i went to kmart today and bought a comforter set. i was just going to buy a comforter from a brochure that fullerton sent and the comforter was $40. well, this comforter set w/sheets, pillowcase, and comforter was the same price, so i went for the comforter set. this is the one i got. i was going to go with this one, cause i'm kinda into the darker colors, but i decided to be daring and go for the colorful one. : ) i like it so far. ; )

i got a call from fullerton today. this lady told me that they got my enrollment verification, but they can't do anything yet because there is a $10 charge for them to do that. i was like what the fuck? you need $10 to mail something to COS? this whole going to college thing is starting to look like a hassle and it's pissing me off. i mean i am happy, but you have to go through so much crap to get it done, it's just annoying. though, this just could be my mood, cause the past few days i've been kinda pissy i guess you could say. : ) so i guess i'll send my $10 so i can get my scholarships.

I didn't realize that it has been a week since i blogged. doesn't really matter cause there really hasn't been anything to blog about. : ) yesterday, monique had to take her car to get a motor mount fixed, and she found out that she had to wait about 4 hours, so i went to pep boys to keep her company and then i came home. nothing exciting there really...and then today monique and i went to a few stores in her car. (she just got her license a few weeks ago and i hadn't been in the car w/her driving yet) and well she was bringing me home and she ran a stop sign and scared the shit out of me. it was kinda funny, cause she was going kinda fast and i said "stop sign" and she said she heard me, but it just didn't click. she ran a stop sign going across Tulare Ave., which is a *very* busy street. thank god there were no cars coming. definitely had to pick up my heart.

i found this interesting. it reminds me of when i went to southern ca last year. that's about a 4 hour trip from where i am and at one point my mom and i had to use the restroom...we stopped somewhere between here and there, out in the desert. it was a convenient store...a rather big convenient store and we had to pay a quarter each to use the bathroom. i was like wtf?? of course curt told me, "well that's southern CA for ya." i'd been to southern ca before and in northern ca and i've never heard of having to pay to use the bathroom. kinda pissed me off.

today, i *finally* got to meet ong! it was so cool! i've chatted w/ her a few times online and we've e-mailed back and forth... mainly cause i had questions about fullerton. ; ) she had her bridal shower today and she was kind enough to invite me. i'm really hoping to get to know her better when i move...she's really cool. : )

on a totally different note, i thought i'd do an update on winston. he has more than developed his personality. he's really onry, but he does cute things too...like when i put my hand down towards his level, he'll jump in my hand. whenever my mom works, she will open my bedroom door when she leaves, so i can hear through out the house and everything. well, winston's latest thing is after my mom leaves, he will come in my room, jump on my bed, walk up to pillow and just literally plop down right on my face. and so i'll move him and then maybe change positions and then he'll plop on my face again. he does that with my mom at night too. and he likes to sleep by your head, right on your pillow. it's kinda cute, but it can really angry my sinuses.

no plans for tomorrow. i can't watch the nascar race cause it's on a cable channel, so i'll have to find something to do w/myself tomorrow. : )

music: incubus - warning

for some reason i have been pretty much "blah" all day long. though my dad pointed out to me that i have absolutely nothing to be bummed about...i'm glad he knows me so well...*sarcasm*

yesterday i turned in my insurance application, so hopefully that will get started soon. i need to get my immunizations before i go to school and i can't go anywhere and get them done w/o insurance. i might be able to at a clinc for free, but they will take my parents' income in to account and that will get me nowhere. i am hoping the insurance kicks in soon.

i went to target yesterday and i noticed that they had extra-long twin sheets on sale for $16.00, which was the cheapest i had seen them. well i came home last night and looked at an ad for big lots!, formerly macfrugals...(for those who don't know, this is a discount store). anyways, they had extra-long sheets on sale for $9.99, so last night my mom and i got some. i would have gotten more than one set, but i only had $10.00 and some change. they're navy blue. i'm not much of a dark sheets person...actually i'm more of a flower type person. (i know, i'm such a girl, but i can't help it).

hmm...i thought i had more to say then this...no plans for tomorrow, i do need to call fullerton and see if i can get some kind of proof of registration so i can get my scholarships. so far, that is the only thing on my agenda...woooo.

As of 7:30am this morning, i am a registered student at Cal state fullerton. i say that cause, well, this whole time i've been worrying about going to fullerton and the reality never quite hit me. well, it kinda did today. i am getting excited about going. i look at it as a whole new chapter starting and a whole new experience in my life. i guess the phrase "change is good" would apply here, but i still tend not to believe it. going to school is going to be bittersweet i think. i'm excited, but i also have to say goodbye. granted, i will be back for holidays and whatnot, but i am not planning on living in tulare ever again (except those times when i'm not in school). so i will essentially be saying to goodbye to the place i grew up, my house, my pets, my friends, my grandma, my parents...(that is going to be the hardest). it's like my dad said a few days ago, when you live for someone for 21 years, you kinda get used to them. so i'm looking forward to the new experiences going to college and moving to a new place will bring, but i am not looking forward to the goodbyes.

You know, i was feeling fine earlier and now i feel almost disgusted. maybe that's the not right word, but i find myself irritable and impatient. *shrug* i dunno, like i said i was fine earlier. it's probably my computer...it always has a way of pissing me off.

i went this morning to talk to a guy about health insurance. he gave me some quotes and gave me a suggestion of what plan i should pick. i think it's a good plan. kind of a big deductible, but i can't afford over $100 a month for a small deductible. i guess i'll show my parents and see what they think. i need to get insurance asap.

< whine >it's too damn hotttttttttt!!!!!!!!! : \. Ugh..all freaking week 105+ degrees. how cruel the world is man. it's like 90 degrees by 10am..*grumble* i'll take cold anytime. < /whine >

well, i register for my classes at fullerton on monday. i've got a few classes picked out, i just need to pick out the times. so far i'm thinking about Intro to Radio/tv/film, audio production, the language of film, hollywood and amercia, some sort of english class, and a film music class. i'm pretty much winging it this semester until i can get down there and try and meet with some one and map out my whole schedule. while i was looking at the music classes, i did notice that fullerton offer's a beatles music class! Woo! ; ) gonna have to take that before i leave there. : ) i also want to look at some business classes. hmm..well, i have a few days to figure it all out. the only class i am taking for sure is intro to radio/tv/film.

one more thing: good luck in your job search merc. : )

Well, I had a pretty much uneventful Sunday...the only thing I did do was go visit my grandma. let's see...today I went to the dollar store and looked at what i could buy there for when i move. i can actually buy quite a bit there, which will save me money. thank goodness for dollar and .99¢ stores. : )

last night i felt like watching a mushy love story. i'm not sure why, but once in a while those movies seem to comfort me somehow..*shrug* anyways, i watched the first half of titanic. I figured titanic would be a good, mushy love story. I didn't get to the second tape (half) cause i was getting tired, but maybe i will finish it tonight and more than likely cry at the end. : )

my sunburns are doing better. the redness in my arms is pretty much gone and now only my face and neck are sore. though, my neck is much sorer than my face. and itches...oh my goodness. i've been putting aloe vera on it too. my face feels like it wants to peel which isn't good. it is rough to the touch...and the last thing i want is for my face to peel. i can deal w/my neck, but not my face.

hmm, well this blog hasn't been exciting has it? i guess i thought i had more to say. *shrug*

i don't eat nearly enough poptarts.

I am soooooooooooo tired. : ( i woke up at a quarter to 6am this morning (after falling asleep at 1:30am) because we were having a yard sale. i got up early to help my mom set things up and go through some boxes of stuff that her friend had given her. i walked away w/ a few things that i can take with me when i go to school, so that is good. all in all it wasn't a bad day, my mom made over $60, which i got $10 of. i guess the rest she is going to put away to help buy college stuff. the only bad thing about this yard sale is that i got totally fried. mind you i was only in the direct sun about 15 min, no more than 20 i would think and i got really sun-burned. my face (nose, cheeks, forehead), my forearms and since i had my hair in a bun, the back of my neck are all as red as can be. though right now, it's my face that hurts the most. my face is pretty warm and tender. *sigh* who would have that 20 min. out in the sun would burn me so much? i mean i figured i'd get a little red, but i didn't expect to be fried. i guess w/my fair skin, it doesn't take much to do some sun damage.

let's see, tonight we also tried the new sonic restaurant that was built and it was soooooo good. : ) i love their fries, the burgers aren't bad, and i had a chocolate creame pie milkshake.. *drools*. ; ) it is nice to have something different around here. hmm...i wonder if they have one in fullerton? i'll have to look that up.

my 4th of july wasn't bad. monique and i went to rena's house..her family was having a bbq and bought some fireworks. though, monique and i missed most of the fireworks because we were watching a movie and didn't want to miss any of it. we were watching riding in cars with boys, with drew barrymore. that was such a good movie. i'll have to watch it again though, cause i missed some of the dialogue cause it was hard to hear. but over all my 4th was good, which i am glad. i figured i'd be staying home that night. ; )

i think i need some more aloe vera....

there hasn't been much going on with me lately. i don't think i've even left the house since, um, well last week sometime..oh yeah, last thursday. so a week. omg..a week? geez..who knew it was that long ago? *sigh*

i have just really been bored off my ass this past week. sadly, i think that may be because our satellite got cut off so there is not as much to watch. i sure got spoiled...i couldn't remember what it was like to watch tv without cable or satellite. i have been watching a few movies here and there though. like romeo and juliet, tombstone, and space cowboys. i've been wanting to watch 311's 2nd home video, but i haven't gotten around to it. shockingly, i've only watched it once and i've had it since um, dec. i think. and i've watched their 1st one so much, i can still recite lines from it. such as, "cross this line you die, cross this line you die, cross this line, cross this line, cross this line, you die," or "give me the mic, give me the god damn mic.....hi..we're here to party, in germany, baby." yeah i know that means nothing to any of you, but i though it'd throw it in the blog.

i am getting quite worried about this whole school thing. i honestly don't know how in the hell i am going to live. i mean i will be there, but i have no clue how i am going to eat or do any kinda of extra activities which require money. i will probably need to get a small job just to have some of that money. my mom and i made a list of things i would need to take with me...the list contains everything from like scotch tape, to bedding. just any little thing i am gonna need and it is pretty long. speaking of bedding, i did get a brochure in the mail to buy the extra long bedding that i need..fullerton sent it out. so i might do that, i'm not sure yet. there's still quite a few things that need to be bought, plus i need my "shots" (I feel like an animal when i say that), and i need to get some health insurance. i was looking into what fullerton offers, but they want the whole payment for the insurance up front and that is over $600, so that's definitely not going to happen. hopefully, we'll get the money somehow to do all of this...i guess i'll get to know what people really mean when they say they are a "poor college student."

so has anyone seen the trailers for that movie called eight legged freaks? well, just in case you haven't, it is a spider movie and these spiders are lifesize. now, i can *barely* watch the trailer w/o getting the willies...so i have no clue how people are going to be able to go watch this in the theaters on a huuuuuge screen w/this lifesize spiders...*shivers* not that i think it is going to be a big hit, but i'm sure some people will go and see it.

alright, i guess i am done babbling....oh..Happy 4th of July! and those celebrating, have fun and please be safe...lots of crazies out there. : )

music: 311 - transistor man this song is awesome...*starts groovin*

Kitties!!

okay..here are the kitties that i have been talking about...Super Kitty and Winston. many, many thanks to merc helping me post the pics. *hugs* : )

Super Kitty



Winston
a small note about winston...the last pic is the most recent i have and he looks nothing like that anymore. he's gotten much bigger and his eyes are no longer blue. they're a brownish, yellow color, but you can see what he kinda looks like. : )





So, there's the kitties...i told you Super was beautiful ; ). i did try and post them side by side, but i had no clue how to do that, so i just centered them. : )
