*Sings Lion King song*

Really, though, it is nearly 1 am and my sister decides, at the last minute, that, hey, that sucase is way too big and gets another from upstairs to repack. She should have figured this out before. She still hasn’t given me her music, which I need to put on my laptop/iTunes. No, she will wait until I am asleep or until tomorrow when I’m cleaning and getting the last few things together. She got home after midnight. EDEN, GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER. I only care about the last part, though. I want to get as much out of the way today as possible.

Who gets to clean up after the cat tomorrow? Me. Eden won’t. I had to clean up after her pets last time we went on a trip because she was putting on makeup at the last minute. ARGH. She says she wants to borrow my DS. Who gets to charge it and cart it around? Me. Guess who’ll be playing it fer real? ME! A childish, sisterly rant, I know, but I don’t care! I am annoyed. I’m also annoyed that this program is taking so long to convert my shows for ze iPod. Whatever.

All that aside, I’m excited. Apparently LA isn’t that exciting, but I don’t care. I want to see the ocean and take loads of pictures. I want to roast marshmallows. I want to get out of here for a while! That’s all. I hate cities and will probably hate LA as much.

I spent part of the evening upgrading and updating my sites. I cleaned out e-mails and files. I feel so organized!

Work was tiresome today. I was doing floor stuff for the first part. Two ladies called me “love,” which was nice. Even if I was in their way. While I was packaging cookies, I found one with a sad face (chocolate chips ftw). As well, someone in Grocery was throwing bottles in the compactor and every bottle made a dum dum CHU! sound and I found myself murmuring “We will we will rock you” and felt only a little silly for it.

Goodnight, kids. See y’all tomorrow.

LOL She comes into my room to ask where my flashdrive is. She doesn’t even have a flashdrive.

I forgot that the fourth years beat me to some of my classes last year. I registered this morning and got into everything. I am still unhappy with my one of my history choices (Latin America).

[11:59 am]

Chino decided to sleep on my bed last night. I accidentally squished him bolting out of bed when the alarm clock went off so I could register. I think he is mad at me still. He scratched my hand when I tried to pet him just now. Why, Chino, would you curl up on my bed all cute-like with your belly exposed? It was a trap!

I love this playlist. I tried to compile all the songs I listen to right now. I realized how quiet and calm everything was.

I can officially say that I am leaving for my grandparents’ house tomorrow! I babbled to my boss that my holiday doesn’t start until Wednesday and now I work 1-6 tomorrow. I didn’t want to say no because I really would like the money!  I also need to wake up early tomorrow to register for my classes. I am determined to get into all of them this time. Wondering if I will or not will bother me until tomorrow… We shall see! I also need to call Krystle tomorrow morning.

My sister waited until late tonight to get the suitcase from Mike. They couldn’t find a small one. She brought home one that was exactly the same size as mine, which I traded in for her smaller one so she could borrow Mike’s. I wish she had found this out earlier. We don’t have room for a suitcase that big! I suggested she put her sleeping bag inside it. I’m still contemplating whether or not to sneak my laptop there. I think I need two weeks away from a computer! Again, we shall see.

Time for bed! I hope hope hope things go smoothly tomorrow.

This video will haunt me for a really long time. It’s a video of a girl, called Neda,  dying on the street at a protest rally in Iran, so don’t click the link if you would rather not see any violence. I heard about it on the news and decided to look it up.

During the beginning of service at my church, the little kids are called to the front and are told a story. Today a man was telling them a story about farm animals. He pulled out a stuffed cow and asked, “Where do you get milk from?” One little girl yelled, “THE BOOB!” The man told her she sure knew a lot.

TV show ramblings: I watched season premiere of True Blood. Totally not the same as Twilight. Vampires are still not my thing, but I am addicted to the show. As for shows I have stopped watching… Marian is coming back to Robin Hood! Maybe (and for just one episode). They killed her off last season and I really dislike the new female character. Way to be a family show, guys, and killing off Marian!

Oh how I have missed my Friends marathons.

My helix is infected again. The pinching feeling came back and, well, all the other stuff. Not as badly as before, though. I smothered it with sea salt and Bactine and tied my hair back. When oh when can I sleep on my ear? I got it pierced at the end of April!I have been nothing but nice to it! If anything, my nose should be swollen and puffy. I keep accidentally forgetting and scratching it. Ah, the warm water and salt made it feel better =)

I packed most of my stuff. Eden said I could use her suitcase (she is borrowing Mike’s). It’s smaller than my blue one, which is good. I also packed all the little teeny bottles of shampoo and stuff. I am so excited. I have this irrational fear that my camera will break before we get down there. I am not kidding, I have recurring nightmares about it. I don’t know why. It would be tragic if I had four memory cards and no camera. My mom told me to watch out for sharks.

My mom and her friend made some awesome filipino food tonight. Rice, eggplant, bok-choi, green beans, mushrooms, soy sauce… yummy. I haven’t had a proper, cooked meal in a while.

Work 3:30-9:30 tomorrow. Not a bad shift, I guess. I hate staying so late, but I get there after the morning shift leaves, my boss won’t be there, Tyler works at 2 (I think), and there are fewer customers at around 9. I don’t have to go in so early. I can grab my traditional muffin and coffee and just go to work.

I should go to bed, but I can’t seem to bring myself to go to sleep just yet. If they schedule me at work Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, which usually happens, then tomorrow is my last free day for a while. As soon as I am back from my trip, I have a few weekdays to possibly work and then it’s the wedding. I feel like I’m wasting time if I go to bed even though I have to wake up earlier tomorrow.

Today I went shopping. I looked for a black hoodie because I no longer have one (that’s mine, anyway) and I found one for 11$! I was so excited. Not something crappy from Urban Planet, either. I wanted one to keep warm and that would go with anything. I also found my favorite flip-flops on sale and bought two pairs. Then I bought a skirt… and shoes. Yesterday (or the day before) I tried to wash my old running shoes. They still smell like greasy noodles (only way to describe it) and have gummy black stuff stuck to the bottoms. A week of walking in a rainy, muddy, icky city used up the last of their lives =( Jean also set them too close to the heater to dry them when they wouldn’t dry in China and there are plastic bubble-y things on the ends. I should thank him because it provided me with yet another excuse to buy a new pair. This paragraph makes me sound like such a girl! I never used to shop for clothes. It wasn’t until I cleaned out 50% of my wardrobe that I started buying new clothes.

Anyway, time for bed!

Three hours to work on one of my babies. I am going to the mall with my mom today to shop for things to take with me to California.

Operation get-up-before-11 was a success despite coming home at 3:30 last night. Late night Scrabble games are hilarious. And the fact that the computer science major and “the Mexican” beat three English majors!

Today was much more eventful. Although I appreciated having a day to stay at home and work on my sites, going out once in a while is also appreciated. I woke up at 11. Apparently that means I slept all day. I had 7 hours of sleep, which is not all day. I rather like being up when people in my house are asleep. I hate being watched and I hate the little comments that imply that what I am doing is not what I should be doing. I mean, I do whatever chores I do in a day and I do them regardless of when I go to sleep and when I wake up. End of rant.

At 2:30, my dad drove me to the bus. Just as we were leaving the house, I realized I had forgotten my debit card. This was blamed on the fact that I should have been up earlier. I should have been remembering to take my stuff with me in those three hours I slept in for. No, I am just very forgetful. He said we were leaving at 2:30 and got angry when I wasn’t ready at 2:20. I was flustered and I dared to argue back this time, which just made me cower even more. End of second rant.

I met Dawn and Tyler at the mall and we wandered. Then we met Danny and went out to eat. After that, we went to Dawn’s house for D&D. We have the geekiest blog for it now, which is as awesome as it is embarrassing. We might play Scrabble later. We are extremely exciting. And I am tired.

I changed my blog theme again. I have been browsing endless free themes pages. A lot of themes were nice, but the graphics were too gaudy and loud (giant tweet birds for Twitter feeds/giant orange RSS buttons). I just wanted something simple and I am too lazy to fix up the other themes to my liking.

Laura also made the bestest design for Rachel Hurd-Wood Web, which I started working on this morning. It is so pretty. I started working on various information pages yesterday, trying to find out the sources for the movie quotations I collected for the film pages (thank goodness there are only, like, six). I realized how sad my biography was now that I saved as many articles and interviews as I could find (not as many as I thought) for the press archive. I wonder if I should hold off posting the new layout until I post the other pages (maybe I will actually get around to editing them to be less boring in order to look nice with everything else). I also found some private pictures of her by accident while searching for a photoshoot. Glad I decided to not post any! People are already mean enough about her as it is. Oh! We finally got a new picture from Dorian Gray! Ah, the ramblings of a fansite owner.

I like finding shopping lists at work. I like to laugh at spelling errors, abbreviations, and the seemingly random nature of it all. I decided to post lists I find here. I know lists are boring, but I personally get a kick out of them!

Shaving cream.
Vanilla chi-big.
Banana’s
Canned fruit.
Peaches.
Pear’s.
frozen rasp.
fish.
chocolate bars. Brandon
necterines.

I told Dawn I would post about my scary dream. It’s been weeks since I watched the finale of Battlestar Galactica, but elements of it somehow crept into my dreams! My mom and I were on a spaceship, which now reminds me of the gates at the Vancouver airport. We were lost in space and trying to communicate with Admiral Adama/Edward James Olmos. I was speaking into a phone, trying to get him to find us. We needed to give him our position on a grid of sorts, or our coordinates, but had no idea where we were. So my mom hooked herself up to some wires, clips attached to both hands, and electrocuted herself. I started crying into the phone, saying that I didn’t want her to do this, but this was the only way our ship would ever be found! Numbers appeared in her palms and they were our position. She sacrificed herself for the ship! It was tragic, so tragic.
