yesterday there were a few hours in which it seemed like this whole trip was about to come crashing to a hault. luckily, we were able to work things out, and in 45 minutes jessica and i will be on our way to LAX.
this is pretty exciting!
feel free to call me while i’m away, guys! i’ll talk to you all next year!
ehhh
I sort of screwed myself up for school (maybe) because I didn’t pay for the classes I had picked out. I suddenly realized that you’re supposed to pay for them within 3 days or else you lose your place in class. Yeah, I’m dumb. On top of this, I want to change my schedule up, but there is no registration allowed again until January 2, and there is a big chance that the classes I want to switch into will be full.
I’m trying not to stress it too much. I’ll try to do the telephone registration on the 2nd while in NY, and if things don’t work out, I’ve decided I will take the semester off from school.
So we’ll see what happens.
Spending a few days (even if they were do to car troubles) in the mountains with my brother, his friend, and his family worked to set the mood for the holiday. Snowboarding, jacuzzi-ing to help ease muscles after the falling that took place during said snowboarding, eating a holiday meal, watching King Arthur, and being with THE BEST family you could possibly hope to spend a spontaneous few days with. They were seriously awesome, I mean I was asleep on their couch thursday morning after the whole car fiasco, and they had never seen or heard of me, and they treated me like I was their long lost daughter. So yes, I was there until Christmas Eve.
We got back about mid-afternoon on the 24th, and we were going to church(es) that evening. First we went to our church which was fun, I got to hang out with Jason and Bryon. When that service was over we went to this other hispanic church in another city for their Christmas Eve dealy. It was real good, I got to see some cousins and old friends, and the service was real special.
Christmas morning. We did not open presents until noonish because we all slept in– not a bad idea! Nathaniel came over after that and we exchanged gifts and spent a little while together. We were both so happy, I do not think I could have been happier!
At around 5 we went out to eat dinner, where we met up with an Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins. It’s kind of sad, we do not spend hardly any time with our extended family. I look at Nate’s family where some of his closest friends are his cousins, and then I look at mine, where the cousins I saw today I haven’t seen since I was little, even though they live in Pasadena. Anyway, it was great to have dinner, and then we came to our house for dessert and to spend more time together. After they left, my parents and I watched The Sound of Music!
Seriously, it might sound very simple, but I enjoyed it so much! I do not want to get overly cheesy, but it’s cool to know the true meaning of Christmas, and to be able to take it further and spend time with those you love. I was so happy, I did not even care what I was recieving!
But on that note…
I am much too lazy to take pictures of everything individually! Group pictures of the presents:
(these are done in order of who I recieved gifts from first, not order of favorites or anything like that)
From the parents I got two tank tops (I wear these kinds of ‘camis’ so much!), pajamas, cute skirt, three scarves, $350 for new york, some unmentionables from victoria’s secret (haha, no those aren’t included in the picture, and no I didn’t unwrap them in front of my dad and my brother… that would have been a bit akward), and they are going to reimburse me for the luggage I bought and a jacket I bought for my trip. It was so much more than I expected from them, it was so overwhelming!
From the brother I got some gap courderoy pants that I have desperately been NEEDING for work (seriously, up to now my choices have been some shorts that don’t work in cold weather, pants that are way too tight and hurt to wear lol, or pants that are too loose and manage to hike themselves down at the wrong moments), and some incredibly awesome shoes. Awesome awesome awesome! They’re black flats but ah! They’re awesome!
From the boyfriend I got this cool tote from urban outfitters, I had been looking for a bigger purse/tote type bag, so it works perfectly! I also got this cute black gap skirt (should go real good with the shoes from my bro!), a really pretty teal/greyish gap skirt, and the best skirt ever made (also from the gap)! It’s this brown… suede (? I think it’s made from suede) skirt, I have been eyeing it for a while, and now I have it! muahahahahha. Nateley is awesome! Ahhhh, the gap is your friend. sometimes. When it comes to skirts and pants it definitely is! Nate also got me these travel-sized shampoo and conditioners from victoria’s secret, so I can keep my hair looking, feeling, and smelling “so sexy,” as their scent is called =)
and From the relatives I got $20. Pretty nice considering I hadn’t talked to them in ages! Oh, and they brought over some journals from my great grandfather! Pretty neat stuff, there are newspaper clippings from 1907 and they’re filled with pretty handwriting. And they payed for dinner.
So lets have a quick update on my life, no?
Yesterday (Wednesday) after a long day spent in malls (although I was with Nate, so it was not too bad), my brother randomly asked me if I wanted to go snowboarding with his friend (he’s uninsured to drive right now, it’s kind of pointless to insure him for the 3 weeks he’s at home) and I randomly agreed. This was at about 6pm, and I still had to buy a gift for my dad to give away at his job (you can tell how heartwarming it was), so I rushed out to buy the stuff for a gift basket, came back and put the basket together, threw together a bag, and my brother and I were on our way.
Once on the road, we made pretty good time, we were on our way up the mountain and I’d only been driving for a bit over an hour. Unfortunately my car began to have trouble, and what I have been fearing for months finally happened: my clutch burned out. Basically I could no longer go up the hill, I only rolled backwards. My brother and I were freaking out because we were by a curve in the road, it was dark, and the cars were coming, but thankfully we did not get hit. I was able to back up into a turn out safely, we called AAA, and Daniel’s friend came and waited for us. It sucks because we were only 10 minutes away! Eventually a tow truck came and took my car to a nearby shop, and we went along to my brother’s friend’s house. Crazy times.
We still went snowboarding today, it was pretty fun! I am real sore right now, but it was worth it. Daniel (my brother’s friend… it’s confusing because they’re both named Daniel. We’ll call the friend Danny). Okay so Danny actually works at the ski/snowbaord place, so we were able to get VIP passes and all that stuff, it was pretty cool. Near the end of our time there, a windstorm picked up, and it was a crazy sight! Snowboards flying all over the place, a snow tornado, ski lifts stopped and out of power…
As you can see, this has turned out to be anything but your normal trip.
For some reason though, I am pretty calm about it all. It’s been a real interesting time.
Oh, but did I mention that my car won’t be fixed until Monday? Yeah. Originally we were supposed to come back home tonight, but we’re going to spend the night again and some how get home tomorrow. It’s probably just as well for us to not go home tonight because I am incredibly tired and sore, but it sucks because I had hoped to possibly go to dinner or see Christmas lights tonight with Nate =/ Oh well, those were my corny wishes anyway, Nateley’s probably relieved, haha.
So to recap, I’m safe, I’m sore, I’m thankful, I’m warm, and I owe my parents a lot of money.
I went to the post office today and saw some pretty strange stuff during my 10 minute wait in line. For example, everybody was looking at the ground for a while, and I could not figure out why. A few minutes later I saw that there was this little dog walking around on the floor of the post office, but he was on wheels? Sort of like he was pulling a sled, except not. It was strange but he was wheeling himself around and was pretty cute.
I also saw a woman with the hugest ‘ghetto booty’ I have ever seen. No joke, this thing stuck more than half a foot out from behind the rest of her body… yeah.
Seriously, since when do kids get video games with their food? I know it’s not the coolest game ever, but when I was 4 or 5, I desperately wanted a hand held video game but my parents couldn’t afford one. I would have never thought that one day I’d get one with my hamburger and fries! Watch, in 10 more years, kids are going to be getting palm pilots and stuff with their food.
Tomorrow I will finally have some money and then I’ll get to buy some Christmas gifts. I know it is selfish, but even though I’ll be getting a nice check from work and a lot from Jessica (to pay me back for the money I put down for my trip), I don’t think I’ll use most of it on gifts for people. I want to be able to go out and buy things and eat good food and do fun things while I’m there. It makes me feel like the worst person, but what can I do?
I’m guessing it probably shouldn’t, but it bothers me that Nate talks on the phone with other girls and they call him and stuff. I think what bothers me more is that they’re his friends, and he’s talking to them about the problems he’s having with me right now, and its just wierd. I mean, I know its basically the same thing as me talking to my friends about it, even some of my guy friends… but I’ve only talked to Jason and Jonathan, and they’re more friends with him than me anyway. These girls I know nothing about other than that they bought him some hollister shirts for christmas and apparently he got them some stuff too.
=/
oh, shopping was a bust yesterday. I bought two things from one store and that was it.
p.s. hollister shirts are tiny. everything in there is tiny.
(I added my commentary in bold)

You Know You’re From SoCal When… |
|
You’re driving on the 101 and see a clear cut definition of where the smog begins and ends I don’t go on the 101 so so much, but if you go to the top of a hill you can see it pretty well You’re sitting in traffic for at least an hour at any given part of the day yeah… we had a second of a slowdown around LAX at 2:30 in the morning when we were going to Mammoth, haha. You go to the beach and see that real lifeguards actually do look like the lifeguards from Baywatch since my brother is a lifeguard, I would prefer not to look at him that way. thanks. You see purple and gold and the word “Threepeat” on every corner haha, luckily not anymore. I don’t like basketball and I know too many people who get too excited about the lakers. You begin to “lie” to your friends about where you are (i.e. “Yeah I’m like 20 minutes away”) – when you know that it’ll take you at least an hour to get there). Dani told me she was 20 minutes away from my house when she was coming back from santa barbara, but I didn’t believe her. Too bad she actually did show up 20 minutes later. I mean, it was cool, but she took some crazy shortcut to do that You eat a different ethnic food for every meal haha since my parents are two different races, i love italian food, and i’m surrounded by asian food a lot… yeah. usually it’s a mix of different ethnic foods though, not a specific ethnicity each meal. You look around at the nice cars around you during traffic, thinking it’ll be your favorite Laker or WB star. umm. not really. but in the summer, nate and i were going to venice beach and we saw a black lexus and for a second i thought it was ashlee simpsons mom. i know, i suck, leave me alone. You make a conscious choice to watch Jay Leno over David Letterman i don’t really watch either… You mourned for Tupac and not for Biggie no. You know it’s best not to be on the 405 at 4:05 pm. Getting anywhere from point A to point B, no matter what the distance, takes about “twenty minutes”. i guess so… it depends because a lot of stuff in LB takes twenty minutes to get to, but if you’re coming home from LA at night when there’s no traffic, you can get from your venue or whatever to your offramp in 20ish minutes. So yeah, I guess You know what neighborhood someone lives in by the degree of damage incurred during the riots. not so much. two riots occured simutaneously within a mile of my house during that whole thing, but i never think “oh yes, the inglewood area is the area that had this [ ] much rioting.” You’ve inadvertently learned Spanish. it happens when you’re half guatemalan You’ve got to bring the cat/plants in when it drops to 55 degrees. we let our plants die, muahahahaha. and i dislike cats. muahahahaha. but if i did, i’d probably bring them in. right now it’s 63 degrees and i’m kind of chilly, so… In the “winter”, you can go to the beach and ski at Big Bear on the same day. true, but why would you? You’ve bumped into a celebrity at El Pollo Loco. no, actually i didn’t. You know what “sigalert”, “PCH”, and “the five” mean. sigalert=an accident that’s expected to take a half hour or more to clear off of a freeway. ex: the sigalert on the 91 is backing you up from the 710. PCH= pacific coast highway… a pretty cool street when you think about it. i live a few blocks north of it, it’s a street that will take you from way southern california up to… at least the bay area? it’ll put you in front of nice beaches in orange county and santa monica, some rich areas in malibu, the straight ghetto in other places, yeah. the five= the 5 freeway. also nifty, it’ll take you from the mexican border to the canadian border. Your pizza delivery guy is also on contract with Warner Bros. mmm no, it’s not that crazy If your destination is more than 5 minutes away on foot, you’re definitely driving. walking isn’t really an option unless you’re seriously going just down the street. i drive to the mail box down the street… that can’t be good. You have a gym membership because it’s mandatory. i had a gym membership for a month, but then i cancelled it. Your TV show is interrupted by a police chase. sigh. i will never forgive whoever caused a police chase during the SERIES FINALE of full house. i actually cried. when the oj simpson case was going on, there was no watching tv, it was always “late breaking news” You can’t fall asleep without the lull of a helicopter flying overhead. yeah i can. maybe a few times a year do i get annoyed by a helicopter. in inglewood i got annoyed by airplanes because i lived a mile from LAX and that was about the biggest pain you can imagine. When tourists ask where they can get souvenirs, you direct them to Venice Beach. haha somebody asked me for tourist information in Long Beach when i was walking into work. but seriously, long beach? if you’re already downtown, there isn’t much more touristy stuff to see. You know someone named Freedom, Rainbow, Persephone or Destiny. no i don’t. You’ve trespassed through private property to get to the “Hollywood” sign. this reminds me of when dani and ramany and i tried to get to the hollywood sign and i drove up some hill and stalled and yeah, we didn’t make it to the sign because it was when i was first learning how to drive a stick. You’ve partied in Tijuana at least once. been to tijuana but never partied there. You know Hollywood has a “lake”. really now. that i wasn’t aware of. You don’t stop at a STOP sign, you do a California Roll. true unless there is a cop around waiting for you to do that. but i mean, if there are no cars or pedestrians, or if it’s your only chance to turn or go before a long string of cars comes… it doesn’t make much sense to stop COMPLETELY. You’ve lost your car in the Century City Shopping Center parking lot. no. You’ve ever bought oranges, flowers, cherries or peanuts on a freeway off-ramp. flowers, baby! I remember in middle school we had to get into groups and write things we had in common. one of the questions was what job would you never want to have and we said “selling oranges by the freeway” hahaha. You think that Venice is a beach. indeed it is You drive next to a Rolls Royce and don’t notice. i dont really know cars that much. You’ve started crossing a street and returned to the curb when the DON’T WALK sign started flashing. yeah unless there is a cop waiting to give you a ticket. i almost got a j-walking ticket for starting during the flashing hand thing near school when i was 15. You’ve never listened to NPR. …can’t say that i have. national public radio, right? Calling your neighbors requires knowing their area code. neighbors no, but friends sometimes. You have a favorite Thai restaurant. don’t really like thai, but oh man phukket thai on second street was good! (thanks ramany!) You think Johnnny Rocket’s is an accurate depiction of a diner. it’s a fun place. when annie and i were 12 we pooled our money and only had 80 cents, so we went to johnny rocket’s and ordered bacon. they didn’t want to give it to us, because it was supposed to be a burger topping, but finally they gave us two pieces of bacon and some lettuce on a tray. so thankyou johnny rockets. You think Manhattan is a beach. yes You eat pineapple on pizza. oh-heck-no (.net)! You’ve been to Disneyland more times than Downtown. i used to go to disneyland more frequently but now i haven’t gone since 8th grade. When giving directions , you follow up with the phrase: “With/Without traffic.” lol, i sort of did that up there ^^^ at the 20 minutes question You classify new people you meet by their Area Code. An “818″ would never date a “562″ and anyone from “323″ or “213″ is ghetto/second class. Best area code: “310.” pshh. i think 310 is santa monica, but 562 rules. i used to live in 310 and then 213 and then 310 and then 562… i haven’t really heard of these distinctions. the only one thing is that the 909 is “the valley,” so it’s supposed to be a bunch of rednecks. and 714 is orange county. Driving along, you see a high-speed police chase approaching in your rear view mirror. You don’t panic or even flinch. Instead, you call your friends on your car phone and tell them you’re on TV. i get panicked because i’m scared i’ll crash into them or get a ticket or something. reminds me of the oj simpson case though, because it was “slow-speed” or whatever, so all the cars were stopped on the freeways and overpasses and people were out of their cars waving at the hellicopters. You know that if you drive two miles in any direction you will find a McDonald’s or a Starbucks. not so much mc donalds anymore, but definitely starbucks. and subway. Your cell phone has left a permanant impression on the side of your head. nope. You never, ever go into the water at the Beach. You barely touch the sand. depends on the beach. i’ll normally dip my feet in, but i’ll only go in all the way depending on who goes with me. but for example, you are not getting me in the water here in long beach. take me to seal beach or sunset or bolsa chica etc, you’ll get me in. Everyone you know has 3+ phone numbers. Home, Office, mobile, pager, two-way, voicemail….. home, cell phone, sometimes work, but that’s about it. It is not unusual for your waitress at a restaurant to have blue streaked hair, a dragon tattoo and tounge piercing. at a restaurant… not really, but coffee shops will have that. You are awakened in the middle of the night by a moderate earthquake. Your reply: “That ain’t even a 5-pointer” and go back to sleep. i’ve always slept through earth quakes which is in part why i am scared to death of them. i dont know how they feel. You think you are better than the people who live “Over the Hill”. It don’t matter which side of the hill you are currently residing, you are just better than them, for whatever reason. huh? You live 10 miles from work. It takes you 60 minutes to get home. see, i dont have a “real” job, i have a job that it really takes no time to get home from, lol. Walking out of Jamba Juice, you see that a movie is being shot on-location across the street. or at school. like in the summer they use the high schools a lot, so if you went to summer practice for sports you’d see crews. umm adam sandler was down at the pike (where i work) a few weeks ago filming something… You are not happy, or even slightly exited that there may be a movie star there. You just say, ” They f*ckin better not be blocking my parking space.” i have to say, i would tend to get excited because i suck. You have to yell at your bank teller through a 2 inch thick wall of plexi-glass. lol what i hate are those door things. how you can’t open the doors at the same time, so you’re trying to give them your deposit and they’re trying to give you a reciept or something and the doors wont open? i can’t really explain it. That last one goes for your local convienience store man, too. true true You go to Las Vegas for a weekend getaway and the whole trip cost you $50. i don’t go for weekend getaways to las vegas. You personally know at least 5 people with agents. no You personally know at least 3 people who have been in a movie or TV show. if you can count tv commercials and news casts then yeah You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don’t have any. definitely. but then i get to thinking, and if we have in n out… do they have something we don’t? because then that sucks too! You know that not everyone in Beverly Hills is a millionaire. well considering that a 3 bedroom house in the ghetto will cost you $400,000 these days, i would think that to live in beverly hills… yeah, you actually do need to have a million lying around. unless you’re at ucla or something, but that doesn’t really count. You know who the tinsel underwear dude in Venice Beach is. haha yeah You’ve done something on a street corner in an attempt to get money (i.e. sang, tap danced, told jokes). maybe for a second, with a friend, as a joke, but i wouldn’t make a serious attempt. You’ve gotten parking tickets from parking in the red zone in front of your house. not for a red zone, but for street sweeping yes. You say you live in LA when really you live in a subsection of a subsection of a subsection of southern LA. when i lived in inglewood i said LA, but long beach is just long beach, unless i’m talking to somebody from far away, then it’s just LA Any major movie star is picking out the best portobello mushrooms next to you at the grocers and you don’t notice. no. The guy at 8:30 in the morning at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney. i guess so, but i dont really make it an effort ot be in the middle of la, hollywood, or santa monica at 8:30 in the morning just to get starbucks, lol, so i wouldn’t really know… You really can never be too rich or too thin. false and false. The gym is packed at 3pm…on a workday. lol i never once went to the gym when i had the membership, so i dont know. The workday starts at 10am…or whenever you get out of your therapy session. workdays will vary depending on what work you do, no? Any invitation comes with, “Starts at 8pm or as soon as you can get through traffic.” no, what you do is tell people to be there a half hour before you want them to actually show up. You have never met a waiter that wasn’t really an “Actor.” uhh yeah i have. You never go to a coffee house without a copy of a script – any script. uhh actually i’ve never gone into one without a script, thankyou very much. It’s sprinkling and there’s a report on every news station about “STORM WATCH ’99″ this is true. a few weeks ago when it was raining, the morning news had all the reporters in different areas of “the southland” where the rain was coming down. They were saying things like “we got a record of 2 inches of rain last night! we’ve already had over 60% of the precipitation we usually throughout all of winter!” And I remember last year they thought el nino was going to happen again, abc kept advertising that they were ready to track the storm with the “Doppler 7000– keeping you safe!” You call 911 and they put you on hold. they did that to my dad when he was calling to report a stalled car in the middle of a freeway You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:30 tae-bo class. uhh no. The three hour traffic jam you just sat through wasn’t caused by a horrific 9 car pile-up, but by everyone slowing to rubberneck at a lost shoe lying on the shoulder. lol, i don’t know about the shoe part, but rubbernecking definitely is annoying. but i catch myself doing it too, its sort of instinctive. A nurse can look at you in all seriousness and ask, “you don’t drink or smoke, right?” when you’re getting a physical… i dont get this question, so my answer might seem dumb. i dont know. All the “cool gyms” allow pedestrians on the street a full-view of those working out. Literally, you can’t drive by Wilshire without staring into L.A. Fitness. Perhaps a new form of window shopping? lol. that’s my problem with gyms. i dont want people seeing me sweat! The hot seasonal party favor is a candied apple from Neiman’s. The apples are called “Skinny Dippers.” uhh okay. i’m not exactly an upperclass beverly hills girl who goes to seasonal party’s with favors from Neiman Marcus. The waitress asks if you’d like “carbs” in your meal. i like carbs, thankyou very much. spaghetti and bread, my two main food groups… how could you live with out them? Bars card. For real. yeah You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Los Angeles. guess so… |

if you actually read through all of that, i… feel sorry for you. as you can see, my boredom got the better of me.
from
Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly
Haha, this would actually be a pretty good mix.
1. For now we’ll say goodbye, We know it’s not the last time. I’ve lost the best part of my day, but it’s better where you’re going anyway.
2. When I lift you up they come running. When I sing your song, the world’s turning to you. Just the sound of your name is a beautiful thing and I love you I love you I love you.
3. You told us of your new life there, You got someone coming around, gluing tinsel to your crown.
4. Love, hate, life, and certain death, all in just one breath. Mixed up, straight down, broken, closed down, begun and then ounwound.
5. I see that part of this has something to do with mediocore memory, this take is harder than the old and new combined.
6. Nobody likes a child who complains and I won’t be that child anymore.
7. And all the pictures that I kept, and all the things I should have said, it was you and i, but mostly me.
8. As we die, both you and I, with in my head in my hands, hear me cry.
9. But I knew that he’d never forget her while her memory worked in reverse to keep her safe from herself. Oh my, nothing else could have been done, she made her life a lie.
10. And I will take a step back, and I’ll let you ahead, and I will take a step away and see if you come back.
11. Do you find yourself from day to day, staring at a strangers face, as you find yourself to your dismay, looking into your own face. Let the week say I am strong, let yourself say I was wrong, let your heart move on and on, let your heart move on.
12. I never conquered, rarely came, tomorrow holds such better days. Days when I can still feel alive, when I can’t wait to get outside. The tour is over, I’ve survived. I can’t wait till I get home, to pass the time in my room alone.
13. And I can be the one to show you that life’s not simple enough. And I can be the one to tell you that I’ve held this back for too long.
14. So needless to say, I’m odds and ends again. But it’s me stumbling away, slowly learning that life is okay. Say it after me, it’s no better to be safe than sorry.
15. She takes everything. Whatever she wants, It’s everything.
16. I’m so sick of you tonight. You never stay awake when I get home. Is something wrong with me? Something wrong with you? I really wish I knew.
17. I don’t know what to say or do, I can’t eat when I’m with you. Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go. And won’t you come to my next show?
18. You’re angry when you’re beautiful, your love is such a tease. I’m drowning in your dizzy noise, I wanna feel you scream.
19. The heartbreak, the heartache is more than I wanted. We gave up, we made up, it’s not like you cared. Deception, depression is all that I’ve got. Am I losing what’s there?
20. Whoa, you know! You could only burn my bridges. Whoa, you know! You just can’t let it sink in, you could be my heroine.
21. In your eyes, oh, I want to be that complete. I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.
22. I’ll give you a taste, when you think that you know me, I’ll blow you away. You don’t know me so well, I think you know that now. I’m unbreakable, there’s no need for fragile stickers.
23. If you want to dance, if she wants to leave, I’ll go out of my way. I’ll do anything, and one word is all I need.
24. I guess that this is over now, I gues it’s called a falling out. But everyday I’m learning how to make it through this life I’m in.
25. ’cause everybody wants a dream, something they can barely see, and though my heart will break, there’s more that I could take, I could never let it be.
Oh, by the way, I completely screwed myself over in political science. It’s kind of funny that last week I was in the running to get an A, and now I hope I managed a C. One final to go.
Things are so wierd right now! I’m not so comfortable with it or with talking about it but whatever. I don’t know if Nate and I will last. I want it to, but then I don’t. We were talking yesterday about how we do not know each other anymore. It will be wierd to see how things go. I feel so far from everybody I know. Oh, and how’s this for random? Laura (some of you will know who that is) came to visit me today. She wanted to see my room and she stayed to talk for a while. This really makes no sense. I don’t know. She’s nice in person, but I know she ttalks a lot. Or something. I hate to admit it, but I think we’re too alike. And that makes it harder for me to like her. But then it was good to talk to her. Arghhh. I was real close to hopping in my car this afternoon and driving away, up to san francisco or into another state just for today and tomorrow. It would get me a chance to study on my own and get away from everything. But then I realized that my car is probably not in any condition to do all of that, plus I have no money for gas, and yeah. Plus I need my computer to write some papers. Aye. Anyway. Sorry for another pointless post, I don’t really have anything of value (or anything untrue… ha) to say. But I have to write it somewhere.
Can’t wait to get away over New Years. It’ll suck to not have anybody to kiss at midnight on the 31st, but it’ll be a good break I think.
