i can't believe how much fun i had on my birthday this year!! i think this surpasses my 21st birthday as being the best one ever!! yes, even without james being here!! :(
my mommy got be some beautiful white roses and hydrangeas that i had by my desk all week. flowers make me soooo happy, and i was really productive cause i was all smiley all week. hee hee!! i started the morning by heading over to starbucks for a special treat. my daddy called me on the phone and sang happy birthday to me while i was in line!! stupid me didn't know i had speakerphone on my new cell, and i think it would have been a fun treat if everyone got to hear him!! oh well, maybe next time. i got a caramel frappucino with extra caramel since the last time i went, i pretty much got none. they totally hooked this birthday girl up, and i was incredibly bouncy all day!!
i got lots of cards and cute gifts from people at work, and that really made me sit back and appreciate all my awesome friends. someone even made me white cake cuppicakes cause she knows i'm not a fan of chocolate!! OMGZ!!! i am totally spoiled!!
my mommy and auntie came over for lunch, and we had a great time. i showed them the vc unit, and we called into dublin to talk to james for a few minutes. horray!! after that, it was off to euro to have a little bite cause i knew i was going to claim jumper that night. :)
when i got back from lunch, there was a beautiful bouquet of peach roses and little white hydrangeas waiting for me, from james!! i love love loooove flowers, and it was great to get two very similar sets of arrangements!! the fun part will be taking these two home at the end of the week..hee hee!!
i got home and had dinner at claim jumper. i didn't eat a whole lot which i know is like impossible to do there. i did end the meal with a red velvet cuppicake, but it wasn't the best one i'd ever had. it will have to do since not a lot of bakeries make them out here!! :) right before dinner, i got a totally gorgeous ring from swarovski. it's very big (but fits my tiny fingers!!) with different color hearts, and tons of sparkles!! i opened lots of cool presents after dinner, too!! hello, i am incredible spoiled!!!
so yeah, between all that, and the voicemails, birthday song messages, and other love, i had a great day!!! cheers to being 27!! :)

how cool is the place i work??
i invited meggie to eat lunch with me this week, and was super bummed when i found out that the main eating area was closed this week due to this. it was totally fine with me that i wasn't going to be able to eat yummy burrito or anything else that the place has to offer, especially since it was for such a good cause.
i found out yesterday that prez clinton was going to speak there in the afternoon, and we got to watch his speech via vc. he really is a captivating speaker, and quite serious about making sure people around the world who don't have much are given quite a bit more. people started applauding him in the middle of his comments, but he made sure to get his point across first. he seemed very committed to helping those in need, and i hope that my co-workers who were able to hear his speech were able to take away something from it.
but still...how cool is my work that they showed his speech via vc to a bunch of different buildings?? i'm sure it was to keep us away from where he was speaking!! i actually had to deliver packets to people near where he was speaking, but delayed that since i heard there was just a bit of security there. :)

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (suddenly i see, kt tunstall)
i have finally uploaded a few pictures to my myspace page for all of those (like, two of you) who wanted to see some updates. just click on the myspace link on the left, and they are the newest ones on the page. horray!!
i hope everyone had a super fun weekend like i did!! on saturday, james and i went shopping for my mom's birthday in sf. he ended up getting me an early present, and i was so surprised!! :)

duck the fucks!!
i'm not sure how many of you saw last night's sharks game, but what a thrillah!! i was driving home and the sharks were down 2-0. oh noes!! luckily when they knew i was home, they started scoring. horray!!
anyway, on with the drama. so going into overtime, ron wilson (coash of the sharkies) told the refs that teemu selanne's stick was not quite up to nhl standards. the refs measured it and sure enough, he was using an illegal stick. what a flopper. i've totally lost all respect i had for him.
this morning, i read online that teemu was all upset and said, "Whether it was classy or not, it was Ron Wilson's decision. He's not my favorite coach anymore." classy?? what's classy is not cheating, you effer. i don't think wilson cares that he's not your favorite coach, you jackass. oh man, that quote cracks ME UP!!
also, i am so happy that the ducks lost in a shootout when andy mcdonald completely lost the puck before he was able to shoot. of all the times to lose the puck, that was the worst, and made me the happiest because the ducks were being punks the whole game, and deserved it in the end.
horray for the sharkies!! i've got my sparkly sharks shirt on for the game against calgary tonight!! i'm gonna be so loud in the shark tank. like, playoff loud. hahahahahahah!!

my goodness, i've wanted to post about my oh-so-fun weekend in monterey for a week or two, and i keep forgetting!! the one thing i won't forget is the amazing time i had!!
it all started when i made the mistake of telling james that the best meal of my life was at fresh cream in monterey. i believe we were having breakfast together, and right after i left, he made reservations there and at this beautiful spot. that will be the last time i talk about things that cost money!! hee hee!!
but yes, we had such a fun time, and i'm pretty much going to bastardize our time in just a few sentences. we headed up there on saturday with unbelievably warm weather. it was so beautiful when we got there, and we had such a great time walking along the beach for a few hours. after that, we walked across the way to a cute little shopping complex and got some mango sorbet. then, we got all beautified for our incredible dinner!! the drive down was almost too much for me, even though it was only like 20 miles away since i was starving!! i kept thinking all day about the yummy food...hee hee!! i had the filet mignon, since almost all the other dishes i can get regularly at work. hahahahahah!! i actually ended up eating a dark chocolate torte for dessert. i know, me and chocolate, together at last. i think it was extra special because there was a bit of vanilla bean ice cream and reaaaaally yummy raspberry sauce on the side. oh, heaven!!
the next day, we went back to the place we got sorbet and had breakfast at a cute little coffee shop. i love little cafes that also serve up warm breakfast!! hee hee!! there was also a small grocery store across the way, so we ended up getting some yummy food for a picnic lunch. we headed back down to monterey for a little cruise down 17 mile road, and stopped halfway for a picnic on the beach. it was so beautiful on the beach!! the waves were really loud so it drowned out anyone else walking/talking by us and the water was incredibly clear. once we were done with lunch, we headed down the rest of the road and gawked at the gi-normous mansions along the way. it's always fun to dream!! :)
so yeah, i'm totally spoiled by james, but at least i know it, right?? and i'm going to keep my big mouth shut about other things so he can save his money!! all i need is a slurpee and i'm a happy girl!! i promise!! :)
and on a totally random note, if you haven't done it already, go personalize your google page. i love how my theme changes, and there are even easter eggs!! horray!! :)

i can't believe what a difference a few weeks makes. when i last got together with all of my lair girls (not just the roomies) we basically did a big catch-up session because it had been forever. we had dinner at la med in berkeley last week, and pretty much had to have another huge catch up session because so many wonderful things had taken place. i don't think anyone was prepared for all of the incredibly happy news everyone had to share. we are all so blessed and at such great places in our lives right now. i can't wait to see where we'll go from here!!
and on that happy note, i love falling asleep all warm and cuddled up. i probably have the biggest smile, ever, as i fall asleep. i especially love when i can hear the rain outside.
i am so easily amused. :)

google says, happy valentine's day!!
i am still incredibly lucky to be working at the coolest place ever. for lunch today, i made my own salad with yummy dressing and had black truffle oil mac and cheese, scallops, kobe beef, lobster tail, cinnamon truffles and chocolate covered strawberries. HELLLLLOOO!! we had that menu at our cafe and it was the most crowded one that day!! :)
last night i baked red velvet and vanilla cuppicakes, mix and frosting recipies courtesy of sprinkles cupcakes. i do have to say that the red velvet has made me fall back in love with cake again. for those of you who know me, you know that i'm not the biggest fan of cake, but i do love my cupcakes. those red velvet ones were so heavenly and amazing.....oh wow. :)
and of course the best part of my day was walking into work with beautiful light pink long stemmed roses on my desk. sigh. i am totally spoiled, but at least i know it!!

To the left
To the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff - Yes
If I bought it please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And It's my mine name that is on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab (irreplaceable, beyonce)
wow, this song is always on xm's top 20. but soooo fun to sing to with a fake mic.
"to the left, to the left..."
this weekend was totally beyond fun. i'm incredibly tired, but it was worth it!!
stacy's birthday was on saturday, and we got together with her, her hubby and old
friends and their significant others. we met up at the embassy suites, got dolled up,
went out for sushi and then dancing!! luckily i didn't go overboard with drinks,
although i was mixing them up from time to time!! it was so interesting that the sushi
place looked like some random ass hole in the wall restaurant...next to a pizza hut,
but soooo effing yummy. and the club we went to was amazing. totally not representitive
of clubs i've been to in sac in the past. it was super nice inside and had a great outdoor
area, even if it was pouring ass rain. :)
it was great to get to get to show off james to everyone. he was a big hit, and i didn't stop smiling the whole
night. i'll have to post pics later.
on sunday, we headed up to lincoln to see michelle and jeremy's bundle of joy!! baby
audriana is here!! i can't believe how dark her eyes are, how much hair she has, and
how big she is!! just born two days before, and sooooo big already!! we helped them
check out of the hospital and take everything back to their place. how wonderful
that their home has another person inside!!
even though i didn't get much sleep last week or this weekend, i had a great time and hope i
can catch up soon!! no sleep and no naps make netters something something...

i loooove where i work. since i started two months ago, we've had muhammad ali, john hodgman, and john legend stop by.
i missed john legend yesterday because i was stuck in a silly hc. luckily someone taped part of the performance and you can watch it here. i guess the guy singing with john sang at the shoreline for a work thang last summer. the best part is when he says, "take it away, john"!!!! hopefully i won't miss any more awesome peeps who stop by soon. :)

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home (home, michael buble)
there was a random ad on my gmail the other day with a quote by james russell lowell. i really liked it, so i used it below for one of my entries. later on, i google'd more quotes, and put them below. hope you enjoyed that for a bit. hee hee!!
work is still incredibly fun, even though i've been crazy with all the extra hours i was putting in for a while. thank goodness for overtime!! :) it was all worth it for a fun little party on friday night.
this weekend was pretty laid back, just the way i like it. i relaxed for a bit on saturday and then did some collaging. not as much as i wanted to, but it's always great to at least accomplish something. today i hung out with roomies at the pancake house and then at the movies. there is something so great about getting together with your girls, sharing food and life. i really hope we stay in the swing of getting together more often.
well, that's it for now. i should hop into bed and hope for a fun week!! horray!! :)

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (suddenly i see, kt tunstall)
i guess it's been a while since i've shopped for myself, what with me trying to save some moola and christmas. it was incredibly refreshing to go out and buy some fun things for myself!! and girls, are you with me when i say that buying new bras and panties just feels fantastic?? there's something about wearing a new lacy thong for the first time that makes me giggle to myself.
i usually hate shopping at malls, but i think without the stupid christmas crowd, and knowing what i wanted really helped me out. i was in and out in no time, and got some fun tops, jewelry, and a new pair of cons!! horray!!
oh, and have you ever heard that what you're doing on new year's eve will dictate what you're doing that next year?? when bean and i were caught in customs crap last year, the customs guy from the US told me to stop crying, cause it's was getting close to midnight and he didn't want me crying all that year. anyway, i forgot to mention that i spent my new year's eve with my fam, relaxed, watching movies in my sweats, enjoying a fire, and a little bit of bubbly!! at midnight, i was dancin around and skipping outside to the beautiful fireworks!! i can't wait for this year!! :)

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

Call me call me for your lover's lover's alibi
Call me on the line
Call me call me any anytime
Call me (call me, blondie)
grrrrrrrrrrrr. so i got a new phone recently and wasn't able to transfer the numbers from my old one because they didn't have the device at best buy. they're usually at phone stores. i waited a bit to go to sprint to get this transfered because i hate traffic/people christmas shopping/returns/the whole crazy december crowd. i just called the local store and they said they'd do it for free (horray!!) as long as i brought in the receipt that shows i bought it at a sprint store. i told the guy i bought it at best buy because sprint didn't carry it yet, and he asked if it was the new slvr. yesssss, yes it was. it turns out that sprint doesn't have the technology available to transfer numbers to the slvr until they start to carry them. WHICH IS IN APRIL.
now i have the joy of writing down and entering in ~170 numbers in my new phone. gah!! it will be better once it's done because then i'll actually know who's texting me. i guess if this is the worst thing to happen to me today, i'm doing pretty good. i shouldn't complain. hee hee!! :)

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Hey, it's a pink moon (pink moon, nick drake)
it is seriously so odd for me to think that this year has come and gone already. it's weird to think that a year ago, i was starting my second day of driving with bean up to canada. little did i know that i would be denied the first time!! YIKES!!
do you ever think about where you'll be in one year?? one year ago i sure as heck didn't think i'd be back in cali. i wonder where i'll be next year and what i'll be doing.
i am glad i'm taking it easy this new year's eve, and really trying to be mellow and reflective. i feel so bad saying no to all the fun parties, but this is such a perfect day for me to be home. i really needed this weekend to catch up on sleep, and i've done a pretty good job so far.
tonight, it's movie night with a fire and a bit of bubbly to ring in the new year. i hope that wherever you are, you're having a blast.
xoxoxo!!

You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you (crash into me, dave matthews band)
i'm not 100% sure, because i cannot always remember every element of my dream, but i'm almost positive i dreamt of scary waves last night/this morning. i think i was almost being tossed out in the middle of the ocean by big, pounding waves, but i stayed calm, and after some time, it cleared and i was okay. below is what i found at a dream interpretation site.
To dream that you are caught in a tidal wave, signifies the strength of your emotions, perhaps accompanied by tears that you are holding back in your waking life.
To hear waves crashing in your dream, indicates tenderness and relaxation. It also brings about feelings of sensuality and sexuality.
To see clear, calm waves in your dream, signifies a calming of emotions. It may also signal an important decision to be made.
big sigh. horray for this year finally ending. let's start with a clean slate, eh?

Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see
And it's hardly ever snowing
The way it's meant to be
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bring Crosby
Are you listening to me?
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do (it doesn't often snow at christmas, pet shop boys)
maybe i shouldn't be wishing for natural disasters for christmas. there was a small earthquake last night that woke me up, and another one that woke me up again. okay, i was just kidding about anything bad happening!! i just wanted to be snowed in and forced to eat warm things, hee hee!! but hey, if this relieves a bit of pressure on bay area faults, i'm all for it!!

People love and people hate
People go and people wait
But, don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah
Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth
And they were each one quite odd
And mensch, a virgin, and a God
But don't forget that what kept them aflow
Floating through the desert doesnt take a boat no
Don't forget that what kept them above
Is unconditional love (spotlight on christmas, rufus wainright)
sometimes, just sometimes, i wish it would snow like crazy here.
then i would be forced to stay inside for a few days living on soup and hot chocolate while sitting by the fire in my jammies.
is it weird to wish for a blizzard for christmas??

It's always such a lonely loom
It's sudden like a broken bone
And your luck wont always come along
So dry your tears away
Butterfly
Go ahead and fly (butterfly, dave matthews)
horray!! the family circus comic from late november is finally online, and here it is:
last weekend was totally full of fun stuff, but i seriously felt like i had no time to myself and i didn't feel fully recharged for this week!! i'm trying to lay low this weekend and relax a bit before i go on a cleaning rampage before everyone arrives for christmas. i'm hoping to be able to finish up some last minute chores and errands by this afternoon and sit by the tree with a big cup of hot chocolate, my sweats, and a book.
last saturday, michelle had her baby shower!! i can't believe how great she looks, and the cute clothes that are out now!! she's gonna be such a hot mama!! stacy threw a fun and girly tea party. it was a super adorable theme for a baby shower and it was a lot of fun. miss caitlin ruled at the clothespin game...even though i tricked her first thing. i swear i didn't mean to!! hee hee...it all evened out by the end cause she was the big winner. :)
after driving back from that, erik and i went to the sharks game. i was soooo tired from not sleeping a whole lot the night before and then going to michelle's baby shower. i kept telling erik that i was going to fall asleep...in the beginning of the second period. hee hee!! cheechoo scored two that night. i was sad he couldn't complete a hat trick, but i guess he was nervous cause i was there. totally kidding. ;)
on sunday, i was baking with the roomies!! i went to target to get some frosting and holiday cupcake wrappers. i ended up getting slightly smaller wrappers than i wanted (booooooo!!) and some holiday frosting. now i am the queen of holiday cupcakes. i buy this stuff ALL the time, and am well aware of what i need. the frosting always shows on the outside as the holiday color, but it's really white inside. for instance, the halloween holiday frosting is shown as an ugly orange/peach color on the outside, but it's really white inside!! i have the finished product, some really yummy looking halloween cuppicakes to prove it!! well, i bought the christmas frosting cause it comes with sprinkles on top, and it's light green on the outside. guess what color it actually is on the inside. yup, ugly ugly light green. i was so pissed!! hahahahahahah!!
i had a great time catching with my roomies, and it always seems like there's too much time that goes inbetween when we hang out. thank goodness we're doing dinner in the city this tuesday along with some other hot lair mamas!!
like i said, i'm trying to catch up on sleep and organize my life this weekend. i gave blood yesterday which was a bit of a fiasco. two people couldn't find my veins in EITHER arm. grrrrrrrr. the first time they went to draw blood, it hurt me so bad that tears started to form in my eyes, and it was all i could do not to start crying. that lady was jabbing and poking and ahhhhhhhh, it was so painful!! she was about to tell me it was okay to leave, and i was like, "aw hell no, we're trying the other arm. and not jabbing as much, mmmmkay??" luckily she popped the other one in. i totally got jacked up with bruises on both arms tho. i look like a junkie.
i was hoping that by donating blood, i would be able to take a really long nap yesterday. that sure as shit didn't happen!! i am like the queen of naps on the weekend, and i just couldn't get comfortable and fall asleep!! that's all right cause i did get to go out to dinner and a movie with kae yesterday. we saw "the holiday" which was a lot better than i thought it was going to be. i'm not the biggest cameron diaz fan, but she does an okay job. i was really excited with kate winslet's performance because i felt like her character was a lot like me. you'll have to see the movie to understand.
kae is the best cause she gave me a hella cute present for christmas!! i got a bunch of little candy canes, like a pound of my favorite big square marshamellows, and hot chocolate mix!! i am in heaven!! i can't wait to get a few things out of the way today and really get to enjoy that tonight. horray!!
i guess that is enough of an update for now. i love how i can use my blog to blog about what i've been up to, and a journal for what i've been feeling. it's great to not have to be emo to the world via the internet. hee hee!!
It's sudden like a broken bone
And your luck wont always come along
So dry your tears away

horray!! the family circus comic from late november is finally online, and here it is:
last weekend was totally full of fun stuff, but i seriously felt like i had no time to myself and i didn't feel fully recharged for this week!! i'm trying to lay low this weekend and relax a bit before i go on a cleaning rampage before everyone arrives for christmas. i'm hoping to be able to finish up some last minute chores and errands by this afternoon and sit by the tree with a big cup of hot chocolate, my sweats, and a book.
last saturday, michelle had her baby shower!! i can't believe how great she looks, and the cute clothes that are out now!! she's gonna be such a hot mama!! stacy threw a fun and girly tea party. it was a super adorable theme for a baby shower and it was a lot of fun. miss caitlin ruled at the clothespin game...even though i tricked her first thing. i swear i didn't mean to!! hee hee...it all evened out by the end cause she was the big winner. :)
after driving back from that, erik and i went to the sharks game. i was soooo tired from not sleeping a whole lot the night before and then going to michelle's baby shower. i kept telling erik that i was going to fall asleep...in the beginning of the second period. hee hee!! cheechoo scored two that night. i was sad he couldn't complete a hat trick, but i guess he was nervous cause i was there. totally kidding. ;)
on sunday, i was baking with the roomies!! i went to target to get some frosting and holiday cupcake wrappers. i ended up getting slightly smaller wrappers than i wanted (booooooo!!) and some holiday frosting. now i am the queen of holiday cupcakes. i buy this stuff ALL the time, and am well aware of what i need. the frosting always shows on the outside as the holiday color, but it's really white inside. for instance, the halloween holiday frosting is shown as an ugly orange/peach color on the outside, but it's really white inside!! i have the finished product, some really yummy looking halloween cuppicakes to prove it!! well, i bought the christmas frosting cause it comes with sprinkles on top, and it's light green on the outside. guess what color it actually is on the inside. yup, ugly ugly light green. i was so pissed!! hahahahahahah!!
i had a great time catching with my roomies, and it always seems like there's too much time that goes inbetween when we hang out. thank goodness we're doing dinner in the city this tuesday along with some other hot lair mamas!!
like i said, i'm trying to catch up on sleep and organize my life this weekend. i gave blood yesterday which was a bit of a fiasco. two people couldn't find my veins in EITHER arm. grrrrrrrr. the first time they went to draw blood, it hurt me so bad that tears started to form in my eyes, and it was all i could do not to start crying. that lady was jabbing and poking and ahhhhhhhh, it was so painful!! she was about to tell me it was okay to leave, and i was like, "aw hell no, we're trying the other arm. and not jabbing as much, mmmmkay??" luckily she popped the other one in. i totally got jacked up with bruises on both arms tho. i look like a junkie.

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on (river, sarah mclachlan)
i bought the christmas cd at starbucks because the ones in the previous years have been pretty fun, solid collections. i have had this song (the first song on the cd, so i haven't really listened to the others yet!!) on repeat for the past few days. it's sung in such a sad, yet calm voice and i love to attempt to sing along in my car. hee hee!! it sort of stinks because it reminds me that i have no guy to love me on christmas. oh well. maybe if i'm a good netties, it will happen next year.
this week has been super fast for me. work just flies by, and i'm having the greatest time. i'm learning a lot about my job, and trying to take on a bit to show that i'm badass. but you all know the truth. ;) giggles!! the people in my group are the coolest, and i'm so blessed to have this opportunity. on that note, i'm also a bit tired cause i worked kinda late last night getting things organized, and i'm totally pooped. i should probably hit the hay cause i feel like i have a million things i want to do. i've got to buy some presents for my mom, from my dad, clean my room, go to michelle's baby shower on sat, sharks game with erik that night, and baking with the roomies on sunday. i swear, there is no rest for the wicked.

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport;
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace.
Oh, they had a little party down in Newport,
And they had to carry Harry from the place. (cal drinking song)
my goodness...what a long and tiring day!! having a big game at noon seems to be too early for football for me, but i was still in berkeley cheering my bears on to victory!! it wasn't a pretty win, but still a very typical big game in that you never know what's going to happen.
i got to finally take my pic with oski!! i've wanted to do that since i was a little girl, and i was sooo happy and shy when i got the opportunity to. the funny thing is that this person in the costume now is younger than me, but i still got caught up in it being oski. i am such a nut.
the game itself was pretty fast and very crazy. i'm super happy that cal won. after, i sort of marched around with my fam who was marching alongside the band. i was not expecting to do so much walking and my pooooor feeties/ankles are killing me!! thank goodness for advil. i'm sure i'll be feeling the brunt of it tomorrow. :(
but for the most part, i had a great time running into the million lair people, enjoying the big game spirit, and enjoying my first weekend off from my new job. i will give you all a personal update on what's going on since there's a pretty strict blogging policy at work. i don't know exactly what i'm allowed to blog about, although it would probably just be all the benefits. those are what keep me happy. anyway, time to elevate mah ankles!! night!!

i am so annoyed with girls who think they are geniuses but have no idea how to spell or use proper grammar. i am very guilty of being a bad speller, but i at least can see when a word is wrong and fix it. and yes i am guilty of using way the eff too many commas in a sentence, but DAMN. it's always people who call themselves smart or intelligent or some other bullshit word. i GUESS.
i don't know why i'm so bothered by this crap at this moment in time, but i guess i need to just get it out. if you have to write about how smart you think you are, i'm just going to laugh. hehehehehehehehe!!
on another note, i am so very happy to be working at teh google right now. i have about a million cool things i want to say, but i sort of don't want to share them here. if i love you, i'll let you know about the awesome shit that you haven't heard of until now. ha-HA!!

I really can't stay
(but baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way
(but baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been so very nice
(I'll hold your hands there just like ice)
My Mother will start to worry!
(beautiful what's your hurry?)
And Father will be pacing the floor
(listen to that fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry!
(beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(puts some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think
(baby it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink?
(no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how to break the spell
(your eyes are like starlight now)
I'll take you hat your hair looks swell (baby it's cold outside, bing crosby)
i have been a big fan of philosophy products for quite some time, and lurve adding new scents and lotions to my mix of fun girly things. i was all about amazing grace last year, and totally loving cinnamon buns this year!! it is sooo good that i pick one scent at a time or i might get a bit overwhelmed. hee hee!!
the body wash and body souffle are beyond yummy. i smell slightly of cinnamon and very sweet...kinda like frosting. i'ma eat myself up right now. lick, lick.
i hope i still smell this good when i walk into work for the first time tomorrow!! i don't even think i'm going to meet my group right away!! it's seriously like orientation and training all week. that's okay, i get to be a google gol and i could not be happier!!

You and I could quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve
'Cause to the dreamers go the dreams
But the leaders have the lead
It's a frightening, frightening thing
Born to the land of opportunity
Of manifest destiny
Do you want to change your mind?
You can always change your mind. (manifest destiny, guster)
kiddies...the moment you have all been waiting for. the time has almost come...

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks,
Sign your x on the line
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my chirstmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring,
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight (santa baby, marilyn monroe)
there are so many things that make me incredibly happy. right now, i have a bright pink thermal shirt on with comfy sweats. i loooove feeling cozy and surrounding myself with my favorite color!! there are so many little things that i try to do every day to make me super smiley and bouncey. :)
december is probably my favorite month because there are so many fun things that i don't always get to do during other months. here's a list of what i love!!
*decorating the house
anyone who does this before thanksgiving is just sick in the head!! it is such a chore to get all of the boxes and bins at my parents house down from the top of the garage. they're all dusty from sitting there for a year, but there is oh so much fun inside!! i love getting lights out, putting up wreaths i made when i was 6...just all of it!!
*lights outside
okay, so when i was 5, my daddy asked me if there was any sort of special pattern i wanted to do with the outside lights. this was waaaay back in 1985, so there was really only one set of outside lights unlike today. yeah, those hecka big bulbs. my daddy traded some with the guy across the stree who wanted all white. so we had tons of colors, but no real order. and of course since i was 5, i wanted them in rainbow order!!! my daddy is so awesome that he actually did it, and has kept it that way ever since. so it goes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and we have one violet light!! i don't think that they made violet lights back then, but i remember putting it at the end, because it completed the rainbow!! it worked still as of last year, and i'm going to be so sad whenever it goes out!! the hilarious thing now is that friends tease me when they come over to my house and ask if it's the "gay" house cause of the rainbow. when i tell them the story, they usually say, "awwwwwww!!" can you imagine the netties at 5 with those big coke-bottle glasses, screwing in rainbow light bulbs!! i still remember it and i was soooo happy!!
*decorating the tree
this one is a no brainer. i looooove putting my ornaments on the tree. i have so many now that i could probably put all of mine on my parents 10' tree!! i am actually thinking of getting a pink tree and decorating it with my girlie ornaments since i have so many. how much fun would that be?? okay, maybe only to me. :)
*hot chocolate
i love how you can either make it all the time, or go out and get it. i love that it's available everywhere and people seem to smile as they make it. it's heaven!!
*ice skating outside
all right, so i know that most places in cali aren't cold enough to have real ice outside, but we can still make crappy ice skating rinks outside, right?? RIGHT?? although it hurts my ankles like woah, i still love to go out and skate a bit.
*full stockings
i don't even get excited about the candy, since i usually give most of it away, but i loooove the fun treats that santa always gets me!! there's always some sort of exotic candy, along with my favorites like gummy cherries or super sour stuff. and, i still get excited when i see tangerines!! i love the fun treats like new nail polish colors or tons of mac makeup. my santa is the best!!
*fires
all right, so they're not so good for the enviornment which means we can only do them a few times a year at my house, but i love them so very much!! i love how warm and cozy the rooms feels, and how you don't want to leave. i love how you can take half-naps in front of them. and, i love how you can just gaze into it and feel totally at peace. which of course leads me to change into jammies or sweats right after work, and cuddle up with a blanket and a book!!
*present hunting
i seriously LOOOOVE getting presents for people. i sometimes forget that people are getting them for me because all of my energy is spent on how happy i think the person is that is going to get this cool gift!! i am sort of the personal shopper for my dad which i just love. i get to hear what she likes or i at least LISTEN to what she likes. heeheheheheh!! and, i know when she loves something...she doesn't have to say a thing. i am the worst when it comes to waiting for people to open things, though. if i had my way, i'd let everyone open things the moment i bought them!!
all right, that's it for now. here's your moment of zen:

here are two comics that made me giggle today!!
the first is one of my all time favorite comics, pearls before swine. it wasn't in today's paper, but back from earlier this month. i believe that stephan pastis is a cal alum. well, he has to be if he's putting this in his strip!! anyway, i wanted to share it. and it's totally "stolen" from comics.com. ;)
and crapdideecrapcrap. the one today from family circus was a giggle-fest for me. i can't seem to find a link anywhere with a current comic so you'll just have to wait, or check your local papers. grrrrrr. it was funny cause of tomorrow being thanksgiving and had to do with where i'll be starting my new job on monday. horray!!

ah yes, it's that time of the year!! thanksgiving is almost upon us and it's red cup time at starbucks!! WOOHOO!! i honestly can't remember when this tradition at starbucks started. i don't know if it's semi-recent or something that's always happened as long as there's been a starbucks in fremont. i do remember being so excited when there was one within driving distance from irv-town. horray for an open campus!! but really...it's one of those things that now triggers my brain that it's getting close to one of my favorite months of the year. i loooooove december and christmas!!
yesterday was a fun adventure out to sf to check out the new shopping center and bloomies. my ankles are juuuuust killing me, though!! we did a ton of walking and that combined with the slight cool/damp mornings is not making my feet too happy!! i'm glad i had a chance to be a bit of a bum today. :) i was very productive, but i tried not to do too much walking.
i did go out to safeway for a bit, and i swear, i still think i'm in van when i walk in. it's soooo spooky how all the stores look the same now. everything's in the same place which is great for shoppers!! i just feel odd like i've somehow teleported myself from cali to canada. i'll get over it soon, i swear!!
tomorrow is thanksgiving, and i'm excited to get together with part of my family for the day. thanksgiving means a bit more to me than the average person (imho) because on my dad's side, i'm related to myles standish. he was the captain of the mayflower, yo!! i always try to set aside a bit of time to think about what it might have been like to come over to america and start over. thanksgiving is such a perfect time to reflect about that and (obviously!!) what you are thankful for. i just love traditions, and can't wait for tomorrow. happy turkey day!!

i am sooo tired and worn out, but i must get a quick post in today!! tomorrow is my last day of work at ccc, and then i'm off to mountain view!! horray!! i've been training someone for the last few days which has been fantastic because i feel very confident in this woman who's taking over for me. on the same note, i am usually swamped with work and put in lots of extra hours on normal weeks; you can imagine how it has been piling up these last few!! that, and the fact that i'm bloated and cranky sort of helps to explain why this post sucks so bad already.
all i want to do is mention that my blog is four years old today!! yippee!! happy birthday to mah blooooog!! :) i can't believe i've kept this going for that long. i actually didn't want to start one because i thought i was getting in a little late in the game. for me, it's fun to post updates, weird stories in the news, pictures, etc. it sure as heck entertains me!!
horray for being four!!

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon. (pink moon, nick drake)
horray for me...i got a new job!! :) it took about 3 months of meeting with 3 different groups to interview. yes, i learned a bit of patience through this whole process!! i wanted to post this back when i learned that i had the job and given my two weeks notice, but my current employer didn't want anyone else to know. he tried to keep me there by matching my new salary, but since i will be getting so many benefits with this new job, he needed to have gone a lot higher. also, at this point, a 38% raise just shows how much i should have been worth SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. that's a bit frustrating.
i only have one more week working at my current job, and then i start my new one!! i'm so happy!! and i don't want to exactly come out and say where i'm working, but if you see the post below, there's a pretty cute graphic. yeah, i get to work there!!!
i'm so ready to work for a company like this where i can prace around and be little miss sunshine all day. i've always wanted to work for a place like this where i give so much, and they give a lot back. it's going to feel a little weird at first, but i'm sure i'll get over it.
i did a bit of shopping yesterday to sort of update my look, and i had so much fun!! probably only because i went super early and there weren't a lot of people at the mall yet. i really dispise shopping when there are a lot of other people around. everyone seems to get incredibly impatient, rude, and smelly. you can see why i hate shopping in december!!
but yes, i got a few pairs of jeans for $30 at a+f. i was super excited because those puppies are usually pretty expensive. i also found a few pairs of cute and not cheap looking work pants at old navy. they look almost exactly like some i found at guess, but they're $70 cheaper. oh, and i have to tell you about how my mom taught me to shop. so say we're just "saved" $70 by buying pants at another store. that's $70 extra bucks you have to spend!! woohoo!! i got a couple of skirts, super cute tops, and jewelry. such a successful day!! :)
today is going to be pretty chill for me. i'm going to continue making the manual for my current job. that way, if they haven't hired anyone by the time i have to go, they can go inside, and do it themselves!! no excuses!! also, i want to do a bit of reading at some point so i can put my ankles up. i swear, they hate the "cold" weather. i know it's not that cold outside, but they get pretty painful when it dips below 60. yikes. i don't want to ice them, because then it makes my whole body cold. hence the reading...taking my mind off of it for a bit seems to help. horray for distractions!!

"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustable well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even concieve of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." - Brandon Lee during his final interview
all right kiddies, it's time for a little trip down memory lane. as a few of you might know, the crow is one of my top 10 favorite movies. i remember knowing it was coming out, and i couldn't wait for a comic book to come to screen before my eyes. that, and the whole hoopla about brandon lee passing away while making it. i actually remember taking my dad to see it for father's day at the super saver theatre in freakmont. i just haaaaad to see it one more time on the big screen. random!! it's such a great mix of darkness which i think the original story has, and sarcastic one liners like any good comic book.
every devil's night, i watch it. it's pretty cool to only watch it once a year, and on the day the movie takes place. i just finished this years viewing and made it through without any tears. i usually get chocked up at the end when he and shelly are together again. le sigh.
i think the first halloween after the movie came out, i decided to be eric draven. i was like 13 or 14 and so pumped. i remember i was walking down one street when i saw another guy dressed up like the crow walk past me. he was an adult, and dressed EXACTLY like the movie. he did a cute bow to me, and walked away. i always thought it might have been brandon lee.
in preparation for today, i listened to the soundtrack on my way to and from work. that might be the first soundtrack i ever purchased, come to think of it. it's so tight with the cure, henry rollins, and rage against the machine. only about half of the songs are good, but it's a great listen. :)
i think this movie sort of helped grow the idea in my crazy head that no matter what, true love will prevail. hold your special someone close tonight and don't ever give up a chance to tell them how much they mean to you. xoxoxo.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday (yesterday, the beatles)
hee hee, so i forgot to mention my funny story from friday. i wore my super cool CANADA track jacket to work because i am that awesome. i guess it looks like i'm officially canadian or something an olympian would wear because someone asked me about it. this guy walking next to me said, "what team are you on?" why oh why did i allow myself to reply, but i told him, "the cuddling team." he nodded and kept on walking, maybe thinking i said curling.
wow, why do i say such random things?? so yeah, i'm officially on the canadian cuddling team. cause, you know, it's cold in canadia-land. what else are you going to do up there?? :)

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
or a beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
it may be empty
or weightless and maybe
we'll find some peace tonight
You're in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here (angel, sarah mclachlan)
when i was about 13, i thought i saw an angel in a cemetery. i remember i only saw her for a moment. i did a double take when my brain registered what i saw. when i turned around, she was gone. she was totally white, and in this same position.
i still wonder if she were real. and what would be so sad that would cause her to cry like that. i thought that she should be happy because that person is now in heaven with her.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.
Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
You never call me when you're sober. (call me when you're sober, evanescence)
i keep hearing this song on the radio, and thank goodness not in a bad way. the more i hear it, the more i sing it and just plain rock out. i finally google'd the band and found out amy lee is younger than me!! holy shit...i thought she was like 29 or 30. their stock just went up a little higher in my book.

You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
Oh, and you come crash into me (crash into me, dave matthews band)
soooooo, speaking of crashes, i almost got into a huge one driving home today. there was a ton of traffic on 880, as there always is, and we were finally speeding up a bit. the car in front of me was going about 50, and i started doing that as well. all of a sudden, they slammed on their brakes, but veered off into the two right lanes because they were going to hit the car in front of them. all i see is that car going nuts, and all of a sudden a car in front of me!! i'm totally gonna hit it, so i slam on my brakes as fast as i can. um, can we say thank goodness that i just got my brakes fixed this weekend?? i was so grumpy about paying for things for my car, but now i see why i should be happy.
oh yes, so i'm about to hit the car in front of me when my car starts pulling to the right a bit. i'm trying not to go into the next lane, but i'm somehow forced to. in doing so, i miss the car in front of me, but now i'm in a new lane and i don't know if i'm going to hit anyone there!! it's the carpool lane, and not too many cars had driven by in a while. luckily the guy in the carpool lane had tons of room on the shoulder, and pulled over there as i sort of merged into that lane. i was pretty amazed that nobody else got hit in front or behind me. which makes me wonder...would i have been at fault for hitting that car even though the car in front of me jacked me up?? i wasn't too close to them, but them slamming on their brakes and going into two other lanes of traffic sure means they weren't paying attention. wow, i'm so thankful that nobody was hit or hurt, and especially for the driver in the carpool lane who saw what was going on. i owe you a beer, buddy!! :)

Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right (here comes the sun, george harrison)
it is another beautiful and sunny day in the bay area today. no doubt that this is the most amazing place in the world to live.
i love that i have another weekend of enjoying the pool and soaking up some rays, yet still enjoying crisp fall weather soon.
i hope to enjoy this day by reading, swimming, reading, painting my toenails, reading, and going for a walk. i love my life, and so happy i can enjoy a whole day to myself.

because i hate it when sports writers are wrong...
my mom showed me an article in the sports section of the argus today, and i really had to laugh out loud. some writer basically said that stanford football isn't winning because they are an academic school. excuse me?? it's not like they've never been to a bowl game, stat boy.
i had to reply...and i did via email back to the paper. see below. (i had a limit of 100 words, or i really would have made about 400 other points. promise.)
Art Spander's article on how Stanford is "an academic institution, not an athletic factory" on Sunday, October 15, 2006 was laughable. As a true blue Cal fan, it pains me to point out that Stanford has won 12 consecutive Directors' Cup titles. The Directors' Cup is awarded to the school with the top overall athletic program.
Stanford football may not be winning games, but don't forget where Cal was during the 2001 season: 1-10. It's quite obvious that Stanford is going through a drought, and the blame does not need to be placed on such an erroneous generalization.
p.s. it was really hard not to type stanFUrd each time, but i was a good girl. :)

If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
"But we would eat Kraft dinner."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
"That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?!)
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love (if i had $1000000, barenaked ladies)
okay, just so everyone knows, i am moving to los gatos. with of course, my rich husband and we can make lots of babies. of course this may never happen, but it's now my new dream. :)
i got to visit the beautiful katy at her lovely parents house in los gatos. driving there, my mouth was open, just completely in shock at how pretty these houses were!! they were in the foothills with lots of land, and totally adorable. sigh.
we hung out for a bit, and she took me to a really yummy italian place downtown. my chicken artichoke was to die for!! mmmmmmmm!! a friend of hers said hi to us as he walked in, and then sat with another guy. after our meal, katy and i said hi to them, but right before we did she said, "oh yeah, this other guy is the qb for stanFUrd." i thought she was kidding, and we went over and chatted for a bit. i didn't remember what the qb looked like without his helmet on, so i decided not to say anything in case i didn't hear her right. turns out when i searched for him online after, it totally was. hee hee!! i prolly wouldn't have said anything mean, anyway. it's not his fault he doesn't have anyone to throw it to. he's just like favre this season.
after dinner, katy showed me around downtown a bit. the big, old trees all had white lights in them, and the streets were full of cute botiques and small restaurants. we walked by a candy store (that was still open at 9:30) and i pretty much had a heart attack. it was just like the saying, "like a kid in a candy shop." i went NUTS!! they had these really hard to find treats!! stuff they sell in england, belguim, canada, only in the northwest US...you name it, they had it!! well, except for dr. pepper gum, but i think they don't make that anymore. it was great to find all these amazing treats that i had enjoyed as a small child. i got a lot of things for halloween fun bags, too!!
so yes, in short, i had a great time with katy and i hope we can hang out again soon!! also, i am in <3 with los gatos. sigh.

we hung out for a bit, and she took me to a really yummy italian place downtown. my chicken artichoke was to die for!! mmmmmmmm!! a friend of hers said hi to us as he walked in, and then sat with another guy. after our meal, katy and i said hi to them, but right before we did she said, "oh yeah, this other guy is the qb for stanFUrd." i thought she was kidding, and we went over and chatted for a bit. i didn't remember what the qb looked like without his helmet on, so i decided not to say anything in case i didn't hear her right. turns out when i searched for him online after, it totally was. hee hee!! i prolly wouldn't have said anything mean, anyway. it's not his fault he doesn't have anyone to throw it to. he's just like favre this season.
after dinner, katy showed me around downtown a bit. the big, old trees all had white lights in them, and the streets were full of cute botiques and small restaurants. we walked by a candy store (that was still open at 9:30) and i pretty much had a heart attack. it was just like the saying, "like a kid in a candy shop." i went NUTS!! they had these really hard to find treats!! stuff they sell in england, belguim, canada, only in the northwest US...you name it, they had it!! well, except for dr. pepper gum, but i think they don't make that anymore. it was great to find all these amazing treats that i had enjoyed as a small child. i got a lot of things for halloween fun bags, too!!
so yes, in short, i had a great time with katy and i hope we can hang out again soon!! also, i am in <3 with los gatos. sigh.

and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
i await you
come to me (the bazaar, the tea party)
the sharkies are playing right now and i'm soooo happy!! they introduced all the players playing tonight at the tank, and erik and i were so pumped to see vlasic!! we saw him against van, and loved calling him pickle boy. you can imagine my excitement when i saw him playing tonight, and at the tender age of 19!! the only way to make that any cooler was seeing which number he was wearing. yes, sucka...44!!
not a whole heck of a lot is new with me. i'm trying to keep my ankles extra warm to see if that helps the achiness. i'm not sure it's helping, but it's always good to be extra cuddled up!! uhhh, what else. i gave blood on saturday, donated my hair yesterday...who wants a kidney?? :)
and on that note, i bring you your moment of zen. brought to you by the beautiful rebecca. i told her i had to donate at least 10 inches of hair. this was her reply: Never heard a complaint about an extra 10 inches. athankyouverymuch.

Oh it won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever. (it can't rain all the time, jane siberry)
i was checking the weather today, and there was an EXTREME WEATHER ALERT!! OMGZ!!
FIRST MEASURABLE RAIN EVENT OF THE SEASON EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ALONG 130W WILL DEVELOP A CUT OFF LOW
OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
UNSEASONABLY COOL AND WET WEATHER TO THE SAN FRANCISCO AND MONTEREY
BAY AREAS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN LATE
TONIGHT OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...AND WILL INCREASE AND SPREAD
SOUTHWARD ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW APPROACHES THE COAST. THE BEST
CHANCE OF RAIN IS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO
THURSDAY EVENING AS WELL. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL
OF PRODUCING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION...PARTICULARLY
ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING.
blah blah blah, i took a bunch of crap out
IF THUNDER IS HEARD...SEEK SHELTER INDOORS OR INSIDE A VEHICLE.
LIGHTNING KILLS MORE PEOPLE EACH YEAR THAN HURRICANES AND TORNADOES.
oh holy crap!! lightning lightning lightning!! i said it three times so it's true!! hee hee!! i really hope we have some today or tomorrow. but i hope it doesn't kill anyone. i had no idea it killed so many people!! stay indoors and grab your favorite stuffed animal!! ahhhhhhhh!!

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there (you shook me all night long, ac/dc)
which reminds me of a simpsons joke:
otto: hey lisa, how do you spell: ac/dc?
lisa: a-c-d-c.
otto: naw man, you forgot the lightning bolt.
i just came back from crazy-time at safeway. if you shop at the one next to 5 corners, you know what i'm talking about. they've been remodeling for what feels like years, but i'm sure is at least in its second month. the first thing i noticed since the major changes have now been completed is that it looks just like the one i shopped at in vancouver!! the cashier randomly told me that they're all supposed to be universal now. so you can walk in one in canada, and know which aisle the cupcake mix will be on. fantastique!!
and since i'm being totally random in this post, i noticed that i'm more forgiving than i thought i was. i actually will go out of my way to be really nice to people who have wronged me and i think this has been going on for quite some time!! this does not apply to assholes who cut me off when there's nobody behind me. i usually grumble mean things under my breath and then forget about it. hee hee!! :)

i am turning into such the selfish baby...but this is what i really want right now. and damn it, it's my blog so i can say whatever i want!!
*someone to tell me everything will be okay
*someone who will give me a hug and a backrub
*someone to make me a cup of tea and cuddle with me for a bit
gah, i'm incredibly tired and drained and i need someone to take care of me!! :(

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.
You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over. (call me when you're sober, evanescence)
i heard the above song for the first time a week or two. i remember first thinking, "you never get calls when this guy is sober?? how much does that suck??" anyway, it's such a great song to sing in the car...when the radio can drown me out, of course. i have no idea why i like singing it so much. maybe it's because the melody is so powerful. i sure haven't had much experience with someone not calling me when they're sober, though. i have had someone only tell me his true feelings when he was drunk, but that's a whole other nightmare.
for some reason, i am really looking forward to fall!! i usually hate fall since it signals the end of pool use, cute skirts and flip flops...some of my favorite things. but i do love the cloudy mornings, crisp air, and halloween!! unfort, my ankles are already starting to feel this colder weather and are a bit sore. nothing too painful, but enough to notice!! i'll just have to try to keep them extra warm this time around.
well, i've got a shitload of work to do, and i'm not too happy about it!! it's a beautiful day and i'd much rather be doing things i enjoy. hopefully i can get most of this done now so i can maybe get some reading done tonight. maybe some coffee will get this girl going today. :)
