WOW, how fast time can go by without updating when one lacks little to no time to think about time actually going by!

Did you get all that?

I actually updated once several weeks ago, but since changed the privacy of it due to feeling like a complete tool after I reread it. Yeah. Just a bunch of feeling-sorry-for-myself and being fickle. ANYWAY.

I am a Californian by birth - my dad grew up in Los Angeles, and we’ve lived here for 16 years now (and since we know I’m 23, and I can do math - 7 of those years were spent in Japan kthx). So can you believe that in all that time, I never once stepped foot in Mexico? I KNOW! Well, the spell finally broke and I can officially say that I’ve been there, done that. We went to Mexico, near Rosarito, for the beautiful wedding of a beautiful couple and it was. Amazing. Amazing food, fun Mexican music, TONS of dancing (not by me, of course…), OPEN BAR, and partying until 2 in da mornin. But the funnest part was the trip back across the border - 1 hour traffic and being greeted by vendors in the middle of the road. LOL. It was really horrifying, I just kept thinking about some little kid getting hit by a huge SUV while juggling for money.

We’re trying to plan another trip, this time to Cancun, but things are on hold for now considering the week break I thought we were getting in between this class and the next is not happening. So, I think DH is planning a trip to Anaheim for Blizzcon in October. At $100 a ticket and probably the need to stay over night/eat/stuff, we’re looking at easily a $1000 trip to a place an hour or two away. SO, yeah. But I’m STOKED, even though the possibility of me playing WoW or any other video game is nonexistant at this point. I missed Comic-Con at the convention center this year AGAIN, and I’m even more annoyed at the fact that there was absolutely no way I could go to the one day I wanted to (Thursday, for the Twilight movie panel/autographs) because of school. Only, there may be less screaming 12 y/o fangirls at Blizzcon (screaming 30 y/o otaku will still be there, however). Or, one can hope.

BTW, the lovely Teresa is giving away a cupcake scented gift set by Embrace Bath & Body, over at her personal blog. The contest is for USA and Canada only. GO GO GO! The contest ends tomorrow!

Until next time!

1. Holidays in the summer are alright. I mean, honestly? I dislike summer anyway, and summer holidays usually requires you to hang out outdoors. Which I also dislike, especially during the summer.

2. Shrimp is my favorite thing to grill.

3. My thoughts are all over the place right now.

4. Working (GASP!) is what I’m most looking forward to this weekend!

5. My favorite book so far this summer is TWILIGHT!

6. Hitting the snooze, followed closely by a cup of coffee as big as my face is the best way to begin a day.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to start studying for my next class (no joke; freakish huh?), tomorrow my plans include working a 12 and Sunday, I want to possibly go shopping.

(Ugh, all the exclamation points were getting annoying…) Please stay tuned for your regularly scheduled blog (scroll down!), kthx.

Well, I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Ours was fairly mellow and uneventful. I spent most of the morning sleeping (actually, recovering from getting 3 hours of sleep Thursday morning after spending most of the night awake), finished the main part of a baby blanket I was forced to put aside due to school while watching a What Not to Wear marathon on TLC; DH spent the morning on his computer, of course. We went to my parent’s house for dinner. And now, we’re here.

Like I said. Mellow.

So much has been going through my head lately that has made me realize: I’m really bored with my life. So much so that for the greater part of yesterday, I was scheming on the most successful way I could juggle both nursing school and a career as an actress (with absolutely no acting experience, no less). Yeah. I know.

I guess I’m not as busy as I originally thought. So no more idle thoughts for me. I’m going to work more now. No more being a baby about it. I would have enough time for school/studies AND work if I weren’t such an idiot and spend half the day doing absolutely nothing productive on the internet. So of course, studying will fill in the in between times, as well as play Good Housekeeping. Because truthfully, I’m tired of not having money. And even more so, I spent exactly 1 week not working since I told my manager I won’t be working. So yeah. Let’s just say that I’m fickle about 99.9 % of everything.

ANYWAY. So, since I’m in between classes and have been so graciously given a whole week off for the July 4th holiday, I’ve been doing pretty close to nothing except being completely lazy and, of course, working. I have become completely, totally, without a doubt obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Considering I’m already a HUGE fan of any literature that’s fantasy or sci-fi in nature, this series is right up my alley. The books are amazing, and I’ve developed a huge crush on protagonist vampire - HAHA. Or is he the antagonist… I don’t know. Whatever literary element he is, I like it.

Anyway, if you haven’t already done so, do check it out!

As for the movie… I’m looking forward to it, but not really. I don’t know. I think the movie, from what I’ve seen of trailers and such, doesn’t follow the book (which is not surprising, but is disappointing). And Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, looks NOTHING like I imagined Edward to look. He isn’t that good looking, in my opinion, but he looks stiking and beautiful in the movie. But still, nothing like I imagined. And Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan is even worse. But, whatever.
