sooooooo bored. i don't know.. today is unusually quiet, but i guess i hear that things are slowing down. hmm. i hear a lot of people are taking tomorrow off, so maybe i will bring entertainment. but there is only so much that i can do just sitting there. i wish i could bring my whole set up and do it while at work.. that would be awesome. but i don't think that it's gonna happen.

so because i'm bored you get the "this is what i did" entries... but not as super lengthy.. i hope :P

this week just feels like a continuation of last week. i'm losing track of time, it's all just blurred together. went to hermosa for a birthday celebration. nothing too rowdy.. just free meals @ henessey's on birthday thursdays!! yay. so instead of beer i ordered a pear cider because it's still sociable and not hard liquor, but something that i can drink without gagging. thanks for the hot tip beth. i figure i'm working my way on to where i think beer is yummerific. do i even want to get to that point? it's easier (and cheaper!) when you just go out for one or two drinks.. and don't want to get crunked. especially because they don't always have pear cider everywhere

friday was work party. it was fun... nothing out of control either.. but i was a bit tipsy.. and poor sakura had to wait for me to sober up to drive back..so she was falling asleep and everyone at my work was giving me funny looks like i was just ignoring her.. but i wasn't. but hopefully she had fun, i really liked the decorations (movie themed) and the director gave out awards for the crew who had been on the movie the whole 2+ years. the food was good (including fruit and chocolate fondue for dessert!) and PLENTY of drinks. i remember everything that night, but it's all a little bit wobbly :P but fun and smiley. :P

saturday, up early to finish the slideshow for a friend's niece's bday. then breakfast meeting for a new project. (wow .. i feel a little professional! :P) and then catching up on desperate housewives at my sister's, home to nap before seeing star wars with ryan, beth, jimmy and other torrance friendlies. i suck and i didn't show up to wait with them (i was sleeping!) but got there in time for the movie. i'm not a huge star wars fan, so i didn't know what to expect. i had heard it was really good, i heard the dialogue was laughable, and i heard that it was more defined line of good vs. bad (vs the other movies.. still haven't seen the 2nd one). i think that it was good, i was confused by a few things, i asked jimmy a lot of questions, over analyzed certain things, and marveled at the wipes that are used that aren't traditionally used in large features. but i think that it's a star wars thing. i found myself wanting to scream out "anakin.. nooooo don't do it!! don't go to the dark side!" which is good that it draws you in.. and you sit there thinking that maybe if you wish enough you can change the inevitable :)

afterwards i rushed over to LA to catch a friend of a friend's band SOFT SUPPLY and 80's cover band... complete with 90's clothes and rockin wigs. love the mullets. i felt kind of out of place and little like i didn't belong because everyone knew all the words to all the songs and very obviously had great memories of these songs at like their school dances or something. a few work friends were there, and this one girl was like "these were my high school songs" and she said she felt like she was 14 again. i definitely enjoyed the songs that i knew, and even the ones i didn't and the show was awesome. they even tossed out headbands for the crowd to wear. it was really fun. AND they had a bubble machine. that is just sprinkles on the sundae.

sunday i had work and then softball.. where a few people flaked and that was not fun. eventually we got our 10 players (thank you last minute subs!) and we still took a little bit of a beating.. i think we're still finding our groove. although the flow has been interrupted because ryan broke his leg! (and sprained it too!) YIKES huh. uh oh. still gotta find replacements and work out other kinks... so.. we'll see. i know it's just a game and just supposed to be for fun.. but.. i dunno.. so many concerns... plus i know i know.. winning is fun.. losing isn't, but playing just to win isn't fun either. i feel like i gotta make more phone calls and crap - but i also don't want to pester people/hold their hands.. so.. i dunno.

tuesday.. you know what happened.. slept through my shift.

yesterday i went to get some software that i need for my projects..which is super exciting. i lugged my computer around all day.. and now it's making a little bit of a humming noise.. on and off.. i hope it's not permanent... it'd kind of go away here and there..so i wasn't quite sure. aww.. my baby :( my computer is pretty sexy though :) set up the system with external drives and dv tape deck. almost feel like a real editor.. but not. haha.. amateur real?

today is slow... dragging.. but i am a little less bored and it's allllllmost time to go. blogging does wonders for boredom sometimes. maybe i'll go read some scripts.. that helps pass time too.

so i found this article yesterday about my school. i was a little excited because i think that our school is hardly ever in the newspaper... especially because we're not a big school. i used to avidly surf the sports pages for mentions of our games, but i think we were only in there when we'd play chadwick in water polo and get our asses handed to us. go rebels.

it's kind of neat, it's not super nerdy - it's about this kid at cams who wrote and produced (with help) a musical (including music). neat huh? i wonder if the school "dorkestra" is going to be performing it. heheheh. i wish i could check it out, but i have work until too late to catch the shows. also on the alumni message boards (nerds.. i know) there is this person who says they are taping it, and their profile says they go to USC and is into filmmaking. most likely i know that person, but i can't figure out who it is under their screen name. oh well... but that's pretty neat. anyhoo.. check it out :) it must be really awesome for that guy.

Star Wars Horoscope for Scorpio

You are a powerful character. You tend to be possessive and lusty - which explains your greedy nature. You feel threatened when people try to order you around or control you. You are prone to suspicion and jealousy - but your resilience and passion get you what you want. Star wars character you are most like: Han Solo

What is Your Star Wars Horoscope?

dang. it.

so after i came home and ate dinner i took a "nap" because i was SO tired. i thought.. hey i have an hour.. i'll take a 20 minute power nap. the problem with power naps is that they last a long time if your dumbass is too lazy to set an alarm. i'm always too stupid to set an alarm, and most of the time it doesn't matter because it's when i want to get up to do a project or something, and i can always do it later. but.. sometimes it's for something important. like work. OOPS.

so yea.. i slept through my shift tonight. i guess it was bound to happen eventually. i've done it for my other jobs... it was bound to happen for this one too. my lazyness and my love for sleeping must eventually rule all. sad thing is that this week has only begun and i'm already exhausted. i had almost a non-stop weekend (filled with nothing that i was "supposed" to be doing) and maybe i am over-exerting myself, but i just need to get a lot of things done. including all the laundry on my floor... and that's totally not happening at the moment. why don't i just do it now? becuase the washer and dryer is right outside my dad's window and he's not fond of me doing laundry while he's sleeping. doh.

so anyways.. i gotta get going doing project research... i've wasted an hour on the internet like always. bad me.

i need a break from life.

yay!! so i thought i'd blog because i'm in a super good mood, and to keep linh entertained at work since myspace has been blocked. poor linh. i am in a super good mood because i FINALLY feel better. i think i have this cold licked.. and hopefully it won't be bothering me anymore. and i say this like i had it for weeks and weeks or something.. but in actuality.. it's only been just 1 week. which is not bad, considering i still went out and had other stuff to do. but.. i still have a lot of stuff to do this week... but now that i feel better i can do it! yay!! because i was seriously so miserable this past week. thursday i went to bed at 7pm, friday i went out for a bit - which probably didn't help too much, but i had my scarf and sweater on! i wanted to go hang out and talk with beth... upside: it was fun, downside: i think i got her sick :P saturday we went to san diego for olivia & chinson's wedding.. yay!! congrats :) it was really pretty and a perfect day too :) sunday was work and then our first softball game! goooo menacers. i had a few panic attacks because a bunch of people couldn't come because they were sick (i think i may have been responsible for two of those people.. hah) so i had to call and beg people to come, but it ended up working out well. not fantastic because we still lost (14-3.. boo) but at least we didn't forfeit, we had fun, and we gained some players. hopefully once we get things settled.. we'll do a lot better. :) i can feel it :P

monday was a pretty miserable day.. and so was tuesday. i was supposed to work tuesday night, but i had someone cover my shift and i went straight to bed. last night i went to a co-worker's house to bake a cookie cake for another co-worker. it turned out not so bad :) but i did get home a little late and i was going to stay up and try to work on this slide show for my friend, but i was far too exhausted.. but i got a good rest and today i felt really good, so i don't feel too bad about not working on it. except for the fact that it needs to be done by saturday, and i have birthday stuff tonight, work party tomorrow and a meeting saturday morning. umm.. when am i going to get this slideshow done? damn.

but i am still in an excellent mood. i'm still coughing a little and still blowing my nose here and there, but i am not all super plugged up.. so i love it. :)

i hate when you start doing nice things for people, because you can... and then it just becomes commonplace, an institution, and then suddenly it becomes your job. like you have to do it all the time, because other people get used to it, and then when you don't do it, there is something missing and they get pissed at you. when really it was never your job in the first place, you were just being nice. it sucks when you do people favors, and then they get mad because you didn't do it how they wanted you do it. it's like "i'm doing you a favor jerkface!"

makes you never want to be nice to anyone. ever. if you make them rare occurences, people would be more grateful.

you suck.

DISNEY'S 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!

more of my disney's 50th pictures can be found here

hope you enjoy the pictures. sorry i've been too lazy to put them up earlier. :P my feet are cold... probably because i'm a little (or a lot) sickie. it's getting progressively worse on the outside (more sniffling.. etc etc). does that mean i'm healing? i slept the moment i got home yesterday.. all night until midnight or so where i got up to take out my contacts, take some medicine and try to go back to sleep. but i had gotten 5 hours of sleep and it was hard getting back to sleep.. so i watched some tivo'ed joey and after that finally was able to go back to sleep. this morning i thought i could make it through the day, so i'm here at work. i'm sure i could make it through the day........ i'm not completely miserable... at least not yet. i hope i get better.. but this weekend isn't a real good weekend for that.. since i won't be getting a lot of rest. wedding in san diego tomorrow (but i'm really looking forward to it!) and then work and our first softball game on sunday :) woo hoo!! cheer us on.. i hope we win.. or else we might start losing players :(

happy friday.

yay for 20,000 visits. congrats bloggie. i know 20,000 is a small feat for some people.. but i like it :)

makes me feel a little better while i'm sick. BLEH.

so here are some random shorts....

i'm going to apologize in the beginning of this story for the excessive gross girlyness of it. with that said.. if stuff like this grosses you out, stop reading. it's not a lot of details or anything.. but just the mention of it. i generally like to stay away from topics like this.. but this is pretty entertaining.

so... last night i went to into the gap after work because i had to get something. i technically still work there, and go to traning meetings every here and there, but haven't really worked a real shift in awhile. so the mgr tries to rope me into working because there aren't really any closers, and there are a few no shows or people who called in sick. whatever. she is begging me to stay and work, despite that i just got off of working a 10.5hr day and hadn't eaten dinner yet .. i was thinking about doing it.. just because i like my mgr, i felt bad for them, and i have a hard time saying no. i delay my answer a little bit, and right when i'm about to go say yes and clock in... i realize something is not right. i go to the bathroom and check and confirm that my monthly visitor "flo" has paid me a visit. i tell my mgrs that i can't stay because i have begun to surf the crimson wave at that very moment, and although i have emergency supplies in my bag, i don't want there to be any permanent stains. talk about perfect timing huh? although i was willing to stay, i wasn't really excited about it, so while these girly shenanigans are usually so dreaded, i was quite thankful to have a reason to get out of there and not look like i wasn't trying to be helpful. although i'm not loving these pains so much today.

........

today i tried to have lunch with beth. and i say tried not because either of us flaked... we spent my lunch hour together, but we didn't have any lunch. i got my discounted entertainment book in the mail yesterday and decided i wanted to get as much use out of it as possible. so i picked a place near my work that i had heard about before and heard was pretty popular. so we walk down to the beach and get a table and peruse the menu. things seem to be fine... we wait a little long to get our order taken, the water tastes a little not so great, beth wanted the street performer right next to us to die, and we sit and chat in the beautiful sun and have a lovely conversation. i figure this food wouldn't be too fast, but didn't expect it to be fantastically slow. even with only one waitress and a helper guy... it should not have taken THIRTY FIVE MINUTES for us to not get our food. after 20 minutes or so i ask the guy to check on our food because we need to go. he serves other people their drinks, brings out some food.. all not ours. finally we decide we should just get out of there because we still have to walk back to my work... and i go inside and tell them we're going to leave. the guy asks if we want the food and i ask him if it's ready.. if it's ready maybe we can take it.. if not then we're just going to go. the girl comes in like ready to give us the check, and beth says that she isn't paying for the food. so the girl goes "so you want to cancel it?" in this nonchalant attitude like it happens all the time. maybe it's not the place to go when you're on an hour lunch. i saw a few co-workers of mine there... maybe they were there just to drink. but the girl really didn't seem like she cared.. she wasn't even a tiny bit apologetic (not like the awesome pat and oscars lady who was super nice, really sorry, refunded my money and still gave me the food we ordered...) but was just like.. okay bye. probably pissed off thinking it was our fault. but we sat there for 45 or 50 mintues and only got water... because i asked the guy for them. so.. On the Waterfront Cafe in Venice.... booo to you for being so heinously slow.

but i am thankful to beth who went out and bought me lunch, and came back to drop it off, even after i told her to go home. what a sweetheart. :)


........


so this guy at my work was wearing drawstring athletic rayon type capri pants. with these pants he was wearing simple brand shoes and black socks. the CEO says to him "hey... why don't you have a party and invite your pants to meet your shoes?"

flippin hilarious.

*WARNING* do not read if you don't want to know who won the amazing race. :)




SO.... i'm am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that uchenna & joyce won. i think they are good hearted and have a great story - on top of being great competitors and deserved to win... and if they hadn't won.. joyce would have cut off all her freaking hair for nothing?! yikes. but i almost (almost i say) cried at the end.. because i think it was great how happy they were, and how the race had brought them back together... from the verge of almost a failed marriage. you know? my mom.. who never watched the show before - i got her into it with all most ranting and raving at the tv.. she was even grinning at the end. i kept trying to explain to her my disdain for rob & amber... and she was like "well... if they let you do that.. why not" and it's not so much what they did.... but just that they're so smug. i'm sooooooooo glad they didn't win.. or else i would have felt like i wasted a whole season watching this show. much like carlene's dissapointment with average joe 3 guy adam. :P i liked ron & kelly in the beginning.. and i liked ron at the end still.. hahah.. (maybe because i have a little crush on him.. :P) but that sucks that they got lost on the way to the airport. i feel your pain!! hahaha.. if i was every in the amazing race.. i could drive.. because i'm good at that.. and squeezing in, speeding, picking the right freaking toll lane (oh yay what LA traffic has taught me)... but someone else would obviously be the navigator (because i'm driving.. and because i suck at that)... hahahah. yes yes.. save all your snarky comments (beth).. i know i suck at directions. but i am good at driving. and not just for an asian female.. (pete.. i know what you're thinking!)

so anyways... there's all these thoughts about conspiracy theories on the internet amongst the message boards (yes.. i'm a dork) about if the producers had meddled with the getting uchenna and joyce on the plane that was leaving (with rob & amber) aboard.. just so there'd be a race. these thoughts did run through my head after the show was over (because i am in the hyper thinking editing can change anything mode).. because if rob & amber had that lead, on a relatively short course race (probably even with the not being able to find the shop.. which was so disgustingly enjoyable to watch).. there really would be no race at all. BUT.. i think it was luck, and maybe the persuasion of knowing they were on the race (and that they would be on TV ... ) because if the show involved themselves in the outcome of the race.. there would be a riot... and i don't think they'd risk it.. fake reality tv or not. i mean.. i've heard a lot of stories about how reality tv isn't real.. and of course you know that on those dating shows - it's mostly actors. but you can't affect the outcome.... didn't you watch quiz show?! hahaha. maybe ken jennings was a fake too :P jk.

SO ANYWAYS...

so very happy, i am. :)

*(that was a little yoda speak for ya.. as i was so eloquently reminded that stars wars is in 7 days.... angelee is going to see it with MY boyfriend. curses!)

so.. funny thing that happened on the way to bed.. i hear about some small commotion on the internet... again. hahaha....

Mondo's Best of the Last 6 Years of CKI or.. "the mondo's"... as he has dubbed them.

...

dammit!!! will i NEVER make any of armando's lists?! hahaha..

< /cki nerdery >

so.. as i open the internet, my home page, the apple site, comes up... and it lists the the top 10 downloaded songs off itunes. so... number 6.. is incomplete by the backstreet boys. BOY.. have i been missing out... i kind of knew they are back together because i think they are playing at wango tango.. but they have a new song out?! where the heck have i been??? apparently under my rock to not know that the BSB has a new single. man.. i feel "incomplete" har har har.

just thought y'all would like to know :)

*now i'm just waiting for *nsync to be revived.... :P

i LOVE disneyland.

without fail, even with crowds, even when i was angry about the whole passport thing last year.. i still love it. that's what they are so good at... making you follow them in a cult like manner almost. getting thousands of people sitting around, waiting on the ground, through cold, and rain.. just to see some fireworks?! but they aren't just any fireworks, they are disney fireworks, and that makes it alllll worth it. they have people taking off work, ditching school, traveling far distances to celebrate their 50th anniversary, on a date that's not really even their actual anniversary, but you go anyways.

it's like cki convention almost, you come away feeling re-energized, and refreshed for your love of whatever it was. after conventions you always come away with this feeling of purpose or excitement and renewed sense of how you want to do good in the world. in the past month or so that i haven't gone to disneyland since i've renewed my pass, i was always "eh.." about the fact that i hadn't been in a while. but after going yesterday i am like "i want to go every weekend forever!!" which i'm sure will fade off in a few. but seriously.. it was awesome :P

wtf am i talking about? as if you didn't know. hahah.. yesterday beth, jimmy, sakura and i all took the days of work .. called in sick.. whatever to trek out to disneyland for "the happiest homecoming on earth" their 50th anniversary, which all the disney freaks who know waaaaay too much about the park for their own good (referred to as "the crazies") are quick to point out that may 5th is not the actual day the park opened, but it was actually in july. waking up and leaving earlier than i usually do for work (just a tad) and hoisting beth out of bed way earlier than she's used to, we were off to disneyland. thank goodness for the carpool lane because we made excellent time. where we were not making excellent time was the parking structure, the entrance to the park, and main street. beth is excellent for yelling obscenities at other cars who don't know how to merge (in the privacy of our own car of course). the park was PACKED... and trying to get through main street to where jimmy and sakura and his aunt were.. was impossible. i was all set to shove through the crowd.. but beth was not for being as rude as i was okay with. we finally got some sort of spot where we could somewhat hear, entertained ourselves with people watching, complained about how hungry we were, and they finally started. we saw little tiny leann rimes, and listened to some boring boring speeches and left as michael eisner was being introduced and booed. beth had to go to the bathroom and i was over it. but of course.. in that park your patience will always pay off (most of the time) and i left before christina aguilera and then julie andrews came on stage. not a huge deal because i couldn't really see them from the original position anyways.. so i traded being able to hear what was going on, for a partial view of the screen projections. i couldn't have both.. i had to pick one. they showed the commercials that have been airing where all the characters are racing to get to the park (which i was giddy to see since our company made them) and then ended it with the characters, and the little boy from the commercial, coming out and having this celebration on the stage. it was cute. fireworks shooting up from the castle.. the whole shebang. totally cute.

afterwards, beth and i rode on the new buzz lightyear ride.. (since we are smart and got fastpasses when we couldn't cram ourselves in at first), *insert picture of beth and jean on buzz lightyear ride here*.. guess what too bad i can't. because when i cut and paste the code it says it can't find it. dang it. oh well.. the picture is nasty and beth totally schooled me.. so i don't mind that no one will see it. hah. after that we ate some lunch.. FINALLY! and roved around the park doing things beth hasn't really done yet and trying to find special 50th stuff (including the 50 smashed pennies...!!! i was in penny heaven!!!) autopia, the disney train, mark twain riverboat, jungle cruise. it was neat.. they added a lot of stuff to some of the rides and it's definitely more spiffy. i love what they did to the jungle cruise. we got to watch this kid pull the sword out of the stone and looked at the different mosaics in the park (disney pictures consisting of pictures of people at disneyland throughout the years). we finally met up with jimmy, sakura and his aunt. looked for his cousin in the mosaics, rode matterhorn (which i think they definitely made faster!) and discovered that those turkey legs they sell are super yummy. later sakura, beth and i were off to search for the 50 mickey 50th logos hidden around the park, look at mosaics, penny machines, and souvenirs. while walking through the castle we saw people starting to camp out for the fireworks show and i decided i want to too. based on the warnings from nicole about wanting to be able to see the castle... i figured that right in front was the best place. everyone though i was nutso, and one of the crazies, but they are too.. so they didn't completely mind waiting with me. plus we were a little tired too. wanna know what time we started waiting? guess...

5pm :P and the fireworks started at 9:25pm... if it didn't rain... which it had been sporadically in the morning and was forecasted to in the evening. i wanted to wait anyways. beth, sakura and i waited, took turns going to get food, and it started raining at like 7pm or so... and people were miserable and wet, but still sat there. beth and i huddled until my umbrella and after awhile it stopped raining.. and people were judging the skies, seeing where the clouds were coming from... seeing if it was going to rain some more... sakura came back from getting food and jimmy joined us and we had an entertaining wait for a while... it was nice. we heard fantasmic going off and we were pretty sure that we were going to see the fireworks, that the perseverence had paid off :) and it did. we saw the new fireworks.. it was awesome.. so cute, and it was funny how into it everyone was. especially the people who waited 4 hours.... but hey.. if you're willing to wait that long, you'd better be into it right? it was good.. thought.. definitely worth the wait :P

afterwards we were going to leave, but spent some time doing penny searching and looking at more souvenirs. there's this photo album that i adore.... but the whole "retro disneyland" style of products they came up with are totally adorable. and i think i'll have to get it.. but i couldn't get it just yet. who pays $18 for a photo album?! i guess i will.. especially since i already paid $18 for my umbrella :P

trying to get out of the parking lot was a little bit of a mad house, but not too bad.. and finally we were on our way home. totally exhausted. i wanted to fall asleep so bad while i was driving home.. i hope beth didn't notice. it's okay that she knows now because we home safe and sound. :P the exhaustion has carried over to today.. and i am just plain tired. but i loved it.. i wish i could have seen some of the footage and what they showed on the news. my boss said he was thinking about me while he was watching the news. hah.. so he knows i'm a total slacker.. but that's what vacation days are for huh? :P

*and you thought you were rid of my long "this is what i did and ate today" posts huh. hah!

i am too tired to be original.. so here is a blog copied from myspace.

today is just a super sluggish morning. i don't know what it is. i didn't go to bed super late and got a good.. 6 or 7 hours of sleep.. which is not the greatest, but decent. i haven't had breakfast yet, maybe that's what slowing me down. maybe i should have opted for that bagel and injected the carbs in my system. does that really wake you up and give you more energy? i just tried to drink some water out of my sport top arrowhead bottle, and tried to pull open the top and it slipped from my mouth and water got everywhere. luckily no one saw.

*oh man.. another person just walked by with their bagel... mmm. it had smoked salmon on top.. good thing i don't really like that or i'd be super jealous*

last night i almost got into a car accident. not my fault at all.. before you start making snap judgements and snarky remarks about female asian drivers. i was driving to work and there were three lanes, i was in the middle, a big van truck on my right and two cars on my left. the first car on the left went in front of me, and then the truck followed him.. when i was right next to him. i dunno if he was following the guy and just didn't look, but i was so petrified for a few seconds. i'm glad that i didn't immediately swerve out of the way because then i would have slammed into the van truck and been S.O.L. i tend to swerve sometimes, and maybe it's because i subconcious know that no one's in the lane next to me, and i didn't this time because i knew the van truck was there. i just braked and honked so the guy didn't keep coming and just moved forward while i was standing still. what gets me is that he wasn't even getting off the freeway ramp, so there was no BIG hurry to get into my lane because they merge up ahead anyways. dummies.

before i left my mom gave me all these warnings about being careful when i'm driving by myself.. and if someone wants to squeeze in, just let them, and if the car/driver looks no good and that they might have a gun, call the CHP and get away. hahah.. maybe i am taking this too lightly... maybe it's because i'm not watching the news that i haven't been freaked out. but it just doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. i was listening to the radio and they said that the number of freeway shootings is actually lower than previous years. but i guess it's just a bigger deal now because there are deaths. or maybe it's just more publicized. like all the "finger" in foods incidents.. that's probably not anything new :P and i bet you child abductiosn are still going on.. but just because they're not in the news every 5 seconds people just forget about them. freeway shootings are the new child abductions :P

on one more saddish note.. driving to work i sometimes take lincoln instead of the freeways.. and i drive by where the cop got killed because some crook tried to hijack is car and there was major drama. there's a lot of flowers, stuffed animals and candles on the side of the road, and it always makes me a little sad when driving by. i remember last friday when they closed lincoln off.. i didn't know what had happened.. and i was all like "wtf.." i had a little trouble getting home, trying to figure out the side streets... but i got home okay and watched a lot of the news. sad sad stories.

i am happy though because tonight i have a hot date with kimberly, and then tomorrow is DISNEYLAND!!! for the 50th anniversary. hell. yes. it will be crowded like no other.. but i am hoping it will be fantabuloso. i can NOT wait to ride space mountain.. FINALLY.. and watch the fireworks... i love fireworks. i hope we get in :P

my hands smell like garlic.. it's kind of good, because it's a yummy smell, but bad bceause it's like.. what's wrong with me that my hands smell like garlic. it's just everytime that i cook with it.

i am becoming more and more enamored with the new mraz song. it's catchy.. very user friendly :) it'll probably be another remedy sized hit. it caught me off guard at first, probably mostly because i had heard all his produced songs on "waiting for my rocket to come" before in some sort of earlier version... but this was all brand brand new. but it's good... i think i will love his cd no matter what.

i am wearing these new shoes i bought awhile ago, was going to return, but sakura told me they were cute and i should keep them... so i decided to wear them today.. i never realized how high the incline is and how thin the soles and support is :P i usually have just platformy shoes... i guess everyone has to grow up sometime.

i want to go back to bed.

i just wanted to let you know that i'm home and safe.. not that anyone really cares i'm sure.. (i mean in the sense that they weren't really that worried.. not in the nobody loves me kind of sense. it's not that kind of day.)

anyhoo. coachella was way fun, even if i only went for one day. and yesterday i got to go to my sister's screening and hang out with my fam.. so it's all good.

i'm feeling a little under the weather, i thought i had recouperated yesterday.. but i guess not. i hope i don't have mono or something. bleh.
