la la la...time to update blog.

so yesterday, i went shopping with melissa and grace after class. we were trying to get to fashion valley, but we were going down the wrong freeway or something, i don't know, but somehow we ended up in downtown san diego so we decided to go to horton plaza instead. that place is confusing. big, but confusing. it was only the second time i'd been shopping there. it's like three or four stories, but they also have like half-stories, so...it was kinda confusing. it was kinda silly though because me and melissa ended up buying things from there that we totally could've bought from utc. oh well. it was fun to be somewhere new. yeah, melissa pulled a helen yesterday cuz she kept missing the exit so she pulled like two u-ies. we were like, "okay, third time's the charm." and it was. :)

so we got back around 8 and i just changed into my pajamas and chilled. i dunno how we started talking about this, but i mentioned to ben and sanaz that i had never had an alcoholic drink before. and i was actually gonna ask my parents if i could try some of the red wine they had in the fridge during spring break, but i forgot. they probably would've let me since they've asked me several times if i've wanted to try some of their beer and stuff. but i always said no. so anyway, ben leaves to go back to his apartment and he came back with a structure bag and said, "i have a gift for you, cherry" and it's a bottle of smirnoff ice! so ben and sanaz go to get some dinner and leave me all alone with my first alcoholic beverage. it wasn't that bad, i kinda liked it actually. i didn't even taste any alcohol. it was only 5%. but it was kinda sad. drinking for the first time all by my lonesome. i didn't even get a buzz! i just ended up feeling really flushed and drowsy. if i had been wearing jeans, i would've been fully capable of undoing my pants to go pee. (heehee, ha. ;D hey, if you say "heeheeha" out loud, it sorta sounds like a donkey.)

so today me and sanaz went to costco and ralph's to do some food shopping. i love the pastries/bakery section of costco. everything smells so good. i almost got these cinnamon rolls that were like drenched in frosting. *drools* but i put them back in favor of blueberry muffins. then me and sanaz had a grand lunch of costco hot dogs and soda. those hot dogs ARE yummy. i can understand now why chris loves them so much. ;D and it totally reminded me of that story she told us when her and victor went to get some on the way to senior ball. she was wearing a white dress and he was wearing a tuxedo and some guy said, "congratulations!!" or something like that. ;D

anyway, after that, we went home and like totally reorganized the fridge and kitchen shelves in order to make room for the groceries. we ended up throwing a shitload of old food out. old food that's been in there for a fucking decade because no one throws their shit away. so now the trash is totally overflowing. it's disgusting. anyway, after that me and sanaz cleared out the storage room and separated all the plastic, glass, and aluminum and took them down to the recycling bins. that was just nasty. things were molded and growing and LIVING in that storage room. but me and sanaz sucked it up and cleaned like crazy because, like the old food in the fridge, that stuff in the storage room has also been neglected for god knows how long. we took all the cardboard boxes, broke them down, and recycled those too.

gee, seems like me and sanaz are doing all the cleaning around here. wonder why that is.

anyway, afterwards, we felt so unsanitary that we both took a shower. [not at the same time, you sicko.] then we got ready to go out to dinner at cpk. went with mel, allyn, ben, and matt. and sanaz, of course. it was really nice to go out and just hang out. i was feeling really hyper for some reason. hyper and happy. maybe the affect of the smirnoff was delayed. ;D it was really fun though. i was wild and daring tonight. i ordered something other than fettucine. *gasp* i dunno, lately, i've been feeling really carnivorous. i just want MEAT. meat meat meat. mmmmm....mmmmmeeeeeeaaaaaaat. so i ordered the philly cheesesteak pizza. pretty good. very cheesy. had to pick off the peppers though cuz i forgot to ask them to remove those.

oh! i almost forgot; story of the day: so me and sanaz really should stop walking together because the last two times we've walked together, one of us has almost been run over. anyway, this afternoon, we were walking to this apartment complex a little past ralph's because she parks her car there. we were crossing the exit to this parking lot by bj's and this large white pickup nearly runs over sanaz. like NEARLY runs her over. we stopped right before crossing because we didn't know if the pickup would go or not. since it didn't go, i crossed first and sanaz followed. right as i walked past the pickup, the guy presses on the accelerator and actually bumps his car into sanaz and like sort of pushes her. so, naturally, she screams. in retrospect, it was a very funny scream. like, it wasn't a normal scream. it was like a half-scream/half-yell. of course, at the time, it wasn't very funny. anyway, the driver looks out his side window and says, "are you okay?!?!" with a concerned/freaked out look on his face. really, i'm just glad he didn't say something like, "watch where you're going, bitch!" and i'm sure sanaz is right, he was probably more freaked out than she was. he just didn't see us. he was watching the cars on the road to see when he could go and i guess he just didn't pay attention to us (even though sanaz was wearing bright red pants). although, really, i would say it was like mostly, but not totally, his fault. i'm sure we could've been paying more attention, even though we still had every right to cross. anyway...even if it only happened twice, each progressive run-in has gotten worse. the next time we go out....well, let's just say we better watch out.

anyway. at least this incident made a good blog, right? ;D
