Birthday Love

Back in LA... Boredom abounds. I was okay the first couple of days, but the last two days my dad has taken my computer to work to try and fix the hinge. There are the Super Techies there that really know what they are doing, and they did a pretty good job at fixing it temporarily while we wait for another part to come in on Monday. Then I'll be another day without a computer!!! It's horrible... I just sit around and watch TV... atleast I don't snack on everything in sight!

So on the subject of the weight thing, I feel like one of the scales that I've used were a little off. My scale here has been reading 10 lbs less than a scale I used last week read. Weird! Well, I'm trying to eat healthy now, and I really should get out and exercise more, but I just don't have the motivation for it right now. I go dancing and all that, so I guess that is some kind of exercise. Especially Swing Dancing... that's a big calorie burner. Blues, not quite as much. I'm thinking maybe during this break I might take a private lesson with Mary or Eric... I'll see. I have no idea WHERE we would do it... maybe if we move the table in the "dining room" there is a little open spot of hardwood. That might work.

It was my birthday yesterday, the 16th. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to go dancing, but I guess it was okay. I get to go dancing the next three days straight. So my dad took me to one of my favorite restaurants around here and we told them it was my birthday and they brought me free cheesecake! It was really tasty... Even better because it was FREE! After dinner, we just came back to the house and I chilled out for the rest of the night. Checked the abundance of notifications on my Facebook. There were so many! Also, it's been Hannukah for the past 7 days. Tomorrow is the last night. My dad took me shopping Monday night and I got two new skirts.

I forgot to mention the box I got from my aunt last week and the one from my mom this week. Last week, the one from my Aunt, I got 3 new shirts, one from Express (not so pretty) and two from American Eagle (pretty cute). Also, 4 gift cards, $25 each. To American Eagle, Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic, JCPenny, and Barnes and Noble. Then the box from my mom contained one thing wrapped for my birthday and 8 little gifts for Hannukah. It was already the 4th night by the time I got to open them, since I was in San Jose, so I opened 4 on the first night. Uno, christmas earrings, jingly hair ties, and a $25 Walmart gift card. Then Sparklers. And glittery soap, same one that she gave me last year. Then tonight was lip gloss, also the same as she gave me last year. Christmas scented: Candy Cane, Christmas Cookie, and Hot Chocolate. Tasty too :) Tomorrow will be some kind of book, I'm not sure what book yet. So I had 6 gift cards, including the one I got from Victoria's secret on Black Friday. I wanted to use all of them before the end of break, because it's easier to shop around here. Tuesday I went shopping to Express, Gap, and Victoria's secret. Two new tops and a skirt at express, Underwear at Gap worth $25, and a new bra at Victoria's Secret of course. I went again on Wednesday to Express to use a coupon they gave me on Tuesday and bought this gorgeous dress I had fallen in love with the day before. I wore one of the new JCPenny skirts to dinner with my dad, and I'll probably wear that same outfit today. The only problem with that, is that I want to wear something that Alex hasn't seen before, and he's see the shirt I wore last night. I don't know what other shirt I have that will match that skirt that he hasn't seen before. The express shirt matches the express skirt, and the other express shirt matches the other JCP skirt, but I want to wear this one. I guess I'll just have to wear a shirt that he's seen. Maybe he'll forget he's seen it before. That would be more than perfect!

Dancing in about an hour, yay!

Dancer Hotties

Gaining weight. Bad. Need to work on that. I seriously need to get a hold on my weight. There is a problem with all this fluctuation. I think over break once I'm back in LA (tomorrow) I'll start riding the bike... maybe go south more. That way is a harder ride and I can go farther. That, and I need to quit the snacking. Maybe I'll take up chewing gum more. Or, at least try to quit the snacking. I actually did pretty good over Thanksgiving break because since I was getting wireless in my room, I never went downstairs and therefore was far away from the food. Sometimes I would grab a couple of things and take them upstairs with me... that wasn't good. I'll try to avoid that this time. Eat a peppermint instead. Or make tea. I'll figure something out.

So, winter break has started out pretty well. Friday after my final (which I got out of the last one in around an hour and a half! woot) I hung out with Christina with a while, chilled in my room, packed some, and chilled some more. Then Paul came back and I hung with him a bit. Then the house party, which was amazing as usual. The white elephant presents were really fun. I'm wearing the socks I got right now :) They have gingerbread men and candy canes on them. So cute! I actually probably drank way too much. More than I ever have in one sitting. Something like 7 or 8 over the course of the night. So much that I actually had to have a meeting with the toilet to bring some of it back up. I felt so much better after that though. Mark Henry really should have made me drink more fluids and I would have felt closer to 100% than I was. I wasn't really off, I just wasn't perfect. Then I drove up to Santa Clara with Jen, and had an awesome night at The Rent Party. I even got in free. (that was last night) I chilled at her house all day and then back down to LA tomorrow morning when my dad gets me bright and early at 9:30am. Geez, that feels so early. It shouldn't... but it does. *cringe*

Soo, about TRP. So much fun! Got to hang out with Dave Madison, who is quite easily one of the awesomest people ever. I've also found my new eye candy. The name is Seth, and ahh he's very nice to look at... and pretty fun to dance with too. He's perfectly chiseled, and has an amazing body. *licks lips* Very nice. I almost want to come to SF more often just to see him more! Gosh. He isn't wearing a shirt in his profile picture ^_^

So I love Jen to death, but I've been fading in and out of complete boredom today at her house. I was thoroughly amused that one of the kids ended up getting punished by getting sprayed by the garden hose on the patio. LMAO!!! I watched a couple of episodes of Grey's, a really weird movie, and then I started talking to John. We've been having the most interesting conversation. It's really keeping me from boredom, but the problem is that it's past two and now its keeping me from sleep. I'm not even tired! Crazy. Yes, so interesting conversation is our crazy drinking/sexual stories. Yeah. I tell no lies, it's pretty interesting!!! He's had more sexual experience than I expected for a super nerd engineer like him. I'm impressed.


Crazy munchies. But sleep... soon. Really. Promise.

Why Blog?

My printer is dangerous. You put it on the "fast draft" setting (which, obviously is the most efficient and pretty damn fast) and it seriously shoots paper out at you. It's like a rocket launcher for paper. I swear I flinch every time it shoots paper out.

Statics and Healthy Living finals down, Linear and Physics to go. I hadn't been worried about Linear all quarter because it is a pretty easy class. I'm not worried now, but my grade isn't doing so well. I miss one tiny little thing on the midterms and end up with a 75%. Suck. Physics is really going to be a bitch though. I'm gonna be studying like crazy for that one... And I'm still really worried. Maybe, it'll be just like the Statics Final where I was really worried and it wasn't that bad. I wish. I'm also very proud of myself that I caught up with all of my reading before each respective final. Go me.

Laundry Day! I needed it... I have something like 2 pairs of underwear left.

So today I wanted to address the reason why I started writing this blog in the first place. I'm not completely out of my mind and think that a ton of people read it, and I don't know exactly why they would want to. So no, I don't write for the readers. I write for myself. I write to get the feelings out there, or to tell a story to someone other than the walls. Also, I could post a story then completely forget about it and come back and read the story later and laugh all over again. Or cry. Whatever emotion the story was supposed to evoke. So there it is. That is why I blog.


Gonna watch Glee on TV tonight for the first time since school started. That is, as supposed to watching it online. Jealous?

Crush Rejected

You know how they say that you always want what you can't have? Well two of my most recent crushes have recently gotten into relationships. Which kind of hurts. I was hooked on Paul for a good 2-3 months and now he's dating someone else. He's so nonchalant about it too. He just came in and was like, "So you don't here it from anyone else, Me and Shannon are dating now. As of, about an hour ago." I flipped out. I was in complete shock. And it does hurt. I know that we would never work and I don't know if I even really want to date him, but I've never seen him while in a relationship before, and I don't think I like it.

I really wish I could just find someone that I liked that liked me and I could just have a relationship already. Maybe that would make all this easier. Find someone that I actually care about, so that other people's relationships don't bother me as much. *sigh*

I'm really not sure WHY it hurts so much, and that's what's confusing me. I don't really like Zack anymore, haven't for a little while. And I don't really like Paul anymore either. Halfway through the summer when I saw him in July my feelings came rushing back from nowhere, and I was expecting it. But when we came back to school I was expecting it again, and it wasn't there. And Zack was a really small crush anyways, and that went away pretty quickly. But I guess they're all kind of rushing back right now since I don't have any other crushes to distract me. I think maybe I wasn't so affected by Paul at the beginning of the year because at that point I really like Bill, but now I'm over that.

It's kind of weird to think that I don't have any real crushes right now. At least, not any that I put energy into because they're around all the time. The only crush I think I have right now is Eric, and that only actually makes a difference when I'm in LA because that's where he is. Which, I can't wait to go back and see him over break. The only thing in my way: Finals week. Ugh.

It would be nice to have some random person ask me out or tell me they liked me right now, maybe it would take my mind off all of this. It just all hit me really fast. I found out about Zack a couple days ago, and Paul today. And it's not like I have a problem with the people they are dating. I like them fine. They're both great girls and I'm friends with one and know I would be friends with the other one if I actually knew her. Maybe I'm just selfish that I don't want my guy friends dating other girls. Oh well.


Someday I'll find someone of my own... And have a healthy relationship. Unlike the last one.

Cute Couple

Last night was the annual Deep Fry Party with all the Clarinet peoples. So much fun! We played Cribbage, Quelf, and the throw-things-into-the-fire-and-watch-them-burn-pretty-colors game. So much deep fried food! Zucchini, Yams, Carrots, Brocolli, and Cheese for the savory things, and for the sweets: Deep fried cupcake! Apples, Bananas, Oreos (omg yum), Hello Panda cookies (also, omg yum, thanks to Jeannie for giving us a pack to fry), and CANDY BARS!!! So amazing. The only down side to the night was that Zack is dating this girl Carly and they are really cute together... and it just makes me want a boyfriend. Gah. It also didn't help that I had a crush on Zack at one point... but not really anymore. Oh well. The yummy fatteningness of the night overrules any badness.

So much Statics work and Review to do... I've been working on problems for almost 2 hours and I've only finished two problems. I can't figure out how to do the rest of them :/ suckage.

Charging my ipod :D

Bookstore won't take my Health book back since it has water damage from that day that it rained a shit load.

Choir rehearsal dragged on forever this afternoon... and I was starving during the entire thing. I'm standing in the same exact spot in the Balcony for when Polyphonics goes up at the beginning of the first Act and when Barbershop goes up for the Cameo at the beginning of the second Act. Fun fun fun. Tom is making the people who are in both U Singers and P Phon sing with U Singers in the double choir song: so annoyed!!! I want to sing the first choir song. Oh well, can't get everything. I'm happy that I'm actually IN P Phon. Call time at 6:15 then straight rehearsal until 7:30... may not be so nice. But Brian said that he got me a bottle of wine so that's happy. *party time* Now I just need cool wine glasses to drink it out of XD


Choir concert tonight at 8, then straight to Blues after the free reception!

Winter Plans

I should really stop munching. I feel like I've been eating nonstop since I got home at 7. First Chicken Pesto Pasta for dinner, then a pop tarts package, a handful of honey nut cheerios, and most recently, a can of corn. Crazy!

I watched a couple more Glee episodes today. I have one more then I'm caught up! How exciting. I was really excited a couple of nights ago because they did Tandem Charleston in one of the episodes. Hee hee. Then I'll get to watch a couple other shows... but pretty much I'm caught up! I could start watching Grey's Anatomy again and figure out what other shows that had stopped playing for a little while started again and catch up on those. There's always Bones as well.

So I found out a couple days ago that there will be a House party Friday, December 11th so my SF trip will be delayed a day. I'm not about to miss a House party! So the winter break plans are:
Friday (11th) House Party
Saturday (12th) SF --> Rent Party, maybe staying with Jen or someone else
Sunday or Monday (13/14) back down to LA, with the parents I think.
Wednesday (16) My Birthday! Even though the father claims that he wasn't going to spend any more money on me after he bought me a $300 IPod, he wants to take me shopping. Hell, I'll let him!
Friday (18) Do Something Blue, getting in Free for my birthday and dancing in the Birthday Jam!!! Maybe this time, Eric won't be completely distracted and come steal me during the Jam. A girl can dream, right?
-Insert interesting happenings here-
Maybe hanging out with Cal Poly people who are in the LA area, maybe just chilling in the house... Gonna go dancing as much as possible. Who knows what'll be happening the 25th... silly Christians!!! You leave us Jews with nothing to do.
Thursday (31) Dance Dance ReSolution at Lindy Groove!
Friday/Saturday (1/2) More dancing at places!

Other than that, I'm not sure. But I know I wanna go to the hot tub at least once so that I can finally use my new race suit. Yes, I'll be racing through the hot tub. I just wanna wear it! I'll probably take the father's bike out a couple times too.

With the Quickness

Short post today. Run down of the day: Really long classes, non-fun stuff. Mondays suck. Choir concert Friday, Yay. Got out of lab around 7:45pm which was nice. Went home, had a corn dog, changed and went to Madonna for Swing Dancing with Adam. When we came out we had to make a right since they're working on the street and it got super foggy. Crazy! We got to LOVR and it was totally clear. We decided to U-Turn and see it again. We pulled into Laguna Lake and go out. The fog felt like a super light mist, that's how dense it was. Then we left and once we got past Madonna and to the highway, the fog was gone. Telling people about it later, we realize it was a cloud. Still super weird and super awesome!!!

Madonna was alot of fun, I wore one of my new Black Friday shirts. And of course, I've only been wearing my Black Friday Jeans. So comfy!

A couple of things have been confessed to me today that I won't tell about, but they're kind of sending my mind a reeling! Eric also called me saying that it would probably be fine to stay with him for a couple days, maybe over New Years in LA. I'm still not completely sure about where exactly I'll be staying the rest of the break, but I'll figure something out. I think there are like 2 or 3 other people I might be able to stay with, but of course I wouldn't want to over stay my welcome at any given place. I might have to end up going back to my dad's house anyways. But not for long! It'll be like a pit stop.

Okay, short entry wasn't so short. Oh well.

Statics Kills

So, back in SLO now. It's so nice here, but I can't help but miss LA. I guess I don't really miss LA per se, but I miss Eric. In the 5 days that I was there, I saw him three times. And those days were heaven. Is it bad that I may just be falling for someone who is 200 miles away and is a bit over 5 years older than me? I didn't mention that I have no idea how he feels as well... Ugh.

So today Maya held a little photo shoot. It was a Vintage swing dancer shoot: super fun! It turned out perfectly, guys and girls matching up. I ended up being paired with Brian the entire time, which was a little annoying, but I guess okay. I would have liked to dance with someone else as well. I can't wait until I can see all the pictures too! I wonder how they turned out. Also, Kara mentioned that she has a ton of vintage stuff too big for her that I can try on! Exciting :D

After the photo shoot, back to reality and Statics. Jazz came over around 7, where we had a long really really laid back game of taboo with whoever walked into the suite hallway at the time. That was pretty fun. At 8pm, we buckled down and started the Statics homework. It really wouldn't be so bad if I wouldn't forget to write in random forces and not be able to calculate moments correctly. So annoying!!! I was so angry at the homework by the time I was done. But it got done, and in time to watch an episode of Glee! I would like to watch another one, but I feel like sleep would probably do me better.


Tomorrow are classes and I can't say anything other than I am SOO not looking forward to them. The only thing good about tomorrow will be Swing at Madonna. Hopefully lab will get out really early so we won't be late!

Again?

So, even though I was expecting to have a lot of time between posts, I have some unexplainable urge to post again. So here is post #2.

Today has been pretty much uneventful since the last post... Left over Thanksgiving stuff for dinner alone in my room since the father and the wife ate without me and didn't invite me down. Which I guess is a good think, because I don't really want to see either of them. I'm just so impossibly over it right now.

I finished catching up on episodes of Vampire Diaries and I'm in the middle of catching up on Glee. I forgot how much I love that show. I really need to actually watch it regularly... It's good for the soul. I just finished episode 5 of 12, so 7 more to go. I might watch one or two more tonight, but I should really pack and do some more reading. I read Ch. 5 for statics, but I still need to read the rest of Ch. 9 (I already started it) and Ch. 6. Also, in Healthy Living I need to read Ch. 5 and 6 I think. I have that stuff written down somewhere, I'm sure. Also, Ch. 33 and 34 in Physics wouldn't be such a bad thing either. Or starting the Statics assignment... Totally not a crime. I also need to make sure I watch the due dates of my Physics assignments. They're online, so it's not like I have big reminders as to when they are due unless I sign into the site and look. This past Wednesday I decided to look around 11:30pm and realized I was already a day late. I finished the assignment in about an hour and a half, but I only got 50% of the credit because it was late. I'm really annoyed at myself that I didn't think to check earlier so it wouldn't have been late, but I'm also glad that I DID think to check when I did so I at least got 50% instead of nothing.

Updated my IPod and started making a super random playlist to play in the car on the ride up to SLO with my friend tomorrow. It's going to be an interesting ride, music wise at least!

Shortcomings from last night

So this is my first entry. *applause* Why not start a blog, right? I have a lot to say... I might as well have a place to say it. Also, I feel like blog spot is a little more upper class than Xanga, the blogging website I used in middle school. Those were the old days. These are the new. Now, don't be expecting anything big from this, chances are I'm just going to completely forget about this blog and then make a random post every once in a while. But I'm going to try to keep the posts at minimum to once a month. Even if I get super busy with school, I'll try to make a post. We'll see.

On to the topic at hand: shortcomings from last night. A pretty vague topic; it could range from a bug bite *ouch* to pregnancy.
---random side note: I wish my ipod would charge faster!---
Anyways. So, last night I went to "Do Something Blue" in Pasadena with a couple friends. Around midnight, one of my male friends who lives closer to San Diego mentioned he needed a place to stay. I wasn't aware that this night was the one he needed to stay at my place, but I assured him it was okay. The next morning however, brought me to terms with my decision. The father and his wife were none so happy about my choice. The father had a little "house meeting" with me, telling me it is not okay to have members of the opposite sex stay over and blah blah blah, you get the picture. He asked for my keys back (which makes sense, I'm going back up to school tomorrow) and said that when I want to get in the house I'll have to wake them up.

He also mentioned that coming in at 4:45am was a wee bit too late, and that I'll have to come in earlier. I told him briefly about my plans for New Years and how they will entail me staying out all night, to which he said: "Fine." He would prefer me to stay out all night than to come back really late. Which is fine with me, it's easier that way.

Now that he's taken my keys, I said that I wouldn't come back at all over Winter Break. If I don't have keys, I don't want to live here. So now I have to figure out what to do now. I've asked a couple people about staying there, but the only secure place I know I can stay with be with the same friend that got me into this mess, at his house in SLO. Which isn't a problem, but I would just like to be in LA for at least a little bit... I enjoy the dance scene here. Sometimes.

So right now the plan is: Last final on Dec 11, Friday. Driving up to SJ or SF later that day, don't know what time yet. Staying with someone in SJ or SF for the next couple days, attending FNB and TRP Friday and Saturday nights. Maybe stay a little longer, that hasn't become apparent yet. Then after that, everything is open. Maybe get a right back down to SLO. Or LA. Or stay in SF. Who knows.


It should be an interesting break.
