09:28 am - well if a quiz says it...must be true You Belong in London A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well. What City Do You Belong In?

01:07 am well today has been a wildly successful day. i got up at 6am (an accomplishment in itself, for those of you who know me, especially with this time change), got to work relatively on time thanks to michelle letting me drive her car. i love driving lately; i'm sure it's because i don't have access to my car (that itself is falling apart) so when i get a chance to drive and listen to the radio it is simply elating. plus adam kept me company on the phone most of the way. once at work, i put in my two weeks and worked out the last of my schedule at the hotel. at this point, my background check hasn't gone through for the apple store but i'm confident and figure that even if i don't get the job i'm freaking tired of the hotel and tourist season is right around the corner and i can't handle it. so i drive home, pick up my final prototype for design 300, change into an adorable new outfit and head down the stairs to find the 28 oh-so-conveniently waiting for me. and it was a GORGEOUS day. head to school only to realize i left all my cash and my debit card in my other pair of pants so i can't print out stuff for class. here come patrick-the-best-roommate-ever to give me some cash. while we were hanging out we were approached by two kids trying to recruit us to work at hollister...which is interesting. class was great. linder liked my prototype and i'm confident if i can just find the time to make the damn thing it might just be proud of it. i took the 29 home so i could get some caffeine at starbucks but before said-glorious-caffeine could enter my bloodstream, I GOT A CALL FROM THE APPLE STORE ON MARKET OFFICIALLY OFFERING ME THE JOB! i'm starting at more than i'm making hourly now and i'm suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper excited. after my caffeine boost i came home. and cleaned. the whole. house. living room (which was buried underneath pounds of cardboard/chipboard/lectromat scraps) , hallways, my room, the rat cage, the rats themselves AND my wallet. the kitchen and the stairs are tomorrow. the bathrooms are not my jurisdiction this week. i felt like if i didn't keep moving i would just fall apart. and now i'm watching stranger than fiction. which is surprisingly decent. goodnight.

12:17 pm - will someone design me the perfet pillow? i can't anymore... it's only the second week in the semester and i'm already exhausted and behind. i thought being a design major would mean that, yeah, i have a lot of work but i would *mind* doing it and keeping up on it. but being creative is tiring!! i have 4 three hour classes and when i come home, all i want to do is sleep or watch a movie. i'm just now realizing how much this semester is going to kick my ass and really test me. and it's only going to get harder once i go to london...

01:10 pm - ikea trip!! i got new curtains, a bedspread, an entryway table, folding bar chairs (for the bar table i got off of craigslist to replace my crappy kitchen table), a pillow, a shower curtain, a basket and a thing to hang keys on by the front door. all this, plus the new roomie michelle's stuff (bookshelf, "closet", chair, desk, and various other odds and ends) we actually got to fit in a bitty tiny saturn. damn we're good! i was hoping the new ecore would help me spice up my room a bit... but it's the same as it was before, just different colors. *sad* something else needs to change, but what??? Current Mood: disappointed

12:01 pm i just got back from a *wonderful* vacation with kate to VEGAS!!! we had sooo much fun! we stayed at harrah's (rhymes with sara's) and hit almost all the things we wanted to see. next time, though, we're going for longer! 2 nights just not enough time to really get the vegas experience, in my opinion. pictures are, of course, on flickr. go check 'em out! side note - i found a roommate to take brandon's room when he leaves on the 1st. don't get me wrong, i'm really gonna miss him, but it's nice to have the whole situation resolved. and she seems like a pretty cool kid. i'm glad i found a state student and she just seems really easy to live with. and i am so ready to get back to SF and back to some normalcy. i'm looking forward to school, work and routine. i have an interview at a nearby cafe/art gallery/bar called the canvas. we'll see whta happens. i also have some applications in at the apple store. and now i'm off to lunch and a movie with my daddy. he was in the hospital last week for an irregular heartbeat (scary!!) and so we're spending some time together before i go home tonight.

12:44 am - i fail... ...at taking a picture a day. but i've decided it's too narcissistic anyways. plus, i'm finding that ALL i'm taking is pictures of myself and nothing else. blech. i'll keep trying to take/post more pictures of myself, but i'm going to make a conscious effort to take more pretty pictures while i'm at it. ps - the girls are out... and i have no idea where there are!

07:12 pm - just registered for classes... (REVISED!) you would not believe the horror stories i have been hearing about how difficult it has been for students to register these past few days with the sever hosting gatoreg being completely packed with panicked pre-finals kids. so i have been so terrified about registering today, absolutely positive it would take me hours to register. this year i have senior status (!!!) so i had a pretty good date, but i was just certain that it would be to no avail. however, i got on at my appointed time (6:30) and was able to register for all my classes, no problem, with the exception of 1 class, which was full, but i was kinda expecting that. being in an impacted major after serious budget cut has the tendency to make all the needed classes fill up *really* fast. not getting that one class left me with only 9 units, so i signed up for a class i am supposed to take in the summer (digital media)...maybe they'll offer the class i'm missing *this* semester later in the summer semester. also, mother-dearest likes me to take 15 units, so i signed up for a cinema class for "fun" just in case my digital media class has to be taken after i finish another class (that way i'll still have 12 units). so here it is!! spring 2007: monday: design process 2:00 - 5:00 tuesday: ASL I 11:00 - 12:15 digital media 2:00 - 5:00 computer graphics 6:00 - 9:00 wednesday: design process 2:00 - 5:00 comm & pres 6:00 - 9:00 thursday: ASL I 11:00 - 12:15 digital media 2:00 - 5:00 computer graphics 6:00 - 9:00 NO FRIDAY CLASSES!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!! that's 16 units, including the 1 unit cinema class i'm going to take over one weekend (2 days and you've gained a whole credit! woohoo!). i'm actually alittle scared of this schedule...

05:06 pm - a big step so today i began my application for studying abroad in the bilateral program to brunell university in london, england. if all goes according to plan (as in i get accepted into the program) i will be studying in the uk from august '07 to May '08, an academic year. for a while there i was really pumped to go and then the enthusiasm faded as i realized the due date for applications and letters of recommendation would be due on the 15th of december. but low and behold! the due date is actually march 1st and i am so excited again!! i have to admit, i'm freaked out. and if i'm this freaked out now, what am i going to be like the closer it gets to the day i'm supposed to leave?? or when i get off the plane in another country?? Current Mood: a little freaked out

12:47 am - composed for my very own new macbook to be sung to the tune of the "toys 'r us" theme song (it works, i promise you...) (c) ally so i finally gave in, now i'm a mac-kid. it's got a million toys and stuff that i can play with! from i photo to safari games, and the coolest web-cam there is! gee whiz! i didn't want to switch, but now i'm glad i did! or i would't be a new macbook-kid!! so i find myself an owner of a brand new MacBook. and i am THRILLED!! happy birthday to meeeeeeee! i know how to navigate OSX (right?) fairly well, but still don't really know how to use it efficiently, or know what the hell i'm doing. i'm guessing that just takes lots of time and muscle memory. my mac-friends should be very proud of me. Current Mood: so tired i'm loopy Current Music: stoopid toy 'r us song is stuck in my head

03:31 pm - 3 days later so i had the most wonderful birthday weekend a girl could have asked for!! i never spent a penny on drinks, i was surrounded by most of my favorite people in the world, i got just drunk enough to be WONDERFULLY happy and not hung over the next morning (except for that first night) and felt safe and loved throughout the whole experience. i just wish SOME of us had remembered to take some fucking pictures!! i have no proof... but thank you all SO much for coming and making my 21st birthday one of the best ones i've ever had! now i have to whole rest of my life in front of me to order *anything* i want on menus!. i can grab a modelo when i go to my favorite mexican restaurant! yaaaaay! now it's time to buckle down and get through the rest of this semester and beyond. i have plenty of essays and chapter outlines to write, a crap ton of sketches i need to catch up on, finals to study for, christmas presents to make and buy and figure out my living situation for when my lease runs out the 1st of february. i'm thinking that i'm going to re-lease; to save me the stress of searching/moving and worrying about where will allow me to take the girls. plus, i figure that with the boys leaving, i'll have more of a choice of who will be living with. but patrick is still not really sure, so i'm waiting on him. anyone wanna come live with fabulous me? $600 utilities!! pleeeeeeease? btw, if anyone keeps up with my flickr account, i'm beginning a project. i am attempting to get more comfortable in front of the camera and be behind it a little less often. so i am attempting to take a daily portrait of myself and post it on flickr, be it a good picture or...a less...flattering...one. if i start slacking, give me crap for it!! i just got back from target... i now own my very own first christmas tree!! i got a fake one, but i love it just as much as any of the real trees i've had throughout my life because it's *mine* and i'll have it for a very long time. and it's all *purple* ornaments, and lights and garlands. it's the epitome of an ally-tree! i adore it. brandon and i are going to try and convince patrick to get his own tree (because brandon has his own little one) so we can have a little forest in the living room. this year i will be in love with christmas. i will not let this season get me down like last year. i will: -be lighthearted and cheery -look forward to, and enjoy, singing christmas carols -attempt a batch of gingersnap cookies -realize it doesn't snow in this part of california and will not be disappointed when it doesn't miraculously fall from the heavens -fill stockings with joy and happiness -happily look forward to wearing a santa hat -not grumble *too* loudly when grandma ferne does not accept "sorry, i have to go to work, i can't make it to church on christmas eve" this year -be the living embodiment of the christmas spirit, damnit, if it nearly kills me Current Mood: chipper Current Music: christmas!!

10:38 am - yay for vets day! kate's here!! veteren's day shut down her campus so she doesn't have to work in the library and therefore had a day off to come and see her favorite person in the world; me! we went out to dinner last night in the new part of the mall. i don't remember the name of the restraunt (straits, maybe?) but it was a really "trendy" asian/thai/indian/malaysian kinda restraunt. it was family style so we ordered this *really* good salad with apples and shrimp and some garlic frech fries with amazing dipping sauces (but did they call them french fries? no....) and my favorite part was these pan seared mussles in this pepper sauce with rice. it was *amazing*. i will most definitly have to go back someday. there was some serious waddling sfter that meal. after dinner we headed up for a movie up at the top of the mall. we saw "running with scissors" and i believe it's the first time i have ever really seen a dark comedy like that. i thought it was just going to be funny, and kate tried to talk me out of it cuz she knew it wasn't really my style, but i realy ended up enjoying it. i'd reccomend it just because it's a true story. my favorite quote: "hope! what are you doing in here! this is my maturbatorium!!" then after an interesting ride back home (i forgot the muni stopped running underground at 10pm and then it broke down at some point once we got on the N) we grabbed some cheap wine and watched memoirs of a geisha on my bed and giggled a lot. which is what we always seem to do. and now i am eating peanut butter toast and drinking mint tea and waiting for my advil to kick in because i have a wicked headache. Current Mood: slightly hungover

12:55 am so here's an interesting phenomenon... i am looking forward to thanksgiving this year. granted, i turn 21 that night, which is something to look forward to, bu i think i'm really looking forward to seeing my family! wow, weird. maybe it's because i'm feeling a little bit alone right now. maybe it's all the cards i've been getting from family saying "can't wait to see you at thanksgiving!". but still! i have never once really looked forward to the family gatherings that center around this holiday. it's all stems from my only-child syndrome of wanting a special day birthday. but no matter how i look at it, i just can't wait to see my whole family this year, mom and dad's side both. . . . . . weird.

10:58 pm - i'm okay so. life is different than it was a month ago. very different. but in some respects just the same. the girls still make me giggle at thier adorableness. my best friends are still by my side. the public transportation system here still sucks my non-existant dick. and i'm still me. realitivly. i miss you, yes, but i'm okay. i will be myself again soon, maybe more myself than before. i'm painting. going to movies. catching up on my knitting and schoolwork. enjoying the rain. baking cupcakes. napping because the constant sounds of traffic have lulled me to sleep while watching CSI marathons. going home and actually hanging with the fam. i'm okay. i promise. Current Mood: okay Current Music: all-american rejects
