i had a wonderful birthday weekend. i got to spend it with some of my favorite people AND i had a lot of firsts:

- Camping. it was really enjoyable. i lived a sheltered life (my mom forbid me from going outside a lot due to my allergic reaction to insect bites). i can’t wait to go again..hopefully, next time it won’t be so damn cold…and i won’t have to share a sleeping bag.

- Smores. oh-em-gee!!! i’ve had smores flavored everything but nothing can beat the real deal. i used to be so envious of those blasted boy scouts because they got to roast marshmallows around the campfire and eat smores! we actually came up with a million dollar idea for smores..which i will not disclose. mu ha ha.

- Fishing. i didn’t really fish but i got to watch it firsthand. it’s just as it looks (boring)….i suppose it can be relaxing..and perhaps it would have been better if it were 10 degrees warmer..and we were on a boat instead of on rocks with dead fish laying around. gross.

- Sleeping in a tent. i used to LOVE sleeping in tents. i was never able to do it outside..but whenever i went to a friend’s house..we would always set up kiddie tents inside the house. and we always built forts. hmm…kind of want to build one now

and while spending prolonged periods of time in the great outdoors..i managed to not get a single insect bite. AMAZING. seriously. and it gave me a reason to not shower. mu ha ha. im gross. _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Camping

look at the stars, look how they shine for you..

big feesh

little feesh. awww.

guess which one is our tent

aww. he’s so cute.

you can’t go boating without shot gunning a beer

real men shot gun beers. apparently, it makes their penises larger.

drinking my ‘juice’

cut your hair whoojong

say ahhhh

damnit thomas, you like it!

marshmallows!

our campfire

due to the rain, we had to sleep in the car. frosted windows = penis!

♥ him

thomas took me to Madness Comics & Games and I got some new additions to my collection

david horvath’s two faced dunny

i got more series 2 labbits..and i got doubles! damnit..

i came home to find this on my door. my mom is so cute.

there was more candy but i ate it. thanks connie! you can fill in the cavities that you gave me next year.

she also gave me balloons. you can’t see it but the left one is a dora the explorer balloon =D

during my trip, i also came to the conclusion that:

- the rock band guitar sucks balls.

- park rangers are no fun. apparently fun is not allowed on camping trips according to their rules and regulations

- flying to dallas > driving to dallas by far! i saved myself a total of 6 hours and 40 minutes!

- johnny carino’s happy hour is AWESOME. bellini’s and italian nachos. mmm…so delicious

this is how we talk to each other:

we’re mature.

- i believe the menstrual monster, m.m., has gone into hibernation. i’ve never experienced pms before (or so i thought), so this was all kind of a sudden storm to me. i’m sure it wasn’t a pleasant experience for a lot of people, myself included, but for one particular person..who shall remain unnamed….sorrry!! haha. i really hope m.m. doesn’t come back to play next month..because m.m. is a total party foul.

- my gm informed me today that she was going to max me out as soon as my classes end. great. this summer is going to be a blast…and i say that with complete sarcasm.

- i hate guys who hit on girls, knowing that they have boyfriends! and girls. you assclowns! find your own girlfriend/boyfriend that aren’t TAKEN. please do not think that your constant advances and innate ability to be a complete whore is appealing…i will gladly go into bitch mode just to downsize your ego. GLADLY.

- currently reading Spooked by Mary Roach. it’s an inquiry on the human soul after death…exploring both theological and scientific aspects. really interesting.

- i know there’s a salmon shortage and all..but mmm….salmon sashimi sounds oh so good.

- i’ve been backtracking events in my life that have led me to become so flipping jaded. i know i’m a mess. i’ve accepted it..but i’m trying to fix it and not rely on someone else to. so far, i’ve counted at least 5 events.

looking back at this entry…i think the m.m. is still lurking around. haha. damnit.

sigh…

i am so STRESSED right now. all of these deadlines, papers, exams, studying, work, piano, etc., etc., etc., is absolutely killing me right now.

and i don’t know if it’s because i’m pms’ing (i NEVER pms..or at least i don’t think i do)…but i’m on this emotional roller coaster hay ride (does that make sense?) and i cannot…..CANNOT stop thinking about a lot of things, which is affecting my concentration…which affects my emotions….which in turn affects my concentration. I NEED MY CONCENTRATION!! otherwise, i cannot get anything done.

i think my inner crazy is coming out. i need a drink. and a massage.

and some ice cream.

The Verve Pipe – The Freshman

another good weekend in austin. highlights included:

1. HIN. my first car show ever. possibly my last. i must admit..i whined about it a bit pre-show but it got better. i’m not really into cars but it was actually pretty interesting seeing the plethora of modified cars…mixed with a bunch of ghetto people and a strange…yet familiar stench of swisher sweet cigars (or perhaps something else). the best part was NOT lil keke and lloyd…nor the half naked car models BUT the car dyno! that was really fun to me…i dig it. i have a greater appreciation for bmw’s (which by the way thomas has one of the best looking ones in his car KrEw in my opinion) annnndddd i can make a mean car noise. just ask me, i’ll do it.

2. eastside cafe! my goodness…words cannot describe the glorious ways in which eastside has found its way into my heart. thomas introduced me and it has become one of my FAVORITE places to go to…and i vow to pay a vist everytime i go to austin, or at least try to. it was a house that became a restaurant (hardly any renovations to detract it away from looking like a genuine house, not a restaurant)..and they have this cute garden, garden shop (lots of knickknacks ), and they grow their own vegetables!!! lots of cats surrounding the premises haha. thomas and i were seated in what i assume was a sitting room? we had the smoked salmon ravioli and crabmeat-stuffed shrimp. sides were corn stuffing and butternut sqaush with a sesame sauce (and it was served in halves!!). and the salad…*drool* had this raspberry dressing that was to die for!! we didn’t take any pictures…noooooooooo

3. cafe magnolia. another restaurant introduced to me by thomas. this quaint little place that apparently specializes in breakfast foods. we had this marvelous queso. best i’ve had. and some turkey cristo sandwich..which was only okay. i appreciated the setting. if i lived near there i’d probably come there with a book in hand for breakfast.

4. taco deli. !!!!!. so good!!! we had the cowboy, happy, ahi tuna, and snapper tacos. you get your choice of either corn, flour, or wheat tortillas…and theyve got this wasabi sauce thats really good!!

5. pterry’s. awesome burgers! i attempted to order onion rings with my combo, which wasn’t on the menu…i could have sworn i heard brad say onion rings..but he actually said grilled onions. i lose. the seating area was outdoors surrounded by bushes with flowers in bloom. flowers in bloom = bees. trash = bees. i’m allergic to bees!! and i’ve been lucky enough to not have gotten stung by one (knock on wood)…for some reason, the bees were just lurking around us..following us from table to table and giving us a hard time. they didn’t seem to bother anyone else. i hate bees! and wasps!

i realize that this entire post was about food and without pictures!! but man…austin is great. i want to try and move there upon graduation. boyfriend did a great job showing me around on friday and educating me on cars and such. the weather was great except that it got a bit chilly at night. otherwise, yay!

i need to remind myself that:

- relationships are not easy..and much work is required

-i need to love myself and not hesitate when someone else is trying to break down the wall that i have so carefully built along the years

-boys will be boys..expect nothing more

-it’s time to be happy

-it’s okay to be insecure every once in awhile…but not all the damn time

-i am a hard worker with much ambition. i expect to succeed regardless of how scared i am about the future.

-i have people that care about me a lot. must not forget that.

-my mom loves me and she probably does not mean what she says.

-it is possible to be happy. i just need to let go of a lot of things.

my labbit set is complete!!

and new additions!

bad photo quality i know…but….i’m too lazy to retake the pictures.

still ♥ these songs

colbie caillat – realize

i need a scary movie buddy. no one EVER wants to watch horror flicks with me.

came across a quote..therefore, i shall document it:

“What is love? As far as I can tell, it is passion, admiration, and respect. If you have two, you have enough. If you have all three, you don’t have to die to go to heaven” -William Wharton
