Padres

Jessyca and I went to the Padres game. Caitlin's, my bestfriend who lives in texas, mom got the three of us tickets. It was a good game 'cause we almost won..except Sweeny decided to get a third strike and be the third out at the bottom of the ninth with two bases loaded... Whatev, it was still fun. Cute boys everywhere, getting hit on by the vender guys, fyi they seem to like when skinny girls order chili cheese dogs with onions and jalepenos, little kids a few rows in front of you yelling at the players, the drunk Hollister guy sitting behind us, the drunk dancer guy in front of us, oh yea...and the baseball game! No, really, I love baseball. I just don't do a good job of following it. I need to date a jock, that likes to watch and go to games with his girlfriend. Then maybe I'll be better about keeping up with it. All in all, it was a great day. I'll see if I can get the video up of drunk dancing guy.

HNT #1

Ok, this is my first HNT. I thought I'd start with my newest scar. Neck surgery number two. Stupid cancer, whatev. I'm free of it now and I have this scar to prove it. Think of it this way, I have a new line to use..."You shoulda seen the other guy"!!!

Back to School

Ok, it's Thursday. Day three back to school. It's been great today.
So far:
~I made the first intelligent comment in our discussion on our literary work for the first part of this semester, "Brown: The Last Discovery of America" by Richard Rodriguez. It went something like this, "I thought the opening paragraph in his preface was interesting, because as an artist brown is a very difficult color to mix...blah blah blah brown-nosing-comments-here>".
~I noted that the boy sitting catty corner from me had on black tennis one with a white lace and the other with a black lace. That wasn't the wierd part. What was strange was my internal dialogue about how he had the laces on the wrong feet, white symbolizing good should be on the right foot which also sypmbolizes good, and black should beon the left...because both color and side indicate evil. I'm a nerd...I know. I love it.
~Then I met with my individual speech coaches:
Dewi-for PUI and Prose. She thinks that I'm the only one who can pull off a certain prose piece, but there's a scheduling conflict...we'll work it out hopefully. And we chose a topic for the PUI (you splice together segments from different pieces centering around a common theme) about the trend in the abduction and murders of pregnant women. This should be a scary and dark topic, but we're both excited bacuse we want to do something other than the dramatic death or relationship hurts that you see from everyone else.
Chris-for Persuasive. Basically, we need to pick a topic and go from there. He didn't remember me from about a year and a half ago until I jogged it with a swift kick to the head...no, just kidding, I had Fezzic with me and he learned how to jog memories without knocking the guy out first.
~Then debate practice. Nothing is scarrier for me. Being forced to think quick on my feet and in public too. But Brandon and the other guys have been great. And the impossible drills are not so bad once you get started. We did these drills called 'impossible drills'. You have to get up and talk about whatever subject they give you without stopping until they tell you you're done. And then they start correcting your fillers 'umms, errrs, ahhhs...' and also your posture etc. yeafun, let me tell you. But once you get over it, not so bad really.
~now I'm on my way to the Dave Matthews Concert with Jessyca, catch ya'll later and I'll let you know how it was!!!!

A thought & complaining

So I had this thought...(in reference to the face analyzer peeps)why would they lump Korea and Japanese together, but separate China? This makes no sense to me having grown up in martial arts, More specifically, Tea Kwon Do. If you confuse anyone of Asian decent with any of the other descents you are bound to offend them. I know, I've seen it happen. They don't like it when you mix them up. Well, maybe most people can't tell the difference, it's true, or don't know enough to try and ask politely before assuming where people come from. Whatev, on their behalf, I think it's rude.

Secondly, what the heck is up with the 15 freeway!!! It was 10 something in the morning when I finally merged onto it and thwap...break lights all over the place. And if you don't think they can be blinding during the day, even in Californian sunshine...then you've never experienced So Cali Traffic! Lame. It was never like this before. What are all these people doing? They should be at work already. And why are they stopping? There was no apparent reason. There's no main exit or entrance ramp in that part of town...there was no accident to be rubber necking about...just people who thought it would be funny to slow down in front of me. Well, you all suck rocks...hot ones...boulders!!!

www.faceanalyzer.com

Jessyca, you suck rocks!....well not really, I say that because I was supposed to be getting ready to come over to your house and then you said I had to check your blog, which is hysterical by the way. But then I got stuck on this face analyzer thingy..geez.

Anyway, it is ludicrous 'cause apparently I am 100% Korean/Japanese. But my celeb match is Jennifer Garner, which cracks me up on so many levels. However, the personality profile doesn't fit me at all. Well maybe a few sentances but otherwise, that is not me. I mean really, "Artists do not interact with you, for they consider you to be a slave of conformity." and I think "Artist types are unrealistic and immature". Really? Wow, I'm going into the wrong profession then!!

Ok, I can't get the stupid link to work so I deleted it, so you will just have to trust me. But here is the website if you want to try it for yourself: www.faceanalyzer.com

They thought he was a gonner, but the cat came back!!

For those of you still curious about Gatsby...He is now home safe and sound. I guess I just got so into taking care of him that I forgot to post that he is well and doing fine. I had lots of Rx to give him at first and he was very groggy most of the time. But he is now urinating on his own, and now that he is off his meds, in the correct place too, his litter box. Thank God! He's still on his special diet and probably will be for the rest of his 9 lives, although we haven't worked up to dry food yet. That seems to upset his excratory system. You guys like how I use technical jargen? I think it helps it not sound so icky. These pics were taken from my camera phone the day he came home from the vet. He had urine all over him so he got his first bath ever in his lifetime. He was alway indoors all the time and kept himself so clean that I never needed to give him one before. Thankfully he was all drugged up when I gave it to him, otherwise it may have been more of a struggle. As it was I came out unharmed. He now is back to his old self, excepting that he is a little warmer, as in, actually wants to sit and sleep next to me and spend time with me. It's very cute and I think both he and I have relearned how much we mean to eachother. And speaking of which, I haven't been home all day, so I think I will spend a little time with him before I go to bed.

First day back to school tomorrow, I can't wait!!!

Hazzardous Eating

I HATE NACHOS!!!!!!!
Jess and I went to go see 'Dukes of Hazzard', which was a thooth cracken movie let me just tell you! Literally. Since we were running late andPanera Bread was already closed Jess bought us some nachos. (I bought the tickets) Jess kept laughing cause everytime we started munching on them it was like it was magnified over the speakers or something. Anyway, she must have been too embarrased to wat them because of it cause I as going at them like a starving child...which I kinda was. Then all of a sudden somehting in myn mouth didn't feel right. Yeah, you guessed it, I cracked by back tooth on a nacho....ON A NACHO! How does that happen. I am now 1/4 less a tooth because of these stupid things. Needless to say, I stopped eating them right then and there. And if you think seperating a half eaten crunchy chip from pieces of a cracked tooth in the dark of a movie theater is easy, you're dead wrong. There I was stuck sucking on what could have been chip or one been connected to my molar. If my saliva did it's predigestion process correctly, it was a chip, if nothing happened after a minute, well then, it must calcium and whatever else bones are made of.
And I still don't have dental insurance...lovely.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
High: singing in the car with Jessyca on the way home from the movie

Low: you heard about it, see above

Compliment: third party from Ma'J from Jessyca to me; "Jenni is a really good dancer"
Thanks Jess, that means alot comming from you, cause hey, you are a really good dancer!

What a life I live!...

Yeah!! I finally got my rootbeer. Just one glass at dinner with the fam though. For all those of you who know me and that I don't drink soda, here's the deal. 2000; my new years resolution was to only drink 2 sodas a month, so it's not that I don't drink soda, it's that I don't drink it as part of my regular diet. Every once in awhile as a treat. Otherwise, SODA IS BAD FOR YOU!!! They use it to clean car parts and medical equipment, etc, gross!!! However, mission accomplished. I can now sleep peacefully tonight.

However, I will sleep peacefully tonight anyway cause what did I accomplish today?....I went to the gym and then went out with Katie and Jessyca country lone dancing. Now, anyone who says that's lame, it's probably because your so stuck on your rocker/pop/punk/whatev style and can't open up to anything not mainstream. Let me just tell you that you are missing out. It's way fun and a much better work out than simple hip hop. I know I've been in better shape but after tonight I know I need to get into better shape! It was a blast.

Jess, I'm glad we finally got to go out dancing together! Sorry that you had to have that guy all over you and trying to take you home. And sorry I got the cute one hitting on me...well, I'm sorta sorry. A little bummed I didn't get my slow dance though. Maybe next time. And we need to work on those mad line dancing skills!!! Next time we won't look so dorky! Or...maybe we will cause we won't have Katie with us next time. I've never seen someone pick up dance like this girl does!

Katie: I'm going to miss you soooo much when you move to Utah. But BYU is such an awesome opportunity for you and I know you've been trying to get in forever. A little distance can't keep two bestfriends apart!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

High: Supreme breakfast croisant and eggroll from Jack in the Box, it always tastes so much better at 2am in the morning after a hard nights dancing!

Low: Mom the nazi-cleaning lady...she's not Mom when she's in that frame of mind...she's the enemy. The only place to hide...in Brent's room...I know, wierd, but I think his door makes you invisible or something...

Compliment: "You're fun to dance with" from the hot guy that was hitting on me tonight.

Rootbeer...


Ok, so what was the deal tonight! I hardly ever drink soda, but tonight it just seemed fitting, with the Taco Bell that we were eating and everything. But TB doesn't carry Rootbeer...so Jessy and I tried the drug store. No such luck, all they had was diet...what's that, diet rootbeer? Unless I wanted to buy a whole 12 pack, which I would never really drink the whole thing ever and I have only $20 to last the rest of the month. They even called the night manager to look for me, no dice. He was kinda cute for an older guy though. Whatev. The universe simply did not want me drinking Rootbeer tonight. Sux.

But here are some more compliments that I remembered or recently recieved:

~You could easily pass for 19.
~You know your a hottie, duh!
~The camera loves you. You should think about doing a little modeling.
~You have no idea the influence you've had on all the poeple around you. There's a little piece of you in all of them.

What the heck!

Oh my gosh, why is it 0'dark thirty something?!?!?!? How do I do this, get on the internet and start looking something up and think, oh, I should get this done too...and the next thing you know...it's way past your bedtime? But hey, I'm not even sleepy. I blame it on the Tuxedo Mocha that I had with Jessy tonight. Thanks girl! And thanks for the Claim Jumper too, you really lifted my spirits. But don't get mad...I never did practice the guitar tonight...I got stuck on here.
***But everyone check out the 'Stuff I Want' thingy on my sidebar. Awesome isn't?!***
*sending subliminal message* "buy me something!"
Compliments I have recieved recently:
~ I met this girl the otherday that looks just like you, very pretty, you have a twin running arround.
~ I saw something in you Sunday that I have never seen before. I saw the potential for you to be a great leader.
*I will add more as I remember them, it's getting early...

Gatsby

Sorry I haven't posted yet. I've been home for four days now, you have no idea what can happen in just for days that can try and make you forget all about the last seven. I will be letting you all in on the Mexico trip soon!!! Right now I'm still worried about my cat, school, and a job...
Gatsby, the best male specimen in my life even though feline, was really sick when I returned home on Saturday. I had to take him to the vet yesterday. Poor thing has a blocked urethra and now damaged kidneys. Although I'm believing he will have a complete recovery to full health. Imagine having a catheter and iv for three days...suck. he seems to be doing better today, but we won't know til later. He still won't eat. I get to go visit him and see if he will eat while I am there. Please prat for him and then pray for me 'cause I don't know where all this money is going to come from.

This cat has been with me through everything since graduating from highschool. I don't know what I'd do without him. He needs to get better and he needs to do it soon.
