my birthday so far:

i talked with jeff during the transition of september 29th to 30th. good times! my RA made me a sign saying happy birthday so people came by and said happy birthday to me. good times. i woke up to my dad calling me, and three texts from eden, katie and alisha! ding later called and we talked for a while. aww i miss bethel! i got up and had a birthday breakfast with lauren. then i went to sign up for a swim class which is basically... swimming. so its good times. they sang happy bday in my math lab and after i walked back to my room. my mom finally called me and so did my sister. i had to head over to my next class which was cool and my other discussion. oh! eden "walked" me back to my dorm. haha :)

well now im here. im headed for jeff's soon, sooo.

BYE!

18.

wow! everyone in my hall is so cool and saying happy birthday! and my RA made me a sign saying "happy birthday vanessa!" :)

its the day before my 18th birthday and all i can think of is "wow, i can finally put my REAL age on friendster"

how sad.

anyways, i did my laundry today and a girl doing her laundry at the same time as me accidentally left a red piece of paper in one of her jean pockets during the wash. all her jeans turned an ugly splotchy red. i dont know why i just shared that with you. but it sucks to be her!

i had lunch with jeff, belinda and other a phi o people. it just occured to me that i didnt say "bye" or "nice meeting you" to any of them. yikes.

well. today has been my last day of seventeen. hmm. is it the age of eighteen or twenty-one where you get considered to be an adult? im not so excited about my birthday as i was last year or the year before. maybe this is like christmas on how it isnt exciting anymore and how it just plain sucks. everything has become so desensitized.

but i do hope to i will have a happy birthday. that would be something nice to have.

i went to chruch today. good times. tomorrow, something cool will happen.

aint that pretty. thats my view from my dorm's window. all the foliage. anyhoo, its sunday and im doing ... nothing

hey guys. yesterday, i went to debut practice with jeff. wow! we got the waltz down! :)

oh! and guess what. jeff has a car! weeeeeeeeeee!

so cool times today!

i didnt have class because i dont have class on friday. dont worry all, i'll be all cramped with classes by next quarter. anyhoo i basically stayed in my room all day except for the morning. there was a block party on campus and thrice played. pretty cool but jeff and i got separated and he got trampled on and i got groped (gross) but i got to the front for part of it, so it was pretty cool. after the concert i met some a phi o people, pretty cool. we'll see if i pledge.

well now i back at my dorm, thanks to a ride from jeff's big, ian. good times. but i feel gross. sweaty and gross. anyways, i'll be in los angeles tomorrow and that'll be fun times at bethel's debut practice. hard to believe that two weeks ago we saw rufio. craaazy.

did i mention i had classes today?

and there are hot boys everywhere
(that was jeff talking)

jeff: hell yeah we're waking up tommorrow morning
me: no we won't
jeff: yea we will. we'll have plenty of time to do laundry. my first class is at 2, and your's is at... monday

well the past few days have been pleasant.

riverside is not too bad. the people on my floor are loud and ... loud, but in general pretty nice. i live in what they here in the building i live in, lothian, call the cave. why? because i live past the part where most people think the hall ends. visit me to find out what that means. my roommate is really nice. the guy who lives next door to me knows a bunch of people from immac like bel, chon and esther. the girls down my hall think im a genius because i fixed their lamp that the guy who lives next to themcouldnt. oh! and ahely lives down my hall!

jeff's apartment is a pleasant 15 minute walk from my dorm. i think its great that walking therfe takes less time than driving from my house to his in whittier. very nice apartment. i helped his big from a phi o build his futon and i built his nightstand. fun times.

my dorm is dorm-sized, so i really cant say anything.



yeah cool time.

YAY! i have internet. haha.

uhh. im in east lothian in the their comp lab. apparently, theres a virus going around and they're recommending us to not connected to the internet...

anyhoo.. YAY! college stuffage. im con belinda pingol! and shes drinking wild cherry pepsi! wah hoo.

my roommate's pretty cool. we both like the same type of music... ie radiohead, fiona apple, tori.. yeah

and thats all.

time to put this baby to bed. my laptop i mean.

good bye los angeleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

wait... arent i coming back every week for ding's debut practice?

hmm. the day before i move away. interesting.

so i visited my beloved immac. and then 30 minutes later, left. whats up with all those bees?

anyways. i ate a lot today, and im still hungry. after survivor: pearl islands, i'll go walk that goddamned russian leader dog.

My inner child is sixteen years old!

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.


How Old is Your Inner Child?

how utterly accurate.

well.. on tuesday, i hung out with jeff and today, i tried to open a checking account at washington mutual but apparently you have to be 18 for that. the things i have to wait for for free cheking. then i hung out wiht jeffrey.

so! a blog.

monday, i woke up in kats bed... wah hoo! usc. their food isnt so bad.. very good macaroni and cheese. anyways, we basically ate, watched SatC, and went to Erin's goodbye/faux birthday party, which was much fun.

hey kids, im at kats dorm! i slept over! wah hoo!!!

alas. so things have happened in the past few days.

one: jeff and i recognized our 16 months together. :)

two: i took my mom the arcadia in the thick thick morning fog and dropped by jo's house at 8:30 in the morning and later headed to welcome day. those freshmn are some durned cute. lets hope they're not as sexually active as some people the in the previous freshman class. and durned faculty and they're 'immaculate hogwarts'. maybe they'll get a clue and make it a reality. that would be rad

three: met up with kat at immac and headed back to jo's where we were later joined by katie, eden, ding, grass and our old friend yuca's. after that, i parted to pick up my mom and then to jeff a work to pick him up for... the rufio concert!

so man.. the concert at the Troubadour was pretty damned awesome. i got me self a rufio tee shirt for 12 bucks. the first band was pretty cool. the second band sounded like radiohead so i really dug that. they seemed a little out of place except for the second to the last song, but all in all pretty good. the third band, motion city sound track was sooooo rad, especially the keyboad dude and his acrobatice skills. and then rufio was sooooooo faaaaaacking good. man. kat was just bouncing and moshing away to the front and i was just pushing and moving with the crowd. but maan it was crazy. i fell once and three people pulled me back up and i almost fell just jeff caught me in time. in the end, they played "still" which was craaaazay. we also had a huge group with us.. brian, bethel, kat, jo , norm, bel, keith, and of course jeff and me. after the concert we ate at "el gran burrito" next to the subway station. yum.

four: today was lauren's birthday thang. i was the first there because... yeah hehe. anyways, when i got there, lauren and her cousin anthony who i met at a JSA convention where watching bringing down the house. gabi was the second to arrive and them leslie, guzman, erin, rushayne, laura, hailey and renee arrived in her four dolla skirt. the food was good and so was sitting in a circle and talking about random things. eden described it pretty well, and i quote, from her blog... "after sitting around, waltzing,fiddling around with Anthony's guitar, and the usual dose of random things..lauren thought that it would be lovely to sit at the park and do the same thing." so we did.

and another thing... EDEN IS MY TWIN. for serious. 1) we drive big cars and we haul people around. 2) we both we're watching that "according to jim" episode a week ago. 3) we both had that circle blog. 4) her blog layout now and my previous blog layout looks similar. 5) we both have the same class ring (blue stone, yellow gold) 6)we both have the SAME kind of levi's jeans. 7) we both heart aimee mann songs.

so there. is that not the best proof? yes.

when we got back to lauren's grandparents' house, we played "in my world" guzman got it really quickly! like... when eden, leslie, lauren, renee, grass and erin we throwing things out, he piped in with the right answer! wowsas! then leslie got it, then grass, then i had to write it out for erin, eden and renee. lauren will soon figure it out.

after lauren's shin-dig, i headed for dockweiler beach and met up with bj, belinda, keith and of course, jeff. i stuck around for a little bit but then took jeff home. his knees we're killing him, so i left his house at 11 and now im home. yay! and the weekend isnt even over yet!

holy fucking frijoles. i move in 10 days!

frightening. but yes. i will be leaving home. only to comeback for bethel's debut practice. heh.

ha. so. two of my previous layout from blogskins.com are now in the top rated 15. that would be the circle one and the green minty one.

today i had a date with jeff and it was rad!

so today, because i seriously cannot leave my house, i went blog hopping. but serious blog hopping. like... clicking on links. and like most times i've ended up on a xanga site. wow. this girl has a million and a half links, a boyfriend, and when you right click on her site, a warning bow pops up and says, "FUCK OFF" and guess what? this girl is twelve.

wait a second. what was i doing when i was twelve? hmm.. boyfriendless, kissless, blogless, and ooh! internetless!

interesting.

oh and i've finally named my laptop... its Donnie!

life in a box is better than no life at all. -guildenstern... or rosencrantz?

well thats david blaine up there. kudos to him. proved r&g right.

this blog entry will cover my weekend.

so i went back to work today... and yay! i brought home work! im sorting out ALL the senior proofs and negatives! its time consuming and it sucks to think that if fuck up on this, girl's will order the wrong picture and will cause them to get this pics later than usual. everyone turned out really well so thats really good for them. likei said before, im working at home, so i'll be sitting on my ass this week cutting up negatives but getting paid 8 bucks an hour. very cool.

and who showed up on my door step today? the elusive kat!

today seriously felt like a monday. thats frightening.

on saturday, jeff and i picked up a sick Kat to get to debut practice. waltzing is frigging difficult as jeff and i learned yesterday. and yes, we rubbed each other the wrong way but we figured things out and now its all good again.

again with the staying up late...

i've just watched donnie darko in full again, with commentary. theres so much i didnt see the first time (part in due that my tv screen is the size of a dinnerplate) and some things are still almost making sense.

anyways. im just took a finding nemo quiz. yaaay


What Finding Nemo Character are You?

ironic part of the beginning of donnie darko:

note the halloween billboard. who is is sponsored by? Mothers Against Drunk Driving?

does anyone remember that radio commercial where it opens with a guy that says "dont you love my full luscious lips?" and the woman says something like, "*horrified* what did you do" and the guy says, in a lispy voice "beesting therapy"

yes i woke up today and i think a FLEA bit my LIP. its a bit swollen so my lips look puffier than usual. damned construction in my house. lets all these outside predators such as fleas and spiders get into my house.

on a happier note, my drive way will be in construction in a few days, so i can park in it... and grace can rollerblade over again without getting stuck in the dirt. haha, that never happened, but it would be funny if it did.

Hoping to shatter its prudish image, Singapore will end a 21-year-old ban on "Cosmopolitan" magazine but says "Playboy" is still too racy.

playboy is racier than cosmo? ha. that makes me laugh.

by the way, thats a link up there

"Kids, you've tried your best and failed
miserably. The lesson is, never try." You
used to have a goal, a dream. But somewhere
along the way, you failed at acheiving this.
Now, you don't even try anymore. You've most
likely given up on things you once loved. While
this attitude can prevent failure from
occuring, it doesn't help you acheive your
dreams either. Realize that all dreams aren't
impossible, and that life is what you make of
it.


Which Advice Quote said by Homer Simpson are You?

seriously.

oh sweet jesus christ, im listening to celine dion and im tearing up. hey. dont judge! its "a new day has come" it reminds me to kairos.

anyways, i havent blogged with real content for a while... but there really is nothing to talk about except... my new laptop? yup! i really like it. its pretty damned sexy and after a day of having it, its still in one piece! double snaps for me! and since its two in the morning, you get a view of it due to my extreme boredom!

so this is me typing


and oh joy! a non yellow screen!


you all have no idea how utterly estatic i am because my screen isnt yellow... its like... being blind for years and all of the suddedn being able to see again... well no, its like being colorblind and finally, seeing colors again. blues are not blacks, pink isnt red and if erin still had that yellow blog, it would actually look yellow. also, in the above picture, you can see my old computer screen behind it, being jealous.

on another off subject about computers, for years i've had my webcam that shot really really grainy pictures, and just yesterday, i realized it was set on high compression which cause the dark and grainy-ness. blaaah. well at least you can see things now, right when i've moved computers... *grumbles to self* you can actually make out some type on the screen in the picture above. otherwise, it would just look gray.

and has anyone seen jeff's testimonial on friendster for me? its like, a frigging bible. and its wonderful. :)

hey! its my birthmonth! its my last month being non-legal... and being a provisional driver... and not being able to buy cigarettes. oh well, its not like i do that. drive, that is.

just kidding.

well now i will watch my SatC where Charlotte gets married again. huttah!

haha. so im watching the oc and this commerical for secret antipersprant came on. and god. its funny.

wow, so my laptop has almost most of the shit that i had on my home comp which is currently nursing a GOOD CLEAN NON-YELLOW SCREEN. bah. seriously. i think i fixed itself because it wants attention.

anyways im doing nothing. nothing nothing nothing.

blogging from my new laptop! yay!

so i'vebeen talking to ashley noonan, and shes lonesome! and she was telling me how her bed is like a cave, and if i come over to visit her, we'll be batness and ashy-knees in the bat cave!

hey kids, im at jeffs house... and guess who drove me here? mi padre! thats right! my father knows that i am with jeff. awesomeness. anyways, my laptop now has window's xp pro, courtesy of jeff's cousin, niem.

anyhoo, i can finally publish on my blog... huttah!

hmm

happy september.
