All set for...LUDICROUS SPEED!!!

Ha! Finally went and got a life. Okay, not really, only for a short while. Mostly, it consisted of me and my big sis Bridget going out to celebrate her 21st BDAY!!! On an aborted booze-buying mission. Did you know you can't buy booze at the supermarket in the USA unless you're 21 PLUS one day? Boo, sucky!

Anywhoo, still had fun hangin' at her apartment, watching Ruroni Kenshin anime and eating LOTS of donuts... Sucks though that I had a big mug of REALLY F'IN' strong earl grey tea right before we crashed for the night...uhhhg. I SO shouldn't have done that, It kept me awake for TWO hours!! yee. Ah well, the couch was comfy, and they let me sleep until lunchtime, when we went out for sushi at tomodachi!! So, thank you, ladies, that was FUN, and I'll be your resident couch whore ANYTIME~ tee hee hee!

Last couple of days, have spent depressed about the whole visa issue. (Okay, no, weeks.) I guess I'd better just face the music and talk to mom and dad about the shitty visa people. *sighs* Shiiiiit.

Am going to cut the hair. It is pissing me off IMMENSELY. Hmm. Must find picture of style I want. A pixy-ish girl mullet. Saw it in a Magazine, but can't remember which one. Damn. Got a new shampoo, Garnier Fructise. Smells nice, works okay. Still, GRRR.

Have read (0ver the past three days): Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, and The Da Vinci Code by Brown-somebody-or-other. Siddhartha was EXCELLENT. I have a bunch of really cool quotes from it to post, sometime. Da Vinci Code was very high octane and entertaining, despite being slightly historically inaccurate. I can now grasp the meaning of "Artistic license". Yep. Started on Angels and Demons (the precursor to DVC) and practically screamed with laughter (and thus could never take the author seriously again) at the end of the fourth chapter when he stated ...

"Langdon felt his pulse surge. 'I thought you said the lab was only an hour away!' 'It is, Mr. Langdon.' The pilot chuckled. 'This plane goes mach fifteen.'"

What??! That's like, LUDICROUS SPEED....Mel Brooks, be proud. (I can see the plaid in my mind!) Dumbass doesn't even realize that the fastest plane in the world, the SR-71 BLACKBIRD JET only goes mach 6.2! In the UPPER atmosphere. Only SEVEN miles up. Oh, and buddy, 100 miles up is OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. You'd be in ORBIT, SHITHEAD!! However, the other stuff about the plane is accurate. IF he were talking about a new type of atmospheric scud/transport that Boeing is developing. Yee, He needs to do more research. *Rolls eyes* Shows you the level of technical understanding the guy has. Yick. Nerds everywhere, cringe.

Yah, so that's what I've been doing. Today, I'm going to figure out my wardrobe for espana. Must plan carefully. Allright, that's it. Gotta go get some grubs.

Must keep congratulating myself on the "subtle" drinking in public approach with using the coffee mugs. Fun to be drunk so "early" ....late for us.... in the morning. Will definitely do that again.

Wait, are those trees...BREATHING?! Must be Absinth!

Ah, absinth is fun. I reccommend it. Not only does it have a lovely liccorice taste (which would be horrible if it were say, a jelly bean, but is good when in liquid form) but it also has a really cool floaty sort of drunk....so trees sort of breathe, and the world ripples as you walk. YEEEHEE! Fun! Many thanks to the Douche (aka A-man) for providing me with such a lovely insight.

We planned to get trashed after work today...er, yesterday...err, nocturnal time, for all us vampires on the night shift...but ended up not getting trashed, and drinking almost all his 190-proof absinth from my ucla "coffee" mugs and walking around the deserted campus really early in the morning. Ha ha, A-man kept saying we were like old couples walking around drinking coffee in the morning...except we drank absinth. Dude, actually saw some old peepz walking around down bruinwalk, and cracked up. We wandered down bruinwalk, sat and swore at annoying squirrels there (across from kerkoff) who wouldn't shut the fuck UP, wandered over to anderson and sat at the drainage grate for the stream up there, then wandered back up the back road to the dorms in the middle of the road.

Oh, and then we went to covel for breakfast, and had TEA (with caffeine, yeah, i'm so fucked right now) and omlettes and donuts and fruit and stuff... after lying on the concrete in front of covel for like 15 minutes waiting for the dining hall to open. And having people walk by and stare at us. And they smiled too, 'cuz we were talking really loud about random things and making all our usual obscene sexual references, ha ha.

My feet got all numb from the absinth, so I couldn't feel the cold water from all the dew on the grass we walked on. ha ha, yeah. Ooo, and at the dining hall we saw those two japanese chicks we dealt with on the late shift who didn't speak a WORD of english and shit, and convinced the nice dining ladies in covel to just let them in....ha ha. They wanted to know when they had to catch their ride back to japan, and we didn't know how to tell them...yeee...so adam called in Ari and the mad japanese skills, ha ha. Oh, and drew a lotta pictures. (that was at work, yeah)

Saw little one today! HOORAY!! We hoofed it like MOFO's down to in'n'out (ohgod, worship!) for animal style burgers and fries, then back up the hill as fast as possible...Eh, who cares if I was a little late! I called it in. I love spending time with Totran. We always have such fun things to talk about (mostly the bums hanging around near the in'n'out while we were eating) and giggle over... Eventhough I wasn't looking too cute (icky hair, i'm gonna GET you!) and she TOTALLY was. Aww, I gotta lot to live up to there. Yee. Must endevour to develop a NORMAL cute fashion sense. I'm just to weird to do so, I think. Oh well! Artistic peepz are kinda whacky that way, y'kno? We just don't care what others think. Must cultivate this "sublime indifference"--more absinth, maybe?

I burped onions for the first four hours of the shift. ha ha! YUM.
Oh, and then soda, more soda...um, yeah.

Heh, so that's my update. Oh, going to spain soon. Fucking spanish consulate, giving me flak, gotta go home and get financial info for them to process my stupid visa. Ridiculous. So now, it does me no good to get one. ARRG. Whatta waste, They start to proccess it, then say, "Oh no, can't do it because you don't have THIS..blah blah." Utter crap, I tell you.

Dad bugging me about coming home via aim. Heh. He must miss me. Soon enough, soon enough.

Talked to Heather the other day, sounded like she's busy with the studying. Honestly, I think the girl will do JUST fine on those bloody law school tests of hers, and nip off to some HORRENDOUSLY prestigious college-or-other. Ha! Just wait, I know I'm right!

Haven't heard much from Julie in spain...some rumors of soccer playing with hot uni students. Good deal.

Was SO WONDERFUL going home last week and seeing the homies...Krystle, Molly, Sherri, Tamara, Kelli, Anne! Love them, can't wait to spend more time with them. Went and got tea/hot coco with Molly last friday at the block at orange, wandered around there until like 1am, then went home. I love talking to her, she's such a creative lovely person. Will be keeping in touch with her more often, even if it's only to harass her with mail and stuff. Same with Krystle. Was a little hard to do last year, (okaaay, i was lazy) with her in europe or wherever. Talked to sherri some too.

I think college has really agreed with Tamara as well, she seems much less frenetic, more calm and insightful after several shitty "roommates from hell" over the past few years. God, can't believe how much I missed talking to those girls. Really amazing to see how they've changed, especially Sherri! She dyed her hair blond! And of course, still favors the revealing cleavage outfits, but I love her so it's all good. I'll be the blah one! No flesh showing, no sirree. I'm too white for that. I'd scare everyone off with the nuclear white-ass-ness. 'Sides, she has nice, um, boobs, and should flaunt them if she's got 'em!

Yahhaaa~! Okay, more blogging shall once again commence...after the long dry spell there for a month or so...yeah.
