CCCLLLOOOMMMMMMMMM!

I was doing sooo well with the whole chest pain thing, but it's back. There were a few days in a row where I was totally fine. I just have to wait until November to figure it out I guess. No good. I'm a very impatient person.

I can't really remember what I did between waking up and going to Target besides that I showered. I think I ate some cereal, but that's about it. I think maybe around 2:30 Katy and I went to go put gas in my car and then we went out for a Target run to get some things that we needed around our room and the bathroom. After we got back from Target we hooked up that bathroom with the new handy dandy shower curtain and I finished printing off papers for MUS 280.

Yeah, my chest ain't feeling so hot right now =/ Like really.

Then Daniel came over and chit chatted with all of us for a bit, and then I think I spent a huge chunk of time trying to get my internet to work. It was failing miserably. I think it's because there are so many people in Towers and we're all on our computers. Or I could be completely wrong.

CLOM was at 9:30, so Katy and I started tossing the counseling center ball around just like we did last year. It made me happy. And it made me even more happy that we're rooming together again. I missed her.

CLOM was boring and a little awkward, but that's okay. Daniel called during CLOM, but I called him back and talked to him on the way to In-N-Out. I probably shouldn't have been talking in the car and talking to everyone else instead, but I hadn't talked to him in a while and he wasn't going to be up much later. In-N-Out was fun, as usual, and I got to know Kellie a little bit better. I would've gotten to know her even better had I not been on the phone, but that's okay. It was past midnight by the time we got home, which is fine I guess, but I'm not looking forward to waking up in the morning.

I'm all showered and now I need to pick out what I'm wearing tomorrow.

Go!!!

Today was gross hot. I don't know what it is about NSO, but it seems like the weather decides to heat up just for the freshies. It was fairly cool all summer, I think I even wrote about it a few days ago, but this week has been ridiculously hot. I feel really bad for my mom, but thank goodness she's had the past two days off and she doesn't work tomorrow.

I missed Katy's pillow fluffing.

The majority of the returning students moved back in today, which was a little crazy and really nice. It's been weird not having people all over the place, so it was really good to see everyone coming back. Kellie and Laura moved in today and it seems like they're getting along well. I haven't really talked to Kellie yet, so I haven't decided how I feel about her yet. I think I'll like her though, just nor nearly as much as Erin. I'm going to miss her terribly, but I'm glad she's coming to visit.

We pretty much spent the whole day in our rooms aside from an outing to the caf and bookstore and then down to the Fieldhouse to watch Frosh Follies. They were so much better than the ones we did last year.

Tomorrow consists of finding where my classes are, a Target run, printing the rest of my stupid MUS 280 stuff, and getting ready for class on Monday. Exciting. I think.

get set

Blogging every day makes me feel like I'm actually accomplish something, but I strongly dislike it sometimes. Sometimes I just don't want to write. And if I decided to just blog every once in a while, I won't blog at all. And I like having the ability to blog about whatever is on my mind.

I only went to the beach for about an hour today. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get myself to stay. That's okay though I guess. I still felt like I got a little bit of a tan. I think I had gone to Ralphs and taken a shower by 1, so I was doing pretty good for the day only being slightly halfway over. I ate a chicken pot pie, went to check my mail, put my parking permit on my car, and then waited for Katy to get here.

She got here maybe around 5, we unloaded her stuff, and then went over to her aunt's for dinner. Real food, not cereal. Wonderful. Once we got back to school, Katy unpacked, I e-mailed my dad some transcripts, and then I put most of my pictures up. There's a lot of them, and I don't really know if I like how I put them. I think I do. Katy's still putting hers up and Isabela's keeping us company.

Everyone else starts coming back tomorrow.

On your mark

To my surprise, I was not woken up by the sound of maintenance workers this morning. It was nice.

I ate and got ready, and I think I made it to the beach by 10:10. It was already super hot by the time I got there, so there was no way I could stay for 3 hours like I did yesterday. I think I ended up leaving around 12:45. So almost 3 hours.

Once I got back I showered and chillaxed until 4:20 when Laura came and picked me up. I don't think we've ever hung out with just the two of us outside of Hayes, so it was nice. We found the movie theatre, went in search of food, found food at Jack in the Box, and then made it back to the theatre in time to see 500 Days of Summer. I made the mistake of trying something new, and I didn't like it. But the movie more than made up for it. It was kind of sad, but I really enjoyed it. I wanted to know more about Summer though, and who she ended up with. I'm glad I didn't end up seeing it with Daniel. That would've been kind of awkward. I'm still iffy about that boy.

I chillaxed for a little bit once we got back, bet then I went over to Target to pick up a few things. I rushed over there thinking it closed at 9, but it closed at 10, so I was okay. The rest of my night was taken up with rescheduling my life. There isn't a London Religion program next year, so that screwed up this semester's schedule and my 4 year plan. I fixed it though. But now it's looking more like a four and a half year plan, which is totally fine.

Montag

I'm too tired to be writing this.

I woke up to the sound of men laughing, singing, and speaking Spanish. That's okay. I forgive them.

I got up and got ready for the beach and I was there by 10:30. I think I should've went to convo though. I was at the beach until 1, and I think I got there at a perfect time because it was packed by the time I left. I needed to mail Erin's birthday card, so I made a pit stop at the post office before I got back to school.

I showered and was already exhausted from my pretty relaxing day. I would've felt like I cheated if I took a nap, so I forced myself to stay awake. I had Pepp Band rehearsal at 6 until around 7, which went well except for the fact that my chops are extremely rusty, and then we needed to be back by 8:30. The freshie thing was running a little behind, so instead of going on at 10 we went on around a quarter after, but we were done fairly quickly. I was planning on going back up with Kelsey, since she lives right across from me, but I walked back with Jason instead. He told me about some cool spots on campus and then he took me to this one room that was full of mattresses. We spent maybe about ten minutes just jumping around. It was awesome. By the time I got back to my room it was a little after 11 and I didn't really feel like running, but I needed to. So I did. And now I'm super exhausted.

Beach tomorrow. Maybe movies with F-Bomb.

dial

It's stupid how tired and dehydrated I am.

I was planning on waking up around 9, but I was able to wake up around 8 with the help of the maintenance workers. Everything that happens in the parking lot can be heard from our room, so I heard lots of men speaking Spanish, the beeping of trucks backing out of the parking spots, and lots of doors slamming. That's okay though. I needed to get up anyway.

I finished putting everything away, ate, and then went to go visit Isabela after she was all moved in and not so overwhelmed. She needed to take a language placement exam, and trying to be helpful, I volunteered to take her. Unfortunately, I got mixed up and took her to the opposite side of the world from where she needed to be. I felt sooo bad, but we were able to get there almost on time.

I spent the rest of the day just chillin in the room with the exception of a brief outing to Ralphs where I managed to forgot one of the key things I wanted. I'm sure I can get it in the bookstore.

Beach tomorrow. I can still hear screaming. Poor freshies. I bet they're exhausted.

Chautauqua

I shouldn't have pressed the snooze button as many times as I did. 1 less time would've made all the difference.

Even though my dad just had to put air in my tires as I was about to go to breakfast, I still made it in a decent amount of time. I think I was like 5 minutes late. Bre and I both decided to get the Sunrise combo, which consisted of a fruit filled crepe, hashbrowns, eggs, sausage, and bacon. All for $5.99! Awesome choice. After our delicious breakfast and hilarious breakfast convo, we stood outside for about half an hour talking and laughing.

I went back to my dad's after breakfast, got the rest of my stuff, and then left for the bank to deposit a check. I think I was really on the road by 11:15 and got to PCH around 11:50. Right before the tunnel before you get on to PCH, I could tell there was traffic. And it was definitely traffic. Apparently there was an accident somewhere on PCH, so they closed it and made everyone take a detour. They had us turn onto Chautauqua which eventually turned back into PCH. I thought I'd be at school around 12:30, but it took me until around 1:30.

I checked in, unloaded my car, unpacked, and then waited for my dad and my sister. I think they showed up around 3 with all the big stuff that couldn't fit into my car. After all of that was unloaded, we drove down to the bookstore so Emme could get some shirts and then we went to Coogies for dinner. They dropped me off and left around 6, and then Daniel showed up a little bit later. He helped me put some stuff away, ran down the halls, and then that was pretty much it. It was kind of a random visit that wasn't necessarily wanted, but thats okay.

I spent most of the evening just putting things away and rearranging the room, which has been quite tiring. I had to move my car, so as I was on my way back, I figured I would give Laura a call and see if she was around. She was, so I stopped in for about an hour and got filled in on her life and she got filled in on mine. I'm going to miss seeing her everyday and having her drop in every night before bed.

eleven

Tim's status was something about taking it to 11, but I don't know what that means. I don't know if I want to know what that means. I'll look it up on urban dictionary when I'm done posting...

Today was my dad's birthday. I woke up at 10:30, despite my inability to fall asleep, and I showered and was ready to go by noon. We were going to go to some shabu place in West Covina, but it looked sketch and Emme and I weren't feeling it, so we all went to Edward's instead. I guess Emme was tired or something because she kind of started acting up towards the end and didn't get much better.

Between lunch/dinner and mass, my dad opened his presents and then we all just did whatever. Tonight was the LifeTeen mass, so there was lots of hand clapping on the offbeats (which I find so hilarious) and lots of teenyboppers. I saw Amanda, a few other people I recognized from Cal, Paul and Carrie, Uncle Vic, Tania, and Rebecca and Jessica. Tania, Rebecca, and Jessica didn't see me until the end, which was totally fine with me. I thought about inviting Rebecca to breakfast this morning, but decided against it. But it works out since she has work at 8 tomorrow. She said something about stopping by tomorrow morning, but she won't. We aren't doing a goodbye this year. There really isn't a need.

After mass, I went to go pick up my pictures from Walgreens, went to go pick up my ADV book from my grandparents' house, and then went to go say bye to my mom. She didn't cry in front of me, but she seemed sad and I'm sure as soon as I walked out the door she started to cry. I'll miss her, but it's not like we don't talk or anything.

When I got back to my dad's, I was finally able to connect to his wifi, I uploaded my pictures, we loaded up the Pilot, I hung out with my sister, and now everyone's in bed.

Big day tomorrow.

*8/22/09

**10:50 PM

Rico woke me up this morning with his complaints about all the boxes in my room. I’m not sure what time it was, but it was still dark out. Then my mom came in to wake me up and say goodbye before she went to work. I was out of it, so I don’t really remember what happened. But I have to go back home tomorrow for a sec because I forgot a few things, so I can give her a proper goodbye tomorrow.

I got out of bed around 10:30, got ready, and then went to the Montebello mall in search of board shorts and polo shirts. No luck. Then I stopped by Walmart to get some socks. I hate that store. I was home around 1:15ish and loaded up my car. I played with Diva for a bit in the backyard, and then said goodbye to both her and Rico. I didn’t really say goodbye to them last year and Rico was nowhere to be found the morning I left. At least I get to say bye again tomorrow.

From home I went to my grandparents’ house and hung out with them until it was time to get to my dad’s. I took some pictures, ate some watermelon, laughed with my uncle, got my nails done, and then went to my dad’s. As soon as I got to his house we went to Pacific Sales where my dad spent forever talking to the sales rep. We finally left a little after 6 and went to Shabu.

After Shabu we swung by the house for a few minutes, went to Albertsons, went to Red Oak BBQ to pick up my dad’s credit that he forgot there last night, went to some random party of one of Jen’s co-workers, and then Walgreens to drop off my film. The photo guy was trying to be all cute and asking me a whole bunch of questions, but I wasn’t feeling it.

I’ve spent the rest of my evening playing speed with my sister, and now I think it’s time for bed. Early, I know.

promo

Never again will I fill out a promotional sweepstakes thingy.

I got three confusing phone calls from some magazine publishing place or something like that this morning. My debit card was charged 50 bucks, and I'm hoping it gets refunded because I asked them to undo whatever the hell they did. So I was pretty flustered.

My hair appointment went great. Nicole cut a little more length than I was planning on cutting, but she left my bangs long, and I look good, so it works.

After my haircut I swung over to the mall to look for a beach towel, a pork pie hat, white sneakers, and boardshorts. No luck. Then I went to Target to get an extra towel. From Target I went to Sports Authority, but I didn't have any luck there either. I then went to deposit money into my account, and then I went to my grandparents' house.

I ate, tried clothes on, watched TV, loaded my car, and then I was off. I spent most of my evening packing, which was very overwhelming, and I think I packed to much, but I'm done. I just need to load my car and we're golden.

I don't know when I'm going to see my mom again after tonight. I'm not coming back home before I leave.

laundry

I meant to go to bed at midnight. Whoops.

I woke up at noon, just shortly before my mother, but couldn't get out of bed until close to one because Rico was on me. As soon as he left, I got in the shower, only to have Rico waiting for me when I got out, along with a wonderful breakfast/lunch.

I spent most of the afternoon finishing up Speed Racer and Flapjack, both of which turned out well, and sorting a huge amount of laundry. Since our dryer is about 40 years old and started eating things, I took all of my clothes to my grandparents' house to have their 20 year old washer and dryer do the job. I don't know how many loads we got through tonight, but we didn't finish.

gus gus

My mom just got home.

I don't really feel like writing tonight. I just have like a month left and that'll make 2 years.

I didn't fall asleep until super early this morning, so I ended up sleeping in until noon. I need to get on a regular schedule considering I'll have 2, maybe 3, 8AMs incredibly soon. I think I ended up leaving the house around 2:30, headed for the bank, and then went to Daniel's house.

We were supposed to go to Golf N Stuff, but that didn't happen. Jacob called and invited us over for some board games, so Daniel said we'd just stop by for a little bit. We played Taboo, which was fun, a Disney Trivia game, ate pizza, I watched all of them play Twister, and then we finished the night with Pictionary Man. It was not how I wanted my last day with Daniel to go, but it wasn't terrible.

I went to go drop Daniel off at his house around 9, but he said he had something for me, so I didn't leave right away like I normally do. He brought out a bouquet of gerber daisies and walked me to my car. We said our goodbyes, but Daniel said he wanted to talk, so we drove over to Cal and talked until around 11.

It was the most intensely deep conversation I have ever had in my life. He talked about all of his feelings towards me, and everything he said was super sweet and cheesy, and it was everything a girl would ever want to hear. But then I let him know that I keep going back and forth about him, and so we got into all of that. That was the difficult part because I needed to tell him exactly how I felt and why I felt that way. We talked about some other equally deep things and said some more goodbyes, and then finally departed.

I've just been chillaxing at home, trying to find food with no luck, and now I think I should probably try and get some sleep.

singles

I almost forgot to post.

I woke up at 11 and figured since I haven't laid out in a while, I would do that today. Unfortunately, it was sunny, but not very warm. I swear, this summer hasn't been as hot as summer's normally are. I think we've broken 100 just a handful of times when normally there's a good solid chunk of days where it's sweltering. It's been hot, but not as hot as I've been expecting it to be.

I didn't really do much of anything before 5. Katy and I had a Skype sesh for about an hour and caught up on a few things since we hadn't spoken since I left. Once her power was running low and it was about time for me to get ready for dinner, we parted ways.

Tonight's dinner was set up in hopes of seeing Jordan Blackburn. I would say that the trip was all for not, but it was actually quite pleasant. I always have a great time with Bre and Tania, and seeing Shaun tonight was really nice too. He only charged us for our meals and not all the extra stuff, so that was incredibly nice of him. I wish we could've hung out some time this summer, but oh well.

After dinner I came home and started working on my Munnys again. I finished my dad's and I'm almost done with mine. I just need to do Flapjack's face, and seal both of them, and we're golden.

Tomorrow Daniel and I are going to Golf n Stuff and he wants to go to dinner, and then I don't know what else. I think we're saying our goodbyes tomorrow, but maybe not...

vintage

Today was quite productive.

I woke up at a decent time and got ready for my day. I think I was out of the house by 12:45 and I was at the mall by 1.

I got 2 pairs of jeans at Macys, got a bathing suit at PacSun, and looked around for a pair of white kicks. I found a few that I liked, but I didn't feel like spending 60 bucks on shoes. I'm not that desperate. On my way home I stopped by Target and spent what seemed like forever perusing the isles, grabbing whatever I needed.

I am all set for school with the exception of a beach towel, white sneakers, a pork pie hat, and a cover for my laptop.

I was expecting to spend the rest of the evening at home, but my uncle needed more help, so my mom and I went over to my grandparents' house for dinner. After we got home I sat down and started working on my Munnys. I got a lot done tonight, but I still have a ways to go.

sundae

I was happy with the way today turned out.

After a quick pit stop at some warehouse place, we made it to my grandparents' house and promptly started to get our grub on. My grandma made tamales, taquitos, rice, beans, and... I don't remember what else. Everyone was all happy eating and laughing, so it was cute. When we had all chillaxed for a bit and my mom had opened her presents, we all sat down and had cake and ice cream sundaes. The sundaes were simple, but they were really good.

There was some more chillaxing and the my mom and I were off to go run some errands. We went to some shoe store to try to find me some white sneakers, with no luck, then we went to Big 5 to try to find my mom some work boots, with no luck, and then we went to Michael's to get some paint, which was successful.

My uncle's interviewing with KFWB this week and had some questions for me, so I answered as best I could, but I went over to my dad's to get my advertising book so maybe my uncle could use it. After the quick little stop at my dad's, my mom and I went back to that warehouse to pick up some chairs, 4 for 10 bucks each, bargain, and then went back to my grandparents' house to drop the book off.

I was out of it by the time we got home, so I crashed until 10. Shortly after waking up, Daniel called, and we talked til around 11:30. I've just been sitting around since then, but I should probably get to bed soon.

mixer

I always forget what titles I've used. I was going to use "expectations," but apparently I already used that one.

Today actually went pretty well.

I pretty much just chillaxed until 2 and then the fun started.

There was a little ichat drama in the beginning, but we eventually figured it out and Laura, Erin, and I were finally able to chat. I miss them a lot. Especially Erin since I haven't seen her or talked to her allllll summer. I really hope she's able to come visit before she goes to BA.

The rest of my day was filled with Munny prep and movies.

I watched Be Kind Rewind, which wasn't as good as I was hoping, and I just finished Juno. It makes me cry every time I watch it. It makes me want a Paulie Bleeker. But I'm scared of that.

Friday, August 14, 2009

compound

I don't know when I'll be home or how I'll feel when I get home, so I'm posting now.

I woke up at a decent time again, got ready, and then I was off.

I went to Tilly's to buy some V-necks and then made my way over to Sam Ash to get a tambourine for my mom. I don't know why she wants one, but she does. After Sam Ash I got gas and then went over to my grandparents' house to help my uncle with presentation stuff. He was around, so I ate lunch and waited for him. I didn't need to show him too much, but I think what I did show him was helpful. I don't know. After dinner and an episode of Top Chef Masters, I came home.

Surprisingly, tonight is still on. I had a little drama trying to figure out what to wear, but I think I'm good. Now I need to finish getting ready and then head over to Rebecca's house. I think other people are coming, which is cool I guess, but I was hoping for it to be just us. But maybe it's better this way. Or not. Whatever. Tonight better be good.

**1:51 AM

Lame.
Waited at Rebecca's door for about 5 minutes.
Picked up Elena.
Picked up Tania.
Waited for Bre.
Drove to Uptown.
Sat in the car so Rebecca could do her makeup.
Hung out at Coffee Bean with Mike Hernandez.
Drove aimlessly.
Got to a party right as it got raided.
Drove aimlessly.
Dropped everyone off.
And now I'm home.

Rebecca isn't a good driver.
I shouldn't have gotten all dolled up for tonight.
I doubt I'll see her again before I go to school, and I'm actually okay with that.

shield

I actually woke up this morning. I think I woke up at 9:10 or some time close to that. I got ready, figured out where I was going and then picked Daniel up.

I got a little turned around right when we go to Belmont Shores, but I figured it out real quick and got a really good parking spot. It was kind of muggy and a smidge chilly, but the beach was still nice. It was warm enough, but not warm enough to get in the water and I don't think it was sunny enough to get a tan. Regardless, it was still really nice. Daniel spent most of the time flying his kite and even let me get a few turns. I think we left close to 3, stopped by In-N-Out, and then went to his house.

We scrapped the music video idea, took a few pictures, and then watched some tv. I noticed there were gerber daisies on his coffee table, but I didn't say anything. I'd like to think they were for me considering he recently asked what my favorite flower was, but idk. I left at 6 so I would have enough time to get ready if Rebecca was still able to go out, but it was all for not.

Plans were cancelled. I should have known. She suggested we go out tomorrow night, which would be nice, but she'll probably cancel again. Whatev.

whisper

I guess I do it too, but not to the extent as my mom does. When my mom has a new favorite song, she listens to it over and over again, trying to learn all the words. Her current favorite: Click Click Flash - Ciara. It's a good song, but I'm kind of sick of it. For the past several nights, she's been listening to it on her i-Pod, singing it over and over again. Only it isn't really singing. It's like a loud whisper and it's scares me. It sounds creepy and I wish she would either stop or actually sing.

I woke up late again today. Noon. It's a problem.
My mom had the day off so she made us brunch. French toast.
We sat around for a while and watched a movie. Ferris Buehler's Day Off.
I contemplated what I wanted to do today. Oh so much, but lacked motivation.
I worked on my Munny's. The sculpey's done and ready for baking.
I sorted out the clothes that were MIA. Found lots of good stuff.
Did nothing the rest of the evening.

Daniel and I are going to the beach tomorrow. I don't know which beach and I don't know what the weather's supposed to be like, but it'll work out. And then Rebecca hit me up via Facebook about going clubbing tomorrow. The only club I can think of is the Heist, which I am all for, but I doubt it's gonna go down. And she said she's driving, which I'm not really comfortable with. She just got her license which took her 3 times to pass and I don't know if I trust her on the freeway. I guess I should. I trusted myself. We'll see what happens. If we don't go to a club, I hope we find a party to go to.

shipping

I really want a pork pie hat. Like really want one. I'd probably never wear it, but still.

My day started late, as usual. I don't think I got in the shower until around 1 and I don't think I left to pick up my screens until 2:30. After picking up my screens I went to Walgreens to look for the Slapchop, and thankfully, they had it. I came home to put my screens back on and had intended on going to Sam Ash, but I got side tracked and spent the whole evening watching videos on Hulu.
I don't know what tomorrow has in store, but I hope I'm productive.

classics

I woke up at a decent time this morning and I think I was out by noon. Maybe a smidge after noon.
As soon as I got to my grandparents' house, my grandma and I were already on our way out. Our first stop was In-n-Out, then WalMart, then Target, and then JCPenny. I got a tiny dent out of what I need for school, so I guess it was effective.
I was supposed to go pick up my screens, but I didn't feel like it, so I spent the rest of the day on the computer. I was somewhat productive though. I ordered some stuff for my mom and I ordered my books for school. Hopefully I'll have them by the time classes start.
And that was my day.
Tomorrow consists of screens, Sam Ash, and window screens. Maybe even Micheals.
I need to get out.
I need to go to a party.
I need to chill with Shaun.
I need to make some bad choices before I go back to school.
I've been too good.

lace ups

Waking up early, which wasn't even all that early, messed me up today.

My mom and I ended up getting to my grandparents' house around 10:30ish, right when everyone had just started eating. The other day I had jokingly made a remark to my mom about how we should tell my grandma to make menudo. My mom said she wouldn't, but I said she totally would if I asked her. I didn't even have to ask. It was like she knew that I wanted her to make it. She said I needed to have some before I go off to school. Nice.

After we had gotten over how full we were, my grandma took me and my mom over to Home Depot and bought us some more plants and flowers for the house. I'm really happy with how the front yard is turning out. Now the backyard needs to get done. My mom was thinking about doing a pea gravel patio, but I talked her out of it and I think we're going to do some kind of pavers. She wants to have it done by the 22nd so I can have people over before I go to school, but I seriously doubt that will happen. That was our goal last year, to have people over before I left for school. It didn't happen. I don't think I even want to have my friends over. It's not like I have any anyway. I have like 3. Daniel, Tania, and Bre. That rhymed. I can always do dinner or breakfast with them sometime before I leave. It doesn't need to be a get together at my house that's oh so far away from everyone else.

After Home Depot, my mom and I just hung out and watched TV until maybe around 3 and then went to the place where she gets her uniforms for work since she needed a new shirt. I was looking at the shoes and ended up getting navy lace up vans to replace my navy slip ons that are all torn up inside. I like the look of the lace ups better anyway. I need some new white tennies, and I found some Addidas that I liked, but they didn't fit me right. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

We had King Taco for dinner and I ended up passing out around 8. I missed ABDC, but I'm sure I can catch it some time this week. I woke up at 11:12, lame, and now I'm not sleepy. I should try to force myself to fall asleep since I'll be waking up kinda early but not tomorrow. My grandma wants me to go with her to In-n-Out and Walmart at noon. Sure thing.

feature

I didn't fall asleep until 6 and I woke up at 10:30.
NBD.

I spent the late morning finishing up my roll of film, took it in to get developed, spent the afternoon downloading music, picking up and editing my film, downloading more music, and spent the evening at dinner and Lowes with my mom. I was planning on spending the whole evening cleaning the house with my mom, but as soon as she found out my grandparents weren't coming over tomorrow, cleaning the house was thrown out the window. I really wanted to clean the house. I also really want to go to the fair tomorrow. Mainly to take pictures. I had plenty of opportunities to go, but I'm stubborn and didn't, and now tomorrow is the last day. I don't think I'm going.

I have an early start tomorrow, yeah right, so I should probably shower and try to get some sleep.

broth

I slept way too much today and now it's 3 and I'm not tired. Problem.

I was productive, however.

I went to the window place, I looked for the movie my mom's been wanting (no luck), I went to Borders, I assembled a swing all by myself, and then that's pretty much it.

Tomorrow is going to be intense house clean up day.

undisclosed

I woke up later than I had planned to again. But it wasn't a big deal.

I got ready, went to get my filthy car washed, and then went over to Daniel's. Things got pretty h&h, but there were two buzz kills. His nephew is back in the hospital because of an infection, but he should be okay. The second buzz kill was the dtr we had. He wants to be official, but I said no. I still keep going back and forth about it.

Around 4:30 we went up to Michigan Park to try and fly his kite, but it wasn't windy enough. After several sad attempts, we went and visited with Nordquist for a while, which was cute, and then I dropped Daniel off.

I went to dinner at the G-Units' and then spent the evening gallivanting around with my mom.

Tomorrow needs to be a productive day.

estrella

I really need to get out of the house and do something productive. I am spending way too much time at home, sitting in front of the computer. And then I sleep in well into the morning, and I stay up well after midnight. It's a problem that I need to fix.

I woke up around 11:30 today and was upset that I missed 11:11. I sat around doing nothing for a while, but then I decided to get dressed. It was a step. I thought about going to get my screens redone, but I ended up at my grandparents' house instead. My grandma had called this morning inviting me over for pancakes, but I was asleep. She called again inviting me over for some KFC, but since I don't like KFC, I suggested I would have leftover pancakes instead. So I ate breakfast/lunch/dinner with the g-units, and later, my mom. I stayed longer than I was expecting to, until around 8:40, and have pretty much done nothing the rest of the evening.

I did doodle, however. I'm doodling on a Munny outline, but it's incredibly detailed and intense, so I probably won't ever actually make one like that. And if I were, I'd have to do an original Munny and not a Mini Munny. Or maybe I could do a Mini Munny...

Daniel and I are supposed to do something tomorrow. What? Idk. And I think he's getting me flowers. He asked me my favorite kind and my favorite colour. Hmm...

After going back and forth on the issue for practically months, I've been stuck on one side for a few days. I'm still super confused though. I wish I could just decide what exactly it is that I want.

ribs

I awoke to a strange noise outside my window this morning.
"Wha... is it raining?" I thought to myself.
I got out of bed and walked over to the window to check to see if it was, in fact, raining. Sure enough, the floor was almost completely wet and I could see the drops coming down.
"Strange," I thought.
I walked into the living room to find my mother just as confused as I was. Unfortunately, it was short lived. About 10 minutes later, it stopped, allowing the rest of the day to be warm and sunny.

I spent the rest of my day sorting laundry, drawing, surfing the internet, and going to my grandparents' house for dinner. I wasn't really in the mood to leave the house, but after my mom called me stubborn, I decided to go. I didn't use to think I was stubborn, but I guess I can be in certain situations. I find myself as more of a pushover actually. I hardly ever stand up for myself and I just do what people want me to. Doormat. I don't really mind. As long as I can make them happy, it's worth it I guess.

turnbull

Once again, I woke up later than planned.

Shortly after waking up, I started cleaning my room and the living room. I was actually enjoying it, but the Daniel called and wanted to hang out, so I stopped cleaning, got ready, and hung out with him.

We tried flying his new kite, but it wasn't all that windy, so we we decided to head up to Turnbull. It wasn't nearly as exciting as I thought it would be. After Turnbull we headed to his house and tried to come up with some choreography for our video. It was a good start, but we aren't very close to finishing it.

The rest of my night has been uneventful.

hot shoe

Last night, Tania, Bre, and I were talking about how we wanted to/should go to the Colbie Caillat concert coming up. Being the rash person that I am, I bought tickets last night. I should've waited, but I didn't. I bought one for me, one for Katy, and one for Laura, thinking it would be cute if we all came down for the concert. Unfortunately, Katy and Laura have class the night of the concert, so there I was, stuck with two extra tickets. Fortunately, Bre hadn't bought hers yet, so she's taking one, and Laura decided she can skip class, so there went the other one. It worked out I guess. But that's how my day started.

I sat around doing nothing all day. I should've cleaned my room or something since it looks terrible, but I didn't. I just sat around.

I got the urge to finish my roll of film, so I did, but it didn't work again. I was less upset this go round since they were stupid pictures and I didn't load it. I believe it is now loaded correctly, and ready for action. It will work.

I caught 11:11 tonight.

I should've wished to make up my mind.

strawberry

One of the best nights of my summer.

I sat around all day today and didn't leave the house until around 9:30. I went to pick up Tania and from her house we went to Valu-Mart to pick up some snacks for Bre's house. We made it to Bre's a little after 10, talked for a bit, and then watched Baby Mama. I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hilarious, especially together. After the movie, we just spent hours talking about things and making each other crack up.

My absolute favorite part(s) of high school were the moments that my friends and I would be doubled over, laughing, gasping for breath, and complaining that our stomachs were sore. I laugh at Pepperdine, but I don't laugh like that. That's one of the things I miss most while at school. I miss laughing to the point I have tears streaming down my face. I'm happy to say that the doubling over, crying, gasping for breath kind of laughter happened tonight, and I loved it. Maybe it's just that group that does it for me. Maybe we were just so close and understood how stupid we were?

Tania and I left around 3:30, and I got home around 4. I should really get to bed soon.

regal

My day started later than I had planned, but I don't think I would've done anything earlier than I ended up doing stuff, so it worked out.

I finally left the house around 1:40 and went to Rio to sort out my transcript dealio. Grades are in and everything, but I guess they won't be totally official until this summer session is over, so they aren't going to send my transcript until the 22nd. No problem. I got a print out of it, and I ended up getting all A's. I knew I was going to get A's in my geology classes, but I figured I'd get a B in SOC. I would've been happy with a B, but an A is even better. Now if they only went into my GPA...

From Rio, which took longer than expected, I went to go pick up my sister from school, which also took longer than expected. She was happy to see me, as usual, and from school we went to Jamba Juice. I needed to kill time, so instead of sipping on our smoothies on the way to the movies, we stayed at the Whittwood and just chillaxed for a few. We made it to Regal super early, but there wasn't anything else to do. I wasn't too excited about seeing Aliens in the Attic, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and I even found myself laughing at some parts. Unfortunately, right smack dab in the middle of the climax, my sister decides she has to pee. So we missed the climax and part of the ending, but we caught about the last 3 minutes. Great. After the movie my sister wanted to eat at Round Table for dinner, so I humored her. It wasn't that great, but I had a pretzel at the movies, so I got my fill early on. Once we got home we watched some 3D Barbie Pegasus movie. I wanted to fall asleep, but I willed myself not to. Her parental units came home around 9, and I left around 9:40.

I ended up going to the movies again, but with Daniel. We saw Funny People, which was funny, but it was a little too long. Yesterday night he told me, via fbook chat, that he wanted to talk, but we didn't really "talk" tonight. Maybe some other time.

Since it's almost 3 and I've been tired since like 8, I need to go to bed.
