So I was under the impression that I posted regarding other things, but it seems as though I am mistaken. The last big post I made was right after my accident.
Despite the doldrums of work and school, there have been only a couple of spikes in happenings with me.
October was spent mostly dealing with repercussions from getting into our car accident. I was on the phone with Progressive Insurance frequently and for long amounts of time. Even despite that we resolved things quickly with the vehicle situation, we still had a medical claim to consider. Unfortunately, I closed the medical claim and I think my leg is still fucked up. (I thought it was just bruising, but it still hurts, and it's been two or three months.) I did, however, get a bitchin' massage out of the deal. Sarah and I both ended up getting a grand each in our settlements. Dad thought I should have fought for more, considering how much money insurance companies have, but we decided just to settle. Sarah felt weird getting any money from them at all. I didn't.
November was good. The beginning through the middle of the month was very much perfunctory in that we went to school, worked, went to school, worked, et cetera. Things got a little crazy before Thanksgiving, because I was working more, and so was Sarah, and we had to prepare for our trip to California. Things got stressful (I feel) because Sarah had never been on an airplane before, and didn't really know how to pack for it, and was worried about what you could and couldn't bring, and basically it all turned into a big clusterfuck.
California was fantastic. I wish we had had more time to be there, but school and work both limited how long we could spend away. We were already sacrificing a day of school to be there as long as we were.
We spent Thanksgiving with my family, Friday in San Fransisco, Saturday in Monterey, and Sunday in Palo Alto. One of the highlights of my trip was definitely seeing Dmitri again. After my senior year of High School, Dmitri and I stopped talking. Well, more like he stopped talking to me. At the time it was a devastating blow to me, and I felt rather wounded by it until I started talking to him again recently. He came for Thanksgiving dinner, and honestly I couldn't be more grateful that he has re-appeared in my life. I felt badly that I wasn't around for him when he was going through the hardships he faced, but such is life. We are reunited and it's better that way.
Sarah fell in love with San Fransisco, and in particular, Haight street. I believe I could quote her saying, at least a few times, "I want to live here." We went up and down the street looking at head shops, little coffee shops, tattoo parlours, and let's not forget Amoeba Music. Took her to the Pier, which was a little too touristy, but nice nonetheless.
Monterey was also a great time, despite that I felt like shit the whole day. Ever since I had touched down in California I found myself with the most annoying fucking allergies evar. In any case, we went to the aquarium and saw the fishies and otters and seals and the like. Jellies were awesome. Got good pictures.
Palo Alto was nice, went to Stanford and such... wasn't quite as exciting as Friday and Saturday. All in all it was a great trip; I'm glad Sarah got to meet some of my extended family and my friends.
Since we've been back it's been the same, despite what I updated about last night. That being the change of apartments. Unfortunately it's been difficult to save money in order to buy people gifts for the season, but I'll do my best.
I also bought a PS3. (this was before I didn't have money) I can't afford to buy games for it, but it's fucking awesome. I can't wait for more titles to come out so I can not buy those, too!
More random things:
-My music collection has expanded to 90GB (Thank you Mattman)
-Metalocalypse is my new favorite show. That and some of the new South Park episodes (I mean, come on)
-New Couch today. W00t
-Built new computer a while back. Much better.
-I lost a lot of weight.
-Here are some pictures of my Cali trip:
( Clix for Pix )
And that's all I've got, bitches. |
