[Current Mood | tired]

Well, personal update here. First off, the wage freeze is over! Joyous days! They instituted my raise (which, given the circumstances, I'm pleased with) and also opted to pay everyone who shoulda had theirs done by the time the freeze was implemented all of their back pay. Which means I got a nice "bonus" check. Life is good, right? Right. With this money, I decided to get my cars tires looked at (they did not need changing, thankfully. Erik (my boss) thinks that I can get another year out of them if I don't drive much, which I don't. Anyway, I also opted to get some pressing medical stuff done for my kitty pixie. She got her dental work done. Once again, not as bad as I feared, and I should still have a nice sum left over. As I'm typing this, Blaze is being brazen and hopping onto my desk, flopping on my keyboat3146... well you get the idea. He's been incredibly affectionate of late and I'm not sure why but I'm definitely not complaining. I think it's because he's cold. Wyre was set to bring in almost twice what he owes monthly for rent and everything was going good. Well everyone knows that shit doesn't happen to me - nothing good ever does without bad to balance it. Kinda a bummer.

Anyway, what's the bad you ask? Well, nothing other than Wyre getting let go from his job. Now he's jobless and set to once again not make rent. Oi... I don't want to have to do it but I may end up having to send him home. It sucks and I don't want to, but frankly he's way behind on rent, doesn't help with food, and overall is a burden I cannot, and should not have to shoulder. I gave him until January to find a job or a new place. I hope that I can maintain this apartment by myself, but hopes aren't high on it. I may have to try to find a new or temporary room-mate until April, at which point I'm hoping to find a house or something cheaper to rent. We'll see.So yeah, that's a fairly accurate summary of my life right now.

I did have to get a new couch, which I paid off immediately of course, and got a killer deal on it, though the kitties did manage to prick a few holes in the leather ($1800 Cordovan couch for 500 bucks out the door). It looks great. Um... what else.. work's been going all right. I need a vacation, and I guess everyone is getting one for the xmas shutdown. Dec 24th - Jan 1st. Fun. Oh! I'm Insane. Well, Insane in the Membrane. On WoW. Yup! I finally finished grinding out everything needed for the title "Michichael the Insane" in World of Warcraft (Venture Co).

That's about it! It's late, I'm going to bed.

The Watchmen [Mar. 7th, 2009|12:13 pm]

The Watchmen was a pretty good movie. A little bloated, but one thing they did makes up for all of it. This is not a spoiler because you have no idea what i'm talking about, but...

The cat is the only loose end, the only logical conclusion being there is Celestial Bestiality.

Also, there's nothing after the credits, so don't bother staying in the theatre. That is all!

Kink Test! [Jan. 31st, 2009|11:08 pm]
[Current Mood | indescribable]

Your result for The Kink Spectrum Analysis Test...


Blue (450 nm)



Wow! You have quite a big repertoire when it comes to kinky sex. And you're probably also willing to play on either side of the fence. You should look for another Blue, or an Ultraviolet if you want to broaden your horizon. Greens may be okay as well but will probably bore you after a while. Reds are too vanilla for you.


But I promised you a more detailed analysis, so here it is. Note that most scales are twofold: There are separate values for giving (active) and receiving (passive). If you scored high on one of them, you should look for a partner who scored high on the other. If you scored high on both of them, go for someone who is similar (or for multiple partners if you're into that). If you scored low on both, this probably is not your kind of kink.


You scored 20% giving and 54% receiving on oral.


You scored 44% giving and 90% receiving on anal.


You scored 77% giving and 93% receiving on bondage.


You scored 56% giving and 38% receiving on humiliation.


You scored 33% giving and 30% receiving on pain.


You scored 52% dominance and 48% submission.


You scored 42% voyeurism and 45% exhibitionism.


Besides that, you're 38% into fetishism and 56% polysexual (i.e. interested in sex with multiple partners, whether at the same time or not). You'll probably want a partner who is similar, whether you scored high or low in these categories.


Finally, you scored 41% on autoerotic - a scale that measures your ability and/or willingness to have kinky fun without a partner. It's not exactly a matching criterion, but it's good for you if your score is high. Keep it up!

Obama, The RIAA, and The Economy [Jan. 25th, 2009|12:01 pm]
[Current Mood | accomplished]

X-posted from my website, http://www.michichael.com

Ya know, it occurs to me that I haven't posted anything new on the main page in a while. That needs to change, so here I am! Now what to talk about... I'm sure everyone was overjoyed by the end of Bush's regime, and the fast acting of Obama to roll back and start running damage control. I approve wholeheartedly of this. Unfortunately, I'm seeing a lot of things that don't make me exactly comfortable, along with a few other things that people raised hell about that I don't get. First off, Rick Warren.

Ok, LGBT folks out there... I know this jackass is against treating you equally. But the inaugural address isn't about you. GET OVER IT. Obama puts a lot of value into his faith, and as such in swearing to uphold our Constitution on the Bible, it's a PERSONAL symbol of his commitment. It's not designed to offend your oversensitive asses. Use more lube if you're that easily butt hurt over it. I don't like Rick Warren, but the Inauguration is as much a ceremony and rite of passage for Obama as it is a symbol of hope for the rest of the world. Take it for what it's worth.

On the note of Obama, he's made some designations and appointments that I do NOT approve of. First off, hiring the RIAA's top lawyer to a top post? What the hell man? The denizens of the internet turned out in record breaking force to support you, and you gave lip service back, claiming copyright reform, patent reform, and an end to the stifling of American innovation by corporate greed. Mr. President, it may be too early to see the results of these appointments, but if this guy's path of corporate sympathy continues, I am very, very disappointed. I think the internet had something radically different in mind when they heard "copyright reform."

On the other side of things, the Republicans are raising hell about the stimulus plan. Same old god damned government as far as Congress is concerned. First off, this financial crisis, and I may not be a financial maverick, isn't going to get better by throwing money at the banks. Let's examine what happened the LAST time we tried that, eh? We bailed Bank of America out because it was taking huge losses from it's Countrywide division, and couldn't loan money. Instead of freeing up credit to the market again, BoA went out and bought Mirelle and Lynch. Oh look! Let's go out and buy MORE bad assets! RETARDS! Predictably, another bailout is needed. Also, the auto industry? Dude - SCREW THEM.

First off, the "Big Three" in Detroit made shitty cars at higher prices and lower fuel efficiency. The foreign imports are cheaper, higher quality, and have better mileage. Gee, I wonder why they're feeling the squeeze. It's not because of the credit crunch, It's because, audible gasp, they don't know how to make a good product. So now, instead of reforming their business plan, cutting costs, laying some folks off and getting leaner and more competitive, they simply lobbied for a bailout. Our tax dollars at work! Why compete when you only need to throw a few million at Congress?

Seriously, all this talk about "Too big to fail" is really getting old, really fast. I've noticed that the economy is a lot like a forest. Every so often, a forest fire (recession) crops up. Now, silly us, we go in and stop said fire from damaging anything we value too much. We're going against the natural order of things. This allows a lot of dead mass to build up - poorly led companies, bad loans, all that fun stuff is no different than dead branches, leaves, and compost. So instead of letting the fire burn away all the rubbish, which I agree would be devastating, a lot of people would be out of a job, and we'd be plunged into a hard depression, we are shoring things up and stopping the fire from burning away the junk.

Here's what should have happened, in my opinion. First off, if we let these folks fail, a lot of assets are going to hit the market DIRT CHEAP. In the case of the auto industry, machinists, factories, equipment, and all that fun stuff will be available at pennies on the dollar, enabling other start ups to spring to life. It'll take a few months, maybe two years at most, but the end result would be a far leaner, greener, and meaner manufacturing consortium that is more easily able to compete with the foreign imports. Next up, on the bank side of things, if we let them fail a number of assets would go to sale dirt cheap, driving the price of real estate into the ground. Bad thing, I know, but here's the important bit: Land is the one thing they're not making anything more of. It will ALWAYS go back up in value. Just a matter of time. So all of these assets go to market, competitors sprout up via the lovely American entrepreneurial way, and after 2 years we're healthier than we've ever been. Those two years would be difficult, but instead of throwing over a trillion dollars at big business, the government could have initiated "New Deal" type projects. Those machinists that got laid off? Hire a healthy company in the area on government contracts to manufacture new fleets of fuel efficient heavy trucks for national redistribution to the states. Administration and all the associated costs of such a project would put a lot of people back into a job during the depression.

Other unskilled labor can be put to work paving roads, expanding the national infrastructure of utilities, or otherwise revamping the 45+ year old, rotting infrastructure we currently have. Investments into nuclear, wind, water, and solar energy would create hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country. There's literally thousands of projects that lack funding that, once funded, would create jobs to counter the downward slide of the economy. When those projects are completed, years down the road, the economy would be in a better shape because those entrepreneurs were off getting businesses started and growing, and if you supplement small business grants with more money, one could successfully transition those public service workers back into non government sectors, and end up with a thriving economy. I'm not saying there would not be some hard times, but a short period of hard times is better than a prolonged downward spiral as we continue trying to shore up failed projects. Over a trillion dollars would do a lot more good going directly to the good of all people instead of the CEO's of big companies.

And "Too big to fail" needs to not happen again. Companies now see this and think 'hmm, as long as we get to THAT many employees, the government will never let us fail!' This is a horrible precedent. One can only hope that the country can pull out of the spiral we're in.

Merf. [Jan. 16th, 2009|04:16 pm]
[Current Mood | apathetic]

Righto. Not much to say on the home front that's meaningful to anyone... but I'll give those of you that are curious an update on everything going on here.

Taren ended up having a bit of drama after last weekend, resulting in him being pretty emotionally hurt for a little while. That made me realize just how much I cared about him - I realized that if he truly wanted me to be monogamous, and if I could keep him from being hurt like that again, I'd do it for him. He's worth it to me. At the time he expressed that if he did get back together with me, he'd be doing it for the wrong reasons - because he was hurting from what had transpired. I understood this, and didn't force the issue - I'm just there for him. Took him to dinner and we picked up some movies that night... and yeah. I felt like things might be getting better. Merf.

So yeah, as usual I was wrong. I've been being more affectionate with Taren and today he asked if he was leading me on. This was a bit out of the blue considering that he told me wasn't going to make a decision on Monday... but I told him no anyway. He then went on to comment on how I'd been more affectionate and he was worried that he was leading me on. I asked him if he was over me, which I've reasonably suspected but recent events have clouded... and he just offhand commented: "Isn't it obvious?"

Merf. So back to being depressed, though not nearly as depressed as when I was holding in my feelings etc... but... yeah. Folfy's hopes get up only to be crushed mercilessly. Meh. Whatever. If it's a done deal, it's a done deal - I've got regrets that I waited this long and it took him getting hurt to make me see this but if he doesn't want me, and there's no chance of that changing, I need to get over him and move on.  Hurts, but honestly the ball was in his court this time instead of mine. Instead of standing there trying to figure out what I should do, I gave him my answer and he made a decision, so I'm better now than I was, but the decision and rejection still hurts. At least I know where I stand now.

I hope he's happy with his new relationship, I truly do. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. I worked more on the comic detail stuff, now that I'm out of my bloody depression - which reminds me, I need to start site design before college picks up again.

So yeah. Um... yeah. Not much else to say. I'm hurting again, though not as bad as before. At least now I know I did everything I possibly could have. That gives me a little closure at least.

On to sunnier news: YR, henceforth known as Wyre or Wyrefox, is moving in this weekend. Cooked up a delicious pot roast with quartered potatoes, carrots, and served over rice, to welcome him. Was divine. 

College picks up on the 2nd. I dropped the Differential Equations course because I need to focus on this corporate project, and given my mental state, I doubt I could handle it right now.

Bleh. My emotional state is fucked to shit again. I'm gonna go build a corporate infrastructure or something. Seeing how I'm the only one on the project that didn't say "Let's bring in a consultant" in the first 30 seconds of the meeting. -.-

[Current Mood | crushed]

So Taren and his new lover apparently had a pretty good evening. They retired early. I've been trying desperately since 3:00 to find something to do or somewhere to be. I didn't want to be here for this. My instincts were right - just hurts all the more. I keep playing it back in my head where it fell apart according to Taren... and I just can't help but get a little defensive. He told me the other day that it fell apart when I said I'd prefer to be with a woman because she could always get a strapon. In my own defense... he gave me a no win situation: He asked if I had to be with one person for the rest of my life, would it be a guy or a girl.

Kinda hurts that he uses that theoretical argument as the point when things fell apart for him. I know I ignored him more than a little when I was in a female desire mode, but every time I went to try to nuzzle or pay attention to him he just shoved me away - why would I keep trying if he kept shoving me away or snapping at me...

I just... yeah. I need to get over it. I really do. I need to go out and hang out with friends and get over it. Whatever. I feel fucking worthless right now because after all his talk of it being difficult to be in love with somebody, he's already saying those three words to this person after one IRL meeting and online chat. Just.. yeah. whatever. 

Anyway, buncha scientists beat me to the punch on calculating out the absolute maximum temperature matter could exist at, the basis of my theories. So yeah - what's the point of wasting money on my differential equations, which I'll probably just fail anyway being ni this funk. Gonna drop it first think tomorrow morning and get some money back. Don't have time for that shit anyway.

So yeah. I feel pretty damned worthless. My ex has easily and neatly severed any feelings he had toward me. Wish I knew how to make it that easy. Yr's moving in next weekend, and yeah. I get to be on a project team to redo our corporate infrastructure and active directory layout. Yay.

My chest hurts. Bad. Pretty much everything I've been looking forward to these past years in life have fallen apart.

My groundbreaking theories I had back in 2005? Yeah. Kids with degrees came up with the same thing, so obviously they know what they're talking about - this kid with a community college degree doesn't.
Getting my own place? Yeah. Saw how well THAT turned out for me - $24,000 in debt and depressed enough that I'm popping left over vicoden to keep the chest pains in check.
Finally getting over my past and getting into a stable relationship? Yeah, pity that relationship was apparently set to difficulty 0 - anyone can do it. Certainly easy enough to find somebody different to fill in for me.

I honestly felt for a time that I had to have done something right to keep it going that long. Guess I haven't made a damned lick of progress on my emotional state or relationship skills since my last attempts.

I miss my master n mistress. I'm gonna curl up and try to remember how to cry so I can quit building this shit up in my chest.

Depression.. [Jan. 7th, 2009|12:35 am]
[Current Mood | blank]

X-Posted from my website, http://www.michichael.com

Whelp, that bout of being antidepressed didn't last very long. Back to being depressed - over what you might ask? Depressed and mildly ticked.... Read the disclaimer at the top of this page.

Right then.

What's got me so irritated and depressed actually consists of myriad factors, the trigger this time being Taren’s repeated insistence that I go do something else this weekend, as his new interest is also coming over this weekend, this really hits a raw nerve with me. It’s not fair to him because if I had somebody I wanted over I’d request some alone time too but I’m still mildly jealous and hurt. My feelings do not require logic, fuck you. Anyway, that, coupled with the fact that I’ve continuously harped on him to get his school shit done, including the financial aid, so he can start classes, and he just finally registered today, but has yet to get his financial aid and stuff filled out. It just feels… ugh, coupled with the stress from work that I’ve been going through, getting my shit done, etc… yeah feels like I shouldn’t have to remind him constantly to do this shit – he should be responsible and mature enough to do it himself. The trick being that he’s completely infatuated with this new guy, and everything else is second priority to spending time with said new fur.

I guess what my friend linked me is pretty accurate: “We stay in control, and keep the unpredictability and vulnerability of genuine intimacy at a safe distance.”

Anyway, yeah. Just edited out an entire rant I had a moment ago because I’m no longer as pissed off about that one part… and now have mixed feelings about what he just asked. Blarg. Well two things – firstly, he wants me out of the house, which I’ve already mentioned, because he wants to fool around with his new boy toy and paw off to porn via the PS3 (And I’ll admit, porn looks awesome on a 42” LCD). The second factor being that he just asked if he could bribe me, with money he has saved up, to go pick up said boy toy in the event that he, the boy toy, can’t use his mom’s car to get up here. Gah. Ok, so many things in that statement that create conflicted emotions, especially with Ariyu wanting to go complete bitch mode on Taren. First off let me point out that I’m fine doing so, but the method of which he asked is what sparked all of this.

God damnit being multiperceptive fucking sucks in situations like this, as I need to go through and try to ignore all of my emotions long enough to focus on each one individually, weigh the merit of each emotion, and finally decide on which one I want to feel. The end result often being I just lock down and go emotionless. Let’s see what emotions I feel here: Anger, Jealously, Sadness, Offense, and the ever prevalent “Hurt” – that’s a popular one.

So… to give everyone a bit more insight to what goes on my head every second of every goddamned day, because 99.9% of the time, Ariyu and I are of different mindsets (her usual reaction being anger and violence, mine being sarcasm and avoidance…), I’m going to detail out exactly how this process works for each emotion:

Anger – Ariyu’s reaction primarily, but I felt it too – for two reasons. Firstly, that he felt like he needed to bribe me to go get his new lover – we may no longer be mates, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t help him out as a friend, even if it hurts me emotionally. Further, the fact that he feels that giving m extra money (which will just be going towards back bills anyway) will make those feelings of being hurt go away or be soothed also pisses both of us off. Does he think we’re shallow or something? No, that’s probably not his intent. Either way, really bad way of popping that question.

Jealousy – My emotion mostly. Ariyu no longer gives a rats ass about him, in fact she wants nothing further to do with him intimately at all, namely because of the hurt I’m feeling as a result of our relationship’s termination. I’m jealous – not much to go into that, and hardly a reason to say no.

Sadness – I’m fairly sad and depressed that he thinks so little of me that he’d have to throw money at me right when he asked the question, as well as the fact that he bases giving me the money solely as “far more than the gas it’d cost” instead of, I don’t know, tossing it to me towards bills, rent, or any of the other expenses we incur. Maybe? Kinda? So yeah.

Offense – pretty self explanatory one here. Me and Ariyu are both offended by the fact that he assumes we’re so shallow. Moving right along…

Hurt – once again, pretty self explanatory. It hurts seeing him happy with somebody else. I really need to move on. Somehow. We just wish we knew how… Well I wish I knew how. Ariyu of course keeps suggesting that we just cut him off completely, but that’s her way of doing things. He’s my friend damnit, I’m not going to abandon our friendship because I’m hurt that we’re no longer mates.

So, once I processed each of these individually, of course, the time for said reaction was already passed and since there’s nothing material to be angry at, that emotion fizzled, the offense emotion never lasts much past the processing phase, and the jealousy emotion is being mercilessly crushed by sadness and hurt. Joy. So that’s where we’re at right now.

*sighs and curls up* Off to more pleasant news. We’ve got yrfoxtaur moving in as well in the next few weeks , and he’s already got his classes and stuff settled so everything should be golden as far as that goes – once he’s established a new job out here I’ll probably be less stressed about monies.

Um… what else. Oh yeah – the cats vet visit went well enough, I guess. Pixie’s got a heart murmur which isn’t cause for concern, however she’s got a very strange, brittle, black growth that covers her claws like an extension of her sheath – it appears to be growing OUT of the claw sheath and appears painful to her when it’s broken off. The vet had no bloody idea what it was, but she seems healthier than she has been in the past, and the goddamned idiots from High Desert Animal Clinic didn’t bother faxing the items til today. Gee, thanks assholes I asked for it to be faxed by last Saturday for a REASON.

Anyway, I’m stuck being depressed and it’s after midnight. Gonna spellcheck, post, and go to bed.

The LHC and your Damned Doomsday [Sep. 9th, 2008|01:03 pm]
[Current Mood | annoyed]

Ok. I'm getting so very sick and tired of hearing the doomsayers and fear mongering going on on the internet about the LHC and what's supposedly going to happen. So! I'm going to go ahead and post my understand and MY theories and beliefs, as well as what I think is going to happen. Please note, some of this is theory, some of this is belief, but only until I can get enough evidence and experience to declare it theory.

Now I will point out that my Physics education is currently up to wavelengths and particle physics - I have not had any education in astrophysics, nuclear physics, or advanced physics theory. I will be transferring to CSU - Northridge into their physics program if I can afford it, but considering that I'm working full time it'll take me a while to get there. I'd honestly prefer to go to UCLA or MIT, but I can't afford it. I've studied these and am working on the math behind them, but it's slow going since I don't have the resources to proof and confer with like minded individuals. So here we go!

First, let's lay the facts out:

Click. )

I hope nobody minds my ramblings. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough to make a true study and eventually get my doctorates in the field of physics, so I may study my beliefs and theories further. Odds are I'm just going to be stuck using community college and going to USC instead of one of the better schools though. Can't afford the big schools, and my parents make too much for me to qualify for financial aid as far as I know. v.v

Nother update! [Jul. 9th, 2008|05:44 pm]
Well I'm just a blog o holic with these constant updates, aren't I? Anyway lets see here. Woke up with a painful spot under my left jaw... felt like a sore muscle but as the day went on it became apparent it's a little lymph node or something. I have one on the other side that doesn't hurt so I'm not worried about it. However the lumps under my left tit are worrying me because of how quickly and painfully they've appeared. The doctor is unresponsive to my inquiries about what the fuck it is, which is pissing me off. I'm begining to think because my coverage runs out in August they're going to keep putting it off until it runs out and I have to renew at a higher cost because I have a documented illness. If that's the case I really don't think that's legal. I can't swap to my company's health insurance until January, either.

Um.. Life is kinda OK right now. Stressing about money and income of course. Taren's trying to get a job in sales as he has lots of experience in that area which is awesome. If he does get a good position we'll be golden. I'm considering filling that empty room in our apartment though. speaking of our apartment really needs to get cleaned up and finished unpacking >.<!

I think I'm going to work on my book some more soon! What does everyone think - shall I post entire chapters, or maybe snippets, or just wait until I have the entire thing finished before publishing or posting it?

Your feedback is valued!

My master n mistress should be coming down to visit sometime soon. I can't wait to see them! Anyway, That's all for now! Michi out.

So! Today at work was somewhat OK. I've been incredibly busy at work with a number of things, including a massive IT report. One of the higher ups from Corporate really liked it so I feel good about that! The CIO of the company also has me coordinating a massive project across all of the companies and I think it's coming along great. I've only hit one or two snags of communication breakdown, but otherwise things are going great. I just completed research and budgeting for a POE Camera system, specifically the IT Portion which will require a significant infrastructure overhaul, but that will only run us a total of roughly 12 grand, and save the company over 100 grand a year. Good ROI!

In personal news, I have three painful, large lumps under my left nipple that the doctors have shown some concern about. I'm going down to Panorama City tomorrow to get it checked out. Should be fine, I'm not too worried about it. My drawing came out great and I'm working on a good coloring scheme for it, something that I like. Still looking at options for that. I came out to my boss at work, and he was fairly cool about it. Didn't seem to affect our professional or personal friendships, so that's good. I also wrote more of my book, and Taren is currently working on his too, though at the moment he's reading over my shoulder and being a lovey pest.

We got our rebate card from AT&T which will help with bills of course. I think we're going to have to fill that vacant room in our apartment, because right now we're just barely staying afloat here. I'm picking up odd jobs to support the place and Taren's working hard at getting another job. My Master n Mistress swung by a few weeks ago which was completely awesome. They should also be coming by within the next week or so again, and I'm excited about that.

Apparently I'm a pretty good cook! My Moroccan Pot Roast had no left overs when I cooked it for us and Taren's friends from Texas.

So yeah! Not alot to complain about right now. Taren's worried about the lumps but he's the only one that is. Work is looking great. I might be getting more corporate assignments which makes me very happy. And if you're reading this from the homepage, cool! I'll be doing more redesigns to http://www.michichael.com and maybe putting this feed in a personal section and using the main page for IT related stuff. Anyway, Michi out!

I'm still alive folks! I know I haven't been posting here often but I'm going to start. I made some major tweaks to my website, http://www.michichael.com which is where this blog can now also be read from! Anyway, let's see what I've got to update for everyone.

I moved. I'm in Valencia, CA now! Right in Valencia Town Center and minutes from work, play, food, shopping, everything! It's not half bad at all. Taren's my room-mate and we actually have a little den area that we told my boss Taren was staying in... My boss doesn't know that I'm bi and I don't know if I want to reveal it to him. I was sick again this past week, the flu but my tonsils really over-reacted. I may have to get them out.

I'm still with the same company and it's going pretty well. Unsurprisingly we got hit by a worm that targeted our Symantec installations. Luckily only one box was vulnerable across our entire network. Unluckily it was our file server. Took me a while to get that back up because the payload was a trojan horse that overwrote the registry. Was there till 1:30 in the morning getting everything online and operational. I think our controller finally realized I'm not making shit up when I tell them there is a vulnerability in having NO FIREWALL between ourselves and the MPLS line. We're going to be addressing that issue rather quickly now.

Hmm what else... I've been playing WoW since I've got nothing better to do, and also worked on my story a little bit. Working on the third chapter shortly, and debating posting the second for people to read. I've gotten a surprising amount of good feedback on the first chapter so I might post it and see if people like the direction I'm taking it. I'd really like to portray the story in both book form and webcomic form. I'm gonna have to start drawing again.

Um... what else. I've been working on the website of course. Life's been decent. Taren and I are still getting along very well and are very supportive of each other. Haven't seen my master n mistress since I last went to Rancho... I miss them...

Pixie is loving the apartment. I hardly have any problems with her - she uses the kitty scratcher, doesn't crap or pee all over the place, and hasn't given me any of the trouble my mom said she was having with her.

It is REALLY nice to have my own place. I feel like I'm getting somewhere with my life. I'm eating well, getting ready to cook sirloin tips w/onions and buttered noodles tonight! Made stew the other day.... all in all life isn't that bad. Money's tight but I should be fine. Taren's bringing in enough to make ends meet as long as we don't keep moving the ends.  Soon I'll actually have enough saved to get a real bed. That'll be a treat.

Also I've broken my Pepsi addiction. I'm drinknig alot more water than I used to, and while I still drink Pepsi it's not nearly as much as before. Anyway, I'll try to post more often if I think of anything guys! Much love to everyone of my friends and everyone that's been asking after me.

Long time no post! ... Again.

Whelp, lets see here. What's happened since I last posted...

- I started a story. It will be one of many set in a fantasy world I am creating. It should be interesting! You can see a sample here: http://www.michichael.com/stories/Realms-Teaser.doc

Anyway.. uh.. lets see. Also, I got another job offer earning 50k/yr, but if and only if I'd quit my current job. So I did, then they rescinded their offer a day later because I came down with mono bad enough that I had to be hospitalized. Luckily, my old job begged me back and I left on good terms. But totally dirty of those assholes. But! My old job hired me back with a 5/hr raise. =)

And Taren is rapidly becoming close to my heart, he's almost as dear to me as my master n mistress. I find it funny it takes me 9+ months to start to trust somebody... But he's truly genuine. I was sick enough that if I hadn't gone to the hospital I would have died, according to the doctor. My lymph nodes would have burst. Taren is the only reason that I actually stayed in the hospital for the treatment. He literally bit me when I said "it's not worth it" to the treatment. Specially since I had just lost my new job because I was in the hospital in the first place.

He cares. And I genuinely trust him because of it. Also, he understands that I'm bi, and is fine with being in a polyamorous relationship. I love him and my master and my mistress equally, even if I can't spend time equally because of distances. He also encourages me to find a female relationship. I don't know how I'd feel about a female partner. I have alot of emotional baggage in that department, not to mention latent fears and hesitancies.

Anyway... uh.. I'm playing WoW and reading the Wheel of Time series. I'm probably gonna move to Valencia within two months.

My court date is the 5th for suing the bastard that hit my car. =)

That's about it for now! TTYL!

Yay! Update! [Jan. 11th, 2008|10:22 am]

So! Long time no post. Lessee where to begin. Firstly, the New Years Holiday marked my first official day as a full time employee! Yay! I'm no longer contracted out! Now for the fun part. It would appear that the contractor was seriously gouging the company. Kinda sucks 'cause I could have gotten a lot more than I asked. They popped the question on me out of the blue and it was like "Uh, um... 42,500/yr?" And the controller just grinned and said deal.

No use worrying about the "coulda woulda shoulda"'s though. Even if I am not earning all I want to right now, it's pretty damned good for being 21 and no "official" certifications or education in computers. Hell, my Associates is in Mathematics, and I'm still two courses from that.

Which brings up an interesting thought: Interesting Thoughts... )

Fucking moron... Anyway looks like I'm ranting. I have a lot to do when I get home tonight. Gotta clean the entire house up for my Mom's homecoming. Oh! And also, I'm going to be moving out between 4/08 and 6/08 to the Valencia or Santa Clarita areas... if anyone wants to discuss apartments or room-mate situations, feel free to drop me a line! I'd like to get to know people so I can find a trustworthy roomie.

See ya everyone, got more crap to fix at work. =)
