Oh hai!

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!




Friday Fill-Ins!

#79

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.




Got crabs? What about cute felt objects?

We're ready!

Back in June, DH and I found a great restaraunt about 10 minutes from our house that served sea food by the pound that’s eaten with no utensils. DH thought I wouldn’t be up to eating at a place like that, but he was wrong :) We went with friends yesterday for lunch, and it was as equally amazing as the first time.

If you ever have the opportunity to eat at a similar restaraunt, please do! While I HATE getting dirty, I didn’t mind it too much at this place. Just be prepared to have fingers that reek like sea food and spice for the rest of the day. We chowed down on fried okra, calamari and fries, shrimp, and crab!

I got a package from my lovely friend Barbs today! She’s such a sweetie… she makes the cutest felt stuff, and sent some my way!

Ok, that’s all!
