yikey shnikey! thats the last time i'll get to type 2005 for wunna my posts. la posta. HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! just please be safe and have a designated driver! Sorry Mike... you're gonna be DD forever! since you can't drink and all. boo hoo. i'm sorry. that really sucks.
work was uneventful. besides the fact that my friends were giving me so much shit because i cant party it up with them tonight. unbeknownst to myself, my family made plans for the night. so i guess i'm spending New Years Eve with the family. the whole night. countdown included. and for my sake... i will be providing the alcohol. at least it will make Cranium more interesting. it's hard enough trying to guess the berlin wall or sza sza gabor while you're SOBER. think of the fun times trying to do it DRUNK. i can just see my lightweight cousin trying to draw "mutation" with her eyes closed. hahahhahaahhaah. that should be interesting.
so i guess no kiss at midnight for mar this year. but i am planning on donning red undies. in mexican culture, you wear red undies for the new year to usher in love for the year. not that i need lovin. i just want to get on with my life already and meet my rich husband already. (i WILL be Karen Walker, damnit)
speaking of which.... i've decided to throw in the towel with this whole thing with China. dating him is just WAY too much work. at first the constant naps and the gym time, and the tv time was endearing... but now its just irritating. who takes THAT many naps? despite his very light work schedule, he surprisingly has very little time for anything else. at least he went to the gym on a daily basis.... but judging from his physique, you wouldn't be able to tell. (is that mean of me to say?) Then there's the constant game of PHONE TAG. ugh. I HATE PHONE TAG!!!! not sure if you've ever taken a peak at my bf wishlist, (there's a link to the right) but one of the requirements is that he ANSWERS HIS FUCKING PHONE. this guy... hardly ever. unless i go MIA on him for a couple of days, he never even bothers to return a call. um. no. that's not gonna work here. i have patience, and i appreciate that he lets me have my time with my girls... but dude. at least acknowledge that you've received my message. OR SOMETHING.
on to new and better things, right? i wish he wasnt so good on paper (steady job, tall, chinese, own place, etc). that would make it much easier to live with. but whatever. i still have to hunt down CheckGuy. and for now, FAP2-1 has just recently shown a bit more interest. at least he's a cutie with a bit more personality. he's a bit on the short side (only 5'11"), but i have a lot of flats. eh. anything to kill time and have someone to watch movies with, eh?
i should just pull a Gina and find some random guy on myspace. hey... they're happy together now! but she had to go thru 3 other DUDs to find Justin. and really... i dont wanna be on myspace. that's just asking for a headache. i see enough people when i'm out and about, thank you very much.
i saw 3 sisters, an old coworker, and a starbucks partner on the way to Unos today whilst walking with Tonia&Ha. so aside from the shit i get from not going to the party tonight, i also get shit for knowing too many people. "mar knows everyone. everywhere you go, she'll see someone. 'hey! how are you?' kappakappakappa!" ugh.
excuse you. but i'm a starbucks whore. a sorority girl. went to MORSE. went to STATE. i've worked everywhere under the sun. practically LIVED in mira mesa. got close to all the exes' friends & family. and meet a lot of random people. OFCOURSE i'm gonna see people everywhere i go. IT'S SAN DIEGO! this place is so LITTLE! excuse me for being a social butterfly. ugh. whatever.
if you're wondering why this post is taking so damn long... it's because i'm freakin typing it out on a notepad. because i'm uploading images on a DIAL UP connection. yeah i know. how primitive. you're probably thinking that i've been typing it out on a typewriter this whole time. and sending a telegram to a little elf in the north pole who magically transforms my type-outs into text on a screen and magically uploads them to wherever it is that i have to post it to. oh. and p.s. there are magical elves too. that's how i get my blogpost posts online. the magical elves read my thoughts and *kaboom* they're online on blogger! WOW! amazing, isn't it?
and yes, i still use mostly HTML. how sad is that? i should just go back to school to learn TECHNOLOGY. so i can figure out what all those little buttons are for. and figure out what a laptop is. hmmm. what's itunes? and when did people start gettin rid of cds? and pictures dont come in print anymore? only on CD? when did that happen? ugh. i'm living in the ice age here. next thing you know, i'll be the only one left without a flying car, because i love my corolla so much.
speaking of which. someone teach me how to remove my door panel. my front passenger door is making weird noises. i know it's cuz of a loose bolt (from all the times i've been rear ended?) but i just need to get that damn door panel off! and then i'll take my phillips and tighten my dash. after replacing the bulbs for my ac control panel thingie. erik, can you work your magic on my car, please?
anyhoo.. i think i've given up on uploading for now. after these last 4... i'll post and publish and be done with it. i've uploaded a few pictures from a year back... to include a night at canes, snowboarding, angela's pinning ceremony, and some d&b shots. didnt post too many. i guess i'll wait til i'm at a better computer with high speed access to do all that. if you're interested... there's a link to the right for my imagestation photos. enjoy. even tho there arent too many. if you have high speed, that should keep you busy for at least a good 5 minutes. too many sister shots. but what can i say... I LOVE MY GIRLS.
i think i should maybe work on this new years resolution that erik suggested. he's completely cutting out someone from his life, and he suggested i do the same. but seeeee... the difference is... erik... fool... you're still IN love with her! (yeah you are. dont lie, liar.) i'm not IN love with him anymore. ILYBINILWY, is the case with him. (hahah. i told my buddy erica about the whole brian thing... and why we can still be friends, but just friends, and she thought i was dumb. then i told her it's because of ilybinilwy.... and i actually SAID 'ill-lee-bin-ill-wee' and at that point she just thought i was nuts. cuz i kept going "it's okay to be friends because ill-lee-bin-ill-wee. and that's the justification. nothing has to happen. and nothing is going to happen. ill-lee-bin-ill-wee... and that's that." so she called me crazy, then i explained to her what ilybinilwy was, and then she just walked away.) but in any case, i really should start cutting back. letting go of the comfort zone and all. eh. or not. i guess we'll see as the year progresses. i have enough crap to worry about. let's not give mar another thing to worry over... especially over something like a friendship that needs no fixing. it's fine the way it is, thank you very much.
wow. this was a really long post. my bad. happy new years, ya'll.
December 30, 2005
wow. yesterday was SOOOO fun...NY! funny funny funny. erik, you, my friend, are a funny funny guy.

December 29, 2005
the year is closing in on me. funny how the beginning of the year seemed to just DRAG on and march seemed eons away. sometime during the spring, the days seemed to go by faster and shorter (which, ironically, the days are much longer and daylight is stretched). downward spiral towards the end of the year... which included a breakup, an unfortunate wedding, and a decreasing morale at the workplace. aw hell... at least there's nowhere else to go but up, right?
at least that's what i keep telling myself until new years. i've been fattening up like a cow and not watching what i'm doing or eating because i'm letting all the bad shit go down now so that i can recooperate for 2006. (ew. 2006. damn. i'm gettin OLD) so the excessive alcohol intake, the chocolate, the pasta, the grease, the smoking... will be taken in excess for the next couple of days. so i apologize if you receive a drunk call asking for a ride home. or if you get a call asking if you want to go have a heart attack so we can gorge ourselves in greasy pizza topped with carne asada. YUM!
so what does mar plan to do in the year 2006? it seems redundant... but at least this year i have a game plan. (which hopefully will actually work this year)
*mar needs to lose at least 10lbs. gameplan: stop with the chocolate. use my gym membership along with all the nikes in the closet. drink more water. *mar needs her teeth fixed. gameplan: dental insurance rolls over on Feb. 1, 2006. so all the fillings are getting replaced, an extra crown, and we'll see if whitening is covered *mar needs to give some love and attention to her car. gameplan: get car fixed. dur. keep up on all maintenance. *mar needs to start saving for all her "major" purchases (i.e. snowboard gear, laptop, etc.) gameplan: um. get a better job. stop going out and buying rounds of drinks. bring baon to work. *mar needs a new job. gameplan: Gina is working on a resume. until then, stick it out for the insurance, then see what happens. hopefully, Monster will be good. *mar needs to expand her vocabulary. gameplan: more crosswords. less ebonics. start reading books again. *mar needs to expand her alcohol collection. gameplan: new bottle of booze every 2 weeks. *mar needs to encourage her lil sis more. gameplan: be a good big sis and call more often. the bi-weekly lunches can turn into weekly lunches. *mar needs to strengthen her friendships with old friends. gameplan: use up minutes and CALL CALL CALL! *mar needs to put money in her savings account. gameplan: mar needs to put money in her savings account.
that's what i got so far. i need to really start thinking about what else i need to accomplish. if not for the year 2006, at least get on it for the rest of my life, yes? (e.g. healthier eating. learning how to cook. cutting back on alcohol. have a transitional job to get to my career. etc.)
in any case... what are YOUR plans for the year 2006? get high, get drunk, get wasted, and do it all again? yum. sounds like a plan.

listening to pinkerton makes me want to be 18 again. when you're old enough to really do most of what you want. you can be irresponsible and carefree because, even though you're technically an adult, you're still such a young adult that you can go and goof off and use your age as an excuse. i asked you to go to the green day concert, you said you'd never heard of them. how cool is that? so i went to your room and read your diary. at 18, the possibilities are endless. you can go and start doing what you want in school, in life, and in love. still innocent enough to be able to really fall madly and hopelessly in love, but you're young enough that a heartbreak wont completely destroy you. why bother, it's gonna hurt me. it's gonna kill when you desert me. this happened to me twice before, wont happen to me anymore! getting fired from a job isnt that big of a deal. you can blaze yourself a new path. you can still re-create yourself. you can legally do most everything (except drink at a bar in the US). the world is at your disposal, and your parents still love you enough to give you a helping hand when you need it (and you KNOW that you'll need it more often than not). being 18 was WONDERFUL.
i hope that this is my last time working the day after Christmas. EVER. all ya'll pray for me. retail is really kicking my ass. my family didnt leave my house til 3am. i was scheduled o work at 5am. yeap. you heard right. so i've been functioning on about 4 hours of sleep within the past three days (and a lot of caffeine, complex carbs, and SUGAR!). tonight, i keel over and hibernate a while.
anyhoo... remember how i said i was gonna go out and party for New Years Eve? well scratch that. i'm broker than i thought. which means no going out for mar. =( so sad. but it's okay. i'd rather start out the new year not super broke, anyway.
so i looks like i might end up just getting plastered Gina&Erica's place. but those two are lightweights. and attached. which means they'll knock out early and go to bed early. and probably will be having sex to ring in the new year. while pathetic, singleton Mar drinks 2005 away... alone in the living room. hopefully i'll be too wasted to care that i'm the only one not getting laid. but i guess we'll see what happens.
i still want someone to kiss at midnight. any volunteers? just kidding. or not. whatever. just call me, damnit.
December 26, 2005
so i survived my first Christmas in EIGHT years as a single gal. i'm happy to report that although there was that kind of loneliness that only a significant other could ease... my family did a wonderful job keeping those feelings at bay. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend the holidays than just to hang out with the people i love the most and really spending some quality time together.
but now that Christmas is over... here comes the NEW YEAR!!!! there have been many talks about what to do for New Years Eve. i've told myself that this year i'm gonna party it up. but i guess we'll see what happens. traditionally, i've never really spent NYeve with a partner (Genaro always had a family thing, and Brian was never really into it), so i've never had someone to kiss at midnight. with the way things are going with China, i guess we'll see if he has any plans. i would really like to spend the night with him, and kiss him at midnight... but i guess we'll see. it's just a preference. why? i'm not really sure.
actually... the more i think about it... i'm not really sure why i even like him at all. aside from the great reviews on paper... we don't really mesh as well as i've meshed with others in the past. i guess it's the possibilities that keep me around. i never really know what to expect with him. as banal and routine as he is... he's constantly keeping me on my toes with what to say and what to do and how to react to things he says and does. it's weird. i don't get him. but maybe that's a part of the intrigue. he never really says much, and when he does, i never know how to answer or react. all i really know for sure about him is that he's a very loyal person, and he likes that in others. i guess that explains what happened that night in PB when he found me dancing with CheckGuy. i guess we'll see what's in store when he comes back.
SO... i have work at 5 in the morning. it's midnight-ish. i should probably be sleeping by now. but i've eaten too much. and i'm waiting for the chinese food to kick in so i dont have to poo at work tomorrow. i should shower now.
i'm off on wednesday and thursday. anyone wanna drink on wednesday night?
December 25, 2005
MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS!!!! i hope all of you have as wonderful a christmas as i have had so far. (the festivities don't end until tomorrow morning when i have to go to work.)
aside from the total lack of sleep due to all of the driving and painting and wrapping and cleaning madness... so far it's been a wonderful christmas. =) work was work... but we got to open our secret santa gifts. turns out, gina and I had each other. and we got each other a set of pink gifts (she got plates and bowls, i got jammies and slippers). there were no customers in sight, so all we did was lounge around and goof off the entire shift. hey... nothing beats getting paid to stand around and talk to your friends. after work, it was off to run some errands. picked up my watch (Nixon, small player w/ a pink face! woop woop! i've been jockin this watch for the past 2 years!), erik's shweater, and bri's gift from Muji, then dropped off erik's sweater. man. i had to pee sooooo bad the entire time that i musta looked like Jolly old St. Nick himself (except in a Lauder uniform). i was doin his jolly (pee pee) dance and everything. then it was off home to wrap some gifts, do a little cleaning, and off to midnight mass we go.
after mass, i ran into one of Manny&Ha's groomsmen and famfriendFloyd, both of whom saw me completely plastered at the wedding. before i even received an obligatory 'MerryChristmas' i was asked how i was doing (with a sly grin, errr). followed by comments of how i look like i'm in much better shape, now that i'm not wasted and barfing and actually standing upright. hrrmmm. gotta love it. i'm never gonna live that night down. it's okay. you learn from your mistakes. i learned never again to drink anything bubbly before challenging a big mexican to drink. but maybe the lesson learned should have been not to challenge a big mexican to drink. but you know me. always the lush.
mass was followed by the traditional after-mass dinner at my cousin's house. oooh. that was yummy! presents were opened, and many laughs ensued. followed by two rounds of white elephant (which i'm still bitter that my cousin in law stole my Pooh photo album). that was a HOOOOOT! i guess you would have had to be there... and to know all of our inside jokes. i love my fams! then there was a round of Scene It, followed by a round of Disney Scene It, followed by a round of Cranium. good times. good times. 7:30am comes around and we finally head home.
i just got back from mira mesa after dropping off Brian's gift. (yeah, yeah yeah) the starbucks line was SOOOO long. 10 minutes in line, and 15 minutes of waiting for my drink. i think that's a new record. (damnit. starbucks is gonna rule the world!) man. when are people ever gonna learn that you can just BUY coffee and brew it yourself? and it's not that hard to steam milk, add syrup, and drop two little shots of espresso in a little red cup. we were waiting longer than it would have actually taken to make it ourselves. but i guess it's the "convenience" of it... and the caffeine. thank you Lord for caffeine! at least i wasnt the only one in line wearing toe-socks.
and now it's 3:30. i gotta clean my bathroom. and cook some dinner for round TWO of the Alejandrino Christmas! tonight we all get hammered, eat chinese, watch movies, play football, and sit around and criticize who everyone is dating. WOO HOO! i love the holidays!
Merry Christmas, ya'll.
December 23, 2005
oops. i still have some shopping to do. oh well. here goes nothin.
what i NEED to do is stop shopping for myself. anyone want to go in with me on a christmas present for myself? it's this phatty Nixon watch (the small player). and i'm gettin it today. hooray! i've been jockin this watch for a couple of years. hooray for mar!
meanwhile.... to drink or not to drink tonight. that's the question. i have a lot of wrapping to finish. and some shopping. but i figger... walmart is 24 hours now. and i just need some craft stuff. and i dont really need to have everything done on christmas eve. just work people. and i dont really need to sleep (cuz the glasses hide the dark circles). hrrmmmm. decisions decisions. i guess i'll just wait for a call.
December 22, 2005
i ran into him again. seems like everytime he's even there, i bump into him. i swear i'm not a stalker. usually we see each other at starbucks while i'm on a break. or on my day off running errands. tonight it was when i was on my way in and he was on his way out. i'm not sure if the girl he was with is his girlfriend... but at least she's a constant... which would make me think so. but she hardly seems to be his type (actually... she's not even close). i've heard that he's been single for a while tho. and tonight, she was a no-show. he was christmas shopping and had no Victoria'sSecret bag (or coach, or Tiffany's). a good bf would know to get one of those.
fate needs to stop playing with my head and just hurry up and throw us together already. or maybe it will happen right before he makes partner and i get that big fat promotion. ooh. that would be even better. cuz if that's the case... then i can be patient. dum dee dum dee dum. i guess we'll see what happens after he takes the LSATs in January, right? uh hurhurhur.
anyhoo.. the day was spent in Long Beach. um. with brian. just like old times. yeap. you heard right. but i know what you're thinking. and you know what i say to that? NO! SUCKA!!!!! we're just FRIENDS. strictly that. i have no intentions of re-igniting any sort of romance. and neither do i have any interest in doing so. and you can hold me to that. but brian is just so comfortable and convenient. he knows me best, and i can't let that out of my life (not again, anyway. and this time, no crazy new girlfriend is going to drive me out of his life). Roscoes was yummy, as always, followed by an evening stroll thru The Block at orange. it was good times.
dear Erik. if anything happens, it wont be for at least three years. that's a promise. and yah know what? we're spending too much money. we need to get ourselves a sugardaddy/momma. you can try to get Smelly and i'll try to get China. then we can just shop and drink our lives away. just like Karen Walker. Yay! how fun!
ooh. that's my new ambition in life. become KarenWalker.
December 19, 2005
after a brief conversation with Dookie (a mere 20 mins), it occurred to me that he's always dropping hints of other girls. other girls that hit on him. other girls that he thinks are pretty. and just in general, how he communicates. *HELLO* what happened? he used to be this loyal little puppy that followed me around and was constantly asking odd questions. hrrrmmmm. guess he lost interest? probably. if he wasn't so damn chicken and actually grew some balls to really take charge, then maybe this wouldn't have happened.
oh mar. you're delusional.
i'm supposed to be drinking with erica right now. we have to kill her alcohol stash before her parents come back home. but nah. i'm too lazy. then laika called cuz she wants to hang out. but nah. i'm too lazy.
nah. i'm too lazy. story of my fucking life.

there are two types of men that are intertwined in you life. there are the Forrest Gumps, and the Mr. Bigs.
Forrest is dependable. A free spirit that may not be the smartest or most fortunate person in the world, but he has a damn good heart, and is loyal as a puppy. you know that no matter how long it's been and no matter what stupid shit you've done in the meanwhile.. he'll always have your back. he'll always be the one that you tell that although you love him, you're not IN love with him. you'll forever be his Jenny. he'll always think of you during his adventures. he'll always try to see at what point you are in your life. but he will never be the intrusion. he understands that the two of you are linked in more ways than physical, and that you will always find a way back to each other. and that faith keeps him going and he lives his life. you live yours. and you both know that one day you'll finally love each other at the same time. well... maybe... maybe not. only time will tell, but until then, he has faith that you'll come around. and you know you can always depend on him for anything, everything, and to be the shoulder you cry on through all the crap in your life.
and then there's Mr.Big. dashing. charismatic. he knows exactly what to say and what to do to make you swoon. he's the guy that you would drop the love of your life for. he has you tied around his little finger and you love it. your love/lust/attraction to him makes no sense. you know yourself and what you want, and Mr.Big is not what you want. yet there's still this undeniable magnetism there. your relationship is chaotic, sometimes destructive. but it's also exciting. the thought of Mr.Big gives you butterflies, the sight of him makes your heart skip a beat... and your undertheres all tingly. you've seen him with other women, and he's seen you with other men. and even when you're both happy with other people, the though to fhim makes you want to stray. the sex may not be great. he may not even be your type. you don't get along all the time. the conversation isn't always interesting. but htat doesn't matter. he's YOUR Mr.Big, and you're his Carrie. things may never work out, and most likely never will... but he's woven in your life and you can't do anything about it.
ahhh love. don'cha just LOVE it?
i think at this point i'm still a little too young to really understand who my Mr.Big is and who my Forrest is. i'm pretty sure i have a Forrest already, but still deciding which is my Mr.Big. any input?
December 18, 2005
China left for NYC today. hrmm. he'll only be gone for 9 days. but for some reason, i feel kinda sad. boo fucking hoo, right? eh. having thursday with him reminded me of why i liked him in the first place. and he's REALLY TRYING! you can tell he missed me. awww. poo. now he'll be gone for another 9 days. it's okay. from what he tells me (and from what i know from him), he's just gonna sit around and do nothing. it's 20degree weather out there and being in san diego has spoiled him. so he'll probably spend most of his days there shopping somewhere warm or sitting at home watching DVDs. no girls allowed, damnit. (ooh. mar's getting territorial) let's hope that he's looking for something pretty for jagermarster. the other day he just randomly bought a Rolex. and when i say randomly, i really mean RANDOMLY... on a whim. damn. if only, right? yargh.
anyhooooo.... enough China talk. everyone at work is sick of it already cuz they all know how yo-yo things are with him.
i swear i thought i was finished christmas shopping. then i looked at what i wrapped... and realized i was missing like half of my family. oops. my bad. but at least i have my parents, my aunt, my lola, and the kiddies covered. now it's on to the adults. and we all know how easy adults are to shop for. hardy har. fuck me. last minute once again. damnit. i was being SOOOO good too. but i think i found my christmas present to me. a watch. that i can't afford til after christmas. but i'll get it. screw my teeth. and my contacts. uh hur.

i can't believe it's almost Christmas. almost NEW YEARS. holy crap!
so here's my recap. feel free to skim. and watch out for hidden messages!
after saturday night's fiasco with the drinking and the barfing and the making a fool outta myself and embarrassing erik (sorry dude, my bad), i decided to call it QUITS with alcohol. i know, i know... what a quitter. but you can take a wild guess how long that "dry spell" lasted. any guesses? try TUESDAY. yeap. you heard right. but i swear it was for a good cause. My cousin was feeling blue and wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol. after raiding my personal stash, i decided not to let him drink alone. so i drank with him so he would feel less pathetic. we killed the remainder of the JUG (try a 1500ml JUG) of crown royale (no worries, there was only like 15oz left). nice way to quit alkie life, eh? hahhaha! mar is WEEEEAAAKK!!!!
wednesday night was spent with Brian and UNWRITTEN LAW!!!!! BEST UNWRITTEN LAW SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they played 5 or 6 acoustic songs STRAIGHT without pauses. ooooh it was sooooo goooooood! Cailin and Rest of My Life were played back to back, which kinda gave me butterflies cuz i was there with Brian, but i was too involved in the show to really give in. and the Cherry ON TOP? i was squished into a SUPER HOT Twinkie's arm nook and he was likin the cuddling too. =) wish he grew some balls to ask for my number, but Brian was by my side the whole time. so...yes, it's unfortunate, but at least i know he has social grace and manners. =) maybe next time. oh yeah... and it was a 21+ show, so yes... i had a couple of drinks there too (it was at House of Blues). BAD MAR!
and THURSDAY... has been my favorite day of this week thus far. Ready to hear more China stories? Well toooo bad para you. cuz you're gonna here s'more! Thursday morning i get a text from China at 7:35am telling me that he's gonna take a nap before our lunch date. 8:20 comes around and my phone rings. it's China. he can't sleep (awww! cute! he was excited to see me!). so i grog, groom, and vroom. we had lunch, did some shopping, and explored Balboa Park for a few hours. we found this weird jungle-gym-ish thing at the playground that neither of us could figure out. got dizzy on the spinners. tried to rekindle our youth on the swings, and climbed trees like monkeys. there was a moment in the rose garden that tugged on my heart strings, but that feeling was fleeting. all in all, a very goot time. we capped the day with Boba during sunset. awwww..... he missed me. =) that makes me happy.
the night was topped with On Broadway with the girls... now aptly dubbed "FreakyCute." "freaky" cuz Heather's nickname is 'freaky stevie' and cuz i'm part of the Freak Family (and so is Michele, honorarily). and "cute" cuz Michele (officially) and Jan are both from Cute Family. But ye. FreakyCute plus Viv hit up On Broadway after a round at Yardhouse. not realizing it would be a MUCH OLDER crowd (think 30s, 40s, and 50s) I got hit on by more 30+ men than guys in their 20s. it was kinda gross. EW. but the night was spent deflecting creepy weirdos. the high light of the night? dancing the night away with Joe... my first infatuation and my very first (ex)boyfriend. he still has that special place in my heart as the first guy i ever had a chance to dump. hahaha.. jokes. i still love the guy. he's a great drunk.
which brings us to today. legs sore. body drained. missing my China. dreaming of UL-boy. and bummed that Dookie is sick.
i'm so boy crazy it's ridiculous.

what can i say? life, to say the least... has been quite interesting as of late. =)
Friday was AphiG's formal presentations of our Nu Nymph(omaniac)s Class. We crossed 14 ladies. and that was quite the night. aside from the dramarama from the entire week (all of which include the threat of losing sisters, breach of the code of secrecy, and a slew of other things that had me crying my eyes out for a majority of the week)... a good time was had by most. i was the only one without a date... but at least China tried to invite himself. the bestest lil sis ever got me a "Sisters are forever" pillow, a scarf, and a blankie... all which match my new sheets =) she's the best ever! and my big sis (who i thank SOOO SOSOOSOSOSOSO much for being so supportive through all the drama) got me a huge bottle of Alize. awww. my alkie freaky famz! Chassie made up a sign for FREAK FAMILY to combat (not-so)cute family's sign. Freak Famz is comin up, SUCKA! aside from my lil sis almost losing her toe... it was good times. i wish i was able to stay longer, but i had work at 6am the next morning.
and why did i have work at 6am the next morning? cuz the next evening/day was Manny and Ha's wedding (which i heard from minister Danny aka Jan's Beta Big Bro was a beautiful ceremony). yikes. that was a night. i dont know what happened after the two bottles of jager, the remy, the champagne, and way too many mai tai chugs. but erik informs me that i was quite the barfer and was on the ground way too much. i wish i could remember any of it... but i'm just drawing a blank. this is what i remember....
***i lost my left contact. i lost my shoes. i lost an unmentionable. i lost my earrings. and my dignity.
***erik went to pee and left me alone outside. then he forgot about me (thanks man), and then found me with some guy. hrmmm.
***i barfed on the keg in front of the bartender
***i only had 3 out of 10 courses of the dinner
***i missed a majority of the reception
***my coat is all stained with mud.
***erik drove my car home. but had to stop at sergios first. i ordered a burrito, but left it in the car.
and that's all i got. well actually... not so much. there's one big thing i remember. but details are a bit hazy and i'd rather not have all that mess up here. man. that was WAY too much alcohol. never again will i ever challenge a big mexican guy to drink. or chug. or anything. holy crap. i'm just glad to be alive.
and that's that adventure. on to the boring stuff....
china popped in the other day at my work. totally unexpected. i was bummin around the counter chattin up everyone as usual. when i see someone smiling at me down the aisle. it didn't process for a quick minute, until i realized that it was China. okay. i don't know what happened in the couple of weeks that we didn't see each other, but he looked GOOD. so i gave him the obligatory hug before i had to go and help a customer. see... the thing is... the last time i actually hung out with him was the saturday after i saw Check Guy. after then, we kind of just tapered off. i lost interest because of my obsession with Check Guy, so i stopped calling. all of a sudden, he's calling every night just to see how my day was and to wish me good night. trying to be sweet, but not really. then he pops in out of nowhere. awwww. cute. he misses me. =) anyhoo... that's that.
shopping with erik is fun. that's that.
and wednesday night, i'm going with Brian to go see Unwritten Law. it should be interesting. if anything, i have my wingmen tonia and khris to bail me out... and marriedSteven to come to the rescue. yikes.
hrrmm... what else? not so sure. but christmas is comin around the corner. and i just found out my cousin and my nieces wont be here for the holidays. =( i'm gonna cry a river. it's not gonna be the same. =(
