oh, how did I get so lucky to find you.

spoiled

2011-12-19T02:36:00.000-08:00

.. so spoiled.

an ipad 2 from my best friends and a ps3 from my boyfriend. (with apparently more gifts arriving in the mail, so he says o___O) and my mama bought me the samsung galaxy s2 phone that i've been wanting to get for like ever. so YES, I HAVE A SMART PHONE NOW. O=

they wrecked my room with balloons and silly string and splooged me in the face when i got home. on top of that, yet ANOTHER surprise lunch with everyone else the next day. i never saw it coming. i seriously feel like the luckiest person ever and i can't think of anything else that could make me any happier.

i was so depressed to leave these 21 years of age behind me and yet,

this was the best birthday ever.

happy 22nd to me. (:

Lucy! The babies' mama

they grow up so fast T__T

A new addition to our family.. my mom freaked (of course) when she first saw her but melted after the thing started following her around and playing with her affections. Yuki is such a smart baby. I named her after the Japanese word for "snow". She is a mixture of maltese/shih tzu/pomeranian/bichon/poodle, one crazy ass mix! Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. I love my baby. Now Mika has someone to play with, although she is crazy mad jealous. hahahah so cute.

new tattoo

2011-11-17T02:06:00.001-08:00

yet another one. the most painful one thus far ): my skin is super swollen.

i'll post a picture once it heals correctly.

eyebrows!

2011-11-14T01:44:00.000-08:00

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I have recently "airbrushed" (or pretty much tatooed) my eyebrows. They were pretty dark at first and I was really unsure about them, but they've faded significantly now and it looks as if I never did anything to them at all! Pretty cool waking up with hair on my face doe. LOL. I feel a lot less insecure.

This is from when they were super dark, chola status. But it looks cooler now. I'm too lazy to take a picture, perhaps manana. Going to watch The Walking Dead and eat oranges and knock out for a long day of school tomorrow. (:

sparrows.

2011-11-14T00:27:00.000-08:00

These little buggers used to fall out of trees in front my old apartment downtown all the time. They would break their little selves and being the kid that I am, I gathered them all up and took them all home with me. Mom yelled at me every single time. She said they would bring some kind of disease into the house. Grandma was the only one that supported it, actually. She found a bird with me once, a long time ago while we were playing tennis. Bird just sat there, staring at us and didn't move an inch even as we got closer. Concerned, I told her I thought it was sick because it wasn't scared of us. So I picked it up and placed it on my tennis racket and we walked home that way. The bird died over night. I woke up excited to see my bird, only to hear her say.. "Sweety, your bird is in a better place now. So pray for him because he's with Buddha. Don't be sad."

Sparrows can fly for miles and miles, and still return back home. They are also one of the very few birds that mate for life; once they find their partner, they stay with them until death. These birds represent freedom and loyalty to the ones that they love. Too often do we take the sparrow for granted. Small though she may be, she is certainly powerful.

I will always love you.

2011-11-08T03:14:00.000-08:00

It's either Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Little Mermaid, or Pochahontas that gets me up when I'm down.

I'm in love with that hat. Wish I could be able to pull something like that off nowadays without getting evil stares. I'm also in love with her sunglasses. They are often mistaken as wayfarers but upon doing my research, I found out that they are actually a model called "Manhattan" by Oliver Goldsmith. *Must hunt them down.

I would so kick a baby to see this on Broadway someday.

Future inkage is in reference to this movie. My entire childhood, youth, and young adult life molded around this fictional girl and her impulsive actions, defiance against her father, naive sense of "disney-like romanticism".

If you guys really read the real story of the little mermaid, you wouldn't believe how fucked up it turns out to be. Hans Christian Anderson, man.

Oh, must not forget about the other girl. Similar mindsets, a tid bit more realistic than the last.

First movie my dad took me to see in a real theatre.

I remember being really small and everything being really gigantic.

It was a good memory of us.

Hummingbirds.

ROOM RENOVATION

2011-11-08T02:25:00.000-08:00

Found the perfect corner desk for that weird little corner in my room that fucks my whole shit up. Planning on mounting a 32" there as well.. along with future ps3 and a super comfy pleather (I hope :x) chair I plan on lazing on and playing games in. (or possibly doing homework in) LOL. The chair seems to overshadow my baby desk. ):

I get to sleep with James and Audrey on either side. ;p

I'd say it looks pretty nifty from what it looked like before. -__-

Plans: get a fucking canopy bed! YEAH.

*will probably purchase new curtains after canopy bed arrives.

It's hard to find some that goes along with this color scheme I'm going with. Black, red, gold trimmings?! Bloody hell. The curtains I currently have are light proof and sound proof, WTF indeed. But! I bought them in hopes of drowning out my psychotic neighbor who screeches death threats every morning to her 5 year old kids. /")_____-

My old bed throws everything off with it's birch-y wooden frame, but it's hard to let go since my mom bought it for me so many years ago. I guess here's to new beginnings.

Man, Ikea is evil.

Also, car has been sold. Goodbye Rosie Jane. ='(

wtf. 4 years later and I finally see this.

fucking ow

2011-10-20T01:38:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what words I could use to describe the all of these emotions I'm suddenly feeling right now. It's as if they're all jumbled up together so intricately in such a way that causes me to feel nothing at all. So naturally, here I am turning to my trusty old blog. A place where I can pour out all my secrets in such a way where no one can really understand what I'm talking about.. a place that no body knows about. Unless they really know me. Ugh.

I feel so utterly alone.

& not in the sense where I need SOMEONE there for me. My friends, my family, my boyfriend, of course. I love my mom. I love her to death. After all these years of carrying this burden on my own, I finally realize that I'm not doing this alone.

5 years. It would have been 5 years.

20 years for her.

I love you both, with my whole heart. Somewhere if you're listening in on our daily lives, floating around in the sky in a better place, I hope you know that I love you. And you exist to me.

I feel incredibly lost.

really hoping that this is just a phase.

2011-08-10T01:16:00.001-07:00

you too.

hm..

2011-08-03T05:37:00.001-07:00

I suppose I just had the wrong idea of who I thought you were.

or rather, who I wanted you to be.

Either way.. it doesn't matter anymore.

you are my sunshine

dear blog,

i've been neglecting you as of late. i'm terribly sorry, it won't happen again.

love,

2011-07-12T02:25:00.001-07:00

Love
When did you get so boring
Where'd your edge of fire go
Did it burn out in the cold
When we were lying
In bed awake, you snuck out and came back late
When we were already dead
Sleeping on opposite sides of bed
Love, where'd you go

2011-07-05T02:29:00.000-07:00

I need more than this. I don't think I do, I know I deserve it.

I never wanted anything so much, to drown in your love.

& not feel your rain.

ouch

2011-06-21T04:15:00.000-07:00

It really fucking sucks when someone who has been there for you for years,

just suddenly drops out of your life.

and you never see or talk to them again.

I guess I can tell myself that everything just happens for a reason.

happy father's day!

2011-06-03T04:46:00.001-07:00

I can't make up for my mistakes in the past.

I can't hold you responsible for anyone else's mistakes.

All I know now, is that we won't make these same mistakes.

I will never know if we'll make it to the future..

but all that matters now, in this very moment, is you.

2011-05-31T02:51:00.001-07:00

2011-05-31T00:01:00.001-07:00

Awful habit of making everything sound like it didn't mean anything to me when it did.

Then later it comes back to hit me in the face. Hard.

I'm not okay.

2011-05-27T04:00:00.000-07:00

I HAVE NO TIME.

for useless people.

People, that just bring me down with them.

I mean it now when I say bye for the last time. Don't try talking to me if and when you see me.

OH AND, YOUR TEXTBOOK IS DUE IN 6 DAYS, PLEASE RETURN IT.

LUCKY

2011-05-27T00:48:00.000-07:00

to have you.

I've been acting really loopy and swoony.

I think it's probably because I'm not used to this kind of treatment.

My expectations of the opposite sex have dropped so low over the past years,

until you.

Then you came along and blew my mind away.

I'm sorry for what I put you through.

I'll never leave again.

p.s.

I completely melt into a complete mess when I see you smile.

2011-05-26T01:51:00.000-07:00

And I remember how you told me all you wanted to do.
That dream of Paris in the morning or a New York window view.
I can see it now you're married and your wife is with a child.
And you're all laughing in the garden and I'm lost somewhere in your mind.

eric loves the celtics.

the only reason why he even liked them in the first place is because of you.

i'd come home and find him watching basketball on the tv, because you introduced it into his life.

i just wish you were around to see how much he's grown.

but honestly, we're better off without you.

2011-05-05T00:41:00.000-07:00

2011-05-05T00:30:00.001-07:00

I have this tendency..

2011-05-05T00:12:00.000-07:00

to FUCK up everything that makes me happy.

Self-destructive.

and taking everyone in the vicinity down with me.

I guess Stevie and Buh just has some crazy indestructible skin that allows them to stay this close to me for this long.

It's just best for you if you stay as far from me as you can.

Speaking of indestructible skin.. it reminds me of this song.

One of my favorites.

Impassive.

2011-04-24T23:00:00.000-07:00

because I don't feel any of these emotions, yet I feel them all.

Happy

2011-04-14T01:55:00.001-07:00

with what's going on in my life and how I'm taking every twist and turn that occurs. (:

I just paid for my classes. All that hard earned money, gone gone gone.

But I also signed up for a shit ton of classes for this summer and fall.

I need to hustle my ass off to get caught up from this "break", or rather fallout I've had with school.

I've also been picking up as many shifts as I can and working hard to pay my bills and spoil my family rotten. ;P

Took Eric shopping on his birthday, being that he's all grown up and too cool now for toys and games.

Bought him a coach wallet, two pairs of SKINNY levis (aw he looks so adorable in them), two shirts and I want to go back to get him this super cute hoodie. haha

Also bought mama a really cute, ivory coach bag. Just cause.

She yelled the shit out of me, but I know she loves it.

I'm mighty proud that I walked into a mall, spent hella money and none of it on myself =x

A very rare occurrence. LOL

VERY excited to start this new semester, FRESH.

I'm going to make it up to you, I promise, Me.

& at least attempt to be that impossible "dream" daughter you've always wished for me to be.

(knowing myself and my restless, to say the least, personality.)

You are my strength.

No worries from here on out!

2011-04-11T03:18:00.000-07:00

2011-04-08T05:02:00.001-07:00

Already decided who I want and who I need in my life.

Today, was a very chill relaxing day.

Woke up, got ready. Expected to go see an art show with Andrew but it ended up getting cancelled because his teacher bailed out. So boo for that. He's been asking me to go with him for weeks too! haha. Ouch, I just hiccuped really hard and it fucking hurts. SO anyway, we ended up just eating with Amber before she had to go to work. After that he and I wandered over to the new Goodwill that just opened across the street from BC. I bought this SUPER rad 90's shit romper that I am so excited to wear. Two blazers, two blouses, earrings, and an old white, wedding dress for my corpse bride costume. Now I just need to make a veil and we can have our dead wedding shoot! So exciting.

Michael installed HIDs in my car today. I don't know what you're talking about the BEAM pattern being fucked up but I seriously cannot tell the difference. It's also a lot brighter so I'm pretty happy about that. Don't worry it's not annoyingly bright or anything. He also promised to put my old bulbs back in if I'm not happy with it. (: Ate at boiling crab with him after the lights.

Watched "Your Highness" with a few friends. Everyone got high of course, except for me. I would like to remember that shit, thanks! It got terrrrrrible reviews but I really really liked it. Of course you would expect the humor to be crude with Danny McBride! That guy is too much. I think the entire audience was on crack or some shit, cause forreal there were these people behind me that kept LAUGHING when it wasn't fuckin funny. chill out bros

Sleep I go for a full day of work tomorrow. (:

Side note, believe what you see. Not what you hear!

& right now all I see are rainbows. LOL

2011-04-06T03:18:00.001-07:00

I want you to be happy. It's all I ever want for you.

But I also want me to be happy. I'm sorry, I love you.

2011-04-01T04:58:00.001-07:00

what's the point of holding on when all we do is hurt our love?

de Young

2011-03-26T07:26:00.000-07:00

Henry scored some sweet tickets to the Olmec exhibit at the de Young museum from his architecture class :P

Only managed to take these two pictures from the Olmec exhibit, due to crazy museum personnel eye raping us and no photography allowed ]; And then we snuck around touching things that we weren't supposed to touch. LOL

It was really interesting and I really enjoyed it. I also learned a lot about their culture. They're one of the earliest recorded civilizations, dating before the Mayans! The museum was also crazy packed today for some reason. There was some kind of flamanco dancing show going on at the same time. Pretty nifty :P

The more modern-art part of the museum. Displayed behind me are the charred fragments of whatever's left of a burnt down chapel. (LOL) creepy right? But when I read the description, the artist's goal was to incorporate the whole gravity defying theme into the unity of science and religion, and the search for spiritual enlightenment and "ascension". I thought it was genius.

And randomly, a portrait of well known DC universe superhero. Too bad there wasn't batman ;[

There was so much more to take pictures of and wonderful art pieces, but we both forgot our cameras and they didn't allow photography anyway. But this was what we could salvage from Henry's droid!

2011-03-22T17:56:00.000-07:00

everything before you was juvenile.

we're almost reaching that 3 year mark,

i want to spend every day with you for as long as we can possibly drag it out.

we're terrible for each other and we also have NOTHING in common.

BUT YOURE MY BABBBBBBBY and you make me want to punch you in the face and chop off your manhood every waking moment.

you touch me too much and abuse my boobs all the time

you yell at me like a child for leaving my things all over the house

i yell back and scream and we fuss and we fight, yet..

"sometimes i wonder how it's possible for us to even be together. but at the end of the night and i'm laying in bed with you, i know why."

this is real.

Dear mom,

2011-03-19T05:05:00.000-07:00

when I was little, you told me that throwing up was good whenever I was sick. It flushes out all the toxins in my body you said. One night I woke up to hear you vomiting in the toilet. I ran in and started clapping my hands to encourage you to rid yourself of all that bad stuff inside, like you had told me. Dad came in and slapped me in the face. lol. It's my first and only memory of you throwing up. After that, you went to the hospital and had immediate surgery. Dad just left me at home confused and bawling my head off.

I just heard you yacking it up tonight from my bedroom, the second time ever.

And I freaked the shit out.

& brought up some traumatizing memories.

I love you, thank buddha it turns out to be only food poisoning. ):

Get bettttttter because I'll make you hot tea with lemon and honey?

Love, Nhi

2011-03-18T03:29:00.001-07:00

It's been awhile.

But I still can't forget what you did to me.

unconditional.

2011-03-18T00:59:00.000-07:00

particularly love that is pure.

random fact

2011-03-09T19:40:00.000-08:00

I had THE biggest crush on Prince Eric, out of all the other Disney princes when I was a kid. My mom ended up getting knocked up with my baby brother and asked me what I thought we should name him. I screamed ERIC!!! hahah she ended up actually giving the name some thought and thus my baby brother, Eric Phan, came into existence. Now that I think about it, WHY THE HELL did I name him Eric. -___________-

ANYWHO other than that disturbing thought, this is a very HOT PRINCE ERIC and NOT the little short brown kid related to me. hahahahha

Dear Dorothy

2011-02-28T05:39:00.000-08:00

My mom brought up, out of the blue yesterday that Toyota was having some kind of sale that they were blasting all over the radio about 0% APR and 1500 cash back or what not. She told me I should really jump on the deal before it ends the next day (which is now today). She thinks my celica is a terrible car and will die at any given moment. Offended, I immediately jumped to my beloved car's defense but at the same time thinking, man. She really is starting to fall apart. The clutch is starting to slip from wear and tear (henry thinks it hasn't been replaced since birth lol!) and the power steering pump is busted, so she sounds like a tank every time I make turns. Other than that everything works perfectly fine. Well, the cruise control mysteriously stopped working recently but I considered that a luxury for having such an old car. After some serious thought, the idea of a brand new car definitely started to appeal to me. After all it would be seriously nice to have the option of going on long road trips and not worry about something breaking, a car that would save me a lot more gas, and would have less things to fix! I took up her offer and we went to the Toyota dealership the next day, just to check shit out.

Henry tagged along.

At the dealership we got HUSTLED. BIG TIME. Okay, well, my mother got hustled big time. This funny, charismatic car salesman showed us around, complimenting my mom about everything. Making her giggle like a teenage girl. LOL. Henry could not roll his eyes further back into his head at everything he said. He had her sold! He had her in the palm of his hand man. She was almost ready to sign papers for a corolla that would have ended up costing me 20k out the door, for a color I absolutely did not want, a model I did not want, nothing I even wanted! Finally, getting some alone time away from the crazy salesman, Henry started his rushed, speed-talking rant about why we should NOT drop that amount of money for this huge commitment that was made in the past 30 minutes of being there. My mom now loves him for being so smart and witty with such matters [; He explained that there are many options out there and just because they're having a sale, this is not the only place we can go to get a car, especially one that we don't even want.

Next door to Honda we go! Where I found the PERFECT car for me. We asked for a white Honda Fit, 2010 preferably a manual transmission (its like 800 dollars cheaper), a base model. HOLY HELL they had one! BRAND NEW. It's like she was made for me. 14k, out the door. Fucken hella cheaper, everything I ever wanted. It was a tad more expensive but this salesman was Vietnamese and momma hella talked him down with the price LOL, she's the best haggler/guilt tripper. "Please! My daughter is a student! I'm not paying for this car, I'm only co-signing it, she's the one paying for it! Look at her!" hahahhhahah I love her.

Anyways, I couldn't imagine life to possibly get any better. I'm just going to be extremely broke from now on with rent and car payments. :D I love my life. Now let's introduce you to Dorothy.

She looks hella small but SO SPACIOUS inside! and like, a bajillion cup holders. ALL the seats fold down into a flat space. I could TOTALLY have sleepovers in my car and shit. LOL. Not to mention I fuckin' love having a radio so I'm not so lonely in my car anymore.

Jane is up for sale. Once I fix the power steering problem, I'll clean her up and she'll be good to go. ): I'll miss her dearly, and it would be nice to see her go to some other loving owner.

Let me know if anyone's interested. I'm asking 2500. I love you baby.

more than yesterday, less than tomorrow.

2011-02-26T04:48:00.000-08:00

Every day I love you more and more.

i love my boyfriend!!!!!!!

2011-02-25T02:57:00.000-08:00

2011-02-21T04:56:00.000-08:00

was today + a bajillion people crowding into one place to look at some gay cars. fortunately, this also means our friends are in town! :D so therefore, amber and i planned a small get together at our place with me, her, our play things, and matthew garrison. :P we bought 60 oysters split between the five of us (jesus christ we were so full), eaten with steaks, coronas, lemons, mushrooms, corn, asparagus, mangos, and green tea ice cream for desert. afterwards, the boys ended up playing street fighter till five am (when matt left) and then until 8 am. amber and i were snuggling in bed where she fell asleep and i stayed awake with the boys. we went to get coffee, they went home and i drove henry to school.

amber cut off a chunk of her thumb trying to open an oyster, and this is her "pedophile's dream" face.

they started freaking out because apparently this one looked especially like a vagina. HAHA

YUM.

today was a good day. happy president's day everyone!

pushing daisies!

2011-02-17T16:42:00.000-08:00

so, henry's cousin jackie gave us the entire first season of pushing daisies to watch on dvd.. 2 years ago? and we've finally bothered to open it up and watch it. LOL since we couldn't watch netflix due to the internet being super laggy and hella wanted to test out the new tv. but i'm SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. it's the cutest fucking thing ever! so this little boy finds out that he has the power to bring back the deceased when he touches them the FIRST TIME. the catch is, if he touches them again they fall back dead again. and if they remain alive for more than a minute, someone else in proximity has to die. he ends up growing up and moving away from his hometown and leaves his childhood sweetheart. now he solves crimes with this detective by bringing back people who were murdered for no more than a minute and asks them who killed them. one day, a particular case brought itself to the detective's attention and the victim turns out to be his childhood sweetheart. he couldn't bring himself to touch her again for the second time and have her leave him forever. so he let her live, and the funeral director dropped dead instead. he's hella in love with her but he can never touch her again or else she'd die. AWWWWWWW

NOT TO MENTION, i'm like whimpering at every dress, hat, pair of shoes, or earrings i see in this show. they are so fashionably dressed! fuuuuuu i can't waste my money on clothes anymore. i bet if i tried hard, i could probably snag a few vintage-y dresses at some old thrift stores but they go for quite a bundle of cash nowadays (for the real deal). but forever 21 and other modern clothing stores are attempting to recreate the dresses. i just feel like it's not the same if it's not made with a certain cut and fabric. fuck, i wish i knew how to sew.

not to mention, lee pace is a MAJOR hottie. i would no doubt, hit that. hahahah

also, henry's been having sinus headaches for the past week and keeps moaning that he hasn't been this sick in years. so i've been running around taking care of him, making food, soup, tea, wiping his little brow, feeding him medicine! pampering!! not going to class to stay home and take care of him.. NOW I'M FUCKING SICK.

fucking great.

NEW FUCKING TV

2011-02-16T17:48:00.000-08:00

23 years old.

2011-02-10T15:41:00.000-08:00

my babbbbbby is sooooooo oldddddddddddd! getting ready to settle down and have kids soon, right honey?! HAHAH JK well anywho, i had this whole wonderful day planned out for us. the first on the list would be a trip to ikea, A QUICK ONE, just to grab some needed furniture in preparation for our new tv. then after, head back to sf and stroll around shopping, thrifting, buying him cool new shit and then dinner. HOWEVER, we spent 5 FUCKING HOURS AT IKEA. because he spotted this red couch in the "as is" section marked down 20 percent, and then marked down ANOTHER 20 due to a special 3 hour sale (or some stupid shit like that) going on while we were there. he immediately fell in love with it and being the loving girlfriend that i am, i obliged. -_- so in all we bought the new couch, tv stand, coffee table, living room rug, bamboo plants (LOL shut up), mugs, trash cans and all that good shit. split down the middle! the couch was originally 500 but the price got marked down to 320. now that i see it set in the living room, it was a pretty good steal :P

my sweeeeet glasses i found in some vendor in sf!

darling, there is a chinese family in our kitchen.

i was unprepared!

henry and couch

trinh and henry and couch

the setup

just imagine a tv in the back haha

stayed in and made dinner instead

went to safeway, bought him a bottle, drank two shots and KTFO. i know, i'm a one shot wondaaaa ];

gamma

ricky is hiding.

ricky is hiding, hard.

AHA! RICKY IS CAUGHT RED HANDED.

happy birthday

2011-02-03T21:41:00.000-08:00

to the most beautiful, most important woman in my life.

today is a sad sad day

2011-02-01T01:31:00.001-08:00

hulu's entire stargate sg-1 free episodes.. EXPIRES! )))))): I'm only a few episodes away from finishing the saga. and henry's 3 seasons behind still :P OH, did I mention I have the HUGEST crush on Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c? yessssssssss. Sci-Fi nerd, indeed. ;___; They made a MOVIE to end the whole thing, so friggin' excite! But I still need to figure out how to watch those last couple episodes ...

a couple meals I conjured up for our first week living together! aren't the heart plates simply adorable? [: school is going well, it's just a bitch to adjust to how everything runs differently. i still haven't figured out how to procure a parking permit.. so its 3 dollars a day -__- it also takes a lot out of me to drive up mission, back and forth everyday. it's only a mile or two away but that road stresses me out! it's the most terribly conditioned road i've driven on, people running across the street all the time and buses/cars stopping all over the place in the middle of the goddamn street. anger!

Overall, the move here definitely saves me a lot of gas and trips back and forth. I'm in one place so I don't have the urge to ditch class and just focus on school. The downsides are missing my momma (even the sweet sound of constant nagging), watching tv and playing with eric, cuddling with mika every night.. and my best friends. But I'm not trippen cause I still come home every weekend to make some crab money ;] However, money does pose a problem now that rent is taken into account.. and it's just simply hard to sustain a lifestyle for two with JUST my salary (AHEM), especially with the cut hours. I'm thinking about looking around for another part-time in sf to keep this up. ))))):

2011-01-23T06:52:00.000-08:00

houston,

2011-01-22T02:00:00.000-08:00

2011-01-21T03:44:00.000-08:00

homeless puppies wish they were you. -_-

hello, my name is mika phan and i have my own room, dog house, and

home cooked chicken and other meats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday

because i don't like to touch that kibble stuff. -_____-

& endless natural jerky treats. walks two times a day

PLUS i get to sleep in mama's bed every time she's home!

here I thought

2011-01-20T23:39:00.000-08:00

that loving you, and always wanting to be with you was a good thing.

I'm sorry for wasting your time. Sorry for making you unhappy in this relationship.

Sorry for taking you away from things that really matter.

unscathed

2011-01-20T04:17:00.000-08:00

I hope you comprehend that however the situation ends up, it will always be to my advantage. Your move.

2011-01-19T20:33:00.001-08:00

please let me know when you're grown enough to commit to this relationship.

first day of school

2011-01-19T14:18:00.000-08:00

went well! (: I got on campus around 1 and stayed there till like 7ish. I'm hella retarded and thought my reg date was on the 10th but it was really the 3rd so I barely got any classes. Soooo, I went around crashing classes and got into two yesterday but most of my classes are afternoon to night. Which is fine with me since my sleeping schedule is all fucked up and is probably going to stay that way, especially with Henry now. Two more to go today! It's a really nice change of scenery. The campus is on a hill so you can see like, everything. All the lights are really nice at night and the view is gorgeous. The buildings are also pretty old but they look awesome on the outside. Inside it's like a scene from a highschool drama. I haven't made any new buddies yet cause all I did was go to class and sit down but the people seem to be very nice (certainly a lot of hipsters) and a few super ghetto dudes. For bio, I expected the routine safety lab lecture and contract signing, yada yada. BUT my professor started talking about how unsafe the campus is at night and maneuvers you can do to get away from potential arsonists, told us to save the campus police's phone number into our phones, and offered a police escort to your car. WTF RIGHT? Jesus now I'm freaked out to walk to my car. -_______- I came here by myself, without Henry, so I'm a tad lonely and YOU GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY COME VISIT ME. :D

and.....

2011-01-17T03:43:00.000-08:00

feel the disappointment settle in.

the beginning

2011-01-11T21:38:00.000-08:00

Amber went with me to SF to help register for school and do all my shit. Afterwards we went to eat at Joe's and played at the pier/ripley's! ((((((((((((((:

Still holding my hand on the first day of school. LOL
