Today was kinda' cool. First, Cory called me this AM. That was cool. He said he still plans on coming out to SD, whether I believe him or not. I'm not sure.. I just might believe him. Then, I went to school. Got a 35 outta' 40 on my math test and watched a cool video in my AOJ class. Then I went to the doctor with my mom and made a "feminine checkup" appt for June. Another pre-bootcamp task accomplished. Now, unbelieveably enough, I am talking to JH. To make a long story short, we're gonna' meet in June. For real. I'm gonna' rent a car and drive east 'til I get to Odessa, TX.. and he's gonna' be there. We're gonna' drive somewhere in TX or Oklahoma.. somewhere in the middle of no where.. and we're gonna' spend 3 days hiking, and swimming, and sleeping under the stars. To say "I can't wait" would be the biggest understatement of the century.
O another note, I had an interview at Applebees today. Not too bad - I filled out the application yesterday and had an interview today. The guy said he would have given me the job today if I wasn't going to school. He said to call him when the semester is over, and if he's still hiring, he'll give me the job. That'd be cool. I definitely downloaded half of the new Timmy album on Napster. I knew it'd be awesome. I wonder why Tim and Faith recorded "Angry All The Time." That's kind of a bitter marraige song. Oh well. Tomorrow I have another math test. I'm thinking that I'm probably definitely gonna' fail. JH is leaving so I'm gonna' go nyte nyte. I just realized that I'm gonna' have to move this entry to my May layout.. but I don't feel like making that layout right now, and I don't feel like not posting this entry, so live with it. :)
I'm getting hella' sick of school. Of course, I should be there right now, but obviously I'm not. 2 more weeks, and then finals. As long as I have 15 credits by January (my requirement to enlist) I'm okay. The last couple days have come and gone without any real excitement. Last Monday I went to Scott's.. (who I STILL haven't heard from. Boys are odd.) then Thursday, David called me and asked me if I wanted to go to the Padre's game. YAY! I LOVE baseball. It's one of my top 3 passions. It doesn't matter that we here in San Diego have the WORST baseball team ever. I just love being there. So, I cut my AOJ class short and went to the game. It was fun.. and the Pads actually won. 11-nothing, even. I must be good luck. It was an afternoon game, so I got a massive farmers tan. I know - I'm cool. Thursday's Survivor wasn't bad. Elisabeth got the boot. That one was a long time coming. This week is the LAST survivor. Colby, Keith, and Tina are left. It's literally anyones game.. but I think it'll be Tina's. So, Friday Steph, Stewart, and I went to this bar called Canes for the official Prince concert after-party. Canes is a cool bar. It's right on Mission Beach. The "party" was okay. The DJ was lame. He made me appreciate my Felix that much more. The people on the phone said there was gonna' be a huge line for tickets, so we got there at like, 1900. The tickets didn't go on sale 'til 2200, and the line was SO not long. Oh well. So, we had a few drinks, danced to some lame DJing, and at like - 0130, Prince came out on stage. He stayed for about 1.3 minutes, waved his hand at everyone, and left. The ONLY exciting part was that we were right up against the stage, so we got to shake his hand, and touch his leg. Yay, I'll be able to tell my Grandkids that I touched Prince. Felixurday was typical. I worked all day, came home and changed, picked up Steph, went to the club. Fun, of course. I met a guy who does what I want to do in the Marine Corps (Air Crew.) He's a crew chief on CH-53s. (Big helicoptors!) That is SUCH a rad job. You get to fly everyday. So, I talked to him for a while, and it turns out that it's a really hard MOS to get into. Go figure. You have to go thru SERE school.. which is borderline Navy SEAL training. Yay. I can hardly wait for that. So, here we are back at Monday. The start of another week. I think I'll go fill out job apps today. I am so NOT gonna' work at Rob May until I leave in January. That's just not in the cards. So, that does it for another weeks worth of entries. Stay tuned for another fascinating week in the life of me. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
I just figured out that I can't think of the lyrics to a song while I'm listening to a different song. I learn something new everyday. So, I'm finally posting after like, 11 days or something. I lead such a fascinating life that a whole lotta' nothing has happened in those days, even. Survivor pissed me off. They kicked Rodger off. :( I don't feel like posting his pic tho. I really haven't done much since I got back from Frisco. Sad, huh? School is over in less than a month! I'm psyched. I really hope I pass my math class.. and it's really not looking too good. Down with algebra. This past Saturday was Felix's bday. I bought him almost 8000 balloons and a HUGE card that Steph and I both signed. He loves us. :) Last nie I met this cool guy, Scott. He's a Marine Drill Instructor at MCRD. We had fun. We watched Coyote Ugly (yay!), Ladies Man, and half of Meet The Parents. Then we got into WWF on the floor. He totally beat me up.. but I made a valiant effort. hehe.. I'm a tough girl. I really hope Scott and I hang out again. He's a cutie. I'm all about not having even an OUNCE of faith in boys these days.. so we'll see if he calls. :) So, now I am off to bed. I'm in for a fun math-filled morning. Yippee.
Happy Easter. Since everybody knows I'm not religious, we'll leave it at that so I can move on to San Fran details! I'm not sure where to start. Imagine the perfect vacation with the coolest people EVER, and there you are - smack dab in the middle of my San Fran getaway. It was awesome. AWESOME. Amtrak RULES. The train ride up there was rad. We were in first class, which in the world of Amtrak means that we got a sleeper car - a private room with 2 beds - free lunch, dinner, and WINE.. and full access to the Parlour car. The parlour car rocks. The parlour car attendent rocks even more. My flirtatious nature took over somewhere around Santa Barbara, and from that point on we had the biggest hook ups on that train. Cory's rad. Hopefully, we're gonna' keep in touch. I think San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. It has been christened the S&M city. (it stands for Stephanie and Michelle, you perverts.) We did SO much in 4 days. Alcatraz, a city bus tour, Japan and China town, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, CABLE CARS!, Ghirardelli Square.. we even took a 13 mile bike tour thru Golden Gate Park. Life doesn't get much better. We met so many people that we're gonna' keep in touch with. Roland and Cory at Amtrak, Derek and Ron - the cable car drivers, Everett - the hotel desk-guy. Steph and I have the gift of being able to meet people anywhere. Stephanie is my favorite person in this world. Wednesday nite, Everett took us to a bondage club. It was extremely interesting. Some HOT boy electrocuted me and Steph with this tazer-knife lookin' thing. Now that you ALL think I'm the strangest person ever, I have to admit we had fun. We met the Frisco chapter of the Hell's Angels, and we got to ride on their Harleys to their clubhouse. Where else but in Frisco can you have THAT much fun? So, Thursday we took this bike tour. I think we were on crack when we decided to do it. By the end of the 13 miles we rode, we never wanted to see a bike again. It was fun, nonetheless. We saw ROBIN WILLIAMS, even! lol.. We had our bikes parked on top of the Golden Gate Bridge, and we were sitting down looking at a map trying to figure out where we had to go next. This guy coming off of the bridge on his bike was all.. "You shouldn't leave those bikes there, someone is gonna' hit them." IMMEDIATELY, Steph and I were like.. "Oh my GOD, HI!" to which said guy replied, "Hi, how are you," and took off. The guy, ladies and gents, was Robin Williams. It was incredible. The food we ate in Frisco was all about the BEST. Seafood, sushi, GHIRARDELLI chocolate, etc... we probably gained about 20 pounds and then worked it all off by riding the bikes. The train ride back was pretty uneventfull. We slept for 3/4 of it. By the time we pulled into San Diego, we were so ready to be home. Now, I want to go back to Frisco. hehe.. So, in a nutshell.. that was my trip. I took 5 rolls of pics, and Steph took 4. B/w us both, we have about 250 pics from Frisco. It's all about the memories. I've already talked to Cory since I've been home, and he plans to come out to Diego and hang with me on my turf. I'm excited about that. I set my VCR to tape Survivor but the Godforsaken thing didn't cooperate. I'm highly upset about this, but I'll probably get over it. Last nite, we went dancing for the first time in 2 WEEKS. Deprived, we've been. My DJ put the Felix in Felixurday nite! We had SO much fun. I don't think he left out one of our songs. It was OUR nite. So, that's my story. School returns tomorrow. Yay. >eyeroll< I go back to work on Tuesday. The inevitable return to real life.
Pretty good Survivor episode. I won't miss Nick too much. I just hope that Ogakor doesn't vote off the other 2 members of Kucha.. 'cuz that means Rodger is gonna' go. :( I'll be sad. Anyway, I have SO much shit to do today. Get my paycheck, cash it, go to the post office, go to Wal-Mart (yay!), do my laundry, and pack.. all before 1600 when I have to go to work until 2430. Funny, I have all that on my agenda, and I'm sitting here posting on my website.. lol. I just wanted to post one more time before I leave for S.F. The funniest Taco Bell commercial EVER was just on TV. "Uno, Dos, Zesty!" That makes me laugh really hard. But, I digress. I put my Randy Travis CD (the one with "The Hole" on it) in my CD player. I NEVER listen to that CD, and I realize now that it is RAD. "Satasfied Mind" is the neatest song. I can't find the lyrics online for the life of me, but I'll type them in when I have more time. For now, I gotta' get goin'. Not enough time in a day.Oh, Happy Bday, Jason!
I need a new job. I'm not sure if it's really worth it for me to search for a new job, and go thru training when I'm leaving in a few months.. but I can't live off the NINE hours a week that my job is giving me. I need to get a waitress job again. I miss Hard Rock. Do I complain enough? Christ. Anyway, today was blah. Math class. Gross. I SO bombed my last test. I got a THIRTEEN outta' 30. Definitely equal to a 43%. Well on my way to an engineering scholarship, huh? I have a 70.9% in the class so far. It's a credit/no credit type thing.. so you have to have a 70% to get a credit for the class. More than HALF of my class isn't passing. That makes me not feel so bad. We get to drop our lowest test score, so throwing out my alltime high score of 13, I have a 77% in the class. I'll live with that. As long as I don't have to take this crappy class over again. So, after math, I went to work. Such fun, my nite was. I started posting on the Military.com message boards. It's kinda' cool. I get to talk about my favorite thing in the whole world.. and then I get to read what other people who share my opinions think. I like message boards. JH posts there all the time too. It's cool to read his thoughts.. since I don't get to yack at him much these days. He's supposed to call me one of these days (actually, he was supposed to call me today.) We'll see what goes down. So tomorrow, I have math and work and then the Eclub. Friday, I have Spanish and work.. (it's also payday. yay.) Then Saturday, I work all day.. and at nite I'm going to Steph's. Then Sunday at 0530, we LEAVE! Exciting. Anyway, time to hit the rack.
Happy April, everybody. I got lucky this year. No April fools jokes. Altho I did have to see somebody elses joke... in the form of a dead, headless rattlesnake on the back of a pickup truck. Don't you all wish you were me? I changed the CDs in my CD changer the other day. I was in the mood to be a redneck, so I filled it with country. Listening to my 40 or 50 CDs on random play, I realized something. My brain is a virtual encyclopedia of song lyrics. Like, songs that I haven't even heard for months, I can sing word for word. I might not remember the name of the song or the artist, but I can sure sing it. I wonder just HOW much of my brain is occupied by lyrics? If I learn a few more, are other bits of knowledge just gonna' start falling out? Maybe I'll forget the capital of Maine, or the square root of 9. Maybe song lyrics are dangerous. Damn, I have too much time on my hands. I actually talked to JH for about 5.3 minutes tonite. He's supposed to call me tomorrow o Wednesday to talk about making definite Marine Corps plans. This TV movie, Semper Fi was on NBC last nite. Awesome movie, awesome. It made me realize that I don't WANT to wait 'til January to enlist (my original plans.) I want to do it ASAP. I want to have that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor in my hand before the New Year. So, JH and I are gonna' talk. Like, REALLY talk. I'm really excited. I'll post how it goes. 5 days 'til San Fran! How exciting is THAT? All in all, life is good right now. School is more than 1/2 way over, definite Marine Corps plans are about to be made, our San Fran trip is almost here. This weekend was a big lotta' fun. When do I NOT have fun on the weekend? Went out Thursday and Felixurday nite. Same old, same old.. but fun nonetheless. Next Felixurday will be plain old Saturday b/c Felix and crew are DJing at a wedding, but we have to be at the train station at zero-dark-thirty on Sunday, so it's all good. I'm gonna' go read some posts on Military.com, and then go to bed. Time changes are so weird.
