Earthquake

A 5.0 earthquake just hit around the downtown area, so I felt it pretty strongly here. The whole house was shaking. Fortunately, I didn't freeze and went next to my bed like I'm supposed to. My heart is just pounding like crazy now...

I'm in shock

Square-Enix just called me back. I did a practice bug-test with them the other day and an interview with them today. They told me that they really liked me and that I should contact them when I get into town! I'm just in shock. I was prepared for the worst and it actually turned out ok in the end. Now we just have to see about Insomniac Games!

More job searching.

I'm taking this initial online test on the LAPD website, which will tell me whether or not I'm good enough to come in to take the written exam.

We'll see how this turns out.

Your aura colours are overlapped. Your most likely colours are:


Magenta.




Magentas are jesters. They are zany, spontaneous, offbeat, outrageous, physical, innovative, in the here-and-now, inventors, attention-seekers. Sometimes they're loners.


Physical Tan.




Physical Tans are soldiers and boyscouts. They are independent, responsible, sober, cautious, deliberate, calculated, dignified, reticent, individualistice and physical. They can also be rigid and inflexible.




Find out what colour your aura is.



What am I going to do?

Well it's looking more and more like LA will be where I will end up living. I have a company to interview for out there and judging from my phone conversation with them I think I stand a pretty good chance of getting a game testing job with them. It has good bennefits and decent pay. They also made "Spyro the Dragon", which makes them even more cool in my book. On top of that, LA is actually turning out to be cheaper than San Fran the more I look at apartments out there. My mom reccomended this one neighborhood called Silverlake, which used to be a bad neighborhood, but a lot of artists and musicians are moving out there now. I've been finding a lot of one bedroom apartments for about $800 a month, so hopefully things will work out.

I am kind of concerned about the game company game working out. I really want that job, but I want to have alternatives. It sounds kind of crazy, but I was looking at the LAPD website and I could make a pretty good starting salary with my degree. I would be starting at around 60k a year. I would have to work the beat for 4 years before I could do anything really cool. I know I want to work with the FBI, but I wonder if working for a local police force would be a good experience as well. I feel like everything is opening up to me after I graduate and I have too many things that interest me and I don't feel like I have enough time to explore things. Maybe I'm wrong?

For Julia

It would only be possible for me to stay with you because Reid has parents coming over. If this doesn't work with you at all just let me know.
