Heeeey! It worked! How very exciting. Urg. I took a nap today and now feel as though a ten ton brick landed on me, squashing my few remaining brain cells into my neck. Lovely feeling.

Huh? oh, ah yes. I thought that I'd update you about a few mysterious things that I mentioned in previous blogs and forgot to elaborate on... I'm not going to live in LA for the summer; I can't find a job that would allow me to support myself there. Dang it! I got rid of some of the books on my bookshelf--the old unneeded ones like the textbooks mom had on it. I still need more room on it...but I'm making do.

Mom also wants me to remove some of the pictures from my desk...and I don't WANT to. I like them where they are, even if they do clutter up the top of it. Hmmmm, I'm still working on my harry potter scarf (gold and red) and have laid out the fabric for my kimono.... Now, all I have to do is buy five more yards of blue fabric, and cut out the rest, as well as buy the lining for my tartan jacket project. AAAND, I have to make my comfy halter dress. I didn't do anything today because of that nap. Ratosis to the "n"th degree.

Another confusing thing: my sister's name is juliana/jules/julie, while I call my friend Julie....because that's her name. Speaking of Juliana, as soon as I actually get some MONEY, i'm gonna go get letters with her that say "Pinky (for her) and The Braine(for me)"!! That's always fun. Being in a sorority is such fun, even if I couldn't have been in the same one as Jules. She's my big sis anyhow...

I forgot to mention that I got my sunglasses the last three weeks of school... I just went in and paid the frickin money for them, since I needed them so badly. They work great, whatever generic brand blah blah that they are.

I hate being sick, really I do. Note to self: ebola is not fun. (i don't REALLY have ebola). I've been sick the past five or six days, and home in bed with a fever and chills for two days. Yesterday, I braved DCA for a 12 hour shift, and then today I managed for a five hour shift.... though I had to leave early because I couldn't stop coughing. Something inside the cafe just irritates my lungs. Really badly.

I guess that I should go work on my fanfiction and update it. But first, I think that I'll have something to drink, and scrounge a snack. Hmmmm. PICKLES!!!!


Okay, a friend sent these to me, and they are just so funny that I had to post them.... Imagine looking at them while listening to Ice Cube "You can Do it."
We all know those cute little computer symbols called "emoticons," where:

:) means a smile and

:( is a frown. Sometimes these are represented by

:-) and

:-( respectively.

Well, how about some "assicons"? (Full screen for best results) Here goes:

(_!_) a regular ass

(__!__) a fat ass

(!) a tight ass

(_*_) a sore ass

{_!_} a swishy ass

(_o_) an ass that's been around

(_x_) kiss my ass

(_X_) leave my ass alone

(_zzz_) a tired ass

(_E=mc2_) a smart ass

(_$_) Money coming out of his ass

(_?_) Dumb Ass

So now, all you (__?__)'s, I gotta jet. Laugh and enjoy!
Or else you can (_x_) and (_X_)!!!

damn. sucks. That didn't do it. GRRRRRR

hmmm. I changed my nickname, now will it changed all my other stuff when i post it? Lets see, shall we?

Poor jules is in her room, lyin' down. Cramps really suck. I feel sorry for her. I actually like my schedule this week, eventhough the suckers didn't tell me that I would be regularly scheduled, and I was late to my shift yesterday. Shit shit. I have all closing shifts, which means that I can spend the day writing on my computer.

I just updated my fics at fanfiction.net, and then realized that I wasn't allowed to put up author's notes...*looks around furtively* I hope nobody notices and reports me. I also added two chapters to one of my fics and added my creepy dystopian fantasy scenario. So, you all can go read it....and laugh at my obsession with Inuyasha too. Of course, it's not as cool as my original, because it doesn't have pictures (which made it SO cool). But, it's still creepy, according to my mom. Heh heh heh. My penname is Lanenkar, peepz. f33r m3-- w00t!

I start work at six today. Sounds like fun, huh? I think that I'll bring a book to read during my breaks. Other than that, my life is boring.

Oooh! Wait, my Aunt Sarah came and visited today... err, stayed the night and then left at 850 am today, I mean. I came home from work around eleven, and they were all sleeping, so I couldn't get in to my computer in the study and update all my junk. So I had to do it today. Rats. Still, at least I updated stuff, including this blog. GO ME!

Ah well, that's it. More later when I feel orignal and witty. (not right now)

Well, I figured that I might just want to update this. I'm a lazy ass, aren't I? It's now like three weeks later than when I wrote last. Or something like that. I'm trying not to think too hard here... I just got home from work. Work, you ask? Good ol' Disney's California Adventure. And It beomes boring and monotonous as hell.

Finals week went ok, Mom transported me home wednesday, though the volvo's back door broke after we finished putting all my stuff in the car. We had to call auto club to help us. Then, I spent the next couple of days putting stuff away from all my freakin' boxes and sorting and getting rid of old things...and stuff to be sent to the condo. It's a crazy life alright. I didn't finish it either, when we all piled into the car and headed for Aunt Shiela and Uncle Marty's 25th Wedding Anniversary celebration. Which was really fun too. We were in fresno for the whole weekend, leaving for home on Monday. (or was it sunday? I forget.) He he, the best part was when we went out with phil and bob and neil and stewart and jules and I and we all got buzzed. Well, bob got piss-assed drunk, and phil and stew didn't drink. The rest of us were only mildly buzzed. Talk about a fun time. Family drinking is the best!!!

Then, home again and more distributing of boxes and goodwill donating. And, tuesday I finally posted my first fanfiction at fanfiction.net. Whohoooo! wednesday I updated it...and it WORKED!! Dad stuck more hard drives into my computer, and now it works reallllllly slick. Thursday I started work again, and I worked a morning shift today at pacific wharf cafe from 10 to 4. Not too bad, though I think someone forgot to give me my lunch. BOHOOO! Mom and I sent in my bills for college crap, and I hadta borrow ten bucks off her to get a new ID for disneyland. (I lost my last one on thursday night last week when I went to disneyland...and the lady never gave me back my id.) ~WeH!

Speaking of disneyland, I guess that I haven't worked enough hours this year to be good for the "get your family in" pass thing. THAT SUCKS! But oh well, I still had fun with Heather and (whatsisname?) that night. And I can still get people discounts for the tickets.

Finals week was fun...I turned in all my cd's and projects and copies of everything, and had to say a sad goodbye to TH, who left for Cairo this week, i think. I look forward to working with him in the future, he's a really inspiring guy, and a lot of fun too. I was SO releived that everyone liked our radio program and didn't think that it was too long. (THankyouohthankyougreatoneohmarduk!) Turned in my comp sci final...hope that the right people got it, and that I did ok. I dunno about my spanish final (and I don't really want to find out, but I'm sure I will.) I Studied so fucking hard for that final, and walked out feeling like I was SHIT on monday. Luckily, Julie and Heather saved me...as I was about to go up the steps of rieber, they came down and decided to drag me off to denny's for cheese sticks and a double fudge sundae. (hooray--chocolate to make me feel better!) Have I mentioned how much I love those two?

I haven't checked my ucla mail to see if my surfer friend will sell me the board, but at least I wrote him a letter. Tonight, I go with auntie kate and ryan and get THE NEXT HARRY POTTER BOOK! HOOOOOORAAAAY! That ritual must of course include hot fudge sundae's at Hoff's Hut. Yum Yum yum. Of course, since I'm living off "air" (ie: no money) then I hafta borrow another 20 bucks from mom to buy the book. Rats. Well, maybe I'll just bilk it out of dad with the intention of saying that "Hey, you're the one that wants to read it so bad." Ha ha ha, yeah right that'd work!

For the mean time, there's so much crap to get done, and SO little time, but in the words of a wise and famous man:

DON'T PANIC.

Camping was fantastic, as was the past week, despite being hectic. Y ahora....EN ESPANOL! Mi computadora no tiene accentos, y luego, ten paciencia conmigo! (tratare a escribir todo de este en espanol, hoy).

Tengo el primer parte de mi examen final en mi clase de espanol hoy. Es el parte de comprension audiovisual. Es estupido en mi opinion, porque la maestra ya sabia que sabiamos como hablar espanol. (pero en su clase, tenemos miedo a hacerla.) Vale--estoy escuchando a Ozomatli. No tengo suficientes canciones en espanol. Quizas ire a bajar mas del red. ...Mas despues de mi prueba. yo se!!--Me voy a hablar espanol para todo el dia!!! Sera una aventura. (espero que puedo hacerlo.)

Mi vacacion en el fin de semana pasado (dia de recuerdo?) fue muy divertido. Tuvo el mas bien visita a la isla de Santa Cruz que habia tenido. Al consequencia de habia escrito sobrela en mi diario/journal (de papel) no voy a explicarla mucho aqui, sino que decir que fuera el viaje mas buena que mi vida...hasta ahora. (mi gramatica es horrible, no?) hay fotografias en la red.... me voy a poner el sitio despues... no se que es la direccion ahora.

Hmmm. Necesito mas musica en espanol. Preguntare a Katya que son sus favoritos grupos y canciones, y despues, bajarlos de la red. =D Que buena idea! Si no sabes ahora que esta tratando a hacer, estoy tratando a pensar en la lengua de mi prueba--para ayudarme en pensar durante escribiendo en la prueba... Espero que mi gramatica ha improvechando. (por favor, dios--Marduk!! es el dios de pruebas y escuela...una broma de escuela secondaria. Ja ja ja!)

Ahora, estoy escuchando a los Juanes. Me gusta sus voces. Y como CANTAN! Mucho de los grupos musicas hoy no pueden cantar. Pero la musica hispanola prefiere cantantes ACTUALES--no como britney spears (quien no puede cantar...no tiene un voz, sino puede bailar bien).

Tengo que comer...hasta luego, o, como un estudiante brasileno en mi clase (luciano) dice, CIAO!!
(obtendra un surfboard para me...de sus amigos! no puedo esperar! ensene a surf en santa cruz... WhoHOOO!)
