me + snowboarding = so painful

:0

is it that i'm immature or just cool like joey/rachel that i snicker a little bit everytime my boss tells me that i have to buy some "lightwave dongles"

*snicker, snicker, snicker*

ahahah..

on a more clever note.. this is kind of cool. apple is having this contest where people who download a 100,000th song get an ipod nano, and the person who downloads the 1 billionth song gets this mega prize pack including $10,000 itunes gift card, a 20 inch iMac, and then 10 60gb video ipods. TEN!! 5 white and 5 black. seriously? who needs 10? i mean.. i guess you could keep one of each color, and then have ones for back up in case they break. or really - you're just going to make 8 friends. but 10 ipods seems a bit excessive.. just give them a g5 or something.

nevertheless, if you want to try winning you can utilize this. someone sent it out at work and i couldn't quite figure out the best way to utilize it, but i'm not trying to win - so if you're really into it, i hope it helps. and if you win those 10 ipods, remember who loves ya baby.

so i'm a little spooked. these near death or almost car crash experiences are happening to me a little way too often.

not cool, i tell you... not cool.

so i was driving home from vivian's house and about to go through an intersection and the light turned from red to green and as i'm driving through the intersection i hear this loud crash and see this car coming the opposite direction towards me and i realize that it could possibly hit me. hit me in the back, send me into a tailspin... yikes.

the car (like in slow-mo) passes by me and i drive through the intersection and look in my rearview mirrors. there's a truck that hasn't left yet, and a few other cars. i don't know whether i should stop, keep going, turn around... the trucks finally take off and go and i'm wondering if i should try and help. maybe i want to be more empathetic or helpful since nicole was just in a hit and run.

finally i turn around and try to see what's up, there's already a cop car there. that's good. i hover for a bit and finally park behind the cop car. i get out of my car, but the cop is in the middle of the street picking up the car's bumper out of the way. i second guessed whether it was actually a white minivan i saw fleeing from the scene, or maybe was i just mistaken. the cop isn't really paying any attention to me, so i just get back in my car and leave. i figure i can't really help. i drive away, but i'm scared. i do my usual post almost accident drive, driving 6mph and finding someone on the phone to console me.

sometimes i get scared about what i'd be missing out on in my life if i died. all the things i haven't done yet. do i hurry up and do them now? you never can tell what's going to happen to you. are all these almost accidents telling me that i should appreciate what i have? enjoy what i do have, make the most of what's going on? i know i've been questioning a few things in my life lately... maybe i shouldn't be questioning, maybe i should make lemonade out of lemons. it's all too complex for me to think about right now... but be safe my babies okay? it may not be your fault, but it could still happen to you. <3

my guilty pleasures worlds have collided.

hahaha... check this out:

moana

susan

jehan

kristen

tara
(her profile wasn't set to private before - all their profiles must have blown up recently)

if you know me, you know that i am HIGHLY addicted to myspace. and that i also love love LURVE the bachelor. guilty pleasures indeed. so after some surfing on monday i found that the lovely bachelorettes are also myspacers. which is so funny to me, because it makes me want to look up everyone who's anyone because most likely you will find them on myspace. not that i didn't know that before because i've spent a lot of time stalking co-workers, old school friends, random people... you can find almost anyone... it's cool - yet scary how accessible everyone is. BUT.. it's funny because it's not like these girls just signed up for myspace after the show, but they have been part of it for a long time too. and it's funny to read the comments from their actual friends, and plus to/from each other. i would have thought that none of them would talk to moana ever again - but they are leaving nice lovely messages to each other about how they miss each other so much. and that shows you the power of editing of reality tv. i am also very jealous because jehan has pictures with hot jerry from the jen scheft bachelorette season. probably at some bachelor reunion/celebration party. i wonder if they cut out the scene of the bachelor where the girls are like "oh you're on myspace, i am too?!" you know they did... that's part of regular introductory lingo nowadays.

my early pick was moana :) and she's TOTALLY going to win now that susan is out of the running. no way that sarah tennessee can beat her. puh-leeze. too bad i didn't actually take the $100 bet with jeff or i'd be way happier. haha.

i also love baking - and last night at target beth helped me find a cupcake stand. i wanted one so long ago - i almost bought one for $20 at michaels. i got the one from target for $5 on sale. yes!! this also prompted more hilarity from my mom:

my mom: what did you buy at target?
me: a cupcake stand
my mom: what?
me: a cup. cake. stand.
my mom: huh?
me: a STAND
my mom: like to decorate cupcakes with?
me: (realizing she thinks i'm saying sand) - no.. stand to put cupcakes in

one last thing...

congrats to the people at my work, we won the Visual Effect Society's (VES) awards for "Outstanding Visual Effects in a Music Video" for Nine Inch Nails Only... whoo hoo.. :)

just in time for valentine's day:

boys are idiots.

the end.

i really should be sleeping - especially if i want to be of any use later today.. but.. i just wanted to post a quick blog. i watched annapolis tonight. despite some people saying it wasn't very good and it doing so poorly in the box office (i still can't believe it's losing to big momma's house) i really liked it. but that's how everything goes - i usually like those movies that people say aren't so great :P it's the whole surpassing expectations thing. so yea.. i am cheesy and i cheered a little bit when "directed by justin lin" came up. i know.. cheesy. but so i think you all should go see it. please please beat big momma's house... the sequel nonetheless. it's not a totally military movie, yet not a total boxing movie - a nice little combination of both. plus a side of friendship and love story. and jordana brewster is really pretty by the way. and of course there is james franco with no shirt on :P but seriously.. go see annapolis - i mean.. it's not the riveting life altering movie - but it's feel good and enjoyable and does makes you care about the characters. it's gotta be better than big momma's house... although i bet #1 will be when a stranger calls or something.

ps. in the previews they had this scary scary preview for this movie with a boy on a swing. i can't tell you much more than that because i put my hands up to sheild my view and carol closed her eyes... we so were not having that scary movie business. i'm definitely glad i did because i'm sure i would be having nightmares. but i'm a little bit curious. anyone want to tell me what it's about (in the non-scariest way possible) :)

my gmail is down

my myspace is undergoing maintenance..

hmm. trusty blogger.. here you are.

hilarity from my mom:

my mom: are you coming home tomorrow?
me: mmm... i don't think so, i'm going to a contender fight tomorrow
my mom: a what?
me: a boxing match
my mom: boxing? you're going to go and be all buff and muscley (aka manly)
me: umm.. i'm going to watch, not going to fight in it
my mom: oh.

hahahah.. i thought it was funny.

update:

so i'm paying $35 for my doctor's office to provide me with copies of my own freaking medical records. there's a law that states that they are only allowed to charge you a reasonable cost (supplies, labor, postage) for you to mail your records. honestly - i think that $35 is a little high and unreasonable, but that whole "reasonable" thing is subjective. besides if they're going to charge me $15 to hand my papers to a copy service and i have to pay the copy service way more than $20.. so i guess whatever. they won't make copies until i pay them, so i had to give them my cc# and they say they can only make copies on tuesday & thursday, because they see patients all day on monday, wednesday, fridays. apparently - they are incapable of something i like calling doing more than one thing at a time, or rather, not being an idiot. but they can't make copies until next tuesday because the doctor is on vacation this week and he needs to okay the records to be sent out. (although you could question why they're so busy if the doctor is out. but i know that they bring in a temp doctor when my doctor likes to go on vacation, which is fairly often).

i know i'm making a big fuss over this little thing, but after all the shit having gone through - i think they are just being ridiculous. this is how they treat people - it's sort of retarded. they're so retarded. they're rude and retarded and never EVER go to see dr. irvine in hermosa beach because they're the absolute worst. i almost feel like typing up my "story" and sitting outside their offices and passing it out to people who would be going to see them. hah. my other chiropractor already gave the records and he says that people usually do it as a courtesy. my mom says that it's because i am currently a patient with the other chiro, and that i'm not with the first chiro, but regardless i don't think anything really justifies their behavior. assholes.
