...so this is old news if you have a myspace.
So...Mike and I are no longer together. Is it because our relationship was bad? No. Because we don't care about eachother? No. So why? I wish I knew. I still don't really understand how or why this happened.
If you want to know details, call me, I'm most likely not doing anything important.

Sooo today was the first day of school. It wasn't too bad. I ran into Neil and Alvin right off the bat, which was pretty darn cool because I never run into people at school. My teachers seem cool, so far, but I've only met 3 of the 8. Yes that's right. 8 classes. 18 units. And work for about 30 hours a week. And babysitting for 6. And a couple minutes with Mike here and there. Let's hope I don't burn myself out. So I spent $600 on books and a parking permit. Good God. But guess what? If you spend over $250 on books you get $25 worth of FREE STARBUCKS! =/ Cuz you know...I don't drink enough. AND the Starbucks on campus doesn't give partner discounts. Damn. I guess I'll buy a traveler cup thing tonite at Sbux and stop by every morning before school. Because I have to. And it's cheaper. Oh well. So tomorrow I have my theatre class and child development. I wish the theatre class was an acting class. =/ Anyways, I'm heading to Target and other places to run errands before I go to work from 5:30-midnite. And then I get to wake up early and do it all again. Joy. Take care, kids. :D

Soo today was my 20th birthday and I thought it was going to suck. Everyone I talked to was working all day and I figured I'd sit around alone at home. BUT! My wonderful friends came to the rescue and as it turns out, Katy, Desi, and Rachel had the day (well, most of it) free! We went to Mission Beach and had lunch and went browsing around stores and played around in the ocean a bit. After that, I opened presents and had BETTER THAN SEX cake. It was a really really good time, and made me realize that I don't need a huge party to feel like people love me. When I got home, I opened a present and a card from my mom, and she gave me Birthday fudge with a candle. Then we watched some Friends episodes and a movie. Then, Mike messaged me with "I love you, come outside" and he was here! That made me super happy cuz I thought I wouldn't get to see him on my birthday! We went to Starbucks and my co-workers wished me a happy happy and I opened my present from Mike. He got me a FM transmitter/car charger for my iPod which was waaaaaaay awesome because I have been wanting one ever since my old one broke. We came to my house and tested it out and kissed and huggled and chatted a bit. I have to wake up at 3 AM cuz I have to open tomorrow so I'm heading out. Thank you to ALL who remembered my birthday and to those of you who called with good wishes and to those of you I spent it with. :)
PS: Yosemite was AWESOME and gorgeous and if you didn't go you WAY missed out! Let's go back in the winter for snow and waterfalls!!!!! <3

Long time no update. Work is going well. I register for school next week. This weekend, I'm going to Yosemite with Mike, Kirsten, Robert, and Joe. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm definately bummed at the number of people who said they could go but bailed in the end. I guess I expected a bigger group, but I know we'll have a blast. I really want to do some crazy hikes, but I'm worried about my knee...and my ankle, it never really healed. Maybe that's cuz I jumped around on it like crazy 2 days straight at Street Scene...and that started the day after I sprained it. But it was a blast! The Killers were great, and we were super close to Deathcab and Dashboard. All the other bands rocked as well.
I set out to lose some weight at the beginning of summer, and so far I've lost 12 lbs. I'm definately not complaining. Let's see, what else?
Nothing much, I guess. I've been babysitting my *almost* 2 year old cousin each week. She's the cutest thing ever, and it's awesome to watch her grow up. When I started babysitting her regularly, she could barely walk. Now she's walking, running, jumping, talking, and very funny and very smart. She has the best sense of humor, and she figures things out so well. Right now her and her parents (my aunt and uncle...duh) are staying at my grandma's house while theirs is getting remodeled. It's so nice to see that house lived in, toys everywhere and Lily running around all cute. Before they stayed there, it was so empty, so dead and quiet. I know my grandma loves the fact their staying there...I can feel her presence more now. I wish my family could keep that house. I can see myself raising my kids there, it's so perfect. Oh well.
So my mom bought a new car. A PT Cruiser. It's really cooler than I thought it would be. She sooooooo deserves it. She never buys anything nice for herself. So I'm glad she has it.
Nothing new here, I keep running into old friends. It's always nice, unless it's uncomfortable. And when you have to pretend you don't know them...that sucks. =/ Trust me.
I know I should sleep...I think I will. Take care, you guys.

So...I sprained my ankle yesterday really bad and today I can't really walk.
It's swollen...and a little purple.
And as if that wasn't bad enough,
I have street scene in 4 hours.
This sucks.

So the lightning storm last nite reminded me of something I heard on the news a few weeks ago.
So there was this storm on the East Coast and a weather control building was struck by lightning. And it actually struck one of the employees.
It struck the "Lightning prevention and safety educator" guy. No joke. He survived.
And people say God doesn't have a sense of humor.

Okay for all you people who said you were going on the Yosemite trip, I need to hear from you if you are FOR SURE going. Now all of a sudden I'm hearing that some people can't go, and well, I don't want it to be retarded and lame with like, 3 people going, so I guess if I don't find out soon I'll have to cancel and just go with family or something. Because it won't be fun if we don't have enough people. In addition to that, you all (except Colleen and Kirsten) owe me $8.00. I don't mean to be a bitch about it, but I've written to you guys about it, asking for the money, and $8.00 to one person isn't much, but to me it IS a lot when I'm owed it by multiple people. I have to pay my mom back soon, and she was nice enough to front it, I don't want to let her down.
So please, respond to this and let me know if you are coming. Thanks, guys. :)

Yesterday me and Mike went to the Del Mar Fair. It was really fun. We bought wristbands for the rides and went on some really crazy ones. We also ran into my mom's cousin and his family, so that was really cool, cuz the kids are so cute and I rarely see them besides funerals, heh. We also ran into Jessie and Edith! I haven't seen them in awhile either so that was fun to chat for a bit. We got home around 11 or 12 and crashed.
So today was my first "official" day at Starbucks. I must say, I really like it. Everyone is super nice *it DOES help that I already know a lot of the people there* and today wasn't very hard because it wasn't too busy, and I just did basic stuff. But I made my first Frappuchino and it tasted quite delicious if I do say so myself. :) I also made some black tea lemonade for an *eep* customer! I hope they liked it, hehe. So I'm excited. It's crazy, you do like coffee tasting and stuff...I had no idea training was that thorough. It's like wine tasting! Like you're supposed to sniff it and slurp it and tell where it hits your tongue and you like, learn what food goes best with what coffee etc. etc. and ya, it's crazy. I go to a class tomorrow in Mira Mesa, so that should be fun. I get to work at 4:15 AM next week which should be interesting, but I think I'm working with Kirsten so that'll make it a little worth it. :D My first day here was definately better than my first day at Subway. By the end of my first day there I already disliked 2 people, had a super rude customer, and was totally stressed out. PLUS they made me do all the bitch work...I washed dishes for 3.5 hours my first day at Subway. NOT a good first impression. But I like everyone at Starbucks so far...so let's hope! Anyways, I'm off to pay my bills *sigh*, wash my car (and my dog), take a shower, and sit around tonite. Mike might come over and we might watch "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". Funstuff.

"After bears catch dinosaurs eating fervently, g_?__ h__?_ iguanas jumpkick lions moaning naughtily "oh." Perhaps queers run south to Uganda. Volumptious woozles xray yellow zippers."
So I have been to my share of drama bonfires. And most were with "my" generation. "The group" as I came to know it. And I always had fun. We played tag, threw footballs, made s'mores, ya know. And that's what we did last night. But I can honestly say that last night was perhaps one of (if not THE) best drama bonfire I have ever been to. I chatted with lots of great people, laughed a hell of a lot, sat in the sand watching the water, threw marshmallows *a lot*, warmed myself by the fire, kissed the one I love, almost fell asleep in the grass, and layed in the grass until after 3:00 in the morning just making up silly stories and laughing. My sole reason for leaving was my wakeup time of 6:00 AM this morning. I wish I could have stayed. It's funny...it wasn't even "my group." In fact, most of the people there were people I really didn't know well...or people I usually feel uncomfortable around. And yet, it was great.
So thanks for a great nite, kids.

Last nite I went to the drama BBQ at Monte Vista. The night was full of goodbyes and endings...and not only for the graduates. Most likely, last night was my last drama BBQ. After being at 5, it's over. There's honestly no reason for me to return to the Little Theatre besides attending an occasional play. When one graduates, there is glue that holds them to the places they were familiar with. My glue in band faded a long time ago. But there was still quite a bit holding me to the Little Theatre. Now, the only real glue is Ms. B and a small cluster of people (being like, 2) in the class that I know, and even them I'm not too close with. I won't be able to just "stop by" whenever...because I won't be known. Nobody who is in that class next year saw Mame. And I doubt they saw Music Man. To them, I'm just be some random girl who shows up and talks to Ms B and leaves. Nobody will really know me. And even if they do, it's most likely only from pictures, and they won't have shared anything with me. Definately not anything like Music Man or "dance core." Even things like inductions will have less of a reason to attend. What fun is it watching a bunch of people you don't know? As awkward as it has been coming back to the Little Theatre, it will be even worse. And I say awkward because it is. You come back and there's those people who you used to see every single day for hours on end and you haven't seen them in months. They've moved on without you, and will give the occasional hug or "happy" smile but do they really care that you're there? No, not really. They're happy to know you're alive...and happy to see you, but none of them desire to hear you talk for hours about life and how you've changed and what you're doing. They all have their own things to think about. I've been on both ends of this phenomenon and have realized it's quite true. Next year when the seniors go back to visit, the few people who know them will be ecstatic. And then the year after, the number of people who know them will dwindle...and those people will have new people, and will have shared even more experiences with the new people than the "old" people, and with each visit, their excitement will fade. They'll turn "oh my gosh I missed you so much how are you doing? Hows college?" into "Hey there" And that's just what happens. So anyways, I dont know the whole point of this really, besides to say that this group of people who are graduating, are ending quite a bit...and not only in their own lives. I'll miss the Little Theatre. I wish all of you seniors the best of luck in the months and years to come, and hope I'll run into you all somewhere along the line. <3

Aww insomnia. Welcome back, good old friend.
Good times at Lestat's tonite. I still haven't made my mind up about that place.
These next couple weeks need to include lots of friend time and me time. I need to expand my horizons and experience an awakening, some sort of epiphany. I think, perhaps, if I don't, I will disolve.
I have an ache in my stomach that is borderline unbearable. I think it's kicking my ass for messing with it so much this weekend.
Well, in the words of The Used, "It's four o clock in the fucking morning..."
Now I shall stumble off to bed with those lyrics in my head... a seemingly perfect song for the mood I'm in.
Not a bad mood, mind you, but instead a very optimistic one. Perhaps the most optimistic mood I've been in for a long time.
And in the end, I know everything will be okay.
