Date Party

Last nite I went to my very first date party for TKE with Mcphee. He didn't know I was his date till we all met up at his house, but he was "pleasantly surprised". Woot woot! So we had some beers and headed off to Quarterdeck for a nice dinner. Helya ended up coming to because one of the guys' dates flaked and so we needed backup!! I'm so glad she came cuz she made the night better than ever! We had nice dinner of tritip, potatoes, rice, veggies and yummy chocolate mousse. YAY for free dinners and meeting lots of funny new people. By the end of dinner I had three dates: Sean, Jose, and Miguel...oh yeah and of course Helya. :)

We left dinner and went to "The Rock" where we only stayed for about five minutes because helya parked on the sidewalk. So where did we end up? Jose, Mcphee, Helya and I all went to Mother's of course! Where else? ;) We had a fun time dancing and mingling and Jose bought us jager bombs, lucky us! Joanna picked us up, and we came home and the guy in the pink shirt modeled for us, ooww owww!!!! 1,2,3!!!!!!!!

YAY for TKE, new friends, pink shirts, Jager, Helya, $5, and achieving the best college goal yet ;)

I Love Rain

I just realized that I only mentioned the pyrotechnic accident in my last post, but I never explained what really happened. Well, two weeks ago, Schoonover brought in this huge pipe thingie, and told me cut a hole in one end like a flute, and he told me to pack one side of the pipe and we'd try to see if the pressure from the small diameter combined with a spoonful of magnesium filings at end would in fact make a whistle. It in fact did not make a whistle, but blew up and scared us half to death. The sound was like a gun going off right next to your face and Jon and I said we could feel the waves of the explosion on our face. My ears were ringing so loud I thought I went deaf. It was incredible. So everyone came running out in the hallway to see what happened, and the counter top of the ventilation hood was in pieces. There was a centimeter of dust covering the entire lab, and we were stunned. YAY for blowing up the spider building with a pipe bomb. :) So Schoonover was in trouble, and we've changed the project to "Rapidly Convective Acoustics" Jon refuses to witness my experiments from now on.

So it was President's Day holiday weekend, and I celebrated by doing absolutely nothing, which had its perks. Friday night I went out with Shannon, Michelle, Jason, and some other random people. We went to Mother's and they went to Mission Grill, but we ended up having an okay time, but Shannon's stomach hurt :( so we pretty much laid low and left early. But I love my Shannon and I will never leave her ;) hehehe. No Curtis though. :( Saturday I spent the entire day in my room watching Sex and the City, the OC, reading, and sleeping. It was nice, but I missed my sidekick. I'll survive...maybe. Goodness I'm such a freaking baby.

Sunday I decided to get out of town and do something with myself, so I drove to Santa Barbara to visit my Katie. We had a great time just hanging out and being girls, and we went to see The Wedding Date, which was very very cute. We ate dinner at Silver Greens which was AMAZING and I wish i could eat there every day. We went back to her dorm room and watched The Sweetest Thing...and it had the penis song yaay!!! "OOOH too big to fit in here! Your penis is so hard, your penis is so thick, your penis is so nice, you have a handsome dick!" HAHAH i love that movie.

This morning I drove back to SLO in the rain, which was pretty relaxing and the scenery was beautiful with the bright green hills. I love just driving and listening to good music. I got some chemistry lab done, reading done, and cleaning done today, and even napped :) I guess that's what happens when you wake up at 8am. Sorry Katie!!

It's still raining, but I kinda like it. It makes me sit inside and get my stuff done. But it would be nice to have someone here with me to cuddle or just hang out with when I have nothing else to do. BUT I do like being by myself mostly. It's a vicious cycle. Want to be alone when you're not. Don't want to be when you are. For no one in particular:

"Love is the answer at least for most of the questions of my heart. Why are we here, and where do we go, and how come its so hard. It's not always easy, and sometimes life can be deceiving. I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together." Jack Johnson-Better Together

Shannon my Love!

Valentines Weekend

Valentines Day was very nice :) Clay and I went out to dinner Sunday night to Mclintocks in Shell Beach and ate some yummy steak. We watched Garden State afterwards, and I must say, that was a fantastic movie. I think i'll have to buy that one. Monday, we watched the Notebook. Lovey dovey movie for a lovey dovey day. :)

My senior project has taken a new spin and is now called an acoustics project instead of pyrotechnic whistle project, due to our little accident last week. We plan on making a new base out of an acrylic mold which is very small in scale. Hopefully this will work better and we won't have anymore explosions.

Overall this weekend was long and busy. I went out Thursday night to a place i'd never been before called the Z club. It was pretty fun but I threw up in Mcphee's bushes which was pretty embarrasing. I hate throwing up. ROAR. Friday night I went out with the girls to Mothers of course :) Tylia, Rachel, Joanna, and Shannon. We had a blast together except Joanna got sick early. :( As for me...711 nachos are the shit.

The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning, relaxing, watching movies, and driving people around Saturday night. Heather is the funniest drunk I've ever met. I love that girl..she is entertainment for all. YAY polygras.

I'm really pissed off that two of my lightbulbs burned out in the same day. Grrr. I just want one day of peace where nothing bad happens, or I don't get frustrated. No computer virus, no burned out lightbulbs, no money issues, no lack of food in the cupboards, no homework. I just want dinner made for me, and someone to cuddle up to for the entire night. Time to drop out of school. Just kidding.

Rachel, Tylia, Shannon, Joanna, and ME getting ready for a night on the town!

Mystery Shots for all

Destined to be a woman with no regrets

"When I was sure you'd follow through, my world was turned to blue. When you'd hide, your songs would die, so I'd hide yours with mine"

So what's the point of dating someone if you know it isn't going to go anywhere? You have fun together, you have lots in common, you hang out all the time, there's never a dull moment, yet there's something missing in the relationship. If you become official, will things get better and progress into something serious and perhaps end in a committed future together? Or will the offical title only provide exclusivity, and security? Will there be an inevitable breakup between lovers who seek companionship day to day without thinking about the future? What does it take to make a strong relationship last forever, and how do you find someone who is willing to stay with you forever, no matter what happens during the journey together? These are questions I ask myself a lot, as I'm sure many people do. Is it worth it to have fun in the moment, if you're going to have a broken heart a year down the road? It's a hard decision because on one hand you don't want to plan out your life as if nothing can change. On the other hand, you don't want to make a decision just because it seems good at the time. Now that I am 22, and graduating in 11 months, should I be thinking about where I will be next January, and who I will be with? I think so!! It would hurt me so much more to maintain a relationship with someone for another year, all the while knowing he doesn't want to be with me in the end. But how does he know he couldn't be with me forever? Things change right? Maybe in a year, he will be head over heels in love with me, and will tell me how he will move wherever I go to work or grad school, and he'd marry me the second he graduated. Is that reality? Actually for some poeple yes. Do these people know in advance how much they care for the other person that they'd literally do anything for them in order to be together forever? Or does it take a long time to reach that point? It's hard to say how the other person feels in the relationship unless they constantly tell you how much you mean to them. For me, I show how I feel all the time, and when I really love someone, I'd do anything for them. This doesn't mean I want to marry them or plan our future together, but it does tell me that I can see myself loving this person unconditionally for a long time and try my hardest to be together because I would rather be with them than anywhere else in the world. Maybe I just fall in love too easily. I just wish someone felt that way about me, because then this wouldn't be so hard, and I would have no questions. Maybe once you meet the person you will be with forever, all of the questions go away, and everything just falls into place. Who knows. Maybe I think too much.

"People have the right to fly, and will when it gets compromised. Their hearts say, 'move along', their minds say, 'got your heart'. Let's move it along. Move it along. And thats the way this wheel keeps working now. And I won't be the last, no I won't be the last to love her. You can't build a house of leaves, and live like its an evergreen. It's just a season thing, its just this thing the seasons do, and that's the way this wheel keeps working now. And you won't be the first, no you won't be the first to love me. You can find me, if you ever want again. I'll be around the bend. I'll be around the bend. I'll be around. I'll be around. And if you never stop when you wave goodbye, you just might find, if you give it time, you'll wave hello again. You just might wave hello again. And that's the way this wheel keeps working now." -Wheel by John Mayer

"it gains the more it gives, and then it rises with the fall"

This week consisted of the first midterms of the quarter. I wrote an essay for English, and had two midterms on Friday in IA and Biochem, which went pretty well. We're five weeks into the quarter and I'm just now going to find out how I'm doing in my classes. Wish me luck.

So, I'm sure you're thinking, 'so, you had a crazy week studying your buns off for three midterms..friday night must have been awesome' You're exactly right! The girls and I went down to mothers, thanks to Saied, our personal DD for the night. There were cops everywhere since they hired 400 police men to stare at college girls. They were all lined up on their motorcycles outside of mothers just waiting for a reason to arrest some drunk person. They definitely succeeded in ruining the traditional SLO mardi gras celebration, but nevertheless, we had a blast downtown, as usual. I don't really remember much else about what we did downtown besides drinking coors light, so end of that story. Sorry. Oh wait, I just remembered! Saied took us home and we were soo hungry so drunken Heather ordered an extra large woodstocks pizza at 2am :) We inhaled that shit. YUM. Oh my goodness, i love pizza.
Thanks Heather.

Saturday we woke up pretty hungover, and I napped at Clay's all day. Then at 5:00 i decided to get drunk playing beer pong at the neighbors'. Not a smart idea. I was tired and drunk by 7, and had nothing to do. Clay came and picked me up and we went to some party and played cards all night. My stomach hurt, so I complained and we left :) But really, it hurt bad! Clay drove everyone around and was such a sweetie, even though I was bitchy all weekend. Thanks handsome :)

Today was Alissa's 22nd birthday brunch at Dorn's in Morro Bay. This place was awesome, with a beautiful view of the bay, and great food! Ariana made cupcakes and we sang happy birthday and ate tons. Afterwards Helya and I went to Shannon's anti-superbowl girls only game nite/party. We played Egyptian ratscrew..i think. It was really fun and im glad i got to learn a new game! I screamed every time i slapped the cards, hahahaha. YAY. After that we watched the lame ass half time show. The fireworks alone would have sufficed for entertainment. Paul Mcartney, get some dancers or something. We played Truth or Dare Jenga, and I had to eskimo kiss Rachel, take off Shannon's shirt, do my happy dance, and moan as loud as I could. Good times were had by all, and lots of good food too. Woot Woot for good food.

Now, my fun weekend comes to an end and I'm bored, tired, lonely, and wanting something sweet to eat. Hrrrmmm.....

This week: Get valentines. finish (and start) chem lab report, be whiney..look out. OC Thursday night---> Be here or be left out. Bitches.

Aren't we sweet?
