I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. Care if I'm old. I don't mind. I don't mind. I don't mind. I don't mind. Mind, don't have a mind. Get away. Get away. Get away. Get away. Away, away from your home. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. I'm afraid. Afraid, afraid of a ghost. Even if you have. Even if you need. I don't mean to stare. We don't have to breed. We can plant a house. We can build a tree. I don't even care. We could all three. She said. She said. She said. She said.
Most of the moving has gone pretty smoothly, I have an apartment, all my stuff's out here and unbroken, I've already got some furniture, the rest should be in the next week. I've been skydiving at Lake Elsinore for a couple weekends now, I've officially gotten into USC, and I'm pretty sure I've been going to the right company for work everyday. I seem to be getting paid, and I think that's a pretty good sign.

The only thing that's been a series of hoops has been phone comapanies. Stopping service at the old one and getting service at new one. I decided to cancel my service in Champaign and take the $160 hit in lieu of paying for the last 3 months of my contract (which would cost around $210) The only problem is, I got charged for the month of June even though they confirmed themselves that my service was canceled on the 24th of May. I was made to discuss this hiccup for half an hour with a woman who's mental capabilities ceased abruptly somewhere between reading me a card stating their cancelation policy, and rudimentary comprehension of the passage of time. Finally, from the third person I spoke to, the delicate phrase was uttered, "So you canceled in May, but were charged for June? that doesn't seem right."

And now, after much tomfoolery, I must cancel my current DSL/phone service. Due to distance problems, the "band" of DSL in my building could be considered anything but "broad". Verizon has thusfar been very helpful in seeing this attempt and failure at service through, and as far as I know, I won't have to pay just to figure out something they should have already known.

The home phone itself is another casualty of war. Without the accompanying DSL, it serves to do little but provide me with an unbroken stream of telemarketer calls. Quite frankly that's $30/mo I'd rather spend on getting kicked in the throat.

Other than that, the exploration of the South Bay area has been going pretty well, and the more I uncover, the more I realize there is to uncover. Slowly but surely I can fill my schedule with things to do until all I want to do is sit on my ass and do nothing again... and oh what an excellent time that will be.
