I am SUCH a City Girl

I went camping this weekend. My favorite view was the one of Downtown LA through the mountains and the fog on the way home

The moblog has a couple of pictures.

It was a good time though. Lots of tasty food. Nice, toasty campfires and s’mores of course. A small hike, more good food, a sleeping bag rated for sub-zero temperatures, and pretty views, even the ones that DIDN’T have the city in them.

Then I came home and played The Sims 2 Pets for hours until Jeff dragged me kicking and screaming from the computer for dinner and to watch Rent.

I am now lathered with Icy Hot and I almost feel human again.

Friday’s Feast – 116 – Week 11

Join me in Friday’s Feast!

Appetizer: What is your favorite beverage?
Pepsi, yay! I also love hot chocolate, and grape juice.

Soup: Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.
At work: invoices, a mountain of sticky notes, and an Entered On: stamp. At home: a hundred water cups, speakers, things I don’t want the dog to eat.

Salad: On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?
8.5.. I’m pretty honest but I am overdramatic sometimes and things get exagertated sometimes.

Main Course: If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?
Glendale would be Valley Valley, since when you get down to it, that’s what the city is named

Dessert: What stresses you out? What calms you down?
Everything stresses me. I’m a big worry wart. Especially about money. I’m calmed down by sleep, hot baths, and music.

My Head is All Over

No, I don’t mean that my head exploded. Geez. I mean that I have about a gazillion things to say and no real organization to how I want to say it. So now, you get Randumbness.

One: I’m getting a new cell phone. Mmmm hmm. I called T-Mobile (you remember Katie Vs T-Mobile I’m sure) and told them about losing my car insurance. I was very straight forward and said, “Look. My contract with you is up in a month. This is the first time I’ve ever had a problem with you guys.. it just happens to be a large one. Now, I have to go through the process of finding a new insurance company, I’d really rather not have to find a new cell phone provider as well. So here’s the deal: you make this right somehow, and I’ll stay.” So they transfered me to ADVANCED customer care, and the guy there offered to get me a killer deal on a phone. So I went to look at some, then called them again.. I am getting a Blackberry Pearl for super cheap. This phone is SO SWEET dude. I’m happy. Yes, they cost me a huge amount of chaos with one mistake, but they did a damn good job making it up to me. I also decided that me and this phone were destined to be together. Why? Well, look at the colors the skins for it come in. Do they look familiar? HELL YES IT’S MY BLOGS COLOR SCHEME!! Fate baby, fate.


Two: I got suckered into going camping this weekend. I’m really not into that whole nature thing. Bleh.


Three: I wrote up a why register? page that you all should read, then you should see the error of your non-registered way and then.. register.


Four: You should also sign up for the new feedburner smartfeed because my low readership according to their stats is making me sad. :(


Five: My mom’s friend from second life just started a comic called Ginger Dead and it’s really morbidly cute. Love You To Pieces is going to be my new gravatar when they re-enable logins.


Six: I had a lot more things to say earlier, but now I’ sleepy and must pack. And for some reason, using hr makes my layout go wonky. WTF?

National Evaluate Your Life Day

It has come to my attention (thanks Mom!) that today is National Evaluate Your Life Day.

Allow me to take a moment to evaluate my life:
*thinks long and hard*

.. my life sucks!

Wow, that was easy. Your turn!

Sadly, I missed Virus Appreciation Day, Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day, and Wear Something Gaudy Day, but I am now aware that Saturday is Babbling Day and I will be taking full advantage of that.

If I Wasn’t Sure Before, I am Now

Oh for the love of god! Just when I thought I was done cleaning up the aftermath of Katie vs. T-Mobile

Nope.

I just found out that my car insurance got canceled. Why? Well, because they went to cash my check and the bank wouldn’t cash it cause it tried to go through WHILE I HAD A NEGATIVE NINETY DOLLAR BALANCE.

GRRRRRR!!!!!!

So my car insurance people say that I have to open a new policy because they don’t reinstate accounts that have NSF’s on them. So that means that the TWO YEARS of me being good and making all my payments don’t exist anymore so I get no Katie Is Awesome Discount any more.

God dammit t-mobile. This is way more grief than I’m willing to put up with.

On the bright side this is a good excuse for me to finally get around to finding a new car insurance company. Mine “lost” my payments all the time (… funny how quickly records reappear when I send them copies of cleared checks) and liked to not send me my bills.

BUT STILL. I’ve been driving for a week with no insurance cause they didn’t even tell me they canceled.
