Okay, so today me & Victoria walked to Luzita’s for some California burritos… in matching Twilight hoodies, haha. Ruben took his precious time in meeting up with us, but he made it-! We all sat talking, then walked over to Factory2U, because it’s just standard protocol when coming home from Luzita’s. Victoria bailed on me & Ruben to watch Yes Man, that Judas. I bought a bright pink shirt that says: “FRANKIE SAYS RELAX”, and a really cute zebra print dress for like, $8 (and the shirt was $2). We breezed through Northgate really quick, in hopes of seeing James Franco, but no luck. Ruben and I eventually made it back to my house, where I gave him a haircut in my bathroom, haha. After that, we watched an episode of Maury (sex-crazed, out of control teen girls) and Superbad. Ahh, I love Superbad.
YOB HUNT
I don’t know why, but I woke up around 5AM and could not go back to sleep. I went back and forth between lying in bed listening to music, to Myspace in the computer room. Had 3 hour-ish phone talk, the longest it’s been in a while, which made me happy, even though most of the conversation was spent talking about Mobsters, lol. & I can’t believe… more or less 5 months.
After phone talk I busted out the white pages in hopes of finding some local places that would hire poor little unemployed, under-aged me. Most of the places I tried were either not hiring, or only hired at age 18 and up. I applied online for Game Crazy in Chula Vista, and when I drove my mom to Mervyn’s I applied on one of the computers at customer services. I didn’t even know they opened a new Game Stop on Saturn, but there it was… calling out to me. I was really psyched too, since the Game Stop on Palm had said they already finished hiring for the holidays. I walked in and talked with one of the employees… her name was Joelyn or something like that. She complimented my Gwen Stefani purse as soon as I walked up to her, lol; then she complimented my earrings, and then my sunglasses. We had small talk about how I got laid off at the Disney Store and stuff, and she gave me an application. She said that I shouldn’t keep my hopes too high or rely on just that store, since they already had a butt-load of applications, but I’m really hoping I get the job. I’d love working in a video game store… it’s hella nerdy, but come on, LOOK AT ME.
I was also thinking about applying at Starbucks, just not the one on Palm, because I’d hate to serve the little pukes I go to school with. AMC is also on my list of places I’d like to attempt applying at. As a last resort, I’ll apply at Levi or Nike, but for now I want to milk out all of my other options, because I want to work somewhere I love.
When I got home, I walked to Luzita’s and bought a California burrito ($4.09) and got an Arizona from Northgate, which was only $0.85(?!?!!!) Awesome. James Franco was there, but I didn’t go to his line since it was way too busy anyways. I weakly dragged myself home in the damn heat, and watched Maury… then I knocked out for 4 hours… a lovely, food coma/sleep deprivation induced nap. It was nice.
(By the way, I can’t get over how good I smell right now… thanks to Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship raspberry shampoo and that new orchid body spray from Bath & Body Works.)
ROUND ONE
Okay, let’s give this a try… I haven’t really dedicated myself to a blog in almost 2 years.
Today was pretty good; had the usual wake-up call around 6AMish, then went back to sleep. Jiao, Kim & Ruben came over and we got hella hella competitive while playing Mario Kart. Made a quick trip to Northgate so we can stare at the gorgeous James Franco look-alike. After about an hour of pacing up and down the aisles, Jiao decided to buy us a full gallon of sherbet ice cream :9
Victoria came over a little after we got back to my house, we were in the middle of another Mario Kart game before taking another ice cream break. The delicious push-pop ice cream seriously reminded me of childhood, as Kim pointed out. It was really nice to cool off with during the whack post-summer heat we get every year, and this year is no different. We played more video games, then made a trip to Luzita’s so Ruben & Jiao could get something to eat. After Luzita’s we stopped by Factory2U, where they had those cute, slutty red heels I had my eyes on the last time I went there with 007. It was only $1.99! I didn’t buy them though…
Played more video games at home, everyone saw just how excited I get while playing Resident Evil 4, hahaha. Watched 2 episodes of Maury (paternity tests & out of control teens) and played a few more rounds of RE4: Mercenaries. Everyone left & I gave James a call -he was in the middle of something, so I took a quick shower and checked Myspace, only to find that I got pwned in Mobsters. Mobsters is terribly pointless, but really amusing. I don’t know why. Anyways, James called back after having some difficulty with my whack phone and we talked for about 30 minutes. Both of us are really anxious to see each other- hopefully he’ll be back home by February or March. We need to work on a list of things to do for when he comes home. So far, I’ve got: play mini golf, have “sleepovers,” and watch Teeth.
Brad, Jiao & Hitler called me to see if I wanted to go bowling, but there was no way my mom would have let me go… at 10 PM?! Come on now, haha. As much as I would have liked to, I know I wouldn’t have been able to. I haven’t been bowling since this past summer with my cousins… and I totally won that game… with bumper guards on the gutters. I wonder how well I’d do without those…
