Africa ain't just a place that gave us Bob Marley

Let me tell you there's nothing better than driving at night, in the rain, with some good music accompanying you. The car's all cozy and warm, the lights just reflects off the ground and the whole world is shiny... and there you are with Getz and everything just seems perfect. Actually, there's a lot of things better than that... but when you're in the moment, nothing beats that...



Like nothing beats fireworks...



or



There's nothing better than dancing provocatively in a doorway with your best girlfriends...



or



Nothing better than chocolate fondue.


Ok... I lie... There's seriously nothing better than chocolate fondue. I cry when I think about it.... I also salivate a little...



A lot of things make me happy I guess... :)

One day we'll find it, the ainbow-ray onnection-cay.

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

:)

Today since I was feeling a whole lot better, I was able to get out of bed and into the courthouse so that I can turn in my traffic school papers. But while at the window, there was a man next to me who I assume was having problem with whatever his felony was and started getting more and more agitated by the minute. Let me tell you, people getting yell-y and piss-y makes me nervous. I get nervous at work whenever I have to talk to an angry guest because I always imagine that they'll get really violent and hit me. Or bust out with a gun and kill me. Or just yell really really loud and some of their spit will get on me. Ew. I don't like yellers.

Anyways, so the guy was yelling and punching counters and I sure didn't want to be a victim of being in the "wrong place at the wrong time" so I shoved the certificate under the window and screamed "DISSMISS IT ALREADY!!" and ran. Then I went shopping. Nothing like shoes to make me forget the trauma almost getting shot (if it got to that point). Yay!!

Hold up a sec. I'm watching last friday's Battlestar and can we say that their form of dancing isn't futuristic at all? Really. But it does seem that in most Sci-fi shows, dancing in the future always seems like some sort of square dance or dancing in circles with skipping and a country folk itune. You'd think that with the trend of how dancing is now, it would be 10 times more raunchy and fracky. Just a thought.

Oh crap. I didn't see that happening. Poor Apollo.

You can do better buddy. You can totally do better. Cept I'm not feeling that Dee chick very much.

Oh what.... this is confusing...

And now I'm coughing. Look at what all this excitment has done to me.

Tama na. :)

Could you coo... could you care?

"Hi! How are you doing today?"
"I'm spiffy... thanks!"
"Oh wow... 'spiffy'. I haven't heard that in a long time..."
"Oh yeah? I'm bringing it back...""You're bringing 'spiffy' back?"

I'm in love I'm in love and I don't care who knows it! :) Actually I'm not, though my heart does quicken to clever word play.

Its funny, but for the first time in a while I'm "crushless." Granted I'm 26 years old and crushes seem to be synonymous with schoolgirls, but what can you do. I guess you can say I'm always learning. A part of me really thinks "Good for you." It's the proactive feminist shoulder angel that cheers when I open my own doors and constantly reminds me that I have a lot on my plate at the moment and that I certainly don't need any more complications. But the girly, romantic, abudantly silly shoulder angel makes me miss the ecstasy and the agony of the "crush". The eagerness you have to see someone if only for 2 minutes... and later replaying the entire encounter in your mind and hoping you didn't reveal too much or even too little. Calling your girlfriends and giggling because he said "hi" and wondering if that "hi" meant "hi" or "hi... take me."

See. Silly. The thing I miss is the optimism you have when you have a crush. One interaction can chage your day and sometimes, you really can't help but smile from that simple "hi".
I guess deep down inside I miss being "lame." :)

Last night was the holiday party and can I tell you that the best part of the night was Joe and I reveling in the fact that we had cheap churros?

"$2 churros? Oh my gosh!"
"WE CAN HAVE OUR OWN!"
"I can eat BOTH ends!"

If that isn't sheer happiness....
Who needs crushes when you can have cheap churros. :)

Crazy. Crazy for feeling so lonley....

I had the weirdest dream last night.

I dreamt that I was at my old house in San Dimas and playing Patsy Cline's "Crazy" on the piano... when Willie Nelson comes along and plays and asks me to sing the song. So after each verse he scrambles around the room and accompanies me with a different instrument... first the piano, then the citar (who remembers that thing!!), then the conga drum, then he goes to the guitar case and strums along with the acoustic guitar.

... and all the while I'm completely amazed cause I'm thinking "I can't believe he knows his way around here. He has really GREAT senses for a blind guy..."

... then I realize that its Willie Nelson and he isn't blind.

I really do hate it when I'm stupid in my dreams.

I hate you so much it makes my heart flutter.

"Come!"
"I'm tired! I was ready to go an hour and a half ago but you didn't want to go! You wanted to watch your DVD..."
"But now we're going. Just come!"
"UGH! You're so irritating! I'm sleepy!"
"Just come on already! We're going now."
"Go already!""Come on. Come!"
"Nooo..."
"Pleeeaaasssseeee..."
"GOSH! YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!! I WANT TO GO!!"

I don't know how I lost this fight... I relive it in my mind, but somehow it doesn't make sense.
But in the end, it isn't such a bad thing to lose.
:)

To the left. To the left.

"I had a french dip. Its a dip and its french."
"The dip! I put your hand up on my hip. When you dip I dip we dip?"
"Yes. But its french."
"So its with tongue?"
"No. That's the tootsie roll."

If you get it... I just might love you.

Well, it's my off day and I'm spending it in front of the computer (hence all the writing). I have traffic school I need to complete and thanks to the wonders of technology, I can do it online. Yipee skippy kids. Yippee skippy. I'm assuming that whoever came up with the idea kept in mind that while online traffic school is pretty convenient, it's gosh darn boring and every so often I'll come accross some tidbit of information that seems not too "professional" if you will. For example...

Parking can be as dangerous as driving if you're not careful. For example, if you're parked improperly on a hill, and your brakes give out, your car could drive off by itself, becoming a runaway missile on an unmanned mission of destruction.
If you can't avoid an accident, do your best to protect yourself. Did you know the Author's eye color is green.

No I didn't! Do you know that I think you're mentally attractive and possibly even dreamy depending on the fact that you may or may not be a creepy/scary/fugly/perverted/murdering/old man? Its like I'm having a friend is helping me out. THANKS HOMIE!

I'm just grateful I don't have to watch "Red Asphault 2". That would definitely put a damper on my day.

*Update: I finished in 4 hours. Kick ass! God bless the Kirk. God bless the internet... sorta. I mean, there are some questionable stuff I have issues with. But overall... yeah. Bless it good. :)

Its funny how you can look back at your horoscope and go "oh crap. That did happen." Because in my case it does quite often.

For example, yesterday's reading:
Your crackling energy takes a turn for the mellow and sweet early on in the day. Enjoy it to the fullest. Later on, you find an unexpected reservoir of power that propels you into tackling the next big thing.

Can I get a "AN HOW" to the power? Its funny when you think about it, everything changes your life. Waking up at 9am as opposed to 10am- your day could have been different already but you don't realize it. Flashback to yesterday, something happened that caused my heart to stop and my stomach to drop. I won't divulge into the dirty details because airing dirty laundry is tacky and well... I don't do tacky. But this really changed my life. It changed my mentality on how I look at things and made me realize that it happening right now was probably the best timing I could ask for.

Cryptic enough for you?

:) Don't fret my darlings. Life is good. Plus my horoscope for today is very promising because most of it makes sense already.

The main thing you need to do today, nicole, is just relax and enjoy your day! You may have a trip coming up that doesn't exactly thrill you, because you may be feeling a bit under the weather. Stay alert, for you may be receiving an important message today via fax, email or telephone from someone far away. You may also have a visitor arriving from out of town.

I know the visitor already. I'm chatting with Petey at the moment, so maybe he'll tell me that I need to save the cheerleader in order to save the world. And while I'm not quite too sure as to what the trip will be, goodness knows I need to get away so... so be it.
