GIGANTIC DUMP POST OF DOOM

[kiaxet]

So. Allllllll sorts of stuff to talk about.

Those of you who read ggmoonycrisco's journal know Colorado got a blizzard day after last. I haven't seen snow this deep since we lived in Cheyenne (four years ago) and had the ten-foot snowdrift outside of our house. (That was also the day I found out the snowpants my neighbors had given me weren't snowpants at all. I was *soaked.*) But yeah. Snowed in for the past few days.

I guess this means we will be having a white Christmas after all.

I hope it's not too white, though, because on the 26th we're leaving for Hawaii! :D

I am SO looking forward to this. It should be better than last year, especially since I don't have any homework to do this time. (Really, after last time, is it any wonder I hate Hemingway? XD;) We're going to go to the North Shore, take surfing lessons, go back to the international market (:DDDDDDDDDDDD), stay at a freaking awesome hotel with a freaking awesome beach and a freaking awesome pool, hang out at the Barefoot Bar (Virgin Lava Flow? Why YES), eat at Jameson's by the Sea, eat at Dukes, eat at the Sunbird...:D
And I'm going Boba-hunting. ^^
Now, for those of you I know personally, I'm going to bring you all something. I'm thinking Tiki heads. XD; (That's not what they're called, but that's what my family calls them.)



They look a tad freaky in the pictures, but I rather like them. If you want one, leave a comment and tell me what color. (Yes, even those of you who already told me - I have a pathetic memory.) If a lot of people want them, then you may all end up getting the keychain size - the heads are about as big as a quarter on those, and...well, they're keychain-sized. ^^;

Now, to completely switch gears,  sbcpanurusent me an e-mail today offering me a job in Pepperdine's Tech Central.
The upsides:
- I GET TO BE A TECHIE. :DDDDDDDD
- I know people there, and I'll probably be more comfortable there (personally) than I am working with the call center. (Don't get me wrong, I love the people at the call center, but I'm just not as close to them as I am to the people in Tech Central.)
- People won't hang up on me (I think).
- I GET TO BE A TECHIE. I cannot say that enough. XD

The downsides:
- I can't give up my job at the Call Center. I actually do like it there, I'm bringing home a pretty good-sized paycheck every two weeks, and I'm pretty dang good at what I do. (I just made it to the $25K board. This pleases me immensely.)
- I don't know how to be a techie. ^^;
- Even though I'm taking fewer classes this semester, I still don't know if I can handle two jobs. I do need to work a minimum of 12 hours a week a the call center, and I don't know what the requirement is for Tech Central.
- If work-study is required, I'm screwed. I have no work-study. That's *why* I work for the call center. ^^;

I suppose I should e-mail him back and give him a definite "maybe."
...Or he'll just read this. XD; I FEEL SMART NOW

And to switch gears yet again (WHEEEEEEE) fandom time! :D

So who here follows Heroes? Well, has anybody seen the article in TV Guide a few weeks ago? No? Go read it.
HOH. MAH. GAWD. Christopher Eccleston is a hero. OH HELLS YES. This means that I will be an awful person to watch that show with anymore. I'll be sitting there making jokes about sonic screwdrivers and the TARDIS, and the people I'm watching it with (who won't get the jokes) will kill me. XD;
It's gonna be great.

I've started playing KHII again. I finally got through Twilight Town, and let me tell you, everything makes so much more sense the second time through. (Yes, that cracktastic book at Yen Sid's tower also made sense. Each chapter is a very vague summary of a KH game. No, I'm serious.) The first time I played it, I was sick of Roxas by the second day (MINIGAMES KILL ME PLZ) and wanted to hurry up and get to Sora already. This time, I was nearly crying. The day Roxas left the Organization, he pretty much screwed himself over. It made me sad. D:
And I can see why people hate DiZ so much. He does act very callous towards Nobodies in general at the beginning of the game. But then again - and you've got to give him credit for this one - he does do this.

Riku: Why did you let him see the train?
DiZ: Because he missed the trip to the beach.

SEE HE IS A NICE GUY. Sheesh.
And my brother and I were quoting that comedy routine the whole freaking time. ("And I look at all the jobs so I can earn the money to get on the dope-ass Disney train to get to the fun f*cking part of the game!") Believe me, I now need a Dope-Ass Disney Train icon. We used that phrase waaaaaaay too much.
And my little brother? Yeah. He called Axel and Roxas "butt buddies." And yes, I did laugh my ass off at that one. He was making fun of them, of course, but...well, it was bad, We then started making fun of Setzer's sexuality and theorized on the suggestive shape of Struggle bats and how the knocked the Orbs out of people...
And yes, "Isn't this ROMANTIC" was ripped to shreds. Waaaaaaaay too much batshit inappropriate fun for a supposedly safe Disney game. XD;

And I was in the Paixao Christmas chat again night before last. (This was, of course, *before* I got my laptop taken away for a day for being on too late...actually, that was *when* I got it taken away. ^^; ) Whenever I go into the chat, things get...weird. I managed to completely cheese off Laharl (demon overlord from...something I don't know ^^; ), and it almost came to blows. It was...interesting. We also managed to have an entire conversation in vague threats and stage cues. I wish I'd saved it - it was all sorts of fun. Hopefully everybody will be on again tonight - I'm looking forward to it.

Not only that, but I told one of my friends he should app Xemnas. He says he might actually do it.
...Scarily enough, he'd make a really freaking good Xemnas. Wow. XD;

...I've *got* to finish my app. ^^;

I've heard about Eccleston joinnig Heroes for awhile now...
And guess whose friend's dad works on Heroes?
Guess who's going to meet the cast?
GUESS WHO GETS TO MEET CHRISTOPHER FUCKING ECCLESTON?
I am excited. And I am not gonig to be able to refrain from making some stupid Doctor Who joke.

I...I...if it were anybody else, I would be professing hatred in CAPSLOCK OF RAGE.

...but it's you. I can't hate you.

Can you get me his autograph? *does some pathetic fangirling on the sidelines over here*

[http://users.livejournal.com/__fantine/]

I'll try getting his autograph or a picture of something. Knowing me, I'll probably stare for a few minutes before running away or, I don't know, doing the Wayne's World "We are not worthy" thing. The friend has been hinting that it might fall through and if it does, I'll rip her head off because ADHDHSDKHS MUST MEET DOCTOR.

OMG You *SO* have to work at Tech Central. 'Cause I work there. And I like it very much. You don't have to be a techie if you're just a student worker for tech central (if they hire you for something else like tech rescue, then that's a different story.)

But basically, what I do while I'm there? Answer phones. Sometimes you only get like...five calls in a day. And most phone calls involve saying to your callers, "No, we don't sell computers/software/computer stuff in the store, but you can check out our website to see what products we sell online. Yes, you get discounts on everything. Here's the web address." Or, "Oh, I see you're having a computer problem. I'll transfer you to one of my co-workers here who can help you with that." And then when people come in, you make sure to say "hi" and see what they need. If they want to buy Windows XP or Microsoft Office (literally the ONLY things we sell on hand in the store), you take care of that. Oh, and you occasionally check on the computer lab to make sure that there's no trash and that the chairs are all pushed in. You do that like... twice a day. :p

So,to summarize: Unless they're hiring you specifically as a techie, then you'll just be a student worker. And you'll do what I do. I love my job. It may be boring, but you can do homework while you're there. It's basically like a paid study hall, (only me=art major =can't study at work) But yes. I recommend. ^^

And WOAH have FUN in HAWAII!!! Soooo cool. :D :D

Tech Central eh? Maybe I'll see you around sometime...tho I only work the morning shifts.

[sbcpanuru.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, I guess it would've been smart to read this, eh?

But yeah, like I said on AIM today, it's no problem if you're already overcommited for hours, we've always been a bit short on workers, so we'll live regardless.

Just to clarify, you wouldn't be working in Tech Central at all, just transporting laptops and relaying messages to and from there. Our student workers sit in the dungeon and occasionally help us do lifting stuff and whatever supervised hardware-related diagnostics/replacement (training provided, of course) we have time to assist with.

[sbcpanuru.livejournal.com]

...by "the dungeon" I mean the Field Support office right next door to the (donation) call center. And yeah, work study helps a lot; we'd need to do a bit more fast talking to get an exception, but we "probably" could if we had to.

Larharl is from both Disgea and Disgea 2...although I have yet to actually see him in the latter.

Dude, the blizzard was on the news in England! Pretty crazy. Glad you're doing alright though. Let me know if you get that random note I sent ya. Cheers!
