Here comes the lipstick
To keep you up to speed, I've had two dates and a couple of 2 hour long conversations... It's amazing how easy it is to get comfortable with someone. According to my sister, the next date means we'll be knocking boots. hahaha. Nah I couldn't do that, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing so.
It does make sense what my sister said, guys wine and dine you to get into your pants. We ladies always have to be one step ahead and smart enough to not fall for the bull shit lines guys spit at us. Hopefully I'm at the age when I realize that "hey girl, what the deal?" is actually translation for "so when are we having sex?" (FYI I've heard both those lines and I actually dated the guy who was up front with me... Nice).
Anywho, where do I see myself and this guy? No freaking clue. For once I'm actually taking it one day at time. Our last date was fun. Food + arcade + bowling + 2 hour talk in the rain = a third date. He has planned an "all day date" for Tuesday. I have a suspicion that he is going to take me to California adventure because I've never been. He also wants to take me snowboarding for a weekend, but my weekends in January are all booked. Oh well. Besides, we may not even make it thru next week.
Wednesday is also our first public appearance. Aye dios mio that's going to be interesting.
Yay!
The greatest movie of all time came out on Tuesday. Yes, I am talking about Garden state. LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie. There are so many great lines and sooo many touching moments. I don't think I can ever get sick of it. Go buy it, even if you haven't seen it buy it.
party like it's 1999
Tomorrow is new years eve. I am on mom duty. I am kind of bitter. I mean it's my first new years where I'm actually allowed to drink the champagne when the clock strikes 12, but I have mom duty. Then again, this is the woman who gave birth to me, picked me up from all my practices, and girl scouts meetings, the least I can do I spend my first official new year's with her. Maybe a dinner at the old spaghetti factory, or we'll head to old town Pasadena depending the traffic left behind by the rose parade.

Girl I know this might seem strange
But let me know if I'm out of order
For stepping to you this way
See I've been watching you for a while
And I just gotta let you know
That I'm really feeling your style
Cause I have to know your name
And leave you with my number
And I hope that you would call me someday
If you want you can give me yours too
And if you don't I ain't mad at'ch you
We can still be cool cause
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend
I just wanna know your name
And maybe some time
We can hook up, hang out, just chill
Damn I'm surprised that you called
Cause the way you walked away
I thought I wasn't gon see you no more
Since you didn't wanna give me your math
I thought that you were diggin' me
And wasn't diggin' me
But anyway what you doing tonight
I'll probably be with my peeps
If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by
And you can just chill with us
Or you can just chill with me
As long as you're comfortable
And you feel secure when your with me cause
Oh, oh, baby yeah
Maybe we can oh
Go and see a movie girl
Or maybe we can hang out girl
Whatever you wanna do
Just let me know
It's up to you
tis the season
when my sister was drunk last night she gave me a few tips on life:
1. don't put out until after the 3rd date
2. never let anything or anyone get in the way of reaching your dreams
3. always know that you're priceless
good advice. Especially the last one.
merry christmas everyone!!!!
update
the date turned out pretty well...
picked me up at 7
gave me a rose
dinner at PF Changs
game of mancala
and ended with a goodnight hug
we're gonna do it again soon.
hello
i'm on a date...
is it strange i'm thinking about someone else?
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery
I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Make a wish it's 11:11
It's been awhile since I've actually been the one to point out that it's 11:11. I made a wish, we'll find out in a few weeks if it came true or not.
Instead of studying like a good student, I decided to put up pictures in my room. Pictures make it a lot more homey. You look up and are able to remember all the good times in your life and you can't help but smile. It's fun stuff. For instance, right next to my head there's a picture of Bennie baby magnets that are involved in a threesome. hahahaha. The last things I need to put up are mirrors, Vegas pictures, and the garden state poster (I don't have it yet, but I will).
Oh yeah, so the AMA banquet was Saturday. I have to say it all panned out. Our theme was Hollywood. Street signs, a walk of fame, and the Hollywood sign included. Even Elvis was able to make it. I won an award, I pseudo mini Oscar that says "best women" instead of best woman. Hahaha. I figure it's me who represents all the wonderful ladies in the American marketing association. Dinner was "ite." Dancing would have been awesome if we had a better DJ. The DJ must had thought we were at a kickback at someone's house getting high, because all the songs were chill. I'm talking like hotboxing chill and very very 90's. We had some requests in so we got to drop it like it's hot and do the 1-2 step. Overall I had a really great time.
Finals Tomorrow:
Women in Sports @ 10:15
Human Resources Management @ 12:30
Finals for Thursday:
International Business @ 8am <----this one is going to suck cock
Information Systems is take home wooo-hoo :P
Conundrum!
I have so many thoughts running my head. It's been a great semester and I've truly had a lot of fun. According to recent realizations I've figured that out of a scale of 1-10 of happiness, I am at a 8.5. That's pretty fucking happy. I did it all on my own too. No dependencies on anyone, but myself. If only I can take the time to actually study for finals.
*******
The other night, someone made it loud and clear that he likes me. I have known all along, but it was set in stone. He told someone that he thought that I was an awesome person with a great personality. When we were magically alone (I say that with a lot of sarcasm) , he asked if I wanted to hang out sometime, perhaps grab a drink. Of course he couldn't just ask, if I wanted to out on a date with him. I said yah or did I say sure? I don't remember, but he got my number. To be quite honest, I'm thrilled someone asked me out, I don't know if I'm that thrilled that he asked me out. No harm in trying it out tho.
*******
So I might do a late night road trip to SD this Friday. Oh how I've missed those. Leave at 7pm come back at 4am. I am pretty excited about it. Hopefully it all works out. It should be interesting. The shit I get myself into...
I guess I better study for finals. Nothing better to do. Ha!
It doesn't only happen in the movies
School has been my main priority as of late. Finals are just around the corner and I must do extremely well to keep my good grades. Remind me again why I volulnteered to be apart of A.M.A.'s decorating committee for Saturday's banquet? Non lo so - translation, I have no fucking clue. It must be the lack of sleep or the crack... Or maybe, just maybe, it's both?
Luckily I have no class Monday or Wednesday so school will be the only activity on my agenda starting Sunday. I just want to get it over with.
Like I said before, my banquet is this Saturday for A.M.A. I have to go. No ifs and or buts about it, I can't get out of it. Why may you ask? Well, I got elected by my fellow members to be Vice President of Communications, which means I'll be presented with the passing of the candle from old the old VP of Comm. Yeah it's cool, I guess, but I would have preferred to be VP of socials.
I am mad about the whole thing actually. Probably more bitter and regretful. I have been to about 85% of the meetings and socials combined this semester, but a guy, who I might add isn't even a marketing major won the position. Yes, his speech was more lively, but just because he is a good speaker doesn't mean he'll do a good job. He only went to one social event and a few of the meetings. Tell me again why he won? When the lines are drawn, it just isn't fair.
I am also mad at myself only because I didn't do a better job in representing what I have to offer, which is a lot. I think what really won the group was him saying "Free beer!" shows how shallow people really are. I swear it's just like it is in the movies, when the cheerleader wins the title of president over the one who really deserves it. Not that this guy is popular within the group because he isn't, and he has the horrible Spanish accent which annoys me, and he wears way too much cologne... I'll just stop there. Anyways, we'll have to wait and see how the next semester goes. (the devil on my left shoulder is saying, I hope he fails miserably and gets kicked out of the position so I can reign over the title "Vice president of Social Affairs!" muahahahahahaha... muhahahahahahaha. "excellent" [taps fingertips together] and scene).
Where's that damn clicker?
I don't' know if it's time for reflection, but I've been constantly thinking about the past. In the most random of moments, I suddenly find myself in a memory ranging from my first year of college to now. You can see it in my face that I'm somewhere else, especially when I start laughing out loud. I just can't help it. I live in the moment, even if the moment appends to be in the past.
I think I'm amazed in the speed of each day. It feels like I turned 21 a week ago, and I started the fall semester yesterday, and in two weeks from now I'll be done with all my finals. Someone pressed the fastforward button and forgot to press stop because tomorrow is here way too soon.
As a first year in college, I would have never imagined myself where I am now. First year, I wanted to be a in Public Relations, a comm major, with a minor in psych and soc. How things have changed. I am now a marketing major, with a minor in management and Italian. Marketing and PR are quite similar, but I'm on a way different path. I wont graduate for another two years, but fuck it I'm going to Italy.
I talked to a friend in the study abroad office and she says I'm a shoe in for a participant in the program. I just need to emphasize on the Italian Minor. I will arrive at my school August 25th 2005 and return May 20 2006.
As much as I want that day in August to be here, I want to be able to spend as much time with family and friends before the date. Especially with my godson/nephew Lil Leo. I know he'll grow so much in that time, I just hope he doesn't forget me. Josephine isn't even born yet, and jus thinking about all the moments I'm gonna miss -her first word, first step, all of it... it breaks my heart. Leaving everyone else is a little bit easier just for that fact that we will be able to talk, but I'll still miss them while I'm having the time of my life in Italy. :)
In conclusion, I wish there was a remote control to life, so I was able to rewind, stop, pause, and fast forward to my favorite parts.
I'm off to a fashion show in Costa Mesa... Woo hoo. It should be fun ;)
