DO I SMELL... MARDI GRAS??? - zette's away message

word. anyhoo. long beach friday was cut short and turned into usc friday.

the scary people of the day:

- poli-sci professor ( was he trying to be funny?)
- pink/green braided girl on the blue line. (or was that a dream?)
- guy in the cape at popeyes (maybe i should have taken a picture.)

heres a big shout out to lauren. yes, the lauren battling for dominion over my chatter box with doug. lauren went to elementary with dougie fresh and me. we are dually handedly reuniting our class (so this reunion will be a two day thing; first day, catch up, second day, get fucked up ) because its somewhat less scary when two people are googling names not just one singular lonesome person. anyways, she moved out to nevada in 6th grade and was never heard from again, well, from me anyways. ha.

by the way... lauren = me. you'd be surprised. doug and i called her this morning and doug was listening to her voice message...

doug: ::listens::
doug: oh shit, she even sounds like you.

friiightening.

oh also, after getting off the blue line, we ventured through downtown (we walked two blocks west of the metro stop) and caught the dash bus to usc just as it started to rain. this was our stupidity

::walks onto bus::
doug: do you have a quarter?
me: ::fumbles with wallet, but finds a quarter in jacket pocket:: hmm... do you have a quater?
d: ::looks in empty wallet:: no.
me: ::more fumbling::

[note, the dash bus is full. people are staring]

d: ::whips out bus pass:: can i use this?
bus driver: ...yeah
me: can i use this :: whips out day pass::
bus driver: ...yeah
me: alright then, so we're idiots.

the end!

so now, i am going for a walk. good night!

mercoledì, febbraio 25

meh. i need to finish this essay by 5:15.

anyhoo. im procrastinating like its going out of style. word.

okay, so instead of doing my essay, i was looking through the random pics from my weekend. thats the cardboard harry potter thing that was sitting at the multiplex at city walk. it has the wanted sign for sirius black, ad for the firebolt (i want a firebolt for christmas. muaha), hedwig, etc. so i ask you, my wonderful readers...

why would there be a sign that had both diagon alley (diagonally! thanks doug) and hogsmeade on it? if hogwarts/hogsmeade is all the way up north near scotland (thats the direction the hogwarts express goes in), why would diagon alley be anywhere NEAR it? alright, you all can claim port keys, floo powder and disapparating. but... why would you need direction?

alright... im probably just nuts. nuts, i say, nuts.

AmnEsIAc2057: haha i just IMed jjsexie
oxvanes The rzxo: haha
oxvanes The rzxo: why..?
AmnEsIAc2057: to tell him of us
AmnEsIAc2057: lol
oxvanes The rzxo: hahahaha
fuck. i cant believe its almost been a year since i've left for kairos. that event is perhaps the single most important event in my life other than being born. i seriously wish to feel that "fresh off kairos high" if kairos was a drug, i'd be the first chick on the corner of a dark city block with cash in hand.

anyways! its mardi gras! sad that i knew that simply because of the decor on yahoo!'s tool bar.

ok, so what is my lenten sacrifice? im giving up being messy. and im seriously going to try. but since today is fat tuesday, i'll throw my crap around today.

tomorrow: ash wednesday. i need to go to church. anyone want to help me out in that department?

lunedì, febbraio 23

haha! so i had a long blog entry... AND I CLOSED THE WINDOW!

haha. let me laugh at myself. haha

anyways, i dont remember what i wrote. but i did remember this! the picture of the weekend: indeed. if only the rest of the world could be as loving as joe and doug.

its late. i usually have something profound to say. but i suppose danielle's take on being profound and philosophical is true. one can be philosophical all the time. its just that soberness tends to get in the way of voicing these profound words.

and on top of that, i'd like to elaborate on danielle's first entry on her blog. we truly do live in "the voyeuristic land of the internet." why do we do it? is it for the reason of having some sort of name on this fake façade that is the internet? or is it for the satifaction that someone is reading? as a matter of fact, i feel that its the latter. if one really wanted to keep a record of their daily experiences, a journal could make due, right?

eh... i tried that. the december blog haitus left me with random scribble that even i couldnt decipher. what i wouldnt give to try harder in handwriting in 2nd grade.

thank god im happy again. its quite difficult being cynical.

domenica, febbraio 22

today...

- croissants and cellos. thats friggin' classy.
- fish. wow, that IS good fish.
- fight club. i must watch it again.
- wrestling. on ps2. w00t.
- sex and the city. for a show i only really got into in the past year, i really liked this series and even the series finale. john, ay? danielle and i agree that he's more of a james.

sabato, febbraio 21

estoy en la casita del kat.

so, long beach friday was another success. i seriously ate way too much this weekend, and its not even done. i went to banana bay with brian and we had the continental fried rice and the pad see ewe. then the next day, at long beach, joe, brian, ding, doug and i went to bj's and had... a lot of food. then doug and i had our adventure through los angeles. blueline, redline, redline, arclight, lost in translation, hot dog in front of amoeba, oreo icecream, redline, getting and kats house.

now, for another adventure... ::vanessa theme song plays::

giovedì, febbraio 19

uh huh, so yeah, the final sex and the city is on sunday and i have no hbo anywhere.

can some one tivo/tape/download/burn it for me? please?

mercoledì, febbraio 18

my goal for my 21st birthday is to take on the midwest. w00t.



create your own visited states map

i've visited 49% of all the states. wowsas.

oh... and cover that little edge of red where virginia and new york and dc are and the remaining red states are all states that my family DROVE through. hellz yessers
good afternoon readers, its is 12:30 on the west coast and you're coasting with the barrios. sO, i've come to these conclusions about food:

- i like stealing tea from the cafeteria
- chunky soup = good
- the lady on the left who makes sushi needs to try harder.
- honey comes from bees. think about it.
- dishes are harder to clean 5 days after they have been used
- 3 pure beef tacos and a fanta plus a nacho = good times
- i miss yucas.
- i'm beginning to forget what chimichangas taste like. i actually had a dream about them last night
- cinnamon toast cruch cereal bars = pretty good

so why have i talked about food for the past few lines? well obviously because lent is coming up. i'm thinking of doing kat's lent diet... or giving up sex. just kidding. about the lent diet. just kidding about that too. ha... ha... should i give up chocolate? why would i, i dont even like chocolate. i would usually give up soda, but i dont even drink that much soda anymore.

anyways, back to this whole lent thing. why did they call it abstaining from meat? is meat like having sex? i wouldnt know, because im a vegetarian. haha. no.

hmm. im listening to portishead - glorybox with my window open, and its raining. currently im in a pensive mood but its not what you think. im more concerned with the fact that now riverside will have that cow smell times 5.

also: to danielle, i seriously dont know where im finding jack. its not that im searching him out, i just happen to stumble upon random flyers and all that what not.

doug: 4896 days. thats fucking insane. no, no, we are insane for figuring it out.

martedì, febbraio 17

i am taking a nap.

lunedì, febbraio 16

hey guys. i was supposed to leave for riverside this morning but no, my insides were dripping from my nose. apparently, i have a sort of cold and a sinus headache. thanks mom! anyways, im headed back to riverside nowish.

but before that i ate tree beef tacos. and a fanta. and a neck. ha.

"Hello? Can I speak to, to ______? Oh, hey how you doing? I feel kinda silly doing this but uh, this is the cashier at Midnight Mug on the 2nd floor of Lauinger, you know, the Asian one? Yeah, well I see you Saturdays all the time. You come in after band practice, I think, and you always order the bagel and cream cheese, and the hot chocolate. My manager be tripping, talking about how customers have to pay for whipped cream, but I always add some 'cuz I think you're kinda sweet. Anyway, you always got on your fly Rivers Cuomo glasses. So what year are you? Oh word? Look man, I don't wanna waste your time but I know girls don't usually do this, but I was wondering if maybe we could get together outside mmug one day? I do look a little different outside my work clothes. I mean we could just go sit on Copley. Wait, hold up my... my cell phone, breaking up, hold up, can you hear me now? Yeah, so what day did you say?"

my dad: they need your password
vanessa: my password is *******
my dad: what?? thats so stupid!

haha. uh. so i have a loaner comp right now. this thing is sitting where my owncomputer would usually be sitting. its pretty rad none the less.

my note to self: remember to do mathxl. i havent done my homework on time and i've been screwing myself thoroughly. and i'd rather get a rabbit for that. just joking. anyways. i think im off my cloud, but im in a good place on the ground. and thats all that matters.

its a bit windy outside. and my window is open. chaos, chaos.

i havent been to the gym in a week and i still fit in my pants. w00t.

katrina flowers visited my blog! aww, you've made me totally homesick for immac. have they finished the pool house yet? we would be swimming in that 4 lane pool. and i'd be in lane 1, the slow lane. aww, memories. senior year swimming was farking tough. what were they thinking putting me in 4 events every meet? i guess i shouldnt complain, they never pushed me into varsity so i wouldnt be up for the 500. haha. if i swam the 500 i'd make renee be my lap counter. or maybe gina nam.

note to la: im coming back tonight. perhaps i'll do some illegal driving.

on another note, there are trees that are planted outside of my dorms around the parking lot that seriously smell like cum.

the end!
