Every story should begin with, and then I got my second wind.

Dawn is home and I have 1 follower! whoopie!

Kelz and I went to Target and found some fabulous shoes. We danced in her car. I don't know what I would do without her. We are just too funny together. Smart and final? Dumb and Temporary! K- Like many of my jobs. R- Like many of my boyfriends. Man she cracks me up! We got some amazing blue shoes and pranced around target for a while. Came home and for some reason I was drained. But now, of course, I have my second wind. Driving back with Dawn was fun though, her stories made me crack up. "Hey Jasmine, look moose poop, and it's REALLY fresh." "Dawn that IS NOT moose poop, it's BEAR poop!!" Then she brought me back a shot glass and the BEST hat. I love that she is my sister, especially because we have had the, "would you be my friend if we weren't related" talk. We wouldn't. Not that it's bad, many people can attest to that. But I'm glad somehow we ended up being related.

Hopefully some fun celebrations tomorrow as well, Kelz and Glo moving to their new place. I am beyond excited for them, expect me to keep a pillow and toothbrush over there. But also a little bummed, the house will be empty again since Dawn moves out in a couple weeks. Then it's only me and my mom here, like it was in the beginning. It's fine, I mean my moms cool, she doesn't get all crazy about where I am or what I do I just feel that it's my time. Don't know why but it is. I'm ready to move on with this part of my life, this room where SO much has happened. It's like I look over and can see scenes of my life float by. With all this talk about friendship (HIGH FIVE) ahem, I actually have this idea I will soon be implementing, ABC's of friends, I try to talk about a good friend from each letter of the alphabet, how we met, what I like about them, and some maybe funny stories of times we shared. So check back in the blogs to come.

Shout out to my newest musician obsession Jaymay. Sea green, See blue. My goodness.

Music to my ears

My neighbors never cease to amaze me.  

They are blasting "Happy happy happy birthday" right now.  Which actually the only thing I have enjoyed all night.  I couldn't even sleep earlier and hearing EVERY word of their conversations isn't helping.  My favorite part of tonight was hearing some guy dry heave like 3 times next to the fence and some other guy saying, "dude that was nasty!"  Followed by midnight grunts.  I think they have some sort of clothes rack ahem, I mean exercise machine/punching bag out there.  It's a love hate relationship for sure.  I love to hate them.  But I guess whatever keeps life interesting.  ......right?

Spent some time at the beach today with the brothers Verdin.  Haven't seen those guys in a while.  We came to the conclusion that Albertos does not only serve deliciously amazing rolled tacos but also saves lives by pumping drunk people with deliciously amazing (life saving) grease which in turn absorbs the alcohol that they have consumed (which might possibly be on par with Chuck Norris' repeated round house kicks to their livers).  So thanks Albertos.  KB and GD were home so I hung out for a little and we all watched this show called "Didn't know I was Pregnant" it was pretty epic, and the reenactments were sheer oscar qualifying. 

Stay classy.  Just like this lovely hat I found and put on my head, probably after 20 other people did.  Yes. 

Turn and face the strain

It's been growing inside me lately.  This feeling.  This quarter life crisis I suppose.  Screaming it's time to grow up.. I stood in front of my closet today and had the sudden urge to take all my clothes and throw them into a bag and get rid of them all.  I don't know how well walking around without any clothes on would go over, but I'm starting to slowly bag up things I've been attached to, like oh well when I go salsa dancing I can wear this.  I haven't gone salsa dancing in a few years, and when I did, I did not wear that dress.  I want to get classier pieces.  So I may be sucking it up and spending a little more on clothes, although you can never go wrong with a quick trip to Ross now and then.  But my clothes are just the beginning of it.  I want to get rid of it all, sell it, burn it hah (looks down at my Anthropology book that is in pieces).  Take the posters off my wall, the bottles off my shelf.  For days now I've been contemplating moving out, craigslist searching, but it would be tough.  I know I could save more money staying home but it's coming up 3 years I've been home now and I'm ready.  I think I've been ready for a while now.  I'm also re thinking grad school and then re thinking my re thinking.  I think I will apply in the fall but I'm going to look at more places and more programs.  I'm ready to get off my lazy ass and finish projects, ideas, lots of things.  I feel the old Rose slowly coming back, the one who worked all season in cross country my freshman year to run a 7 minute mile exactly.  The one who finished school in 3 1/2 years.  I'm slowly lighting a fire under my ass and working on making my life more than wishing I did this or that but doing it.  Don't want much from anyone else this year, now I'm hoping for things from myself. 

Another thing you'll want to stare at all day long.

SERIOUSLY.

WHO comes up with this stuff?!?!?!   God I almost vomited when I saw this priceless piece of advertising today.  Okay I lied, I did in fact vomit, but only a little in my mouth.  Then I found 5 dollars.

God I love picking up other people's sayings.  And saying them.  Half the time no one gets the reference and I'm sure think I am a weirdo.  Whatever, I am.  I came up with a new saying yesterday, I think it's going to take off.  bognar.  bo-gnar.  My buddy was talking about gnar and then he said sognar.  sonar.  So I said bognar.  It was pretty miraculous.  

I bought a new piano book at Target on Sunday.  I am beyond excited.  Now If I could only get some time to sit at the piano and play!  I haven't had a night at home in so long I can't remember.. that made no sense, but tis true. 

Aight off to go feed myself.  I ate a bowl of mash potatoes for dinner and some granola.  Yay for malnutrition.  Time for a sandwich.

Weekend Antics.

I'm finally DONE. son. Anthro class is finished.

After slinking in last night, or should I say this morning, at 3am, waking up in a panic at 8am ( I could have sworn I fell asleep with gum in my mouth and when I woke up it wasn't there, this was quickly followed with a frantic hair, pillow, bed search for it, no dice, I think I threw it out before I went to bed) and then driving off to Anaheim with Kelsey to meet with Vero and Martitas, I am pretty wiped. I also had to finish my anthropology test too, gross.

Last night was fun. interesting. but fun, we had a movie premiere in Encinitas and we all hit the bar afterwards. I now know what the drink I like is called, a dirty Shirley Temple, awesome. The roomie reunion was SO MUCH fun, we spent an hour in starbucks reminiscing about that one amazing year at school when we got into all sorts of trouble, that was right before a lot of things changed in my life. When I was still young and crazy and free, we had so many great times at the dorms, makes me sad to think it's gone. We saw Julie and Julia. Pretty good, I think some ladies were about to fight in the theatre too, we got excited and I thought there might be a show after the show if you know what I mean. But no, no swings were made. Oh well, one can only wish my life was that exciting, hah. It was great catching up with the girls, like we'd never been apart and we're planning more of these impromptu meet ups :) Now I am taking a moment to do something I like to do. And that is ramble in this crazy space online, Julie/Julia made me think about all this blogging stuff actually. Made me wonder why and do it and who I expect to read it. It's always a bit scary because it does go into this vast open world, one in which you have no control over. Like who sees it or how they interpret it. Anyblahs, Kelsita and I had some great conversations on the way home tonight about life in general and it made me feel nice to have someone understand my view point. We talked a lot about being happy in our own lives and working on what we want in life. Good times. Lots of laughs.

As for the rest of the weekend I have some MAJOR room cleaning to do, maybe some apartment hunting with Kelz? She's moving down here soon so I want to help her out. Perhaps some Ikea roaming tomorrow? For now I'm going back into the living room, breaking out the sangria and relaxing on this fine Saturday evening.

Good night and good luck.

Blerbs

So I've written and re written like 5 different posts. But I'm always afraid to put them up.. I often wonder if I share too much of my life on these things, spoil the mystery of myself by revealing too much, like a girl in slutty clothes. Nothing left to the imagination I guess, all I know is I finally made a needed call tonight, so I feel a bit better now, and a little shitty too. I needed to cut some of the ropes dragging me down, be reborn, or baptized? Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not a concept, the image people have of me, I don't think it's always right.. I like to let out bits and pieces but no one has put together the puzzle just yet. I'm too tired to think anymore and stressed because I have SO much to get done for class. Seeing No Doubt was one of the best nights ever, Gwen, your abs are amazing, I hate you :P Family game night was great as always too. Off to fall asleep on my book.
