YEP FOLKS...IT'S COME TO THIS..because i've been going out alot this wholllllllllllllllleee summer, my parents finally put their foot down: i'm stuck at home for the rest of the week.
it sucked cause when i woke up about an hour ago, justine called to see if i wanted to go stereo shopping with her. BOOO!!!!!
other than that, in a way, i don't really mind being home. there was nothing planned for this week, it'll give me more time to spend with my parents (in particular, my dad), and i'll finally get to do the things i've been meaning to do this summer (organize/clean things in my room).
yesterday, me and jd went to great america. it was fun...but HOT. it was basically a "chill" day for us. went on few rides (surprisingly, none of them were TOP GUN..the best ride in the park). played arcade games...watched the SPONGE BOB 3d shows(which was scarier than i thought)...took pictures of JD with characters...and finally got my caramel apple =].
i'm OFFICIALLY BROKE! DAMN FOOD/GAS/RETAINERS/TUITION/FEE INCREASE/FOOD. arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

the OGS took pictures. they turned out gooood!
bj had his going away BBQ on thursday. funn. i missed out on the korean bbq though. =\ marco felt bad, so he hooked me up with a double cheeseburger. =] fun times on the jungle of rope thingie. william killed me on the cargo net...everyone was laughing...i was tooo...but boyyyyyyyy it hurttttt!!!!!!!
after that, we all chilled at jennelle's house since she was going that following morning for san diego. jennelle left on early friday morning. some stayed to watch her leave in the morn, but i left early. said our goodbyes...and did our little QUIRKY jokes for ol' time sakes. i'll miss herrrrrrrrr. i would write something for jennelle right now, but that's already taken care of.

BOY WAS I WRONG!i thought that i'd be spending this week at home, with not much to do. total opposite.
my whole summer, i've basically been out. either it was school, cotillion practice, or just outings. i thought it would come to a lull considering the fact that jennelle's cotillion is over, but no..it's not.
my parents are pisssssssssed off. they're fed up with me going out..but most of the time it's because i'm required to go (cotillion practice, meetings). argh..i wish there wasn't this tension in the household.
- went to haight street in frisko today. most of us went.
- dope clothes, but i just payed for tuition and still have to pay for my lost retainers...so me no buy anything. there were sooooo many cute stuff. AHHH..it hurts.
- TONS of pics to upload. i THOUGHt i would be able to do it this week. SORRY!! next weeK!!! i know i promised, but i thought i'd be spending the week at home.
- wednesday us girls had our last dinner with ate liz in her apartment (she's moving out). it was also a "farewell dinner" for jennelle. STUFFED MUSHROOMS AGAIN!! and fettucine with a mushroom garlic cream with white wine. YUMMMMY!
- BATTLEFEST NEW SCHOOLS on saturday. come and SUPPORT!!
- i need to stay home more often. i don't hate staying home...i actually like it. it's just that there are MANY times that i just want to be with my friends.
bye bye
oh yeah. i cut my hair. the last time i've had it this short was in elementary school. i kinda like it. the person who cut my hair would not thin it out more because she claimed she took a lot already (she took it off at the bottom, not in the middle)..so i'm going to get it fixed sometime. ok. i'm done.
BATTLFEST NEW SCHOOLS! goo!

JENNELLE'S COTILLIONhad mucho fun at jennelle's cotillion. the dances were great...and had the best of time. the place was hugeeee...and the flower arrangements made the place sooo pretty.
i'm truly going to miss practices...and everyone being together in 1 place. jennelle's leaving next week. =
i had SOOO much fun after the cotillion...and i'm sure everyone else did. made new friends...bonded with people...guitar/singing...getting things straight...drinks...HELLA laughs...crystal...gino...oh mann...it was great. i'll straight up say it...i love being buzzed. i'm the person i want to be: more open to others and comfortable with strangers. i could hella talk to people i could not talk to. hopefully i'll get to the point where i could do that without the alcohol.
but there was only one thing that brings me down about that night-- i LOST MY RETAINERS. =\ i lost it after 12am..probably between the time we went to LEE noodle house to the time at the hotel. i'm SOOO SCARED TO tell my mom. she's going to get soooooooooo mad at me. $150 . =
donations welcomed.

FUCK THIS SHITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! [edited]my registration date for deanza is august 12, and 5am. i asked jd to wake me up..and my mom & dad. i try to go onto the deazna website (around 4:50ish)..and it's not working.
5am. by this time, i'd be logged in and already adding my classes..but NOOOOO...the system is down. i tried doing the phone system..i'd either get a BUSY tone, never get past the "ssn and pin" part..or the phone call would be timed out.
my friend jr, who just so happens to have the same registration time as me, is having the same problem. he's also talking to friends that can't get through as well.
ok..i've been trying at this thing for an hour. i don't know whether to wait this out, or to just go to sleep...freaking deanza..i swearrrrr
[EDIT] good news - I stayed online since then, tried logging in every now and then...and it finally works! jr told me, and i went straight to the login area...typed some numbers..and got ALL the classes i wanted. weeeee!!
sad news - me no go back to sleep. my mom has an appointment in an hour or 2 and she asked me to go with her because we're going to valley fair after. weee. hopefully i can get sleep in before yabs' graduation tonight.

ARGHHHHHHHHH! [edited]this afternoon, i realized there were certain things i needed to mention in my blog. whoops!
incubus concert was greatttttt. i had fun. i sat next to rachel..and had soo much fun. we were hellla feeeling the music, and sang to all the songs we knew. i "tried" to lose our voices, but it didn't work. =\ she wrote about our time at the concert. read it here. she talks about me. WEEE!! the feeling i had while they played....OOOO mannnn..TINGLES! hahah. they played a bunch of their old songs...and didn't play some songs i wanted them to. but yeah..the night ended on somewhat of a bad note, but i'm glad everything got resolved.
i have my random times when i hecka think about certain things. i was going to write about something, but i can't seem to find the right words to express how i feel. i know i'll end up writing abou this another time because this issue pisses me off and makes me sad. people piss me off.

BUSY BUSY WEEKthe week started off with my grand-neice's baptism yesterday. instead of going to the church, we went to the hall to help set up. they played lots of freestyle and cha cha songs. no one was dancing, but i really had that urge to cha cha. i bugged JD, and he finally gave in. had fun dancing for a bit. then all the other aunties started dancing. my mom and her sister were cha-cha-ing too. haha..well..my mom was "trying" to cha cha. so cute.
the incubus concert is at 8pm tonight. wooohoo! we're all meeting at stine/rach's house at 6pm, and i still haven't taken a shower yet. i got myself psyched up for the concert yesterday and today by playing my incubus cds. wooooooo.

INSERT SUBJECTjuly 29th. 2 years. great day with a great guy. i'm glad we kicked it together.
INCUBUS concert in exactly 1 WEEK!! i'm soooo freakin excited. last incubus concert with justine and rachel was filled with FUNNY/DOPE/CRAZY memories. i'll never forget it, and it's by far my favorite concert so far. who could ask for more....HOOBASTANK and INCUBUS in the same arena. when the swaying of the crowd almost brought us down....when clouds of smoke from everyone geting high...that HOOBASTANK song where we almost lost our lives. although we weren't laughing at the time, and were scared SHITLESS, look at us now....one of our fondest memories. =] almost all of us are going to the concert: me, justine, yabs, rachel, stanks, jeff, jd, and jovver (or bj?) woooooooooohooooooooo!
yab's graduation next thursday.
jennelle's cotillion next saturday.
