it's been a while

So, i made it thru the second day of school. Amazing huh? It's been a while since i've posted anything here, most likely because i've basically no internet connection for almost all of the summer. (i'm kinda amazed i survived) But, with school starting up again, my return to online, and crunch time beginning for applying for schools, i thought i'd try and start this up again. More of an extension of my .Mac website (logical insanity also) and the work (my work ;) ) i'll be hosting there. I was thinking i could post updates and other junk here. I'm got sure if i'm going to follow thru with it, but hey, it's worth a shot. So go visit my site, and tell me what you think.

beachness

Today has been good. Now what i planned, but still good. Kris (and Ellie maybe) were supposed to come down today, but couldn't. Just my usual luck. ... But whatever, there's nothing i can do about it now. So, on with my day so far...after i talked with Kris and confirmed that she was not coming, i took my time getting up and eventually went for a run. Boy, was that fun...not. I am still really glad i finally did run though. I ran (well...more like walked with a little bit of running interspersed) from the pier to the wedge. Watched the posers try and bodysurf, that was funny. Then i ran (more actual running this time) back through the allies (the asphalt was nicer on my knees). Stopped and chatted w/this dad i know for a while then went home and took a shower. Then when back to the beach, biked all the way to 34th Street (i had never been that far down on the beach side), came back, grabbed some pizza at Pete's, ate that while reading a bit of my book. Smiled nice at the guys working and then headed home. Where, i finally got to check my email (no practice Monday!!!!! another grin) and type this. Fun fun. Waaaaay more solitary than i had wanted, but still very good.

Oh, and just in case anyone cares i've trained for the past few days, and i'm going to be working a partial shift on the 4th. Go me! Really, go me! None of my patented sarcasm here, just good old fashioned grins. (Well...maybe not old fashioned) I've met a ton of new people, and it's really cool to have something to do (plus it makes me money!) But more on all that later. The Sopranos DVD awaits.

picture sharing

So, Ellie and Kristin just left a few minutes ago, (hi you two waves, if your reading this go you people for being lame enough to go find this!) and i'm now sitting here typing this, half watching National Lampoon's Vacation (or really waiting for the Daily Show to come on again). We went up to Old Town where in the lot, Ellie did the worst parking job ever. She was about 2 inches from hitting the wall and I ended up reparking it. We then went to Ghirardelli's (Kris had a coupon) for ice cream sundaes. I didn't have one, but that probably was a good thing as my stomach wasn't agreeing with me for some reason. Still not quite sure why. Once they finished we walked over to Urban, looked till they closed, then headed back to my house. There, i was somehow talked into sharing my entire personal photo library and most of the rest of the pics i have. Sadly (or maybe happily) i still don't think they now the depth of my obsession with Alias and Angel. I think this is a good thing. Or is it me being the overly solitary introverted person i for some reason like to be. Why i do this i do not know, but i do. I could conjecture at why, but i really don't want to go on about it here. Particularly if Ellie and/or Kristin is reading this.

Fun. Fun. Ain't i lame. I'm going back to my tv now.

my ears!!!!!!

My {evil} brother is playing that William Hung (or whatever the hell the idiot's name is!) really loud on the desktop's (i.e. my mother's computer which has waaay too much power for her, so my brother uses it all the time too) stereo. HEEEEEEEELP! But now i've moved into the living room (where the real stereo is. Now the evil singer is being drowned out by my Mozart CD (left over from studying for my German final). Ahhh...the sounds of pretty things. Me like pretty things. So much nicer than annoying asian guy.

Sigh.

Now, i don't actually like classical all that much, but lately it's been a nice mellower break from the stuff i normally {am forced to} listen to.

On a happier note (and far more girlie, particularly for me), i'm chatting presently with this guy i like for the second nite in a row. He was in one of my classes this last year and i seriously think he has a thing for me too, but i really don't know. I would normally act in this situation, but i'm (hopefully, i still haven't been scheduled yet) going to be working at the beach and he's got summer school here. Thus making a relationship kinda difficult. But whatever, he's fun to talk to, so i'll just run with that.

He's off. As am i (coffee with another guy friend awaits...)

home

So i be home. As much as i loved Cancun, by the end of the week i just wanted to be home. I was tired, both physically and of having to avoid my mother and her wrath. The trip was fun (oh boy was the night life good [insert BIG mischievous grin here]), but yeah i just was afraid that this one week would ruin my entire summer. And with my mother there, albeit in a different room and technically a different hotel, it was a bit stressful in that way.

But i'm home now and life is good.

That and i have my internet back! I never (well actually i did, but i refused to acknowledge it) realized how much use my internet. It's kinda scary actually, but i'm gonna try not to dwell on that, after all it's

summer.

Cheers to that. I'd type more, i do have more interesting tales to spin (oh...i might transcribe my scribblings from my trip later...)

i think i'm gonna cry

I don't pretend to be a hard core Lakers fan. Truthfully i could be considered a fair weather fan, but i still try and follow things in and around the club. Still, i just read the news from the Lakers' camp and i think i'm gonna cry. Phil is gone. Shaq wants out. Kobe is a free agent. Malone opted out and it looks like Payton will also. (Though Malone may still be wearing the yellow and purple next year, knees allowing) That and there's talk that Fisher may leave also. Fisher, the one guy, even when he's not playing so hot, that you gotta love. This leaves us with...er...a..that russian guy who can't play d? Now i am gonna cry.

Wanh!

Ok, cry over, but i'm still pissed. I love the Lakers. Everybody makes fun of them for being so LA, but i'm from LA (well close enough) and i don't care. I love LA and i love the Lakers (or what's left of them i guess.)

But what i was going to post on before i got meanly distracted by Laker news, packing. I suck at packing. For one thing i always over pack, even when i think i don't. I can never find the stuff i want, or i need to do laundry to have it (like what i'm doing now). All that and i always have to do it absolute last minute. As of right now, i'm completely on track for my packing method. Go me! Not.

I normally would be telling myself to focus on the fact that 24 hours from now i'll be in beautiful Cancun Mexico with two of my amazing friends and hopefully sipping a drink of some sort. But i can seem to focus on how i'm not packed yet (and i can't really do anything about that till the dryer beeps). So to vent my almost-frustration, i type this very disjointed and meandering entry. Entertaining ain't i? Well, actually i must be if you've read this far. So ha! I am entertaining. Naner naner naner! Oh, wait you're not reading anymore? My mistake. Thank goodness for the

BEEP!

spider-man

My brother is watching the dumb spider-man trailer (really loud) for like the 5th time now! Is he trying to make wish i didn't have ears?!? Now is going thru the lame-trying-to-more-dramatic-than-it-is chant music! Arg!!! I hated the first movie and now i'm going to have to deal with all the yammering that will go on for the second! Yuck! The last scene of the first movie might as well have been replaced with:

There will be another movie.
And yes, she knows!

Hrump! ...ok rant over.
