Greetings from Hayes Healy 202.

Move in day startec off all hectic. Everyone and their mom was moving in... fat line of cars... yeah... it was interesting. Some of my stuff wouldn't fit in the car, but since the family is coming tomorrow, it's ok...

Since Steph isn't here... I've just been here watching DVDs cause I haven't hooked up the cable yet. Blue Crush man... Charlene, have u seen this? If you thought Waterworld wanted to make you surf... oh man...

In Blue Crush, how did they go about arguing how she's the maid he slept with on vacation to what she wants to win Pipe Masters & have her mom come home? How'd that happen?

That's so cool how she has two different colored eyes. How is she not in more movies? Or is she and I'm just playing ignorant? I need to go IMBD it...

This is intense... this better have a happy ending, shit...

It's nice here. But I can't say I won't be glad when Stephie & I can have those sleepless night talks.

PS! I forgot to mention what happened today! Had work as usual, just eating & listening to my radio @ Port o Call, then had Tony's takeout for dinner & Kuya & Chrissytina came over... we talked college... my sis burned CDs for Chrissytina... & yes we watched "N"s on MTV & UPN & it was humourous...

After they left, me & Roo went to Coldstones for ice cream... yay.

Wow. Tomorrow morning. Zero hour. Scary Dorms! With other girls!

I remember how I would always think that I was more comfortable around guys than I was with girls, but then @ work... Jocelyn & Angela (I MISS ANGELA!) & Regina & Jenn & BERLINETTE & Charlene... & then last night!

Last night Deanna organized a get together with Chrissy, Charlene, Steph, Cha, & Tricia & me & her bc Cha left today & then me & Steph leave on Saturday & Chrissy already started... we had planned to do ice cream but some people hadn't eaten so we went to Denny's on Sonoma... it was funn... Steph made a new friend who was kind of scary... & then Charlene made a friend who wasn't scary & gave her a small coloring book type thing & then her friend was listening in when Steph was telling us a story. It was humorous. & then Steph was all staring @ me & Deanna when we were trying to decide what to order & share. Greatness.

It was just... funn. & then our waitress hooked it up with an extra glass of water! Holler. I can't remember what else tho.

Deanna was great... she played listener for me... we hadn't talked in awhlie & it was really nice reconnecting like that... & then me & Steph did that too on the way back home.

John man... the Kings drama... but you know when they go on the road, it's all... whatever whatever, u know??... Sorry I hardly call back buddy, I do like talking to you! I miss that... talking to you in our car rides.

I'm going to pass out and vomit this next week.

OH! I got hollered @ today @ work! Some guy... Stanley (like the Disney character with the goldfish who goes places, Steph!)... yeah. He was polite enough. But yes, they always back off when I mention the bf, thankfully.

Damn, there's a lot of s*** that's going to the dorm with me. Hot Damn indeed. Indeed.

Alright... the next post will most likely be from Hayes-Healy, room 202.

As always, I love my days off... & it's like my last one ever today... bc tomorrow I work & I only work weekends after that and yeah... it's sad!...

Cha sent out the sad goodbye email... but she's moving an hour & a half away (so says my parentals)... but without her car... & it's sad... cause I remember in one yearbook, she wrote "I'd say I'll miss you but you're not going anywhere..."

& now I'm packing and things feel so... final. What's going to happen with my late night snack cravings that I won't be able to fix?... or if I pass out from menstrual pain & lie in a puddle of my own vomit (hey it could happen, I swear, based on what happened last month...) ? Or if I get raped & mugged???? where the hell is the pepper spray all of my guy friends promised me once I told them that I was moving to the city????

This morning was funn. I awoke to go galavanting with Tricia... she was dissatisfied with Barnes & Noble so I showed her the Borders in Pleasant Hill... then we were sad cause we want stuff but we don't want to spend money... alright man, "hardcore" music!! I got my sister a Squirt keychain... Squirt the baby turtle from Finding Nemo?

I wonder if I could get on Teen Jeopardy. That'd be cool. But I'd probably spend half of the time trying to remember what the question is because I'm all forgetful & selective memory like that.

Tonight's the ice cream get together before we're all off to school.

(Jeopardy just mentioned James Joyce!!! OMGEEZE... & no one who was in my English class reads this... or do you GUNA??... James Joyce! narrative voice... hahaha it all wasn't serious... I MISS LESLEY T. & GEMA. I'm sad now. & I miss picking on Joey & then Joey picks on me for being small & then ELEANOR! I MISS ELEANOR!! I'm sad now!!!

yes so ice cream! okay! yay time to show the navel to the future roommate & deanna cause I don't know if they know!

OH! I saw Auntie Terry (Steph's mom) today! Too bad me & my mom got HELLA soaked in the downpour when we said hi!! Oh well, what's a little water between roommate-family-bonding?!?

My navel is sore.

...packing... =( okay bye

PS... so I've gotten a new perspective on what I blogged yesterday... & I now understand how someone could have felt so attacked by what I said... honestly... I say what I feel. Period. i don't really think about what other people will think about what I say... I don't think that you can waste your time pleasing everyone...

I really didn't mean what I said to be taken so personally... like I said, if it was a random blog by Joe So & So, saying the same thing, I would have responded the same way I did... I didn't mean to analyze & judge, & I know that what I said could have been taken that way, & I apologize for that.

It does hurt tho that I didn't mean to attack you but everything you said was purposefully meant to attack me. That's why I responded with the not so nice blog below.

So if you guys are supposed to call me & talk this out or whatever... well it hurts (especially for one of you) that the only reason you call me is for this. & like you said, we're going to college, we're not going to see each other anymore, is it really worth it for all of this negativity & drama to come up? & plus... it doesn't even really feel worth it to "save" a friendship that seems pretty nonexistant... which is just as much my fault as it is yours...

So gratitude also goes out to those people who have made it a point to keep in touch over the summer... & I'm sorry if I haven't reciprocated... but I do mean it when I tell you to visit me!... so to John, Kuya, Deanna, Stephen, Guna, Bunggay, Chrissytina (we'll do the Disney moviemarathon @ my dorm room!!), Ed, Owen (even tho I know you must think I'm crazy for saying this), Tricia, & Cha... you guys are great, thank you for keeping my summer three dimensional...

Okay... wow big blog today cause "drama" sorta came up bc of my last blog... so of course, I gotta say what I have to say... ALL MY OWN OPINION... if you don't want to hear my opinion, I suggest the little exit box on the upper right corner... by the way, I'm a lil heated right now so this may sound a little meaner than I mean it to be...

CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome. any other kind... well that's just mean so why bother...

isn't it ironic... don't you think? that when someone gets mad about someone taking their online journal seriously & literally, but they do the EXACT same thing with other peoples' online journals...

I was just commenting. yeah, it wasn't the most positive comment, but it wasn't meant to be. I didn't mean for it to be as negative as you took it, so I do apologize for the nasty tone (if you assumed there was one). I just said what I felt... & like the quote... "do what you want & say what you feel bc those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind".

I just said what I felt. It was a response. Not an attack. I do believe that everything I said was a constructive criticism, not an evil bitchy one.

"unneccessary drama"... that's an oxymoron, as I've discovered these past years. I always thought that once I started college, there wouldn't be any more of that, but I know that "high school drama" continues WAY after high school.

It's sad how the forewarnings I sensed awhile ago came true.

Karma... when people get what's coming to them bc they've hurt other people on purpose... yes I'm a believer in karma... but I also believe that it works to those that it is meant to work on (coughcough ex boyfriends cough)

Kuya James, remember when you still went to SPSV & people would pass by and we would whisper to each other "ahh the profanity! the profanity! my ears!"

To answer someone's questions in the respective order... I didn't think it was incredibly negative; no; no; no; no; no; talk about people taking things personally!; once again, taken so personally, when if someone did the same thing, I would have said the same thing bc it's a general feeling...; taken literally bc was it supposed to be taken figuratively or freely instead?

And in the horror of repeating myself, it's incredibly ironic how people get angry @ people's online journals, & defend their own online journals, saying that they're being taken so seriously & literally.

This was said a lot meaner than it should have been. I'm only angry bc I'm so taken aback at the response my blog triggered. Indeed, the pen is mightier than the sword. I hate confrontation. I'll totally avoid it @ all costs. Unless it's with the boyfriend... bc of the comfortable-ness level thing I guess? Kind of like the family... yeah...

Need to breathe... I had a good day @ work & after work, doing the Pasta P thing once again with the bf... saw Andrew for the first time in quite awhile, showed him my navel... I miss hanging out with him & Camille.

What else what else... my thoughts arent fully processing... will blog when able...

i'm in a good mood, but there's always a lil sour apple that's gotta ruin the bunch... today's irritation? other than that kid @ work that's hella irritating (think a mix of jason abbot & vicky burt & you've just about got an idea...)... okay so when it's your anniversary with someone, it's a happy thing right? you're happy, you're in a relationship, blah blah blah... so why are you gonna be all "in your face, you're hella moded" to the people who didn't think you'd last? is it cause you're so insecure that you almost believed those people, and now that you're so happy that you proved them wrong... or is it happy that you proved yourself wrong?... i just find it tacky that after you say "happy anniversary" it's immediately followed by an f-word to those naysayers. but that's just me, that's my own opinion, & just like you, I'm entitled to it...

Oh yeah!... it's also irritating when a person says the same thing over & over again... I mean, not like... like someone's phrase, like when tricia says that she's irritated or frustrated or excited about movies or dvds or something like that, bc that's tricia's token phrases, those like belong to her... but when... i dont know... i guess I'll just end there... cause I won't make any sense unless I go into specifics, & I don't do that...

So yes, that irritating kid @ work doesn't even say hi to me today, he says "hey jenn are you that one with that online journal thing bc they said one of the jennifers had one and i thought of you and blah blah blah" (i swear this kid just talks & talks nonsense... & "friggin" is the word he says to begin pretty much every sentence)... yeah, so of course i played stupid, cause what was i supposed to say, and im not about to give this kid my url address or whatever, I don't even know who the "they" he referred to, & jenn b also has a xanga so I didn't feel like clarifying...

so that makes me wonder if JVC people read my blog... HI JVC BUDDIES!... especially if you're Berlinette, JennB, Liz, Regina, Thomas, Jocelyn, either Angela, Krystel, Charlene, or the twins... (if I've forgotton any of my summertime buddies, apologies are in order!)... wow. people outside of steph, tricia, cha, & mike actually read my blog (seriously, I don't think anyone else does... does kuya james??)...

i smell like popcorn.

oh yeah stacey is hella cool bc she brought funnel cake to sharkeys cause she was there today & not working but she brought funnel cake with extra forks for everyone!!! STACEY IS GREAT

I want to tell the parentals about the navel, just cause I like to talk to them about random stuff, i.e. current events, my peers, family friends or relatives, work, etc... but of course I can't bring myself to do so. I had a bad dream the night I got my piercing that my sister told them... okay night!

cha says that my san-x character scares her. but you know, that tissue box character that she is... well i'll just leave it at that...

i want to scratch my navel but that's not happening and now im just a little frustrated.

good luck to michael who starts school tomorrow... & hope all you st pats folks are having funn with those permanent football field lights...

getting paid to sit and listen to my radio on my cell phone is funn. haha two dollars for overtime regina!!...

I'm sad... I already saw this episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway... okebye!

What San-X Character Are You?

HELLO!... Friday... had work... Michael picked me up... we went to Pasta Pomodoro & back to my place for cake... my sis came home early... she got me a thesaurus... to further expand my vocabulary... so yes...

Saturday... had staff pictures hella early in the morning... went out to breakfast with the family @ Dennys... was late for work... work was EVIL... except that there were like @ least two deaf customers... and that was cool... all of our customers should be deaf, cause then u communicate by writing things out, & it's all cool... we should all talk less, write more... hence the whole text messaging phenomenon...

Anyways, yes, work was evil bc it was busy... then me & Belle went out to Pasta Pomodoro ( yes again... it's my sister!... & Pasta P is good!)... for the full three course meal that was absolutely fabolous & we had to be home by eight so she could go watch See Jane Date on ABC Family...

What else what else... today I woke up late & took a shower... avoided phone calls from work cause I didn't want to work today... went to the south bay so my sis could be near home & my parents could see some relatives... we had lunch @ Mayflower @ Great Mall... saw some condominiums bc my parents want to buy property or something like that... had boba @ Q Cup while the family talked about down payments and adult stuff like that while I watched Hillary Duff & Ludacris on the flatscreen tvs...

After that... me & Belle went in search for a piercing place... found one in downtown San Jose called Players' Ink, & the ad in the Metro also had a $15 off coupon... (& just now I had to minimize the window bc my mom walked here & she doesnt know about this so yes... hush...)... so I got my navel done & it hurt for ten seconds & my sis was hella laughing @ my pain... and now it sparkles...

We then went to Valley Fair to buy Krystal's birthday present, I bought that cordoroy jacket I've been eyeing on those GapKids commercials... & we had dinner @ California Pizza Kitchen... then we got bactine for my navel...

& then we met with relatives & my parents in Fremont... we showed one of my aunties' my navel... she started laughing...

& then when I got home like an hour later... well an hour later Michael stopped by to drop off my sunglasses that I lef in his car & I showed it to him & he all dropped his mouth & stuff cause I didn't tell him about it... it was interesting... then my mom gave him scones....

GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!
