I wish i could talk to my grandma once more. Its the one thing i miss more than anything. I am beginning to feel more lost in the world... More so then ever.

Sunday, April 26, 2009

You see giant proclamations are all very well but our love is louder than words///

Song of the Day: Bloc Party> Sunday


Alone this weekend. Never any fun, really. I should be doing some class work for my English class. I could read the book that I need to. I should write that paper that is due on Thursday. I should do a lot of things. I just don't really feel like it.

Paul is coming back from Los Angeles later today. I have to pick him up. At 10 pm tonight. I need gas first... And I am completely broke. My last $140 went to paying my car registration. Stupid State of California!

What's been going on? Not much actually. Relaxing. Crocheting... or trying to. Cutting up bags to make somethings with. Getting old photos off my cell phone... and doing the same to my old phone. I forgot I had so many of them.

Went over to see Mom and Dad last night. Had some BBQ and watched a movie that my Dad had bought. Dad bought a drum kit the other day. Its in the garage currently. I tried it out. And I enjoyed it. It seems like something that I could actually enjoy doing (since on the guitar my fingers are a little too small for the fret board).

Just another lazy Sunday.

Rant #2...

So,


Do you think that by checking my blog you are going to find some 'dirt' on me? I am getting tired of your creepy stalker-ish ways. How about find me and have an actual talk instead of snooping? Do you think I post everything up on here without thinking about who will see this? Seriously.

< / rant >

PS: I am making a bag for my Aunt in Southern California. Currently, I am making the 'plarn' to get the project off the ground.

Test test. Coming from the cell phone.

Every man, & every woman needs someone... So keep it coming///

Song of the Day: New Order> Crystal


School is going along quite well. The year is almost over then starts the Summer session and then one more year in community college and I will be entering Sacramento State University as a transfer student.

Still working on my crocheting bags. I like the feeling I get when I am done with the project. I showed off my favorite bags with my family while at my Grandma's funeral and got lots of positive feed back. Aunt Cathy is sending me some bags from So. Cal. The more I make, the more I can sell. Dad said that he knows of lots of ladies at his work who would love one. Score!


And now, a picture...


I think This is my favorite photo of my brothers. I think I will print this one out and give it to them as a little gift from our bonding in So. Cal last week.

Rant #1...

I wish that certain people who I know very well would stop reading my blog... just so they can see if I am doing things that I shouldn't be... some people should be spending their time working! Talk about invasion of privacy (yes, this is a public blog, I know, but still).

IP numbers are amazing. They don't think that I don't know they are checking my stuff out. If only they knew.

ugh.

In case you missed it...

I don't care how much it cost me...





I am taking Paul here next year for the All Star Game. My hometown is only 15 minutes away! It would be a nice 4 year anniversary present (The game is on July 13th 2010 and our anniversary is on July 25th.)

Goodbye till Sunday!

Wednesday, April 08, 2009

Stupid fans...

Ugh.

Makes me sad to hear about things like this happening in the world especially since the team won its opening day game...

Tuesday, April 07, 2009

These things I never seem to mean... So I leave the murder scene///

Song of the Day: Editors> Distance


I managed to finish another bag. I am surprised that this one only took me about a week to make. I don't know the total time tho. An hour here before English class in the High School parking lot, while watching TV with Paul, during my lunch break...



Black and white and something else in the bathroom.


Close up of the madness.


I am a sucker for the color blue.


My daily essentials... Believe it or not that's as simple as it gets.


The approval of Miss Poppy. My gorgeous little kitten.

Road trip to see Grandma commences on Thursday morning. Should be interesting. More later.

Please love, don't be scared... It's just your own reflection///

Song of the Day: Editors> Spiders

So,

I have now $3300 in my savings.
I am surprised that I managed to put away that much too!
Paul and I have been talking about going to France (Aix-en-Provence technically) sometime either this winter (he said that I had the worst time in Italy a few years ago, so this might not happen then) or perhaps next spring.

If we went during Christmas time, it would only cost about $1200 round trip each person. And since we have a home to stay in, no need for a hotel room!

Maybe I am thinking too much about traveling. I don't even have a passport yet.

I just want to go see Museums and all things Picasso (he is my hero!).
Before Grandma died, I wrote to her telling her about our trip someday soon. I just want to make her happy for me. *sigh*

Sunday, April 05, 2009

I'll keep your eyes wide open tonight... Keep the car on the road now///

Song of the Day: Editors> Camara

Not much going on since Grandma died...
[well, technically, there was quite a bit that happened but I will post about it later as things develop]

I went on a walk around my new neighborhood today... Enough time to clear my head about what is going on in my life.

Heading down to Los Angeles Thursday thru Sunday to be with family and for Grandma's funeral on Friday in Whittier.

I think I will use some of my bonus from work to get a new tattoo in the memory of Grandma and one for Grandpa too while I am back home.

Another day approaches.

This song came on Pandora.com while I was listening to my "Muse Station"...

Now I can't get the cast of "House" out of my head.

Thanks FOX!
