You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it's way

Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart (young at heart, frank sinatra)

okay, as most of you know, i'm not really emo in my blog because for one thing, i cannot stand it when other people say things like, "OMG, i just want to *die* because my boyfriend does not want to marry me." stupid crap like that does not interest me. i usually put little updates here and there, give shout outs to all the homies, and always a link or two on an interesting story or picture. i'm not saying my way is right or anything, but i think it's better than being all emo every dang day. i wanted to include a little tidbit that i normally wouldn't share with most of you. i went to allison's bridal shower this afternoon and had a great time. it was so awesome to see her and this guy that she is about to marry, because they seem genuinely happy. unlike some other people i've seem who are younger and look like they're really rushing things. that got me thinking on the way home today that i should not ever "settle" for any guy. granted, nobody is perfect, but if there are a few red flags, then i need to move on. it was a great hour drive back home to think about this. but of course, the "pantry soup factor" comes into play. recap on P.S.F.: whenever i eat my mom's famous pantry soup, and spill on a white shirt (not on purpose) some new guy always pops into my life. it's funny because i tried my hardest not to spill today, and thought i hadn't until i went into the bathroom and saw a huge spot. i sort of laughed with the fam, and was like, "all right, time for mr. right to come over." ahhhh, yes, so funny. because guess who called. oh yes, the ex. it sort of surprised me because i was hoping it was my husband, mark. :) but yeah, i guess i wasn't expecting him to call. i felt kinda bad, cause when we were about to go, he kept telling me to give him a call next time i was in davis. i just said, "uh-huh." i feel bad because i wasn't really excited about it, but i don't need to be, right?? i don't want to date this guy again, so i don't need to give myself false expectations like, "it's going to be so great if i go visit and hang out with him." arg. i'm going to journal about this...but i'm frustrated because i was so happy that i wasn't writing about any one specific boy. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! oh well, he'll get like a sentence or two. most will be on what i feel i've learned this last month or so. :)

so fun times for the nfl draft. boller got picked in the first round, packers got some crappy numbers in each round. so many pac 10 players went, too...like 8 or something. too bad everyone calls it the pathetic 10. yeah, looks pretty pathetic right now. yeah for 2 cal guys going in the first round!! these guys came from a season of 1-10 and stepping it up last year. horray for them. oh, and i randomly came across this awesome pic the other day...speaking of cal. :)

and i apologize to two wonderful girls i met the other day at lake elizabeth. jessica and alecia...HELLO!!!! sorry i didn't mention you before. but you rock and i hope that we can hang out some more!!

okay, this is starting to bug me, and i need to get it off my chest. i'm totally bothered by people i see in coffee shops other than starbucks. i hear a lot of talk about how people who go to starbucks are yuppies. (i frequent both starbucks and mom & pop type places...usually whatever's closer...just so you know my background.) but this is my message to those who drink only at non-starbucks places and call everyone else a "yuppy": if you are ordering anything other than a regular or decaf cup of coffee, you are a freaking yuppie too. so ha ha!!

a few pics to share with you. this one is an awesome space pic. i'm a dork and proud of it. how come i never get a victory beer this large when i win championship soccer games?? and hello, have i linked these 2 polar bear pics yet?? awwwwwwwwww!!

well, that's all outta me. sorry it's a random entry with me mainly ranting. but that's what i get to do. i'm not forcing you to read this. it isn't russia. hahahahahah!! i'm really excited now cause it's raining and one of my fav things is to fall asleep to the rain. night!!

quiz time!!
this was kinda cool

When are you?


weird quiz...

Red/Green/Blue:
To you, the world is logical. Everything happens
for a reason, life is scientific. You like to
find solutions. I doubt you needed to take this
quiz in order to realize this.
What color do you see the world in?


dang, i was hoping to get pink. AND, i have a false sense of contentness. thanks to this quiz, i know i'm not really happy. hee hee. it's weird, it looks like the beginning of an an anime orgy. hahahahahahahah

You are blue. You are somewhat innocent, in the fact that your genius only extends to the physical world. You have a false sense of contentness. You are usually the quiet one, the genius. Everyone can count on you to help when they have problems, but you only fall short of being able to solve your own.

What inner color are you?
