4th of July Festivities
So like any evening, it started out with a trip to Diedrichs, which is on the way anywhere anyway. During the short time I was there Suzanne showed up.. which was crazy cause thats where her "Evil Ex" Chris hangs out.. so I don't by any means claim to have had any part in their reconciliation, but I was there when it happened. (= And on that subject she has recently recanted her earlier proclaimation that I am the devil incarnate so.. yea.
Anyway Diedrichs closed at 6:30 on account of the 4th. Psha on that. But I had to mosey on to go pick up Ashlee and Aimee anyway, so I went off and did that, and then met up with the Diedrichs crew again at a place of Katie D'agistino's in Santa Ana or Anaheim. This place was like... amazing. It was one of them tall narrow places that was hella modern-artsy on the third or fourth floor where it got wider, and an art gallery on the bottem floor... yea. It was the for awesome. And I discovered we had roof access, which led to many of us accessing the roof, and widespread exploring of the rooftops.
Anyway it was quite the nice little party. But then there was this guy Brandon who I swear is like poser-gay. Like.. gay because he can't get girls so he pretends he doesn't want to. Like.. I got that vibe already but then when he was drunk he could not keep his hands off Aimee or Ashlee. Anyway, he got the drunken idea to throw shiznaz off the roof and kick piping up there and stuff.. and I have no sympathy for him cause (A) that was dumb and immature, and (B) it's Katie's house, ass. So yea the Cracked Out Security Guard apparently somehow managed to figure this out, between being cracked out and well, being cracked out. He was like sweating like no other and stammering and barely coherent... someone said he was prolyl actually on heroin? I don't know but he was for certainly on something. So security-miser gets all up on us and we determine it was definitely Brandon who was the ass and needs to step up and take the blame. And then.. then when asked if anyone else was doing it Brandon said Aimee was (I'm pretty sure that while she WAS up there with him, she wasn't actually throwing shiznaz).. because you KNOW that when you're about to get in trouble with The Man for something you should always try to pull someone else down with you just for company right? Oh wait, NO. That would be reason (C) I have no sympathy for him.
Anyway, with all this going down most of us decided it was time to split.. so I drove Ashlee and Aimee home.. The End.
I found out the guy with the Flogging Molly and Steel Reserve shirts is named "Matt." He is for awesome. Matt: "Hey Kris whats your favorite malt liquor?" me: "Steel Reserve, no question." Matt: "Duuude this guy is soo in our Steel Reserve Crew!"
BASICALLY, I NEED A NEW JOB, BASICALLY
So I had work today. I worked for an hour and then was informed that I am not actually LIFEGUARD CERTIFIED so I couldn't work.. they can't recertify me in that until next saturday morning. (I'm certified in CPR and Defibrillating and other shiznaz like that howeveR). Anyway, the joke's on them, cause I haven't been lifeguard certified for THREE YEARS! Fockers. Yea, basically I'm a bad person its true.
And I also learned today that I once again didn't pass the Department of State Foreign Service Exam. Aannnd I am currently not enrolled in any classes at UC Davis for the fall. I think I'll look into getting in the illegal arms trafficking business. I hear its lucrative.
But seriously if anyone knows of anywere that is hiring I need a job.... at a coffeeshop, or lifeguarding, or uhhh as a cook...
Various Things
Jun. 5th, 2003 10:12 am Blah. Several random things from Wednesday:
In English today we "workshopped" the teacher's story. With all do respect I think she was going for that "shock writing" that repressed people like to experiment with in HS... you know where they write shockingly vulger or profane things and people don't want to look liek they are prudes so they say its good writing? Yea, man, the story was just about 13 year old lesbians. And aside from the fact that they talked about and did some shocking things and it was discussed it disturbing detail, I just don't see a story there.
We met in the usual room but then went outside to discuss it in the grass. What I thought was really cool was that the only two guys in the class who I think are decent writers, whom I usually sit across the room from just because, waited for me outside and the three of us walked over there and sat together -- and we are three TOTALLY different people, so I feel like we're just united by the lameness of everyone in the class. So yea, I felt elite that we united like that - I'm part of the triumverate.
I got my favorite tie back from Aimee today via the postal service. No not the snail tie, this one is narrow and black, it appears to have been made out of a dickies pant leg or something, serious. I found it in the back of The Brick, my eurovan krismobile, after drivign all my friends to a show in San Diego the night before, one day last summer. Admittedly I feel slightly sad to get it back... she's giving it back, what does that mean? At least she still has my belt too. (=
When I called her to thank her for it yesterday her mom said "Aimee is a good christian girl now, she's at church," in a voice like I was a bad man for not being at church myself at that very moment (7pm, Wednesday??). Of course I was like "nooooooooooooo what has happened to aiimeeee???" She called me later though and clarified that she only went to make her mom happy and she's still the good little agnostic girl we all know and love.
And speaking of such, I was in Woodstocks Pizza, having just finished a pint of guinness, wearing the aforementioned black tie, and my Pedro the Lion shirt, when this girl is like "are you christian?" and I'm like "uhhhh I'm agnostic" and she's like "well thats a christian shirt" and I'm like "uh, the singer guy is religious but that barely affects the music" and she's like "barely!?" all incrediously. ::sigh:: its true, The Pedro guy is all crazy jesus-freak style, and that breaks my heart, but I've only seen overt religious messeges in one of their songs. grrawr damn prods. xagnosticxcorex <3

Remember when I declared myself straight edge? Hm this entry also includes another MUN conference, and a significant historic reference to Kristy, current star of many livejournal entries. (=

Monday Again?
Jan. 27th, 2003 11:53 pmSo today in my Community and Regional Developement section (CRD1-"The Community") we discussed how completely and utterly pointless the class is before the TA arrived. After discussing and clarifying the irrelevent differences between different definitions of "community" (which is basically all we've done for the last three weeks!), the TA made us get in groups of four and discuss communities we're part of. I know MY group for one did no such thing. Then she wanted people to spout out examples of communities.. normally I'm all against that whole "class participation" thing, but I dunno everyone elses answers were dumb ("my frat," "my football team"), and I'd just been flyering for tomorrow's show for the last few hours, so I was like "the local underground music kids" and related it totally to everything that had been said about what makes a community. And then this guy in the class who has a band and has been trying to get me to book them talked to me after class and I told him about some potential gigs and.. it just fit into what I had just said about the "underground music community" helping eachother out and stuff so well that it made me SICK. It was like it was scripted from some bad Disneychannel show that didn't have enough tact to gracefully hint at things and has to make everything blaring obvious and spelled out.
Listening to their CD now actually, that guys band, Modus, and they're actually Pretty Decent. I am definitely going to have to find them a show.
As I promised yesterday:
Alright. So this is the question I know all y'all are wondering. There's just like.. too many Aim-E-s, and unlike the various Jessicas, they don't all spell it in different ways.
AMIE GUTIERREZ: My friend Nick and I issued a few of them codenames, because codenames are cool. So Amie, this is prolly news to you, but you are Codename: Sharpie. Also if we're talking about booking bands, vacaville, or not being over ones ex and being in denial over it, this is the Amie we're talking about. On my cell phone everyone has been reduced to four digits to simplify all these things. This Amie has the privilage of being AMIE.
AMY ZIMMERMAN: So far she's the only one that spells it with a Y, so usually she is "Amy with a Y" in conversation. If we're talking about people with twin sisters, people who realized they weren't over their exes, or whose sweatshirt I'm usually wearing, this is her. Codename: Ninja. Her four digits are AMYZ.
AMIE JOE: If we're talking about people with private jets, people who are raging republicans, people who I sense will one day date noted liberal James Schwab, or people think I "talk mad shit", then this is probably the Amie under discussion. If we are talking about girls named Amie spelt with an I E whose middle initial is J and who are in my Econ class... well then it could be either this one or Gutierrez. This is also AMIJ.
AIMEE: If we're talking about people who live in the middle of nowhere, or people who have my tie, then we're talking about this Aimee. In four digits: AIME.
Alright, thats it for this week's installment of Kris' Guide To "Ay-me"s. Next feature: Random People. You know you're curious.
