helloooooo...internet. ;D

so let's see. drove back to san diego yesterday. took a good eight hours. not bad. visited the vietnamese supermarket nearby and a pho place for dinner. you can tell this was all at my mother's insistence. then went back home to clean up and put up my pretty pink curtains. well, first my father had to take down my closet doors which proved to be very difficult. but the pink curtains look so pretty! my room is very very girly now. very. you just have to see it. then parents went to bed and i stayed up and talked with sanaz while her family invaded our house. persians EVERYWHERE. it was pretty funny actually.

then woke up this morning and had a huge argument with my mother. huge. not fun. especially considering that this is also her birthday. but she totally started it. anyway, it was bad. whatever. parents went home. changed clothes and started unpacking. then went grocery shopping with sanaz. came back and tried to get internet working again once melissa came back. definitely no easy task. just ran into tons of problems with the router. but whatever. clearly, we got the problem straightened out. i kicked it and threw it against the wall multiple times followed by a good bitch-slapping.

ooh, exchanged gifts today for the house secret santa. this is our third year doing this and it's just dawned on me that sanaz is jewish. hmm. anyway, my secret santa was helen which melissa helped me to realize by process of elimination which i just did not understand. helen made me a scarf!! a big, white, fluffy one!! and then she bought me these two really cute candles. more candles for me!! [just as an off-note, guess how many candles are in my bedroom. let's just say there's one for every year of my life. ;D] and she also gave me a gift card for barnes & noble! yaaay!!

okay, internet's down again. crap. oh! now it's back!! quick, must post must post!!
