pete thurston rules! he is rockstar frequenting on 91x.

check out his big fish review.

and his funny funny christmas song.

pete thurston is my hero.

a pete joke:
vivian: ewan mcgregor is so hot
pete: so me and a guy name mcgregor?

hahahah.. well, i thought it was funny. maybe ya just had to be there.

i got the bright idea to look in my old old cell phone for some of my old numbers and ta-da!!! there they were. so if i had your number in my cell pre-july, then whoo hoo, i have found it again. (i feel a little stupid to all the people i sent christmas cards to asking for their number because i just told them i lost it. i'm gonna call them, and they're going to be like.. uhh.. i thought you lost my number, i thought i got rid of you for good.) but i spent a good 10-20 minutes entering numbers into my phone again, it felt great.

i feel semi-complete now.

i am SO bored right now. i'm at work and there's barely anything to do because most of Nissan is off, so there's not much computer fixin to be done, thus not much for me to do. boo. although when i have lots of work to do, i hate it because i'd rather be doing nothing at all, so i won't win either way.

i forgot to say also that i cut my hair. not real big news, i only cut off three inches or so, a lot of people didn't even notice or just didn't care, so not that anyone who reads this didn't alredy know/or cares, but i just wanted to write it for myself so that when i come back and read these i can be like.. aww.. i remember when i cut my hair that one christmas.

i also bought myself another scarf last night. yay... it's got rainbowed circles on it. it's way cute. and it was way on sale, plus my discount, so that makes me real happy. it's a nice scarf too, i already got complimented on it today :) except that everyone thinks i'm sick because i'm all wrapped up in my scarf... it's just cute people.

tomorrow it's new year's eve and i don't really have plans. i can't decide whether i want to be a homebody or go out. i don't want to hassle with crowds, but i also don't want to be lame. hmm.. conflicted.

*disclaimer: whineyness ahead.. self-wallowing pity - read at your own discretion*

also.. feeling real lame because my BA is getting me nowhere and i almost wonder why i even went to college. because i'm still working a temp job and at the gap and i could have done that in high school. i got a little excited about this assistant editor position that a friend referred me for, but they already filled it, plus he asked if i could do all these things that i couldn't.. so basically i'm unqualifed for anything. unlike most people i'm not really great at one (or more) things, i'm just mediocre at a lot of things. which doesn't really get me anywhere because although "fast learner" and "versatile" may sound like good traits, i've come to find that you need to have experience to get a job, but i can't get experience without a job, so pretty much i'm s.o.l. and it's stupid because i'm sure i'm not trying as hard as those other people who have jobs tried.. and maybe that's my other problem. that i half-ass everything. like in school when i would procrastinate like no other, and just skate through class and usually get B's... i always thought.. hey with a little bit of effort i bet i could get an A.. but i never did. it's easy to say that you're going to do better and not be such a lame-o slacker, but i have no drive or motivation anymore. it's almost like i'm quitting smoking and i keep telling myself.. tomorrow i'm gonna quit. tomorrow i'm going to not be a slacker. and then the day after will become the new tomorrow because tomorrow will be today. it's a sadistic cycle. i always thought i was going to have such a promising life... but i'll probably just end up one of those 50 year olds that works at ralphs. NOT that there is much wrong with that, it's just not what i (or probably my parents) pictured for myself. or maybe i'll eventually become a manager at the gap. does anyone aspire to do that? maybe i should just go to taiwan and teach english, or get some crappy ass job that i'm gonna hate, because that's life right? you do what you have to do, not what you want to. that sucks.

i really am too tired to blog, but i feel like i should do it now, rather than put it off and do a marathon post to be haranged about... on top of my unfunny, vulgar, alcoholic, mean-drunkeness tendencies everyone already says i have. what do they know?

well i can't believe christmas and the weekend are over already. it almost feels like it's time to go back to normal life, but then i feel like i didn't to much anyways.. like there is no hoopla to begin with, so what do i go back to? anyways... friday i got off my temp job early (yay my boss!) and rested at home, ran errands and then went to do a night shift at the gap. got off a little early from that and stopped by benji's surprise housewarming party to drop off his gift, and then off to pick up beth and sakura for the concepcion after christmas extravanganza. we entered the house to find a large group and a band rockin out in the living room, so after staring back at the people giving us funny looks like we snuck into some private concert, so went around back to find a very "happy" nicole :) we ate lots of good food, drank a bit, chit chatted, and i am the speed toe champion - the BEST new game :) i beat out all the boys that were "with the band" the girls stayed behind, played tetris, watched dane cook, sex in the city and slept. i got to sleep on the wonder that is nicole's bed (are you listening boys?). the next morning we drove back home (after freaking beth made me turn around to get her beloved pillow) and i came home, ate lunch and went back to bed. only to awake to sakura calling me telling me she's going to be at my house in 45 minutes for jill's birthday party. ate dinner and got ready and off we go. (eat, drink, sleep, eat, sleep, eat... recognize a pattern?)

we went to the standard, a very swanky and expensive hotel with a roof-top bar. apparently it's the hotel where the sex in the city girls stay when they frequent los angeles. it was a $20 cover, followed by $90 on drinks, ice cream and american spirits + tip (not all for me), and fun card games and snacks in the room. the highlights of the rooftop bar was, of course, the ambiance and location, the pool, the waterbed domes, the lounge areas, the fun dancing guy who got me, jill and sakura to dance in order to ask us "who our gay friend was" (jimmy.. haha), and the company (aww...). the rooms itself were pretty cool, i'd say the "porn shower" was the best though. it was like most hotel rooms, except the wall between the shower and the rest of the room was made of glass. sexy. that must be quite a show. at least the curtain wasn't see through so people could at least pee in private. here are some pictures i stole... :) they're really cool though.

*images taken by beth fujiura*

sakura drove me, sukhyung and jimmy home (thanks sakura!) so i could get back to work at the gap. good times. at least it wasn't at 6am today. watched tv tonight... do you know i had a dream the other day about using the tivo my sister promised me? the sole purpose of that dream was to relish in how great it was to have and use tivo. my mother thinks i'm crazy.

my cousin's baby!!! so darling.

merry christmas
merry christmas
merry christmas and happy holidays

*nsync is so wise.

christmas is fun. although our family didn't put up a tree again this year, i think this is one of the first really good christmas' we've had in awhile. this year, i didn't feel as helpless getting christmas presents because i have the money to back up my credit card charging. i finished most of my present shopping already, but picked up a few more last minute gifts because my sister said she got me mulitple gifts, and i felt bad because i had only gotten her one. so i went to go get jeff-gu another gift, and my sister two more gifts and ended up finding something else for my dad too. but it was fun.. i came home to wrap more presents and then clean a little bit for christmas eve dinner.

i left work early (shh.. don't tell my boss) to go get those gifts, but it's okay.. cuz my computer was freaking out and there wasn't much to do anyways. i was SO tired already because i didn't get out of the gap until midnight the day before and stayed up late to wrap presents.

my dad: look! i bought christmas presents, yours is the biggest one!!
me: *covers eyes* i don't want to see it!!! put it away!!!
my dad: but you need to wrap it!
me: i'm not gonna wrap my own present!!
my dad: oh okay.

silly daddy. my sister came home early to wrap her presents then we headed to the mall to do more last minute shopping, and early returns :) and to the wherehouse to rent movies cuz i needed to use up my gift card. legally blonde 2 sucks, freaky friday is pretty good, and i'm waiting for my sister to come back so we can watch how to deal. it was super fun, we ate hot pot for dinner and watched movies and then opened presents.... it was a really fun time :) hope everyone has a great christmas as well.

go check out pete thurston :) he did an interview with 91x (like kroq in san diego.. but not as good) and it was really cool. he's the shizzle... pete sang, and this girl called in and said how great he was, plus they talk some about jason mraz in his interview, so go check out the stories he has to tell. and then he also did a musical review of lord of the rings, which was apparently great. i didn't understand much, probably because i haven't seen any of the movies.. but it'll make you lotr lovers out there smile.

the hottness that is pete thurston

pete sings great, plays a mean guitar and is a great guy. love him. let him rock your body.

sorry it's been so long since i blogged. i kept wanting to blog, but when it actually came down to do it i was too tired or didn't feel like it anymore :P. not that any of you care- all three of you. i did get hounded by manny's infamous "journal nazi" but when i told him that it was sweet that he cared, he told me not to put words in his mouth. punkass.

i was going to put a happy bday message for my mom... but i forgot, and now it's not worth is because her bday has passed and she doesn't read this thing anyways (thank god). but her birthday was last friday for all of you to know (dec 19) send lots of money and gifts to my house next year.. i'll make sure she gets it :) i bought her her favorite kind of cake from this japanese bakery called bon jour (go figure).. but it's this really good coffee cake. expensive too.. $25. but it's my mommy right? joan and jeff-gu came back home and we (plus my mom's friends the kuo's) went to go eat at this chinese vegetarian restaurant "house of vege" sounds enticing huh? it's alright, and it's a place where my mom can eat everything.. so it's her birthday.. whatever she wants. good thing i had a big lunch though. we had our holiday potluck and gift exchange at work. it was good.. did even less work than usual (if that's possible) :P and ate lots of food. speaking of which, this temp job is bad for me.. i sit on my butt all day and just eat food the everyone brings in.. i had six donuts last week.. i'm going to have a bus driver booty soon. really really really need to utilize that gym membership next year... i would say that would be my new year's resolution.. but who keeps those things? no one.. :P

in other exciting news... yay!!! my cousin had her baby, lily anna wong (aww.. how pretty), last friday (same bday as my mom!). i'm sure she's cute as heck, i wish i could see her. maybe if i move to new york :P i wish i could be the cool aunt and buy her lots of stuff.. i just may be.. we'll see. baby gap!!

i got my dawson's creek season 2 dvd that i ordered from amazon.com.. YAY!!!!!! i haven't had time to watch it.. but knowing that i have it makes me tingle all over. the box is so gorgeous. :P and plus its the season where dawson and joey are together... aww... the good episodes. the only ones that beat that are the episodes with chad michael murray. hott. i long for the day that i just hole up in my room, and watch my felicity and dawson dvd's. hell yes. plus sex in the city season 5 is coming out soon. shibby. although sex in the city has warped my brain. i was at the sharper image with vivian and we were "testing out" the massage chairs and there was a table full on "interesting" massagers.. hahaha.. vivian told me that's when we know when we watch too much sitc. :P but i love it.

wednesday i went to go see rent with nicole. i LOVE LOVE LURVE rent. i wasn't sure about this cast... but it was awesome. and i have a new boyfriend... dan domenech. he was just in the swing and also "paul" but he sang really really well and was quite the cutie. it was my fourth and half time seeing it and everytime is always great. i got all the tinglies and mouthed along to all the songs (i'm such a geek). the guy who played collins was AWESOME. he made nicole bawl. it was also funny because 'mark' reminded us of joe bussiere (too bad beth didn't come) and 'angel' reminded us of pic.. interesting.. haha.. it was very spur of the moment because i had forgotten it was playing in la again (i had heard numerous commercials on the radio at work, but since them forgot) but it was advertised on my ticketmaster email that i get. so i looked it up and it was playing at the wilshire and the grove in anaheim- but the grove was way too f'in expensive, so the wilshire it was. but tuesday and wedneday were the only days that we were available.. especially due to our brokeness. but the RADDEST part is that me and nicole got rush tickets. yay!!! i actually got rush tickets... i worked through lunch and left work early, drove like a semi-maniac up there but wasted 20 minutes trying to find parking. la is so confusing! but we got the second to last two rush tickets.. (i would have cried if i had just missed it... because of freaking parking). we got number 40 and 41 out of 42. phew... we sat in the second row :) and on the edge.. but i think i prefered it that way. not as much turning my head from right to left. too bad i wasn't sitting on the right side though.. near my new bf. :P but it was excellent.. i think rent will always be my favorite.. for a myriad of reasons, but also because it rocks. thanks nicole for indulging with me. we also had dinner at the red lobster down the street. their biscuits rock my world. yum.

it did make me want to go into theatre even more.. but those are always pipe dreams... we'll see. but nicole and i did come up with a plan that i was going to up with and idea, she was going to write the show and i proofread and produce and direct, and we both star in it. haha... sounds good to me.

saturday i finally got invited to beth and ryan's infamous south bay/torrance party. now i count as a "torrance person" i guess. or maybe they just invited me so i could give a jill a ride and they just wanted her there. but in any case.. it was fun. i got to play mario double dash.. and i saw a people i went to middle school with that i hadn't seen in awhile. it was trippy ... but still fun. i didn't feel as out of place as i thought i might have, and especially because there wasn't a huge amount of people there.. but i still managed to blend in. it was good to see them again... maybe it will be more frequently in the future. we too (like every other party out there) had the white elephant gift exchange. it was pretty cool and not too ruthless. lots of corroborating among the couples (freaking couples)... and ryan had no faith in my present giving skills just because i brought in a gap bag... (no time to wrap) but he ended up with the cranium cosmo due to his wonderful girlfriend beth. shame on you ryan. i am a great present giver dammit. i ended up with some hot cocoa mix that i gave to mike and traded the spongebob magnets for this space pen with jason (ryan's brother) who is like the nicest person in the world. he is the best... thanks so much for trading with me. he traded because he said that "she seems to want the pen a lot more than i do" and i know he wanted that pen a lot. how nice is that. thanks to jason.. he's going to have great present karma and i'll make it up to him :)

other than that i just worked lots.. temp job, gap. it's been busy busy at the mall with lines going to the fitting rooms or to the front door, depending on which way they swing. it's been alright, except for some of the attitude i get... because i can fix it right? i'm sorry that it's christmas and there are a million people just like you who want to buy presents and have boxes too... what would you like me to do about it? grr.. but i do like being at the register better than out on the floor, so that works to my advantage. except i was feeling pretty shitty on sunday because i got cheated and tricked and i'm supposed to be smarter than that. i guess i'm not, but my manager made me feel a little better telling me that everyone falls victim to it. but i still feel like i should be better than that. boo. next time. it rolled over and i still have this scared sense over me like i'm constantly worried that i'm going to mess up again.. but i just gotta get over it. at least it's not as bad as that time the lady cussed me out and i went to the back and cried. maybe i have tougher skin.. oh well. at least i didn't get in a lot of trouble. :( i also love how people come up and complain about how they're so tired and how they think that i should feel sorry for them. cuz i haven't been here since 7am (and for the last few days) at the hub of craziness in the mall. right. i mean.. i know it's my job and everything, so that's why i smile and say i'm doing great, but it's just funny how sometimes people just don't think. but i really do love the people who feel sorry for us and aren't demanding but just nice and ask us how we're doing. some lady even offered me $4 "for my christmas" what a nice lady. unfortunately i couldn't accept it, but she made me happy again. people like that make it bearable.

vivian called me and wanted to meet up because she was in the area, so we had cheesecake factory (yum) and then went back and braved the mall and i actually got most of my christmas shopping done (all but 1.5 presents). yay. :) now i just have to wrap them. haha.. you'll be getting your presents in a few weeks. :P i worked saturday, sunday, yesterday and tonight, and then friday night. (in addition to the temp job of course). thanks. i hope i don't get sick again. come visit me.. it'll make my day... we'll go have dairy queen.

one last thing (congrats if you made it all the way through!!) i saw this and thought it was pretty interesting. i know nicole reads wilwheaton.net a lot, so she'll enjoy this if she hasn't already heard (which i'm sure she has).. but for the rest of you to know. i had the hugest crush on him as wesley crusher (haha.. how appropriate). what a cutie:

"Congratulations to Wil Wheaton who recently joined the ranks of bloggers-turned-authors with a fancy three-book deal. Folks, don't get left out, learn How To Get A Book Deal With Your Blog. It's all good."

we had our best loss yet tonight :P 9-1. not too shabby. it would have been like 5-1 or 6-1 except for all the runs i gave up in the second to last inning due to my awful pitching. i'm sorry team.

question.. how come everytime i play on a team with ryan skophammer i get hurt. lssp- sprained my ankle, and then knocked over by some very large man. softball, i've gotten knocked down, fallen over and most recently today i got beaned by the very first hitter at the top of the game. she hit it right to me and i turn and it hit me real hard right on my right shoulder, my pitching arm. i just let the ball drop and paul or mike (i wasn't paying attention anymore) scrambled to get it why i silently moaned. they let me have a few practice pitches and they were pretty concerned and maybe took it a little easier because they were scared of hitting me (and i ducked everytime someone hit the ball after that). my shoulder is a bit sore, but i'm alright, no broken bones. we'll see tomorrow. i'm glad at least it didn't hit me in the face, and also that i was wearing my sweatshirt for that extra padding. but definitely definitely glad it didn't hit me in the face.. i don't know if i would have recovered from that, she hit it really hard. but everyone was worried and asking me if i was okay, and ryan just turns around and says, "yea she's fine.. jean's a tank." uhhh.. thanks ryan? hahaha

the BEST part was that maritza, norma and christine came down from riverside to be extra cheerleaders for our team!! they brought their "desert oasis" (but really cal poly pomona) pom poms and cheered for us, waved their pom poms and asses and made the other team jealous. :) i pitched the best when they were cheering for me. they made me smile. :) thanks girls!!! (maritza made me write that.. really i thought they were cki losers with no life... KIDDING). thanks for coming girls.. it means the world to us.. that we have supporters even if we suck. now we expect you at every game. see you there. thank you sakura for coming too. no oranges this time though. :P

and also.

happy birthday philippa!!!

you rule.

my feet are t-i-r-e-d.

i just worked 8 hours (plus 1 hour lunch) at the gap starting at 6:45am this morning. we opened at 9am, so i spend 2 hours and 15 minutes cleaning the fitting room and stocking the cashwrap. it really wasn't too bad and that's 2 hours and 15 minutes that i don't have to spend running around like a maniac trying to help people. it's a little bit of quiet time, and i can't really complain because there was a whole mess of people who had to be there at 5am to process shipment and change the displays. but i also didn't do much running around either, i trying to organize the sale racks and basically just rang people up all, which is my favorite place to be, so it's okay. but my feet still hurt.

the weekend is almost over and i'm sad, but this week there's two potlucks at my two jobs so it'll be fun. also dawson's creek season 2 comes out this tuesday.. excited i am so very much. :) i love dawson's creek, i don't care what you think. i've spent a good lot of time this weekend watching my felicity dvd's.. i think i watched like 6 or 7 episodes :) and even got my mom into a little bit of it. hehe. as i've been getting older we do a lot less of the family stuff that we used to do a lot when i was little, but tv is something that links we do as a family (sad i know.) but it's nice to see my parents watching tv together and laughing together instead of arguing all the time. it's a happy time and place.

i still have some christmas shopping to do, except i hate going to the mall if i don't have to work, and i hate staying at the mall longer when i am working because i just want to go home, and don't want to go shopping on my lunch break because my feet are too tired.. so i'm just going to have to suck it up and find a time to do it. i still don't really feel christmas-y yet even though it like less than 2 weeks away. maybe because we haven't put our tree up ... but in the piles of crap that make up my house where would it go? i did buy a few gifts today, so i feel productive enough.

we have a softball game later tonight (i think, if it doesn't start raining again). wish us luck!!! (i guess just hope that the 20 run mercy rule doesn't go into effect because i think we've given up hope of beating any other team. sad.)

i thought it was cute, very gay, but still cute.


cuddle and a kiss on the forehead - you like to be
close to your special someone and feel warm,
comfortable, and needed


What Sign of Affection Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

today is friday. i would like nothing better than to just go the heck home. today and yesterday i have been quite bored and just want to go home and sleep... or at least be able to come to work in my fleece pants. it gets progressively harder and harder to find the motivation to get out of bed... so i begin to think that i'll never be able to handle a real job. i'd like to think that if i loved my job and cared about it, it wouldn't be so hard. but that's something i won't know for right now.

i found a job opening in san diego, and considered applying. i'm a little bit freaked about the prospect of moving back, which sounds weird after all the times i whine and complain about missing san diego, but it's different now. i still have a few friends left in san diego, but life is different and they all have different friends and people they hang out with, i have a fear that i would be too lonely down in sd. my life in la is definitely different than my life in san diego. and my san diego life was all because i was still in school, i wonder what it would be like without the preimposed college lifestyle.

i have to work at el gap-o tonight, i wish i could just go home and sleep. sleep is glorious. i miss my bed.

dang it.. one last post.

i LOOOOOVE this tristan prettyman & jason mraz song. i listen to it like a fiend over and over and over again.
it is the best.


Shy that way

you know your stunning
absolutely stunning
and I'm running always running

and now I'm crying
you know only cause I'm caring
and if you were more daring maybe you'd stop staring
and come over and talk to me
and tell me about how you've been waiting patiently
and how you tried but I just turned away
and I'll say, "yeah well you know, I'm shy that way"

shy that way
shy that way
maybe I'm shy that way

you know she's stunning
she's absolutely stunning
but she's always running
but ill catch up to her...

the way she keeps her distance
keepin my interest
so ill keep it consistent

maybe someday, someway, somehow, sometime
we'll get together and we'll break it down
and I'll ask, "why you gotta be so shy, why you gotta be that way?"
well maybe, baby, I like it that way

shy that way
maybe I, like it shy that way
maybe I love you so shy that way

Ok, I'm shy that way...

there's always too much talking
and I wanna just keep walking
and I keep staring, baby, keep staring
though I may not know the right things to say
I'll get it out to you one day

shy that way
shy that way

do you like it? do you like it when I'm shy
yes I like it, yes I like it, when your shy

shy that way

i never posted this, but i meant to. beth is the best. this is the AWESOME present she MADE me. shot glasses with my name on it (now my parents think i'm a raging alcoholic... thanks beth). but they're SO cool.
beth is neat.

*gasp.. i'm turning into pete... i just posted 3 times in one day. what is wrong with me! somebody stop me!

tonight was fun. we cancelled practice and beth and i hung out, ate dinner, talked about how pathetically tragic people are, letting me laugh at myself, a lot. and then i came home and watched a police chase with my daddy. too bad the guy just gave up after driving on his rims for 20 minutes. he should have at least made a run for it. make it exciting, make those cops work for their money. hahaha.. what a loser. i love police chases... can't beat la for that!

i don't really feel like writing, but i want to blog, so here goes. haah. last thursday i went with ann and william to the anaheim hob and saw jc chasez in concert. oh yea baby. it was really really good. aside from the popstar trying to be a hardcore rocker it was fun. some things here and there made me laugh, but i loved it all anyways. the funniest thing was when jc first came out on stage and he swung the microphone out and pulled it back real quick (trying to look superstar cool) and he smacked himself in the mouth. me and ann busted up laughing. of course i felt bad, but it was hilarious. i was laughing through the whole first song. the songs were different, dancey, he changed outfits a few times and had lots of scantily clad back up dancer girls. and wade robson was there.. haha.. what a cutie. it's just interesting that it was very sexual at some times, and there's all these 14 year old girls screaming and what not.. it was like.. "uhh.. sure" but i really enjoyed it, and he is sexxxy :) he sings well, and dances well and is just hunky dory. tony lucca opened for him, and that was really cool too :) a different kind of show, but good.

saturday i went to stup's wedding!! it was sooo beautiful, and amanda looked absolutely gorgeous. :) it was good to see the girls again of course.

stup's hair was so pretty!!!

sunday i went to kristin's movie shoot (the director from the play i worked on), that was fun too. i spent most of the weekend on the couch or in bed because i had a nasty case of the flu. i didn't know quite what it was but i was miserable... and i watched the news the other day and i had all the symptoms. sunday night/monday morning i slept for 16 hours. i feel better now, it seems almost like i didn't even have it because i got better so quickly... but that's a good thing, so i shouldn't jinx myself. maybe i just have a strong immune system. or at least strong recovery system. or just lots and lots of sleep is the key. but i've also noticed that this week, even though i've been going to sleep pretty late i'm still really well rested and not really that tired :) maybe that's the trick, get lots of rest during the weekend.

TooMuchPete: I'm coming in January... for real this time...
TooMuchPete: The money is all set aside
jeanyah: SERIOUS??!!!!!!
jeanyah: YAY!!!
TooMuchPete: Yeah... manny hooked me up with a side project that actually netted me some $$$.
jeanyah: i have the biggest grin on my face
jeanyah: you don't even know
jeanyah: yay for manny!
TooMuchPete: So I just want y'all to know that I worked 16 hours the week before dead week just to see you crazy people who make fun of my white boy dancing.
jeanyah: YOU ARE THE BEST!
jeanyah: we're going to have the schools, he's really coming to see me, er.. us. jk. we're also going to take him to drink and dance... i hope he practicesgreatest time ever
TooMuchPete: Hahaha... now don't get carried away.
TooMuchPete: You're going to inflate my modest ego if you're not careful.


i am SO excited that pete is FINALLY coming to california. i don't know what exactly it is, but it will be a banging good time. hehe.. even if he says he's coming to visit law before then. :) i can send him my darren's dance moves if he wants :) YAY... PETE HOLIDAY IS COMING TO CALIFORNIA!!!!

a whole work day, two naps, a lunch with my mommy, a blog, eleven emails, twenty websites read, two online gifts, 1 yahoo game and seven im conversations later the dsl is back on for the network.

i'm going to go home in nine minutes and have 5 days of work to do. oh yea.

i'm excited for average joe tonight :) she dresses up in a fat suit and watches the hidden cameras to see them talk smack about her "cousin" and then takes it off in front of them later after she says that she's heard everything. it's going to be great, they're going to wet their pants.

i'm here at work and one of the networks is down, so i can't do any work at all. i have just sit here idly and wait for it to be back up, if at all. last time i sat here for four hours until i went home. right now i am sitting here wishing that i could go home and sleep in my warm comfy bed. boo. i am also trying very hard to not fall asleep at my desk. the dsl is down on one system, but thank god it's still working on the other, so at least i have something to do, or i would possibly have cried.

i can't sleep in on weekends, because then i can't go to bed in time to wake up on monday mornings. no wonder they're the worst. i can't hack this working thing. 8-5, 5 days a week. i miss sleeping in, i miss my soap operas. i need to get a job like khay seng's- working a casino from 8pm-6am. or maybe i'll go process mail at the post office. argh... i mean i guess it would be different if it was a job i enjoyed, or even a "real" job, but it's neither. and i have to stare at computer screens all day long, now my eyes are burning, i seriously think i'm going to go blind.

sorry about all the whining, i super cranky and even more bored than usual.. and i didn't think it was possible. this weekend was cool. aside from the massive amounts of food i loaded into my loaded into my body and now none of my pants with fit :P friday and saturday i worked my oh so fun retail job. it's cool i guess, because i'm making money, but it does definitely suck that you have to go to work when your family is on holiday and going out places and what not. plus standing for many many hours in uncomfortable shoes yields not only blisters, but lots of pain. it's alright to be back at the gap though, like it's definitely different than working my computer job all day. i like the human interaction, i really wish i could work at disneyland though. too bad it ain't closer.

friday night i got to hang out with beth and she gave me another birthday gift (she made yummy yummy brownie cake. mushy and fudgey just the way it should be) but it's the coolest. she got me candy and care bear socks. when i first saw the socks in the bag i warned her that if it was some cruel joke and they were toe socks that i'd smack her with them. but they weren't :) plus she gave me a set of four double shot glasses that she personalized!! one for each letter of my name and cute little designs. they're soooooooooo great. THANKS BETH.. YOU ROCK MY NEW SOCKS OFF!! i'm going to drink from my shot glasses, wearing my new socks, while eating candy and watching felicity - and if you want to know what date it is i'll tell you by looking at my chippendales calendar. :P then we went to henessey's for dinner/snack and the kettle for dessert. i wanted to go somewhere with atmosphere, so it was cool. at the kettle we watched this guy stare at each girl's ass that walked by and looked so proud for being such a big man. we laughed at him a lot.

saturday vivian stopped by work right before my shift ended and invited me to come out with her and some friends. so i went home to rest my feet for a bit and then headed out to hermosa again. we went to the pier to this place across from sharkeez.. like fat fish fry.. something shack? all the shirts said f.f.f.f. so it was something like that. we got the sweetest parking space though :) and i just hung out with vivian and her friends jamie, james and julian. hahah.. all the j's and vivian :P i drank a good amount, threw around lots of money and talked to a few people. it was a good time, although i really wanted to dance but the lines at sharkeez and patrick malloys were ridiculously way too long. although i didn't mind the cold at all because i couldn't feel it. haha.. that's a cure to being cold :) just get smashed. after some driving back and forth and chit chatting julian (who is friends of my friends from ucsd.. small world huh?) drove us home and i drank water, drunk immed nicole and manny (sorry for my bad bad typing.. but i wasn't mean.. at all) i went to bed praying that the next morning wouldn't be too bad, and it wasn't :)

sunday i just chilled. i watched like 5 episode of felicity.. yay. it's so good. it makes me all tingly inside. too bad freaking j.j. abrams ditched it to go create alias and ruin scott foley's marriage. haha. everyone says "oh michael vartan's hot" which i fully agree, but still you should cheat of your husband (especially if it's scott foley) for anyone. what a hooker. anyways... felicity is rad... had a quick snack with vivian and then headed to my sisters to do some editing and eat dinner. i live an exciting life, i know.

so this is probably longer than you wanted to read, but i really have nothing better to do, so too bad. at least i hope you enjoyed your stay. i'll probably come back in a few minutes.

so this is for nicole, and, of course, my favorite southerner, pete holiday. happy birthday again :)

yay for thanksgiving! i could never really list what i was thankful for because really i should be thankful for everything in my life, except for these two bugbites on my arm, but everything good or bad teaches me something. i just hope that i'm smart enough to learn the lessons. anyways, my favorite part about thanksgiving is the food (duh). yum yum yum. i spent the morning cleaning my room because my aunt is sleeping in my room, so i rearranged and moved my bed and cleaned and vaccumed. and then i helped my mom cook!! yay!! the only sucky part is that my mom bought a pre-made turkey to ease the hustle of today. except it was smoked and i'm not the biggest smoked meat fan... boo :( oh well, everyone else enjoyed it. plus we had tons of yummy side dishes. last night i went to howe's and bought everything i wanted for thanksgiving. hehehe. i also really like cooking, it's fun!

i am a good cook :P

hope everyone had a good thanksgiving! i hope you all also ate lots of yummy food. have fun at the biggest shopping day of the year! and be nice to those sales people. they work really hard. :)

happy birthday
pete holiday!!

DANCE!!!!!

also...

happy thanksgiving!!

remember what you're thankful for and eat lots and lots and LOTS of food, turkey (or roast if you're nicole's family - aren't you supposed to show the canadian the traditional thanksgiving? :P) i bought $52 worth of food tonight mostly for side dishes tomorrow. i am excited. yum yum yum.

Love to eat turkey
'Cause it's good
Love to eat turkey
Like a good boy should
'Cause it's turkey to eat
So good

Turkey for me
Turkey for you
Let's eat the turkey
in my big brown shoe
Love to eat the turkey
At the table
I once saw a movie
With Betty Grable
Eat that turkey
All night long
Fifty million Elvis fans
Can't be wrong
Turkey lurkey doo and
Turkey lurkey dap
I eat that turkey Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night
Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite
That's right
Turkey with gravy and cranberry
Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry
Turkey for you and
Turkey for me
Can't believe Tyson
Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat
You just can't lose
I fell off my moped
And I got a bruise
Turkey in the oven
And the buns in the toaster
I'll never take down
My Cheryl Tiegs poster
Wrap the turkey up
In aluminum foil
My brother like to masturbate
With baby oil
Turkey and sweet potato pie
Sammy Davis Jr.
Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and
Turkey for the boys
My favorite kind of pants
Are corduroys
Gobble gobble goo and
Gobble gobble gickel
I wish turkey
Only cost a nickel
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

-adam sandler

this my favorite thanksgiving day song

wow i'm actually posting from home. i'm not tired because i had a mocha to keep me awake while i went to my first night shift back at the gap (i'm going to get into so much trouble buying too many clothes i don't need) and i need caffeine to get me through the 12 hour/2 job work day. tomorrow morning it's going to kick me in the ass.

i'm pretty excited because next week i'm gonna go see jc chasez in concert at the hob anaheim. oh yea. yeah i know my sister makes fun of him and says he's gay, and he looks god awful with that long hair, and who knows what's going on with *nsync (they're TOTALLY getting back together for another album, duh) but i'm REALLY excited to see him in concert. although i've heard his new stuff isn't going to be so pop, and a little different. i hope i can enjoy it at the first listen. but also tony lucca is going to be opening for him. and although i didn't fall at his feet, i did enjoy him lots and am excited that a) jc is cool like that and helps bring his friends along the road of fame when he can and b) that i'm going to get to see both of them at one show. i know ann is screaming and jumping up and down with excitement, this is like her dream concert. good thing we bought tickets to the anaheim show and not the sunset one. no hollywood traffic/parking and tony lucca. jc is also playing at spreckles theatre in san diego.. *sigh* i miss sd.

one last tidbit o' fun. philly had this way interesting post on her website.. it was awakening to see the responses she got. it makes you realize that the world is a giant play and you're not the only actor.

i think because the last post was so long i got too pooped out to blog again.. but i just started the cycle over because this will probably end up being another long post. i'm lame. i know. but in all fairness i was pretty busy this week :P and plus after i lost, i realized that i have no friends.. so why bother :P i was too depressed to face the music.

anyhow..i'm back in action.. well. not really but whatever. i'll stop with the stupid sayings now.

this week was like the birthday week o' fun. some events were obviously more fun than others. tuesday vivian wanted to take me out for my birthday because she couldn't make it out this weekend because she had to study and take the GRE. (why so ambitious? :P) so the plan was to meet at Joe's Crab Shack (yum) unfortunately 1 minute after i left my house i tarnished my perfect driving record (plus a few parking tickets) but i got into an accident boo. i scratched my bumper and the other guy's door is crumpled. lesson learned.. don't buy hondas.. they crumpled like aluminum cans. i basically freaked out and called my parents and didn't know what to do. but anyways.. so now i'm not accident free anymore :( shoot.. i knew i shouldn't be hanging around sakura so much, she rubbed off on me. vivian came and got me and we had good food and good chocolate dessert. it was good to talk to her again, good to eat good food. i think that we may have gotten past all the crap, but still aren't as close as we were.. but maybe on the way. we'll see. she offered me a place to stay at her apartment for $25/month to sleep on her couch after i had another huge fight and meltdown with my mom. i would in a heartbeat if i didn't have this temp job and the gap. timing is all off, but there's a reason for everything right?

wednesday was practice, we did the usual going from park to park trying to see if they left their lights on and not getting in trouble for interrupting soccer/flag football games. lame lame lame lame lame. we need do need to make practices more efficient. i hate sucking.

thursday was a busy busy day.. but it was my birthday!!! yay! happy birthday to me!! i went to work - the day before they bought me yummy cuban chicken (kind of like el pollo loco, but way better), thursday i got a pack of gum.. haha.. whoo hoo. afterwards i drove with benji to hollywood for the last show of "here come the fosters" sad sad sad. although it was busy, i still miss it, and i'll miss the people because i don't know if i'll see a lot of them again. except we're gonna go visit one of the actors because he's in the brother bear show at california disney. oh yea. but yea.. i realize more and more that i'd like to do stuff in theater, but it's so hard to break into, and my parent would never support me, and plus i don't have a lot of experience or know how to even know where to begin to do it as a career. hmm. afterwards the cast and friends when to this placed called amagi's on sunset and gower. it was a karaoke/bar/thai-japanese restaurant. which was really really good :) nicole and benji came with me (see.. i do have friends!) and they made me sing songs and drink and eat. they made me have a good time. bastards. but i got to chit chat one last time with a few of the cast members, have them freak nicole and just all around good times. when i finally got nicole agree to sing a song, we were going to do it together, but we were WAY down at the bottom of the list. but they gave me a break because it was my birthday and bumped us up, yay! and then had the whole room sing to me. as much as i love that, i also always hated lots of people i didn't know singing happy birthday - like in restaurants in stuff. i think maybe because i feel like other people are annoyed like.. "oh you think you're so special because it's your birthday?" and like that i just want attention and to announce to the whole world it's my birthday. haha.. i don't know.. i have issues.

the next day more celebrations! yay! that night our family went to claim jumper's for dinner. i didn't get steak because i didn't think i was in the mood for it, but my dad ordered it and i basically ate his dinner and a little bit of my chicken. haha. there was a whole ton of people celebrating their birthdays there. the waiter asked us if we wanted dessert and i was kind of bummed we didn't get a free one because it was my birthday, but we had a cake at home so we said no. and then as we were leaving i got up and turned around and there was the waiter with a slice of ice cream cake (the best kind) and was all like "aww. you don't want us to sing to you?" i felt dumb, but i was thought they weren't going to do it because it was pretty late and the only reason we were still sitting was because my sister had to go to the bathroom. but anyways.. i turned and sat back down all embarassed and had the best ice cream cake i've had in awhile. yum yum yum.

then went home had more birthday cake (chocolate!) (this is why i love birthdays.. haha) and got ready to go out. as usual we were late and manny and jill and carrie called me a lot to see where i was and i made them wait (sorry guys). we finally got to sharkeez, waited in line, tried to get manny in, but he wasn't feeling it anymore, waited some more, finally got in (right before nicole showed up :( ) and danced and drank. 10 shots and 3 drinks later (collectively between sakura, carol and i) we stumbled out of the club and sakura, carol, benji, carrie, jill and i met up with jimmy, manny, ryan, beth and nicole and a few of us straggled over to the kettle while the no fun people went home (just kidding.. it was 2am already). the kettle was fun.. we just ate and talked, i swear i'm not a mean drunk, don't listen to manny.. he's perpetuating LIES. but i also got my present from carrie, sakura and nicole. YAY! i got the felicity season 1 (oh yea) and dawson's season finale dvd's (whoo hoo) and the 2004 chippendales calendar (sexxxy) too bad november is an ugly month. but we flipped through it and screamed and cat called to a calendar while all the guys just rolled their eyes. hahah. thanks girls!! i LOVE it!

saturday i watched ucla get beat down, watched hugh jackman in oklahoma! (boo... musicals thhs 114), cleaned a little bit and headed to disneyland (late of course.. again) and FINALLY watched fantasmic (but we got jipped because they didn't have the GRAND finale), drank hot cocoa, rode the carousel and peter pan and just enjoyed the loveliness of the holidays at disneyland. :) it's the first time i've been to disneyland during the holidays.. i always wanted to go to their "very merry.. merry merry christmas!" but never got to. i'm glad i get to now... they do the holidays right. oh.. and the churro man flirted with nicole, he wanted to her to ride his "churro ride" hahha.

sunday was the waffles second game. we lost, by a lot, which is sad because the other team just stopped trying and still kicked the crap out of us. go waffles.

dammit.. i can't believe i lost.. and that crazy crack whore won, with fake promises and gimmicks.. that she stole from me! man.. now i know how cruz bustamante feels. wait.. i want a RECALL!! - i think it would be appropriate seeing as how this is a california poll :)

i feel like the weekend passed too fast. it's monday already and i can't wait for friday, well thursday is nice too.. i'm excited for thursday. :)

last wednesday was the freak storms in california. it was pretty awesome... yes yes, i know, we californians are wimps when it comes to weather and crap like that. but right after the fires, the weather freaks out. i guess it's weather karma from it being super sunny and 80-90 degrees all the way through october. wednesday where i was it hailed for a short bit at 3pm, and at 5pm when i got off work the skies looked little gray.. as i drove west i saw a little orange as the sun was setting near the beach and behind me there was lighting in the sky.. it was cool. i heard on the radio about the freaky weather in all different parts, raining and flooding in some parts and beautiful sunsets in the other. when i got home i watched the news with my dad (because the weather was the ONLY thing on tv) and saw that parts of la were flooded and since we're not equipped for that amount of rain in the first hour or so the 3 inches of rain managed to completely shut down la. it was interesting and we ended up getting a little bit of rain, lightning and thunder.. but nothing too bad in torrance :) although the lightning did strike my phone line and caused our line to die, which we didn't discover until thursday and didn't get fixed until wednesday. so i apologize if you tried to reach me and couldn't. (not that any does... ever.)

thursday i had my play and carrie, benji, keri and jerrod came.. yay!!! i do have friends. thanks for coming guys! they said they enjoyed it, so i'm glad, and keri brought me flowers!! yay!!! she loves me. even though i'm not really on stage, it's cool that they came to see the play, and i'm really glad that they liked it and had a good time :) afterwards benji and i went to the cat and fiddle afterwards which is like the post play hang out and just sat, chit chatted, benji attempted to hit on a girl he thought was hot and ate some yummy dinner.

friday i went to souplantation with my daddy.. he loves that place. but it was fun going out to dinner with him and just hanging out with him. for the last few weeks i felt so distant from him.. it sucked. like i felt like we never really talked and all he did was yell at me.. and just always seemed really angry, but i think things are better now. not that we ever really talk about anything real.. but it's just nice to know that i'm not going to get yelled at by him on a daily basis. he was always one of those people that never really got mad a lot, but when he did get mad he would get really really really mad.. like when he left for new york. we had this huge fight and it sucked. but he changed offices so he works in my sister's area, so he goes to her office sometimes to have lunch with her, and my sister showed him my unfinished trailer.. and she said it was really good and he said he liked it too. he didn't really get what it was about because he didn't know what the project was about, but i feel like he was impressed. enough to mention to me that he saw it. and its weird because that meant SO much to me. like my parents were never super interested in anything that did.. outside of the obligatory things that i made them go to like my band concerts and when i was in the musical, but like when i played sports my dad would sometimes come to games.. or like when i was doing circle k my parents would always complain about how i was doing too much "key club" stuff and what not. and they've never really seen/heard any of my projects that i've done. like, it's not a huge deal, and i feel kind of like a brat whining about it, but it mattered to me that people take interest in things that i'm interested in. SO ANYWAYS.. sorry for this long winded tangent (with no mention of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches BY THE WAY ;P...) i'm really happy that my sister showed it to him, and that he liked it and showed some amount of interest... it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

but i do feel like maybe one of the reasons why i'm a daddy's girl is because i'm kinda a tomboy in the sense that i liked sports and i liked to wrestle with my dad and stuff like that. i think that my dad (like all dads) probably was sad that he didn't get a son.. we were in sportmart the other day buying stuff for the greatest softball team in the world and he wanted to buy this wooden bat.. and

me: what are you going to do with a bat?
my daddy: yea.. i'm going to buy it and teach my kids how to play baseball.
me: what? huh? what kids are you going to teach.
my daddy: i'll adopt some kids and teach them how to play

it was cute in a depressing kind of way. like it's one of those things that you're totally grateful for things you have, but yet you wish you still had that one thing that's missing.

so yea.. anyways.. saturday sakura and i drove out to the wrong side of the tracks .. the boonies.. CHINO hills because nicole bribed us, and carrie, with free food and chocolate and whined about how she couldn't go anywhere because her car was sad. but it was a lot of fun, we played with her oh so cute puppy, ate yummy yummy food, made fun of each other, watched tv and sappy girly movies. we tried to watch skinemax and find the soft porn, but we only caught the end of "passion's peak" and all the good stuff already happened. i really wanted to know what happened with the stripper who was trying to rebuild her life so she renovated a hotel. umm.. yea.. i'm not making this stuff up people. it was fun, and the food was yummerific and the company was great. thanks to the girls - and carlene and sonny.. you guys rock :)

yesterday was the waffles first big game! whoo hoo!! too bad we lost. :( it's okay.. we let them win.. ahah yup. we let them win by sucking. just kidding. it was our first game and we didn't really know what it was going to be like. and we'll play them again and kick their asses cuz we know what our faults are and what we need to work on. it was also the first time we met as a whole team.. so we have to get that chemistry thing going too. but it'll be good.. i can feel it :) i just have to get this slow-pitch thing down (the arch needs to be 8-12 feet and land on a mat behind home base for it to be a strike.. hmm.) and we need to fill the holes in our outfield and beth needs to go to the batting cages to catch balls :) i also need to learn how to not giggle in the middle of the game. but i like to laugh at what a dumb ass i am. :P highlights of our first game include

*me running in to the large and in charge guy standing on first base and bouncing off him like he was a rubber wall and getting this huge scrape on my leg (there's something about me and getting knocked down by huge fat guys when i play for ryan skophammer)

*this girl running into beth (at home plate) because she didn't slide (thus her getting out) and so this girl fell down and beth felt bad and tried to help her up and she said "don't touch me" (i would have smacked her beth) and our whole team yelling "yea beth!!! great job!!"

*right before that happened i caught the ball, turned around and threw the ball to beth - but i lost my balance, so i immediately fell after that and rolled around in the dirt - missing watching beth's heroic moment. damn. i also felt like an ass and the guy from the other team asked me "what was that" and i just said "i have no idea" in the midst of my fits of giggles

*this girl hitting a grounder right to me, i caught it, but then proceeded to play popcorn with it, the ball jumped around and i fumbled (huh.. wrong sport? no.) and dropped the ball and let the girl on base. yup.. i'm good. giggles attacked me here too.

*us being up by a run in the second inning.. too bad that wasn't the end of the game.

and last but certainly not least..

*the BEST TEAM MOM/PHOTOGRAPHER/TREASURER IN THE WHOLE WORLD brought us cut up oranges for our after game snack. she not only sliced the oranges, but also sliced the fruit part from the peel so it would be less messy in eating them. WOW. sakura rocks my socks off.

after the game jill, sakura, beth and i went to rocky cola cafe for our post game celebratory (?? can you call it that if you lost??) dinner. we shared the wings and things #1 appetizer - which included chicken wings, zucchini sticks, buffalo wings and we subsituted the onion rings for garlic fries - and came with celery and carrots and ranch, honey mustard and bleu cheese (which we asked for another ranch) and then shared the chocolate skyscraper cake, with whip cream and two scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side. and we all drank ice water. (are you happy now holiday?)

So I can't go down without a fight. :P

Pete's lastest poll in his ever lasting sweeps is to have one of his california groupies.. err.. friend's post on his site. apparently nicole is kicking all our asses in this vote. i tell you it's fixed dammit.. and there's too much propaganda for nicole withing 100ft of the polling place.. so this is my small effort to fight back.

Nicole is a politician.. PLUS she wears toe socks. Yes.. I know my hate has already been "overblown" on her site, but really.. you know they creep you out.. toe socks?! COME ON!! and she's already so cocky and confident.. i swear she already has her guest post written out and proofread. i'm currently tied with carrie.. and are you really going to let me get less votes than her?.. she's a self proclaimed rabbit! how can an animal be the most popular one? if you vote for her that's one step away from saying you love barney. plus, she can't even cook... what good could ever come out of that? TAKE THEM DOWN!

So I'm going to make fake promises I won't be able to do, or gimmicks to have you vote for me.. but you should.. just because :)

go and vote

happy veteran's day.

too bad i don't get work off.. sucky. but both of my parents did and so i went out to lunch with them at the pizza hut lunch buffet! yummy. it was SUPER crowded and i got there first so i put in our "order" and waited nicely for a table, these two other guys came and then my parents walked through the door. so this other guy was a jerk and was all harassing the waitress, telling her that she wasn't trying her hardest, that he was going to go clean off the table cuz she's so slow.. blah blah.. and then she went to clean off the table and he started to go sit down. at that point my mom was all like "hey hey hey" because she was all worried that i had to get back to work on time. and his friend who was a lot nicer was like.. "oh.. they were here first" but i'm sure he didn't hear because he had his head too far up his ass and was trying to argue and the waitress who looked like she wanted to murder someone already was all "please we're all grown-ups, we can work this out" but no.. there was no "working out" because i was there first.. plain and simple. so the guy was all like "if you think you were here first, then i'll let you go." what an asshole. i was like.. "no..i KNOW i WAS here first, i watched you walk in the door".. and as we were going to sit down at our rightfully ours table, he was like "your welcome" and i was just like.. "whatever dude.. i was here first, what am i supposed to thank you for giving me what was already mine?" what a jerkface. but anyways.. he sat down like at the table next to us like 2 minutes later. (great). he was all harassing the waitress, complaining about everything and how he wasn't going to leave a tip, and just being plain rude. and then afterwards he went up and complained some more about his experience was "horrible" he was just a very unhappy windbag. karma's totally going to get him. and besides... what ever happened to chivalry, or 'ladies first?' my mom is this little asian lady and this guy is being a huge jerk.. like what is wrong with you? whatever dude. i hate how people just think that pushing their weight around and yelling makes them look important and/or is going to automatically get them what you want. it just makes you look like an ass.

but i still ate plenty of pizza and got a slice of my chicken and mushroom.. mmm... and just working. fun fun stuff.

but while i am occupying myself at work i wanted to post about beloved o-town.. from mtv.com

"After much speculation, it's official — O-Town are O-Ver. According to a statement they sent to fan site Insideotown.com, the group will not continue on, but will remain "best friends." The decision was mutual, and each member has moved on to other projects: Jacob is working as a volunteer firefighter in San Diego, Dan is writing and producing, Trevor is studying acting, Ashley is recording a solo album and Erik-Michael is going solo and exploring acting. "

que lastima.. it's okay.. they were loved. take a moment of silence for them today.

(ps. for those of you who read nicole's blog.. don't be fooled.. i'm the one who told her this very important news.. i'm not just copying her blog cuz i have nothing important in my life. but we are both equally sad. hahah.. and don't worry nicole.. you can still go buy there cd's .. go now!)

so the weekend is already over. damn. i wish i could say that i get tomorrow off for veteran's day but no such luck. damn. this weekend was chill.. friday ann and i fought traffic to get to the jason mraz show at the wiltern. we met up with carrie, nicole and beth and donated our food and went inside. it's a pretty cool little venue.. very cute, not huge, but also not small. it was a good show. we stood in the back just because it was a bit too crowded and we're a bit too short. dang.. i should have worn my tall shoes. it was kind to stand behind the sound and light boards.. but also a bit distracting. and we also saw the set list (which beth obtained afterwards :P) so a few yays and nays about what he was playing before the show even started. although under "acoustic break" he didn't actually list 0% interest.. so i started jumping up and down and screaming like a school girl when he started to strumm the chords as nicole and beth looked at me like i was a weirdo. but it was interesting to see the show evolve.. it was really flashy and cool, but i did find myself staring at the lights and how they moved and not even listening to the show (oohh.. shiny).. especially from the back. nicole is so funny- as jason was coming on stage.. the theater was all dark and then these yellow lights started to wave around the theater and i think there was some "pump you up" music playing and nicole screams "i thought we were here to see jason mraz! not *nsync" so sad, yet kind of true. but during one of jason's last songs he was saying how he thought the lights were ridiculous.. haha.. at least he knows :P i wonder if it's hard for him to play and concentrate like that. i read some interview with blink 182 and they were saying how it's so hard to play with all the flashing, strobing lights. i bet it's the same for jason mraz.. well.. at least at first. but he had this giant backdrop that came in half way through the show and it was like the background of his cd cover.. and then after a song or two they shined lights on it to change it so it looked like the street at night.. there were little lamps, and a moon and lyrics from various songs were printed on it. it was very disneyland and really rad. soooo different.. but still cool :) i am still a teenybopper so i can enjoy these things, and still love it and have a good time, but it's definitely interesting to see the differences. but i'm glad that my friends had a good time. they are all sorry now that they thought that i was insane when i tried to get them to go see jason mraz with me last summer. the official retractions are now in their blogs. haha.. i'm just glad that they don't think i'm crazy anymore.. they have too fallen under the spell. :) rad.

after the show i said goodbye to philly and gave her some paraphernilia stuff i had.. i hope she loves it.. or else i'll regret that i didn't hock it on ebay and make some money i so desperately need. haha jk. and i also saw aran too.. which was exciting.. i screamed and we hugged.. our usual routine. i love him. (one more thing about bigger venues, i didn't get to see "everyone" too bad) afterwards i drove ann home after a late dinner at in n out. saturday i just cleaned, fought with my mom.. the same usual weekend drama. i did watch my tv that i recorded that week.. i finally had time to catch up.. one tree hill, friends, but i frikkin forgot to tape miss match. damn. sunday i cooked some really nasty mac n cheese.. if you ever cook it.. don't put pepper in it. i always see people do it and i thought it would be good. it's not. it's nasty.. don't do it. and then i went to go see love actually with manny and sakura. it was alright.. we got there late so we had to sit in the second row.. my eyes watered at some points from being too close up. it was interesting to have that many storylines in one movie.. and i do feel that not all them played out as well as they could have.. but it was good. i was expecting something else.. but it was okay. and hugh grant is such a cutie. i'll love him even if he likes hookers. afterwards sakura and i went to elephant bar and shared a really good appetizer.. it was yummy. mm.. i kind of almost want to go there right now and have it again for lunch :P

this week we're starting to do softball stuff. we have our first "practice" tomorrow.. yay! i love softball. but i do need to go find my glove.. i completely misplaced it (like everything else in my life). i'm so excited though. yay! i hope i don't suck too much. kudos to beth for making a blogger for us already.. i think she's already working on a tshirt too.. hahah.. i want cute baseball tees :P i feel like i should go do some exercise to get in shape.. cuz i definitely missed spring training. i huffed and puffed my way up 5 flights of stairs while everyone else was breathing normally. :P go me. go waffles!

who says lighting can't be sexy?
especially with jason mraz.

oops.. i forgot to mention
happy birthday sergi!

so i finally get to blog. i've been wanting to for awhile.. but just haven't had the time or been too tired.. or wasn't in a big typing mood. but i look at my blog and it looks so sad and lonely.. so i'm sorry blog.. i love you.. i really do.

not much .. i've been a tad busy with nothing. fun huh? my grandma left :( which sucks because she was a lot of fun.. we got to hang out a lot and was even fun to just watch tv with. plus she liked to cook for me and do the dishes. she was rad. hopefully i'll get to see her soon. my sister also went to taiwan.. but she'll be back soon.. monday to be exact, with lots of presents in hand .. whoo hoo! i told her what to buy me.. hehe. but in the airport we also perused the duty free shop and i got a new watch :) i've lost/broken the last few i have, and just rely on my cell phone for time, but i also like a good watch, so of course i went looking. it's courtesy of my grandma.. she said she bought it as a birthday present for me. :) the only sucky thing is that since it's duty free i have to wait until my sister comes back from taiwan to get it. oh well. it's purtty and shiny .. i'm excited.

i also went to the virgin howie day instore (without driving in triangles... thank goodness) with erika and beth. we got there late.. but he was great.. :) and then through erika i got tickets to the concert the next day (which was actually supposed to be the day before, but got postponed because of the fires because his plane couldn't land) and dragged benji to the concert with me. he was the only who would go.. i would have been so sad if i couldn't find someone to go with. benji is the best. the concert was SO good and full band and solo work by howie was sweet. he also did this looping thing that was really really awesome where he makes all these different chords, sounds, beats and loops them all together on stage in front of you to make a whole song.. it's neat. apparently he's done it forever.. but this is the first time i've seen him live and it rocked. not to mention that his bassist looked like a relative of steve kim hehehe. not quite as hot, but definitely not ugly. he just needs to not smile with his mouth open though.. he had pirate teeth. haha. but i enjoyed it. matt nathanson was also lovely and funny. thanks again benji!

wednesday i finally called up the temp agency again (since i hadn't heard from them in forever) and asked them to call me again. it works out well because before i felt bad for leaving my grandma at home by herself, but now that she's gone it's good that i can work so my parents won't nag me about me being a useless lump of nothing eating their food and using their money. but so the temp agency called me about an "indefinite" job which was pretty close to my house (16 minutes in traffic) so it's nice. the bad part is that it's 8am-5pm.. which is normal like most jobs, and not too heinous, but when i've been waking up at 1pm.. 8am is kicking me in arse. i'm super tired all day and what not.. but it's chill and not stressful. a bit boring.. i punch numbers ALL day.. but it's easy and leaves me with plenty of time to surf the net, email and chat. but i DO get all my work done and then some.. so i figure it's alright. that's what everyone else there does too. but i'm also getting paid, which is definitely nice.. my funds were running pretty low... so it's good to have income.. now i can be even more wasteful and frivolous. but i'm also crazy and applied at the gap for part time (nights and weekends) which means if i got it then i'd be going straight from one job to another. i don't know why.. i just had this overwhelming desire to work there still. it's not like i NEED the money (although it is nice to have extra) and not like i NEED the clothes either.. (my closet constantly looks like it's thrown up all over my room) .. i don't know.. i just really wanted to, and thought it would be fun. but i guess we'll see. what if they don't hire me? that would be pretty sad. but it would follow my current hiring trend. how sad would it be if i got rejected from the gap. damn.

halloween came and went, i passed out candy to some really cute kids. i saw these kids that were a set a crayons!! it was so cute. and then i really wanted to see a set of kids dressed up as harry, ron and hermione. how AWESOME would that be... but it didn't happen.. kids are dumb.. haha. i was supposed to hang out with carrie but couldn't because i got in a fight with my mom (yes again) so i just stayed home and wallowed. boo... i know.

the play is going well. just two weeks left. opening night was good good.. and then it just kinda has been all over the place since then. since it only shows once a week and we don't do anything in between.. it's like those classes that you only had once a week were you forget everything from the week before. i've fudged up a little with lights and sounds.. nothing TOO noticeable.. but it kind of sucks. there are flaws.. but most everyone seems to not notice and enjoy it. i just know because that's my job right? it sucked though because last week we had to start and hour later because on of the actor's cars broke down. this week was good.. it just sucks with traffic and parking. damn hollywood. but some people have mentioned that they're going to come to the next two shows.. so i'm excited.. i'll have friends. haha. i hope i don't mess up too badly from the pressure.

i also worked on editing my trailer for my sister's shorts. i went late late at nights and my mom freaked.. but it's all good. i didn't quite finish, but i will soon.. although they already showed them.. and people responded well. i still think it a p.o.s. but that's what i always think. but it's been fun piecing this stuff together and every once in awhile i like getting compliments that i pretend not to care about and say i'm unworthy of ;) but deep down.. it makes me all warm and tingly. i'm smiling on the inside.

ryan and i finally got the details of the softball worked out.. so i'm pretty excited. although i'm writing a fat check that i don't have money for.. i hope they don't cash it right away. :P but hopefully we won't suck to bad and maybe even kick ass. go waffles!

and i'm going to see jason mraz tonight. sexy.

i couldn't resist.
