i love jen. we're the last singletons left. seriously.

i had (and am still having, actually) a good singleton rant with her. if i was bridget jones, she would be my shazzer. we're very good ranters. we commiserate well together.

i just. don't. get it. you know?

blah....

i don't know what to blog about. i just feel like i should.

i've just spent the past two days shopping. i'm so tired. i love shopping, i really do. it's just... it takes so much out of a girl. especially when it's not for yourself.

well... yesterday, i spent quite a substantial amount on myself. more than i spent on other people combined. c'mon! all those t-shirts were so cute! and they were on sale! and that belt.... SO cute. and i really needed that bra. but i made pretty good headway in my christmas gift list. i'm a little over halfway done. well... actually, i've got like two more scarves to knit. i think i'm a little over my head in all this knitting. but it's okay.

no, actually, i think the knitting drives me insane. too much rumination. i start thinking about all of these things while i knit and these thoughts just sit in my mind and fester. fester fester fester... there needs to be something happy going on around me while i knit to distract me from these crazy thoughts. i know none of this is making any sense, but that's pretty much what's been going on in my head lately. i'm losing it.

anyway, what was i saying? oh yeah, shopping. yesterday, i hit up target and stoneridge with deb and chi. today, i went to target (again), costco, hancock fabrics, and newpark with deb and jo. didn't spend quite as much time today shopping as i did yesterday, but still. it was pretty long and tiring. yesterday, i bought four t-shirts at aeropostale, three of them having to do with music and rock and roll. seriously, that's one of my fantasy jobs - to be a rock star. i mean, who wouldn't want to be? i would be a serious angry girl rocker. i could totally see it. spewing off vitriolic, man-hating lyrics at the top of my lungs. yeeeessss....

okay, back to knitting. i'm so tense.

i finished a scarf! i finished a scarf! and it may have been on fire just a little bit...

time to start scarf #5... ;D

aww... nevermind. my father just took my car out to wash it. that's so nice of him. it was so dirty.

but they found the scratch on the rear bumper. i told them someone else backed up into me. i'm such a bad person. oh well.

and ooh, my mother made eggrolls for me! my faaaaavorite. sigh. so good.

wow, if i didn't know any better, i'd say i was being spoiled.

woohoo, i'm home.

drove AAALL day yesterday. left san diego around 11 am after packing, cleaning, getting gas, and getting breakfast. headed to la to pick up the chi. got lost on the way to la. well, not really "lost", per se, more like redirected. i missed the 405 split and had to make a biiig u-turn to get back onto it. once i picked up chi, driving was much better. didn't have the urge to fall asleep. the drive was okay. i think we stopped like three or four times. got lost again in gilroy. i blame the dark and the total lack of street lights and clear signs. we were on the 152 and in order to stay on the 152, we were supposed to turn left but instead we kept going straight because we couldn't tell, it was so damn dark. and because we were out in boonieville, we had to drive down this road for a long while before we could find a side road to turn around in. and did i mention that it was dark? and the last time we stopped, i almost drove into a dirt pile. it was pretty funny. anyway, finally made it home around 8 pm. so a nine hour drive. not too bad.

so i may have had a little trouble opening my front door again. i tried, i really did. i just couldn't do it. the front door hates me. so i called deb for help and jo came along to help me open my door and get into my house. my party planner is also my door opener. after she helped me get the door open (and made me open it by myself while she stayed in the house), she helped me unload my car and went back to deb's house. i lugged everything up to my rooms by myself. there was this one point where i had a duffel bag on my right shoulder and was pulling this huuuge duffel bag with my left arm up the stairs and if i hadn't have had that other duffel bag on my right shoulder to balance the weight out, the other duffel bag would've pulled me down the stairs.

anyway, after that nice bit of exercise, i went over to deb's house to watch the second lord of the rings, the extended version. but first we (me, jo, deb, chi, david, mike) hung out in the living room just playing the piano, guitar, and flute (oddly enough) and singing christmas carols and disney songs. i knit a little. but i was so dissatisfied with my knitting that i kept starting over. finally, i gave up. then we settled into the family room to watch FOUR HOURS of the two towers (ahahaha, i have rhyming powers). i fell asleep. couldn't help it. i drove all day, over half of california. it was nice. finally went home around 2 am.

i woke up today around 1030 am. i really should've gotten up then, but i didn't. i just went back to sleep and woke up again around 1 pm. hey, i think i deserve it after finals and all that driving.

oh yeah, finals sucked. so we shall not speak of that.

hey...i just heard my car start. but that's impossible, i have the car keys! MY PARENTS ARE STEALING MY CAR. BYE.
