I MISS MY BOYFRIEND this past week, disregarding yesterday and today, i didn't spend time with my boyfriend. i miss him. i'm grateful for all the time we talk and everything, but we're so busy (him moreso than me). the times we do see each other is when we all hang out. there's nothing against everyone, but i also miss the times we just spend time with just us two. the times that i did see him was just a brief moment.

so i was grateful for today. i love the time i get to spend with him. he's awesome..and so weird.

hahaha. it's a leap year. that means we have a "month" anniversary this february. meaning that most of the time, we won't have a "february" anniversary. not a big deal at all..just a bit funny if your wedding aniversary/birthday was on february 29.

NOTE: i've decided to give up meat, fastfood, and soda.

but i still love how good fast food taste. *sigh*

WHOOPDEEDOO =\ i got a midterm tomorrow. yeah yeah, a little late for a midterm, but for our sake, she pushed it back. it's for my ewrt class..and of course, it's an in-class essay.

blah. she's letting us bring in a typed outline to help us out. i'm too lazy to do it. yeah, i know, it'll help me out...but i'm too lazy to think. that means i've been lying in bed since i got home from taking my dad to the doc.

that darn BLASTED class. it's OK, and i'm not really complaining about much...just that i'm not a good writer..and i'm surrounded by people who are. my grade is slipping, but i'm not tripping that much. i'm just one of those people who don't write well.

TALK ABOUT ADDICTED! pyramids is my new obsession. on it, you can click on other people's names in the same room to see their stats.

in the past week, i've seen people that have played thousands of games...and was SHOCKED at how many games 1 person can play. at 1 point, i saw someone with 8000.

right now, i'm at 447, which is a lot.

a while ago, i was looking at people's info to see if i could find anyone that played more than 8000 games..and i found one..

25,000!!!! i can't remember the exact number, since she just left the room. OH MY GOSH..i can't even fathom that huge number.

i mean, i thought I played a lot. i guess not.

i'm still amazed...wonder if anyone can beat that number

THE FUCKEN CONCERT the LINKIN PARK CONCERT, which was yesterday...FUCKENNNNNN ROCKED!!!!!!!!! i'll hit all the major points..

before the concert, me and rachel played "basketball". we got wrappers(and other scraps of paper), made it into little tiny balls, and tried shooting it in the cup holders in the rows below us. it was SOOO MUCH FUN. haha...well, I had fun, since i'm a dork. jovver and jd played a little with us.

story of the year was cool, considering the fact i only knew 1 of their songs..

hoobastank, of course, was great. 2nd time seeing them perform. they rock.

pod, on the other hand, were OK. personally, i'm not into them, so i didn't enjoy that part of the concert.

LINKIN PARK rocked. it was my first time seeing them in concert, since we didn't get to go to last year's concert. THEY WERE FUCKEN GREAT. words can't express how i felt. the vibe of the concert was great. everyone was singing along to the songs and hella feeling it. I'M NOT MISSING NEXT YEAR'S CONCERT FOR SHIT!

our seats weren't floor, and i'm not complaining. me, justine, and rach had a BAD experience at the incubus concert when we had floor seats, so we're staying away from that. our seats were pretty good considering we got them hecka late. we were pretty close to the stage...which was awesome.

this concert was jennelle's, jeff's, and abby's first.

after, we all headed to DENNYS and ate. yes yes, i told myself to go home after the concert, but i was HECKA hungry, and didn't want to go home right then.

got home around 1ish. did my homework, studied a bit, then went to sleep around 2ish. surprisingly, i didn't take me much time to wake up at 7am.

NOTE: when i heard linkin park's FAINT on the radio, i got chills in my arms just thinking of their performance. they got some guy from the crowd to play guitar. 2 guys sucked..but the 3rd was cool. I ENVY HIM!

excuse my cussing. i rarely cuss in blogs unless i'm really passionate about something.

MY V DAY in the afternoon, i went to get jd. exchanged our little gifts..i got him moisterizer and M&MS..and he got me my cookies and combos.

went to the theaters and watched 50 FIRST DATES. we RARELY buy food at the theaters, but HEY, it was a "special occasion", so we both got hotdogs. i gave jd money to get me an icee, and he came back with an icee and nachos! he cound't resist. we both loved that movie..and i got to admit, i shed a tear at the end. nice story line..very cute..very funny..

after, we headed downtown to OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY. of course, there were hecka people, and i told him, "hey...we're eating here no mater what!".. they told us the wait was going to be 1 hour and 30 mins..we waited.

we walked downtown..it was a nice day...stoped by and got some starbucks..went back and sat at benches outside of the restaurant and just talked. we saw lots of his random friends from school..and FINALLY, an hour later, we black indicator rang and we got our table.

once again, service was fast...primarily cause there were lots of people waiting. we barely ate half of our food..but couldn't resist the complementary icecream. at the spaghetti facotory, they have this icecream flavor called "spimeli" or something like that...it's AWESOME! but we've never seen it anywhere else. =
the night was great. we ended the night at his house and watched OCEANS ELEVEN.

WOW, I'M 18. at times, i realize, "hey, i'm 18". it feels like i've been living life foreverrrrrrr, yet, i'm still in my prime. i'm so facinated at the thought of living for 18 years.

on the other hand, i still feel like a little kid. When i was young, i looked up to the "older teens" and imagined how life would be to be one of them. i can't help but wonder if little kids look up to me like that.

my childhood, for the most part, was great. waiting outside for the icecream man with my neighborhood friends (justine, fouzhan, michelle)...to this day, the icecream man still remembers me, saying, "wow, you grow up"...

playing outside, riding my bike on the sidewalk, rollerblading, playing badminton, 4 square...the list goes on. i miss those days...going outside, carefree...getting dark..

i'm in college. i still feel like i'm in highschool, the only thing is that the school is bigger and adults attend it. the next thing: graduating college. OFFICIALLY being free of school.

time's going by fast..the next thing i know, i'll be starting a family and career.

life's crazy. i wonder where i'll be in 10 years. married? children? career? dead?

i have SOO MANY memories...great, sad, happy, depressing....you name it, i got it..this isn't even the end of it. i've got 60+ years worth more of memories..hopefully

thinking about life, and all it's aspects is tripping me out.

EHHHH i checked my grades from my 2 midterms i took on thursday. i did pretty good on them. yay.

i've noticed: i'll avoid writing essays as much as possible. when it comes to my other homework assignments/readings, i'm, for the most part, on top of that. i'll find time to read, study, do homework.

on the other hand...ESSAYS. i'll procrastinate that as much as i can. right now, i have a rough draft due tomorrow. it's almost 11:30 pm and i'm STILL not working on it yet. i really DISLIKE ESSAYS. i'm not a writer...i'm a math person.

i love numbers and math. always have. writing...well ESSAY writing....BOOOOOOO!!!!!


11:27 PM . 



INCUBUS right now, INCUBUS (well..brandon, mike and jose) is taking over CHANNEL 104.9, my favorite radio station. they're playing whatever they want..including their songs and some favorites. most likely they're gonna be playing songs from their new album.

their album comes out tomorrow. FINALLLLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!!! oooooooHHHHHH yEAhhhhhhAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhh.

jd bought me a DVD player today. heheheeeeeee. he also bought me a 6 dollar burger from carl's jr. see..i've only eaten there probably once in my life.


7:42 PM . 



A NEW ADDICTION. i saw rachel playing PYRAMIDS (yahoo game). now, i'm addicted.

i bugged jd about sending me pics from his digital camera. last night, he finally sent it. a few hours ago, i checked my email and the pics were HUGEEEEEE. i got soo mad because he was saying, "sooooo...i wanted it in the highest resolution"...and i was saying, "well you know i don't want huge pics and my comp can't handle it"...

so we had that little arguement. i deleted the emails cause it took FOREVERRRRRRR to load. he just said he'll print them out at work.

a few minutes later, he called me and told me to check my mail. "I LOVE YOU"...i thought to myself, "aww..a little letter from him"...

i opened it up...and he resized the pictures for me.

oh golly...my boyfriend is so sweet.
