sometimes.. i really don't understand how people work, and what they think. but i guess that's what makes this world so interesting, is that there's all these different people's with all these different views. although they don't agree with mine, who am i to say who's wrong and who's right. i just kind of need to let people do their thing, and i need to find my own thing to do, and be happy with it. i dunno.. this world confuses me sometimes.

hahaa.. so i jinxed myself. right after i blogged about how much i was blogging.. i stopped. oh well. i shouldn't even be blogging.. but oh well. hmm.. so much has happened in the past few days. i don't even know where to start really. Saturday night.. after i got off work, sakura and kathy and i went to chili's to celebrate her birthday once again... it was good times.. good food at chili's. (i'm a total piggy). sakura came over and i watched her drink and we ran around my house while brianne sat on my computer and tried to find cute boys online. hahaha.. i drove sakura home at 3am and came back and crashed... the next day was filled with circle k and school. i had the board meeting at 2pm and then went to julia's house that night to tape stuff for my sound class. it was way fun, we kept laughing, and she had a nice nice house that sits on the beach, beautiful!! it was really funny once because her roommate came out and used the house phone to call his cell phone because he couldn't find it, and it turned out being in his pocket. came back and worked on cki stuff until 7am where i just had to go to bed, until 9:30 and then did more cki stuff, ran errands, carted around Ryan because he was sick and carless, and then more cki stuff. tuesday i worked at 6am, got lost trying to find it, went to school after working extended hours, and almost fell asleep in class, went to the library afterwards, came home did homework and crashed. today i had to work at 7am, and then go to school and do cki stuff. yuck. tonight i relaxed, watched dawson's creek. yay. tomorrow my hours got cut so i only have to work until 11am.. which is nice.. i haven't decided if i'm going to do the selfish thing and go home, or go to school for cki junk yet. *sigh. but if i go to campus i'm going to get my tri-delt top picks of ucsd calendar. haha.. yay.. hottie boys in a calendar soon to be on my wall. whoo hoo! hmm.. anyways
there has been a lot of house drama lately. i don't know quite what to think or say about the whole thing. but it's nice because it's helped me find my real friends, and my real support. and i do really love my friends that have helped me through my difficult and awkward times. and it sucks because we may not have time to talk all the time.. but when you need them, they are there. thanks guys!! you know who you are. :) other than that... drowned in cki, started work doing shipment at frikkin 6am.. it sucks. yikes.. and school, three hour lectures are not so fun all the time. but we'll see. i don't know what to say.. i'm delirious.. i need to get out of here!!

before i forget about my semi-brush with greatness, i wanted to let the world know. so thursday night while i was driving down to la jolla to run random errands, before heading to pete's show, i was listening to 91x and they said to call for new found glory (with something coporate and finch) tickets. kimmy and i wanted to go to this concert so badly.. but i didn't have the money.. so i thought it would kick ass if i won tickets, and plus then you get to meet the band. i started calling on my cell phone (wasting all my daytime minutes of course), and whenever you call those things you never really expect anything (especially when you have to be caller 9), so i was just calling for fun. when i was in middle and high school i won a few things, like free cd's and tickets to MTV's Rock and Jock (which i was SO excited because Dean Cain was there), but anyways... so i called.. and finally it started ringing. it was kind of cool because a week or so again Vivian won some stuff off 92/1.. so my car would be the lucky car... well, for winning stuff off the radio.. not for anything else. :P so yeah.. it was ringing.. and then a guy picked up and said.. "hello, 91x.... you're caller number.... 8" and then hung up. much like the woman in the mervryn's commercial i screamed out "noooooooo" and almost crashed my car while driving on the 52. but yeah.. i was SOOOOOO close to winning those tickets i would have cherished... and i was so upset for being caller number 8. *sigh* although it is the story of my life... always the bridesmaid, never the bride. or some shit like that.
i'm so antsy right now.. and i don't even really know what to do. a harsh lesson has been learned this week.. and you know.. i don't know.. it's something that i should have learned a long time ago... but i guess it just really needs to be beat into my head... because this is the 3rd time that it's happened.. and i guess i didn't really learn my lesson until now. and who knows if i'm too nice or naive of a person to just let it slide this time. only time will tell i guess. but carrie and i were talking about people who step on other people, to get what they want, no matter the costs, and she said it was human nature.. survival of the fittest. and i say that it sucks. sure.. it's life and i can't avoid it. and i feel stupid for being an idealist where i think that people should be considerate of others.. and that's my fault i guess. pete told me once that i was a total doormat because i was so passive and never said anything to anyone that was bothering me, and today brianne reiterated the same thing. i know that this probably doesn't make any sense to anyone.. but i guess.. if you want to take anything from reading this.. please just be considerate of others. especially your friends. take their feelings into consideration, and try not to always put yourself before others. and if i'm ever too nice to other people who i shouldn't be nice to, give me a good whack in the head. thanks.

this has been such a weird/tiring/stressful week.. and it's only half over. yikes. well.. haha.. technically.. it's completely over for me..because i don't have classes thursday or friday! whoo!! wow.. how did i manage that? i don't even know.. but i know i pay for it the beginning of the week. hmm.. let's see. all fo my classes are really late, but because of circle k, i've had to go early. monday it was camptoons, tuesday and today it was korean bbq. so i get up way early.. go to school and whore myself out on library walk all day, and then go to a 3 hour class. fun huh? i swear.. i almost had a nervous breakdown in my car.. it was insane. the beginning of school is so stressful!! we're trying to organize things when things are the least organized, and trying to recruit members and convince everyone your club is better than any frat/sorority/club has to offer. with out 2.5 guys, nerdy girls, sakura, tanya and no alcohol policy. :) jk. anyways... so yeah.. it's been a busy week.. but my only comfort is that it'll all be over soon. i have just been way too stressed out trying to do too many things.. but whatevers.. i finally have my class schedule figured out... which is nice. 3 3-hour lectures that only meet once a week. it has it's up sides and down sides. i have no money though.. my rent was due on the 1st, and i haven't paid it yet, i can't afford to buy books, so i haven't been reading, and i have 3 assignments due next week, and i've figured out that i'm the purseholder of our apartment.
which brings me to another topic that i've been thinking about lately... about how i'm not really the "typical" college girl.. and how i could change, or if i want to be like that even. sometimes i feel so far behind everyone else, and so naive about things.. that sometimes i feel like i want to do things, not because i want to really do them, but just to know what everyone else is talking about, or to be able to say that i have. which is a shallow reason for everything.. i'm sure, but it makes me think, that these things that i do or do not do make me the type of person who i am.. and would i want to change that? or am i just sick of who i am and i want to "re-invent" myself. if only it was as easy as britney spears makes it seem. but at the same time.. even if i were to start trying new things... deep down inside.. i'm still that regular boring mousy girl who is uncomfortable out of her comfort zone.. so then what do i do?
yeah.... so that was a tangent that no one needs to read, but i felt like i wanted to say. i'm excited though because my sister said i'm going to get a new bed.. i'm getting a full size bed!! whoo hoo. i do feel like my current bed is a little too small for my big ass. and hopefully it'll be a little firmer so that my back doesn't groan at me anymore. but not too much that it's not enjoyable anymore. gotta find that happy medium. my sister is coming down to san diego for the asian film festival because her movie is in it. it's probably the first time in two years that i'll have seen her in san diego... even though she's not really coming to visit me. but it's kind of exciting..i want to go check out her hotel room. :) my weekend will be filled with cleaning my room, doing homework, doing circle k stuff and work. yikes.. but i do get to go out and play tomorrow night. i'm going to go see pete's band SheBlondeSwede play. haha.. even if my car breaks down.. i swear i'll be there!! and tonight i was watching dawson's creek. it was so sickingly disgusting (all the cutesy coupley dawson & joey romantic stuff), i couldn't even watch because i was going to cry. but then they ruined it with dawson having a girlfriend. but i think the absolute worst part was when he turned the whole thing around and blamed it on joey for "not knowing what she wants." how did that happen?!? geez.. i swear.. guys are such jerks. anyways.. i'll stop. i get to go to bed and not wake up until a decent hour like noon or something :) no more korean bbq!

wow.. i feel like i haven't blogged in forever.. although it really hasn't been that long. i think it's a combination with being too lazy, tired, moving, starting school, doing cki stuff and having only a dial up connection. although that doesn't prohibit me from staying online for like 3, 4 hours. which isn't so bad, cuz no one ever calls me anyways, except now i share the phone line with roommates, and they're popular as all hell. anyways... hmm.. so since then.. monday i cleaned and packed. well mostly i slept, ran some errands, and sat around on my ass because i wasn't motivated enough to pack. and then when i mom came home, i ran upstairs and pretended like i had been packing the whole day. :) the packing went late into the night.. and i finished at like 3am, fell asleep on the couch at 4 while dubbing some tapes, woke up at 7am when i dragged myself upstairs to my bed, and slept until 11am (tuesday), packed up my car and left. got to sakura's house (with my entire life in my car) at 2pm, right on time for the board meeting, 4 hours later.. i finally got to go home. where i unpacked my car.. (whew) and went to dinner with Vivian at World Famous where they had $1 shrimp tacos.. they were soooooo good. yum. yeah. too bad that i so poor that i can't even afford $1 tacos. yeah.. on top of not being able to afford anything.. i have to pay a $15 charge for vivian's check bouncing (even though I wrote her a check) and pay a $35 parking ticket for my meter being expired for 5 minutes while I was in a meeting for cki. CRAPPY.
hmmm... what else. school on thursday.. was SO not feeling the school thing. i didn't really like either of the classes that i had.. so i'm thinking i might drop them (don't worry.. i'll sign up for new ones.. hopefully). friday.. handed out camptoons.. got on the wrong parking shuttles (and yes.. parking is as atrocious as ever), chilled until i had to go back to school to work at the vball game. it was pretty exciting.. there was a TON of people there because the dept. did this free food, and big promotion dealio to get all the people out there. and we won against cal po-po.. it was good news. it was kind of sad.. there was this little stuffed mustang that they were beating and kicking around. rhiannon and i sat around and made snide comments.. it was fun :) after that Vivian, Emily, Brianne and i went to the Pike part that i swear i was going to fall into the pool, and was crowded with waaaaay too many people (hoochified girls... prolly freshman), went to Mark's house after that, and then jack's house after that. i was just following my drunk roommates around (drunkenly) to wherever they thought the boys were at. hmm.. so i passed out on some guy's couch, and got finally got to go home at 3am where i managed to brush my teeth and drink water before passing out in bed.
woke up today.. in pretty good shape.. just thirsty. bummed and lazed around (after swearing i was going to be productive). and after watching sappy movies like america's sweethearts, someone like you and serendipity.. i dragged myself to work. it was a good game... we played csusb, which is ranked #1, and ucsd was really good... but in the end we lost :( I got to see tanya.. and her parents (who are so cute) were visiting her. came back and chilled.. cleaned my room (finally!) while listening and prancing around to britney spears. heheh... afterwards.. pete came over.. and he sat around and endured emily, vivian, brianne and i being retarded.. and was thoroughly enthralled about how girls could multitask and carry on multiple conversations all at once. yeah man.. chicks rock. hahaha. he strung the guitar justin lent me.. and played a little bit of stuff.. while i sat there with a dopey grin and an amazed look on my face.. i totally want to learn how to play the guitar... and here i am now.. chillin at 5am (yikes).. talking to cool philly and blogging.. being scared at the ghettoness of my neighborhood because i'm hearing glass shatter and car alarms going off, and when i called the police they said they couldn't do anything about it because it was so long ago. god dang it.. all i wanted was someone to drive up and down the street once to make sure everything was okay.. what other important business could they be doing at 5am!? geez!! protect my safety here people.. isn't that what your job is? ugh.. i am not a fan of the police right now. anyways.. i should go.. i have cki business to take care of tomorrow.. good morning!!
oh yeah.. happy belated birthday manny and mike salamanca!!
manny: thanks for the birthday wishes
jean: you're welcome.. did you have a fun birthday?

ALRIGHT. so i'm entirely too frustrated because my day has not shaped up so well, and it's continuing to be sucky. my email is being way too slow for my liking, but it's stuff that i need to read, so i figure i'll blog while i wait. i'll probably be done before my inbox even appears. damn the studentlink. anyways... hmm.. friday i worked. it was okay. my manager was is a pissy mood, and decided to yell at me. i mean.. it was things that i was doing wrong, but they were things that everyone was doing wrong. and it was more like his inconsistency that made me angry. and also the fact that he said that he felt like i wasn't dedicated to doing my job well, where i got really upset and offended because i busted my ass to be there, and for someone to say that makes it seem like all the effort was for nothing. anyways.. it's done, and i'm never going back. (for real this time). maybe to another store, but not that one.. for sure.. just like there will always be a special hatred in kathy and my hearts for the UTC Gap. bastards.
anyways.. came home and tried to pack so i could leave on saturday. yeah.. didn't happen. instead.. i rushed out of Torrance on Saturday with my things unpacked and went to the banquet (where there was good food at least) and then rushed down to OB to the Anya Marina show with Jason Mraz as the guest. so here's a story that will make me sound completely lame, but i figure i'll say so anyways. i got really good parking that night, and when i was walking to the entrance, there was a little gated area behind Java Joe's. and i thought it was someone's backyard. and then i heard guitar music and a little bit of singing and i thought it was cute that someone who liked to sing lived behind Java Joe's and liked to play his music outside. and then i thought that "wow this person is really good" and then I realized it was Jason Mraz warming up and felt all giddy and squeamish and resisted all urges to start the fawning before he even went up on stage. yes.. i'm retarded.. i know.
anyways.. the show was really good. (both of them). annie and i hung out with jon, and then afterwards i pimped annie out using my footage of her at the hotel cafe during jason's say anything game. we're a good team. philly and i sported our "i *heart* soundguy" goods and entertained people. philly is so fun, i'm glad that i went to the show and got to talk to her. i'm glad she convinced me to go. haaha.. she was one of the bigger reasons why i was going, so i'm glad i had a good time with her. after it all annie and i chit chatted for a little bit, and then i got home at 2am to the sounds of my roommate and her friend. yeah.. it was interesting. anyways.. got up the next day, did the marshall fair for recruiting for circle k. we got some people to sign up which is exciting. drove home (while trying not to fall asleep). fell asleep once i got home, hung out with my sister a little bit, and then back home to do more of the same doldrums.
today has been craptacular so far with bad drivers, people wasting my time, no good news, and me stressing out because i have to pack and clean by noon tomorrow so i can be there in time for the board meeting. (and i also have to prepare for that). and i also realized that masquerade ball is only a little over a month away. what the heck.. where did my summer go?!

mm.. today was an interesting day. good and bad. it was the first day that i had a break and a little bit of normalcy in my life. i didn't have to work at the gap today, which was nice. it kind of sucks as well because i'm not making the money. but it was way nice to sleep in and not have to rush back to go to work on time.. or stand on my feet in platforms all day!! but i was still so tired all day, and i took my car in to get looked at, and the men said there was nothing wrong. i swear there's something wrong, like it's getting there.. but they won't fix it.. so i just have to drive around until my car completely breaks down again. :P so they can make the most money possible out of me. dang them.
anyways.. here's the bad of my day at work today: i had to go to the post office and drop something off for work. so i stood in this ridiculously long slow moving line and then this crazy irate man came in and started complaining to a worker about how he had to wait in this line even though he was home all day but still got one of those "sorry we missed you" notices. she dismissed him and made him stand in line, which made him even madder, and stood behind me muttering things. i was quite scared. he said something really rude to me once and i just kind of ignored him, and then he started hacking and coughing (on purpose i tell you) and right in my hair. like i could FEEL it ... and then i tried to step away to not be in the direct line of his nasty germs, so he took a step closer to me and coughed again!! SO rude. some guy was all like "cover your mouth man." which i was grateful for (thank you!!) but the damage was already done.. i felt very gross and diseased. ew.
okay.. good part of my day that makes me love my work: i went downstairs to drop off a package at the guard. and the elevator doors open and i see this really hot guy talking on his cell phone. we exchange hi's and how are you's and then i realize that he's NICK LACHEY from 98 Degrees. I totally choked. I wanted to like stop and say something to him, maybe make him serenade me.. but he was on his phone.. probably with his fiancee or something (grr). I walked over to the guard and checked the sign in sheet, and for sure it was him. *sigh* i called Nicole and told her that i saw him, and at first she was like "who's that.. he sounds familiar" and then once she realized who it was she was like "OH MY GOD" hehe.. i locked myself in my car to be all giddy so the people who worked there wouldn't think i'm super retarded. *sigh.. nick lachey*
other than that.. not too much. watched big brother 3, i should probably go pack and clean soon. seeing as how i'm going to sd and have NOTHING packed. yeah.. good job jean. :P don't miss me too much this weekend. *muah*

god.. i feel like it should be next week already. with all the work i've been doing the past few days... i am SOOOO tired. again.. not complaining.. just.. uhh.. commenting i suppose. friday i worked, saturday i worked as well (that's also a problem with working in a job that doesn't give you weekends off. the days of the week just blur together, and it doesn't matter ... you just can't figure what day it is anymore.) sunday i drove down to sd with beth at 5am.. worked at the rough water swim. it was the first time i had gone, so i didn't know exactly what we were doing. but we had beach duty. and when i got dressed at 5am i was freezing so i put on jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. thank goodness i put a tank top underneath. but so yeah.. needless to say when high tide rolled it.. i got very wet.. my jeans didn't appreciate it so much. and one time the water came up and took away my flip flops that i was wearing. so yes.. and as i cautiously tried to go out and save my shoes and not get too wet, another giant wave came.. and i was done. so i just walked out with the water up to my thighs and grabbed my shoes. i'm sure the people up on the cliff were having a good laugh, i know all of the circle k people did. i could hear them. anyways.. it was fun... those people who swim that are amazing. haha.. all of us girls got excited when the young men's competition was up and hundreds of hot guys in speedos piled up on to the beach. yum. haha. anyways.. on top of getting all wet with salty beach water all day, i also got sunburnt and nasty tan lines. sigh.. the things i do for circle k. later on went to my new apartment.. it's pretty cool.. a little empty .. but i also don't live there yet. i'm pretty excited.. i stole one of the giant posters from gap and i'm going to hang it up in the living room wall. the guys pretty cute.. too bad i can't steal that abercrombie shit. :) invited people over for dinner. hahah we walked to ralphs to buy groceries. yeah.. i live behind target and ralphs.. (ghetto) and down the street from el cotixan's and jack in the box. dangerous.
hmm.. monday worked at 5am, tuesday worked at 4:30am, interned at 1pm, met with Joan at 6pm, wednesday interned at 9am, worked at 2pm. my life is crazy. tomorrow i'm not scheduled.. and i'm kind of looking forward to it. although they're probably going to call me... i just might have to go.. i'm that broke. although i'm interning.. so we'll see. hmm hmm hmm.. not much. this weekend going to san diego to move stuff. going to catch my friend pete and his band she blonde swede play.. you wanna come? it'll be a good show.... maybe we'll also have margaritas at ryan's new pad in PB. haha.. non-alcoholic of course.. cuz i'm not 21. :P but i'm tired.. and have mucho things to do. so goodnight foolios!

la di da di da... i'm at my internship.. with not so much to do.. so i thought i'd blog because i'm "grounded" at home. yes.. i did say grounded. my mom told me i wasn't allowed to talk on the phone or go on the computer until i cleaned my room. yikes. beth was trying to tell me how in high school her parents always made her do chores before she could see Ryan... but then i reminded her that she was also in high school. :P i don't know.. i mean.. i know my room is messy, but i also have had no time to clean it, always being at work or interning. and when i do come home, i'm so pooped that i'm not all like "hey.. let's clean!" *sigh.. i don't know.. only a few more weeks. but beth did agree that this entire summer my mother hounded me about not having a paying job.. and now that i do, she's telling me that it's bad to have such a lame job, that takes up too much time and energy for not enough pay. lame-o.
thursday i got up early early to take international vice president carrie (haha.. isn't that what you told me to call you instead :P) i got up while the sky was still dark and fought traffic to be carrie's bitch. hahah.. but she paid for my breakfast, so i guess that makes her my sugar mama. anyways.. came back and napped and then went to the dentist. yuk.. they made my mouth sore all day. :P then my internship. and then i watch PETE SAMPRAS beat Andy Roddick in 3 sets. the game was amazing and after all that talk about how he should quit and stuff.. he played so so so well. i was so excited. the girl from work thought i was super lame. so anyways.. it rained.. yuk.. i went home, but on the upside.. i got to watch Big Brother 3! whoo hoo! i was so bummed because I always miss it because of work.. but yay! no work. it was really good. i'm so sad that Roddy got voted off. boo boo boo. hmm.. talked to nicole and helped her with her budget a bit, and then talked to beth.. all while cleaning my room and listening to good music. :) i got my Live cd (jason mraz)... yay.. i missed it cuz i lent my copy to beth.
one last thing.. it occurred to me yesterday that i hate guys when they use those like "affectionate" terms towards you.. hahha especially if you like them, and they know it, but they don't like you back. it should be outlawed or something. it's not fair because it's such a manipulative tool, and they soooooo know it... and it totally messes with your mind, when really it doesn't mean anything at all. grrr.. but have a good day anyways!

i don't even know what to write, but i feel as if i should blog... but i' feel like such a work horse... i've been working non-stop, and due to my excellent slacker skills, i still find time to go online. i'm horrible.. i should really be cleaning my room right now.. but anyhoo.. for the past two weeks i've been interning as well as working at the gap. and yes.. it is by my own choice (happy carrie?) but sort of not.. because i need to keep the internship for my experience and just to be responsible and all that crap. but i need the gap to get paid. thus.. i run back and forth like a oompa loompa. i guess it's kind of good that it's only for this month and i didn't have to do it for the whole summer. hmm.. do you have no idea what i'm talking about.. let's see what my life has been like lately...
Monday: Labor Day.. national holiday.. everyone was enjoying the sunshine and the hotness and i was working.. joy. came home tired as crap.
Tuesday: work in the morning (8-11), get my car.. which cost $1000 to get fixed.. yikes!, 12-5 interning (keeping in mind it takes me roughly 45 to get there), and then i got called into work a split shift so it was back to the gap from 6-10. on the good news i had a hot date with International Vice President Chen (hehehe) which was fun because with both of us being so busy but with different schedules it's a lot different from when i used to see her everyday (hah.. when we used to "work out"). but i had to stay late an extra half an hour to finish replenishing, so she had to wait in the Ralphs parking lot (sorry!!!) went home and crashed
Today: woke up, went to my intern from 9-2, work from 3-10, crazy... i didn't even have time to eat lunch in between. i am pooped!
it's not like i'm trying to complain really... just i dunno.. letting people know.. haha.. maybe i just want the attention. and although i am busy busy.. my mother still finds a way to nag me and tell me that i'm not doing enough. grrr. second child syndrome sucks. anyways.. back to the horse tomorrow, friday, saturday and sunday.. blah blah blah. but it's good.. i guess when i get my fatty paycheck it'll make it all worth it.. i hope. love ya! *muah!*

yikes.. it's september already.. school starts soon.. but not as soon as manny! hahahaah ... sucker starts on tuesday. hmm.. it's been a busy few days.. as it will continue through the end of the month. i don't know whether i should glad that i'm not just sitting around bored.. or perturbed that it seems like i hardly have any free time where i'm not completely pooped. i just started working at the gap again for a month, and on top of my internship, i'm barely at home (which can be good), but running around like a work horse for all the hours of the day. but i do get paid at the gap, which is good.. although with the money that i spend there i probably spend more than i make. but i've been good and resisting lots of little things.. and bought jeans (4 pairs for $100) but that's something that i really needed.
other than that.. my life hasn't been too interesting. talked to people online here and there. went to a tv taping for circle k.. it was fun. i made joe and beth go. beth and i drooled over sean maguire while joe drooled over carmen electra.. yes.. she guest starred on the show.. see.. you foolios should have come. but.. in sad news.. my car died on friday night while taking beth home. thank goodness i wasn't on the freeway though.. or else i would have caused an accident for sure. but it was midnight, and traumatizing and my car is pretty angry at me, and now i feel like i'm 12 years old because i have to get a ride from my dad everywhere i go. which is a pain in the ass for when i go to work (which is everyday). i'm hoping that if i get a rental car, maybe i can get a suv or something.. hahaha. last night i had interesting conversations with Philly, who I met from being a rabid fan of Jason Mraz. we had really good talks about circle k and key club, and jason and other good stuff.. but it prompted me to have a weird dream last night that had jason mraz in it.. but also the cast of 90210, plus all my circle k friends. crazyness. but i must go because i have to clean.. yuk.. i hate living at home with my way-too-asian parents. haha.. but i also have to work tomorrow... but at least i get paid time and a half!! whoo! let's just hope i don't spend it. :P
oh yeah.. and read beth's latest blog. it's soooo funny. and too cute. :) (it should be the one about jason mraz). it says at the top "this is to make jean happy" or something like that. plus carrie blogged for me... not all the scandalous details that i wanted.. i know you're hiding something! but nonetheless it was because of me.. hahaha.. man.. i feel so loved (and conceited) right now. hah. toodles!

okay.. as promised.. here's what happened for the past few weeks.. i hope you didn't miss me too much. ;)
- august 3rd and 4th -
i don't really remember much of what happened this weekend... (man.. i must be getting old).. or maybe nothing too important happened. i know on saturday i drove to brea for joey's birthday dinner. a bunch of his friends from cal po po getting him drunk at this silly restaurant, bobby mcgee's, where they embarass you worse than they do at friday's. but it was fun. sunday.. i just slept and packed.. i think that was it. i didn't sleep at all that night cuz our flight was at 7am, so we left at 5.. so i just packed and stayed up cuz i didn't think i'd be able to wake up.
- august 5th - 9th -
wow... if i blog in clusters of days.. maybe it won't take as long as i thought. hmm.. nevermind.. that's not going to work.
- august 5th -
my dad drove sakura and i to the airport, tired as all hell we checked in and waited in the long ass security line. it went all the way to the other terminal.. jeebus. but i guess it's necessary.. although lines like that don't really prevent what happened a few months ago. but i don't see much of a difference besides the fact that they make a few people take off their shoes. i don't know why the lines are SO much longer.. i guess they just take a longer look at your bags and such, and well check your id's.. i guess that's pretty time consuming. anyways.. we ate mcdonald's (yum.. their hashbrowns are the best) and then got to the gate right as they began boarding. yay us. got on the plane, and tried to sleep as much as possible. in between us eating chocolate, laughing and pushing each other around, we just slept.. or tried to. got to orlando in the afternoon... greeted by it's hot and sticky humid weather.. blah... got picked up by some lssp people - pic, kathleen, ricky.. yada yada yada. sakura and I walked around kissimmee (what a cute name for a city!!), ate lunch at the Sizzler.. yum.. and chilled in the hotel room, laughed, screamed. Watched Fear Factor and I made Sakura do our own version of Fear Factor jumping from bed to bed to prove that she was a triple jumper in high school. hahaha.. we were rolling around on the floor.. the people next to us must have thought we were crazy. tee hee. had the LSSP orientation that night.. haha.. our teams were organized by rooms.. and our team had 7/8's cal nev ha people.. so much for meeting new members. :P It was fun though, our room was the UCSD girls and we were next to Carrie and the CSULB girls and Lauren and we opened the connecting door.. it was a big ol slumber party.
- august 6th, 7th, 8th -
the kids came, we tried to make them go through drills... but they just wanted to play. and they were better than most of us.. hahaha but it was fun. we braved the heat with lots of water and sunblock and breaks. i got to cook spaghetti on tuesday night.. yum. On wednesday, the kids came again... but I was feeling kind of sick, so I abandoned the team.. (sorry!) and went to go rest.. but later got dragged out to buy food and cook, since i'm such a whiz in the kitchen. hahahah. bought and cooked hot dogs for 140 people.. man the people at walmart thought we were insane.. cleaned up, and then went right back to walmart to shop for dinner. cooked jambalaya (i'm being cultured.. whoo hoo) and cleaned up after that as well. That night in our room as we (or maybe just me and Sakura) worked diligently on the team headbands (go FIRE!) I also played Big Brother 3 nazi. damn Ryan who likes to talk while I'm watching my tv.. hung out in the cnh boy's room doing some quality old school cal nev ha bonding time... we're nuts. THURSDAY!! was tournament day!! yay! our super studly team (me, sakura, kieu, tanya, ryan skophammer, chris anderson, jackie (from nj) and dan schroeder (from az)) - and our awesome kids (cc, kinisha, johnelle and kevin (who flirted with sakura)).. we rocked.. haha.. i sprained my ankle in the first game and hobbled around being a gimpy cheerleader. the fourth and last game.. we played a team we didn't like too much and vowed to beat.. so I played hurt ankle and all (joey.. you should be proud). until i got tripped and knocked over by a big defender... and hailes caught that moment on his digital camera.. haha stupid hailes and his camera.. grr.. anyways.. we still won.. so we rock. :) said goodbye to the kids.. people cried.. and then we chilled. a big group of us ordered pizza and had a pool party at the hotel. megan was kind enough to order and pick up all the stuff (whoo hoo) and we had tons of leftovers. once again ... played big brother nazi that night :) and then got forced to go clubbing at Pleasure Island. yes.. forced.. by carrie. :P but it was all good.. so pic, maggie, megan, carrie, sakura and i headed off to orlando's downtown disney and off to Pleasure Island. it's 8 clubs for $20 although we only went to one... met up with nicole, manny, armando and alice and danced the night away. it's like tj, but no hoochie girls taking off their clothes. (good)... after visiting some and getting lost some.. we finally got home and slept.
- august 9th -
DISNEYWORLD!!!! YAAAAAAY!! sakura and i dragged our lazy out-late-clubbin butts outta bed and hopped on the ghetto shuttle to disneyworld. went to the magic kingdow (which is like disneyland).. LOVED IT...we ran all around the park hitting the big stuff like we were five years old. if my ankle wasn't sprained i bet we would have skipped. we contemplated getting one of those electric wheelchairs for me.. hahah.. maybe we wouldn't have to wait in any lines.. but i decided not too cuz i didn't want to look like a dork. after the fun and shopping and eating, we went to Epcot. we were really tired so we just shopped and looked around a little bit.. and took lots of photos of course. then met megan, kieu, ryan, hailes, lauren and tanya at this moroccan restaurant where hailes belly danced!! hahahahaha watched the illuminations show, and then sakura and i rushed off hoping the shuttle didn't leave us.. we got there right when it was gettting ready to go. yay. went back and packed to get ready for our full day ahead of us the next day...
- august 10th -
MORE DISNEYWORLD!! whoo hoo. we finished off Epcot and did MGM in record time. took a massive amount of pictures. sakura and i got obsessed with those imprinted pennies (where they smush the penny and make a design) i'm mad.. in the whole tour of the nations.. they had a penny for each country.. but NO China didn't have a penny.. and Japan's was in Morocco.. WHAT THE HECK.. man.. good thing my sister wasn't there.. she would have made all asians ban disneyworld for life. anyways.. ran around all the parks like maniacs trying to collect pennies.. went back to our new hotel (the convention hotel) and checked in... figured out we were in tower frikkin seven.. the furthest one out.. in the boonies. it was such a far far far walk. thank god nicole from wum gave us a ride as we collapsed on her doorstep. although.. the first person i saw at ICON was the one and only Pete Holiday.. *i'm so lucky* so yeah.. went to our fantabulous 8 person suite... showered, rested, trekked back to the convention center for opening session. later did candidate stuff, blah blah blah.
- august 11th -
workshops, caucusing - walked with manny.. which is an interesting side to be on.. rather than inside the caucus rooms.. there's a lot that goes on outside that you wouldn't think about. nothing really important, just different, governor's gala, district awards - congrats carrie! - and then the desert reception and then the dance and then hugs and kisses party in the ohio suite. fun fun fun... i sat around and talked to mary and justin during the night and met some cute boys from t-o and carolinas (yes.. those carolinas boys again.. hahah)
- august 12th -
house of delegates, sightseeing time (where i just stayed in a slept.. yah.. party pooper i know), then caucusing.. it was a busy night. there were a bunch of parties that night.. walked around a few, just kind of stayed in. oh i remember what i did.. i cleaned the suite and set up for ryan's "surprise" party (you're welcome ryan).. hung out a little bit, and then just kind of chilled. slept with nicole and joe that night (ooh la la) cuz sean came and slept with the ucsd girls, and i didn't want to sleep on the sofabed or with ryan (and be the homewrecker again this year) :P it's funny our suite was more of the district hang out suite... which is ironic because it was so far.. it would have made more sense to congregate in tower 5.. but us foolios are lazy and made everyone walk their asses out here. hahah.
- august 13th -
the last "real" day of icon. hmm.. in the morning we had more awards.. ucsd won 1st place in all of inter-frikkin-national for scrapbook.. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! sakura was weeping a little.. it was so cute. we were so excited and almost ran cindy over when we went up on stage. i'm sure i was smiling like an idiot. and third place in newsletter .. haha.. we got all excited and jumped up and down.. and then sat back down. i didn't realize that i was supposed to go up and get the award.. haha.. so i ran up there all retardedly. had another house of delegates.. congrats carrie! now she's the new international vp.. hahah.. i tried to make the same fuss as i did with pete.. but carrie will hit me.. hahahaha i can see it in her eyes. that afternoon there was a wicked thunderstorm that was fun to watch. sakura and i got in the jacuzzi in our suite (awesome!) and i screamed because this guy i knew josh was on elimidate. haahahah i knew he was on it, but i never thought i was going to see it, and i did.. and it was the best. hahaah. did the whole farewell session thing.. cnh got distinguished district for last year WHOO HOO!! man.. we did good. last years district board ran up while the district chanted (even when the other district was getting their award) we're such annoying brats... hahahhha. it was exciting though to be part of it all. watched carrie get installed and they announced the winners for trustees and then it was time for the last dance. hahahah.. there was food .. meatballs and nachos and good healthy stuff like that.. so naturally sakura, hailes and i sat outside and ate while everyone else was dancing. watched carrie whore it up on the dance floor, as well as other people.. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING! dissapointed when i saw the cute boy that i had my eye on dance with some other hoochie... hahaha. that night did laundry, packed, gave Pete his "Holiday" candles from the Gap (i'm the best present giver), swam a little, people came over... blah blah blah. i don't know if it was because of my ankle, because we were in tower 7, the humidity.. but i wasn't all over the place like usual.. which is good and bad. but i didn't talk to as many people as i wanted ... just hung out with the roomies.. which isn't bad. but i thought i would talk to mary or pete or nick more.. i mean.. these people were all busy (especially pete and the ladies.. hahaha) .. but still but whatevs.. it was enjoyable.. and i just lived vicariously through tanya anyways. :)

sad.. time to go home, packed up our stuff, did some last minute souvenir shopping, got a taxi and ryan, kieu, sakura, tanya, hailes and i loaded up for the airport. everyone except kieu was on the same flight.. hahah.. so the 5 of us got those seats facing each other.. slept on top of each other, braved the annoying drunk people next to us, and held each others hands as we were startled by the sudden dip the plane took in turbulence. ryan left us in phoenix, and us lax'ers headed up to the front, slept some more and gushed about icon some more (and how we won first place in scrapbook.. guess who i sat next to.. :P) got to the airport, my dad, tanya's parents, hailes' family and jimmy were all there. i got my luggage went home and slept. whoo..
there it is.. finally. it seemed really quick, but it was fun.. i was ready to go home by the end of it. and my ankle is still sore some, my bags are still only half unpacked and our 8 rolls of film have been developed.. i had a good time at icon.. :)
hmm.. the rest of my life? hahah.. went back to my internship. i'm SO mad... my future husband Eli Swanson came in while i was at ICON.. (that's it!! i'm quitting circle k!!) he came in TWICE.. and i wasn't there.. damn it! according to Tosha, he looked goooood, and just my luck, he's not coming in anymore because he's quitting acting and going to medical school... damn damn damn!!! ugh... i think i'm going to go to columbia med next year. :P there goes my one chance at true happiness. hahaha.. i still can get his cell phone number and address! jk. (well not really.. but i don't have the guts to do that.. plus i don't want to go to jail for actually being a stalker).. i'll just stay slightly obsessed. hmm.. went to benji's family's karaoke party. it was interesting.. and very benji. hahah.. if you know benji, you know what i mean. saw jason mraz last thursday.. he was AMAZING as always. there was this kick ass 17 year old saxophone guy who played with Jason and Toca and Ian.. it was great. annie came and went up during the say anything game and rocked everyone's world. and beth came and now is just as in love with jason mraz. she was all "can he play at my wedding?" ahahhahaha we went to mel's diner afterwards, and i figured out that one time i drove in fatty traffic for 2 hours to see howie day after work at the virgin megastore on sunset.. i drove in a circle going the wrong way! went down the 101s to the 110s and then back up the 405n to get there... kind of like a triangle.. i went down and up the two diagonal sides instead of straight across. yes yes yes.. i'm a horrible person with directions.. i know. :P anyways.. not much since then.. chillin.. i started working at the gap today.. but most of my friends quit so it's not as fun. boo. but at least i'm getting paid. interning, working, not much else.. ooh.. tomorrow there's a big brother on! whoo hoo. and i'm tired now.. babbled too much.. but i applaud you for reading all the way to the end if you have. you are a marathon blogger reader ... hi-five!

i don't really remember much of what happened this weekend... (man.. i must be getting old).. or maybe nothing too important happened. i know on saturday i drove to brea for joey's birthday dinner. a bunch of his friends from cal po po getting him drunk at this silly restaurant, bobby mcgee's, where they embarass you worse than they do at friday's. but it was fun. sunday.. i just slept and packed.. i think that was it. i didn't sleep at all that night cuz our flight was at 7am, so we left at 5.. so i just packed and stayed up cuz i didn't think i'd be able to wake up.

wow... if i blog in clusters of days.. maybe it won't take as long as i thought. hmm.. nevermind.. that's not going to work.
- august 5th -
my dad drove sakura and i to the airport, tired as all hell we checked in and waited in the long ass security line. it went all the way to the other terminal.. jeebus. but i guess it's necessary.. although lines like that don't really prevent what happened a few months ago. but i don't see much of a difference besides the fact that they make a few people take off their shoes. i don't know why the lines are SO much longer.. i guess they just take a longer look at your bags and such, and well check your id's.. i guess that's pretty time consuming. anyways.. we ate mcdonald's (yum.. their hashbrowns are the best) and then got to the gate right as they began boarding. yay us. got on the plane, and tried to sleep as much as possible. in between us eating chocolate, laughing and pushing each other around, we just slept.. or tried to. got to orlando in the afternoon... greeted by it's hot and sticky humid weather.. blah... got picked up by some lssp people - pic, kathleen, ricky.. yada yada yada. sakura and I walked around kissimmee (what a cute name for a city!!), ate lunch at the Sizzler.. yum.. and chilled in the hotel room, laughed, screamed. Watched Fear Factor and I made Sakura do our own version of Fear Factor jumping from bed to bed to prove that she was a triple jumper in high school. hahaha.. we were rolling around on the floor.. the people next to us must have thought we were crazy. tee hee. had the LSSP orientation that night.. haha.. our teams were organized by rooms.. and our team had 7/8's cal nev ha people.. so much for meeting new members. :P It was fun though, our room was the UCSD girls and we were next to Carrie and the CSULB girls and Lauren and we opened the connecting door.. it was a big ol slumber party.
- august 6th, 7th, 8th -
the kids came, we tried to make them go through drills... but they just wanted to play. and they were better than most of us.. hahaha but it was fun. we braved the heat with lots of water and sunblock and breaks. i got to cook spaghetti on tuesday night.. yum. On wednesday, the kids came again... but I was feeling kind of sick, so I abandoned the team.. (sorry!) and went to go rest.. but later got dragged out to buy food and cook, since i'm such a whiz in the kitchen. hahahah. bought and cooked hot dogs for 140 people.. man the people at walmart thought we were insane.. cleaned up, and then went right back to walmart to shop for dinner. cooked jambalaya (i'm being cultured.. whoo hoo) and cleaned up after that as well. That night in our room as we (or maybe just me and Sakura) worked diligently on the team headbands (go FIRE!) I also played Big Brother 3 nazi. damn Ryan who likes to talk while I'm watching my tv.. hung out in the cnh boy's room doing some quality old school cal nev ha bonding time... we're nuts. THURSDAY!! was tournament day!! yay! our super studly team (me, sakura, kieu, tanya, ryan skophammer, chris anderson, jackie (from nj) and dan schroeder (from az)) - and our awesome kids (cc, kinisha, johnelle and kevin (who flirted with sakura)).. we rocked.. haha.. i sprained my ankle in the first game and hobbled around being a gimpy cheerleader. the fourth and last game.. we played a team we didn't like too much and vowed to beat.. so I played hurt ankle and all (joey.. you should be proud). until i got tripped and knocked over by a big defender... and hailes caught that moment on his digital camera.. haha stupid hailes and his camera.. grr.. anyways.. we still won.. so we rock. :) said goodbye to the kids.. people cried.. and then we chilled. a big group of us ordered pizza and had a pool party at the hotel. megan was kind enough to order and pick up all the stuff (whoo hoo) and we had tons of leftovers. once again ... played big brother nazi that night :) and then got forced to go clubbing at Pleasure Island. yes.. forced.. by carrie. :P but it was all good.. so pic, maggie, megan, carrie, sakura and i headed off to orlando's downtown disney and off to Pleasure Island. it's 8 clubs for $20 although we only went to one... met up with nicole, manny, armando and alice and danced the night away. it's like tj, but no hoochie girls taking off their clothes. (good)... after visiting some and getting lost some.. we finally got home and slept.
- august 9th -
DISNEYWORLD!!!! YAAAAAAY!! sakura and i dragged our lazy out-late-clubbin butts outta bed and hopped on the ghetto shuttle to disneyworld. went to the magic kingdow (which is like disneyland).. LOVED IT...we ran all around the park hitting the big stuff like we were five years old. if my ankle wasn't sprained i bet we would have skipped. we contemplated getting one of those electric wheelchairs for me.. hahah.. maybe we wouldn't have to wait in any lines.. but i decided not too cuz i didn't want to look like a dork. after the fun and shopping and eating, we went to Epcot. we were really tired so we just shopped and looked around a little bit.. and took lots of photos of course. then met megan, kieu, ryan, hailes, lauren and tanya at this moroccan restaurant where hailes belly danced!! hahahahaha watched the illuminations show, and then sakura and i rushed off hoping the shuttle didn't leave us.. we got there right when it was gettting ready to go. yay. went back and packed to get ready for our full day ahead of us the next day...
- august 10th -
MORE DISNEYWORLD!! whoo hoo. we finished off Epcot and did MGM in record time. took a massive amount of pictures. sakura and i got obsessed with those imprinted pennies (where they smush the penny and make a design) i'm mad.. in the whole tour of the nations.. they had a penny for each country.. but NO China didn't have a penny.. and Japan's was in Morocco.. WHAT THE HECK.. man.. good thing my sister wasn't there.. she would have made all asians ban disneyworld for life. anyways.. ran around all the parks like maniacs trying to collect pennies.. went back to our new hotel (the convention hotel) and checked in... figured out we were in tower frikkin seven.. the furthest one out.. in the boonies. it was such a far far far walk. thank god nicole from wum gave us a ride as we collapsed on her doorstep. although.. the first person i saw at ICON was the one and only Pete Holiday.. *i'm so lucky* so yeah.. went to our fantabulous 8 person suite... showered, rested, trekked back to the convention center for opening session. later did candidate stuff, blah blah blah.
- august 11th -
workshops, caucusing - walked with manny.. which is an interesting side to be on.. rather than inside the caucus rooms.. there's a lot that goes on outside that you wouldn't think about. nothing really important, just different, governor's gala, district awards - congrats carrie! - and then the desert reception and then the dance and then hugs and kisses party in the ohio suite. fun fun fun... i sat around and talked to mary and justin during the night and met some cute boys from t-o and carolinas (yes.. those carolinas boys again.. hahah)
- august 12th -
house of delegates, sightseeing time (where i just stayed in a slept.. yah.. party pooper i know), then caucusing.. it was a busy night. there were a bunch of parties that night.. walked around a few, just kind of stayed in. oh i remember what i did.. i cleaned the suite and set up for ryan's "surprise" party (you're welcome ryan).. hung out a little bit, and then just kind of chilled. slept with nicole and joe that night (ooh la la) cuz sean came and slept with the ucsd girls, and i didn't want to sleep on the sofabed or with ryan (and be the homewrecker again this year) :P it's funny our suite was more of the district hang out suite... which is ironic because it was so far.. it would have made more sense to congregate in tower 5.. but us foolios are lazy and made everyone walk their asses out here. hahah.
- august 13th -
the last "real" day of icon. hmm.. in the morning we had more awards.. ucsd won 1st place in all of inter-frikkin-national for scrapbook.. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! sakura was weeping a little.. it was so cute. we were so excited and almost ran cindy over when we went up on stage. i'm sure i was smiling like an idiot. and third place in newsletter .. haha.. we got all excited and jumped up and down.. and then sat back down. i didn't realize that i was supposed to go up and get the award.. haha.. so i ran up there all retardedly. had another house of delegates.. congrats carrie! now she's the new international vp.. hahah.. i tried to make the same fuss as i did with pete.. but carrie will hit me.. hahahaha i can see it in her eyes. that afternoon there was a wicked thunderstorm that was fun to watch. sakura and i got in the jacuzzi in our suite (awesome!) and i screamed because this guy i knew josh was on elimidate. haahahah i knew he was on it, but i never thought i was going to see it, and i did.. and it was the best. hahaah. did the whole farewell session thing.. cnh got distinguished district for last year WHOO HOO!! man.. we did good. last years district board ran up while the district chanted (even when the other district was getting their award) we're such annoying brats... hahahhha. it was exciting though to be part of it all. watched carrie get installed and they announced the winners for trustees and then it was time for the last dance. hahahah.. there was food .. meatballs and nachos and good healthy stuff like that.. so naturally sakura, hailes and i sat outside and ate while everyone else was dancing. watched carrie whore it up on the dance floor, as well as other people.. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING! dissapointed when i saw the cute boy that i had my eye on dance with some other hoochie... hahaha. that night did laundry, packed, gave Pete his "Holiday" candles from the Gap (i'm the best present giver), swam a little, people came over... blah blah blah. i don't know if it was because of my ankle, because we were in tower 7, the humidity.. but i wasn't all over the place like usual.. which is good and bad. but i didn't talk to as many people as i wanted ... just hung out with the roomies.. which isn't bad. but i thought i would talk to mary or pete or nick more.. i mean.. these people were all busy (especially pete and the ladies.. hahaha) .. but still but whatevs.. it was enjoyable.. and i just lived vicariously through tanya anyways. :)
