August 21, 1999: happy almost-birthday to tink!okay so i haven't been around...but this week has been really busy for me....so lay off! *L**checking der page* oh wow! it's been nearly a week since i last updated..*gasp!* we better not waste any time now: Last Weekend. so our date turned out to be going to spaghetti factory, which i wanted to do anyways. :P i wore my new clothes and larry wore stuffs that matched with mine. okay i don't know where i came up with the idea that we had to 'match'...but we were! the wait for a table was longer than last time but we got a chance to walk and talk along the water. so that was nice. the genius that i am..i finally realized that..pier 70..was the real world seattle pier! but everything's all broken down and stuffs. so i felt sad..because it was as nice house and all that.. but wow..they lived there?!? it must have been strange to live behind the spaghetti factory... then we drove and talked..and came home and walked through campus for more talk...on sunday we just lazy'ed around! Monday. i reluctantly went to shakespeare. i didn't even know why i went. i just did..out of guilt, i suppose. class was the usual boring stuff but i did notice a girl in class who i haven't seen since the teacher declared his grade 'policy.' *snork* but someone did ask a question about it and he said that: everyone had their 4.0 if they wanted otherwise, to tell him! we had class evals and of HORSE i commented on this grade thing. it seriously messed me up! i had no desire whatsoever to try in this class...and i don't like knowing the 4.0 i got there.. i didn't earn..then again i'm a hypocrite for accepting it! but the way i look at it is....i'll do whatever it takes to get a better cumulative GPA..so then when i apply to a major..i'll get a better chance at acceptance! i dunno if that really makes things better than they really are. *shrug* next was murder. and there was NO scott. *L* he ditched me! we had plans for lunch this day and he NO showed. *chuckles* but i talked with ji-hee during class and after, so it wasn't all that bad. ;-) and when i arrived home there was an email waiting for me explaining his disappearance! and so we decided to have lunch on friday instead. :) Tuesday. i went to the post office to mail off larry's package and then went looking around for tink presents! then i went home to supposedly study..but i didn't do that for very long. :P just copied some notes over onto sheets of paper the same size as the text..... Wednesday. again i don't know why i went to shakespeare, but i still did! and i was hoping to get our papers back but that didn't happen. i sorely doubt he's even READ them...so that sucks toe! but i left at the break after hearing confirmation of my 4.0..*shrugs again* i arrived to murder tres early @ 45mins til..and read more. surprisingly not that many people attended class, which i thought was strange. ;P the exam was passed out and the first question really caught me off-guard. so i ended up staring at the first page for 10mins without writing anything. argh! but in the end, i wrote something in ALL the blanks. so that should help my grade, i hope i do better on this exam. scott and i walked towards bus/home again and cemented our lunch plans for friday. (why do i say "cemented" so much?!) and i went home to just laaaaaaaaaaaaaay around. because i was officially finished with summer school. *woo hoo*! i made it! weeeeeeeeeeeeee. Thursday. larry's car unexpectedly broke down so he ended up taking today off. we just laid around pretty much. i've gotten accustomed to thursdays being my day off that i really didn't do anything constructive at all. Friday. i woke up later than i would have liked..but i got ready and left in time to meet up with scott. we had teriyaki and talked. afterwards, he suggested a game of pool.. which i shot down. *L* i'm AWFUL at it!!!! so we just went to red square to talk for a while and it was nice getting to know someone new. i was home for about 30mins when anne marie called and now SHE was coming to get me. *oyyyy* *L* we went for dessert at red robin and did lots of walking and talking. we didn't quite want to go home..so we went to REI, but had a HORRIBLE time finding it! but once we were there, we looked through every nook and cranny...and i discovered a whole part of the store i had never been in! and i also found the rain room, where you test out their rain coats. i wanted to go in soooooo bad. or at least turn ON the rain..but i was afraid to ask. :P by now it was about 5pm and time for her to go home..but she mentioned the possibility of coming up with christina on sunday. so who knows, i may see her again... lar was talking to his mom on the phone when i came back. so i took a quick shower (hooooooooot!!!)..and made spaghetti. in the evening we did our own thing..i finished watching 'the mask of zorro'..which was cheezy but i liked looking at antonio! *heh* and then we went on our usual routine. rented movies at wherehouse: analyze this, the postman, and noises off! went grocery shopping at QFC...we had NO food for the past few days or so...and returned home to movies and ice cream! i left him sleeping in the big room so that i could respond to some emails.... oh wowie. i really let my inbox go..it's huge! i need to get back to people! so i'm really sorry that i haven't written anyone. *d'oh!* no plans this weekend. except to watch the halfway real world hawaii marathon. *heh* this weekend really did sneak up on me.. so there was no time to plan for anything! it's nearing 4am people. i'm gonna post this and eventually get to bed. i didn't realize it was so long since i udpated..but jennifer politely reminded me it's been a while..so here it is! ;-) talk to you all another time..have a good weekend! byeeeeeeeee. ps: disregard any typos..what more do you want from me? *LOL* latest old entry is august 13, 1999. August 25, 1999: going home!well, my parents finally broke me..i'm going home for an extended visit. *L* but i'm not complaining. home's a good place to be, where there's always food to eat, free laundry..and all you do to get it..is talk to them about their days, vacuum, and do the dishes. quite the deal if you really think about it.how've i been lately? i've been better. so i think this trip home will do me good. a vacation to relax..and it's early enough that when i return, i can still get my books without any trouble. talked to weese last night and that was good to catch up with him. and lately i've been able to stay online later than 11pm, so i can talk with ellen, and it's almost like old times. *heh* i called her monday night as well and we talka'ed for a couple owaz..it was definitely a goo thing..made my day look a whole lot butta now that it was over and done with! i'm really disappointed that bumbershoot is sucky this year. they usually have at least a dozen bands i'm dying to see..but this year i really don't care. i don't think i like cake that much...or violent femmes.... and i definitely don't like everlast..*gags* i'll prolly still go.. make butterfly wings if they're still doing that..and pick up more fo dolla scarfs. :) but i guess that's all for this update. i'm looking forward to going home to hang out with friends..and to go to RAMBLIN' JACKS once again. no..i'm not sick of them, yet! and i'd like to get a burrito from planet burrito..it'd almost be like old times... *sigh* ;) i'll talka when i return..until then, sit tight! byeeee! September 3, 1999: longtemps...so it's been a really long time since i last updated. just busy with life, you know? :) well, i went home from wednesday til sunday, so i think the rents were happy. though they did, of course, want me to stay longer. it's never enough! *L*but, i spent some time with those '3 girs' on thursday and bought myself a stuffed fish. weeee! and their mom bought me a big box of sixlets! me happy! the next day i met jennifer up at her verka and we talked for an owa..then i went to annie's we walked around her neighborhood and watched tv for a few. saturday was nelson's birthday (friday was rebekah's...) and we went to azteca for dinner. it was me, annie, allan, tyler and his girlfriend, heather..and of course nelson. heather's birthday was on monday! eating there was fine, i haven't been back in a LONG time. the service was shitty though. once our waitress brought us our food, she disappeared. *snork* no tip from me! they did the complimentary birthday song and hat dance for nelson and heather, and i just laughed and laughed... afterwards, we rented 'deer hunter' and watched it at nelson's house. the movie was three damn hours long! i didn't like it so much. and i guess it was one of the 100 best films of all time? though it was nice to see a young deniro, streep, and walken (who looked creepy even back THEN! *L*). late saturday night i felt like i had been home long enough, so i was gonna ride back up with my sister the next day..instead of waiting til..i guess tuesday? to go home? but first on sunday, i met up with jennifer for an extended visit! see, on saturday we were supposed to meet because she didn't have to go into work til 5pm, but she said she'd babysit for a friend in a pinch..so that's what she was doing. :) nice gir.... anyways. we had breakfast at coco's. which is like a denny's or sharis. the food was good, but took a while. so we were able to talk..which i've been DYING to do with her since i've been home! her work schedule has just been so hectic, working til midnight, that i don't see her as often as i'd like. so we talked and ate and it was really nice. after that we went to the farmer's market, where i bought some flowers cuz i needed cheering up. :) and there, we realized that the lil' butterfly clippy thing she gave me changed colors..so she took it back. *LMAO*! then we went downtown to look in the stores and i took her back to verk at 2.30 and went home myself. sunday was lar's bday, but i wasn't able to get him much...so i gave him der flowers and a rice paddy hat..which he's wanted since i've known him. then we spent time catching up and stuff, it was nice. this week has been pretty lazy! i just slept, woke up, went online, watched tv, ate, and waited for larry to come home from verk. however, yesterday i was good and finished my schedule for autumn quarter. cuz you know how plans change? mine definitely have changed. anyways, so i'm taking CMU200 (communcations) as a prereq to the communications major..but if i was only doing that, then i am wasting classes by taking the other stuffs..just so i'd have 15 credits, ya know? so i decided to 'prepare' to take a psych major as well, might as well i guess..oh i dunno. so i'm taking another psych class and another math class.. gross! to be able to apply to the schoo.....so by the end of autumn quarter i can apply to bof majors, hopefully i'll get both..cuz i don't want to leave here with just ONE major. haw! i did that yesterday (which was kkat's and keanu reeves' bdays...) and today i'm gonna 'put in' for a couple jobs from the schoo paper! i need money! i need money! tonight larry and i are having dinner at the olive garden, which has their bottomless pasta bowl. wee hoo! i prolly won't eat much, though..damn! i just realized that i wasn't supposed to eat anything all day...so i could save up stomago room! d'oh! well, the easy-mac i had..it'll be broken down by then...geesh, i can't believe i forgot..anyways... we'll eat and then rent movies. but then the weekend! IS BUMBERSHOOT. i'm not too excited about it this weekend, but i still have to get excited for the fo dolla scarfs! *L* we're going on saturday and sunday...i almost mailed our tix though. *LOL* good thing i caught myself. yuck, that would have been horrible! so i guess that's about all that's been going on in my life. not too exciting but somehow it keeps me from updating as often. d'oh! plans for the weeks ahead...get books with weese whenever he gets here....meet up with michelle when she moves in the dorms...catch up with scott......mess around with my schoo papers...get a job or five..*L* busy gir!! talk latta! September 9, 1999: OLD rewind stuffs and new stuffs as wellanyways..the bumbershoot news: but lemme tell you about our friday night first. so i didn't really eat all day cuz of that neverending pasta bowl at olive garden. we didn't leave for it til 8 i think..by then i had a raging headache and was dizzy and feeling sick. we get there and i order linguine alfredo (usually i get fettuccine...) and lar got some other thing, but he didn't like..so he ate about 1/3 of mine. then we got refills and he got my alfredo and i got something with marina and it was GROSS. and i was actually already pretty full..but you know how i make myself eat sometimes..*heh*...but lar was nice enough to vacuum up this order...*L* then i went back to alfredo but with the bow-tie pasta <---which i like now! and he got the same alfredo as before..but this order we took home. the waiter was nice and it was a cheap date because i had a $10 certificate. :) also this place was the first place that they gave us beepers while we were on the list! never had that happen before. so then we went home and looked for 'office space' cuz lar wanted to see it. and we went to several places but finally found it at blockbuster..only i wasn't gonna use my card cuz i have late fees..so he signed up for a membership. *heh* while there, i asked a couple guys about pokemon snap...and they said it was lame..so i guess i'm not gonna get it. *pout* we also got "GO" too..which we've seen before..but we like it. soooo. :P went home and it was about 11..so we watched office space and i thought it was horrible. i would have been pissed if *I* paid for it. but lar didn't think it ws so bad. he can relate to shitty working conditions. *heh* ;-) and then it wsa about 1 when i put in "GO"..he said he was gonna take a 'quick nap'..so i let him sleep....i didn't know how long he meant to sleep..he woke up an hour late..and didn't want to watch the movie from the middle so i gave up and we just went to bed. the next morning i dragged myself up at 9.30, thinking i could catch the season premiere of pokemon but it was on at NINE O'CLOCK so i missed it! he got up at 10 so we watched GO from the beginning! then took shower..but his was WAY LONGER cuz he was singing in there. *L* and we had to return the movies and get downtown to see CAKE @ 3! at 1 we returned the movies and rode bus downtown..and it was like...2.30 when we were downtown..okay maybe we left the house later than 1pm... and we were gonna walk but we were running late so we rode the monorail there..and found the mainstage where CAKE was. and we walked up pretty close..i guess. and i was bored..cuz they didn't play any of their radio songs til the end..so i had to listen to about 5 songs that i didn't know..and then came 'sheep go to heaven'...and 'distance' and thaat new one they're playing and then 'never there' which they ended with. lar said they were horrible. but i'm like: they were alright. we decided on this salmon plate that came with bread and caesar salad...$6.25..not baad..and we watched some street performer. then we walked around and caught some folk/country woman singer and he liked her..caroline aiken... then we went to see engine 54 in the bumber club..last time i saw them they were in the rock arena but they moved to a smaller location...and i was HOT in there cuz it was a closed room and so i left after 2.5 songs. but i guess mars plays his trombone in the band? and aaron plays guitar-thing? that was cool to find out. (guys a year behind me in high school) then we sat around...cuz kelly willis (folk/country?) was gonna be on at 6.30...and we just stood a lot cuz there ws nowhere to sit. just before her set we walked right up to the stage..i stood 10ft back while lar was up 5ft... but at least before she started..we stood together. as the concert progressed..we were like in the 3rd row from the stage. but i was moody cuz i don't listen to this stuff! my feet/back hurt and i was watching fools dance in front of me. *LOL@this man wearing white jeans...* after an hour he told me she was prolly closing..so i was preparing for it. cuz i was literally bored to TEARS. it's prolly hormonal though..but i was ready to start crying there just cuz i was having a horrible time. okay that sounds bad when i write here but it wasn't *that* bad, okay? but NO! after that song..she played like FIVE MORE. i just about died...her songs are really short.....but he finally said we could go..cuz i feel bad if i say i wanna go..so i let him stay as long as he wants, you know? but we left during her LaST song..and went home and i was TIRED! the next day was sunday..and it was kevn kinney day..this folk-rock guy from [larry's] home. so we went and i behaved myself. ;-) and it was actually a good day! kevn was good and larry got an autograph and a song request so he was happy. :D we ran into this street musician we've seen before. and it was a nice change..how else could we have heard ricky martin's 'vida loca' song on an accordian? *LOOOOOOL* we walked around so i could look for 'fo dolla scarfs' but there were none. *CRY!* and then we rode the monorail back downtown and looked into a few shops then went home. sunday was a shorter day, obviously..but it was the best day. :DDDDDDd on monday we laid around ALL DAY LONG! yessssss! we were totally relaxed and lar said he was ready to go to work on monday. *L* it was THAT relaxing. *heh* so far this week has been pretty good. just yesterday i did stuffs for lar..such as cake and laundry and we had fun talking and all. :D i've been pretty lazy about the page..but i figured i'd update it while i was online doing some emailing..which i've been slacking at as well. *d'oh* me! the rents' 25th anniversary was yesterday. i called them. betty and i got them engraved silver goblets and some chocos..i owe betty monaaay. *L* we hope they like the stuffs. but tonight i'm going home for my appts on friday. but foist, i'm going to pick up my pictures. which i'm sooo happy about! i hope they turn out well. cuz i have pics of other people on em..and i think they'd want a copy you know? so i hope they're goo!! *stomps* some friends are going up to canada this weekend. i found out there was room for me if i wanted to go..but i haven't decided yet. i'm a big conflicted about it and some issues it brings up..but we'll see. i guess that's all from here. sorry about not updating any sooner! hope you guys are doing good. :DDDD byeeee! oh yeah, i thought this picture was cute *heh*:
