Michael Jackson at the Golf Course for the Elderly.

I was playing Michael Jackson's music at the "Chico Creek Community Center" this morning for my band class. Among "I want you back" the National Anthem was played. The community center was basically a senior citizens gold course today, (I mean people generally have jobs on a Friday afternoon) and post the music, we ended up being served old pizza ordered from the day before! Awesome-sauce. It went through me pretty nastily as an old pizza likely would.

On a more positive not, our group received 500$ to play the small collection of songs, which is quite the plus. Then afterwards, a girl came up to me and asked if I was British, as I usually am (I'm always asked if I'm British or English ARG) then she hugged me, said I was amazing then hugged me again. It was an awkward moment for the books, but she's nice I suppose.

Tomorrow afternoon I get to play Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at the downtown Chico plaza with Michael Jackson dance group We'll see how that one goes...

A glorious night

It's about 11:29 my time here this pretty evening. I was outside going to get the mail as I usually do, when I noticed just how lit everything was (the sky) due to the moon's glorious shine. The night sky was streaked blue; Something I haven't seen for a long time.

I've been put in a good mood you know, which I'm happy for, as it doesn't happen often. The stars, as well as the shine of the moon itself, trances me per se, as I am reminded just how much of a night owl I truly am. Everything about the night is beautiful, the feel, the quiet, it's all there to give me a sense of peace, to me.

Some things, like my mamsies job is quite saddening, but through these glimpses of just how beautiful the world itself is, makes me desire to find that same beauty within the people that inhabit the world itself.

"This Ugly Yet Beautiful World", right?

P.E.

I've been stuck playing "golf" at P.E. lately and things have been getting ridiculous considering all of the avid Happy Gilmore impersonators. After my P.E. class I headed for band only to go back OUTSIDE (it's fricking hot today in the sun) to perform marching formations for another hour; I swear that I was beginning to lose my mind in that 90 degree heat today.

Let's just say that I'm very glad that my favorite of all seasons is now upon us. Woo.. Autumn. I love everything about the season, especially the rain, and the comfortable temperatures, Halloween and Thanksgiving and such holidays as well as my birthday. I'm hoping to get more rain personally, just for the cooler temperatures as well as, well, you know... RAIN. Anyhoo I've got to go check the mail and see if the package I ordered is here yet and then get ready for work.

....Yay-sauce

Oh P.S. I managed to finally get under 3 minutes for my half-mile run today 2:55 was my time. Yay me.

Mehhhhh I did NOTHING today.

Okay to point out the obvious, I did nothing at all today, I see no need to capitalize nothing a second time because I figure that you get the point by now. I've been going to a P.E. class every day of the regular week these days to accumulate my absent P.E. credits, and I've been meeting some "interesting" people let's say.

A fellow student offered me a bite of her sandwich and I politely declined, I mean, c'mon, I've already had like 4 peanut butter and jellies this week already (I prefer a little blue cheese dressing on my sandwiches anyway don't judge me). Talking about the poor souls with beyond ridiculous names i.e. Nardo Getichu, Kate! (Yes, the exclamation mark is on the birth certificate) and something pertaining to dreams involving singing jawbreakers, yes you read that right. If that made no sense to you then you get my point.

I'm sitting here procrastinating doing homework while also being too lazy to close my bedroom window despite the people smoking outside are right there below me, smoke flooding the room. Whateversauce, I enjoy the smell. Again... MEH; I've done nothing today, I haven't even watched any anime or anything which is what I always do when I'm in a "down in the dumps" sad kind of mood too.

....Gerflargle, it stands alone as a noun, and also a swear, trust me, I've heard it being used in context.

Time to eat the controversial tomato I suppose...

Steam Hijack

I just got back from work (about an hour ago actually I've been working on account information, my next subject).

I was playing a game linked to my Steam account and after quitting, I had a notification on my windows screen, saying that my account was currently logged in elsewhere and I needed to re-enter my account information to log back in.

Well, considering my title, I'm sure you can imagine what popped up once I did this. It didn't work. Thankfully Steam has a support center just for this sort of thing with different login information just in case you've been hacked. While I was in my hotmail account I noticed that there were already opened emails of email that I never opened myself... and by this point I've already gone... well crap.

Anyhoo the opened emails were Steam notifications detailing that the requested password and username changes that "I" requested were successful... again... well crap. By this point Ive been completely locked out of my account and some other hacker is enjoying my precious computer games "shakes fist" and I'm spending hour after hour trying to figure out how to login to Steam support to fix things, if even possible.

Well as it turns out, there is an entire section of information detailing how to reclaim "hijacked Steam accounts". I emailed Steam support as it is so conveniently called and practically flipped a biscuit. In email form, mind you.

Thankfully, however, I received an email in my gmail account thanks to the dude/ette that replied to my email promptly. They explained that there was "evidence that I 'may' have been hacked." and they completely shut down the account. They even so generously detailed how to re-open the thing with new login information! How nice of them.

Fortunately, everything was a success and was fixed without a hitch, because I have no desire to flip yet another biscuit, this is a good thing. Apparently the douche that hacked me got my Steam info because it was the same douche that had hacked my hotmail account not that long ago, and by default there's a setting that auto copies/ saves/ stores ALL sent emails on the account, which just so happened to contain Steam login information WEE thanks HotMail! My steam name was changed to GiftFreeGames! and the avatar was removed by said douche, but other than that everything is good it seems.

Thanks to the minor tidbit biscuit-flipping scenario, I've borked my HotMail account and have fully adopted gMail. Becuase it is exudes awesomesauce.

Incredibly large chunks worth even.

September 11th.

I just realized that I came to less than 20 minutes before having forgot the 9/11 anniversary.

Let's just say I'm glad that I didn't technically forget, in the end. :)

House, and a senseless second, third, and infinitely frsutrating 17th thought.

It's approximately 11:27 P.M. my time right about now, (the time I'm beginning to write) and I figured that it was only fair to come out with some honesty. I sit here and find myself really procrastinating writing on this blog, as if it were a chore, though I, for the life of me, can't figure out why. Hilariously I was watching the television drama House, as I'm sure you're aware of, considering it's awesomeness and found myself desiring to write something; Anything. So here I sit, writing aimlessly thinking that perhaps I can write something completely random and wonder if someone may find it poetic, as if it sounds like it had a point. Laughing now, I sat on this sentence for a good 30 seconds pondering what to write, and I enjoy it, oddly enough.

You know, I've been busy with quite a bit as of late, and have always thought of a way to find an excuse to just take a break from things, like dropping out of the band class I've begun to attend for the sake of extra credits. Why not quit my job? Well, I realize after every afternoon during my getting on my work uniform and on my way to the restaurant, I'm fighting it, I'm frustrated that I have no desire to go, then I actually make it there, and realize that things just aren't that bad, and that quitting now would be a large mistake on my part; I mean seriously, whom in California would QUIT the job they have at this point in the game?

I again realize just how fortunate of a situation I've managed to get myself into, frick, it took me about four months of checking on my application in order to get hired, it would in essence and principal be wrong to give up now, just over a brief lack of motivation. Ha, I've learned quite a bit about myself over my short life so far, and lethargy, I suppose, is just another tidbit of self-discovery I can add to my list when I one day tell my story.

Again, just to emphasize, I really DO enjoy House, it's one of my favorite shows on T.V.
