The weather was rainy & gorgeous today<3 Went ice skating in La Jolla for Victoria’s (extended) birthday celebration! Drove up there with Victoria, Kim, Robby, Blake & Brian. Met up there with Vico, Ximena, Trey, Zack, Ed, Ruben, Josalle, Jeffrey, Tina, & James. I’m pretty much a wuss when it comes to ice skating. LOL @ holding on to Blake’s hand (& other willing peoples’) for dear life 50% of the time. I only fell once! But that was because Robby & Brian were messing with me, those jerks, haha-! The ice skating music included Wonderwall (first song that was playing), some Miley Cyrus crap, No Doubt’s Just A Girl, Ryan Cabrera, and… I don’t remember what else. Afterwards, we ate at Red Robin (YUMMMMMMMMMMMM). I ordered a bacon cheeseburger… YUMMMMMMMMMMMM. I love Red Robin. Never ending refills on drinks AND fries?! Amazing. Throwing sugar packets and inhaling helium balloons are fun. After that, we all went our separate ways; me, Victoria, Kim, Robby, Blake & Brian went back to Robby’s casa and played with his kickass synth, and watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. LOL @ tug of war with Robby’s sock, that’s some pretty intense stuff right there. After THAT, we dropped Kim off and got Taco Bell. Drove to the airplane wing park -AKA Montgomery Waller- and watched people boning in the car parked across from us while nom nom noming on food. T’was a good Saturday indeed. OH YEAH! New game, which is called “chap,” hee hee.
MF PWNS
Medford Falling was amazing last night-! Me and Victoria met up at Val’s casa with Robby, Laura, Jessika, Gina, Kevin, Casey, Moriah (and of course, Val). LOL @ Laura’s holler to that guy as we drove to the back of Soma. Victoria and I met our new “biffle” (LOL) Amantha while everyone was setting up for the show. We had interesting talks in that one dark hallway next to the kite shop. MF’s set was kick-ass, and I’m glad I got to hear my new favorite song by them performed live
After their set, Victoria, Amantha & I went to In-N-Out and sat around talking for about an hour. We drove back to Soma and sat talking in Amantha’s car some more, then eventually met up with everyone else after the show was over.
A bunch of us met up at Casey’s casa for “ghost” stories and hookah fun, wished Victoria a happy 18th birthday at midnight, and around 1:30ish Amantha drove me & Victoria home. I’m hella excited for next week’s MF show in Anaheim!
HOMECOMING & STUFF [2]
Saturday was good, to say the least.
I had the house to myself all morning, which I loved. Geez, I can’t wait until I get my own place. God knows when that’ll be. (I really don’t want to forget about this… so here’s a side note: I was really giggly because I was looking at some new reblogs on Tumblr, and I heard my mom say to my dad “I have bread inside the car… do not esmush it.” LOL @ my mom’s Spanish accent peeking out at the end of that sentence. I really can’t explain why, but that just made me really giggly for the rest of the morning.)
I got ready for Mila’s 2nd birthday/costume party & had phone talk with James- the majority of the conversation included discussion about Mafia Wars/Myspace, like always, lol. I also spent a good 15 minutes looking for the damn wrapping (no, not rapping, lol James) paper for Mila’s gift. Turns out it was in the first place I looked.
Here’s another LOL, before I forget… I was about to get picked up by Kim (while still on the phone) and said bye to my mom as I was heading out the door; *puts phone down* ME: “Kim’s gonna give me a ride to the party, I wrote down the address by the computer. I’ll call you later.” MOM: “Okay… cover up!” [referring to my cleavage... {which wasn't really so cleavage-y at all, I swear}] *shuts door, returns attention to phone* JAMES: “Tell your mom I said thank-you.” ME: “For what? OH! For telling me to cover up cleavage?!” LOL. That was a good phone talk, he made me smile & giggle, like always<3
I only managed to stay at Victoria’s nana’s casa for a few hours. Had some jumps in the bounce house with Vico, Robby, Victoria, Kim, Mila & Brian. (LOL @ Robby’s sickass milkshake superhero costume, BTW. Very kickass.) I’m super excited for Halloween, even though I’m not going to Jack’s Mannequin anymore *tear* But, hay! Trick-or-treating is going to be really fun. I’ve been on a sweet craze lately, so the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
I headed home around 5ish to rush and get ready for homecoming. The directions given in the invitation
were shit, but we found the place okay. Xander, Savannah, Erica & Gabriel were the first few (out of the people I actually knew) to arrive, then everyone else started showing up. I felt dizzy as soon as I got on the boat, and I knew that if I were to leave my 3 inch+ heels on, it’d be the death of me. It was a really nice boat- 4 levels: the bathroom on the lowest level, the dance floor on the second, the “galley” on the third, and the top was open space for seats and stuff.
The DJ pretty much sucked ass. There’s really no other way to describe that. Not many of the songs he played were as fun & dancy as I would have liked them to be. I requested ‘Hot In Herre’ (yes, the Nelly song) at the beginning of the dance and I don’t think he even gave playing that a second thought. It would have been a total LOL moment if he had played it… I mean, it would be completely appropriate since the dance floor was a sweat fest to begin with. I was also disappointed because he didn’t play ‘Swing’ or ‘It’s Tricky.’ LAME. LOL @ dancing with James during a mariachi song. That was the only real one-on-one dance I actually had that night, the rest was a bunch of nasty freaking with Tina, Ruben, Josalle, Yvonne, Jeffrey, Robin… and a bunch of other people I’m too lazy to recall. Damn. I really have no rhythm, it’s horrible, LOL. *Note to self: take dancing classes in preperation for my wedding… wouldn’t want to make a fool of myself with my lack of dancing skills.* Another lame thing was the fact the DJ didn’t play any slow songs… except for one at the end of the night when everyone was getting off the boat. Me & Jeff danced for like 15 seconds, hah!
Poor Tina was seasick during the dance. I had a headache all night, but hey… when do I NOT have a headache, right? I’m surprised I didn’t get all woozy like I usually do on boats, that was nice. I really enjoyed sitting out on the deck with the breeze of the cold ocean air. It wasn’t remotely close to Titanic at all, but I couldn’t help but think about that in the back of my mind. At one point when we were in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere, it was pitch black on the water and the fog
was really rolling in… it was creepy since you couldn’t see anything. I began thinking about The Mist and went back inside, lol. We got back around 11ish, and it was foggy all over town, which I enjoyed immensely. James was mine & Jeffrey’s ride home. We were waiting around the harbor for about an hour-ish until James’ sister picked us up. I was hella tired and hella scrubby. The puppy dog curls were gone and my hair was almost completely straight. The bottom of my feet were black and dirtied from walking around barefoot all night long. As much as I suck at dancing, homecoming was really fun, and I’m glad I went
QUARANTINE, PLP & CARAMEL APPLES
Friday, October 10– “Date night” with Victoria! My mom didn’t believe me when I said I saw someone giving away a free big screen TV, hah! Walked around in hopes of picking up job applications for decent stores… all we got was Claire’s and Pac Sun. FAIL. I still really want to work at Game Stop… NO MATTER WHAT! Robby & Blake decided to join us to watch Quarantine, which totally scared the shit out of me. I’ve never jumped or screamed so much at the movies (that I can remember). I really liked it and I can’t wait until it’s playing at the Navy Base for free, hahah. Those new bastard kitten heels left my feet screaming by the end of the night, so I had no choice but to walk around Plaza Bonita mall barefoot. YUCK.
Saturday, October 11– Spent most of the day doing nothing. I got ready for The Parking Lot Proposal’s show and realized that I was practically starving, so I called Victoria up to see if she wanted to walk to Taco Bell and get some food before we left. YEARS LATER we met up at the intersection and walked down Coronado together… less than 5 minutes later we realized that it was pretty chilly and we were both idiots who forgot our cardigans at home. I got my “usual” at Taco Bell (two cheesy double beef burritos and a Sierra Mist… the raspberry iced tea tasted disgusting). We wasted so much time there while we waited for Josalle to pick us up. I wasted a good $3 (possibly more) on temporary tattoos. We kept going back and forth to the register asking for quarters in exchange for our dimes and nickels, like the losers we are. By the time we left, we were covered in bloody/gore tattoos, and other manly-type stuff. We got semi-lost on the way to Fashion Valley mall with Ruben, Jeffrey & Josalle, but we made it! PLP was amazing, like always, and I finally met their new singer, Jessika. Blake made me “anti-depressant” cookies, which is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me in a long time :3
After the show, me, Ruben, Jeffrey, Josalle, and Victoria walked around Mission Valley mall, which was kind of lame, because I could have sworn that mall had two floors… but apparently the first level is just parking structure, haha. I wasted $8 at The Sweet Factory: a jawbreaker and a dozen (or so) of blue gummy sharks.
Sunday, October 12– Went to church, as usual. Kim got dropped off and we went to the Eastlake mall with my mom, because she wanted to steal recipes from some cook books for work. We spent a couple hours in the kid’s section of Barnes and Noble, having crazy throwbacks to elementary school with all the book browsing. I wish books weren’t so damn expensive :C
We walked around the rest of the mall, LOL @ a bunch of baby teens asking us if there was an Abercrombie store. HAH. FUNNY. We attempted to take pictures in the Apple store, but had no idea how to work a Mac, so we stepped inside that one Rocky Mountain chocolate shop, or whatever it’s called, and feasted our eyes on mouth-watering, delicious caramel apples… we gave in and decided to split one. It was HEAVEN. After, we looked around in Anthropologies, this cute boutique with over-priced deliciously scented candles, clothing & miscellaneous home furnishings.
LOPEZ x3
Thursday, October 2– Made some brownies and met up with Victoria. We got some cookies & cream ice cream from Northgate and attempted to study for the SAT subject tests at her casa. “Term alert!” OH MAN. &LOL @ the literature book having an Alice In Wonderland example question! Chattered about Heroes a bit; I saw one of the season endings and some guy got shot. Mila cried because I was a monster (apparently).
Friday, October 3– Cleaned my room like cuh-razy! It looks really nice when it’s not cluttered. Victoria, Robby & Blake came over and I made ‘em some spaghetti and I dominated in a game of Wii bowling. Watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist at Chula mall Ultra Star, then bought some Arizona & a huge barrel of pretzels at CVS.
Saturday, October 4– Wake-up call to start off my day. I watched Adventures In Babysitting while I got ready for the SATs. Got hash browns at Mc Donald’s. NOM NOM NOM. The SAT subject tests were pretty easy, but it was a stupid move NOT taking the bio part of the exam and opting for history. After, we made a quick stop at Blockbuster, then Mervyn’s. Ate some of THE most delicious pizza from Mike’s, and accepted a last-minute quince invitation for Manny’s sister, Jo. Got ready at my house & stuff… Victoria’s new nickname is Judas, haha! It was a really fun party, and they had a chocolate fountain! Jo looked like a princess. Yvonne, Lorena, Ruby & Avila were there too, and we stepped outside while it was drizzling to say hello to Robby, Mando & Val.
