i had a good day today. harry potter and the chamber of secrets - good. fuddruckers - good. the bestest, coolest, FUNNIEST girlfriends in the whole world - gooooood. ;D

i'm tired now. my friends exhaust me. but in a good, satisfied way. :)

these girls... *shakes head*....

lavendurry: if i'm not there by noon
lavendurry: give me a call and make sure im awake :D

Burgundy24: if i'm not there by 12 call me to wake me up :-D

we're going to leave BOTH of you!! i'm not kidding!! [well, yeah, okay, i am.]

hurrah!! my mother said we're not going anywhere today!! and, obviously, no one is coming here because my mother didn't cook like truckloads of food. so that means...no relatives!!! wheeeeee!! oh, i know, it sounds sort of sad to not spend thanksgiving with like five million relatives, but i think it's rather good news. no awkward moments, i get to stay home, i don't have to shower or change clothes - what more could a girl want?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! ;D

i just woke up. happy thanksgiving!

we'll see how happy mine is after i suffer through several hours with my relatives. yay.

HURRAH!! MY LUGGAGE IS HERE!!

fell asleep on couch watching jay leno downstairs while waiting for my precious luggage. actually fell off when woken up by doorbell. hmm.

going to change into my warm comfy non-restrictive pajamas now!! happy happy joy joy!!

uuuugh. it's 1052 and i still don't have my luggage. i am tired and sleepy and i just want to wash my face and change into my pajamas and crash. damn the thanksgiving holiday for being so busy!!

oh well. comforting myself by playing avril lavigne's "i'm with you" over and over again. she's right - it IS a damn cold night. forgot how my parents are cheap and don't like to turn on the heater. wanna hear something funny though? my parents have already decked out the house in christmas decorations. was a bit weird seeing as how it's not even december, yet at the same time sorta cool to come home to our twelve foot tree.

it's 1056. where is my luggage?

my goodness! where are my manners?? thank you so so SOOOOO much to debra for picking me up from the airport. she is truly the bestest friend ever. well...and so is sanaz. hehe. she took me to campus today so i could meet up with amanda and she purposely parked near marshall so i wouldn't have to walk far and then she helped me lug my crazy heavy bag up the small hill to amanda's apartment even though we both looked really stupid. so, yeah, sanaz is truly the bestest friend ever. too. ;D

okay, so good news: they found my luggage. bad news: the delivery service won't pick it up till 7 pm and then they're supposed to deliver it one to five hours after that. one to FIVE hours?!? what the freaking crap is that? oh well. i should just thank my lucky stars that they found my bag and i won't be rotting in the same clothes for four days in a row. no, actually, including today, it would be five. yuck.

hello everyone, i am home. HOME home. NORCAL home. FREMONT home. HOME home. and boy was it one crazy adventure trying to get here.

okay, so first off, i set the metal detector off at the san diego airport. so they take me aside, sit me down, and tell me to take off my boots. before that, i had already taken off my coat and scarf. so, whatever, i take off my boots and they make me stick each of my legs up to pass that metal detector wand over them. then i stand up and the lady goes over my whole body. that last sentence almost sounds dirty, but it's not. and of course, EVERYTHING on my body just happened to set off the wand. my watch, the brass buttons, the barrettes on my head, and my bra. yes, my bra. my bra set off the metal detector. no, i am not wearing some weird metal bra - it was the underwire that set it off. i was just like, please do not make me take off my bra. and the lady actually patted me on my boobs too!! well, slightly below them. but still! my god!! well, okay, i wasn't that offended, it was just to be safe, i know. i actually found the whole thing slightly amusing.

what i did NOT find amusing was losing my luggage. anyone remember the thanksgiving luggage fiasco last year? where i accidentally sent my luggage ahead of me by two hours? well now, my luggage is coming AFTER me. what IS IT with me and luggage during the thanksgiving season? i just don't get it. anyway, i got off the flight from la to san jose and waited and waited and waited at the baggage carousel for my bag and it just never came. so i went to baggage service where they told me that my bag was STILL IN LOS FREAKING ANGELES. apparently someone had somehow forgotten to put it on the plane to san jose which is weird because amanda got her luggage but it's not that weird because i wasn't the only one on the flight who had lost my luggage. anyway. so they told me that the next flight from la was coming in at 530 and that they would deliver my bag to my house. which, it's 614 right now and it is not here. but then again, there's a lot of traffic, so... yeah. just...WHY GOD?!? WHY?!?!! is it because i worship satan and make ritual animal sacrifices that you punish me so?!?

and on top of all that, i've got a zit on my forehead, right between my eyebrows. it totally wasn't there this morning. so somehow on my way to san jose from san diego, i developed this ugly monstrous thing. which is actually sort of funny because the same thing happened to amanda. gotta be something about the airplanes.

anyway, i'm going to call the airline now because i'm starting to get scary panicky visions of myself wearing this outfit four days in a row.

aaahh!! so excited! going home tomorrow! this time, i WILL be going on the same flight as my luggage! [instead of, you know, accidentally sending it ahead of me.] pretty much all packed. ;D only things left are toiletries, of course. so yeah, that's all. okay, bye.
