crap. i just woke up. okay, i actually "just" woke up several times, but i actually "just" got up at like 130. oh well. i was out late last night! meteor shower, of course. :) so me, melissa, ben, and sanaz left a little after 1130 to go to la jolla shores (the beach) to watch. but we like totally forgot towels and blankets and stuff like that. so when we got there, we tried to walk as far away as we could from the lights and just kind of stood there looking up. it got kind of annoying after a while because we didn't really see anything since it was pretty cloudy. there was like a small patch of sky that was clear, but i mean, we were just standing there. so after about half an hour, we decided to go get some blankets and firewood and lighter fluid and matches and set ben's car on fire. haha, just kidding. we decided to start a bonfire. so we left and went to sav-on where we got some fire wood and me and melissa got loaded up on candy. then we went back to the apartments to pick up some blankets and towels and more clothes cuz it was pretty chilly. oh, and did i mention how UNBELIEVABLE the fog has been lately? the fog usually rolls in after 9 pm and it is incredibly dense. there was literally no visibility. we could see like two feet in front of us. driving was a bit scary. it was strange though because the fog was just unbelievably dense in some parts of campus and off-campus but really clear in other parts. there was no fog at the beach thank goodness. just clouds. but when we drove back to the beach after picking up all our supplies, most of the clouds had left. so it was a lot clearer. yay! so we lay out our towels and blankets, started up the bonfire although it took a little while. i lit like six matches but every time i got near to throw the match into the pit, the match would blow out. so finally ben had to light it. and he got it on the first match. i'm just stupid, i guess. but this time it was a lot funner because we got to the beach around 130, just before peak time. so we lay down next to the bonfire and got under the blankets and enjoyed the shower.

i have to admit, it wasn't as great as the one in summer, but i think that's because there were too many clouds and lights. however, i still had a great time because of where we were at. i mean, we had a nice warm bonfire going, we could hear the waves crashing in, and we could even hear seals barking! it was kind of random, but i thought that was pretty cool. melissa was like, "hey, what are they doing up this late?" and i was like, "they're watching the meteor shower!" yeah yeah, we're dorks, whatever. it got really cold after a while. even though we were huddled underneath the blankets, our faces were like frozen. so after the peak was over, and after it started getting cloudy again, me and melissa got up and stood next to the bonfire to warm ourselves. i love bonfires!! it was so nice and toasty. one problem though: standing next to a bonfire makes you very VERY stinky. we left soon after, and when we got home, i took my hair out of the ponytail and got a huge whiff (wiff?) of my hair scent and it smelled GROSS. i was too tired and it was too late to take a shower though, so i just pulled my hair back and went to sleep. well, i talked to sanaz for about an hour, and then i went to bed.

i still haven't showered. or done my laundry. or done my chores. or done my homework. i'm just sitting here like a bum. well, i'm blogging too. mmm...i'm hungry. ooh!! dexter's laboratory all day today!!
