Title: So's I (won't) be moving to Sunnyvale....
Post by: XpHoBiaX on May 30, 2008, 05:09:14 PM
I will most likely be moving BACK to Sunnyvale in the few weeks comming. Meaning I am giving up my apprenticeship to come out here. I will most likely be down around the 7th of June, Job hunting. There's no way I can live where I am at now. That, and it's a rather lonely, depressing place.

It's been roughly 6-7 years since I had lived there, and would like to be able to hang out with some peeps while I am around. ;) I will be around for possibly two weeks or so, depending on if I get hired anywhere. If not, I will be traveling back and forth until I do get a job down/around that area.

Well, here're some local anime groups to start you off:

* No Name Anime, Santa Clara. http://nnanime.com/
* Foothill Anime, Los Altos. http://foothill.anime.net/
* CA-West, Campbell. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CA-West/
* Tsunami Anime, San Jose. http://studiokyuu.com/tsunami/

If you're up for meeting people outside of anime, Meetup.com is a great social site. I'm on a Santa Clara walking group, myself.

No Name is on June 14th. Bring your resume and I can help critique it.

PM me if you have any questions!

Please join us at No-Name Anime (http://www.nnanime.com (http://www.nnanime.com)) on Sat the 6/14 if you can. During our "Break" is usually a good time to  chat with people. This is often about 2:20pm to 3:00pm, but the exact time will depend on our to-be-decided published scheduled and exactly when the last anime show before break ends.

Yeah for any of you actualy wondering where the F I live currently...The address SAYS Ione, Ca....but I am closer to the border of Calaveras.

I am still hoping I can move down sometime...but the idea seems to be moot. Unless I like, live in a motel. @.@

That's freaking weird.
o:

I see your thread title and I chuckle thinking "What a coincidence! I live in Sunnyvale!"
Now I  see where you live currently and I'm like wtfhax. I lived in Ione from 2000-2002.

Small world.

Anyway, word to the wise, once you get yourself settled here again...
Go to Chipotle on El Camino next to the Borders and have a burrito.
Do eet.

Dude I will so do eeeet! lol
And like maybe we can all have a welcome home gathering...since technically I am comming back to the place I used to call home. (yeah it's a few houses down the street, but that is still where I grew up!)

Awesomesauce.
Whereabouts in  Sunnyvale?

I'm off of Remington/Fair Oaks myself.
Title: Re: So's I be moving to Sunnyvale....
Post by: XpHoBiaX on June 04, 2008, 07:58:57 PM
Hopefully I will be living on Lori Avenue.
I may not be able to get to visit as soon as I thought, my pet rat needs medical attention...and well, he comes first. He's my only friend and companion out here. He means a lot to me. So I need to take care of him first.
Title: Re: So's I be moving to Sunnyvale....
Post by: NerdyBirdAsh on June 04, 2008, 10:04:58 PM
Understandable.
I hope all ends well.

One of my kittens died 2 days ago, and it happened to be my favourite, so I can certainly sympathize.
Title: Re: So's I be moving to Sunnyvale....
Post by: XpHoBiaX on June 05, 2008, 01:44:42 AM
Yeah I was crying all day yesterday, and then a few friends called me up and made me feel better. They're gonna try and help me pay for his doctor visit. I gotta see if the vet will lump it all together in one bill, instead of consultation+watever else he needs done.

I can't risk cutting off the dead part of his tail while he is still weak from nearly starving to death. His immunity is low and if he gets an infection from me doing that, it would surely kill him. And I couldn't live with that. So, the best thing to do is get him to a vet, have him/her do it safely and give him antibiotics.

Also, he may need other things, as he is pretty much all bones right now. It's aweful.
When I come down to visit, I will be taking him to a shelter a friend of mine knows about that is family owned. He will have to stay there, as I currently am not financially able to even take care of myself. The good thing is that he will be well taken care of, and I can get him back when everything is alright.
Some people may find this very stupid, and I am going through alot for a 'stupid rat', but this pet of mine is like my child. I want my baby to get better, and be in a safe place until I can get situated. It's not right to make him suffer too.

*hugs* to your pet rat. (and you too, of course)

If we're all legal, there's always Murphy's Street in Sunnyvale. I can bring Apples to Apples or other party games for no good reason. Uh... What else is there to do in Sunnyvale? There *is* free music at a coffee cafe in Mountain View...


aka. Washu! ^O^

Post by: XpHoBiaX on June 06, 2008, 11:57:13 AM
I had to put my rat down. I am feeling a little bit better today...but yesterday was aweful. I am still real glum about it.

I had an invitation to come to a birthday party around the 26th....not 100% sure when the date is...but I will probably be there longer ...maybe like a week or two depending on if I am allowed to move in and job hunt.  I believe I know where Murphy street is and I would love to hang out there.

I haven't played apples to apples...I almost bought it. I have the POTC version of that gambling dice game. I could bring that with me. I love playing those types of games.

Oh no, Phobia, I'm so sorry to hear about your rat.  :-[  ::offers e-hugs::

Post by: ced1106 on June 06, 2008, 03:15:45 PM
Well, tell your rat to look up my half-golden, JingJing. I'm sure they'll get along fine.

*hugs* to you.

Okay, let us know when you're coming into town. After the 26th is Foothill Anime in Los Altos, at Foothill College. The group usually heads to dinner after the anime!

lol yeah...I think Toad is having a blast. Even though he was a lazy bum.

I'll know tomorrow when I am comming down...I think. At least for now I think Hell has subsided for a bit.

I'm so sorry about your rat.

Good luck job hunting.
I'm having a hell of a time finding anything right now, the job market isn't great with the economy the way it is.

I'm fond of Bean Scene on Murphy Street myself.
I usually spend my summers there, using the internet and watching whatever entertainment they let in.

So's I may not be able to move anytime soon...but I think I will be able to visit when I start subbing for the school district.
