so i really should be asleep now, or going to sleep a lot earlier than i have been. i'm so retarded.. i had NO reason to stay up this late.. it's not like i'm still getting home at midnight or anything. today i answered the phone and my roommate asked me why i was home... she said "you're never home" hahaha.. now i guess my roommates will have to get used to me being around for the next 6 weeks.. unless i find some hot guy to shack up with. riiiiiiiiiiight.. that's brianne's job. anyways..

i've been watching a lot of tv, to make up for my lack there of.. hahahh.. i should at least get something out of my ridiculously high cable bill. today.. i watched cruel intentions 2.. which is possibly one of the worst movies in the world. even though it's 2.. it's supposed to be a prequel... but it's like almost the exact same thing, but horrible-er... horrible-est.. it's SOOOOO bad. i have no idea why i watched it.. its like that whole morbid curiosity thing. but at least i know i'm not alone in my crazyness..both carrie and nicole have seen it (they probably watched it together) and proceeded to tell me it was bad (after i had already told them i just watched one of the worst movies ever)... thanks for the warning guys ;) anyways...

monday.. i spent watching tv, cleaned my room a little. today jill called this morning in a weird panic of all this bad stuff happening, but she had to come over and use my computer, so i let her in as i was leaving for class, hugged her, and left for class. yes.. i'm a good friend. i know. class, abs n buns.. and working out. i ran into Michael.. which was fun.. I haven't seen him in awhile. I'm on this big whole "i want to hang out with everyone i've ever been friends with at UCSD before i leave" kick. i think it's the whole graduating thing.. and being sad i probably won't see these people. :P i have a 8 page paper due in a week, which i haven't started of course.. but i'm a little worried because my ta is a smart smart man... and so is the teacher.. and i don't want them to think i'm a complete idiot. yet.. due to my innate slacker qualities.. i feel no sense of urgency to start. i am horrible.

today was hailes' bday.. (happy birthday!!) michelle, carli, sakura and i took him out to bj's for pizza and pizookie's and i bought him and ice cream cake, and there were trick candles (hahahahah) and we almost burned bj's down. well not really.. but we melted the little soccer guys on hailes' cake (yea.. i know.. soccer.. but i just picked it for the flavor.. there were no nerdy kids playing computers on top of the cakes.) oh well.

anyhoo.... i should get to bed.. or pretend to do something productive. internship tomorrow.. and maybe i'll actually study.. hmm.. why do i feel like i have something to do.... hahah.. maybe it's just go to free scoop night at baskin robbin's.. :) yum. piggy.. oink oink. ooh.. maybe to a bar... hmmmm....

oh... so i forgot to mention that yesterday i was in a crappy mood because i almost got a ticket because of cki. well.. not completely because of cki.. but yea. so i was rushing to sun god to meet up for half marathon.. because i thought everyone was leaving (which everyone was) and i didn't know where we were supposed to meet, or how we were getting there. so i was totally speeding towards campus, and then on campus, i was speeding, and blowing past all the stop signs. the very last one happened to be in front of a cop.. which by the way wasn't even in a cop car!! it was a plain car, with light under the car.. which i thought was like some asian racer car... who can blame me. so stopped in the sun god parking lot and some man came up to me and told me turn off my engine and asked if i had a license, he checked it, and didn't give me a ticket.. i'm assuming i got a warning and since i didn't have any other tickets/warnings he let me off this time. i played the sad tired volunteer girl, telling him that i was really sorry, and i was only rushing because i thought i was late to a volunteer project and that they would leave me behind. emphasis on the word volunteer. i didn't tell him that also it was because it was 4:45am and no one in their right mind should be awake and on campus, let alone cops. but anyways.. i'm glad that i didn't get a ticket.. because i would have been so pissed.. and i hate cso's.. what jerks.
so i can finally have my life back now.. i'm free of rehearsals, line notes, props.. etc. and now i'm sleeping :) i slept 17 of the past 24 hours and it feels real good :)

last week we had tech... it was insane.. a little boring because i just sit backstage and not really do anything. there's so little props, no scene changes.. nothing for me to do really. but it was fun.. friday night we opened... i got presents.. yay :) eva gave me a plant, lilach gave me a flower, dave gave me a hug and barry gave me a book. so cute :) that night there was a get together at rock-bottom, so lilach and i went for a little bit, and then we went to friday's. i guess maybe we just felt like we didn't fit in too much... all the grad students tend to keep to each other mostly. at friday's we ran into sheida and ate dinner with her there.. and then afterwards i met up with vivian and angie at pb bar & grill and after a night of chaos.. didn't get to bed until 5am. not the wisest choice see as how i had to be at school at 8:30am... yea.. my ass was definitely dragging that day.

saturday we had 3 shows... they were all pretty good.. the morning one was the best. i worked on a collage that i gave to the cast and crew.. like a good job present. i'm such a nerd. afterwards, went to the reception at the baldwin's house in del mar. it was pretty fun, talked to people and drank wine. :) hahaha. afterwards, went home and debated whether or not to sleep for the la jolla half marathon, but vivian called me and i went downtown to hang out with her and angie and aran, nick, scott and friends... we went to denny's and just chilled. at least it gave me something to do... went to la jolla half marathon.. worked traffic and the water stations. it got kind of crazy.. too many runners. but i have mad respect for people who can run 13 miles. or even the people who did the 5K... i probably couldn't do it if my life depended on it. i got free jamba juice, pat and oscar's breadsticks and naked juice. yay for free stuff.

on the way home i passed by gap, so i dropped in to say hi. they asked me if i wanted to come back.. so that's something i'll have to think about. i'm kind of enjoying not working and having time to just sit on my lazy ass.. but i'm also not enjoying my broke-ness. came home... passed out.. slept for 9 hours. my roommate was amazed because she said she had her friends over, was playing loud music, some people were wrestling, and she couldn't believe i slept through it all. i ate some dinner, watched harry potter and then went back to sleep.

today i'm supposed to be doing some junk.. but i really just feel like lying in bed all day. hahahah.. and i feel like going to eat at ichiban's.. i'll have to call jill. and i want to go to disneyland... hehehehe.. so many things that i want to do.. except the things i'm supposed to be doing. is that the way it always is?

a letter from my sister:

BETTER LUCK TOMORROW is going to be in theaters nearly everywhere this week- opening April 25th- in over 400 theaters in our 3rd week! Please help us
email all the theaters to your friends everywhere!!! MTV Films is really looking at this weekend to see how we do in a wide release, and it'll determine if this film is deemed a fluke or a success.

This is listed by state, city and theater circuit. I have left off Florida, as they are working with those theaters right now.

Tuesday, April 22, 2003

so yesterday i was blogging, and something funky happened with the buttons and the page went back, and i lost everything that i wrote. i hate when that happens. boo.

here's a quick synopsis of my week and so.
friday: internship, rehearsal, smac house party. it was really fun.. i really really really want to own a foosball table now. carrie.. can we get one in our beach-side apartment? :) hahaha. it was a good time *even sober* and i played with Nick who kept saying "you know what jean's favorite food is, SMACK-a-roni and cheese!" as we were beating people. yea.. maybe it was funnier in person. but i always have good times at their house parties, it's always fun to get together with old friends.

saturday: admit day: helped recruit possible freshmeat for cki. ali did the best job ever!! haah.. and hailes made the most "kicked out" fliers ever. they loooked sooooooo good and kathy is our poster child for ucsd cki. they looked way better than those gay int'l ones (no offense carrie) and we rocked. after that rehearsal and then i stayed at home and was a big bum.. i like having me time sometimes.

sunday: did nothing :)
monday: rehearsal, cki mtg
tuesday: class, rehearsal, watched spin moves with sakura and carli. it was pretty good. kind of sad in the end, but good. it was funny to see my new ta be a pervy bball coach.. but i guess that means he's a good actor eh?
wednesday: internship, met some of the guys from weezer, rehearsal and then watched archaeology. that was good too, i kind of didn't get the ending, well just a part of the ending, but it was good :) **happy birthday chase**
thursday: class, sakura locked my keys in my car, rehearsal, fractured my toe **happy birthday pete**
friday: hospital, internship, work at the water polo game, rehearsal, hung out with my sister and karin from BLT, and a bunch of drunk asian people at a karaoke bar. :)
saturday: rehearsal, watched hand, foot, arm, face- which was sad, i didn't really understand everything, but was interesting. then rested, napped, philly and fam came to visit me for 10 minutes and then i went to watch desperados with sakura. (we also had california burritos from coti's.. mmmm.. soooo good) the play was good, funny and depressing because it was a love story.. and of course made me and sakura want to have boyfriends. boo. hahaha.. i kept drooling over one of the actors.. it also made me sad because i wanted to act and be in a play, not just stage manage. but while watching all the new plays i didn't think there was any part i could really play, but in the last one, i found a part i could have been... too bad i never tried out. dang it. my lazyness sucks. missed pete's show (sorry!!) ... and then afterwards I went to this BLT party that the director's bro was throwing. some good food and a bunch of asian people. ahah.. jk. there was some "interesting" people, and me and this guy albert sat around for awhile people watching :) there was also a bunch of people taking pics and a guy with a video camera.. that kind of creeped me out a little. i hope i don't end up on like "fobs gone wild" or anything..although i was just sitting and talking.. nothing to interesting. karin and her friends andrew, ian and dan came, and so i hung out with them and we all chilled afterwards. it was good times.. i fell asleep watching harry potter :) yay... i *heart* harry potter. **happy birthday dan**
sunday: i came home, cleaned up our apartment because it was a disaster area from the party my roommates threw, tay and i tried to watch harry potter but both of us passed out and didn't wake up until it was dark. oops. woke up later, dragged my ass around the house some more, watched south park and fox rox and then i read.. yes i actually did homework. it's cuz we have a quiz this thursday, and i'm definitely going to fail. boo.

today: i slummed around the house, read a little bit, went to rehearsal, where i did think it could possibly get more boring.. it does. i sat backstage all night and after i had the props all laid out (which is easy) i just sat back there.. in the dark.. with nothing to do. :P one more week.. that's all.. and sure i guess i'll miss it. but it's more like missing the people, not the tasks. it's like school, during the summer, you miss it, not the work or the classes, but the environment, the people, your friends, the parties, etc. but tay told me today someone called this morning at like 7:30 and asked for vivian, and then asked for me, and said that they really needed to talk to me, and when she tried to ask who it was, he was like.. "just tell her i called, she'll know who it is" man.. what a freak. but still i want to know who it is... was it you? (and if it was.. i'm sorry i called you a freak) :) **happy birthday ann**

i have rehearsal, class, interning and my show opens this week. that's kind of exciting. pete's/she blonde swede show is this saturday night. 10pm-1am in some bar.. it should be a good time. everyone should go :) and also i get to go to this afterparty for the new play festival at the "baldwins" not of alec/billy etc. fame.. but some rich la jolla couple who donated money to make the new play festival happen. anyways, moral of the story is they're loaded, i'm sure their house is a mansion, and i'm going to a party at it. hahaha. who wants to come with? :)

hmm.. i really should be sleeping, i don't know what's wrong with me. i have bad bad bad senioritis.. i seriously just want to drop all my classes :) i don't know how some people are so nerdy and disciplined. ahahah. but also.. i think the ucsd cki banquet is going to be may 31st.. that's the unofficial date for now.. so ALL of you reserve that date, because i expect to see you all there. :)

and of course.. manny is the bestest.

WhoDaManny: what are u doing hoochie?
jeanyah: blogging
WhoDaManny: on how i awesome i am?
jeanyah: yea
jeanyah: basically

oh yeah.. one more thing...

BETTER LUCK TOMORROW COMES OUT TODAY (with second tier roll out dates next week). GO TO ONE NEAR YOU AND SEE IT!!

my sister co-produced this movie... so if she makes it big i'm hoping she'll buy me nice presents, or at least i can mooch of her. :) and you can come too.
so i'm at my internship with not that much to do right now. all the guys who do production aren't here.. we're guessing that after their shoot last night they all went out drinking and maybe just didn't feel like coming in today? hah. so i did some logging and editing junk, and now i'm chillin. i missed the kiwanis luncheon, which sucks.. no free food for me. oh well

hmm.. so the second week of school is done with. pretty uneventful. my classes seem okay, except for my theater history class, american musical theater, which sounds fine and dandy, but the teacher seems really hard. a stickler for writing, and him and the ta are both very knowledgeable about the subject, so no BS allowed. it probably isn't that hard, but it's more effort than i want to put in my last quarter of my senior year in college. *blech* but i found out that i don't quite have enough credits to where i can get a theater minor if i take this class pass/no pass. dang it! if only i had taken one more theater class, which would have been possible if i wasn't doing the play... this stinking show should count for two clases :) that would make me a happy girl.

my daddy went to taiwan on monday. my mom didn't end up going, and i felt kind of bad because she seemed really sad and like she really wanted to go, but i guess she's going in july. which is fine with her i suppose. but i drove up to LA on tuesday for my sister's movie premiere. it was fun stuff... i saw "ewan" from off centre (ooh) and johnny knoxville (yum). i was too scared to say anything to either of them. hahaha.. but we watched the movie and then trekked over to this club called "bliss" where the after-party was supposed to be at. it was nice and a free full-bar. too bad i was driving. but i just drank a little bit... with my mom. hahahahha drove back to san diego on wednesday, but not before having chick-fil-a of course. yuuuuuuuuuuum.

hmm.. sakura and i started abs n buns this week. i ditched tuesday of course, but i went yesterday, than ran... i'm pretty sore.. i guess i shouldn't have laughed at sakura the other day. vivian moved out this week and a new girl (tai, ty, thai?) moved in. she seems okay, pretty nice, she's really cute, and 19. she's pretty wild, so goes out all the time and drinks with her friends, but she still seems nice. oh and our cable got cut off yesterday. hahahahah... my janky roommates who never pay bills, we lost the february one.. so i guess i should pay it soon huh? oops.. my bad. i'm still undecided about the whole taiwan/icon thing and which one i'm going to go to. that's just the million dollar question i guess. rehearsal again tonight, tomorrow and every stinkin' day for the next two weeks. ugh. although i'm doing more now so it's less a waste of my time, but there are still issues here and there, especially with some sheisty hoes. hahaha. philly's coming to sd next week, which is pretty exciting, we're going to go out and play, as much as my schedule will allow anyway. boo.. and some other crap. and nicole promises she'll come down and play :) *good times* or maybe we'll just congregate at disneyland :) but i am broke. like really really really broke. i barely have enough money to pay my bills, actually i'm not sure if i will have enough. and my mom just gave me a crapload of money as well, so i feel bad asking for more. not working sucks butt munchies. (only in that "broke" sense, not in "yay i have way more free time and don't have to go to work at 5am to put sensors on clothing for minimum wage because they're too sheisty to give me a raise" sense) yikes.. okay.. i should go.. maybe earn my keep. and then i have errands to run, bills to pay, cable to re-connect, rehearsals to go to, and hopefully a party. :) except i have a cki thing to do tomorrow.. damn it..i thought i was done. damn the district for having stc on the same day as admit day. hahahahah

Monday, April 07, 2003

my life has been pretty hectic and crazy so far.. and it's only been a week back at school. this is has possibly been one of the longest weeks ever. but i still don't want tomorrow to be monday. ugh.. i wish weekends were longer.

spring break was fun.. i slept A LOT. and i'm not exaggerating. it was a lot even for me. i would wake up at noon or so, get up, eat, do random stuff, and then take a nap at 4pm because i was so tired. and it wasn't just like the first few days of spring break.. it was allll week. crazy. so i totally messed up my sleeping schedule for the first week of school. horrible. hung out with beth and sakura. spent time with my sister and my family. it was my sister's bday, so did some celebrating. went shopping for a bit, but wasn't in a real big buying mood, which is weird, but it was good :) i am sooo broke. especially now that i no longer am employed by the gap. on thursday went to a screening of Better Luck Tomorrow with Beth. it was fun, i got to help sell tshirts.. *ahh.. retail* and Friday.. I went to DISNEYLAND and CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES with Nicole and Sakura!! yay!! i got a season pass, so if anyone wants to go, let me know.. i need to get my money's worth!! although that $8 parking thing is a rip-off. geez!! it was way fun and i loved it. i love disneyland.

this week has been really crazy, and i really feel like it's been much longer than a week. i've done a little bit of circle k stuff, not too much, i definitely have a lot more time on my hands, which is nice. but stupid me, when i have free time, i only fill it up with more crap. so i'm stage managing a play at school. it's cool because i get to work wtih graduate actors and the staff and junk. it's not cool because it eats up all my time, because i have to be at rehearsal for 6+ hours a day, 6 days a week, and mostly all nighttimes. and i'm just like the clean up girl. yuk. but it's still kind of fun to do something different. it's weird not having any comm classes. and there's this other musical theater history class, which seems okay.. and sakura's in the class with me.. but it just seems kind of hard because the teacher's a stickler for research and writing and i just don't know if want to put that much effort my last quarter (i'm such a slacker!!)

hmm.. not much else.. just trying to tie up a lot of loose ends.. but everything seems very jumbled.. and i'm still really really tired during the day. it's so odd.. i really need to get my sleeping schedule back in order. it's like i have spring break jet lag. i'm kind of sick, and nicole was making sure i don't have SARS, which freaks me out a little bit. but my dad is going to taiwan tomorrow, so that freaks me out. i was talking to him on the phone, and i was really tired, but also just not good at the mushy stuff. and hoping that in the 14 days that he's there nothing happens... especially because i can't be there to say goodbye to him when he leaves tomorrow. my mom was supposed to leave for taiwan on the 1st, but she delayed the trip because of the disease... i don't know what's going on with that. but.. *sigh* i don't know. but being sick sucks, and my roommate has pink eye, and if i get it.. i will kill her. :)

oh!! on saturday a few of us went over to hailes' apartment and he cooked up dinner. it was soooooooo yummy.. we all ate until we were stuffed. ladies.. hailes is a good cook.. marry him now.. hahaha we drank a bit and watched sweet home alabama. and ate some more. yuuuuuum. the food was way good. i was excited. i wish hailes would cook for me all the time :) and today i watched fox rox.. the show i intern for. it's kind of cool to know that i had a teeny tiny part in helping put that show together.. and my name was in the credits!! yay!! i'm a superstar. hehehehhehe. i should probably go to sleep now.. it's 3am.. there's goes my sleeping schedule. i hope i can breathe better when i wake up.

Monday, March 24, 2003

hellllllllloooooooooooooooooooo.... wow..i slowly weaned myself off of the computer in the past few weeks.. which is good.. but now it's almost backwards because now i'm too lazy to blog. hahaha. . but it's been almost 20 days. wow. but it is spring break now.. and i am going to sleep all week :) maybe disneyland? vegas? i want to do something fun.. dang. i should have went to rosarito or something. :) "booze and hot guys... heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy..." hahahaha

hmm... what to say. since my last blog.. i spent two weeks living at school because i was editing my two videos. one for my non linear digital editing class, and the other one for my senior seminar class. both turned out decent. one was an opinion piece about middle easterns in the media.. but it got turned more into a very abstract piece about bush/hussein/war/heroes/villains. i still really don't know. the other one was about.... circle k. *yes.. i know i am lame* hahahaha.. but i think it turned out fairly decent for not really having enough or that great of footage. i had a lot from the beginning of the year, and then i sort of just got lazy or forgot about it, so there's not that much of the new members or the year. hmm.. but i think it is pretty good. i kind of wish i had maybe been able to do one for the district.. and maybe showed it at convention.. that would have been fun.. oh well... that probably would have driven me INSANE.

so yeah.. lived in the editing room.. that was my life. afterwards became scrapbook. we worked on that thing day and night.. and sakura and i thought we would never finish in time.. but we did. it was great. after my videos were turned in, i had one final. and i just did scrapbook the rest of the time, cutting letters, glueing pictures.. making stuff.. blah blah blah. sakura and i rented 8 mile and the sex and the city third season... that's a pretty good thing to rent if you have a long project to work on. wednesday night i had rehearsal for critical darling, the stage that i'm assistant stage manager for. it's okay.. it's pretty boring right now.. i just set up the coffee and drinks, and the tables and chairs, and then clean up after everyone leaves. it kind of sucks because it seems like you're the crew bitch... but whatever.. that's probably why i like acting better :) it's also crappy because i'm supposed to attend all the rehearsals, which is like 6 days a week, and i wanted to take these classes, but the production stage manager got all pissed at me and was like.. you have to come to every single one.. it's a class you know. shoot... 4 units for 24 hours of class time a week.. i don't think so. hahaha anyhoo.. rehearsal that night, and then talent show skit practice... then my final the next day and then scrapbooking at jamie's apt. from 7pm thursday to 8am friday morning. 13 hours straight. then i passed out for 3 hours, packed, and drove to convention. there was soooooooooo much traffic on the 101.. the 5 was alright once i got out of san diego, but emily, janet and i got to the hotel around 7pm right in time for opening session. we blew up the bangers/thundersticks that i got from athletics. they were loud and annoying.. they were so great :) ali was super funny.. way entertaining.. and sakura didn't get there until later.. which sucked because she won awards :( that night was caucus, then candidates discussion and then skit practice.

saturday was talent show auditions (we didn't make it.. thanks a lot nicole!!) and house of delegates. there were workshops too. but i didn't go to any :( oops. i was busy.. hahaha.. then we spent a long time getting ready for the senior reception. i did sakura and carrie's hair. and we were soooooooooo late for it.. and everyone was rushing us telling us we were going to be late, almost to the point of hostility.. hahaha i was getting kind of mad. but that's because they wanted to present me with an award.. hahaha i was like "dude.. what's the big rush? hahaha and then i found out. then awards night. it was sooooooooooooo good. we won something in everything we entered except for mei po wong. :( but it's okay. we were still pretty stoked.. and we got FIRST PLACE FOR SCRAPBOOK.. yeeeeeaaahh!! *kiss my butt pete holiday* hahaha. indy here we come. but seriously.. it was so weird.. sakura was so nervous she couldn't eat.. i was so nervous that while they started announcing the names i started shaking and crying.. it was so weird. after they went to go get the award, i went to the bathroom because i was a mess... and nicole saw me and though someone had died. hahah... but my entire board got distinguished honors, and along with other positions, and for service and distinguished club. we rock :) we were so excited, and we kept screaming and we were loud and annoying.. hahah.. the grossmont guys were plugging their ears cuz we were shrieking so loudly. whatever. hahah. that night was the dance/karaoke/casino. we have some hooched out freshman in our club. hahaha.. they so cute.. and then sakura and i hung out a little bit in the room and just ate chips and laughed. it was a good time. then we went to pieing. i got to pie joe regala .. cuz we put our tickets in team 3 so that we could pie someone. and then we bought the right to pie hailes. WHOO HOO... it was a good time. hahahah.. then sakura, petey and i hung out with carrie and nicole in their room. watched infomercials but narrated them on our own.. hha.. and got takeout from denny's... and then ate it as we watched my husband dean cain :) and then we all passed out. the next morning for farewell session.. it was good... long... ;) it was a lot different from last year.. because the farewell portion is really focused on the dboard and friends. i wonder how people who don't really know much about the district side of circle k are able to sit through it. they just all think we're a big bunch of saps who cry too much. especially that carrie chen girl.. she's always crying no matter what. haha.. it's okay.. at least i didn't have to write anyone's speech this year. hahah. we watched a video promoting icon.. hahah .. sakura had a blast ... "yay rupy!!" hahahaha... we're such dorks. we got third place total achievement.. whoo hoo. that makes the total TWENTY awards for the weekend.. including individual honors for our members through mrp and sdc and junk like that. in the words of banana "we rock like a band" after that.. hung out with beth, ryan, ryan, nicole, mondo, stephanie, carrie, and scott at friday's. then we hung out outside.... and then we went to denny's. i didn't leave woodland hills until 11pm. we're dorks. but we had good conversation and just laughed all night long.. telling secrets and stories. hahaha..

that night i passed out in my bed... only to be rudely awakened by carrie so i could have the pleasure of taking her to the airport. one hour of traffic later i was at her apartment, taking a nap before we leave to drop her off. then i drove home, stopped at winchell's because i had a craving for non-krispy kreme donuts, and then went home, ate my donuts, watched a little tv and then slept until 6pm.. (basically all day) went out to dinner with my parents, and now i'm back. blogging like a mad woman. i probably just going to go back to sleep, but maybe read a little harry potter before i go to sleep :) i don't know what i'm going to do this week.. i want some crazy spring break adventure.. but i don't think it's going to happen. maybe disneyland.. or vegas.. that would be fun. or maybe just sleep.. that's always the best. the only sucky part is to hear my mom nag about how i'm lazy. but i work hard.. i deserve it... or so i like to tell myself :)

so i must have done something really bad because my karma is kicking me in the ass.

hmm... wow.. it's been a long time since i've really blogged.. a whole new month even. i've either just really busy, or really lazy.. or both. haahhaha.. anyhoo..i don't quite remember what i've been doing these past few weeks. i went to dlssp south, and that was way fun... i got to draw and paint a caterpillar, and then went home and ate good food :) realized that i have less than three weeks (now two) to edit two videos... i'm going to be living at school. ugh. elections for circle k. they were...weird.. just a lot of unexpecting things happened.. but i dunno. whatever.. i'm done. hahaha. jk. but i guess there's nothing i can really do about it now.

this weekend.. i basically killed myself, work and school on saturday and then circle k stuff all sunday, monday and tuesday. yup... i was working on awards.. and i missed school and work to finish them. yes.. i know it's my own fault, but really i didn't try to procrastinate.. but i dunno, for some reason the awards just took so long to do. we had like three meetings before to work on the awards.. but i dunno.. they just never got done. and it sucked because in the end i ended up doing a lot of the grunt work because a)no one else "had time" (cuz i did right?) and b)it seemed as if i cared the most if they got finished. i mean.. i guess i could have forced people to do them, and say if not then they won't get done.. but i'm not really like that, and my pride wouldn't let me not get them done. i don't know... but i do know that when it comes down to the nitty gritty who's going to be there. thanks a million to kathy, sakura and hailes who helped despite their homework, health and cars. :( they helped as much as they could and saved my life as well as our club awards. i owe them so much, and am so grateful for them.. so thanks guys :) enough mushy stuff... but yeah.. so i slept a total of 10 hours in the three days i was working on awards. and THEN as if it wasn't punishment enough, i made sakura come over and go with me to fedex. she volunteered to drive since i couldn't find my wallet underneath the piles of mrf's and cerf forms. so as we were in a mad dash to fedex, we got into a car accident :( this stupid lady was like stopped in the middle of the street, and i guess we just couldn't stop in time. it sucks that it was sakura's car, and it was because of cki and yuk yuk yuk... bad situation in all.. i'm sorry sakura :(. and if that wasn't bad enough, i had to work at 5am this morning. we're getting new flow at the gap (although i should say we anymore because today was my last day.... I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) and so i had to go in at 5am. boo. as i was setting up this folding table, i was trying to get the part that supports the leg to straighten out, and it pushed back out and the leg swung back in and the end part of the table leg SMACKED me in the face. i screamed, i cried and my manager walked me to the back as i was bawling. i washed it and taped gauze to my face.. (i looked really funny.. although i didn't find it too humorous at the time) and later i went to the doctor, and they said i was okay.. i'm just going to have a black eye for two weeks. boo. it's like right above my eye, and right below my eyebrow.. near my nose. but still pretty swollen, bruised, sore and atrocious. :( yea.. i'm a freak... and now i'm a freak with a black eye. and you thought i couldn't get any fuglier.

hmm.. so i haven't felt like blogging in awhile, but now that i feel like it, i don't know what to say. things have been kind of random and crazy in the past few weeks, and i've been super busy with all sorts of stuff. not as busy as during winter vacation, but a different kind of busy, because i have more school, cki and less work (whoa.. do i just say the same thing over and over again in all the "different" blogs?).. wow.. i'm lame.

last week was the same 'ol same 'ol. i went to my classes, did circle k stuff. i tried to register for my classes (whoa.. my last quarter.. sad!) but i didn't even know what classes to take. and a lot of the classes i want to take, you have to be approved for. how lame. but i really would i could get into singing for actors... that would rock. friday was valentine's day, and i stayed up all night doing homework and circle k stuff, then went to class, and then worked the basketball game. hey.. i figure if i have no big plans, i might as well make myself busy so that i don't have to think about it eh? the game was sad because the guys lost... but cameron told me they won on saturday against dominguez hills... so that is good, too bad i wasn't there to see it. Saturday was the fashion show. i don't want to say it was lame, because it was good for our first try. but it just sucked a little because hardly any of the members went (and we had no audience) and it was really short. i didn't even expect it to be as short as it was. but that's one of the drawbacks of ucsd... that we go to a nerdy school.. ahah.. where everyone needs to study, or they just go home on the weekends. and it's hard to draw people to an event where there is no drugs or booze. hahah.. jk. that night we went had a cki "social" shopping, dinner and a movie. it was a good time, except i skipped out early on the movie to go see angels in america, a play for my class. it was pretty good.. there was even a naked man!! (my virgin eyes!) and it was funny because one of the scenes we did in my acting class sophomore year was taken from angels... so it brought back memories...

after i got out of the play, i got this message from sakura saying how she was lost, and out of gas, and how she was going to die, and for me to call her back. i FREAKED OUT... and called her but she didn't answer.. (because i learned later her cell phone died). i promptly started calling everyone and their mother to try and find out where she is, and felt so retarded.. and then she called me and told me she got home okay.. but we laughed at how retarded i am. haha.. she came over and we hung out and watched sex in the city. yay. sunday was a super marathon day where we worked on the scrapbook, and i did MRP stuff. yikes.. it takes forever and a day. monday.. i had to work in the morning and i was SO tired after i came back.. i napped and then board meetings and budgets and agendas oh my. today is tuesday.. and it's just been class and circle k. whoo hoo. i came home and vegged because i was tired of dealing with people. people can be really dumb sometimes, and i hate the fact that some people can be so ignorant, and try to infect other people with their stupidity. ugh. so i watched 3 hours of sex in the city, the did tae-boxing.. (yeah i know.. billy blanks you love him) and then darrin's dance grooves.. hahaha.. yes.. we're bored individuals.

a few last things. at cki meetings, when i talk and ramble on and try to move through the agenda, i always feel so lame. like people are just sitting there listening to me talk with these pained expressions on their faces. i get no responses when i try to ask them questions, and i just feel stupid.. like why am i even trying. but i guess that's typical of most people who run meetings. meetings are just plain boring. or maybe it's just me. oh well.. only like six weeks left?

and... a week ago or so.. i went to friday's to get my reward for my seven hours of cki meetings. it was also a big excuse to "bump" into a certain person. because i am a huge lame retard and a loser.. and impossible as well. and so i did "bump" into that certain person. we chatted for a big.. hugged (which of course left me lingering) and in the end i got said person's cell phone number (i don't know if it's the right one though.. hahah). this should be seen as a great thing.. although i feel like it's just another opening to be shot down. needless to say i haven't called because i hate rejection, i'm super busy.. and really i don't know what i would say. i have it tacked up on my bulletin board just as a reminder that i have it.. like some sort of trophy for some small triumph. but i can't bring myself to do anything with it... because of my huge lack of self esteem. i don't even know why i'm posting this for the world to see, for all the 6 people who read this anyways. but i guess i just needed to.. i dunno.. be retarded. where i've been told i either need to do something about it, or move on.. i can't do either. because the rejection would be too hard to handle, and the possibility of something could always happen is exciting. and in my own weird loserish way, i justify it by thinking it's like having a crush on a movie star. something that's totally unattainable, but fun to joke about anyways. i don't know. i was walking this girl in my class, who's super cute.. and smart, and we were chatting about how she'd go to restaurants and always get things for free. and today, this other guy in our class was like.. "jean.. why don't you hook me up?" i laughed but he was totally serious. and i sat next to her as 5 more guys flocked around her. and then i just sit there, wallowing in my own self pity, wondering, how come i can't be one of those girls. haahaha. okay.. you should have stopped reading this like 35 lines ago.

circle k has enveloped my life..

i don't know whether that's a good thing or bad thing.. but i do know it's 4:37am and i'm still up doing my homework. yuk. i spent yesterday and today doing circle k stuff, sitting through 7 hours of different sorts of meetings, preparing for meetings, making agendas, talking to people about circle k stuff, thinking about what's coming up in circle k. yikes.. it is insane how much of a circle k nerd i am. (and the scary thing is that there are even bigger circle k nerds than me out there!!) today i prepared for the meeting when i realized there was a recognition thing due this saturday, which is not simple and requires letters of rec and hour tabulation in order to even nominate someone. ugh. so yeah.. i have to count up all the hours so that i can ask people to write letters of rec. my secretary can't do it because she has an 8am class, and a volleyball game tomorrow night... so guess who volunteered to do it. i really need to learn how to delegate better. anyhoo.. i thought it wasn't bad because for my class, although i have reading, i always get by with not doing it.. haahaha, i thought i only had to do my prompt book and write a 1 page paper. sounds easy right? nope.. i just spent the last 5 hours doing my prompt book. *sigh*

but yeah.. elections are in only 2 weeks. that seems so scary. i only have 7 weeks left in my term. and just like last year, as much as i gripe and complain about it, and celebrate how soon it will be over, i'll still miss it when it's gone. it's scary to think that these people are going to come and replace you, and you hope that they'll do a good job.. but you never really know. the ones that you think will do a good job suck, and the ones you aren't sure of sometimes amaze. sometimes.. and then there's that just run everything in to the ground. but in any case circle k will live to see another day.. we hope. (or at least some of us.. hahahahah) nominations were crazy today, and technically i have 7 (yeah.. SEVEN) people running for president. but the members went on a nominating frenzy, and everyone just said they'll think about it... but i feel like a majority of them will decline.. i just hope not all of them. and then i think maybe they just all said yes because they're scared to say no? to me? i don't know.. i'm "witty" and "sarcastic" and that nickname "mean jean" i got, was a joking term, but people who don't know me well, i honestly think that i'm mean. i'm really not, i'm a nice girl. i promise. but what.. these people who got nominated say yes only for a fear that i'll come after them in the parking lot after the meeting because they won't run for my position? i don't know.. i swear i try to be as non-threatening as possible. but with the power and position of making things happen and bringing things into order... you also play the bad guy. i dunno.. maybe i expect too much.

i also have been wondering how my life would be different (and better or worse) if i had run for governor last year.. and either won and this year i would have been gov. or lost and this year i would have had no position. our club board would probably be a lot different... and my life would either be real busy or not so busy at all. but i guess there's not use thinking about it.. but it's another one of those grand "what-if's." i've set myself up in a good position to run for another position for next year...which makes me sad because there's so much that i'd like to do and experience.. but i refuse to be one of those people who are in circle k for eight years, especially if i don't even need to go to school anymore!! but it's like my feeling like i didn't get enough out of college, like i never went to the gym enough, didn't use AS resources as much as i could have, did go abroad.. all those things that are so easy while you're in school, and so hard once you're not. eh.. but anyhow.. i have to go write my one page and then do that circle k stuff. and it's now 5am. at least i have class at 2pm.. although tomorrow is a full day.. class, sdsu meeting and then budget stuff with sakura. at least i get to hang out with MY honey.. (that's right manny...)

Saturday, February 08, 2003

*i haven't heard back from sea world... i'm kind of bummed.. maybe i should call? i don't know, but i always feel like it's too pushy. and also, if they want you, they call you. if they don't want you, they don't call... that's always how it is. booooooooo.

let's see.. it's february. yikes a new month.. and i didn't even turn around 3 times.. dammit!! but wow.. it's feb 8th already.. it seems like it's been going by so fast. i haven't been doing much, just a lot of class, and circle k. a little bit of work. but everything comibined is kicking my ass. on friday i was at school until 5am editing my video. i had class at 11 and got 4 measely hours of sleep and was sooooooooo dead all day. the day before i was at school until 1am, and the day before that i worked on my video for a few hours. so i swear it wasn't just because i was slacking. i came home this weekend, it's nice to get away sometimes... it's still the same 'ol same 'ol at home. but it was nice, my dad gave me this great big hug when i walked through the door. yay. i think i appreciate home a lot more now that i'm not home as often. but i do really need to find a job for after i graduate, because there's no way i could live at home again. i can't live the 12 year old life again.. but i'm not so sure if i'm ready to live the grown up life either. yikes. and one more thing.. i can't watch tv at home. haha..i feel so restricted when i have like 200+ channels at home, and here i only have like 7, it's hard to be entertained.

stup is engaged.. and at the same time where that seems surreal, it's not as surprising, just because they already live together, and all that jazz. i wonder if it's just starting, like the married life, and all my friends will start to become engaged. haha.. i feel like i'm so behind.. like.. i'm not even in that process. but 21 is super early to be engaged or married, or at least i think so. and my sister's not even engaged yet, and that makes me feel a little better. but.. sometimes i feel like i'm going to be a spinster for life. with my dogs.. or cats.. i haven't decided yet. that one got milk? commercial freaked me out. everyone tells me.. "don't worry.. it'll happen, and you'll find a good person" but like nicole says "how do you know? do you have a crystal ball? no? then SHUT UP" haha... but just a freaky thought i had.. my fortune cookie today said "have patience - it'll be worth it" or something like that. whoa..... and on another side note.. just to tell you how cracked horoscopes are... sometimes it seems like they're totally dead on.. and other times.. you spend your time searching for what they mean. but realize, that they're full of crap. hahha.. the past few days my email horoscope has been talking about partners and passionate embraces. yah.. not seeing any of that in my real life. too bad.

my stage management professor recommended me to be the production stage manager for this show in the new play festival. at the same time where's it's exciting and flattering to hear him say that he thinks i can do it, it also freaks me out to have that much responsibility (if i do it). like.. i've never done it before, what if i mess up? yikes.. i dunno. it's odd. but i might do it. and i compared it to being like the team manager... haha. if you can't be in a play, stage manage. although if you talk to my professor.. i never said those words. it's just in my case. because i suck.

speaking of things that suck... this whole cki vs. unofficial cki is dumb. and maybe you can say that i don't know enough, or that my opinion is biased.. but then again, so is everyone's. when it comes down to it... some members made a site about circle k. you can't really blame anyone for that. and maybe there's a lot of international and staff workings that i don't understand their reasoning behind it, but i think that it sucks that they're taking it so far. and that the site is down, and yet there's still this big hullabaloo. i also think part of it is because of who made the site, and that pretty much sucks too. people need to get over themselves. and that's definitely not just in this case, but in the whole overall picture of people. in the words of bring it on "shut up, you don't have it, you never will" (maybe if you were me or brianne it would be funnier) but anyways.. if someone wants to explain their side to me.. i'll be more than happy to listen. but the whole situation is dumb, and it's sad because i really enjoyed the site, and thought it could be useful, and i liked reading those posts... i'm a post reader. it's little stuff like this that makes you lose faith in things. like when you get bad service at a restaurant, you're not going to want to go there again. but it also makes me sad, because it also makes me realize you can't do anything to change it. it's this huge corporation type deal, and even if you want to make change, it seems like you can't. policy sucks..no matter where it's from. and yeah.. they're meant to keep things in order, which they do. but some of those policies are dumb and they need to shove it up their butts.

one more thing that sucks is people. haha and not the way you want them to either. but yeah.. i dunno.. i just can't believe that some people are so retarded, or so mean. and i dunno.. i consider myself a nice fun person (right? haha.. you wouldn't be reading my blogger if you hated me.. or maybe you would) but yet some people don't want to be my friends. loser. or not even that really, but like people who were my friends before, that just stop because of certain things that are not my fault. whatever.. i'm still a little bitter about that one. but with people in general, there is always a lot of backstabbing and rudeness in this world, that you really don't need to perpetuate it more. and maybe it's because you think you're better than someone else, you just want to go with the flow... but it sucks. but i guess that's life, and it happens, and you learn who your real friends are. they always told me that when you move off campus, you find out who your real friends are, the ones you make a real effort to hang out with, and the ones who make the effort back, because friendship is a two way thing. i think i need to learn early on who's not "worth it" to expend you energy on. but i dunno.. then maybe i would become the kind of people that i'm talking about if i did that. so i dunno.. which is worse, to try and be friends with everyone, or to be a snobby bitch. hhaha.. well when i say it like that. of course, i'm just rambling, and the whole world thinks i'm an idiot, but i also can't really give specific details for the whole world to read, because i'm not like that either. so.. whatever. in 10 years i'm sure none of this will matter, and i'll always wonder what happened to those people who i could never really keep in touch with, but hopefully i'll still have friends to converse with... or else that that would be a sad story.

and one more sad story.. casey told me that some grad student jumped off pacific hall at our school on friday. that's so sad that you can't really think of anything else besides that. you know? i can't imagine things really being that bad, but that's also because i'm a big weenie. i'd get to the top and just chicken out. i was never much of a risk-taker. but yeah....

i am also quite sick. wish me well.

yuk... the weekend's almost over. i feel like it hasn't even started. well.. not true.. but i miss the summer. maybe it's the weather that makes it seem like it should be summer. it's been pretty nice lately. hmm.. classes thursday and friday. friday i worked at spirit night. it was fun, it seemed like a lot smaller turnout than the years before... but YAY.. marshall won!! whoo hoo. the women won, and the men lost. boo. but it's fun to see the stands filled with people. :) that night i got dessert and then went to the SMAC house party. where i got pretty smashed.. which is bad. but it was a combination of me eating a way early dinner, and my low tolerance. i don't know.. but i don't remember half of the things that happened, and i kicked a guy, and some other stuff. vivian had to walk me home and tuck me in. i was also really nautious this morning.. but i toughed it out, and it passed. was late to work again.. my boss was so mad. :( we play uc davis, and their incredible pep band was in tow. the women lost, and the men. oh my gosh.. i was so excited because i totally thought they were going to win. maybe we jinxed them.. but nooooooo we lost in double overtime. and everyone says it was due to like all the rampant bad calls. weird.. it sucks that a game comes down to that. but duuude. it was nerve-wracking working this game and having it be that close. whew.. i'm sad that they lost.. :( boo. after that i went downtown with sakura. we wanted to check out the "fifth quarter" and the superbowl activities. except we got there too late, and all the activity stuff was closed, but it was still fun, lots of traffic and police. plus lots of drunk people and girls in hoochie outfits, and stretch limos, and hummer limos. those rock. plus!! we saw all these cadillac suv's and one of them had 5 (five!!) tv's in it. and this other one had tv's in the sun-shade part. these cars were crazy. we finally parked and walked around.. it was alright. there were some interesting people there, and every once in awhile some drunk guys would come up to me and sakura and go yay ucsd!!, go tritons! cuz we were both wearing ucsd sweatshirts. which by the way, i felt way underdressed. some really hot guy hugged me and was like "hi honey" but i think that's only because i was holding sakura's hand, they were jealous. what is it about boy's fascination with girl's holding hands? hmmph. nothing much new.. the superbowl is tomorrow, i'll probably be sleeping, or doing hw, or cki stuff. hahahah. what a loser i am.

Friday, January 24, 2003

hmm... i fell a little bit behind in the blogging, but my life is lame.. so it's okay. in continuation of my bad days...

bad day #3 of the SAME week. friday i get in my car to go to class, to discover that the stationary window in the rear passenger door in smashed and there's glass all over my back seat. and upon further inspection some f*ckers tried to hot wire my car and steal it, and when they couldn't do that they tried to steal my radio, and yet were too stupid to do that too. just all the plastic in my car has dreadful pry marks where they jammed their tools in... suckers. i swear.. what is up with this week... i must have really bad karma.. or "chi" as my mom puts it. anyways.. i called a million different people and was a hour late to class. it kind of sucks that someone broke into my car and didn't take anything, like it wasn't even worth their time to break into my car if you're not even going to take anything!!... and my insurance doesn't pay for it because of my deductible. angelee said that too bad they didn't steal my car... haha my deductible will cover me getting a new car.. haha jk. in all seriousness though.. if i had walked out on to the street and my car wasn't there.. i really would have thought i was losing my mind.. after everything that happened in the days before. it would have been like "dude where's my car" except a lot less funnier.

during the weekend i worked a lot, played a little bit with sakura, did cki stuff. there was no big partying though. my parents came down on sunday and we went to costco and cooked dinner in my apt. nothing too big. it's not like freshman year where your parents coming down meant going out to eat at the most expensive place you can think of. damn. this week has been all school and circle k. i haven't had to work at the gap for the second week in a row, and it's glorious. :) i like working... but i have just had so many things to do.. it's nice to be able to accomplish most of them, and still have time to sleep. no more shipment at 6am.. whoo hoo!! (watch out.. i might jinx myself.. *knock on wood*) my life is pretty blah and boring. and i've just been feeling real useless lately, with my "friends".. i dunno.. it's hard to explain.. so i'll just stop here. but yeah.. i did well on my quizzes though, i'm doing a little bit better in school, which is good.. maybe i'll actually get a's this quarter. whoo hoo. but i have a heavy day tomorrow... so i'm going to go.. it's SPIRIT NIGHT!! YAY.. goooooo tritons.

Wednesday, January 15, 2003

i really ought to be sleeping or reading or something.. but i obviously am not. so here's what my blogger has to say. saturday was a super bummy day obviously... i just tried to get things done, new keys... etc. boo. I was supposed to go out with Val that night, but she was super tired, and so I just kind of chilled with Brianne. she tried to get me to go out to the bars with her, but to no avail. so whatever... people came over, we hung out, drank. Rachel came over and we chit chatted.. exchanged stories. at 12:30am, our power went out. so my apartment was full of a bunch of drunk people and no power... hmm. the next day i went down to Ocean Beach to get a hair cut. i thought it was really cute, but now i just feel like i look like a mushroom head, and at other times i feel like i look like Professor Snape from Harry Potter... that's the kind of hair cut i have. anyhoo.. sunday i had the circle k board mtg and scrapbook mtg. we're soooooooooooo gonna win 1st place :P but before that... i swear i am losing my mind because i thought that i lost my keys again.. but i tossed them behind some picture frame on a desk. i searched for a hour.. and i didn't even find them... vivian found them for me later. *sigh* what's wrong with me. monday...

bad day #2: my car overheated and was smoking all the way up and down la jolla village drive. so i find out i have a 4 inch crack in my radiator, and absolutely no water in my car... boo. i know nothing about cars, and it all caught up to me. anyhoo.. last night went to friday's for kimmy's "happy day" she made us promise to not mention the fact that it was her birthday... so we just ate. i came back, did homework, fell asleep on the couch. this morning, finished my homework, got my car fixed, school, auditions, dinner, and then no call back. boo.. i hate being rejected. anyhoo.. this week is kind of a mess... i have so much to do, and i'm not even working!! i can't imagine what it'd be like it i was.. maybe i really should quit. but i'm working all this weekend, hopefully do some good partying friday night. we'll see. but i am pooped and drained. goodnight.

Saturday, January 11, 2003

tonight is the suckiest night in the world. either that.. or i'm on a lot of crack. today. i didn't even want to go out, and i shouldn't have. but i did anyways... and here's what happened. somewhere in between 11pm and 3am, i lost my wallet, my keys and a pack of gum. not my car key.. just my house and apartment keys, circle k office key and drive key for my digital editing class. these are all peculiar things to lose, and if those items just happened to fall on the ground as i was getting out of my car, i really should have noticed... because i was neither drunk nor high. so i drive home and think maybe i just happen to leave my wallet at home, and i just can't find my gum.. when i realized i don't have my apt keys... which makes me think someone broke into my car (because the doors were unlocked when i got back in.. and i thought i was just absent minded and forgot to lock them.. but maybe i did.. but i don't know) took my wallet, my keys and my gum. the wallet i get.. the gum.. probably because it was there.. (i hope they choke on it) but my keys?! what the heck are they going to do with my keys? they don't know where i live. (hopefully) my wallet also has my 50 dollar barnes and noble gift card, my credit cards, my gap employee discount card, my movie ticket stubs, my kaiser card, my amc movie watcher card, my tgi friday's card, my very precious school id card (now i'm going to have to get a new ugly gay id card), my receipts, and many other precious things.. so unless i'm highly delusionaly and i just misplaced my gum, wallet and keys somewhere else, this blows.

i am sad.

Tuesday, January 07, 2003

happy new year! it's 2003 already.. whoa. so anyways.. don't worry philly.. i'm here.. sort of. my mind has kind of been all over the place lately.. which doesn't help since school is starting, or started should i say. hmm.. my life is going to become super busy once again, but i don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. i really need to be more disciplined and not fool around so much and be that good student, good president, good employee.. blah blah blah. that last one may need some reconsidering though. i'm kind of over working retail.. is that bad? hmm..

anyhoo.. let's see..
*saturday and sunday- the 28th and 29th* i worked super super hard.. going from gap in the morning, to basketball at night in the afternoon, both days. it made me super super tired, and i actually got really sick from being so worn out. and everone who just sees me for the few hours while i'm with them always wondering why i'm so sick.. and why don't i take better care of myself? hmm.. it's because.. well actually i don't know why. I need to learn how to say no.

*monday the 30th* drove up to pasadena and did rose float decorating. even with all the waste of time sitting around outside.. i actually had a decent time, and i really enjoyed myself. i really do like rose float decorating, and climbing on the scaffolding. hahahha. Tuesday I drove back to sd and worked for a few hours, and then went out with Val for new years eve!! after taking forever to try and decide what to do we went out to dinner at TGI Friday's ... hahah.. and of course my "favorite" waiter was there. we went back to val's and later went off to mission beach in search of a party that ended before we even got there, so we headed up the street to some random party, and walked on the beach.. and we saw a shooting star!! yay.. happy new year to me :) went back to val's and watched centerstage, and then the wedding planner the next morning while we ate our Friday's leftovers. yum. yup.. it was full of girly movies and good food.. not the new years i had expected.. but all the same.. *good times*

*wednesday the first* i just chilled out and slept, tried to get better from being sick, thursday i worked, friday i worked, saturday i worked. but it wasn't all work.. friday i hung out with Trish.. sushi and saw Two Weeks Notice. it was soo cute.. and funny. but i honestly need to stop watching movies like that.. cuz they make me sad. hahaha. saturday i was supposed to hang out with some work folks, but just ended up going to Friday's with Vivian and Peter... along with doing some other stuff .. it was tons of fun. Sunday i was supposed to clean and do grocery shopping and be productive. but i just kind of sat in my apt. and watched the real world/road rules marathon. angelee and ben came over for a bit to drop off my christmas present yay!.. but that was pretty much it. i suck. had a circle k board meeting. that's all the productivity i got out.

*monday* - work from 6am-9am, first day of school.. whoo hoo. riiiiiight. but i had no classes.. so i did cki tabling all day, it was super windy though, and it was irritating my eyes, not to mention all of our stuff was blowing around.. so we packed it up. i went home, took a nap and then came back for the meeting. some new people came which was fun.. i hope they come back. after the meeting i just chilled out with a friend, watched tv.. i'm hooked on all this real world/road rules challenge stuff. but dude.. i can't believe they kicked off julie!! melissa is such a jerk. so anyways..

today i'm a school trying to see if i'm going to be a theater minor or not.. but the office was closed from noon-1 so i decided to utilize the computers at my school.. heheh.. wish me a fun first day!

ps. can anyone cut hair?
