Still Adrift

Speaking.

August 28, 2001

Hmm...not much to talk about. No one seems talkative tonight..or maybe it's just me, I dunno. : )

Um..I saw an ad in the paper for a pet store in Visalia that is looking for part time help. I think I might go over there tomorrow afternoon and apply..since you have to do it in person. Now, I think that would be so cool to work in a pet store..i love animals. I just have to find out where it is. ; )

Oh yeah, speaking of jobs, Congrats Merc.

August 27, 2001

First of all, Merc , try not to kill yourself okay?? I'd miss ya. ; )

Speaking of Merc, I ran into a guy that was in the TV/Film Production class and found out his cousin now works where Merc and Wiz worked. That just bugs the crap out of me. I think part of it is that I interned there for 3 weeks and I wasn't even offered a job...and this guy helps out a few times and he's got a job. And another thing is, like, to me, this guy is a total goof off and is not serious, and here i was serious about what i want to do, but he gets a job. Though I guess part of the reason i wasn't offered a job was because the boss didn't like me...perhaps i didn't kiss enough butt when i was there..who knows.

Hmm..there was something else I was going to say..what was it?? Oh, hell i dunno..I guess i'll try and do something some what productive with my day.

Well, It finally happened, I finally had my first incident with my car and another object. ; ) I knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when. Let me tell the story....

My friend and I went to Taco Bell and I didn't park in the best parking spot. It was kind of tight cause behind me was a dumpster with a stucco wall around it and beside me was a curb, so I had to miss both of those. So when we were leaving, there was this other car coming in as i was backing out and i was watching the car to make sure i knew that it was doing..so here i am backing out, and all of the sudden the car stops. i hit the the wall that surrounded the dumbster...so I pulled back into the parking spot to assess the damage. it's not too bad...the car has a rubber bumber, so it didn't dent or anything, but it scratched the paint and kind of cracked the bumber...well, actually i cant' tell if it's a crack in the bumper or the paint..probably the paint. so i came home and had to explain how i hurt my mom's car. and i got a lecture on the lines of 'you need to be more aware.' which i was..but i guess i should have been watching my mirror and not the other car. but hey, it could have been worse... : )

Shortly after I got home this afternoon, I saw that my mom was staring at something outside, so I walked over to the door and there was a van from a flower shop parked right in front of our house. My mom and I looked at eachother funny, cause we thought 'who here at this house would get flowers?' Turns out they were for next door. *sigh* and I had my hopes up too. But yeah right, who'd send me flowers??

Did I ever tell anybody that all I want in life is flowers?? That's it..that's all I want..dammit, I just want a beautiful bouquet of flowers! lol.
Okay..enough of that...

I had 2 quizzes today..boy I tell ya, teachers sure don't hesitate when it comes to jumping right into the semester do they?? I guess if I get bored this weekend, I can do homework..woohoo. But I have noticed that I am slacking..already. Now normally, I will start off each semester by saying to myself, "Okay, this time I'm going to work really hard, study, and get straight A's, etc." For the first month or so I am pretty good and then the slacking comes along. So now, I am wondering since I am slacking at the beginning if i will start working hard in the middle of the semester?? Who knows...

Oh, and it will be 2 men I have sex with and I will be in love w/one of them. And I have a 71% chance of dying during sex..lol.

I am very happy to hear that FJ is having fun here in CA.

Happy Birthday Brian!!! *pokes* heheh

August 18, 2001

So my parents decide to go to Sears to get a new gas dryer, in the hopes of lowering our electric bill. Well, when they get back, I am on the phone in my room and my dad comes in with a brand new monitor for my computer!! I was/am so happy! It's a 17 in. with, i think my dad said 27 dpi?? If that is the same as dot pitch ; ) All I know is that is supposed to be a good one..lol. But it's soooooo big, I had to put my comp. on the floor...hehehe. I love it...I love the smell..*sniffs air*. New electronics always smell good. : D

You know, as i'm sittin here farting around, i just remembered that i have homework to do. Hmm..I guess i should do my best to start this semester off on the right foot. ; )

Way to go Ryan Newman!!

I found out that some songs sound a little different when they are listened to in a half-conscious state. Songs such as: Incubus - Stellar, 311 - You Wouldn't Believe, and Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue. These are songs that were playing on the radio after my alarm went off at 4:30am.

Wow, I haven't even gone to school yet and I've already learned something today. : ̃ Oh yeah...I also found out that girlie does not function very well on 3 hours of sleep. : \

August 14, 2001

This has to be one of the most beautifully written songs:
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight."
Iris, Goo Goo Dolls


I'm feeling mushy, sentimental, and a bit lonely tonight.

August 13, 2001

You know what?? I think Claire may be on to something.. ; ) Btw, that was funny...made me laugh for the first time today. : ) I had never even thought about that...Barbie would definitely look cooler if she wasn't so preppy and donning(sp) a 311 shirt. : ̃

August 12, 2001

Okay, Mattel has officially ruined Barbie. I am so disappointed by this. : (

Damn Jeff Gordon again.

But...

Yay to Jerry Nadeau , Jeff Gordon's team mate and my fav. driver. ; ) He did very well today. *big grin*

August 11, 2001

So, let me tell you about my day since I have nothing else to do:

I got up at 9:30 or so feeling like crap, read the newspaper, watched a little tv, ate breakfast, took a shower, flopped on my bed for about 15 min. after my shower, got dressed, brushed my hair, played solitaire for an hour and i finally won, *takes breath*, woke my dad up, went to Visalia to buy my books for school : (, went to Costco (OMG they were so packed), came back to Tulare, got online for a few hours, went to Wally World(Wal-Mart), where they screwed up my pictures so I had to wait an extra 30 min. to get those done, I also got my school stuff while i was killing time : (, left Wally World, dropped $$ off to my best friend (hi Rena!), went to the grocery store, came home, got a surprise phone call from Curt( I love surprise phone calls!), started laundry, ate dinner, did more laundry, washed the dishes, did more laundry, and oh my goodness here I am. *catches breath*. That, ladies, gentlemen, and frogs was my day! Wooo!!

"The Climb"
By: No Doubt


Step by step
I've come closer to reaching the top
Every step must be placed so that I don't fall off
Looking down to see about how much higher I am
Another cool wind comes through and brushes my skin
The harder I push the tension does grow
I gather my thoughts the further and further I go
With some luck I just might keep on climbing
So better to climb than to face a fall
So high the climb
Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds

Pulling myself up by a rope
I better my view
The only thing in sight is what I must do
As I turned I could see myself falling
Which in return save me strength for the climb

So high the climb
Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb
Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds

Although many failed I must now prevail with no question
Have no time to stop
Onward to the top of the mountain
And I can't turn back now
Its so very high but I can't turn back now
If I keep it up, I'm gonna make it

I'm so very close can't you see
So high the climb
Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
So high the climb
Can't turn back now
Must keep on climbing up to the clouds
I'm getting closer

For some reason, I am feeling sad tonight. Just like all of the sudden, I am sad. : ( I hate when I do this...

Sing
by, Travis

Baby, you've been going so crazy Lately, nothing seems to be going right Solo, why do you have to get so low You're so… You've been waiting in the sun too long...But if you sing, sing sing, sing, sing, sing For the love you bring won't mean a thing Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing Colder, crying on your shoulder Hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine Surely, you've been going to early Hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped...But if you sing, sing sing, sing, sing, sing For the love you bring won't mean a thing Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing Baby, there's something going on today But I say nothing, nothing, nothing, Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

August 05, 2001

Damn Jeff Gordon.

August 04, 2001

I have this over all frustration lingering over me. It's a combination of a few different things. I just hate it when I feel out of control...it's just this nasty, ugly, crappy feeling. I think part of my problem is that I am such a people pleaser, which I need to stop. I can not make every one happy all the time. Ugh...anyways...I need to get happy cause I am going to my friend's little B-day party..she turned 20! That means in our little group of friends, I am next! Scary..lol.

On a very happy note, the Frog is back!! ; )
