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!




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!




Life is one huge distraction.

As I sit here, a few minutes past 10:30 with no end in cramming in sight, I am now thanking God or whatever higher power made me take that hour nap that disturbed my study session earlier today. I’m not tired right now, thank goodness… but I’m sure I will be in the morning. Friend and I are stopping by Starbucks on our way to class tomorrow AM for SURE!

So I got a call a few minutes ago; my friend tells me we really have been over-studying for this damn test, and it’s almost comical. Figures. I am one of those slacker-students who doesn’t read material ahead of time and scrambles to read it prior to a test. Only, this time, I didn’t need to read the chapter, front and back. Nice.

I am so excited to be done with the test tomorrow, so I can come home and clean the entire apartment up and down. School has been distracting me from some very important elements, which resorted to me keeping the house clean by bare minimum. I feel like I’m living in a sewer. Yuck.

Yesterday was a lovely distraction from the impending doom of today and tomorrow - I went to the county fair and ate myself silly. I love fair food more than anything else, even if it’s too expensive for this poor college student’s wallet. After partaking in food and ride fun with my friend, we went home as I felt so uneager to get started on studying that has yet to cease.

I am so ready for tomorrow to be over.
