7:44 pm	Wedding Pictures Ok gosh darn it, I just want to post some pictures. I have enough that I could probably be sharing pictures for months. I have enough pictures for two dozen facebook albums, if I were so inclined. And I have only seen a handful of pictures actually taken by my photographer. These ones are just from family members. But they are still pretty amazingly pretty. You know you want to take a peek!

8:29 pm	"THings" (because Tyler commanded me to) Things that I dislike: 1. Shikha's pet rabbit named "Foo Foo" 2. How laundry piles up so quickly 3. Trucks driving around without any trailer attached. When it's just the cab, it freaks me out. They look like decapitated horned demons and it REALLY bothers me when I'm in a car driving next to one on the freeway at night. 4. Food that people forget they bought and then it goes moldy in the fridge. Not saying that I've never been guilty of this myself...but it's still gross! 5. Being sick 6. Religious Studies 12 aka the Old Men With Beards Class 7. Japanese Tests Things that I enjoy: 1. Getting enough sleep (yet happens so rarely!) 2. Ratemykitten.com which I discovered yesterday 3. Japanese Film Class/Professor Foster's ability to keep people awake with interesting lectures during early morning classes! 4. Taking pictures of people when they are asleep 5. Piling into Pat's minivan with its Death Chairs and going to Taco Bell 6. Green Tea Smoothies from Juice It Up for breakfast 7. Wearing my boots in the rain so my feet don't get wet! Random People Upon Whom I lay an Imperative to Answer 1. orange_fell 2. below_the_salt 3. _lime_ 4. mystygrl 5. moof86 6. perfect_circles 7. getting_even Current Mood: sick Current Music: "Nostradamous" by Al Stewart (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:53 pm	LIfe is 1000% Better With A Cat Mara's kitten has come to stay with us for the night and most of tomorrow. We're technically not supposed to have any pets, so she's staying in our laundry room. Despite being slightly allergic....I'm in raptures. I keep slipping off from my work to go and play with Tamora. Of course, my loyalties will always remain with Chrestomanci, but out here at Riverside, I get kitty withdrawl. And Tamora is an affection-whore (no offense, Mara). She is SO CUTE. She loves being petted, cuddled, and climbing into your lap when you need to leave. I swear, that cat would be the worst burglar alarm ever. She'd just purr at him and climb into his lap. But then, he may be so awestruck by the fuzz cuteness, he'll forget his impure intentions. You'll come home to a broken window and a stranger sitting on your kitchen floor, unable to move, for fear of disturbing the sleeping kitten. I think cat allergies are the worst curse ever. It's not fair. But all the soft purring is worth the sneezing. Current Mood: rejuvenated Current Music: MEOW (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:18 pm	Moving Out Tonight is my last one in the dorms, which I meet with mixed feelings. I opened summer directly after my finals to go out an celebrate with Jason, Luke, and Autumn for peticures and Chinese food. Yes, Jason got a peticure and it wasn't too hard to convince him to come, since his fingernails are accustomed to paint. He got a very neon green and then, since he only had socks and shoes, we went over to Rite Aid and bought him pink flip flops with a pompom on them. Surprisingly, he got way more compliments on the flipflops than on the peticure. The boy, Luke, and I then concluded the evening by watching Return of the Jedi and then harrassing Cameron while he was in his bathrobe. Ahahaha. Amusing. Stayed up much too late into the night. Today was mostly catching up on sleep and starting to empty drawers onto the floor. We bid farewill to Luke, who is off on her way to Nor Cal and then to her original home in jolly old England. She hit the road with enthusiasm, giving the closed doors of her hall the finger as she left. I don't think I feel that strongly, but I think moving on from dorm life will be good for me. But at least my hall, despite two specific losers, wasn't intollerable, although not filled with bosom buddies. I depart tomorrow in the afternoon, which makes me sad. I don't want to say goodbye to him for summer. :{ Current Mood: nostalgic Current Music: "Tank!" Cowboy Bebop (Comment on this)

12:02 pm	The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget. Rebecca, I know this was your song first, but I'm still new to it's marvel.

8:45 pm	People really need to evolve beyond needing sleep. And food. Then I could actually get stuff done. Luke and I are having a laundry party, and we went to pick up our stuff maybe two minutes after it had finished. In that time, a girl had emptied my clothes out of the washer and onto a table...which is ok, I guess....except she dumped it on a pile of dryer lint. Rather large and obvious clumps. That was not particularly nice. We got there as she was putting her stuff in the washer, so it's not like we were really that late. The ONE time I leave my laundry unattended. Sheeh. Oh well, hopefully the last time I do laundry in the dorms. NExt year, we'll have a washer and dryer IN our apartment. How wicked is that? Arrrrrg! Kanji! Arg!!

9:43 pm	Concentrating on Falling Apart This week is going really shitty. I am more worried and stressed than I have been in months and it's dragging me thin. I want to go home. I want this quarter to end, because some of the schooling and the people here aren't being very nice. I don't want this quarter to end, because I'll lose Jason to summer vacation and have nothing but the I-Don't-Know-What-The-Fuck-Next-Fall-Will-Be-Like feeling. I wish I had more time. I'm scared. I hope this is just a horrible week and it will be over soon. Just as long as I don't go back to being depressed again. ahjboljpotouhgu;'ygdteswqfuck. (5 Comments |Comment on this)
12:29 am	She Doesn't Know That I Love Her Let's see, events worth note: A week ago Rooney played a free show at UCR. Anne and I were beyond excited. This was my second time at one of their shows; I saw them with my aunt, Alison, and Willie over last summer. I saw the campus production of Cabaret with Jason on Friday. It was a fairly "updated" version, with a very modern feel to it. Lots of vinyl lingere and Ramstein music put in some of the dance numbers. I think the Emcee was very well cast and his red vinyl with black trim trench coat with silky orange inside was amazing. His movement was quite well crafted, though I think he had too many clothings compared to the Kit Kat Club girls (who looked like they'd done a great deal of shopping at Hot Topic). The guy playing Cliff is a freshman in the honors program. I've seen him around a lot, but never talked to him. I was surprised to see they gave a freshman the role (Alice...make sure you audition next year! They give roles to freshmen!), but he is obviously really talented. In costume, he fit the part much better than I thought he would. I think vocally he was well-suited for the songs, but some of his dialogue scenes were a little flat. I like the girl playing Sally a great deal, except for her rendition of Life Is A Cabaret. She performed it too much as if it were just another act being put on at the Club, and didn't convey enough of Sally's doomed fate that comes from only being able to "love a cabaret" and not people. I think the make-up people also could have fucked up her appearance a bit more....she still looked too pretty when she had supposedly just had an abortion! But those are pretty minor quirps. My one issue with the production was the girl playing Fraulein Schnieder. Part of this was not her fault at all, but the director's. They didn't age her at all! They dressed her kind of frumpy, but she still had her nice blonde hair and rosy complection. I didn't get the feel of her being an old...well, *considerably* beyond her youth....woman. And who ever told her to sing the Who Cares, So What? song as if it meant blow off all your troubles was an idiot. She was cheerful. Fraulein Schnieder's dialogue/songs lyrics are not cheerful. There was no gauntness to her performance! I did not get the feeling that this creature had been through all the trials of Post-World War I Germany, and was too rooted in her way of life to risk giving in to her love for a Jew. Thumbs down there. Tech was great. Jen must have been an awesome stage manager; seeing Scott dancing was fun and he was very gracious after the show. All in all, I was very impressed! I miss drama.... Went back to Ren Faire on Saturday and met up with Rebecca! Yay, I got to see my little sister! happiness! Jason and I also went to the Jimmy Eat World/ Taking Back Sunday concert that night in Long Beach. It was very loud and we were in seats very far away. I'd never been to a concert with seats before. It was a little strange. JEW was fantastic. And they played one of my favorite, which I felt was appropriate for the moment: I'm on my feet I'm on the floor I'm good to go All i need is just to hear a song i know I wanna always feel like part of this was mIne I wanna fall in love tonight Current Mood: cynical Current Music: Praise Chorus by Jimmy Eat World (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:43 pm	Birthday and Such So, now I'm 19. A glorious middley-year that most people forget is between 18 and 20. This was my first birthday away from family, which made me sad that I couldn't be with them. Luckily, some friends close at hand stepped in and made it a nice day. The Jester and my stalker showed up outside my door a little after midnight with a GIANT newspaper wrapped box, as tall as my waist. Upon opening, I discovered it was full of crumpled up sheets of newspaper. Buried at the bottom was another box. In that, a plastic tube. In that, a newspaper wrapped envelope. Followed by another envelope. In which was a Starbuck's gift card. What an immense gift; the best part was the ordeal of unwrapping. I was so surprised, I didn't know what to say! But now that I think about it, twas an honor. Thanks for thinking of me, it made my day...well...night. I hope it was worth the effort! Was in class most of the day. Dinner at Denny's was pretty fun. And odd collection of people turned out to wish me well. Apparently there's not much to do on a Tuesday night....nah, it was cool. Luke, I love the balloons. I gave the poster to some guy Jason stopped to talk to at LoGo. He said he was going to throw it away, but I saw him walk back toward the dorms, totally ignoring a rather obvious trash can. lol. Thanks everyone who called or IMed and wished me well. You know, She Will Be Loved can't be my song anymore. I'll have to hand it over to some other 18 year old. I've gained another year and that love. Now off to end the day with some quality cuddle time! Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: "Blood Rush" by the Trash Can Sinatras (12 Comments |Comment on this)

1:06 am	Outrage Someone in my hall, who shall remain nameless, began, after quiet hours, started stalking up and down the halls denouncing homosexuality as unnatural and comparing them to how deviant ants get executed by the rest of the colony. So, we should execute all the gays? We shouldn't represent the minorities because they represent such an insignificant percent of the population? He/She actually said we needed the perfect humans.......sound familiar? I could not be prouder of Simone, who dared to take him/her on. YEah! That's my best friend! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:34 pm	Disgustingly "Awwwwwww" Entry Alert I wasn’t feeling well most of the weekend. I either ate something bad and I’m still feeling the effects or I have the flu or a terrible cold. Last night was especially rotten. I finished my homework at around 3 am and woke up at 4:30, feeling incredibly nauseated. Fortunately, my boyfriend lives in the hall next to mine..... He spent almost an hour lying on the floor outside the girls’ bathroom in B-wing with me because I felt to sick to get up. (Some girl from his hall came and used the bathroom at one point and saw us lying there, in the company of an abandoned bobby pin. You know, if I saw someone collapsed outside a bathroom, I would probably ask if they were ok, or at least see if they needed anything, but from her, it was like this was an everyday occurrence? She probably thought I was just completely wasted or something.) We moved into the lounge later, where he wrapped me up in a blanket and I crashed on a couch. He stayed with me the rest of the night. Strange how you feel the most loved when you are feeling like shit, isn’t it? And yet, not at all surprising. This was the second time Jason’s taken care of me when I was sick, gotten me Sierra Mist, saltine crackers, or ramen. I don’t want to be one of those girls who uses their lj just to babble about their boyfriends, but I absolutely love him.

8:36 pm	Guildenstern Is Dead Awww. fuck. I didn't even have the chance to take care of my fish badly. The grayish one was swimming around fine when I came in for lunch and maybe half an hour later was floating, giving his final breaths. How sad! I didn't even know he was suffering! I'm going out to get fish food later..... the stuff they gave me was just a little baggie ful. I might get Rosencrantz a friend, so he won't be lonely. After all, they only cost 12 cents.... I'll update with more fish news soon Apart from this depressing news, Luke, Leia, and Padme will be living together at the Grand Marc apartments. That oughtta be a disturbance in the force!
