The Return of Manda

Well, hello everyone. You missed me, right? Probably not, but humor me a little.. :)

My roommate went to Chicago for about a week, taking her computer with her, so I haven't been able to get online. She is so sweet...knowing my love for mint and chocolate, she brought me back some mints, they're called Frango from Marshall Fields. I can't wait to dive into them.

Tomorrow I am driving home for a few days...I'll be coming back next Tuesday. I am really looking forward to being home. I haven't been there since January. Part of me doesn't want to go though, because I know I will have to leave. I hate that feeling. It is funny how I still call it home. Even though I have my own home now, but I don't know...Tulare and my parents will always be home to me.

I hope my drive home goes well. I am not worried about me being able to do it, but being a paranoid person by nature, I am worried about my car. I have taken good care of it, oil changes, air in the tires, etc, so hopefully it goes well. I keep thinking of my old roommates 94 Ford Tracer with an oil leak can make it over the mountain and into the valley, why can't my 99 Cavalier, right? ;)

I am still in love w/the 311 album. I have been listening to it non-stop, well except for right now cause the cd is in my car, but yeah. It's different, but then again, that's 311. Each one of their albums sounds different, which is the cool thing about them. I found out they will be playing KROQ's Inland Invasion, along with Weezer, Live, Cake and others that I would like to see, on my birthday...and guess who isn't going? I first heard about it the day before the tickets went on sale, so I wasn't able to buy tickets, but I am broke anyway. That'd be an awesome birthday present. Oh well. Hopefully there's another LA area show, where they will play longer than 40min, and have cheaper tickets. So far my next concert will be Sir Paul. I am very excited, but at the same time, it's gonna suck having to share it with...but that's okay, I'm seeing Paul McCartney, can't cry over that, huh?

Nothing else has gone on this past week...same ol, same ol. Staying home and watching TV in an attempt to not spend money. It's sorta working.

Next time I post it will probably be at home...I hope all is well. :)

Merc and Ong, Happy Anniversary! And Merc, congrats on the new laptop. I am internally jealous. :)
