Congratulations to Erin on successfully burning a CD... finally!!!

Does anyone else miss My So-Called Life? Cuz I really do... Jordan Cantalano, Brian Krakow, Angela (haha, I forget the main character's last name), Rayanne (okay, forgot her last name too...)... those kids were like part of my life in jr high. Remember when Jordan Cantalano (can anyone else not just call him Jordan? It reminds me of how I still call Paul "Paul Giffen" even though we dated for a month or so) wrote the poem "Red" and Angela thought it was about her, but it was really about his car? And remember when Rayanne had sex with him!?! Bitch! And poor Brian was eternally in love with Angela... and remember when Rayanne OD'd on Ecstasy? That was forever ago, when E was still in its infancy (actually, I have no clue... not very educated when it comes to stuff like that). But yeah, those were some good times, good times... I wish they'd bring back the FOX show Get Real too - that show was tight. I'm prolly the only one who even remembers it, but whatever, it was good.

I would do just about anything right now to feel your touch, to kiss your lips. I miss you so much it hurts, and sometimes it's just not possible to have a positive attitude about how much time is left till I see you again.

Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! I woke up an hour or so ago with the worst stomach ache ever... it's not like the nauseated kind of stomach ache, but the real "feels like someone's holding a demolition derby in my tummy" kind of PAIN :-(

So I know this is random, but I was thinking... who was the first person to decide that "cheese" was the best thing to say when getting your picture taken? Who was this very strange ringleader? And why did people follow his lead? And how did that expand to the entire picture-taking world saying "cheese"? Well, maybe not the whole world... maybe just America... I don't think they go, "Diga 'queso'!" in Spanish-speaking countries... Anyway, I think the first person was probably a lot like JB... he's always talkin about cheese :-P

I bought a book yesterday called The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love: A Fallen Southern Belle's Look at Love, Life, Men, Marriage, and Being Prepared. So far it's really cute, so if anyone's lookin for a book, I'd recommend it... well actually, it's probably not a guy's kind of book at all... very girly...

I swear, people are so bizarre... this girl and her boyfriend came into JCP yesterday and she was trying to get him to look at a bunch of stuff and try on stuff, but he was obviously not wantin to be there. So finally she got mad at him and was like, "Fine. Let's just go." Then she throws me this super bitchy "I want you to die" look and says, "They don't have anything good here anyway." Ummmm, wtf? First of all, why take your frustration out on me? Secondly, like I care that you don't think we have anything good? I didn't pick it out... doesn't hurt my feelings if you don't like it - I get paid whether you buy anything or not. And lastly, she was trying to get him to try on practically everything in the dept, so how is it that all of a sudden nothing's good enough for her? Like I said, sooooo bizarre... Oh, and these little kids (they looked about 11 or 12) got into a fight in my dept yesterday... they came running full speed through all the clothes, knocking tons of stuff over as they went, and I thought they were just chasing each other for fun. Then one of them tackled the other into a display of Jansport bags and was like, "You wanna fight bitch?!? Huh!?!" And there was pushing that commenced and stuff, but seriously, these kids were WAY too young to be fighting like that... My response? "Hey! I don't care if you guys fight, but could you not do it in my dept? I have to clean up your mess, ya know." So they left and became someone else's problem - I was gonna call Pierre, the security guard, but couldn't figure out his extension #, so I just gave up...

My mom gave me money to buy new shoes! And my grandma slipped me $100 yesterday and told me it was for back to school shopping! My grandma's awesome - she always knows when I'm feelin neglected :-P Oh, and my next day off is Saturday, so my grandma, mom, aunt, and I are gonna go have Japanese for lunch and then go out to a movie - I'm totally stoked... Yummmm... sushi... I'm sure it won't compare to Todashi, considering I'm like the only Asian person in the state of Florida, and I'm only half an Asian person... but whatever, I'm missing me some sushi!

JCPenney is my life, which is really upsetting... I'm so (I feel that the adverb "so" doesn't do justice to just how happy I am) happy that I'm not planning a career in retail. Wow, that would lick ass if I were doomed to work at JCPenney for the rest of my life.

"I smell the smelly smell of something that smells smelly."

"I think that bike shorts are the greatest invention ever." -- Jessi, the "punk/non-conformist" girl I work with... and she was totally serious when she said it. She actually, truly, in reality loves bike shorts. Ummmm, WTF!?! I swear the weirdest people in the world live in this town! Oh, so funny story about Jessi - her, me, and this girl Victoria were talking about Erick yesterday. Victoria said she thought Erick might be gay, and Jessi just about freaked out saying that there was no way he's gay, cuz if he were, then she would know. When Victoria and I asked why Jessi thinks her "gay-dar" is so keen, she proceeded to explain that many of the guys that she's dated have later turned out to be gay :-P Okay, okay... let me stop laughing... Okay, now then - if you have super sensitive powers that let you know exactly when a guy is gay, then why the hell would you date a guy who you knew would turn out to be gay? Also, can I just say that that is soooooo SAD!!! If numerous (or, ummm, ONE!) guys that I dated later turned out to not be attracted to the female gender... I might feel just a big responsible. I know that's not the way it works, but still... how embarrassing is that? I sooooo would not tell people, especially people I didn't know very well, that I basically turn guys gay. But I guess that's just one more difference between me and Jessi. Hmmm, so is Erick gay? I don't think so... he wears his clothes really tight, but he is in the Air Force, and I think they do that there... also, he's not really effeminate at all, so that gay stereotype doesn't apply. We haven't talked about girls/guys, so I don't know about that... He's the only person I look forward to seeing at work, though. Sucks though cuz he's only part time, so he's not there nearly as much as I am. He's a cool guy - moved to Miami from Nicaragua when he was younger, so he still has a bit of an accent... he's totally funny - if I were going to be here longer, I think I might become pretty good friends with him. But oh well, it's cool just goofing off with him at work... I'd so much rather be back in SD with my boy, though...

So has everyone downloaded John Mayer at my request? I hope so... if not, DO IT NOW! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

My cousin Kyle is the cutest thing ever - he just started playing Pop Warner football last week. He got his pads on Saturday, and since has only taken them off to go to SeaWorld and to sleep... and I'm sure if my aunt would let him sleep in them, he'd totally be down. He gets down into a three point stance in the living room and then rams into the couch :-P Sooooo, silly - he's wonderful to watch after work, cuz he makes me forget all about how much my feet hurt and how I don't wanna go to work the next day, cuz all I can do is laugh. Last night, after one of his numerous tackles with the couch, he fell onto his back and couldn't get up cuz his shoulderpads were too heavy - funniest thing I've seen in a long time...

So I just made a photo album on Yahoo! so everyone can see pics of my super fun time at Sea World... and there are a few of Kyle in his pads, so you can see how freakin cute he is. Erin's Pics! So visit this link if you're bored... I'll put up pics of my trip cross country as soon as I get them developed :-P I'm a slacker...

I get the funniest things in my inbox from porn sites and other people trying to make money... for example, I got one from Debbi today, and the subject was, "And his balls were in my mouth!" HAHAHA!!! I was really happy she decided to share that piece of info :-P

I had a good talk with Steve last night... I miss that guy. He was giving me very objective advice about whether I should go to South Africa... It's totally up in the air right now... I've decided to not stress about it right now, cuz I know everything will work out for the best in the end. Anyway, thanks Steve - talking to you is always a pleasure :-)

Babe, I miss you - KUNK! Goin to the circus without me!?! Yep, that's a kunk move fo sho... j/k, but I am super jealous. I don't get to talk to you nearly enough, it seems like... But you're always in my thoughts... always in my dreams...

I feel like I have absolutely no time at all to do anything I want to do anymore... I'm constantly working and it freaking blows, cuz I'm not even making a lot of money. I've been meaning to write a big old blog, but I just have no time. Like now, for example, I have to take a shower, eat something, then go to work cuz I'm scheduled from 12-9... UGH!!! This is gonna be a shitty, shitty, shitty day... the only thing that keeps me going is thinking about my boy and how wonderful it will be to see him in a month.

Wow, I'm such a computer genius - I totally figured out how to add a guestbook to my blog (and I know nothing about html, remember). I'm proud... now who's gonna be the first to sign??? (I was gonna do it, but didn't wanna seem like a loser - hahaha :P)

So do you think animals in captivity are ever like, "Dude, I'd like to take a shit now - could you stop staring at me for two seconds while I take care of bizness?"

Birds are the weirdest animals. In flight they're so beautiful - totally graceful and free... But have you ever watched one walking? They're so freakin awkward - with their wings tucked to their sides they look extremely off balance and just plain weird. That's why I feel sorry for birds that can't fly, like chickens and penguins, because they're always awkward-looking (no offense babe, this is an honest to goodness observation I had at SeaWorld today...).

I'm too tired to write more, but tomorrow I'll elaborate on my wonderful, wonderful day at SeaWorld... For now, I'm gonna sleep (for as long as I want - I don't have work till five tomorrow!!!) and dream about my boy (with his shirt off :D Yummy!).

I was talking to Ashlee, and then some freaky shit went down... still trying to get ahold of her again... and worrying...
