It's officially my first week of school that I'm done with. It's a good time but I am sooooo tired. Let me tell you, I absolutely HATE 8am classes. Yes yes yes I know that whole "oh you get done earlier" shpiel... but guess what! You still have to wake up early! And then if you just go back to bed after you get back home, you waste the whole day anyways! Blah.. whatever I'm just a lazy nerd.

Anyways.. hmm.. Friday was a good day.. I went to the Kiwanis Luncheon, and then the Div. Banquet. all in good fun. And theeeen that night I went to a party of Becca's friends and it was one of the more humiliating nights thus far. All I can say though is that I'm probably going to die and old maid because boys and I just really don't mix. Anyways... I made a big fool of myself on Friday night and then proceeded to take care of my drunken "crack-whore" who I love dearly, and spent the night. Only to wake up the next day, go to a Circle K meeting, and then go home and sleep for 6 hours. It was a good time. Only that Saturday night was uneventful because everyone had gone out while I was blissfully sleeping. Eh.. whatevers.. I chilled and chatted with friends, no big deal. Watched some movies. The next day my parents came and BROUGHT ME MY CAR! YAY!! It's so great and so exciting! I looooooove having a car. Although I go out far less than I did when I didn't have a car.. it's weird... things just work out like that eh?

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... class class class. STUB-Me for giving myself 8am classes five days a week. Hopefully I'll get into a routine of things though. On Sunday night I did get to go chill with Joe, who by the way is my very favorite personal hero. He's just great.. that's all. :) I'm glad he's back in SD. But yeah... I seem to be surviving okay without a regular phone or an internet connection, but I think I'm still going through withdrawal. It hurts. Monday night was pretty exciting though.. lots of new of people showed up at Circle K, which makes me really excited, especially since we really didn't advertise all that much. We were all super impressed. :) But it was a really good group, I'm excited about this year. And then I had a traumatizing conversation, but yeah.. whatever.. I'm a dope. Then proceeded to fight with my parents and my sister (*sigh.. yet again) which ended up in my yelling and crying and all of that not so fun stuff at 2am (which my roommate tells me I woke her up.. sorry Michelle!) But tricked Vivian into driving to LA and back (i'm possesed) and then later to Info Night... *sigh.. I'm sooo lame.

Anyways.. school school school.. that's basically what's been going on all week. Yuck. *sigh.. I miss summer.. but I have to go.. I have to go catch Vivian before she leaves me! have fun kids!

Today was the first day of school. It was a good time, but also very very loooong. But you know.. that feeling of the first day of school in elementary school, or middle school, or even high school, is so different than the first day of school at college. It just seems different somehow. Less fun, less exciting. I don't know. I think I'm just feeling old because I don't live on campus anymore, and I can't see my friends, and when I walk around I hardly know anyone because all of the people I do know all are scattered here and there. *sigh.

Anyways.. I woke up frightfully early (7:10am) after satying up painfully late to plan out my life/schedules if I were to add chem or biochem as a major and go pre-med. Scary thought eh? But I went to class at 8am.. *sigh*, and debated about whether or not to sit around and see if I was going to get into photography, but I figured I'd just wait until later. Then was going to go to my friend's chinese class with her, until I found out that was the same teacher that I had that I never went to class and eventually just dropped out of. Yeah.. didn't think I could sit through her class. ummm... no. So I passed out camptoons for Circle K on campus. I always hated those people who stood in your way on the way to Price Center and shoved things in your hand that you didn't want or need. And now... I've become one of those people. And I'm sure a whole bunch of people hate me. But then I always felt bad for those people because they would stand there just trying to do a job, and no one cared and just said "no thanks" and passed them on by. Yeah, that happened to me all day, I hate rejection. One good thing though is that I saw a lot of people today. More than I would normally see just sitting at home, especialy now that we all live off campus. Yuck.. growing up sucks. I do wish that I still lived on campus. Or that I was freshman again. I so live a life full of "what if's" it's horrible. yes yes yes I'm a reject.. I know.

Anyways.. I got home, tried to look at the classes I wanted to add to see if they were full (and yeah.. they were... junk!) scarfed down some lunch, and went back to campus with Michelle. yay! Tried to crash a Chem class, that was full of freshman. Crazy.. I felt oh so old. I can't believe those second and third and fourth years taking DOC.. it must be horrendous. Then tried to go to a math discussion that didn't start until next week, (nice) and then went to two Communication classes and saw some familiar faces, and had some time to kill before I was schedule to *appear* (haha) at the La Jolla Kiwanis Banquet. yeah right. So I wandered aimlessly around, and ran in to Eric Lawrence, one of the nicest guys ever, and just chilled and chatted with him for awhile. Then changed my clothes in the Peterson Hall bathroom (yes.. the pains of not living on campus, and having no car) and got picked up by Helen to go to the banquet. it was okay. It wasn't too painfully long, and I got out in time to catch Vivian before she left for the Delta Sig Party... "Black Thursday".. oooh.. (not really). :P

After rushing to get ready, we parked in a street, and started walking towards the party. At a crosswalk we saw a car run the red light as another car was turing left and watched this poor Jetta get slammed into by a white Alitma (sad.. my car). There was smoke, and air bags, and broken glass and it was just not good all around. We ran across the street hoping to not get killed by opposing traffic after taking a couple seconds too long staring at what just happened. STUBY. major STUBY. actually. STUBthem... dude. Anyways.. we got to the club and saw the MASSIVE line to get in, and tried to squeeze in. (yes.. it's one of our talents). too bad so many other people are talented at that. With much pushing and shoving and lots of yelling of back up, the club closed the doors, and after trying to get people to back up, right when it started looking hopeful that the doors would open back up, the popo showed up and told everyone outside to go home. :P So Vivian and I went to World Famous and ate some okay food while she flirted with the guys next to us, and they flirted back with her and felt up on her shoulders.. haha. And we went back to the party to see if it was back open, and the popo ruined all the fun again and made everyone go home. Somehow.. I feel jipped. but it's okay. there's a whole year of parties to go to. Four this weekend. yeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhh.. whatever.

So Vivian dropped me off, and I'm just sitting here blogging and chatting and being in a funk? What's with me being in funks? I don't know.. oh well.. we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Yes yes yes... I'm still alive, that is.. if anyone cares. Honestly I don't think people read my blogger, or that I'm special. I think it's just a nice place to vent, and if people want to read about my life, then so be it... although it does have that sort of scary stalker quality to it. Anyways.. I've been in a weird sort of blog lazyness funk lately. I honestly don't know what's gotten in to me. But after reading about some people's interesting lives I figured it was time to make a comeback.

*Oh wait.. I know what started this funk.. I was trying to blog last Tuesday about all the madness and my computer just kept freezing, or I pressed the wrong button, and after writing huge long blogs or emails, and they get lost, you just don't feel like trying again ya know? okay.. so here goes*

This past week has been kind of interesting in the way that it doesn't happen everyday. Not interesting good, but just interesting different. Tuesday, as I'm sure EVERYONE knows, was thee day. I remember my mom having the TV on, and I was mad that she had it on while I was trying to sleep, but after I finally woke up and realized what was on TV, I sat along with the rest of the world and stared in disbelief. Along the way I chatted with my grandma about what was going on as she could understand the pictures on the screen but not the words, and I called my sister and told her what was going on. And the first words out of her mouth were.. "Are you joking?" Because honestly, it was just that kind of thing that was too horrible to be true. We talked about how strange and surreal it all was because honestly you never think something like that was going to happen. It just like the plane crash killing Aaliyah, you never think something like that is going to happen, because bad things shouldn't happen to good people right? But all these events have been so weird. We were all in New York last month having the greatest time of our lives, and I flew in on a plane on Sunday, my grandparents flew in on a plane on Monday night, only half a day before it all went down. Who's to say that it couldn't have happened then? And that's the scariest thing. When you think you're in control, and you have everything down, something like this makes you realize that there are a kajillion other things going on it this world that you couldn't even begin to comprehend. Sadness.

But all of this made me think. As I tend to do occasionally. I get this same feeling sometimes when I'm watching TV, or when I'm in the hospital, and I think.. I like communications and I chose it because it interests me, and it's relatively easy (although it does take a lot of hard work) but in the whole perspective of life, when something like Tuesday happens where am I going to be, and how can I be of any help. And then I got to thinking, it would be really great if I could possess the skills to be a doctor. Like if something were to happen, I wouldn't just be sitting around helpless with the masses of other drones. But I could step forward and say.. hey.. I'm a doctor, do you want me to help? Ya know? But that also would require lots more schooling, and tons of classes that I'd probably fail, so.. we'll have to see. But it's nice to know that my dad would be fine with it. hahah.. Although he says he's told me so because he always told me I should be a pediatrician. He just doesn't want me to be an actress or a communications major or fat haha.. *translation* he doesn't want me to mooch off him the rest of his life.

But that was Tuesday... I also went to the dentist that day, and scheduled an appointment to pull out my wisdom teeth in December... scary! And then came home, watched more TV, and finally when I got sick of it, I made Beth come out with me. She came over, we chatted, looked at pictures, and moaned in our usual fashion. And then we ran to Costco to drop off my film before they close, and then went to In 'N' Out (*yumm...) Then Nicole called me on my cell just to chat, and didn't know that I was with Beth, and we talked and I relayed the conversation to Beth and we were all laughing super hard (almost as hard as that time in House, but not as much) while the police men in the next table looked at us funny thinking "how can these dumb girls be so cheery at a time like this" Oh well.. I'm used to people looking at me weird.. haha. uh oh.. is that a good thing? But Nicole and I talked for 50 minutes! (my mom is going to KILL me when she sees my cell phone bill this month!) but it was all worth it.

The next day I was supposed to hang out, but I think I just ended up sitting at home with nothing to do. Oh well.. it was nice to just chill. I went into the garage and looked through all my stuff and re-packed it to get ready for school. It was a good time. Thursday, I just chilled and packed as well. Packing is no fun, no fun. :P On Friday I was packing hard core because I wanted to go out that night. So I got a lot of my stuff packed up. Then Beth and Ryan came over to my house. Where I made them wait a little.. oops. We were also waiting for Nicole, who later called and asked where everyone was because she was at Beth's house. hahaha... so we waited for her, and then went to the Galleria (yay!) to eat. Mmmm.. Chick-fil-A and Mongolian BBQ. yummmmmm... but then after much indeciveness.. we decided to go see Fast and the Furious (didn't happen), I wanted to go the beach (didn't happen), we were going to go play cranium (didn't happen), so I think we sort of decided on going to Starbucks, but Ryan just drove until we ended up down by Cheesecake Factory and we went in to go hook up with Carrie and Manny. We had much indeciveness there as well (yes.. we're all lost souls).. talked in the foyer of the restaurant, talked in the parking lot, and then decided to go to get Boba. The weirdest thing though, I ran into Ernesto (one of my GAP managers) there who I just saw closing the GAP... interesting. We just chilled, talked, looked at pictures, and finally felt we should leave because the place was closed. Ryan, Beth and Nicole drove me back home, and then they left as well. Sadness, and I proceed to pack and also be ridiculed by my mother (as always) and stayed up alll night packing. sad. Finally everyone in the house woke up, I dealt with phone junk.. (I hate the phone company), and showered so we could go to Alhambra. We went to this restaurant which was a mix of all flairs of foods, but it was really gross and made my tummy hurt.. :( but we then went to the used car dealership and PICKED UP MY CAR! YAY!! My mom had already ordered me a 95 White Altima.. which I of course moaned and complained about. But it is a car, and I'm pretty gosh darn happy to have one that I can actually drive on the freeway. :) Although I do love my little red car. *sigh. Anyways.. after a long ordeal I finally got to drive home in my new car, blasting my awesome cd player. But it was a looong drive home from Alhambra taking all local streets because my mom was driving the third car (they bought for the guy who's living in our house (long story)). And my mom doesn't drive on the freeway. Eh.. oh well. That night went to this Japanese restaurant in Torrance with my mom, dad, Eric, my grandparents, Joan and Jeff-gu, I was pretty good. My grandparents were really happy though and seemed to have a good time and got up to toast to us. My grandparents are so great and so cute. :).. went home, and I crashed... but I did get to watch South Park before I fell asleep.

The next morning I got ready to go to school, picked up my pictures from Costco, ate my final meal at home..:( And said goodbye to my grandparents (although I'm sure I'll see them again before I leave) and was sad because I couldn't take my new car (*ooh.. I just thought I don't have a name for it. I should name it) because of minor details that are wrong with it. But hey.. you know mothers.. they always want their kids to be safe, even if their kids couldn't care less. So I loaded up the minivan, and my daddy drove me down to SD, where we then went out to eat at Rubio's and my daddy bought me some sheets (even though I didn't need them), and then grocery shopping, and then pack while he watched me unpack. Aw.. I love my dad.. *I'm such a daddy's girl! :P Then he left because he had to drive home and go to work the next day. Vivian came over.. she helped me unpack a little, and then we went over to her place where I spent the night. She's got a great apartment. :) Although it's a lot on the cold side. We ended up staying up until 6am talking! Crazyness... we hadn't seen each other in so long. We talked about life and boys, and how they both suck hard core. haha.. why so much misery eh? *crushes suck. *boys suck. *I'm going to die an old maid.. I'm convinced. We went to sleep finally and woke up around 1, got out of bed around 3 and went to the doctor to pick up Vivian's drugs. Then we went to Rubio's, and scarfed down my food before I went to the SDSU meeting with John, and then Kirby took me home. haha.. I love Kirby.. we're the most non-asian asians we know. hahah. jk. Anyways.. then Vivian came over, we cooked dinner, and chilled and watched Road Rules. It was a good time. I proceeded to try and unpack. Although I have no desk, or bookshelves, or dressers or once I unpack my stuff, there's really nowhere for it to go. :P And slept at 7am. (i'm psychotic)

Kathryn woke me up, and we went to campus to buy parking passes. Soooo excited! I own my very first parking pass! yay! Too bad it costs an arm and a leg. But it's pretty cool to have one. It's kinda like status, or I'm just excited I have a car... or.. I'm just a dork who's easily amused by little things. Anyways.. went home and realized I still have errands to run, so got Vivian to take me back to campus, and we walked around but campus was pretty dead by then. Sad. We went back to her house where we were supposed to go to Costco with her roommate, but he showed up late. So I took a Nice nap on her extraordinarily comfy bed. Woke up and realized I should go home, and met Vivian's super geeky roommate. And came home. Ate my leftovers, and then Jill, Amanda and Kristen came over! Yay!! I love my girls. We just chatted. I gave them the tour of my excellent abode and we sat engrossed in Big Brother, (*yay*.. I don't care what you say Nicole.. it's a good show dammit) and then in the Real World. Vivian came over with Costco pizza and watched tv with us. Then, Nicole happily interrupted that and we chatted about everything and nothing all at the same time. As well as enduring her cell phone problems.. haha... Then slowly all my friends left.. sad :( and I was left with Nicole. yikes. No really.. I love Nicole.. I don't know how we talk about nothing for such long periods of time though. haha.. but you should all thank her for bringing me out of my no-blog-funk. Although I am jealous because she got to talk to the International Secretary/Vice President. of Circle K.... (da da da daaa) Pete Holiday. *sigh..why can't I be so lucky. Oh oh oh.. I DID get to shake his hand though. Yes yes yes.. I shook hands with the Int'l Sec/VP... who want's to touch me? *pop quiz... what movie is that a reference to?.. Anyways.. I should really go. My roommate's coming home tomorrow and the house is a complete MESS... she's going to freak! yikes. oh yeah.. I should maybe sleep as well.. be normal for a little bit at a time. hey.. I'm working on it.

here's a blog to finish up my rememberance of Hawaii....

So after I met up with Brandy after her class was over, we found Jan and then decided to go eat at Cafe Lauffer. It was a nice little restaurant/cafe with pretty good food and reallly good desserts. I had the best chocolate eclair.. yum! Anyways.. we dropped Jan off, and then proceeded to pick up Krystal and Jamie. Then went to Ala Moana since they hadn't eaten yet. In my usual fashion we shopped first and then went to go eat. And then dropped Krystal off, and proceeded to downtown, the place I know oh-so-well, to pick up Brandy's mom. Then that night we thought we were going to go out and do something, but we didn't, so Lisa and Krystal and Brandy and I just ended up going out to Zippy's for dinner and our "girl's night out." It was pretty fun, we just talked and all of that. And then that night we tried to come up with Jeopardy questions for the MD&E thing.. but we were just way too tired so we fell asleep. But I did watch Liar Liar which is a funny funny movie.

"But my teacher says that beauty comes from the inside"
"That's just something ugly people say to make themselves feel better"
hahahahah.. that's so me.

Anyways.. Saturday I dragged Chris out of bed to go to a KC DCM at 8am... dang high schoolers, they're crazy. But we struggled through that and came back and napped or something. Then Brandy and I went to the Kapiolani Med Center project. We just did arts and crafts with the kids that were in the hospital. It was pretty fun, I made some new friends.. hahah.. We came back and I started packing/planning for MD&E. It was a good time. So later that night Krystal and I hosted MD&E "Night of Fun!" hahah.. we had pizza from Jacob's favorite: Pizza Hut, and then proceeded to tell them about membership drives, MRP, and other shtuff, and started to play a killer game of Jeopardy. It was good, I had kick-ass questions. :) Anyways.. then we just chilled, Randy came by and gave me presents.. awww.. how sweet.. macadamia nuts.. hahaha. And I stayed up and packed and finally collapsed at 7am. I was supposed to get up at 8am to pack, but slept until 9am. whoops. Chris and Jan came by to take us to breakfast, but I made them wait because I was packing.. :P So Brandy's mom finally came in, threw all my stuff in a box and said "go" That's what efficient moms are for eh? Chris, Jan, Brandy, Krystal and I met up with Manny to eat breakfast at the Old Pancake house. I had some super gross runny omlettes.. *sick! if you ever go there order the strawberry waffles.. yummm... Anyways.. we went back, picked up my bags, rushed to the airport, and I finally checked in. Got on the plane with no problems... and sat in the sucky row.. the back row where I can't lean back at all. But I guess it was alrite, the guy next to me what nice, we chatted a little. But mostly I slept.. I was soooo tired. It wasn't as bad as flying back from ICON though. :P I slept through the meal and the movie (Moulin Rouge) and just kinda did whatever the rest of the way. Our plane landed half a hour early and I picked up my luggage quickly (that's the one good thing about checking in late) and waited for my dad who didn't even bother to check whether or not my plane was coming in early. Anyways.. got home, chowed down, and then proceeded to be online.. hahah.. I'm such a chump. Then next day I just pretty much slept and watched tv... pretty lame eh?

okay.. so I think I'm kinda scared because I'm "illegally" using the school computer in the library to do this. But I have an hour to kill until Brandy gets out of class. But anyways.. I think I've found where all the hot guys are in Hawaii. Annnyways.. this is what I did yesterday.

Thursday was an okay day. At 11:30 Manny and Chris and Jacob came to pick me up so that we could go to the Kaneohe meeting. But dude.. I was kinda nervous before hand because I was supposed to make a "presentation/speech" on why they should start a Circle K. But I think for me that it just turned into a what is Circle K all about. Which is dumb because that's what I always talk about so that's what I know. But it's not what they wanted to here. Thank god that Manny was there to give them the Kiwanian perspective of what Circle K is. That's the stuff they wanted to hear. Shoot. Well I guess I know for next time eh? But yeah.. so after that we went to La Gelateria for Sorbet and Gelato. That place is sooo good. yum! And then I came home, wasted more hours of my life watching more tv, and writing more postcards. hahhah.. Oh and I watched the MTV VMA's. *NSYNC is so cute I can barely stand it. Nicole's right... they're not a boy band, they're a MAN BAND. hahaha.. Anyways.. Then I just watched that all afternoon, ate dinner cooked by Brandy and her sis Jamie. The chicken was really good. And then I went out with Chris, Jan, Krystal and Joel to Waikiki. WHICH, is where all the hot boys are. But I think that's just because of the type of boys that I mostly like, *the abercrombie and fitch type .. yes I'm a nerd* are mostly tourists, and that's why they're all at Waikiki, or at the beach 24/7. But that was the largest group of hot guys I've seen in a collective. There are also a lot of freaky people too though. As we were leaving we walked by this guy who was all like "Hey Beautiful.. Love you" to Krystal. And we saw prostitutes. hahah.. they looked like your average skanks in TJ club clothes. hahah. We went to the Duty Free Shopping center and then to the International Market place where I did successfully bargain for my items. I was quite proud of myself. hahah.. I guess that trip to Taiwan did do me some good. (jk) Anyways..that was that, chatted a little bit with Brandy before I went to bed, and of course watched my daily dose of re-runs. Last night it was Saved by the Bell: The College Years. hahah. We have Brandy's mom's car today, and Bran only has one class.. oooh the fun we will have. hahah..

Oh my. I don't even really know what I'm doing up at this hour. It all started off as Circle K work, but then transformed into much more, and now is this. Yikes.. I've totally messed up my body's ability to tell time. Hopefully I can fix it before I go back to school with my 8am classes! But lately my life has seemed like a blur. But I'll try and sharpen it as much as I can for you.

umm.. Friday the 31st of August... I went out to eat sorbet and gelato with Brandy and her mom, and also Mc D's. It was all oh so good. Yum. And then that night, like true college students, we had a CKI social at Pizza Hut. BUT the reason we had it at PH was because Jacob works there and we got free food. Get it now? hahah.. Oh.. so the funniest quote ever came out of that night. I was rolling on the floor trying not to choke on my pizza:

(@ Pizza Hut during dinner)
Chris: mm.. The garlic bread is pretty good here. I've never eaten it before.
Chrissy: What?! Really? Dang, then what do you eat when you come here?
Chris: ummm... Pizza?

umm. maybe it's not so funny in words, but it was so hilarious. Maybe it was those you have to be there kinds of things. Then in that case, you missed out.. stby. Anyways.. then afterwards I think we wanted to catch a movie but it was way too late, so we went back to Brandy's, played Harry Potter and Life and all that, and just socialized. It was all very late when everyone left and I finally got some shut eye.

The next day I traveled to where all the Hawaiians take their CKI visitors. It the biggest tourist trap on the island. PCC- Polynesian Culture Center. While it sounds all fine and dandy, the secret behind it is that it's actually set up by the mormons to display the Polynesian culture. They put the students who attend BYU Hawaii work there, and by spending money there they say you're "helping to contribute to the education of some who otherwise wouldn't get one" or some mumbo jumbo like that. That's great and all but they make so much bank there.. those pictures that they take for you (like the ones off the rides like Splah Mountain) are $25 for the first ond and $15 for any others thereafter. And the tickets for non-Hawaiians are soo expensive, and the Hawaiian's only Annual Passes are only $16! But I should stop complaining because it is a great place, and I'm sure everyone works real hard there. Honestly I had a great time. They don't have rides (ooh.. except for the canoe tour with that one cute canoe guy) but lots of really interesting and funny shows. I had a great time, and it was cool just to run around like an idiot. Afterwards went to Zippy's for another late dinner, and back to Brandy's house do socialize. Except this time all but a few people were falling asleep in their seats while the others kept on socializing. It was a pretty amusing sight to watch. I chatted and bonded with Krystal, one cool chick. We talked a lot about our opinions of different matters and really clicked. I guess that was what these two weeks was supposed to be about eh?

The next day we were sooooooo tired from the night before we just mulled around all day. Chris, Krystal and I ran my errands.. ahha, and ate Liliha Korean BBQ take-out that was soo good and watched the UH convention videos. That night we went to the PET project at Manny's house. *Who by the way has the best house ever. It's near the top of this mountain and has the most spectacular view, and has the best PORCH (i refuse to call it a Lanai) to enjoy it from. It's a mega-bachelor pad. But anyways.. did that.. and then went to Safeway to buy food for my DCM and board training. And then .. oops.. didn't "just" go to Safeway, but went to Zippy's afterwards for food. But interesting about that night was that I found the Safeway guy kinda fliriting with me, and me kinda flirting back. That's what the club says at least.. but this is the way I see it. I have such a low self esteem about myself that I freak out when any guy starts talking to me for no good reason because I think that no guy could be attracted to a troll like me. So this guy in the soda aisle asks me if I really go to UCSD (I was wearing my sweater) and we talk about the letter grade/p/np system (dumb I know) and later I ask him where the breads are and he asks if I want him to take me there. Hhaha.. at this point I was like.. ummm.. oooookay. But of course I had my back up of the UH club and stopped along the meat aisles to complain about the priceyness of EVERYTHING in that store. And he eventually got bored and left. So we shoped peacefully, and when we went to go checkout *poof* he was bagging my groceries. hmm.. so he's talking to me, asking me if I'm visiting or here to stay, while all the UH people are snickering, and he asks to see my license, and I dunno if I'm trying to be cute, or trying to get his attention because I know I can, but I dunno... whatever. Anyways.. I left there, and that's the end of my story. *sigh... This is my theory. You just have to pretend you're from somewhere else and you'll attract guys who are sick of all the girls in their state. haha. So when I go back to California, I'm going to pretend I'm from Hawaii.. haha. yeah right.. it wouldn't work. I dunno.. like.. it's weird to say that some guy was fliriting with me because I don't think it would be possible in a million years that a decent looking guy would initiate a conversation with me (*definitely better than the Circuit City incident). But it does feel nice to have that attention from someone who's not a freak or pervert or dirty old man, and know that someone out there actually thinks you're okay looking.. So.. I dunno.. it's confusing.. phew.. good thing I usually never have to deal with it. *sigh.. I'm a pathetic freak. why can't cute guys in cali talk to me.. *sigh, stb me Anyways.

The next day was my DCM.. and that morning was trauma, hectic, and yikes.. that makes no sense, but that's how my morning was. Early wake up, finishing my papers, not being picked up, making copies, being late, and then leading a DCM and a board training session that it seems like NOBODY cares or wants to be there... yuck. In the end it was all kind of frustrating, but hey.. at least it's over. That night Krystal and I just ate Hibachi with Brandy's family. And afterwards we roasted marshmallows with her little cousins and played Harry Potter.. it was a blast.

Tuesday was soo boring. I just kinda chilled... and watched tv. For like 5 hours. But I did get to watch lots of interesting re-runs. Finally at 6pm I was rescued. We went to the Pearl Harbor mtg, and then to Anna Miller's for dinner. I got $1.28 Strawberry Pie. Yum.

Wednesday.. haah.. was a little more fun. I got to take out Brandy's mom's car. I was going to sit with Brandy all day, but after deciding that was was worse than sitting at home and watching 5 hours of TV, I decided to go explore Oahu on my own. Nonetheless I got super lost, but did manage to find my way home from UH which I was totally proud of myself. Talk to Brandy's uncle for a bit, asked him for directions, and took a nap. Then talked to Chris and Krystal and Brandy and Jacob, and finally decided to go to the beach by myself (wow!) Went to Ala Moana Beach where it was okay. the sand was kinda rocky, and the water wasn't completely clear once I swan out into it, but it was quite nice. Swam a little, and then laid out a little.. but bright me, decided to lay out at 12noon. Yes, I'm retarded. I was only there for like 20 minutes total, so not too bad. Went back, thought I was going out to lunch, didn't. And chilled... then went to go pick up Brandy, got lost in downtown. Then decided to pick up her mom first then, only to get confused and having to drive in circles mulitple times due to one way streets. I HATE ONE WAY STREETS. After half a hour, I finally figured out where Brandy's mom works, but she had already left because someone picked her up, and no one told me. grr.. But that's okay. Went to go pick up Brandy, also met up with Krystal, and found Manny on the way. It's a regular party. Was going to do something with CKI folks, but everyone was butt tired, so was going to order pizza, but went out to La Pietro's with Brandy's family instead. It was good, and also ate Bubbie's homemade ice cream. Which actually was kinda little dirty store because all their names for their desserts had sexual connotations, and their sloagan was "shouldn't you be licking something?" haha.. amusing. Rock would love that place. Came home, attempted and failed to learn how to french braid, and tried to do my MD&E stuff, but didn't get to that either. eh.. I have until Saturday. But I'm kinda nervous because I have to make a "presentation" tomorrow on why Kaneohe should start a Circle K. Yikes... what am I supposed to say! pssht.. well I'll go worry about it in my dreams, because I'm sooooo tired I can't stand it. blah.. that's how I feel.
