dude, where the hell did the week go? i can't believe it's already thursday night!!! anyway, last weekend was pretty fun. i mostly hung out w/ rick and his family and partook in the graduation celebrations. i took friday off of work, woo-hoo!! it was good times. what was pretty cool was that i had already met pretty much everyone that was in his entourage (hehe...which was exactly what it was...not counting me and rick, there were still 13 ppl who came for his graduation!!). but it was pretty much just a chill, kick back weekend, mostly just hanging out. and now it's almost the weekend again. dang. don't know where all the time is going. but i have another 3 day weekend coming up! woo-hoo! let's give it up for memorial day!

awww...chris unblocked me from his aim buddy list! yay!! i just got home from watching matrix reloaded, and i saw that there he was on my buddy list, just signing on. i knew that he wouldn't im me cuz my away message was still up, and i definitely wanna chat w/ him, but i really need my sleep right now. and somehow a quick "hi" wouldn't seem appropriate after such a long period of non-communication (not counting that one phone call we had not too long ago). so i shall wait for another time. but yay!

i'm sad. for stupid little reasons that i know i shouldn't be letting get to me. *sigh* i've just been too overly emotional lately. it feels like i've been walking around w/ a knot stuck in my throat for at least a week, if not more. but whatever. i'll get over it. i always do. so there's no point in even talking about it.

oh yay! good shopping day today! emily and i went to ross, and man, i am officially a ross fan! i got a good amount of cool stuff for so cheap!! my best find i think was this one dress that just fits soooo well. oh, i'm so happy! i never find good stuff, especially at places like ross. but today was good. yay!

anyway, emily pointed out today that one year ago from yesterday was my graduation day. crazy. i can not believe a whole year has gone by already. it's so weird how my perception of time has changed since i was in school. cuz back then, i totally remember counting down the days until i would be done, when i could be free of papers and tests and being stressed all the time. and time didn't necessarily feel like it was dragging or anything (especially when you have a ten page paper due and you're down to the last night and you wonder where the hell that whole month that you had to write it went), but i think maybe you're just much more aware of it. it's like you're working towards this goal, and you want time to go by, cuz then that means that you're closer to your goal. but now, the days just go by so quickly. and even though i still have a goal that i'm working towards (ie: finding a "real" job), i'm not really counting down the days, probably cuz there's no deadline, and consequently no stress. anyway, i think i'm babbling now, but point being, yeah, time has gone by so quickly since i left school.

so here i am, one year after college, and i have to say, i'm pretty satisfied with my life. i mean, i totally acknowledge that i have to work on some things (i want a real job! and i want a new car!!), but i'm doing pretty damn well, considering. i live in a rad apartment in a nice area, with cool roommates that i get along with, and i have an awesome boyfriend and friends, and i go out and i have fun, and i'm able to pay all my rent and bills on time, and i'm not living with my parents, and i'm being totally independent. and that last thing especially feels really good. i mean, i hope to one day actually be able to help support my parents, but for now it just feels really good that i'm not mooching off of them (except for the occasional meal and use of their laundry facilities). =) so even though there are definitely some struggles (like whenever my car breaks down, it totally throws my finances off), for the most part, yeah, i'm pretty proud of myself. yay me! =)

man, how is it that i always waste so much time? sheesh! i really don't know how it's almost 8:30pm already. i even woke up early today (cuz i had to take rick to the airport). hmmm...i really don't know. the only productive thing i've done today is go to rite aid and target to pick up some essentials. other than that...nothing! but whatever. i think i've pretty much accepted the fact that w/ me, things get done when i'm motivated to do them. if i'm not motivated, then there's just no point in trying, cuz nothing will get done anyway!! so yeah. whatever. go w/ the flow. i think right now i want to watch the matrix. yes, that sounds good. cuz i really wanna see the new one in the theaters when it comes out next week, so i wanna have the story fresh in my mind. oh, and i have to do laundry, too. i'll pop that in the machine before i settle down to watch my movie. then i won't feel like a total schlop. good good. yes, good plan indeed.

last night, me, emily, rick, and kevin went to the premiere of manic, the movie that joy worked on a couple summers ago. it was finally released and she was all excited about it, so i definitely wanted to go to show my support. the theater was packed, tho, and there was a line around the corner to get in, but our group got the last tickets! i was totally relieved, but it kinda sucked for the people right behind us cuz we had cut in w/ this guy, doug, that everyone knew from the cinema floor. but oh well, cuz yeah, i felt kinda bad for them, but to be honest, i felt good for me! so...yeah. but the movie was pretty good (honestly, nothing really great, but still an achievement for joy-and everyone else who worked on it-so i'm proud of her). and afterwards, we went to the premiere party at the knitting factory, which was pretty cool. again, nothing great, but it was a nice change of scene. we each got a free drink ticket for showing our movie stub, and i got two drinks cuz rick was driving and he gave me his. =) but then mostly we just danced. there was a pretty good amount of people that we knew there, too...cuz of joy, of course. and we saw the kid from 3rd rock from the sun there, cuz he's in the movie, and i guess he's the one that threw the party. hehe, he was breakdancing at one point, that was pretty funny. so yeah, it was pretty fun.

tomorrow, me and emily are going shopping, woo-hoo! i am in bad need of work clothes. i pretty much wear the same thing all the time. not that i really care all that much, being as it is just a temp job. but still, if i find something good, i'm buying it! although, i don't wanna spend too too much. but it'll be cool. and hopefully i'll still get to do something w/ my mom, i'm not really sure what's going on there. my sisters and i are really dropping the ball this mother's day. we were supposed to take her out to breakfast, which woulda worked out fine cuz then i woulda had plenty of time to shop w/ emily afterwards, but now vanessa says that she's not sure if she wants to or if my mom wants to, so i dunno. i just dunno. regardless, i think at some point i'll wanna stop by over there tomorrow, so i can at the very least wish her a happy mother's day in person. shouldn't be that big of a deal.

anyway, time for laundry and the matrix!!

dude, free ice cream and cheap bowling in one night...score!! cuz it was free scoop day at baskin robbins yesterday, and me and rick went w/ some of his neighbors, and also dom and kyla met us there later. and then after, me, rick, pat, lawrence, and dwayne went to that bowling place on pico for the wednesday night special...it worked out to about 6 bucks per person for two games, including shoes. pretty sweet deal. anyway, it was a lot of fun. lots of laughs and silliness. good times.

anyway, i'm getting more and more motivated to start applying to more places. all the job lists that i'm signed up for have been sending some pretty good job postings here and there. i seem to be getting the most interested in positions w/ non-profit organizations these days it seems, although there are a few entertainment ones that seem pretty appealing too. at first i was trying to decide which of these i should really concentrate on, like, decide right now, before i even apply, which one of these fields it is that i actually wanna work in. i was trying to make myself choose, basically. but then i decided that was kinda dumb, cuz honestly, i see lots of pros for both, which makes sense cuz that's why i'm interested in both. so now i decided that i'm just gonna apply to everything, and see what happens. cuz honestly, who knows if any of the jobs i might apply for would even want me? but anyway, i'm not really stressing about anything. the nice thing about already having a job is that i don't have to stress and i can just take my time w/ everything. and also, i can hold out for something that's really worth it, which is really awesome when you think about it. and things are going really well at my job, too. lots of pros there as well. so yeah, no career stress for me. just sittin' back, enjoying the ride, and just waiting to see what the next stop will be (and heck, if i don't like it, i can always stay on the train!).
