YAY YAY Disneyland was FUN! :)
Ok... what was really cool about last friday was that there was barely any lines.. and if there were lines it would be on rides where you wouldn't think there normally would be rides... like the Jungle Cruise or Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. But for the big rides like Space Mountain or Thunder Mountain... they were basically walk throughs. So hmmmm... where to start.
Met up with Melissa, Nick and Chrissy at Disneyland around 12:45ish because amazingly enough they got lost and didn't see the BIG HUGE SIGN that said Disneyland while driving on the street. ;) But yay we all got there and got the tickets and went inside... so since there wasn't a lot of people there, we went on Star Tours, Space Mountain, Small World, Mr. Toads, Snow White (more on this ride later), Big Thunder, Pirates, and Splash Mountain... all before 5pm when Carlene met up with us. Then we did a little shopping at Downtown Disney and then back into the park for Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain (again) and to watch Fantasmic. :) YAY DISNEYLAND!
"That was trippy"
*nick getting off of SMALL WORLD
okok.. so Snow White is one sadistic ride. First of all, theres only one Snow White appearance and its in the very begining. Most of the time, you're in the forest and the wicked witch is just coming out from all over the place and is just straight up creepy. I don't know why this ride is so freaky, but it is. Theres the queen turning into the witch... and then shes coming at you with an apple... and then shes about to get crushed by the rock and the doors open and the ride is over and the wall states "AND THE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER." Woah... where was the prince? Where was the whole true love's kiss? Where was the part when Snow White ate the apple?? I really don't like Snow White in the first place (helllo.. she was subservient woman who cooked and cleaned for 7 men. Also, she only had her looks to depend on. That's annoying. Girl.. get a backbone.) but the ride is pretty scary in this hilarious "oh my goodness I can't believe im getting freaked out in this kiddie ride" sort of way. Go check it out next time you're there. Muhahaha
Anyways, had a great time just being dorky, taking weird pictures while on the rides, and catching up with Mel. (the Small World trees reminded me of Lisa's house annd the confusion as to why there is one filipino doll and 3 topless mermaids in that ride is still a wonder.) heheheheh.. getting the lowdown of her and Ralph... AWWWW! ;) And when Carlene came, it was just continous eating for some reason.
The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. On Saturday, went to CPP's CKI fest with Carlene (who happily boasted that it was her first CKI event as a member of CSULB). Oh my gosh, we played "Capture the Flag" which is a game that I have never played before but it was so much fun despite being shoved into the dirt by Carlene and Mike-Bob who came viciously came running toward me as I was guarding the tree where our flag was perched atop of. So now my knees are aching and bruised. But despite all the leaves and dirt in my hair because of the "push" I still had a lot of fun. Saw a lot of faces that I haven't seen since the summer started and I got to pop some water balloons. :) YAY!
Sunday was the day of absolute laziness. But in a good way of course. Joe, Mondo, and Carrie came over after Leaderscape and Joe sorta kinda cleaned out my computer of random programs that I don't use or need anymore (but for some odd reason, its running slower) and then we went and met with Mom and Carlene for lunch. Then it was back home just to lounge about and debate about pregnant men and chivalry. :)
Today, had a club meeting and I swear, I just love my club and the new members. :) They're are sooo cute and happy. We have a new piggy bank for Happy/Sad quarters whom we named "Elephante" and some of the members were just putting quarters in it say that "they were happy to be a part of the club." AWWWW!! Adorable huh. Meetings are just so much fun and everyone is just so nice and friendly and great. :) i'm gushing huh... can't help it. They're just too cute! Stephanie is doing great as president and shes on the ball of organizing things. Kristen is so cool and like ready to conquer her position as Secretary. And everyone has this cool chemistry with the group and its just so laid back and chill... :) Its gonna be an awesome year!

first things first...
HAPPY BIRTDAY MANNY!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE-BOB!!
I'm 2 hours late... their birthdays were on the 26th. :) But I hope they had some great days... AND whats kinda cool is that I got to see both of them today. :) First saw Birthday-boy Manny at his little birthday get together at Q's in Pasadena where he was already belligerant when Carrie and I met up with him at 9:30pm. :) The club was fun... got to meet some of Birthday-boy Manny's friends who were all pretty nice and all somewhat drunk, and the music was good. There I discovered that Birthday-boy Manny in his drunken stupor has this look of absolute seriousness when he's freaking a girl. HAHA! :) The only thing is that I had a long day earlier and so I wasn't feeling it much and basically was just tired. So Carrie, Mondo and I went on this search for boba or at least something that was open so that we can chill and rest a bit before going home, but alas, everything was closed. It was then when we were rejected from Cheesecake when we ran into the other birthday boy. We were walking down Fair Oaks when we hear some people screaming some evil things about Filipinos behind us. I heard it, was irked, but ignored it thinking it was some drunken fools from one of the surrounding clubs. Then... we hear someone scream "hey! Isn't that the Circle K govenor?" and it was then that we realized that someone knew who we were. It was birthdayboy Mike-Bob and Linda! Yay! So we chit chatted awhile... and then pretty much gave up on our search for "something" and we all went home.
:) Anyways, it looks like Birthday-boy Manny wasn't the only one who was drunk tonight...
EclipseJMR: i feel honored to have a friend like you
EclipseJMR: love ya

Tomorrow (errr today) I'm gonna go to Disneyland with Melissa, Nick, their cousin Chrissy, and Carlene! :) WHOOOHoooo! We're probably gonna go BUCK WILD since its been a while since we've done an outing like this! Gosh.. I feel like such the disney whore... but its such a happy place. Not to mention they have some really cute guys working there. Adventureland is just filled with those Indiana Jones type of guys who just look plain adorable in their khaki and open shirts and hats. *sigh* It IS the happiest place on earth!!

Wow... was that American Idol reunion CHEEEESSSYY or what!!? It was hip thrusting and hair thrashing overkill!! And what was up with that "lets dress up the girls in harem outfits and have them sing on top of rocks" desert montage? Did anyone noticed that EJ has a creepy resembalance to GEORGE MICHAEL during his WHAM! days? Hey AJ... STOP! Hey RYAN... STOP! JIM... Put on some glasses.. and then STOP! Hey Justin... I like that open shirt look... ;) Can we say grrrrrr!?!? Tamyra had a lot of airtime... and Nikki barely any. That was weird... But at least Kelly was singing well and was as cute as ever. :) Yeah... I don't know about that whole concert though... it was like watching a high school music revue.
Anyways, on a more serious note...
About 6 years ago, there was a brush fire in San Dimas, and the hills of northen San Dimas were all on the verge of evacuation. My mom, Carlene and I were gonna go to the Montclaire mall but while driving, we noticed the smoke coming from the hills, so mom decided that it would be best that we go back. When we got back home, firetrucks were already zooming to end of our street and all the neighbors were outside looking up at the hills, fire, and helicopters. The police came and said that evacuation was a possiblity, so we started packing like crazy. It was amazing because a lot of our friends and family were watching the news, recognized our neighborhood, and came by with trucks and offers of help. So with cars packed and ready to go on a moments noticed, we all just camped out and waited for news... and then we saw the greatest thing. A plane cameby and successfully dropped water onto majority of the fire... after that, the intesity of the situation died down and we were told that we were out of danger. That night, it was Maria's birthday gathering and Melissa (who lives on the otherside of the hill) and I were just going off on our fears of fires and evacuation and how we felt we were lucky because nothing happened.
Yesterday, I noticed the a smoke cloud in the sky. This morning, the whole sky was gray and the source of it was in the foothills. It made me recall the memory of our near-evacuation and I prayed for the wellbeing of everyone in that area. It was later today that I learned that it actually was a fire, and to make it worse, it was in Glendora, so I immediently thought of the hill that St. Lucy's is on and worried for my old high school. Then around 9, I get an Im from Keri saying that it was a good thing that I moved because the chances of my old house getting burned down were pretty big... and Keri herself was on the verge of evacuation. :( Worried about everyone, I called Melissa to see if she has heard from her family and their home... they're pretty packed up and ready to go.
I'm scared for my friends and their families. Tonight, the fire is still going but there aren't any planes making water drops because it is nighttime. There are hundreds of firefighters, but the heat and lack of humidity isnt helping. So now I just ask that everyone pray that everything goes will throughout the night and that everyone will be ok.

:) so I've been doing more thinking on this *guys are assholes* idea and I've come up with more...
No no no wait.. don't leave. Some of you guys might like this one.
So... my new theory now is that lesbians are geniuses.
Really... think about it. Women today really have no real need for men. We're stronger than ever so can lift our own boxes and open our own jars... and with the invention of sex toys and sperm banks, there really is no physical need men in our lives. We have our fellow girlfriends to whom we can rant, gossip, and get manicures with... AND we can't forget the endless hours of shopping we all do together.
But there's still something that makes us have huge, outrageous crushes on men. This need to be loved and wanted by them... its an illness. Its absolutely sick and yet, we are always sitting pretty waiting for the right "one" to come along and sweep us off our feet.
Carrie pointed out to me that men think with 2 things... their head and their penises. . Hey... at least they can blame a lot of their actions on that.... as for women... we can only blame one thing.. our own heads. So its now that I think life would be easier if everyone was a lesbian because women have this idea of what other women need since we all have the same mindframe (somewhat). But then again... I don't think so. That woman/woman thing is just too weird for me. I need that testerone that only a real man has to make me feel safe and truly loved. P
P O T A T E YO: Penises are scary...what was God thinking on that one?
HAHAHAHAHA that's so true.
Anyways... scary or not... its still something that a lot of women crave. (not the penis itself... just the thing that its attached to.)
Where am I going with this? Absolutely nowhere... but it was something that was on my mind today. :) Gosh... I've been thinking too hard lately huh....
*jerry springer's final thought*
P O T A T E YO: nice woman...but the woman thing doesn't do it for me...
P O T A T E YO: le sigh...that's the problem with your lesbian theory...
spaznik: not here either... but youd think that life would be easeir if we were lesbians..
spaznik: then we can all fall in love and put the men on an island..
P O T A T E YO: hahha
spaznik: where they can grunt and form their own football teams.
P O T A T E YO: we could treat them like wild monkeys and only approach them when we need to tranqualize them to collect sperm for the women to reproduce
P O T A T E YO: hahaha
P O T A T E YO: they could have wild kingdom specials on it
spaznik: wow...
P O T A T E YO: and Steve Irwin's wife Terri could be the host

wow.. yesterday I almost lost it. Borderline insane....
I guess work, school, tests, cramps, and cki worries got to me and sooo close to quitting everything and joining the circus... I don't know where there is a circus nearby... but THAT was my plan. And the kicker was that it was ONLY TUESDAY!! I still had 3 more days until the weekend...
Anyhoo... I pretty much camped out with my book last night and studied the whoole night through.
This morning, it started off on a bad note. My trusty phone alarm clock didn't go off at 6am as I would have hoped. Noope... my radio went off (but as usual, the music just infiltrated into my dreams, hence making it much more colorful and interesting) and I woke up at 6:50. Yeep... sorta kinda late. So I hopped out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, put my hair up, threw on my clothes and I was OFF!! Well.. not like at rocket speed due to the HORRIBLE traffic. Luckily I got to school right at 8am, but I still had to get a scantron for the test... BLEH! So I was late... curse it all to Hades! But I think I did pretty ok on my test... so yay?? *crosses fingers*
The rest of the day was better. :) Actually, it was BETTER than BETTER. The weather was perfect, no traffic on the way back, studied happily at school, went home and organized my closet all while downloading some jazzy Diana Krall and Harry Connick Jr. tune... it was niiiiice. Quite an opposite from how I was feeling yesterday... and I realize that I really don't want to join the circus because I'd have to start off as a beginner there right? They wouldn't put my up on the trapeeze or inside the lion cage just yet (I'd still be hesitant about the trapeeze since I am scared of heights)... so I'd probably have to work my way up from like an elephant pooper scooper or sad scary clown that makes kids cry. Nah... I'll stick to school and decorating weddings for now.
