This Christmas Eve morning was made possible by my dear friend Andy and little Haley, who rescued me from San Francisco (and Caltrain) late last night. (Sorry Dave, I didn’t steal her monster hoodie.) THANK YOU ANDY AND HALEY YOU TWO ARE THE BEST.

My brother, the wonderful guy that he is, went to the fabric store and purchased sweatshirts, felt and puff paint, and made us Christmas sweaters for a family portrait. Hands down, this is the best Christmas present I have ever received. If you need me, I’ll be in the Angry Deer delight watching a Star Wars marathon.

Yukon Cornelius: You’re going to stay with me and we’ll all be rich with the biggest silver strike this side of Hudson Bay. Silver!
Hermey: I thought you wanted gold.
Yukon Cornelius: I changed my mind.

I bought a new jacket today, so I gave the jacket I was wearing to a homeless lady with a tupperware full of live rats.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder where she got so many rats.

The creepiest part about living in San Francisco is the Tuesday at noon air raid siren.

The "Generation Gap"

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:42:00 -0800

My dad pulls out his point and shoot camera, the view finder is smashed and all you can see is a black screen, he laughs and looks at me and says, “I’m only as technological as I have to be.” I told him that it’s alright, and he said something about it being the same as film, but since it’s digital, he takes an extra fifty photos, just in case. “I mean, I know how to use a fax machine, I’m proud of that. I know no one else uses them anymore, but I don’t know how to use a scanner,” he paused, “well, I could use a scanner, I just don’t want to download the hardware.” “Software,” I corrected him, “it’s ok, I don’t use fax machines either, Dad.”

Later that day he asked if I wanted to watch a movie, but that he only had it on a VHS tape, so we’d have to use a 13 inch TV/VCR combo, instead of the TV and VCR sitting right next to us. You know what happens next, I had to set up his VCR, through a RF modulator (remember those?) and then provide written instructions on how to use it, for when I’m not there. The movie was good, but quiet in some parts, so I had to turn the “VOLUMEN” up.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making fun of him. I just think it’s funny, how some people his age know everything about “technology”, while others choose to look the other way, so far as to set the microwave clock to 2:00 PM instead of a timer for 2 minutes.

(Yes, everything about this is true.)

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:44:43 -0800

Whenever I take any form of public transportation I buy a transfer, no matter how short the trip is. So, when I use the lightrail by my mom’s house for a quick one way trip, I feel like I’m not taking full advantage of my $2 pass. Because of this, I always offer my ticket to anyone waiting at the stop I get off at, and it usually results in a dirty look, and a rude “uhm, no.” This always makes me feel like a complete jerk based on their reactions, as if I’m implying that they couldn’t afford their own ticket, when that’s never the case.

Right now, I was walking to the lightrail stop thinking, “I’m going to waste another transfer.” Well, when I went to buy a ticket, right there, shoved into the side of the ticket screen, was a newly purchased transfer. This was some stranger’s way of doing what I always try to do. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but this right here, completely made my day.

Thank you, nice stranger.

Hefner - Hello Kitten

As I’ve mentioned before, Hefner is one of my favorite bands. Something about the line “I thought you were perfect, but that racist joke just made it all bittersweet,” just makes me love this song so much. Plus, clapping!

It’s the little things.

I think it's so cute that my internet friends are following my little adorable friend Haley.

You can follow her and her crazy shenanigans, too.

(She’s one of us, guys, trust me on this.)

I don’t want to meet someone who thinks my bad habits are “adorable”. I don’t want to date a person who goes out of their way to have stuff in common with me. If I chew my gum too loud and it annoys you, tell me. If I’m a bitch, say I’m a bitch. I don’t have patience for people who compromise, who conform, or who are passive just for the sake of getting along. Realistically, you can’t keep it up.

What is annoying about me really is annoying. It annoys me, and it’ll annoy you. In a few months you’ll start speaking up and saying, “hey, could you not do that?” or, “I don’t know why you can’t just eat a meal without picking it apart and throwing half of it away.” If you spend the first couple of months actively trying to be the perfect match to someone, you’ll soon realize that it was a waste of time to begin with. Trying to be the ideal partner for someone is the same as lying, whether you’re ready to admit that or not. Once you can’t keep the charade up any longer you’ll notice a few things. One, you’ve changed who you are, and you hate yourself for it. Two, you just wasted your time and mine. And three, there really is someone out there that is your complement and when you meet them you won’t have to fake it.

A good relationship is an easy one. You don’t have to convince the other person that you have stuff in common. When you meet someone who loves a band as much as you do, you just know they do, you don’t have to convince them of it. You don’t have to agree on everything, and you don’t have to have the same book collection. There’s a difference between loving a person and loving the things they love. The times when you love both, though, that’s the person you need to hold on to.

Sonic Youth - Mote

If this song sounds familiar to those few non-Sonic Youth fans, it’s because a while back The Faint covered it in their own style (and did a pretty good job, in my opinion.)

Cat enthusiast.

(I realized I was wearing (nearly) the same thing as Charlie when I saw this picture, so, naturally.)

(Also, I’m sorry.)
