| Employee Discount |
[11 Aug 2005|11:17pm] |
So, only a few days until I get my Best Buy Employee discount. I cannot wait. I'm going to start buying shit like mad. I got my first pay check last Friday and bought a Creative Zen Micro mp3 player at Best Buy. It has been ordered because BB doesn't sell the silver color. Can't wait to get it (should by Saturday) and apply my discount to it. Also, I got my friend Nik hired over at Best Buy, so it'll be cool working aside him. It'll also be cool when I get my $150 referral reward. ;)
Damn, I miss WoW. I regret selling my account now. I've been playing Guild Wars a bit with Nik but it started to suck after a while. Nik and I talked about playing WoW again as Shamen, but I won't buy the game unless I know I'll stick with it. We also might be trying Lineage II soon.
Wow, school's starting soon. Thank god this semester will be extremely easy as compared to last.

One of my online math problems:
Gandalf the Grey started in the Forest of Mirkwood at a point with coordinates (-1, 3) and arrived in the Iron Hills at the point with coordinates (0, 6). If he began walking in the direction of the vector V = 3i + 2j and changes direction only once, when he turns at a right angle, what are the coordinates of the point where he makes the turn.
This doesn't beat the math problem involving Fabio and his friend I had last semester...

| Holiday |
[31 Dec 2004|01:05am] |
For the most part I've been enjoying Winter break. Just been hanging around the house reading, playing games, and chatting online. I've also gone to Jared's house a few times and hung out there.
Christmas was exciting just as usual. I got a lot of gifts: $100+ in Best Buy gift cards, $100+ in cash, "London Bridges" by James Patterson, clothes, and some cologne. With the giftcards I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse (mm total laziness now) and with the money I spent more than half of it on some shirts, socks, a belt, bed pants, and some boxers.
I don't have much planned for New Years. I'll probably be going to my friend Nate's house.
This year past year has really sucked for me. Mainly because of the emotions I've gone through because of Heather. I was doing fine before she told me she wanted me back. Now she doesn't want me anymore and the cycle is being repeated. I talked to her yesterday but it didn't end well. I got jealous and she got pissed. If we can't be with each other then I don't think we can be friends at all. As friends, we just keep hurting each other. It's just not worth it anymore. Heather is suppose to be home next week. We had plans to see each other but I'm not sure if that'll happen now. She won't answer my calls after last night. If she does call back I might not even answer because I finally want to be over her and move on.
I did pretty bad last semester in school. Well, bad compared to my own standards. I eventually had to drop a class because I was failing it. In the end, I got a 3.0 GPA for the semester. I had actually gotten my first C and it was in Physics. The sad thing though is that I took Phyiscs for 2 years in High School. My high school Physics teacher, Mr. Peckham, would be quite disappointed. I knew the material but it was a lot of work and the professor was an ass. It's okay though, I'll kick ass next semester I'm sure. I'm starting to care less about grades. I just need to do well enough to keep my scholarship. A 3.25. I just need to get a 3.0 each semester from now on until the end of Junior year and I'll be set. I'm confident I can pull a 3.0 without breaking a sweat.
Next semester I'll be taking:
Calculus III
Physics II
Physics II Lab
Popular Music: The Beatles (it's an online course)
Assembly Language Programming
It's now 1:20. I don't expect to fall asleep for another 3 hours. This late at night there's nothing to do. I'm so bored. God. There are some people to talk to online but I wish there was something I could do out of the house this late at night. My late nights were actually fun back at my old apartments in Phoenix.
For a while there was Tammy to hang out with who lived next to me. But our friendship got weird. Actually, she had gotten weird on me. I'm not quite sure why. I remember one day we were walking around the neighborhood and she said how cold she was or something then looped herself around my arm. I asked what she was doing and she said nothing and let go. After that our friendship just kinda went downhill. Maybe I was a dick and just never realized it.
Then there was Jose who lived near me as well. We'd always hang out. I'd always watch him skate and I'd help him film. We'd always watch movies and hang out at each others apartments. It's too bad though after I moved to Chandler we just stopped hanging out and talking.
Sonya would also hang out with Jose and myself back in Phoenix. Over the summer Sonya and I still hung out a lot. We'd hang out, go to the movies, go out to eat, go to the mall and stuff like that. We'd talk almost every day. We had actually gotten really close. She was Heather's best friend. If it weren't for Heather, I doubt Sonya and I would be friends like we are today, which is sad. Sonya's a great friend. Unfortunately, now we don't talk as much as we used to. We don't hang out as much as we used to. I don't know the reason for this. It's like we're drifting apart. Lately I've been calling her a lot and asking to hang out. The hanging part hasn't worked out lately. She's home in Phoenix too; has been for a couple months now and I've only seen her once. She'll go back to Tucson and back to school soon.
I'm not sure where I'm going with all this. I had a lot of good friends who I no longer talk to now. Friends come and go I suppose. It's a shame, though. The true friend I have, whom I haven't drifted away from at all, and hope to have for as long as I live is Jared. But I wish I could have more terrific friends like him. I wish I had more friends in general. I do have a lot of friends.. like that I know from school but we rarely hang out at all. The friends I have at school is restricted to school. Except for a few like Nate and Fred who are cool guys.
Well, I'm going to get off my ass and make a sandwich.

| The Sith Lords |
[08 Dec 2004|04:06pm] |
I got KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords yesterday. Game is pretty good. It's so tempting to do Dark Side first time around. Some of the responses you can make are so hilarious.
One of my party members said "I've got a bad feeling about this."
I had the choice of responding with "Your 'bad' feeling will be replaced by blinding pain if you don't shut up."
Ah, the temptations of the Dark Side.

| Well |
[30 Nov 2004|03:32pm] |
Heather backed out and changed her mind. She really did have me convinced she wanted to be with me again. But last night she tells me it won't work out.. That I deserve better and I was doing fine without her. I was starting to but my feelings for her remained unchanged. I can't let her play around with me anymore. It's messing me up. I can't let this happen again...
Other happy news... Only one more week of school left (not including finals).

Heather called me on Wednesday. I haven't spoken to her since I basically called her a slut over the phone. Apparently since then, she hasn't slept around and had a lot of time to think. She realized that she didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore. She realized she wanted something real and meaningful. She then told me that she realized she misses me and that she truely does love me.
At first I didn't know how to take all this in. I haven't spoken to her in two months and have started to really get over her. Then she pulls this on me. She wanted to see me Thanksgiving morning before she headed back home to San Diego. I allowed her to. So we spent a couple hours just catching up and talking. She kept saying how much she loves me, that she was sorry and that she wanted me back. My feelings have remained unchanged for her since we broke up almost a year ago. So I think we're going to try and start over again. Am I crazy? I still love her. Most of the emtional pain I went through was my own fault by wanting to know everything in her life after me and trying so hard to get her to take me back.
After Heather and I spent time together at my house, we drove together to phoenix. She dropped me off at my grandparents house and then went to her's and left for San Diego later that evening. Thanksgiving was really nice. We had a lot of food. The usual stuff. Turkey, bread, mashed potatoes, yam, pie, stuffing, salad, green beans, etc. It was so good. There was so much food at my grandparent's, they had us take some leftovers home. Later when I got home that night, I ate more haha.
This morning I went shopping. It wasn't as hectic as I thought it'd be. Probably because I went in the afternoon. People are usually crazy and do their after Thanksgiving shopping at 6am. I went to Radio Shack, Target, Best Buy, and Circuit City to shop for friend's and family. Got stuff for my two cousins, my grandpa, Jared, Reid, Sonya, and Heather. And a little something for myself. :P 128mb compact flash card for my digital camrea. Only 12 bucks!!! I've been living on an 8mb card since I got my digital camrea over a year ago.
This weekend I have a ton of homework to do. Piority being my programming assignment, which shouldn't be too bad.

So I got Halo 2 yesterday. It's a beautiful game. The best game EVER. Well, maybe second to Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Tomorrow I don't have school because of Vetern's Day. Why couldn't the holiday be on one of my sucky school days? Thursday's I only have 1 class.
I picked up a new CD ("Broken", Halo 5 by NIN) at Best Buy before I got home this afternoon. My goal is to collect all the Nine Inch Nail's "Halo"s. 3 down, about a dozen more to go haha. Most are rare to find, but cheap. I could probably get half of the collection from ASU's music store. Last I checked, they had a lot of the NIN albums.
Tonight: Halo. Tomorrow: Halo and math webwork.
Lindsey!

FUCK YEAH!
Great movie (Team America: World Police). Downloading soundtrack now. I went to see the movie with Fred and Nate last night after playing some Halo. Man, why did Nate have to drink before coming over to my house? He smelled and kept pissing like a racehorse.
Wow, I have a lot of free time now, now that I dropped one of my courses (because I was failing it). It's so great. All I have to do this weekend is catch up on my math webwork and start off my programming assignment.
All too easy.

| Weekend |
[16 Oct 2004|09:53am] |
This weekend I don't have much homework to do, which is real nice. I have stuff I can do to get a head, which I will start later tonight. The guys (Nate and Fred) didn't come over as they usually do every Friday night, so I was stuck at home, all by myself. I drove around last night and went to Best Buy but that's about it. Everyone online was gone but I had Lindsey to keep me company. I jokingly said I'd pick her up and take her to the movies, since both of us were home alone doing nothing. But she's in Tucson and I've only been over there once. I'd probably get lost, especially at night. I feel bad. I think she was kinda hoping I would go down there. Sometime soon, hopefully.
I've been extremely distraught as of late. I believe I'm failing one of my college courses. Never have I been close to failing before. It's something new for me and I don't know how to handle it. Wednesday I'm going to an advisor and see what my options are. If I do fail this clas, it will set me back, not being able to take upper level courses. To get into the "professional program", which allows you to take 400 level courses, I have to take certain courses and at least get a C in all of them. By the end of this school year, I will have hopefully completed all those courses. I can then apply for the professional program and by next year, my junior year, I'll be able to take the upper level courses.
I haven't talked to Heather since I told her off on the phone. She's usually online everyday. But not anymore. I suppose she was really ever online just for me, so we could talk. But it's been what, almost 2 weeks now since I blew up on her? This is the longest, I believe, I've gone without talking to her. I'm just so used to speaking with her on a daily basis even though we've been separated for about 10 months now. I really do miss her. It's just disheartening that she doesn't care about me anymore. I'm weak. After I blew up on her, I sent her two emails, apologizing. I know she's checked the emails I've sent her but she never replied back. I can accept the fact that our friendship is over but it just hurts. I've known her for 5 years and I was with her for a good year and a half. Now, it's all over. Breakups tend to hurt me the most. This isn't the first time I've been pushed away and ignored. Maybe it'll take time for her to come around, as it's been proven before with a previous ex.

| Math Tutoring |
[01 Sep 2004|03:58pm] |

So this girl, whom I met yesterday, asks if she can come over to my place so I can help her with her calculus homework. I met her in our physics lab. I noticed she was all touchy feely.. Our work space was pretty confined and she had no problem touching me. And she had good eye contact when she was talking with me. Well, since girls are typically dumb when it comes to directions, I offered to go to her apartment and help her, where we'll be alone. So, we shall see what happens. Either she likes me or is in desperate need of help for homework. Or maybe a little both. But she probably has good intentions, unlike me. >:P She was willing to drive all the way out to Chandler just for me to help her when she could have just gone to the math tutoring center after her last class. So maybe that means something.
