A little late but...

What I am thankful for:

A job: My well paying job that includes co-workers I like and low stress.

School: Even though I think university is an abusive relationship I can't seem to leave, I am thankful for my education and insight. I am thankful that I don't pay a dime for school because my dad believes in me and my education. I am thankful I have a better chance to succeed. I am thankful for my peers and how my sixteen week relationship with them are simple.

My family: Providing for me. supporting me. and spending time with me.

My love, my Andrew: How he has influenced my life and decisions is beyond my understanding and imagination. I loved him when I shouldn't have and hoped to have him in my life again when there wasn't a chance. Seeing him and talking with him and feeling his touch is what creates the majority of my happiness. I feel blessed to have found love in someone who appreciates me and supports me and for whom I do the same. I am thankful to have him in my life as my best friend and my boyfriend.

My nephew: Have you seen this kid? He is too adorable for words.

Coffee: It gets me through my half hour commute and my nights waiting for Andrew to get off of work.

Knitting and Sewing: My true relaxation.

Hopes of travel: Visiting Erin falls into this hope and plan.

Disneyland Passes: Our small get-a-ways to Disneyland are magical and fun.

Mad Men: (/black friday sales) I bought seasons 1 and 2 for $15 each.

Ashley, Ian, and Orion: The small family I have adopted as part of my family. Ashley and Ian are the couple we hang out and drink with. We simply enjoy one another's company, which is nice when it seems like most everyone wants to go out and spend money. And Orion is basically like my second nephew.

and finally...

Grilled Cheese Sammiches: Which seems to be mostly what I eat these days.




I wish you all a wonderful holiday season that I hope is filled with company and warmth, sweet smells and deliciousness, relaxation and fun.

back at home.

I officially move back home tomorrow and I will be happy once I am settled in and have my routine down. It will be so nice to be closer to my family and to Andrew again. I am also happy to be home before the holidays. There is so much to do and keep up with that I think I have been driving Andrew a little nuts, but he is wonderful and is always there for me. I'm glad to be down in Chula Vista again closer to my support system.

wants vs. needs.

i miss my boyfriend. i would like to see him more than just twice or three times a week.

My Apartment.

one day. four days. four shifts. six days.

Karin and I sign our lease tomorrow. I am working an opening shift tomorrow, so I'll be off at 8:45am. I still have a few more boxes to pack to take with me to my apartment. I have a lot to do within the next week.

Tomorrow - 4:30am: Work (Starbucks)

I'm not sure what else is planned for the day, but I think i want to venture out to see fireworks.

Sunday - 6:45am: Work (Starbucks)
1:00pm: Officially moving.

Everything is coming together. lovely lovely. Much more in the weeks to come. I will post pictures of the new place!

Music.

I really want to compile an excellent music collection. Vinyls and CDs alike. I am not accepting suggestions for necessity and donations as well. :)

pet sitting.

Well, I am pet sitting for my Sister and Wesley this weekend in North Park. I really enjoy North Park and so far things have been going well. I came over to Chole and Wesley's around two yesterday and Andrew met me there. Andrew and I ran some errands and stopped by Trader Joes on the way back to the apartment to pick up things for dinner. I made whole wheat spaghetti pasta with purple asparagus and artichoke hearts. We had mini baguettes with it (which we decided are just bread sticks) and red wine. Everything was really good, although I wish i would have added some butter to the pasta and topped it with parmesan cheese.

Speaking of Andrew, things could not be going any better. We have both said that it feels like he have just finally made up from all those years ago. It is still amazing to me that we missed each other so much for years but it took until now to start again. It's amazing and so is he. Bliss.

Back to the pets...

Henry hasn't been feeling very well yesterday or today. I woke up at six a.m. this morning to the sound of him throwing up on his bed. When I took him on his morning walk, he definitely had issues. He seems to be feeling better now. Winston hasn't eaten since Nichole and Wesley left yesterday. I'm thinking he just doesn't feel comfortable with them gone. He has done this every time I watch over them. Both of the animals have been having staring contests with each other all evening. They both don't seem to enjoy it, so it baffles me why they continue to follow each other around.

Currently, a neighbor is blasting the Rolling Stones. Things are pretty quiet in the apartment and I getting bored. I can't decide what I want to do with all of this alone time. I went clothes shopping earlier thanks to the generosity of Gummy. I ended up getting a dress, skirt, tank top, earrings, and a belt...so far. I plan to go shopping again next week when the stores aren't so crowded and I can look better.



That is the skirt that I got. There is another skirt that I really liked but they didn't have my size. Hopefully, another store will have it.

I am becoming more bored by the minute. Off to find something to do I suppose.

*sigh*

so in love. smitten.

oh yes oh yes.

hello hope.

no longer false hope. real hope. real happy.

Hiding Kitteh.

the kitteh is missing. =(

i guess technically the kitteh is just hiding really really well. either way, he needs to be found.

Deutschland war schön. Coachella was life changing.

Visiting Sylvia and her family in Hamburg was such a lovely trip. We began our journey on Thursday March ninth, at nine a.m., in San Diego. Lay over in Boston. Lay over in London. In Hamburg by five p.m. on Friday the tenth. (sixteen hours of flying plus time change...why hello jet lag). We spent the first day (Saturday the eleventh) touring the city. Covered the majority of it by the end of the afternoon. On sunday, we went to the zoo!




You could hand feed the animals and some of the animals weren't even caged. It was fantasic. We then visited with Sylvia's family. Her mother is originally from India, so she prepared indian food for dinner. YUM! We talked about what each of us had been up to, along with sharing stories, and even talking politics. Also a lovely experience. Her and I were talking on the way back to our hotel and she was saying how comfortable things were and it had been seven years since we had last spoke. I am hoping she can come to the states soon to visit us again. And so, on monday we head to the airport at five a.m. to do our flights again. Hamburg > London > Boston > San Diego. Home by eight p.m. Work the next morning at 4:30 a.m. Hooray jet lag! =/

I was home Tuesday and Wednesday, then off to Indio on Thursday for...

COACHELLA!

I was very anxious about the trip and the company that I would be in. I had a panic attack the night before. Tina and Scotty were my support and I love them so for putting up with my over reaction of concern. The camping turned out to be wonderful. Anthony just ignored me (which was preferable anyways), Nick was polite and said hello, asked how I was doing and introduced his lovely girlfriend, and it took Andrew and I awhile to speak to each other and when we finally did it was very very much small talk (it was pleasant and awkward to talk to him again), and Ian wasn't an issue or weird. Coachella was amazing, as promised. The experience was life-outlook changing. I got to see most of the bands that I intended on seeing and I was exposed to a bunch of new music that I am eager to get into further.



Sir Paul McCartney was a musical experience that I will never forget. I got to see a Beatle! He was worth the money alone. The video I took of him singing hey jude isn't uploading, but hopefully I can figure it out soon.

As for Coachella miracles: I did not get even a hint of a sunburn and I didn't even come close to passing out! Not only am I thankful, I am getting much better at listening to my body and taking care of myself.

Only negative thing in the past two weeks: my side pain has returned and this time it refuses to leave even when I sit down. Time for a CT scan.


Happy happy me. Relaxed me. Going to try my best to keep this feeling.

Countdown...s.

Germany: one day.

Coachella: eight days.

Excuse my vocabulary...sucky was the best descriptive word I could come up with.

I have been having a pretty sucky year. (year meaning past twelve months, not 2009 specifically). I have spent the majority of it alone and I think what worries me most is I am too comfortable with it. I am comfortable with the idea of anticipation. I have always had a difficult time making a commitment, to anyone or anything really. I am a very organized and planned person, don't get me wrong...but when it comes to long term things I tend to panic and think that I will be stuck there forever. I am currently reading five books (all fantastically written and captivating) and yet I can't settle on just one. I find myself missing characters from books I've read in the past or craving a new character all together. (has anyone caught the metaphor?) I bore too easily, i suppose. Is that a character flaw? Is it simply a matter of strengthening my patience? I'm getting way off topic. The point of my entry is to explore my thoughts on what I really need.

“What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.” - Chuck Palahniuk.

Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors and this quote is quite possibly perfectly structured to express my needs. I never allow anyone to take care of me, I have this undying need to be completely independent and self reliant. But what if nurturing is all I need? What if I just need someone to tell me to just let go? I have felt like something big was going to happen since I was about seventeen. I've been just waiting ever since. I spent three years (17-19) completely tuned out to what was around me and missed everything that was right in front of my face the entire time. And I have spent the past two years trying to make up for all that was lost. Starting over isn't a real thing or even a real idea. I don't want to start over. I don't want to loose any of the memories I made or experiences I have absorbed. Horribly painful or blissfully perfect. I want to feed off of those memories and create something even my fast paced, too-creative-for-it's-own-good mind couldn't have imagined.


You can thank Eternal Sunshine For Spotless Mind for triggering this thought process. If you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend it.

sigh.

i need a hug.

uggggggh.

day six of my headache. i've taken medication twice (which is a huge deal for me) to help relieve the pain. i also requested an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow. i really just want to not have a headache anymore.

come pick me up. take me out. steal my records.

oh, ryan adams...how you capture my thoughts exactly.

my short-lived crush on my co-worker was just that, short-lived. my interest in him was triggered by what seemed like flirting on his part. i decided i wasn't turned off to the idea of liking him (which i know, sweet of me right?). however, i didn't want to make any effort. those feelings involved into "okay okay, i like him". unfortunately once i make up my mind about something, i have a really difficult time sitting back and not doing anything. so, i invited the boy co-worker (as he is referenced to by myself/friends in the know) to a couple of outings, which he seemed interested in...but wasn't available. now i have no idea if he was flirting, no idea if i like him, and no idea how to act. on top of all of this boy nonsense, karin and i came to the realization that i am always the one to initiate a relationship. i have never been pursued or even asked out on a date. i feel as though i am, in fact, a catch and deserve to be asked out. now...before i get ahead of myself...i suppose i do get hit on by insanely creepy guys. boy co-worker told me about the regular who has a crush on me. he is in his late twenties/early thirties, asked me my age because he thought i was seventeen, and is married. vomit. to sum up, i am getting tired of being the girl boys like being friends with while secretly having feelings for and always needing to do all of the work.

whew.

okay, moving on.

in much better news, i am going to hamburg next month with my parents. it will only be for a couple of days, but it's germany! i was on edge about it for a few days because technically i'm paying for my plane ticket when i'm living paycheck to paycheck, our trip is during a "no requests off" time at work, and i had already requested the following weekend off for coachella. i spoke to my manager today and all is square. i leave for germany on the ninth and return on the thirteenth. i can work the fourteenth through the sixteenth. then, i leave for indio, california on the sixteenth and return on the twentieth. i will be an extremely tired but happy girl by the end of april.

on the subject of spending money i don't have, i called charter (gag) yesterday to discuss working for them again (gag). they are planning on opening a site in...

wait for it...

wait for it...

SAN MARCOS!

seriously?! how perfect would that be. i could work open shifts at starbucks (fingers crossed i can transfer to one up there because i love my job), get off around nine or ten, work at charter from about ten until three, and then go to school in the evening. i wouldn't have a life again! it would be so amazingly awful and fantastic at the same time. my hopes are way too up. i really don't think i would have any other option though. starbucks pays terribly but i love working there so much i refuse to quit. charter pays wonderfully, but i hate working there. so if i can work both, it will balance right? RIGHT!

i'm so very delirious. i've been up for over twelve hours and have work in ten hours. do the math if you care. i'm painfully sun burnt on one leg (stop picking on me sun). and i'm off to have dinner with melissa and her family. i think mel and i are dating, i'm convinced of it actually.

this post got more and more delusional as i wrote on. enjoy and comment something equally as delusional.



i almost forgot...happy belated pi day. the following is what i made (completely from scratch) for the occasion:

strawberry rhubarb pie.





mini pecan tarlets.

my favorite by far.

I need to keep up with the kitteh better.

Saying good-bye to my "space"

i deleted my account on myspace today and honestly it was about time. the only reason i held onto it for as long as i did was because melissa didn't have a facebook yet. now that all the necessary people i need to have superficial contact with are on facebook, myspace is now out the window.

now onto more realistic matters.

the get back loretta/silent comedy show last night at the ken club was so very much fun. wesley and i drove together and met up with ty, kyle, montes, and danny. i was happy for wesley that he got to reunite with old friends have wasn't forced into hanging out with his (although extremely cool) little sister. all three bands were completely enjoyable and i got to dance until my little heart was content. i am thrilled when i attend shows with kyle because he is right there with me dancing without a care.

i am really hoping to get back into healthy sleeping habits. as irresponsible as it is to stay out past midnight when i have work at four a.m. the following morning, i haven't yet regretted the time spent. i have been down about my relationships/friendships lately just because i came to the realization that i was friends with mainly couples. i absolutely love my closest friends but i have just been feeling somewhat lonely and seeking out attention and company. (therefore, accepting any opportunity to hang out). i am feeling much better now and am quite thankful for the friends i have. although i don't have anyone in mind, i think i am just ready to have a boyfriend again. i don't do single well and miss being a girlfriend, it would be nice to meet someone whom i could spend time with and talk to.

my thoughts are scattered currently. i blame my headache. more later.

current excitements.

in order of occurrence.

• the blazer i didn't plan on buying but did.

• sushi tomorrow.

• new music from my co-worker.

• animal collective on thursday
- scotty going to animal collective. (kyle too for that matter.)

• Coachella!
- the bathing suit i knit for coachella. (almost finished)
- the other bathing suit i plan on knitting.
- "pandas can't silence me." t-shirt.
- tie dye.
- tina and i being mischievous. =)

being optimistic and finding the good is always way better than dwelling on what's bad. i invite you to share your current excitements in your life.

It's Karin's Birthday!

and I love her so!

So apparently.

My ex-boyfriends are forgiving me and asking to be friends again, one by one. I don't understand the turn of events/change of heart and it's making me suspcious and overwhelmed. I need a counseling session pronto.

Kittehsicle.

yes, that is the ice container in the freezer door.

that's a little obvious.

Come this summer...

i cannot wait for someone to turn the fan on.

Always in my bed.

Well, it took a few days but my dad finally noticed the cat stuck in his emmy. His hiding place was in the middle of my bed...under my fitted sheet.

factual.

so there has been a "note" floating around facebook where you jot down 25 random facts about yourself and i have thoroughly enjoyed reading them. i thought i would continue the trend on my blog, seeing as how that would be an appropriate place to post such information. i will add things to this post as i think of them from here on out.

[1] every seven years (unless there is a leap year) my birthday falls on thanksgiving.

[2] i have only have one sibling (an older sister who is three years older than me) however when asked how many siblings i have i will always say three and count my brother-in-law and his twin brother.

[3] i was able to whistle to a tune by the age of three. my sister is unable to whistle.

[4] i am a vegetarian and have been for about two years now. i have never liked the taste of meat and therefore do not eat it. being vegetarian has nothing to do with animal rights for me because i believe we were meant to eat meat.

[5] i regret not studying architecture and think about changing my major almost everyday. 

[6] my vision is terrible and without corrected lenses i cannot even see the "E" on the eye chart. 

[7] i used to be painfully shy up until eleventh grade. today, i can't remember what being shy feels like. 

[8] i took german for four years and i am bitter that i cannot speak or understand the language due to a terrible teacher.

[9] i don't try a lot of things because i am afraid i will not be good enough at it. 

[10] i am constantly thinking of other things when i am not speaking. i feel really rude for doing this but i have never been able to slow my thoughts down.

[11] i am extremely jealous and bitter that my sister got all of my parents records, although she asked for the first and fairly.

[12] my favorite color is beer yellow, my favorite number is four, and my favorite animal is a wombat. i have little to no reasoning behind any of these decisions.

[13] i was seventeen when i had my first kiss.

[14] i have visited four countries outside of the U.S., but i have never been to mexico even though i live ten minutes from the border.

[15] i miss hanging out with boys.

[16] it took me a very long time to feel comfortable with my pale complection. i was extremely embarrassed of how pale i was up until a couple years ago. 

[17] it really bothers me when people are mean. i automatically feel the need to stick up for the other person.

[18] i sometimes wish i wasn't as responsible as i am and it amazes me that people can be careless.

[19] it is annoying when i tell people i am a psychology major and they ask that i don't analyze them. 

[20] bare walls make me uncomfortable.

[21] i'm really weird about having people over to my house and i'm hoping that changes when i move into my own place.

[22] i am dyslexic and say things in the wrong order often, especially if i'm tired.

[23] i remember next to nothing from when i dated boyfriend number three and i think it's because i was so depressed that i don't want to remember it.

[24] i was a cutter for nearly three years and only two people knew. i am still angry at them for not telling anyone to help me. 

[25] i feel like my past choices are held against me way too much and really want to be forgiven.

[26] i was extremely upset when my fish damien died five months ago and even more upset when no one really seemed to show sympathy. 

[27] i judge everyone by how they interact with the people around them, not by how they interact with me.

[28] i judge books by their covers and will choose to read something solely because the cover is pretty or unique.

[29] i feel like a better person each time i finish a book.

[29 1/2] i feel a little less intelligent anytime i read chick lit because every main character is frustrating in her decisions.

[30] i am basically a boy when it comes to humor and relationships. i have come to accept it. 

[31] i was told by a professor to consider writing screen-plays as a career after reading my final project.

[32] i have been published and only told scotty, my sister, and wesley because i didn't want anyone to want to read what i wrote.

[33] i rearrange my furniture or bake something when i am feeling down.

[34] i enjoy "old man" alcoholic drinks (rum and coke, jack and coke, gin and tonic, dark dark beer) and do not understand the point of drinking alcohol unless you can taste the alcohol. 

[35] drugs terrify me and make me extremely uncomfortable.

[36] i wish i was inspired at much more convenient times but i always seem to want to make art or try something new when it isn't an option.

[37] i think i would make an excellent wife and mom and joked that i should have been looking for a husband when i was unemployed instead of a job.

[38] i have always wanted  to make a list of things to do before i die but every time i start to think about what i would put on the list i can only come up with "nearly everything."

[39] i can and will fall asleep anywhere and everywhere.

[40] i dream of having two libraries. one full of music. one full of books.

[41] i get my hair cut or dye it myself when i am bored.

[42] when i'm nervous i pick at the seam of my jeans or twist the gold ring i wear on my right hand. 

[43] i had never mourned a relationship after a break up until my last break up. i mourned all my other relationships at that time and it felt really good.

[44] i am a really good gift giver and it bothers me that i am too poor to give gifts these days.

[44 1/2] the best gift i ever gave was a build-a-bear that resembled my boyfriend at the time. i would be really disappointed if he ever got rid of it and fear that he has.

[45] i think my best physical feature is my butt and i'm certainly not afraid to admit it.

[46] i was in choir and sang a lot in school stuff as a kid and secretly wish i could sing in front of people. although if asked to sing, i won't.

[47] i miss attending church but if i were to go again i know i wouldn't like it.

[48] my first memory is from when i was only three or four months old. my mom didn't believe me that i remembered what i did but you can start building a memory at three months old, most just can't remember anything before four or five. 

[49] i wish i were much more intelligent but i'm not sure in what way.

[50] i had a pet turtle that my dad found in our front yard.

[51] i sleep to one side (practically on the edge) of the bed even if i'm sleep alone. it doesn't matter how big or small the bed is.

[52] i love surprises and wish people did them more often.

[53] i once had laryngitis seven times in one year. 

[54] i have nine stitches in my chin from splitting it open on a vhs cassette tape. 

[55] my orthodontist pulled a tooth out on accident, therefore i wasn't numbed at all.

[56] i have a high tolerance of pain.

[57] i have decided to end relationships because i didn't like their family and couldn't imagine being apart of it.

[58] i am paranoid about losing friends because i have lost friendships that meant and still mean the world to me. i am constantly worried my friends will just stop speaking to me. 

[59] i dislike being told what to do and i often want to do the opposite just out of spite. 

[60] if i had a better income, i would travel often. i want to be able to go to the airport and pick the cheapest, soonest to leave flight and spend weekends that way. someday i hope to be able to do this.

[61] i love reading out loud. 

[62] being late makes my stomach hurt. 

[63] up until a few years ago, i was a lucid dreamer.

[64] depressing movies are quite possibly my favorite.

[65] i have one tattoo and i am dying for another one.

[66] i have my ears pierced six times. (three holes in each)

[67] i hate roller coasters but i have been on enough of them to determine this.
