apartment

so, about a week or two ago, my parents proposed to me them finding a condo, and buying it, and having all of us rent it from them. so we were all over that, because wed end up in a better neighborhood, lower rent, all that great jazz. so, they were looking around, and most places were either 2 BD, or 3 BD with problems, like limited parking, rotted out floorboards, etc. so, poo on that.

so i went looking, online, found this place rent.com, requested info about availability on some apartments, not even 10 minutes after i fill the form out, i get a call from a lady at chatham hills, and they have a 3 BD available, and i set up an appointment to go see it. the complex looks pretty nice, has a pool, fitness center, fun stuff like that. whole place feels just like chatham. you know, with kids getting arrested for drugs and fighting, and the administration are douchebags. aw hells yea.
so for a little bit, it was a tentative "no"... till guys mom went crazy and started yelling at him and hope and guy's GRANDMA about absolutely nothing. so i called hope (saving her from mary ann's wrath) and shes like "i think were gonna need to take that chatham hills place"

at first, i was a little worried about our financial situation, because wed have the rent, and we may still have to buy some furniture, but i just got 500$ of my parents tax return
because i had given them my tuition info to get them a bigger refund (since i couldnt because im still a dependent). so that will help out greatly.
plus ill be getting a second job, which should also help. probably meijer.

UGUGUGUGUGG

so, im getting a duplex with my friends hope and guy, in about a week. Ive already signed and ive been filling out the rest of my paperwork today.. i told my parents at dinner about it, though i didnt tell them the whole truth. i made it sound like things werent set in stone so much, and that id be moving "beginning of may" when its may 1 or 2 that ill start moving in. they also dont know that guy and hope already live together. They also think that rachel will be moving in too, when shes not since it will only be a 2 BD.

and my mom says she doesnt like the neighborhood the duplexes are in, and she wants to try to help me find an alternative, for me and rachel. so ARGGH.

i know this is my fault, for springing this on them, but to be honest, this was sort of sprung on me as well. itll still be pretty cool if i end up doing it.

eye heart 420chan

so, a few weeks ago, garrett mentioned to me 420chan. id been getting sick of 4chans faggotry, even on /x/ .. i had found some solace in /r9k/ but only because originality is strictly enforced.

anyway, 420chan blows 4chan out of the water, mostly because it has a philosophy board, so i can talk with other intelligent stoners about the important stuff of life, like if a boat is still the same boat if you replace all of its parts over time. its /b/ is also a bit more sophisticated too, with still being mostly pronz, niggers, and other disgusting things.

but really, its all about the /ph/

i guess ill post what i said about cloverfield on /x/

so, i finally saw this freakin movie. i didnt wanna waste my money in theaters /couldnt get anyone to go with me, and so i downloaded it (shitty quality, man walking in front of the camera halfway through, oh yeah, thats the stuff)

and i must say, i can agree with what people say about the "camera work" and it coulda been less lame if it had been a little more about the monster and wtf is with those little things.

but what does the word "cloverfield" have to do with anything..? obviously its the monster, but why is i called that, any idea?

anyway, if you understand what they were trying to do with it, its a pretty decent movie (though definitely overhyped)

-----
anyway, i suppose i liked it. it definitely follows the rule of "if you get split up, someone will die in the next couple minutes." i love predictability. seriously helicopters. and when they were going down the stairs with the camera light on, total "28 weeks later" flashback. only the camera persons not an idiot in this case ("im keeping the light on you guys, so i can see you, just keep walking forward.. walking forward..." "AHHH OH GOD I STEPPED IN SOMETHING" *rage*)

i think ill end up renting it though. i cant stand this i-cant-quite-see-whats-going-on-because-jpeg-artifacts-make-it-look-shitty. i like to see my movies.

numbers

everyone has them. certain numbers they see everywhere, or consider lucky..
my personal lucky numbers are: 6, 63, 16, and 13 (in that order, lol)

significant/frequently seen times:
11:11 is a popular one, ive been told to wish on that.
12:31 is my birthday, i see that alot
12:34 a counterpart to the previous one

1:11 a new one for me actually, i just started seeing this more.
i also counted what day the 111th is this year (special because its a leap year) and lo and behold.. 4/20

OMG! NUMBERS
QUICK ADD EM ALL UP AND SEE WHAT THEY ADD UP TO! AND IF THEY DONT, THEN YOU GOTTA MULTIPLY THEM BY 3 OR SOMETHING.

... mm but im not crazy like that.
but the times are a little wierd. my whole life, ive seen 12:31/12:34 (the latter, is sort of a lucky time.. i suppose. but i see them nearly every day. mostly at night. but its strange you know, because ill just think "hmm what time is it?" and BAM 12:3x. sure i check the time throughout the day, but this is so consistent. and often, if i see 12:31, i dont look back until EXACTLY 12:34 .. ooooooh creepy.

----
you will not believe this..
i downloaded cloverfied and watched it.. i had gone back and was reading the opening, because i was posting something about it...
and i just looked over. it was stopped at 1:11
not only that. the timer at the bottom says 4:20:19
OMGLOL JUST AS IM WRITING ABOUT THIS CRAP. GOD IM GONNA DIE>

the internet is loud.

the last 4 or 5 generations of people have been raised by screens. We are all encultured to take what we see on TV as reality (excluding explicitly fictional content). We are strongly shaped by the messages we receive from these light-up boxes. It puts our children (and parents!) into a trance, and tells them what choices to make, how to view the world.

and such a thing as the internet emerged. a network to share information. at first it was slow, but as the technology was refined and more people logged on, things gradually improved. The internet grows by becoming more efficient, more streamlined. it evolves.

and it gives everyone a voice. not only can you passively sit back and experience the internet, you can make it happen. create a website or a blog. take photographs and show them to the world. find a mate. become someone else.
you see someone wouldnt walk into a room in real life and announce: "im female and fourteen years old, does anyone want to have sex with me?"

but you would online.
such is the freedom of anonymity.
everyone has a voice.

and the noise is so loud.
