being unemployed the past 3 weeks has really given me a lot of time to perfect my skills.
My sleeping in skills.
My mario kart skills.
My never wearing a bra skills.
My making 3 meals a day out of whatever is in the kitchen and not eating out skills.
But mostly, I'm bored out of my mind. I've been job hunting daily, I've sent out hundreds of resumes. I'm completely out of money. It's not fun or easy.
People keep saying they're jealous of my free time. I tell them to buy me dinner.

im going to hawaii next week!!!! i'll going to kauai for for 5 days for my dads wedding on the 28th. im so excited with how everything came together for this trip.... i've never been before!!
today was "to write love on her arms" day. i sorta forgot that i had done it. i always thought twloha was some stupid scene hipster thing, but after reading about it i thought it was a great message to send. in middle school i was a cutter and a teen contributor for cosmogirl magazine. they ran a story about cutting which i wrote a response to that was published. my family knew i was "working" for cosmogirl and would pick it up every now and then to see if any of my submissions were published my aunt saw my response where i proclaimed that i was a cutter and freaked out called everyone in my family. there was an intervention. it was awful. this was in 1999. I was dealing with typical teen angst and depression and their anger just made it worse. how dare i embarass them like that in a national pubication!!! seriously. that was their response. thankfully, with the help of counseling and good friends I stopped hurting
myself and gained some self respect and self confidence. I can only imagine how inspiring it would have been to me in 1999 to have something like to write love on her arms to show me that i was not alone and to help me deal.
any ways, goodnight sgland. and in case i don't write before i leave, aloha!

Its so springy outside! I bought a fun new romperjumper thing i thought was a dress at target. went to the driving range with my best friend and planted some pretty flowers!!!
I also found so many cute springyfun nail polishes.
I think it's time to go sit outside and have a drink and day dream about summer.

The days when it's a perfect 75 degrees outside and i'm stuck in my office are the worst. I've joked with my boss about getting cordless phones and conducting business by the pool.... now I'm thinking it's a serious threat.
I cannot wait for summer, can it be here now please??
glasses, y/n?
Some of the new decor in our apartment....
My Korean exhcange students - they leave in 2 months!!
I'm so sad, I kind of feel like taking them all over with me in the next 2 months. They're coming to Oregon with me in May and I want to take them to Santa Cruz...any other suggestions? They love San Francisco...

They love San Francisco...awesome weekend filled with decorating the living room, an unsuccessful board game party but very successful beer pong party, new friends, easter, rain, and roomie time.
I think it was almost perfect. I could live without being so tired and without the headache i've got right now. I hate working six days a week, it means i try to cram way too much in to my 32 hour weekend. It's usually worth it though.

trying to make my apartment feel like home. This means buying lots of cheap frames and weird stuff from thrift stores and lusting after the ikea catalog and hitting up lots of garage sales. I love finally being able to decorate the living room. My room is such a temple, and the rest of my house is so blllarrrggh. Yay for having a roommate who shares the vision.
Trying to figure out the weekend. House warming party for new roomie on Saturday. Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town on Sunday maybe? I really want to go back out to San Francisco with my friend Jeremy for his birthday. I can't believe I used to drive out to the bay every weekend, and now I go months without it. I miss the friends and the adventures I had there. I miss going to shows and random bonfires and delicious burritos and shopping trips. I think this summer I'm going to make the bay area more of a habit because it's too close to not do.
Speaking of summer, here's my list of places I want to visit this summer:
Top left is the Oakland Zoo. I've never been there and I hear its amazing. Top middle is camping at the Russian Gulch. Top right is hollywood. No real reason, I've just never been in the summer.
Then Lake Tahoe because its so close and we never go. Then alcatraz because I've never been there and always wanted to. Bottom left is a picture of the McKenzie River in Oregon because I plan on spending as much time in oregon as possible this summer. I'd like to drive up to Portland at least once, hence the voodoo. And finally Fairytale Town in Sacramento, because I haven't been since I was a kid and I loved it so much. I think it's all fairly doable. I'll be happy if I can hit 6 out of 8 before September.
Here are a few pictures from my trip to Oregon..
I got my hair done, it's blonder than it's ever been, so that's why theres a random picture of my being really happy in there.
My Dad lives in a small town about 30 minutes outside of Eugene called Vida Oregon. It's right on the McKenzie River and he crosses the Goodpasture Covered Bridge to get to and from work everyday. It's sort of his dream come true; a house on the McKenzie River. I'm really happy for him.
As much as I love Oregon, I think I love California more... there's so much great stuff to do all around here. I don't know. we'll see how it goes. I joked last night that if I wasn't in a relationship in 2 years I'm moving up there. Of course, moving there will have nothing to do with boys. But not moving there might...

so, i guess i'm back on sg.
it could have something to do with the random 3 month membership that came up in my email a couple months ago or the new computer i have.
i guess i kind of just missed the community. i really loved sg while i was here before, but my real life took a talespin and now i think i'm back on top.
or at least i'm getting there.
i missed having a sort of secret or private place to blog or share things that i don't feel like tweeting or tumbling or facebooking or any other social networking. sg is a special sort of place i guess.
so yeah. i've been living in davis again for about 10 months but it feels like forever. I'm coming up on one year at my job at this really nice apartment complex in davis. i live with two pretty chill guys and i spend most of my time hiding out in my room or out with my friends. single. not really dating, but some disastrous attempts that make for good stories.
oh, and i play a shit load of pokemon.
so yeah. that catches you up i guess. sure, lots has happened since i left SG before. But the past is the past, all that middle stuff - it's great material but not worth getting in to right now.
its good to be back.
