11:22 am - hmmm... wait, I remember doing this... I think
|
Cold wind blows through the shadowy peaks, and makes an eerie sound as it flows over a shallow cave. Something sirs from within and then from the darkness a figure emerges.
Well hello folks! Yes it has been a long time since I even logged into this site. I've been in a bit of a hibernation as my work was eating most of my online time. However there has been a lull in my job and I am finally able to be a bit more digitally social.
Where to begin, so le me esplain... no there is too much, I some up. Well projects have been going slowly, still working on the Travisty. It's currently in scale model stage to I can work out the logistics and financial portions more accurately. The van is limping it's way to the grave so instead of getting a new one or fixing it up, I plan on starting to ride bikes more often (I only live a mile from my office). I just got back from seeing my family in Cali, and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spottedvasa came with me (she has a better rundown of the events). I am building a new Chicken coop for the household so that we can get a couple more chickens (a more steady supply of fresh eggs is awesome). Starting a better exercise routine including some martial arts work. Going into savings mode (and likely going to try for some more PPD studies) to cover some recent dental work and to build up enough capital to start day trading in the future.
That's all for now, but hopefully ill be around here a bit more often.
current mood:  awake

Greetings Lj land
It has been some time since i posted. I have just been to busy at work to type, and recently i haven't even had a chance to turn on my home computer. being insanely busy with work, and all the events and side projects i have been helping with. However i have been Amazingly happy over the last 1 and 3/4 months. Not only am i dating one of the most amazing and gorgeous women i have ever met, but my talons have become a huge hit, my bills are steadily reducing, and the Pirate ship project is coming back into focus.
Wow, i wrote quite a bit, I'm going to be putting these behind cuts so that you can pick and choose what if any of my ramblings you wish to read.

My friend posted this, and I plan to be going as well.
So far I have heard from everyone that July the 26th is best for them.
So mark your calenders to join us at Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels on Saturday July 26th!
Does anyone have ways to get discounted tickets? That would be really helpful to everyone. Let me know if you want to come out. If we can get enough people interested we can qualify for group rates. Email me at pandora2727 at gmail.com.
And tell your friends!
So now i have told you, lets take over the park with our awesomeness.

5:06 pm - Holly massive updates Batman
|
So yea, update goodness, it has been quite a while since I have posted non Meme stuff. Well moving again this week (and probably for the next 2 weeks as well) Moving in with some friends of mine (mike and Brandi) they are great people, but that have a lot of pets and there current standards of living are to low for my taste. Hopefully with me taking over allot of kitchen stuff (I love the kitchen) that my influence will help them raise the bar a bit.
I also had to postpone my trip to Lockhart for ship building due to my van exploding. While it turned out to be an easy fix, the trouble of getting it to a safe place to park and the timing of it just lead to a mildly poisoned Connon, and allot of sweat in the sun hunting down the problem. Speaking of vehicular projects, I have some plans in mind to convert my bicycle into a version of a moped. I’m going to try mounting a small motor to it and rigging up the chain assembly with a centrifugal clutch. I am going to try keeping the engine under 40cc witch will keep it in the realm of “Motor assisted bicycle” which does not require Tags or insurance. This should help in reducing the fuel costs I incur with the Van O Doom, and should pay for itself in a little less than a month.
In other news Social events have been occurring much more frequently than I was previously used to, however this is a very good thing. I am enjoying the family of friends I have adopted here in Austin, and I want to thank you all for being the wonderful people you are. I am also exceptionally squee lately due to recently building a relationship with Spottedvasa, She is an amazing person, and has helped fill my life recently with immeasurable joy.
Well that is what i have time to write between calls today. off to the Batcave to finish packing.
current mood:  busy

1:33 pm - Meme Yoinked from Spottedvasa
|

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad. When you're finished, you might want to post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

9:23 pm - “My Fliptentions” The Follow-up
|
Hi Lj,
First flipside was great hands down, and I have no doubt I will be retuning next year. However there are some things that I have to deal with from flipside that I had not expected, and need to work through.
Recapping my list:
Let go of the last of my worries that people won’t like me. (Mostly done, this did come up a few times this event)
Relax and not worry about all the details I missed (stressed over some details, but I say this one is mostly good)
Meet a lot of new people and flirt with most of them (I met a few new people, but only flirted with the ones I already knew)
Find People to help fill my art van “the steel chest” with fine “booty” (In the sense of the word I had intended this was not accomplished. Several women spent time napping in my van cause it was quiet comfy and relatively cool.)
Try to find some “booty” for myself in the process (as above statement, I did not accomplish this in the sense I was intending. However I did get to spend time with what I would consider the most precious person I knew at the whole event. And since the term in its traditional sense more refers to valuables, I say that in a way I had the greatest “booty” ever)
Dance a lot (including in a go-go cage) (mission accomplished ;) and thanks to those who applauded and raved about my strip tease performance)
Swim as much as I can (Also mission accomplished, the creek was the only place to really be comfortable during the heat of the day)
Stop in and wave at as many theme camps as I can. (Holy moly there were more of them than I could have imagined, but I stopped in at a whole lot and it was awesome)
I got to see so many cool things, and there was so much amazing music around. The land and creek were beautiful, and the people were amazing. The weather was a bit rough, the heat was intense and the ants where everywhere. But overall it felt right to be there, I truly did feel “home”
Now here comes the Issues that have my brain whirring since it’s over. (Names and specifics omitted for respect of privacy)
current mood:  contemplative

11:49 am - A little help maybe?
|
|
Greetings LJ land; I have a bit of a dilemma. So on Friday at 11:30 I will need to trek down the street from my apartment about 5 miles to the north Austin medical center. The reason I am making this trek is for vasectomy surgery. After this procedure which I imagine will take less than 1 hour I will need to find a way to get back to may apartment. I will likely be on pain killers, but I think motor control of my legs to drive my van would be lacking. I had originally planed to just camp in the back of my van in the parking lot until I felt ready to drive. But I am beginning to think that might not be the wisest choice. So I would like to place a call out to the LJ world to see if anyone happens to be in the north Austin area Friday morning/afternoon and would be able to either to make the round trip (Apartment to hospital and back again) or just pick me up from the hospital and leave my van there over the weekend. If all else fails I do have the original plan and can chill in the van for a couple hours till I can drive again. Also even though it’s a simple procedure, all who can, please keep me in your thoughts for a speedy and safe procedure and recovery. My contact info is available in my profile if you want to contact me, or can offer assistance with my dilemma.
current mood:  A bit anxious

So here we are, less than 1 month before Flipside and I still don’t have my van as an art car. EEP! No worries I have spray paint and tape if it gets too close. Also so many cool things going on and only 24 hours in a day, damn if I don’t have a Tardis or shadow clone jutsu. Eyore’s rocked, had a great day (evening was rough due to sun sickness and dehydration, sorry to all those I missed) Sunday went well, did a little work on flipside stuff and hopefully more work this weekend. This week involves an Asian costume movie night (hopefully) and another work weekend with the circus. Sofar my plans are not solidified, but let me layout what I think I have sofar, if I forgot something let me know so I can schedule effectively. Tonight – Barebones orchestra at hole in the wall downtown at 10 ( I'm on my bike right now, so if someone up north is going to come text or e-mail me if i can hitch)
Tuesday- ummm… maybe D’s place for video games or more van paint Wed – looks to be a poly dinner thing Thurs - nothing solid yet (maybe the Asian costume thing) Friday- IRON MAN at the alamo with austingoddess
Saturday- circus construction over with M7 Sunday – Gaming afternoon with triplemare
current mood:  crazy

12:34 pm - Weekend Updates
|
Finally got caught up on LJ posts from the weekend and am ready to give a brief rundown.
Well my “weekend” started Thursday, I went out to PBF at around 2 and setup stuff for the event. It was wonderful. I was a little nervous this being my first PBF, but after I got there and stated helping and feeling useful, I was able to relax a bit. There were great discussions and I loved the pirate tag game. Every time I thought that it couldn’t get any better, something would get even better. I got to try some really amazing foods, and I finally put faces to allot of my LJ friends. And I got to dance all night long with awesome people to some really groovy music. I got back Sunday afternoon and had a meeting with my flipside camp. It was pretty productive even though I feel a bit out of place since I don’t have a lot of experience or artistic talent to offer. But I hope I can just provide enough muscle and extra hands that I don’t become a burden.
Hers how this weeks schedule is setting up
Tonight: who knows, I’m free
Wed : dropping off tent with B, then off to whole foods and A’s kitchen to prepare raw recipes
Thur: watching my roommates 8 year old for an hour while they go to Yoga, then I’m likely free after 8:30
Friday: heading off to CMA to spend the weekend talking philosophy and meeting new people.
current mood:  happy

3:27 pm - Woot meme time
|
This is a question that i saw in a friends LJ just a second ago, and I would love to see other people's answers:
If you had five lives to live, what would you do with each one?
Bear in mind that you’re still you, just five times over. Don't worry about skills you don't have in your current incarnation, because you'd have a whole new lifetime to cultivate them. Your post doesn't need to include only income-generating careers, just try to share things you can imagine being the central focus of your life. My answers:
1. An actor, Preferably in musicals
2. Owner of a gaming store
3. Soldier of Fortune
4. Cruse ship captain
5. Founder of a self sustaining gamer geek commune

10:41 am - Weekend Refreshment
|
I had an awesome weekend, Started out Friday night with a housewarming party at my friend’s place (Heather and Jake). It was fun to see old friends and hang with the cool kids lol.
Had to leave early-ish to catch up with (what has been dubbed) the “smexy” trio. We played a version of jenga that was amazing, and had a great time. I left there early Saturday morning to go spring freaktacular at Canyon Lake.
I had a lot of first experiences there, and am grateful to all my friends who helped them happen. There was a tough time for part of Saturday night, but I participated in correcting the situation. While not fun, I think the experience helped strengthen the bonds between me and several friends.
I know this coming weekend will be equally as amazing (minus the drama of last weekend). I will be getting out of work a day earlier than expected, so I will be able to come out to PBF on Thursday. At this point I have no one confirmed riding with me, but I have the huge Cargo van (5 seatbelts and up to 1 ton of storage including a roof rack) so if people are interested in ridesharing let me know before Thursday
current mood:  chipper
