What do you do now, Xeo?

My work is eating up so much of my time. But it's good work, so I'm not suicidal or anything.

So sleepy now.

Holy fuck... fuck the people who were running the Ops staff at the con I worked this past weekend. They were remarkably cunty and abrasive for NO REASON to people, including myself and others working as rovers.

Glad they've been fired and will be replaced with people I like next year.

So... what's everyone doing this month?

I've got three days off plus the weekend, and we're driving up to Sacramento to be with my cousin and her kids. Pretty excited to be getting away for a while, and probably going to do a day trip or two to San Francisco while we're up there.

Anyone else?

It's been raining off and on for the past three weeks. Each storm we've had this month has actually been named and we're getting water spouts touching down on the beach. You could hear the pouring through the ceiling.

This one is Pacific Storm Eric, this week. Last week it was Pacific Storm Derek and before that Pacific Storm Carolyn.

It was insanely bad driving home from work yesterday since my work is closer to the ocean (about 3 miles or so east AND north of it). There were parts where the water reached halfway up the cardoors of the vehicles around me. No idea how high it was on the SUV I was driving. But yeah, you seriously could have kayaked down some of the streets.

Then when I got home, it was as though it barely rained at all.

Last night, though, I was woken up by the sound of thunder that could have been from a movie. We RARELY get thunder that sound like more than a low rumble. This shit was LOUD. I'd have loved that if I didn't have to try to go back to sleep for work, finding that then impossible (worst part was it woke me up at 3 a.m. and then there wasn't any more epic thunder ).

All the same, we here in California DESPERATELY needed the rain.

I'd imagine so.

I'm so exhausted this week, and there's still two more workdays to go.

Also, someone who spent most of today coughing on me ended up with a 104-degree fever before we left work. Woooo.....

So far I've been lucky enough to not come down with anything. Keywords being "so far."

Really glad tomorrow's Friday.

I'm sorry to hear that, Cteno, but hey, trying new things is always good.

In other news I just tried Christmas shopping. Man, does this suck.

I hate that my brain thinks getting up at 7 is sleeping in.

Well, due to Wells Fargo tellers being shitty people I don't have access to my paycheck until Friday, though no clue what time that day.

It sucks for the fact that I need that money for this trip. Not sure if we're doing a day trip to San Fran that day or what.

As per board tradition, I post this thread with the dates changed and everyone gets to think about what they did this year. Feel free to fill it out too, if you like.


What have you done in 2014 that you have never done before?
- Many things. Shot zombie targets with an AK47 on my birthday, was a zombie extra for a 360-film shoot, shot a 1928 Thompson submachine gun while in Vegas, wore a giant floofy dress to Labyrinth Masquerade and felt damn pretty doing it, got to visit the Magic Castle and do all the fun things in there, cosplayed as a UNIT soldier and worked Dalek escort while in uniform, got to hang around Washington and Oregon for the first time (I was 1 the last time I was in either state), finally owned a proper Renaissance faire bodice not made by either my mom or Bran's grandmother, on top of that was immensely drunk at faire for the first time, got drinks at the Edison, Yamashiro, Atomic Liquors, the Rogue Public Alehouse of Astoria, the mermaid bar in Sac, a former wild west bordello, Frankie's Tiki Lounge, a bar hidden behind an old refrigerator, Tiki Ti, and had high tea in a few places, including the Mandarin Oriental. Drank apple pie moonshine. Watched Eurovision from beginning to end, attended several weddings I had to travel days for in at least two cases, played and beat "Bioshock," "Bioshock Infinite," and "Dishonored," hung out with the owner of the Georgia Peach, went to Boney Island and walked through the Halloween maze in that guy's yard that kicks Knott's Scary Farm's ass, made Scotch eggs, went to the Vista Viking Festival and Solvang's Faeriefest, and took part in a couple book groups, visited Mono Lake, got really into reading Icelandic sagas, eating ramen at different places, did Tim Tam slams, and perhaps most importantly got a consistent, full-time day job that's not a non-paying writing/editing job, internship, associated with school, or just an odd, freelance job I've picked up. There's more stuff, but this is already too long.

Did you keep your new years resolution from this year, and will you make one for next year?
- Yes, that being to try/learn at least one new thing a day. This year I'm adding on keeping a jar, into which we'll write notes for all the positive things that happen to us that we'll read at the end of the year.

Did anyone close to you give birth?
- Sara had her second child just this past month. Home birth and no drugs. The midwife apparently did the dishes and made her a sandwich before leaving after the birth. Also Nakey Heather had her daughter and Bill's young wife had their son. All super cute offspring.

Did anyone close to you die?
- Greg, one of the guys on our ConOps crew at the cons we work, went missing a few days and was found dead in a riverbed. No one's sure why he wandered off the way he did or the circumstances of his death. The very first thing I did with my first paycheck from my job was to donate to his funeral fund. We weren't close, but it's still tragic.

Otherwise Brandon's great-aunt passed away. They had a big Croatian funeral, which included massive amounts of food (we're talking 70 kinds of cookies on top of huge slices of prime rib, chicken, mostaccioli, etc) and everyone double-fisting alcoholic drinks from the open bar.

Did anyone close to you get married?
- The weddings I attended this year in chronological order: Sara's, Elara's (got to photograph her and Ben right afterward, though I didn't attend the nuptials and also went to the beach reception), Melinda's (though I'd only just met her at Sara's), and then Liz's. I knew many more people at Liz's, which felt like a Rocky reunion.



Did anyone close to you get divorced?
- Not as far as I know.

Where did you travel to in 2014?
- Washington and Oregon were the big travels this year. Went a couple times for weddings. And then, of course, there was our trip to Vegas. While we didn't leave the country, we still had an amazing time.





What would you like to have in 2015 that you lacked in 2014?
- "Eh.. not sure. Last year, I answered this saying I wanted more family harmony. Things have been "better," one could say, but only because my aunt has left the state and we don't really hear much from her, but she's trying to get the people out in Vegas to get in on the rampant thievery. Eh.. family harmony wouldn't be a bad thing to wish for."

That's what I wrote last year, and I've got to say things are definitely better. No, not with the aunt. She's a lost cause and none of us are in communique with her. She's still stealing the social security money, but we're less concerned with that these days. During the summer, my cousin and her daughter came to stay with us for the better part of June, and I feel we've tightened up our relationship with that end of the family. I'm writing this right now from their living room, since my parents, Bran, and I came to stay with them for the holidays and we had a great Christmas with them, and my mom's other sister, her husband, and my cousin's sister. It was the biggest Christmas I've had in a very long time with 12 of us there.



Anyway, what do I want out of next year? I'd like to travel more, but with my new job and no real days off except for weekends and major holidays, 2015 is going to be for building up funds, especially as I'm turning.... 30.

What dates from 2014 will you have etched in your memory, and why?
- Hm. This'll be tough to pick. This past Friday will definitely stick, though. We took my parents to San Francisco for their first time in more than 15 years. When Mom and her family first came to this country, SF was where they settled, so Mom was getting really nostalgic as we took her past places she's lived and had food from places she remembers eating. We also took them to see the Musee Mecanique and for dinner at Tommy's Joynt, and to see many other things they hadn't seen before. It was a good trip.

The week of the 4th of July was also pretty sweet. I was an extra for a zombie shoot one day with my face all painted up and I got to be closer to the cameras. Was hit on pretty heavily by a man with no nose (not zombie make-up. He literally had no nose). Then for a couple nights, Brandon, Christina, and I worked Labyrinth Masquerade and I got to wear this big, floofy dress and got lots of compliments. Usually I'm a wallflower at that event and no one talks to me. At the same time, my mom's best friend was visiting from Australia and we got to take her to the Magic Castle, an invitation-only venue in Hollywood. Though my feet took months to recover I felt pretty amazing.



What was your biggest achievement of the year?
- Getting a full-time PAYING job.

What was your biggest failure?
- "Not finding a steady paying job. "

That's what I wrote last year. Glad I kicked last year me's ass. Hm... I really don't know what my biggest failure was this year. Maybe that we went to the wrong burrito place the last time we were in SF and the right place was closed on Friday and will be until the middle of January. Yeah, first world problems.

Did you suffer injury or illness?
- My left ankle has been stiff.

What was the best thing you bought?
- Christmas presents for my family. My first time really getting to buy all the things I wanted for them, even on a mere half-paycheck.

Whose behavior merited celebration?
- I think I answered Lee before for the Ridgecrest/Victorville pick-up, but since happened on New Year's Day, I'd count that as this year. He also fronted the cost of a rental car so Brandon and I could make it up to Washington for his cousin's wedding. Thanks to him we were able to go get Brandon's uncle after his flight into Seattle (while spending the day up there before the pick-up), were able to drive all over the place and see amazing things.

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
- Just like Lee was this and last year's hero, the continuing villain is still Scott, Brandon's dad. This time, along with all the shit he pulled while we were visiting last post-Christmas through New Year's, he also blames us for his not attending his only daughter's wedding. He made such a stink about not even going on principle, saying Sara didn't even want him there and that he wouldn't go because no one made headway for him, paying for a plane ticket, housing him, etc. As it turns out, just about everyone in the family offered money and/or a place to stay. Then when we (Brandon, his mom, and I) drove up, he started calling around to the rest of the family, saying we were supposed to pick him up and take him with us and that he could have met us in Bakersfield (this after he complained he couldn't afford to drive us to Victorville, earlier in the year, so how the fuck was he going to get his truck over Walker Pass?) and then he'd ride the rest of the way with us. Anyway, we had to hear about this from different guests at the wedding (which, by the way, fuck the groom's family and the bridesmaids for refusing to help with ANYTHING. Brandon's mom, aunt, grandma, myself and Brandon were the decorating crew, clean-up crew, and everything else).

Compounded onto this, he made such a big deal that he was going to go to Melinda (Brandon's cousin)'s wedding, that it was going to be so much more fun. Come that big day he was also not there, THANKFULLY. Apparently no one wanted him there anyway, being the butt of several people's jokes. On our way home, we decided to take the 395 down so we could see Mono Lake and Bishop and other areas up there for the first time. Since we were going to be driving RIGHT PAST Ridgecrest, we ended up stopping to say hello. I've already sworn off staying with them, but even just that hour or so we were there was unbearable. Let's revisit the fact that he said he didn't have the money to drive us down to Victorville to meet Lee, saying he wouldn't go unless we gave him $60 (needing far less than that to gas up the truck for a trip down and back). Money we really did not have and so Lee came and rescued us. Well, Scott had a brand new jeep when we got there. Hell, EVERYONE in the house had a new car. Scott sounded like such a douchebag going on about how he made these Middle Eastern guys drive up from L.A. to deliver the jeep for him and talked the price down. Either way, he paid CASH, he says. $20,000. Says he pulled it out of his bank account and needed three IDs to withdraw it and so on. Where'd the money come from, Scott? I thought you were broke. Further insult to injury, the circumstances of his not going to Sara's wedding came up with him embellishing the fuck out some of the previous details. He says Sara didn't suddenly stop talking to him until AFTER we, as he puts it, told Brandon and Sara's mom that he, Scott, was pissed that he wasn't told Mike is in his mid-30s while Sara was just turning 20, continuing on to say it never bothered him and he wished them well (bullshit, by the way. He was pissed and calling Mike a pedophile). In other words, he's claiming Sara's cutting him off is OUR fault. Why don't you fucking pick up the phone and call your daughter, asshole, instead of coming up with stories as to why she's not ringing your phone off the hook? Who's supposed to be the "adult"? Eh, they're both massive stoners.

UUUGGGHH!!!

Well, that took up a ton of space here.

Where did most of your money go?
- Toward trips the trips up to Washington for weddings, though there seems to have been more than a fair share spent on beer and Teefury shirts. My first paycheck went entirely (though the first $10 went to Greg's funeral fund) toward Christmas presents for my family.

What did you get really, really, really excited about?
- Getting to go to Seattle.

What song will always remind you of 2014?
- I'm not particularly up on popular songs these days, but "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck, simply for the reason that one of the clients I have at work LOVES singing it at karaoke, along with "Achy Breaky Heart" and "Boot Scootin' Boogie." He's in his 50s or 60s and is mentally like 6-year-old, and I love him to death, he's so sweet.

Compared to this time last year, you are:
a) Happier or Sadder?
- Happier, maybe?
b) Thinner or Fatter?
- Hm, about the same, though I've definitely put on weight from this past weekend's visit to Sacramento.
c) Richer or Poorer?
- Richer. Holy crap, yes. But it's kind of easy to top the previous years upon getting a steady job.

What do you wish you would have done more of?
- Seems like I'm always writing "Make new friends," but I did make the acquaintance of many more people than I have in previous years. Fuck it, I'll just answer say, "Traveled the world more," because well, it's true despite being either broke or predisposed.

What do you wish you would have done less of?
- Worried. I did nothing but that A LOT.

How did you spend New Year's Eve? (December 31, 2013)
- Stuck in Ridgecrest with a busted car, a cat bite I was being medicated for, and all our money going toward feeding Brandon's dad and brother. Brandon paused "American Horror Story" so we could sit with our heads together, staring at his phone's clock and waiting for it to hit midnight.

How did you spend New Year's Day? (January 1)
- Waiting for Lee to come pick us up from Ridgecrest, then getting the car towed from Victorville using his Triple-A. Watched the sunset while barreling down the 395.

How did you spend Valentine's Day? (February 14)
- Worked Gallifrey One, dressed as a UNIT soldier. Brandon bought me a heart-shaped box of chocolate.



How did you spend St. Patrick's Day? (March 17)
- Didn't do anything in particular. I apparently played 2048.

How did you spend Easter? (April 20)
- Drunk at a renaissance faire with my boobs all on display.

How did you spend Cinco de Mayo? (May 5)
- Didn't celebrate the day or anything, but went out with my gaming group to vet a possible new player.

How did you spend the 4th of July? (July 4)
- Was at Labyrinth Masquerade. Photos posted above.

How did you spend Patriot Day? (September 11)
- Reading about Fossy Jaw, apparently.

How did you spend Talk Like a Pirate Day? (September 19)?
- Was in Washington for the second time. Hung around the Pike Place Market at dawn, drinking coffee from the first Starbucks and eating piroshkys for breakfast. Had an oyster shooter, watched them throw fish, and visited the Gum Wall. Walked around Gas Works Park and the Fremont arts area, then we ate balls in a gay bar.



Picked up Brandon's Uncle Nick from the airport and drove down to where Melinda's wedding was going to be, near the Oregon border. Stayed at Sara and Mike's friend's really old cabin with the craziest shower room. Sept. 19 is also my mom's birthday, so I called her when we got to the house.

How did you spend Halloween? (October 31)
- Counting stuff I did after midnight, Brandon and I went to check out Boney Island and swung by the Georgia Peach, who's owner invited Brandon and me to come hang out.



Halloween night, gave out candy for a bit. We literally had just 10 trick-or-treaters altogether. Went by the Georgia Peach with a six pack and hung out for a while, then went to a party at our friends' house. Bran and I brought so damn much beer.



Ah fuck it, just going to throw in Nov. 1 along with this because yeah, fuck it.

Day after Halloween, took Mom by the apple orchards for the season and had amazing cider and early American fare. Picked up a bunch of harvest stuff for Mom's Thanksgiving centerpieces for her holiday dinner for the people at her work. That night Voidcrush had a show in Long Beach and we got to walk through the intense Halloween maze these people had surrounding their house.



Day after that? Went to see "Doctor Faustus," ate noodles from a scorching hot stone bowl, and went to Dia de los Muertos celebrations. I was in a crazy good mood because a couple days before Halloween I was interviewed for and offered the job I have now.

How did you spend Thanksgiving? (November 27)
- Dinner with my parents at home. Was told all these people might be coming, so we had to push back our dinner time, expecting the guests to come late, but thankfully everyone canceled for one reason or another. This was also the first time we blew a circuit running the oven, microwave, refrigerator, stove, and toaster oven at the same time. Thankfully, it was near the end of making everything, which was just staying warm in the oven, but we ended up baking the rosemary biscuits in the toaster oven, plugged in on the other side of the house and sitting on the floor.

How did you spend Christmas? (December 25)
- Spent it with loved ones at my cousin's place in Sacramento. Picture for that posted somewhere above.

Did you fall in love in 2014?
- I tend to just use this space to talk about our anniversary, so fuck it I'm just going to do that. Brandon and I celebrated our 10th anniversary, and pretty much made a weekend of it since it fell on a Friday. On the day of, April 18th, we went out for Australian meat pies, then went whale watching. We went through a HUGE pod of common dolphins and saw a gray whale's fluke after we'd followed it for a while. Afterward we went to WonderCon. It was WonderCon again on Saturday, and then the renaissance faire on Sunday.



What was your favorite TV show?
- Remained the same for the most part: Game of Thrones at the top, as usual. Boardwalk Empire and Legend of Korra had AMAZING series endings this year. I will miss them both so very much. There's also Vikings and The Walking Dead (though I still don't really count TWD as a favorite), but it just won't be the same without them. New additions to the list would be Orange Is The New Black (which had a kick-ass second season) and Teen Titans Go. True Detective also made for good watching as well.

What was your least favorite show of 2014?
- American Horror Story: Freak Show. The anachronistic singing made me completely uninterested after three episodes, among many other things.

Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
- I always hate this question, and the answer is still no regarding anyone I know personally. When it comes to celebrities, I sort of developed a hearty dislike for Shia LeBeouf after his plagiarism scandals. But then this sort of makes up for it.

What was the best book you read?
- Hard to say. In terms of gravity, I'd say it's the Icelandic sagas I've been thoroughly into reading.

What was your greatest musical discovery?
- Didn't really explore music much this year.

What did you want and get?
- Trips to Washington and other places along the way, to shoot a 1928 Thompson submachine gun in Vegas, to have brunch at the Magic Castle, and a job.

What did you want and not get?
- Didn't get to go to Arizona this year, even for faire. Next year, though.

What was your favorite film of this year?
- Brandon and I only really saw a handful of new movies in the theater, but I think we can both agree that Guardians of the Galaxy was by far the best. American Hustle a close second (granted it came out in mid-December of last year, we saw it at a theater earlier this year).

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
- Had a monte cristo, saw the North Hollywood shooters' body armor, hiked to some caves, had pizza, and shot up a zombie target with an AK-47.



What is one thing that would have made your year more satisfying?
- More world travel. That's pretty much all I really want but won't be getting for a bit.

How would you describe your personal fashion concept of 2014?
- Apparently wearing a shitload of tops from TeeFury, and for a time I was wearing a scarf on my head a lot. Oh and I wore long, flowy skirts more often.

What kept you sane?
- Remembering that there's always something fun on the horizon.

What celebrity/Public figure did you fancy the most?
- I kinda developed a crush on Brandon Flowers in the video for "Cowboys Christmas Ball."

What political issue stirred you the most?
- It's not necessarily political, but California's drought was pretty much in the forefront of my mind.

What news story was the most overblown?
- Anything that had to do with Kim Kardashian's ass being on a magazine cover or everyone expending so much energy complaining about how Milo Manara drew Spider-Woman on a variant comic book cover.

Who do you miss?
- I'll go with last year's answer: Huell Howser.

Did you reconnect with anyone?
- Christina and I hung out a lot more and had a gaming group for a while. My character started a few orgies to get out of tight situations and had an insanely high charisma to get people to fall in love with him and let my party get away with all kinds of shit.

Tell us a life lesson you learned in 2014.
- Just about anything could be made fun somehow.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
- I'm amused that last year I quoted the Rains of Castamere since I attended a few weddings this year and made a point of somehow including it in most cases. The most blatant was when I played it at Sara's wedding reception and no one noticed.

Anyway, I guess I'll keep that song for this year as well.

What plans do you have for 2015?
- Working Anime L.A. and Gallifrey. Supposedly Christina and I are having tea sometime in January. I'm turning 30 in two weeks. Not sure what I'm going to do, though I'll be working during the day of it. But yeah, I'll be working most of the year.

What are your resolutions for 2015?
- I'm keeping the same as before, but including the whole keeping jar for positive things.

What will you be doing for New Year's Eve?
- Since I started this a few days ago, but am finishing it right on New Year's Eve (12 minutes to midnight), I can tell you what we've done thus far: made hot chocolate from the chocolate truffles we've had in the house for the holidays and spiked it with Rumchata. We just finished watching "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion."

God, I'm surrounded by sick people. This past week so many staff members were out with a cold and lots of clients were showing up to program without coats or sweaters, coughing up a storm.

One, who kept coughing on me in the van, ended up having a 104 degree temperature that afternoon when one of the staff decided to check him. Another one has been rubbing his snot on EVERYTHING and he too is coughing all over and needed to be sent out with one of our spare wear jackets. In that one's case, even when we called his group home to inform them of his being sick, they said they knew he was when he left and that they weren't going to come get him. FUUUUCK.

There've been quite a few over the past year alone, but I'll start by talking about my first time ever getting drunk.

I'd been buzzed many times up to that point, but I was always fully in control of myself, speaking coherently, able to walk straight, remember everything I did the next day, etc. Pretty much the only reason I'd be throwing up the next day was because I fell asleep with it still running through my system. Don't know why, but if I fall asleep with alcohol in me I get sick. I can't just sleep it off or else.

The first time I ever got DRUUUUUUNK was with my new coworkers at my university paper. It was my first time going to the local pub for dollar beer night and we all kept buying rounds. Ten beers in we're all plastered, laughing our asses off about everything, and then our opinion editor goes to the bathroom. He comes back going on about how he had trouble getting paper towels out of the dispenser and so he just punched it off the wall. We all laugh so hard, but also under the assumption he was full of shit. That is, until he lifted up his hand for some reason or another and we all noticed it was BLOODY. He ended up breaking some part of his hand and everything. Either way, I'm wrecked off my ass on the curb out front, singing "Fat Bottom Girl" next to him and suddenly going, "Dude, that paper towel thing must have said something fucked up to you to get you to hit it so hard."

More drunk stories later.

Thanks so much for the thread and compliments! <3

And congratulations on your new little bundle!

I spent it at work (which was particularly shitty), then urgent care, and then at a steak house eating lobster mashed potatoes. At least the EKG was normal.

I should get that printed on business cards. No one would get it.

I ended up taking yesterday off, by order of my boss, since I've been pretty sick. Still, staring down the barrel of a 4-day weekend, I ran around town throwing money around like a lunatic. The last couple days have been a blur. There was a high tea at the Millennium Biltmore, sucking down a flaming punch bowl of rum at a tiki bar, Walt Disney's grave, buying army boots, some guys getting into a bar fight, and running into the porno section (which had several Purrell dispensers) of a video store while really buzzing.

We had cold here for maybe a couple weeks, but it's since been yo-yoing around the 60s and 80s.

The trees are only now changing color and dropping leaves because they don't know what to do otherwise.
