**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
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 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.

vintage
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
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.

compound
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.

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.

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
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
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
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.

broth
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 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.

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
"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
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
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
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
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.
