Oh, I didn't see you there...

I am still alive.

School starts in 2 weeks...
Roller derby is going strong.


Life is wonderful!!!

The day the wind blew into town...

The middle of the week... I am so glad that I have only one more day (after this one) till the weekend again. The weather has changed and the wind is a nice change from the heat... I am not sure that early September is appropriate "hoodie" weather.

On that note, I think I am going to go return a book or two at the book store.

Song of the Day:  Beck> New Pollution

Wow. It has been a long time since I have had the time to write in this wonderful little blog of mine. I know so much has happened in my precious little life, but some things are not worth mentioning or remembering. There are only a handful of good things to report:

-College life resumes on August 30th. I will be starting my Junior year and finishing up my wonderful art history degree. A few weeks ago, I took this writing assessment to see if I need to take a English class or if I can just take a "writing intensive" class. Hopefully, I will know something by Friday.

-I am a roller derby girl. Back in July, I tried out to become a member of the Sacred City Derby Girls. I passed the test and I am now a "Fresh Meat" member! The training is not fun. Last week, we had 2 days back to back of 3 hour practices. I was sore for 3 days! I just came home from practice today. I know this pain is worth it. Someday, "Manda Smash" will make her derby debut. I am so happy that I am making new friends (cause I don't have too many lady friends) and getting a hardcore work out will be greatly appreciated... Especially if it gets me under 200lbs!

-Paul and I celebrated our 4th year together. I am so glad that my best friend is the person that I want to spend my life with and get old and crazy with. His birthday is coming up soon. He will be 28, then, 4 months later, I will be 27.

-Tomorrow: Seeing the "screening" of "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World". Coincidentally, one of my new derby friends is going too. Small world.

sit down. stand up///

Long time no write...

Updates:
Paul graduates on Friday.
Love doing gardening at my home.
Was accepted to Sac State and also got lots of wonderful grants to pay for college (translation: I don't pay shit).
Finding it fun at my new job with the government.
Still happy and glad that I don't work for stuck up a-holes anymore! June 1 will be 6 months since I have been fired and I have never been happier!

-M

pondering ideas for a road trip this summer to see a music festival.

this is all.

Another day...

Had an interview... Sucked.
Saw my brother at his work...
Talked about randomness...
Gonna hang out on Wednesday.
Made dinner... Pasta.
Got a call from the Census about a job.
Gonna take it. $15/ hour is fine with me.

And so it is...

Everyday the world of me gets a little more interesting and at the same time, a little more sad. Trust me, I am glad for all the things that I have but one can only wish for so much more in life. More on that later, promise.

I just now realized that I have about 6686 pictures on my computer with in 162 folders... I love keeping my images organized!

100...

I am almost done with that effing last twilight book... one hundred more pages to go. then i can get my life back... (thank.jebus)

Hot!!!

And it's now almost time for bed. Ugh. I need the sleep! One of these days, I will have to do a more formal post of the new happenings in the crappiful life of me!

But before I go (my headache is killing me), Michael Buble was on Letterman (I hate his show tho) and I just realized that he is sooo effin' gorgeous! Hot damn. This is all. That will make sleeping better now!
