While some things are being done in little bits at a time (depositing checks, editing tracks for the CD), other things are being sorely ignored (putting up more pics, actually burning CDs, sending off the checks for certain tickets).
When friends are home before they go back to college, time's precious.
Plus, you know, I like to let things, you know, sort of, build up, so I can just get it all done. Multi-tasking was made for me.
Then again being really distracted's good. You know.

That's one batch up. I still have the 4 days of L.A. to put up still. Most of them are going to be beach photos, so nothing real elaborate.
I get the feeling hardly anyone's really gonna care. But it's here, and some people look. I'm waving if you're waving back.
And I still have that review to do that must be in tomorrow. Or else. Dammit.

And then... the drinking games started.

Ray
Shawna (Ray's girlfriend/ex/back to girlfriend)
Jon (Natalie's brother, there by proxy)
Lisa
Casper (Lisa's boyfriend)
Rich (Mikey's cousin)
...and a bunch of people Lauren called her friends who were immature little high school idiots (sorry, had to say it, they were disrespecting
everybody)

So. Here goes the start of the catch up. Pics to follow.
Last Friday was spent with Chaz and his boyfriend Brian at the mall, getting Kim's birthday presents.
After that we went picked up Mikey, got food, dropped him off back at his house with Brian, and Chaz and I went off on a beer keg/alcohol run, and to get the cake that Danny's mom had made (that picture is... er... interesting...). Everybody started gathering at the house as we were out, and then we returned with goodies for the party. Kim arrived, bag on head, pleasantly surprised to find that we were all standing there saying "surprise!" It was very nice. The next post will be the party itself.

Okay. I have pictures. I have stories. I don't have a moment to sit down and do either one right now as I'm getting CDs together. I'm hoping to get started on it tonight. I'm staying home tonight just to get it all done (or at least ready) before the weekend.
Plus I have a review to do. Shit I should just stick that in right now.
Speaking of which, both of the reivews got in, one right after another. Makes up for everything, I guess.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this. The managing editor of CityLife quit this morning. Which means that I might have a little more work to do soon. I'm really hoping not.
Jesus, I go out of town and things fall off.

Ack. No pictures. Been busy making CDs and ended up going out and about this evening. I'm going to be making quite a few CDs this weekend, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get up here. But it'll be here.
And here's something that's way too typical for me: As some friends of mine and I were leaving Moose McGillycuddy's this evening, one of the guys that we'd met taps me on my back and says, "You know, you're a very funny girl. I just wanted to tell you that."
Why, um, thanks. I think.
But I'm not really sick anymore. Just partially phlegmy. Which is much better than totally phlegmy. Like, and stuff. Right. It's really bloody late.

I'm home. I have lots of pictures which are going up here-- maybe later this afternoon.
For now, while I quasi-unpack, I'm going to be burning CDs like they were going out of style.
Plus pics from Kim's birthday party coming soon as well.

Well, we ended up going to Universal Citywalk, being silly and eating Pop Rocks, finding Delerium T-shirts, and sitting down with coffee to talk about opening up our own coffee shop. Like that hasn't come up before with just about every single one of my friends.
I don't know what the plan for tonight is. Dinner. Maybe a club. I'm not really in a club kind of mood right now.
I realized I love Pop Rocks, but also at the same time exactly why I don't eat them anymore: Carbon dioxide. It even says so on the package. You know, the stuff that makes it all explode in your mouth? It's the same stuff that you emit when you breathe out. Oh wait, isn't that carbon
monoxide?Either way, the idea that some kind of gas is being swallowed was a little... er, strange.

At Matt's on his computer. He's off at work, Chaz is sleeping.
Chaz and I spent a good bunch of hours cruising around Hollywood last night, trying to figure out things to do since Walker was tied up. We ended up spending an hour at Denny's picking on an appetizer sampler that neither one of us should've been eating and talking about
Vampire: The Masquerade which I haven't picked up or read a book on since I was in high school.
Today, the plan is to go to Venice-- Beach, that is. Considering how close to the middle of the day it is, I'm trying to figure out what else we're supposed to be doing. I can't really go back to sleep sine I've been up since after nine and wasn't tired enough to try and zonk out again. I could be off reading Tolkien, but I put in a couple of chapters this morning so I need some reality here.
I even wrote a little this morning, for a new thing. I'm not sure where it's going or what the point's going to be, but it's there in my journal waiting for me to do something with it. I'm supposed to be on holiday and I'm being productive. This is good as well as being scary.
I should have pictures up, but since I forgot the camera's USB cable I have to be picky about what pictures I'm taking. I'll have it all up when I get back tomorrow. I think.

Sitting here with Chaz at CyberJava in the middle of Hollywood. We've had a very productive couple of days involving Jude, Santa Monica, the beach, Matt, Mikey, just about everybody else, taking lots of photos, getting away from drama, and a big huge dose of gayness.
It's a very nice vacation so far. We're both glad we're taking a couple days out for ourselves for once. Everyone else can, you know, go to hell.
Not much else going on right now. We're down here trying to kill some time because Matt's out at a class and Walker, the punkass, is not calling even though he was too excited that I was coming out.
We're having a good vacation. Dammit.
Dammit.
