Who Knows

Yes as one might have deduced, I am in the JC library once more, and I am slightly depressed because I am done with book number four of a fantasmic series about a woman named Stephanie Plum.  If I didn't have so much time to kill here, I wouldn't be nearly so bummed, but alas, I have another hour, if not more, here sitting, blogging, waiting, doing random things online and just being plain bored.  I should be working on my second part of my Philosophy 5 final paper, but I really don't want to just yet, even though it is due next Tuesday... I hate this semester.  I swear, the only good things about it are getting to hang out with my bestie about an hour and a half a week, and not having school on Fridays.  Everything else just stinks like crap. I'm over crowded most of the time (even at home), I have to wake up ridiculously early every day, share food (and practically everything else in life), wait for hours at a time to go home, I'm not doing so hot in my geology lab class which means I'll probably have to do something stupid like re-take it in an upcoming semester, I have to deal with retards every day in all of my classes, I have not been getting any sleep what so ever, my sex life has sucked royal a$$, things seem ultra rushed and like I have no time in the world to do anything I want.. wake up, go to school, wait, come home from school, eat (sometimes), sleep.. repeat that process every single day and that's my life. I will be so happy when this semester is over. And while I am ranting about what's not very fun in my life, it's fracking cold outside almost all the time now.  Uncool man.. uncool.  Especially since I am a warm-weather-type person and don't have much in the way of appropriate clothing for rain and sleet.  Speaking of clothing, I went through my whole wardrobe and I'm giving a good 60% of it away to charity for people who are homeless and lack there of clothing.  Nice right? But of course it's all clothing that I either don't like enough to wear anymore, or it's due to the fact that I don't fit into it anymore.  Sad right?  But yeah, I hope a bunch of people get use of what I've given away.  Ah, mental note: stop by GoodWill to drop off some shoes that I don't like or wear anymore. I really wish that this person in the next row would use different headphones, because I can hear every part of the jazz piece they're listening to clear as a bell and it's really quite annoying (not to mention that it's even worse than my brother, which is really saying something)... New topic time: New Years Resolutions.  I've decided mine already.  Get fit and sexy again.  I used to be so hot now that I look back at pictures taken of me just a couple years ago, and I am disgusted at how much weight I've gained and how many sizes I've gone up. Makes me want to puke. I want to get rid of the flab and the fat and add muscle mass and sexiness.. Yay.. only a half hour left before he thinks about coming to pick me up... -_- ... The guy I am sitting next to looks like a straight up serial killer or some homicidal maniac.. kind of looks like the dude that plays the wolf trapper in Ladyhawk, but only with a hair cut. And if you don't know what he looks like.. here ya go:

Creepy yes? .. Try sitting next to him while he is playing a combat game and hearing him groan and grumble about good or bad shots made =/  It's a bit nerve-wracking if I do say so myself.. But he just politely asked for the time, so I am assuming that he is a nice guy.  Man I desperately need a haircut. My ends are totally fried and split. It's gross, but not nearly as nasty as that girl that sits in the row in front of me and to the left a seat in choir... She thinks she is the bomb and wears tight clothing even though she is probably 20 pounds heavier than I am, which means that she's slid into the 200 range.. She never wears anything flattering and wears way way WAY too much make-up and tries to be amazing and acts like she knows everyone and that everyone likes her. She isn't all that pretty at all.. and she's got dandruf like she just stepped inside from a blizzard. She was picking at it all choir today and it's so nasty and thick that she could pick out large chunks out .. and she wasn't just scratching at her head, she was literally picking at her scalp and peeling pieces off.. (it made me want to hurl).  And to make it all worse, she was biting her fingernails afterwards... ew.. just EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!! I was legitimately sick to my stomach for the majority of class.  Just thinking about it makes me want to blow chunks. Ahh.. he just got done teaching a class.. I'm betting that he will be here in a half hour due to that social kind of thing he always does and loses track of time to a point where I get highly irritated because it feels like he's forgetting that I exist. It is five minutes after class has ended and chances are he hasn't even thought about leaving yet... Ten minutes after the half hour now and I'm still betting that he's chatting it up with fellow gym-people and hasn't had a teeny tiny thought trickle into his math-bogged brain about leaving to pick me up and go home. Fifteen minutes past the half hour and still no text saying that he's on his way.. twenty minutes past now, and still no text. I feel forgotten. Time to prod and make him realize the time. I'm done waiting. >:| FINALLY! He's five minutes away. Time to bust out of this joint and get some blood back into by butt. (it's numb from sitting so god dang long). 

PEACE OUT!

Late, My Mistake

Oh the joys of being caught up with life.. school and all that it includes, family, the boyfriend, regular friends.. You know the drill.  It has been almost a full month since I have actually had legitimate time to post a blog due to this thing called life and all it has in store for me.  For the past month it seems like I've been so incredibly busy that it's not even a million miles close to funny.  I've done things like power written essays from scratch the day they're due even though I'd not really read the material needed to write said essays, skipped classes in order to write said essays, been doing other homework such as anthropology, dealing with issues that are family members (such as my little cousin being a complete brat during my time up in Volcano during Thanksgiving time and crying over a pillow being too close to his bed, being asked to get a bottle of water and drink a bit of it and not being able to find his PJ pants (that are frankly way too small for him in the first place) and just being a nasty little creature from H.E. double hocky sticks.  I mean for goodness sakes.. he is 11 years old, in middle school as a sixth grader and threw at least 2 tantrums each day we were on vacation.. he cuddles stuffed animals and stuffs his blankie in his bed so he can sleep all coiled up in it, as well as starts crying if his mom is late for work and asks him if he can bike to school, he obviously refuses and since she starts work an hour earlier than he starts school, he always makes her late.. and he also has to have mommy there to do his homework for him... Pathetic much..?).  And then there are things like being dog-tired every single day because I can't sleep worth a damn anymore and wake up every couple hours.  I used to be able to sleep like the dead, but then college hit me in the gut and I'm stressed like cah-razy.  So yeah, I have been incredibly busy lately and that's why there's been a lack of my posting.  I've also got a broken laptop so that part sucks.  -_-,  But on the bright side, I have all of my classes chosen for the next semester =) I have my boyfriend to thank for that because if it weren't for him tutoring me before I took my math placement test today (which I barely squeased into, but luckily was first on the waiting list so I got in)  and I got a much higher score than I thought I would, I expected to get into elementary algebra (150) but got into intermediate algebra (155) .. not bad for not taking a legitimate math class in almost 4 years right? :D  Oh but I was scared as heck when I was looking over practice exams before, and while I was taking the test.. I was so scared I thought I might puke on the keyboard.  But I made it, and even though everyone was given a three hour time limit, I did it in just under one hour and apparently did really well...  The boyfriend unit should be out of class and walking my way soon.. but knowing him he'll be talking to some of his math buddies for another 10 minutes or so :P  I am glad he is social like that but sometimes it's a bit annoying to get home a half hour later than I originally wanted because of him talking for elongated periods of time and basically losing all awareness of time in general.  He has been out of class for about 5 minutes now, and if he doesn't sociallize for more than a couple minutes, he should be here in another 5.  I think I am going to let him come find me so I don't have to go wait out in the cold, plus it's comfortable in here and not to mention warm too.  And I get to listen to music (I want to watch Spirited Away soon, I'm listening to the pandora station that features the composer of that movie) and it's quite calming, which is definitely a good thing cause I'm PMSing like mad right now and I'm still hyped up about my test scores.  I called my mom and told her, I have yet to tell dad though.  I hope he'll be proud of me.  Back to the classes I've chosen for the spring 2012 semester, I've picked out concert choir, world music appreciation, speech 1A, math 155 and I'm hoping to stick a yoga class in there somewhere because I have it this semester and practically love it because not only is it strengthening my hips, but my core too.. and it's helping me gain back my flexibility cause in August and September I frankly had none what-so-ever.  (It feels like someone is behind me just looming.. but every time I look there's no one there.. I guess I'm just paranoid sometimes, plus the Stephanie Plum novels are probably getting to my head, and with the earbuds in I can't hear very much at all what's going on in back of me so that's got me kind of freaked).  Ahh.. I got that much desired text from le boyfriend and shall be off, on towards home!

Peace, Love and all that Jazz!

Rain ^_^

You know that wet stuff, usually falls in droplets from the sky?  Yeah, that has a high chance of happening this weekend and that makes me very happy.  I look forward to the rain quite a bit, but for multiple reasons.  

1. It was my first word at 6 months old
2. I love the feeling that the air has when it is about to rain
3. The smell of the ground and air changes and I love the fact that I can pick that up 
4.  I love the sound of the pitter-pattering all the way up to not being able to discern between droplets because it's all falling so hard and fast
5. The dark sky is very interesting and casts a different light, which makes me look at things in a different way
6. I like the feel of rain, not physically, but the aura and essence it puts off 
7. My roof is amazing and I love the way I can hear every single drop that hits it, whether it's light as heck and dinky, or thick and heavy

(Oh my goodness the girl across from me in here (the reading room on the 4th floor) is working on a push pop.. you remember those things from the elementary days, you push up the hard candy and then suck on it until there's absolutely nothing left.. and this chick is sucking it like no other :P I think it's pretty funny looking)

so there's another half hour before I am able to claim my rightful spot in the reading room here.. an old man is in it and using up my battery life because of it >.> Uncool.  Another thing that's slightly irksome is the fact that the girls basketball team is in here and making a bunch of noise by talking and eating and whatnot.. IT'S CALLED A READING ROOM FOR A REASON!!!! IT NEEDS TO BE QUIET IN HERE!  >:C ....Quite annoying to say the least....

"10 minutes have elapsed", as the automated woman's voice for Iron Chef, would say... Ohhh man, I think he is moving.. time to take my spot back! Haha! ... I wonder if anyone in here will notice that I moved.  I highly doubt it because I tend to remain invisible to the majority of mankind.  Which I like.  I would so much rather be under the radar than in the spot light.. *shudders*.. I hate being on stage or where everyone can see me and will notice what I am doing.  Time to move! :D  This just made me a whole lot happier.  Yayy I have my spot back ^_^ now it's time to hit the bathroom to get some much needed business done.  Be back in a second.  Ok, I feel much better now.  And now that I'm plugged into the wall (computer, not me literally) I can have my brightness all the way up without diminishing my battery life =)  Quite helpful if you ask me when it comes to seeing.  Holy goodness chick-with-the-pushpop, you've totally destroyed that thing in less than a half hour.  Oh sweet, the majority of the basketball team is leaving.. Goodbye chattering girls.. hello dark ominous clouds! :D  Please rain please rain please rain!!!!! If I only get to see the drops hit the windows of this magnificent room that's pleasure enough for me! C,mon rain!  Precipitation would be absolutely lovely right now...  please.....?  Maybe if I ask nice enough Mother Nature will grant my wishes for rainfall... >.< *wishes really hard for rain* ... >.^ ... not happening yet..... *wishes harder*.... >.< .....  ^.<   I see the clouds, they're full of rain, why is it not raining?!  -_-,  ..... Well you can't say I didn't try.  Time to watch an episode or two.. maybe three or four, of Paranormal State.  I shall write later =) 

... :D

Phail October

Yes I realize that I spelled "Fail" wrong, don't tell me.  I'm already in a bad mood and I don't need it to worsen.  So I really don't like the happenings of 2011's October.. it was an emotional roller coaster and Halloween straight up sucked.  It isn't fun to have a bad cold on Halloween.. and it being on a Monday night in the first place is just uncool to begin with.  So I wont have any photos up of my costume because it didn't fit in the first place.  (My nylons ripped, the costume itself didn't work at all, I started that freaking monthly thing that women have to deal with until they're in their mid 50's, my nail polish didn't like me and kept getting messed up, I forgot some things at home... you name it, it sucked).  Which is also uncool.. wouldn't you agree? Life just basically sucks right now.  I've failed the majority of my geology lab crap (who the frick would be able to memorize and identify 40 different minerals and rocks after seeing each of them only one time?! So there goes my first two exams out the window...).  I've gotten sick and missed almost half a week of school because of it (screw you allergies or whatever the heck is messing with my sinuses).  Back to a failed Halloween.. it was most definitely the most depressing and disappointing Halloween I have ever lived through.  Nothing went right or the way it should have.. except for my pumpkin carving.  I'm proud of it. (I'll post it at the bottom of this thingy.. just FYI: there's a bat to the left, and a crescent moon to the right even though you can't really see it). Today is not the best day either.  Just the little things have completely chipped away at my sanity such as getting a bunch of paper cuts within a second and then having them all swell up like a mosquito bite would, cramps (enough said), my digestive track seems to hate me and is also not feeling so hot, I've had a lack-there-of lovey-dovey attention or time with my boyfriend, being stressed out over school, barely having time at home because I'm always at school, the lack of sleep, the things I bake don't turn out, my new athletic shoes: they creak every time I take a step, I need to lose a good 50-60 pounds in order to be happy with my body and it's going to be extremely hard to do that by the new year.. I don't even think it's possible unless I starve myself and work out a couple times a day, Halloween sucking so bad and all the disappointing things that happened that night, I don't have much motivation in life anymore, I haven't seemed to be happy at all these last couple months, I keep thinking about what I want to do and where I'll end up:  I have no freaking clue about what the heck I want to do or where I want to go and so that's just depressing me... Who am I? ... The list goes on and on...

Just Another Day

I am currently in my bed, it's 7:50 in the AM and holy goodness is it freezing outside, and also in the house my feet are frozen, and they're covered by socks, and my blankets.. I woke up about half an hour ago from just being uncomfortable.  It seems like that has been happening a lot lately, but due to what, I don't know.  I thought I had a relatively comfortable bed, but I guess not last night.  So I noticed a slight problem.  My family wrote down "pumpkin carving" on the calendar for today, but my someone special wont be here today.. and he really wanted to carve with  my family and myself.  But here's the dilemma:  my mom is going to the opera tomorrow, and my boyfriend is coming home tomorrow.  Not to mention that Lil Switz (a hometown polka restaurant that my Opa (grandpa) owned, my dad practically grew up in, my mom worked in, and my dad still frequently plays in a couple Sundays a month, and I practically grew up in there too...) might be giving it's last performance tomorrow night cause apparently the owners can't pay their bills for the place and all of it's clientele are literally dying.  (Only the 60-and-over year olds tend to go to this place cause they're the only people that know how to dance to and enjoy polka music, but the majority of them that grew up dancing to the music can't dance anymore cause of failed joints and what not, and also because there are a lot that are close to dying.. sad right? so that leaves the teeny-tiny-itsey-bitsey-almost-non-existent small number of people like me and my family that knows how to dance and actually appreciates that kind of music, which ultimately entails certain death for this restaurant..).  So between my mother going to the opera for how long, I really don't know, and the fact that my parents would like to see Lil Switz's possible last performance, there's probably no time at all for carving pumpkins.  Which means that it's pushed back to today and my boyfriend probably wont be around to do it with us, which is what he really wanted.  I feel like a horrible person, even though none of this is my fault.. double phail Haley..  


.....but speaking of pumpkin carvings, I was looking some up on google images these past couple of days and found some really cool, and not too difficult carving ideas.  And yes, I care to share  =)  Which one should I do?

In two days time it shall be Halloween! I will post up pictures of my ghostly, or rather, fairy adventures.. I am going to be Tinkerbell while my boyfriend is Peter Pan.  We made our own costumes and I will get some photos up of my Halloween for all to see =)  I hope that everyone has a fun October 31st this year!

Peace, love and all that jazz..

Pet Peeves

I keep thinking to myself, "Oh my goodness that pisses me off.. I wish he/she wouldn't do that/would stop that..." when someone does something that bugs me.. go figure, right? So basically a million gazillion things have been bugging me as of late. It turns out that my boyfriend is the one doing the vast majority of the work.. but I'll most definitely admit that it's not just pet peeves that are getting under my skin, it's the fact that I'm not used to living with someone who isn't family.  Aka, my boyfriend.  He has been living under the same roof and in the same room as me for the last three months and it's really starting to get to me.  I'm not used to it and I'm not used to him always being there. It's like dropping me in a vat of ice water.. I don't know how to react except for in a panicked-type way.. Like I told him a couple weeks ago, I am a chick, therefore I need space.  I can't always be attached to him at the hip, and it seems to upset him.. to the point where lately he has been saying things along the lines of, "why does it seem like you don't like me?"  Not to mention his little fits and spats about nothing important =/  I can use yesterday as an example:  So my boyfriend was putting on his Halloween costume because he had to leave for work and didn't really want to change there and take up the bathroom.  So there was a little problem where when he lifted up his arms (like to go into a handstand or something) his shirt would ride up and his boxer-briefs under his tights would show.  It wasn't that big of a deal but it bugged him to the point where we had to cut his sleeves a little down a few seams so it didn't do it so much.  But the shirt still rode up regardless.. so I offered him the option of wearing a pair of actual boxers and he flipped a b!tch and was incredibly rude to me for offering him the choice of putting something over top his junk to make him more comfortable.. so rude to the point where my mother almost stepped in to tell him to STFU.  That left me irked.  And then he threw a bit of a fit over my denying him some granola??  WTF..? He's just been acting so strangely and the fact that I'm practically constantly with him is not making things easier.  I hope this doesn't destroy our relationship.. 


On to the peeves.. 

• open mouth, loud chewing (he does it frequently and I don't have the heart to tell him about it)
• repeatedly asking "what's wrong?" (it feels like he asks me every single day about every single thing when I'm not responding in a "proper" way..)
• being loud while other parties of the house are sleeping. (Big no-no in my house and in my eyes.  If someone's sleeping and doesn't have a reason they need to be awake, let them sleep for as long as they can cause they'll generally need it.  He's so loud when it comes to being around people sleeping.. my brother even says that he can hear him in the mornings when he goes to get a bowl of cereal or something and hears every little thing he does... and the sinus rinses are so incredibly loud it's not even funny, the boy doesn't know how to be quiet with hardly anything, or doesn't register the fact that he's being loud)
• being a cuddle bug 24/7 (it feels like he's always all over me, like I stated above)

things just seem to be highly annoying to me as of late.. I don't know. I think it's just both of us being oversensitive.  But it's whatever.. I'll deal with it.

Quite A Lot

...Quite a lot has happened in these last few weeks where I have lacked the ability to post.  For one, I went to my all time favorite event, or at least second favorite event (following up the Camp Richardson Oktoberfest): Mount Angel Oktoberfest.  It was quite a riot, and took place September 15-18.  AKA, my birthday.  I got some interesting things that's for sure.  I got a couple sets of earrings, some delicious smelling tea candles, a flower for my hair, a cute, velvety shoulder bag, a diary (which I kind of forgot to bring today, but this is basically the equivalent right?), a necklace that has a flower on one side and "Be Happy" printed on the back, a set of earrings that go with another necklace that's got light blue spherical crystals all up on it, and last but not least, I got this uber cool lap top =) it's a spun silver, HP computer with beats audio and an HD web cam. Sweet deal right? I shall write more, cause it's time for me to go get my much needed coffee from downstairs in the library and head over to my anthropology class to hang out and save a seat for my love.  


Peace for now!    ~Halo

Owchie - Wawa..

Oi, so my feet seriously hurt right now thanks to walking around in my new Sketchers shoes. They're incredibly cute, and look comfortable.. they are comfortable as long as you're not walking more than 100 feet.. maybe even less than that. They're dark grey and sparkle subtly.. totally adorable, and I love them, but they hurt like a mother trucker. Which really sucks, cause they were slightly expensive. I have another 45 minutes in here, and I'm honestly thinking about walking out barefoot because I really don't want blisters. I can feel them brewing under my skin as I type. Little devils. Bathroom update:  So, I believe that I've mentioned that the bathroom in my house is being remodeled and so everything is gutted out, the walls were being replaced when my dad fired the dude he hired for the job cause honestly, I could do so much better than him.. there were huge freaking gaps in between the sheet rock pieces and it was just so poorly put up in the first place. So he was fired, and the bath tub has been replaced, we need a new toilet cause dad cracked the bottom of it, our light fixtures have yet to be installed, the floor needs to be tiled, the walls need to be put up (correctly) and the sink and what-not need to be installed as well. It's going to be quite a long time before the bathroom is usable, but at least it's being remodeled and will be totally rad when it's done. Ok, another 20 minutes in this joint and then I'm going out to meet my love in front of the library and then finally go home!! So stoked! :D  Anywho, just thought I would share some random thoughts with whoever is reading. Nothing of massive importance, but just what's going on as of now.. But I should go just so I can finish reading up on the English homework thingy that needs to be done for what's called "exercise 2" in class. At least my boyfriend is my partner for this one. It's a lot easier when your partner lives under the same roof. Not only does it cut the cost of the majority of the books in half, but it is so much easier to do homework cause he's just right there 24/7, and it's pretty much awesome =) Well I'll be off now, time to read another 15 pages worth of Al Gore's crap. -_-,  Wish me luck.

PEACE!

Schoolio-Coolio.. dawg.

W00T W00T! I be back at the normal JC campus homies! .. Yeah that's right.. I'm a total G... NOT!! Just trying to act like a wannabe gangster that I see every 30 freaking feet around me when I walk outside.. trying to be all cool-like and bumpin' their ridiculous rap or hip hop that they think makes them look so cool! .. But it really doesn't, cause they're all rolling around in beat up, crappy, ugly cars that have no bass what-so-ever.. either that or way too much and it's rattling everyone's bones that's within a mile radius of them.. but that's what I get for living in California.  On the east coast, black people are like our Mexicans here.. I swear. It's nuts. Over there, I was sometimes highly intimidated, but over here, I just laugh my butt off and call them out on their stupidity cause these "wangsters", as I call 'em, just look straight up dumb.  Every time I pass someone like that here, I want to just run up and pants them so they feel as stupid as they look.  Kinda mean, I know, but seriously.. doesn't this look completely idiotic?! (say that with an English accent)..

Ew..

more ew..

Dude.. I can see your junk... *pukes*

He's famous and wearing a diaper..?

... Do they think they look cool...?

Now this is how it should be...

That is what I'm talking about! :D

So yeah.. that was my daily rant about wangsters and how they should not.. and I repeat, NOT sag their pants (or talk in gibberish) cause it just makes them look like dumba$$es.  New topic(s).. so I am back in the SRJC library waiting for my boyfriend to get out of class (currently in a ridiculously difficult math class (as per usual) I think it's his linear algebra class) and I've got the majority of my homework done.  All I need to do is read Ch. 9 in my geology book for tomorrow and do the note thingy that I tend to do with every chapter.  (Man, I really should have brought headphones so I don't have to listen to the crappy rap that's behind me blasting out of crappy headphones into someone's soon to be crappy ears -_- phail Haley). But yeah, I believe that he gets out at around 7.. so an hour and a half from now in uno minoote-oh.  Sliding back to the rap thing.. I found some videos that I laughed my rear off when I watched.. this first one is totally hillarious because it's absolutely true.  The second one is how rap looks in my eyes.. completely stupid, has bad lyrics and horrible dance moves.

In other words, I believe that rap is ridiculously stupid and is not a very productive way of going about expressing one's self or their feelings.. cause it just makes you look like a total idiot =) People should join choir instead and actually learn how to sing!  Hah!! I got the best seat in the house! 4th floor all the way back behind the elevators! Shweet! .. Uhh... it looks like the person that was sitting here before me wet his pants a little =/ at least the dude next to me is moving, cause I'll just switch the seats.. his looks way cleaner than the one I'm currently trying not to be on. Consider them switched! ^_^

Back down to what I was talking about in another post that I was working on earlier this morning when I was at the Petaluma campus.. Halloween costumes. My boyfriend and I plan on being Peter Pan and Tinkerbell this year, and I found a couple that would work for both of us =) this first one would be one of the options.. the second and third pictures are of my other option (believe it or not but the second and third ones are the same costume..) the last photo would be a potential costume for my boyfriend. Personally, I think he'd look absolutely dashing and mouthwatering in this.. gorgeous to say the least ^_^ Oh, speak of the devil.. or rather, angel, he should be getting out of class in about 10 minutes =) awesome right? I get to spend another whole week with him, possibly more if things stay the same, and then we all get to go paintballing for his little sister's 15th birthday, which outta be fun and thrilling.  I promised her my famously delicious Mayan chocolate spice cookies, so I should be making those friday when I don't have school if everything goes as planned.  Speaking of this friday, in my place, we are gutting the bathroom and completely re-doing every thing in there. New sink, new tub, new walls, new cabinets, new shower.. new everything except the toilet (cause that doesn't need to be replaced). I'm stoked to see how it turns out, as well as the process and I'm even more excited to be a part of it =) AHH! I get to see him in 7 minutes ^.^ Awesome right?! I think so.. I love that boy to death. It's kinda scary sometimes though, cause every day now, I catch myself thinking about the future and rings and how I'd plan out a wedding and such.. scary right? Its thrilling to say the least. And what really gets me is that he askes me about what I would want, who it would all include and just other things like that.. At least I know that I am not the only one thinking about it all.. Oh well.. I should hit the bathroom and meet him out front of the library cause he gets out of class in 2 minutes. Peace out (Homies! xD) <3

Library Once Again

...Except that this time I am out front waiting for it to open.. I have about ten minutes until that happens and I'm so looking forward to it because 1) it's warm in there. 2) it's comfortable in there. 3) it smells a lot better in there than out here by the trash cans. 4) I get to sit down in a comfortable chair rather than on a brick wall. 5) I get to type on an actual keyboard rather than on this little one that my phone has. 6) did I mention that I get to sit down, be warm and all cozy like..? Wow.. The chick that just came up the stairs to stand in front of the library with all the rest of us has a semi-mullet. Totally strange looking. Ok... I'm cold =/ let me in!! Plus, not to mention that I really really really REALLY want that back seat of the 4th floor. Haha.. That chick's voice is funny too. It sounds like Kristen's (from high school)... Which isn't the best thing in the world due to the fact that it's ridiculously annoying. Anyways. The doors are about to open. I'll write later =)

Yay for being in the Petaluma campus library =) it is seriously an amazingly awesome library.  And just like in one of my previous posts, my boyfriend in on the can.  I'm waiting for him, and then at noon, we are going to go to our yoga class (which I am very much so looking forward to cause it means that I get to relax, and not focus on school, but my breathing and body instead).  Random mental note to self: while wearing "blue me away!" nail polish, don't eat an orange cause the rind will most definitely stick to the polish on nails.  Anywho, I hope that he is having a successful bowel movement.. I notice that when most people do, they are in a better mood overall for the rest of the day.  Lets talk about Halloween, shall we?  So my boyfriend and I are thinking about being Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.  Oh he's back.. Peace out homies! I'll put pics up later

Avatar Adventures

So here I am, at the Avatar hotel in Santa Clara. I have spent the last three days here and have had quite an interesting time. I came here with my boyfriend directly after school got out Thursday night and we have stayed here, with no parental units what so ever and its most definitely a new experience staying in a hotel with no one who is older chaperoning both myself and my boyfriend. We are here on account of the fact that said boyfriend is going to something called "congress", and it's for gymnastics so he can get certified to teach and coach. I think it's pretty exciting for him to be going through all of this, but he said that it's just like attending school lectures. There's an instructor, and a class with students learning the material. For the past couple days we have woken up at around 7 in the morning, gone out to breakfast in the IHOP that is next door, eating lunch with each other and then swimming (as well as hot-tubbing) after he is done with his classes for the day. The hotel here is completely retro, to the point where it was almost hilarious when we walked in the lobby on Thursday night. It reminded me of an Austin Powers setting. And our room wasn't any less amusing. It has lime green and neon pink dresser drawers, as well as a silver-backed bed and a silver desk chair. I'll have to take some pictures for my one and only reader on this thing, so you can really see what I am talking about. It's a very interesting place. Comfortable, and hospitable too =) I like it here, and most definitely recommend it to anyone who stays down here. I have about 12 minutes left on this computer before I switch to the other (there's a limit of time (half an hour) that someone can spend on a single computer at a given time, so I've decided to blog for a bit). So there have been some wild bed adventures, as well as shower romance and some hot tub lovin', so over all, my time here with my love has been quite the experience for me. I seem to have even gotten closer to achieving my own personal "release", which I wish to have sometime soon because I heard it's fantasmic. While he's gone at congress, I have been doing homework for the majority of the time, as well as sleeping. I've gotten quite a lot of sleep these past few days. Primarily because of my geology book.. it seems to have bewitching powers that put me to sleep every 5 or 10 pages. It's really unnerving because I find what I am reading interesting, yet I fall asleep? I'm one confused person. Anywho, I have about three minutes left on the timer, so I'll put up the pictures that I found on the web of this straight up retro hotel.

This is what I meant by the strange lobby



The bedroom

Ohhhh Man...

Woah, my second day of classes is over.  And it was quite a successful day at that =) I went to all of my classes, met all of my teachers and spent practically the whole time with my love. Can you say awesome? I sure as heck can. But he is currently in the loo, so that'll be 20 minutes off the chart for today.. So I decided to do another post.. oh, he is done. That was quick haha.. I'll finish later =) Peace out for now peeps! .. Or peep, cause it's just one person reading this ....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm just in a blue mood today.. Not literally feeling sad or depressed,  but I feel like the color blue, ya know? Maybe not, but it's whatever =) so, as I was saying before my boyfriend came out of the bathroom, today was quite productive and I went to all of my classes.  I had anthropology, which was taught by a woman who frankly acted slightly mentally retarded.. like, she thought that she was funny, her facial expressions were strange at some times, her laugh was very weird and her overall behavior was really odd. After we were done with that class, we headed to the bookstore, only to find that there were no more used books when it came to our required text for anthropology. Phail school... so my boyfriend and I split the cost and bought one book each. Well, time to go =)  Peace love and all that jazzz

A New Year Has Begun

So bestest friend in the whole wide world, this post, the color I am writing in and even the font type are all for you, because not only did you request a new post, but you are just that rad =) Basically this whole post is dedicated to you because I have apparently been seriously slacking on my postage of ... posts. Anywho, it's my second day back at school, my boyfriend is in class, which started at 7:30 this morning. I had to get up at 5:30 this morning in order to make the necessary trip down to the JC so he could make it to class. The only reason that I am not complaining whatsoever about having to wake up so early is because of the fact that it made it so showering with my wonderful man was possible and so that was a great way to start my morning =) speaking of that fabulous person, I need to get outta here at around 35-40 after the hour so I can go meet him and so we can walk to our anthropology class. So here is how my first day back at school went... I was nervous as all heck, stressed, mainly due to the fact that I was taking a science class with a lab, also referred to as "rocks for jocks" according to my awesome instructor, but it's mainly known as geology.  But I found out that the class and it's students aren't so intimidating or scary =)  So my nerves eased up some after I got out of my geology class because of how absolutely chill, and quite frankly, very modern, my teacher is. I hung out with said bestest friend in the whole wide world (mentioned in first sentence) during my time between classes and then we both headed off to choir, where we did the usual introductions and what was expected and yadda yadda etc etc. All fun and games, I promise you, choir with Jody B. as an instructor is great. Plus this semester we are focusing on Italian pieces. Last semester it was French, and next semester I believe it will either be English or German.. I think it's English, but I'm not exactly sure about that. I'll have to ask at some point.  So then after choir, my boyfriend and I drove said bestest friend to her next class, and then jetted off to a few stores such as Target and Office Depot where we picked up a couple supplies for school. I got a new planner which is totally cute and works wonderfully, we picked up pens, pencils, some paper, notebooks etc. By then we were both completely worn to the bone because of walking around so much, stress, and for him, it's cause he worked out some on the JC's track.  But by Jove, as another good friend of mine would say, my feet seriously hurt after walking around so freaking much that day. My boyfriend and I practically fell into the car and drove home completely exhausted. Then in a similar fashion, we fell into bed for about an hour when we got home.  It felt so glorious you have no idea.  Today, I am going to be introduced to my anthropology class, then we (my boyfriend and I) are going to swing by the Petaluma campus to take our first yoga class, and a philosophy class that follows it. Personally, I'm pretty stoked about the yoga because it gives me a chance to both work out and also relax some between some major classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  After yoga, the philosophy class happens.  I'm enjoying the fact that it counts as my last English class that I have to take in order to complete my GED requirements for that department. And I don't need to read personal stories about random crap that I don't care about and "respond appropriately" as some English instructors have said. I have about 10 or 15 more minutes in this joint before I walk to meet him <3 so I think that I will spend the remainder of my time reading up on my geology extra credit homework that was assigned.  Peace, love and all that jazz =)

Oi-Vey

It's been a while since I've written much of anything, so these are the highlights of what's been happening as of late this past month.

• I Finished the semester on May 23, 2011 with all A's, B's and C's  =)
• I sang at the JC's graduation 
• I spent the first two weeks off of school and first two weeks of June mostly with my boyfriend (which was wonderful.  We went swimming a whole bunch, had epic cooking adventures and watched his little sister graduate from 8th grade)
• Went to a place called Teske's Germania a few times (I'll put part of the video of my cousin and I dancing at the bottom)
• I went to the doctors and asked about weight loss. I'm now on a high protein diet and avoiding carbohydrates and fat like they're the plague as well as drinking three times as much water as I normally do. 
• I decided to do at least 30 minutes minimum of exercise every day to hit my goal of losing 10 pounds a month so by my birthday I'll be 40 pounds closer to normal again.
• My little brother turned 15 years old on June 24th
• I went back to the doctors, but this time for allergy testing. Apparently I'm not allergic to anything? Yet I have massive attacks of some sort that make me sneeze and miserable for days at a time. I'm a curious case. 
• My bestest friend in the whole wide world came home from Sweden yesterday and I got to greet her which was great

... and now it's today. Within the next few weeks I will be visiting with family that I don't see very often, I'm hoping on a plane to Pennsylvania where I'll straight up party and dance my butt off for three days straight, and then I am going to hit DC for a week to sight see as a little vacation with my immediate family.  It's all going to be a blast and I'm totally stoked =)

..here is a little clip of what I did at Teske's last weekend..

No Idea

So despite my wanting to lose weight, I've given in to my growling stomach and I plan on going to the downstairs coffee shop and getting a pastry for breakfast (since I didn't have time to eat at home before I got on the bus to school). So I shall be back in a few moments. Win. I got a scone. Mmm... butter pecan. So fattening, but so good. That was delicious. I want more, but I'm satiated for now, plus, I have a bagel with cream cheese, turkey and mustard for later, so I'll just use that to fuel me until after choir rehearsal. But goodness gracious, that was so tasty. Now for a topic change due to the fact that choir was brought up. Tonight is the final concert for concert and chamber choir, and I'm both excited and not so stoked about it. I love the choir, don't get me wrong, but I really don't want to be there until 10:30 at night. That is the sucky part. And it's not like home is around the corner like how it was during high school. It's a 45 minute drive and if it weren't for my dad coming to pick me up when he's done working with my brother on another physics olympics project for his science class, I'd have to drive my own butt home. In the dark. Alone. I've not even driven an hours worth of time alone yet, and I've had my licence since February. Sad right? Yeah I know. So anyways, for tonight's concert, we are singing the majority of what videos I posted a couple weeks ago, and a couple other songs that I couldn't find online for my one reader's enjoyment. Oh bother.. only an hour left until rehearsal.. I shall talk about yesterday.. it started out sleep deprived cause my internal alarm clock went off about every 25 minutes or so (which sucked hardcore) and I had really strange dreams. So I was tired and PMSing. Spells out imminent destruction right? Anyways, so I got to school and greeted the boyfriend. We started walking to the Community Market down the street when a good friend of mine called my name. Turns out she brought me a piece of decadent chocolate cake with ganache all up inside and around it. (yummmmm).. the problem was that the boyfriend unit decided it would be appropriate to make a weed jibe and told me to watch out cause the cake might be "special". That really pissed me off and ruined the majority of the day for both of us. With the PMS and sleep deprivation on top of that my day just went straight to hell when he said that. It was not fun. I almost broke down in my Philosophy class.. but everything turned out alright with that situation, but then, last night we left one another on sour-ish terms. It's too difficult to explain, but it really was not enjoyable. And now only a half hour is left which means that I need to get going in about 20 minutes cause it takes 10 just to walk there. I might as well just post this and putz around for the remaining time. *sigh* alrighy..

Peace love and all that jazz

The Waiting Game

Dark red is the color for today as I await patiently for my desired spot in the library.  Yet no one is seeming to move from a fricking computer! DX Phail people of the library on the fourth floor near the elevators! I might as well eat a pop tart in the mean time cause there's nothing really better to do except feed myself and wait semi-patiently. Cause, I mean, that's all I really can do at this point. But I would really much rather SOMEONE MOVE so I can sit down and finish this post in a more comfortable setting. Wow dude, you already look semi-retarded (I'm being serious here.. this isn't sarcasm talking), you should pull up your pants so you don't drag more attention to your pitiful looking face. Man, so many people want computers back here it's not even funny.  And the sad thing is that at least a third of the people back here are playing plants vs. zombies or farmville.. depressing. At least I'd be doing something constructive right? Informing the people of the world of what it is I'm thinking, doing and what I did over the weekend. Uncool man, someone needs to move so I can sit down and write this, not to mention the English essay thingamabob that's due tomorrow afternoon. Awe, I thought I had a spot. Meanie.. tricked me. OH OH OH! I have one! Sweet deal ^_^ Oh, and I also saw Mr. Hard Click back here. He's one row behind me on facebook at the moment and I can hear him typing and clicking from here. The sad thing is that he's a good 15 feet behind me. Yay for pop tarts being breakfast -_- .. it's kinda depressing cause it's the only thing I could really grab due to the fact that I was already late this morning. Alrighty.. time to catch up the single reader on what happened this weekend. (Wow, I didn't realize how hungry I was =/ and ew, pop tarts are sickly sweet). So on Friday, I woke up early, went on a 15 mile bike ride with the father unit, went out to breakfast and practically did nothing  when I got home except shower and do the tiniest bit of homework for the rest of the day. It felt glorious. Especially after the nasty 15 page paper I had to write last week and all the stress that followed. So Friday was my off day. Saturday, I went on a 30 mile ride with my dad, little bro, uncle and cousin. We rode out to a winery and back which was absolutely lovely (minus the pain and occasional gust of wind). Then at home, I didn't really do all that much except a little more homework and read some. On Sunday, I was quite the busy bee. I practically woke up and cleaned half the house. It was my mom's 45th birthday and so I was prepping for it all day long.. cleaning, making food (not to mention a cake that fell apart but it was put back together by my parents cause I felt like crying and starting all over.. which did not help the fact that afterwards the shower head broke and fell on my foot in the shower, and the lemon I was trying to work with split in half and all the juice went everywhere.. ya know. just a bunch of bad things happening and just added to the list). I was majorly PMSing yesterday and so that wasn't fun. It just added to my already irritated state of mind. Owie, acne hurts. A lot. I wish there was something that I could do to make it go away other than what I already do (washing my face daily and using 10% benzoil peroxide acne cream once every other day), cause this stuff seriously is a pain in the .. face. x|  Ohhh joy.. I have two more hours to kill here. Maybe I should finish that blasted English thingamabob and come back to this when it's done. I know I should, but I really don't want to.. Bleh.. FML. Fine. I will. *humph* >.> Well, I finished. It only took me a half hour or so.. I could have easily done it over the weekend on Friday or something, but I just did not feel like it. At least I got it out of the way and didn't have to write it late tonight when I will most likely be ridiculously tired.  Oh I so love the last computer space back here. No one can see my screen, and hardly anyone ever comes back here in the first place. I likey I likey =)  So yesterday was my mom's birthday, as well as my cousin's 18th.  I hope that she had fun and had a great day... But today.. today is my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend's birthday.. I wonder if he's said any birthday wishes to her yet.  I'm torn in half by what I hope he does. I would hope that he does out of common courtesy, but she told him to leave her alone and so I don't know if he will or not. She apparently loathes me.. I don't exactly like her much either, but at least I don't hate her.. I mean, I stole her boyfriend, but she did some absolutely nasty things while they were dating.. I don't know. I just hope she doesn't hate me for much longer (even though I picture her as the devil). Anywho, it's time to leave for choir. I'm kinda wanting to go, kinda just not. I just feel like not doing anything today cause of the fact that I'm exhausted from yesterday and such.. as well as because of the lack of proper sleeping. Blehh.. ok, well I'm gonna give up the perfect seat on the fourth floor, bounce outta this library, face the oh-so-lovely mulch smell outside and get to choir.

Peace, love and all that jazz

Here We Are Again

Well well well... I just happen to be sitting in the same spot as yesterday and Mr. Hard Click is next to me once more.  But this time he brought a friend xD .. an old Asian lady.  But I brought something for myself too: chocolate chip peanutbutter coconut almond oatmeal cookies that I made last night. I just had one and they aren't half bad for my first time ever making cookies from scratch. Though, I wish I'd pulled them out of the oven a few minutes beforehand so they'd be a bit chewier. Oh well. Live and Learn right? Gah!!!! That was the title for that bee-atch of a paper I was talking about yesterday. I don't wanna be reminded of what it "means to be educated" .. excuse me while I go puke up that cookie. Well, I gotta go cause my love is almost to the school and I want to greet him by the parking garage.

Peace out!
-Halo

Suhhhh-leepy

Man I'm tired.. I can hardly stay awake. This kinda sucks due to the fact that I have 2.5 hours to kill before choir. and I would really like to stay conscious in the meantime.. bathroom break time.. back.. wow. The dude (more like old man) next to me really doesn't know how to properly click a mouse. It's actually kind of hilarious cause he's doing it a million times harder than he needs to.. and it's funny seeing him in my peripherals cause his whole body jerks each time he clicks it.  Quite entertaining to watch..  I can tell that he is totally fed up with whatever it is he is trying to do.. I know it's horrible of me, but I find it really funny to hear his random grunts and sighs of annoyance as he gets closer and closer to breaking the computer's mouse. And now the guy behind me is brushing his already brushed hair.. this world is full of strange people. But who am I to talk.. I can see auras and have visions. Frick.. I can't even think straight. The weekend.. I'll talk about the weekend. Friday was amazing cause I got to sleep in some, and then worked on that B!TCH of a paper that was due yesterday for my English class. That sucker was 15 full pages. On saturday, I went to San Francisco for the last two games of the Giants' series against the Rockies. We swept them! Totally exciting games. I even painted my nails neon orange with a black stripe down the middle. [I'll get up a pic of them soon].. haha.. the guy sitting next to me.. the old man, he can only type with his index fingers. And guess what.. he is doing it ten times harder than necessary! xD  So the Giants games happened (gift to my mom for mother's day and her birthday which is this weekend), and then on Monday my boyfriend came down to see the required concert that happened for our Jazz Appreciation class.. we wandered all over the JC campus to find out that Newman Auditorium was in Emeritus hall... so pissed about that one. (Dude.. the harder you click and type doesn't make anything go faster.. they never learn).  So my boyfriend and I went to see the Jazz Combos play with a special guest artist and then drove literally about a minute down the street from the JCand we were pulled over.  Apparently the cop didn't deem our headlights "up to par" with what's required, and gave us a fix-it ticket. A$$ hole. Got home eventually, and then worked on our papers until about 2:30 AM. I went to bed cause I was practically done with mine and couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.  Then I woke up around 6:30 to violent laughter in the dining room. I was slightly ticked off that my parents didn't even bother trying to be somewhat quiet so I could get a decent amount of hours in. Anywho, woke up.. made breakfast for my boyfriend and I, which was a bacon and egg sandwich (delicious), took a shower and had a little fun afterwards. Lets just say we missed our Jazz Appreciation class.. but it was well worth it. I was seriously deprived. So then we went to school (no, we didn't get pulled over), finished our essays (got mine done in plenty of time, but his just barely made it), and then parted ways when he had to go to his math class. I got home, ate the most fabulous fried chicken ever (courtesy of my mother) wtih mashed potatoes and broccoli. So amazingly delicious. Then, just to see how they'd react, my cousin and I put a piece of tape on the bottom of both my cat's paws and they FLIPPED OUT like no other and it was hillarious. No harm done though. Ugh.. another hour left until I have my 75 minute class and then have to kill two more hours of time before I get to go home. Phail bus for not having anything between noon and three. P.H.A.I.L.  Wow.. now the old man next to me is trying to text?! I think the world is gonna end.. Mmmmm... Burt's Bees is amazing. ^_^ it's time to just putz around on the computer until I need to go to class.

PEACE, LOVE AND ALL THAT JAZZZ

Hurts So Good

oh the pain.. it's not all that pleasant, but its kind of a nice reminder that I did a 50 mile bike ride yesterday. I went up to Chico with my dad, brother, uncle and his two kids and rode in the Wildflower.  It was a lot of fun, and there were lots of laughs. It was most definitely an adventure for all of us who attended.. but holy goodness I'm beat. If someone gave me a pillow and a blanket, I could fall asleep in the middle of an intersection in NYC.  I am so incredibly sore.. not to mention I have a gnarly sunburn on both of my legs (left one is worse), and both of my arms.  But honestly, I think my arms look awful. My jersey was a short sleeve and so it's horribly obvious that (ow ow ow.. mental note: don't move. It hurts) I was wearing a t-shirt.. and shorts. It is very obvious that I was wearing shorts. (Another mental note: remember "2002". Awesome, lovely group with beautiful music). Back-tracking a bit, the people going on the ride and I left Saturday afternoon to drive to Chico, where we spent that night in a hotel near the fairgrounds where the event was being held. (oh no, just coughed up blood.. not a good sign I'm guessing.. oh well). We ordered and destroyed two pizzas, a salad, and two orders of bread sticks. Then we proceeded to attempt to watch Inception but the TV in the room sucked and wouldn't work with the DVD player so we got a refund and decided to watch the last half of Batman Begins instead. Then we all crashed hardcore and woke up at 6 on the nose to take showers and what not to get ready for the ride. We got there, started at around 9 in the morning. My brother and cousin split from the group (my brother was swayed by my cousin to do the 65 mile "mildflower" with her which consisted of climbing a mountain.. I will be physically fit enough to do it next year!) and the rest of us (including my little 10 year old cousin) went ahead as planned and did the flat 60 mile ride.. but we cheated some and took a bit of a short cut and so we really did 50 miles. Still whooped my butt and I don't think  I could have gone the other way and pulled 20 more miles out of it.  My rear felt like it had molded to the seat, but not in a good way.. it hurt like a mother trucker.  A few other complications that occurred were that we stopped for a half hour to help a guy named Gus fix a flat tire.  It took a half hour because we had to change it three times before we found a tire amongst us that would hold air.  Can you guess who's spare was used? Yep, you got it.. MINE! I'm kinda pissed that I lost a tube, but also glad to help out some. So we rode on, stopped a few more times, once to take off my socks because my shoes hurt me so much (I need new ones so bad that it's not even close to humorous), and just to rest our butts.  Then we got to our lunch break which was a little over half way done and had a fabulous turkey sandwich.  Mind you, it was only delicious because I hadn't had anything to eat in hours and I needed fuel fast or I was going to crash.  We all laid in the shade next to a river for about 10 minutes, letting the food and electrolyte water digest some and then got back in the saddle. Oh boy did that hurt like no other. We eventually made it to the next rest stop where we hung out and recuperated as well as met up with my cousin and brother and had some laughs in the shade of a tree.  We split up again, but differently. My uncle went with my cousin (the older/girl) while my brother came with my father, my little cousin and I on the shorter way back.  We relaxed some at the fairgrounds where we started out that morning and had a few drinks to replenish ourselves. Then we left for home, stopping twice on the way: once for dinner (BOMB Mexican food!), and another time so dad could go to the bathroom. I don't remember the majority of the rest of the ride home cause I kept dozing off.  When I got home I was so happy that we'd made it. But getting out of the car and moving around hurt like a trucker. I took three Advil and put ointment on my burns, called my boyfriend to tell him about my day and to say goodnight, and then passed the heck out. I woke up this morning to take a shower.. holy goodness does that hurt when you've got awful sunburns everywhere. I had to take a cold shower just so it wouldn't hurt as much which sucked.. anyways, I gotta split. Time for class.

Here's a picture of what my thighs look like..

Now imagine the rest of my legs looking like that, and my arms all splotchy from the middle of my upper arm all the way down to my wrists due to the fact that I failed to apply sunscreen well enough and now I look diseased. -_-,  sad day.  Anyways, peace, love and all that jazz. Choir time. I'm not looking forward to walking down stairs, standing, sitting.. moving in general. Ouch. =/
