"No Trucks"

Well, it looks as though I've finally decided on a housing option for next year... I'm applying for my own place next year. Just me. Sad. It'll be fine. It really has to be this way, because I don't want my friends (whom I hope to live with next year) to back out and leave me hanging. Lilly is applying to be an RA (and will most certainly get it) and considering she's really the only person I know who I would ever move in with next year, I really shouldn't rely on moving in with her as the first option. But you know, it'll be nice: my own little pad. I'm hoping to get a place through University Apartments that is just a room with a kitchen. I just want to be able to cook.... oh I'm most certainly setting my expectations for myself much higher than I should be. I'll probably end up starving to death. But hey, it'll give people more ideas for Christmas/Birthday gifts: cookbooks, uh... pots I guess. Mmm...yeah. Spatula?

I just came back from Westwood, and I was walking along strathmore.... and saw the following:



Pretty ridiculous, huh? I especially like the signs that state "NO TRUCKS." Maybe someone at the time had been covering up the "NO" as a practical joke. Haha. Must make note of that for future shananigan (I can't believe Dianne could spell that word. That is amazing. My guess would have be "shenadigan" or "shinadegin." Wow. I am impressed with her... and embarassed with myself.

Here are some more pics:






The LAFD had tried to pull the truck all of the way through, but that didn't work when the truck wouldn't pass (and probably got stuck more), so they then tried to pull it out in reverse. It was interesting to watch. Haha. Hope the guy driving it choose to pay the extra $50 for the insurance. That's pretty funny. As long as no onw gets hurt, it's funny. Even when someone does get hurt, it's still funny, but only looking back on it when knowing that they're going to be ok.

It's so damn cold here. Jesus H. Christ. Where am I? Fucking Ohio or something? Nova Scotia? Shit man, that's behind me. Give me San Diego weather over it anytime, especially when I don't dress warmly enough (this is the first year at UCLA that I've been wearing pants. Last year, only mini-skirts). I like the cold, but when I'm in it, I'm wearing all of my snow gear. Hear, I can only do so much.

Yesterday night while on shift, Chris, Eric, Hector and I went to Starbucks and we saw the LAPD arresting this one transient who always hangs out there. So we're walking by and this guy, a real jerk, is taking pictures of him being cuffed. You know, you'd think people would have more respect. It's not like the transient was this famous criminal -- it doesn't need to be documented by your stupid cameraphone. I've walked by that guy a lot. He doesn't do anything. Just sits there, asks for some change sometimes. My only qualm is that he takes that bench all to himself. I could see it being a pleasant place to sit. Even then, that's not a really qualm. (Ok... no tangents here. Focus.) So Eric tells the jerk to put away him camera and says that what he's doing isn't cool... and the fucker gives him a hard time... you know, the olde "what are you going to do? I can do what I want? You can't touch me" routine. I hate people like that. I try and convince myself that they aren't going to succeed in life, at least in the long term. They can make all of this money, but at some point that attitude and rudeness will just catch up with you. *shrug* I don't know. Hopefully they'll go to Hell. At least for a second. Do some time.

Dude. I can't wait for the time when someone gives me a hard time. I will kick their ass. I'm really just waiting for it. haha. Wouldn't that be a funny scene? Wow. I would have to be so stupid. He'll have to be smaller than me, and younger than me. I have balls, but shit, they ain't THAT huge. I just like suprising people when they see that I don't take any shit or bull-shit lies told to me. Good times.

Had pancakes this morning. Strawberry/Blueberry. De-Li-Cious.
