The big news around here right now is Eric's surprise moving out. He informed me of his intentions two weeks ago, but I suppose I didn't think it would actually happen. He has his reasons, which of course I won't go into here, but it's still a shock. I don't think my brain has completely comprehended this. I'm sure I'll be walking into the living room for months thinking, "where the hell is Eric?" He's been in this house almost as long as I've been alive. Eric has saved my ass a number of times and I owe him muchly. I wish him nothing but the best.
Hrmbleh. I have such difficulties writing about things that actually matter to me. Since that's the only new thing that matters, this will probably be a short entry.
On Monday I gotta go to Ventura to deal with my speeding ticket. That hasn't happened yet, though, so I can't write about it.
Hmm. This might be a VERY short entry.
Wait! I know! To make up for the lack of events in my life, I'll copy and paste something else. It's one of those dumb chain-letter facts-about-you things; I filled it out mainly because Scott was sure nobody would. The 14-year-old AOLer in me still gets a tiny kick out of filling these out. And the 21-year-old in me gets a tiny kick out of using it as diary filler!
1. What time is it? 10:36 AM
2. Name: Kevin "No Nickname" Simpson
3. Name on birth certificate: Kevin David Simpson
4. Spoon or fork when you eat mac n cheese: Spoon, though I have at last come to respect the ways of the fork people
5. Number of candles on your last birthday cake: 21. I was going to say something stupid, but then I realized I actually had a birthday cake last year and it actually had 21 candles on it
6. Number of shoes you have: Four. Two pairs. Both are falling apart. I hate buying shoes
7. Pets: There's a cat named Cedric that wanders my house, but he's not mine. He still rocks, though, and he kicks the crap out of the snoopy orange and white cat
8. Natural Hair color: I think it's actually black now, but I still say it's brown.
9. Color your hair is now: Did Matt write this quiz?
10. Eye color: They're kind of brown with green in the middle. Seriously
11. How much do you love your job: Uh... this much: [OOOOOOO---]
12. Birthplace: Goleta, CA
13. Current Residence: Goleta, PI
14. Favorite food: Gotta go with cheeseburgers, but spaghetti is climbing the charts. I used to love pizza and Kraft Deluxe most of all, but I guess my cheesebuds have dimmed some in recent years
15. Been to Africa? In Street Fighter II? sure
16. Been toilet papering? No, but I do like it when nouns get verbed
17. Love someone so much it made you cry? Yeah
18. Are you in love now? Yeah, but I don't know what the hell love is.
19. Been in a car accident? Nothing serious. But ask Matt about the time I parked my car in his garage while the garage door was closed
20. Croutons or bacon bits? Croutons.
21. Favorite day of the week: Saturday
22. Favorite words or phrase: This changes frequently, but right now, it's "blargho"

29. What color is your bedroom carpet: A very spottily stained grey.
30. How many times did you fail your drivers test: Once. I looked over my left lane change for a right shoulder. HA HA~! I totally didn't mean to type that! I didn't mean to type that tilde, either.
31. Besides this one, from whom did get your last email? The last legitimate e-mail I got was from Scott also
32. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Amazon seems like cheating. Gotta go with Treasure Island
33. What do you do often when you are bored: Dammit, I wish I still had the time to get bored. So I guess what I do often when I am bored is "work," because that's the only place I get bored these days
34. Most annoying thing people ask: Oddly, I can't think of a single answer to this question now. Back when I was in high school, it was (while drawing) "What is that supposed to be?"
35. Bedtime: Between 9 and midnight. I had to stay up until 2 last night, and it was hellish. What happened to me?
36. Who will respond to this email the quickest? I doubt anyone will respond to this. After eight years of these, most people don't do them anymore (<-- HA! That'll teach you to doubt Kevin "No Nickname" Simpson!)
37. Who is the person you sent this to that is least likely to respond: Scott. Because he already did it.

41. Did you learn anything new about this person? I learned that Ford or Chevy is a weird name for a person
