little kids products, lol. And they all smell yummy, which is the best part. Shampoo smells like melon, or something, body wash smells like....mango, or something, and spray conditioner smells like green apple. I'm good enough to eat. I don't want to grow up. :)
