exercited!!

totally excited to come visit.
Tona is a must! hopefully it will be open.
as always very excited to see family and friends!
im sorry in advance for im only staying 4 days, i wont be able to spend alot of time with you all.

im thinking of getting a kitty.
im looking into this special breed called bengals.
there pricey but beautiful. i wanted a flat faced exotic shorthair but chris thinks they look like aliens. so i compromised on this breed. very cute.
we get to meet a couple kittens on sunday!

Chris has been horribly busy with school, philosophy club, studying for the GRE, and getting stuff together to apply to gradschools. dont really have a desire to move to NewYork next year, but it will be an adventure none the less.

work is still great!! the power went out last night at 7pm. right in the middle of dinner! i knew it was going to happen the wind and rain was soo strong last night. i had all my tickets printed out just in case it did! yeah i can tell the future, its no big deal :)

the one thing i couldnt get outa my head wile i was there was how perfect chris is.
now that im back its way too indescribable to even try. the 8 days i spent away from him made me only realize i could not spend another day of my life away from his presents.

im in love, true love.
i cant even see myself existing with out this completely compatible soul next to mine

dear lord is he perfect. if he doesn't just say and do the right things, then i must be deaf and blind

i dont even have a title for this blog
its been forever since i wrote but some shit has been going down

Jared and i have broken up, and he has moved out.
it was the hardest thing i had to do, in a long time.
I loved and still love Jared. he was a fantastic boyfriend and we got along very well.

But something happened in my mind that i didnt think i should spend all my time with one person, so i went on a date with another man.

my soul was broken, constantly sitting at a conference table with my own mind, deciding wat to do and tormenting myself of wat i did. now trying to repair it, i got to weekly therapy and i do many fun things throughout the day.

Life is ment to be experinced. i got to get myself out there and do that.


Mondays i have to go into work at 6am!!!! i do all food inventory now.

my phone service is up with tmobile... thinking of switching to verison or pay the big bill and get an iphone with at&t. any suggestions?


movies im excited for:
quentin tarantinos "inglorious bastards"
wes andersons "the fantastic mr fox"
tim burtons "alice in wonderland"

the sauce nailed it tho. also bought some ginger garlic paste that smells soo good.
Kona Coast : Ginger and Wasabi Teriyaki
the bottle is like this.

It has been so sunny and warm here! sunday we went to the driving range and hit some golf balls, yesterday we walked around the neiboorhood and played boche ball. there is this great side story were i was being mean to Jared and a minute later we had to jump across some mud, well i didnt make it, and ended up flinging mud all over my back side! yeah i learned my lesson.

Jared started school today, so im just relaxing in the sun until i work tonight.


just watched this movie: Milk
Very very good and powerful movie about the gay movement.
great actors, great story, could not complain. :)
ill give it 3 Strawberry Mexican popsicles. and a poptart

been stressed, the hospital wants my recent tax info and bank statements to see if i am accepted for the bridge assistance. even tho i gave them my recent info back in november!

so i got my taxes done with H and R block.. cost me alot of cash. but at least i know im getting 1300 back now, wich will pay off my debt, and get me started on the hospital bill.

been working 6 days a week, its my day off now :) so im just relaxin!

me and jared have not been to the gym in like 2 weeks, because his foot has been hurting :( so we have just been playing endless amounts of video games! me and jared have been doing very very good, im going to miss the hell out of him for the week im home.

god damn it was so good and easy!!!!!(wish i had a pic)
ill have to make it for you sometime

today me and Jared went to circuit city, because they are closing soon, we wanted to buy a few things for a good deal you know?

i got an xbox360 for Jared for valentines day! it was hella cheap and i knew he wanted one

sicko


me and jared watch Michael Moores film SICKO last night
maybe he does elaborate.
but god damn. so many other countries have government free healthcare..
and people that pay for healthcare here cant even afford care still?

anyway, it made me want to move to europe, canada is closer.
but wouldnt it be nice to walk into a hospital, get the treatment. and never worry about a bill
im still waiting to see if my 8,000 dollar emergency room bill will be deduced...........

paid vaction, paid sick days.... luxuries most americans never see. put even part time europeans get to enjoy. they dont even pay for college.

i know taxes would be higher. but if they can do it. so can we.

okay okay im ranting....

love you all! miss you all! cant wait to hang out in UTAR

a phone in the toilet

i always thought it just happened to those stupid drunk girls.. but it happened to me.....
yes i dropped my phone in the toilet..
i let it dry under a light for 2 days and it worked for a few minutes, then did a blank screen
bought a prepaid tmobile phone for 90 bucks (yeah its a RAZR) put my chip in it and were good to go.

work has been okay, i have a rude lesbian manager that like to point out my flaws all the time. but ill get over it. she is funny rude, in a way that i am sometimes. so its all good. server revues are next week. ill let you know how that goes. i do feel like im not on my A game sometimes while serving. i just want to be the best of the best you know?

would love to get to utah for my sisters baby shower, and for my friend amandas bday.
but i have to be back home for mine and jareds one year anniversary!

money has been a little tight, the electric bill was $130

so far, so good.

this new year is going to be good it has too be
so far Jared turned 26 on the 6th and it was such a wonderful birthday. sushi and friends.
i wish i could have bought him something better and more expensive. like an xbox360.

talked to my sister erica for and hour yesterday... very fun too learn about her baby stuff.

the weather has been rainy. and i guess western washington is flooded from the snow and rain?
im not effected.

work has been good, 3 servers have been fired! i feel so lucky. they didnt do anything wrong, just that they were not the best servers.





I am an awkward person. i am. im not normal. i do things and act different than most people and i dont know why. I find conversing with people awkward at most times. It could be my shyness.

i love it though.. id rather be me that be some regular FAKE person.

new years resolutions

Ive decided.... that too make me happier this year
i am going to trust Jared.
put all my faith and love into him. and trust that he will be true and good to me.
he deserves to be trusted, and i don't deserve to be worried.
i feel that if i do this, it will be true.

had an awesome time hanging out with my work friends on new years. first time ever hanging out with them outside of work!!! thanks to Jared for helping me stop being a butthole*

jareds bday is on the 6th!! he has this planned : early morning dentist appointment.. then work? i took off the day.... i want to do something awesome for him... sushi...... i really want to make his birthday special for him.....
