Yaaaaay this weekend was intense.
I don't have many pictures, because I was too busy pwning some dudes at beer pong 3 nights in a row.
Then I got sick. WOO!

So the other day I finished the Watchmen, and it was fucking EPIC. The next day, I prepared to take a road trip to LA to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain with 6 dudes.
( Party on, Wayne. ) |

June is here, and it feels like January! At least, for California weather-- it's overcast outside. This weekend has been such a blur, you'll soon understand. I'm really hungry... I haven't eaten much in the last 48 hours. I think I want to make an egg in a hat :].
( And fight the break of dawn... ) |

Dear LJ-- a taste of my past week.
Two days ago, after much talk about the frustration of lack of funds, my mom reminded me that I have several savings bonds in my name. By several, she meant 26. I've been getting them since my first birthday, and usually since then on Christmases and birthdays, up until 2003. These nice little bonds earn money, so my mom encouraged me to find out how much they were worth now. All added up, it came to $1800. I almost choked. That's a lot of money, since I haven't made any in about 2 years. I told her I knew what I would do with it, I wanted my 50D. The Canon EOS 50D is like, a really nice camera for someone who isn't a paid professional photographer. I'd been eyeing it for the past year. But all this money, all these little investments year to year from my grandparents and great-grandparents, still has time to grow. As much as I knew the camera of my dreams (for the most part) would be a good decision, I couldn't help but feel guilty-- especially when my mom says, "I figured you might use it for something important, like your first down-payment on an apartment or something. But that's cool too." Even though that was her initial reaction, and her later reaction was much more optimistic, those words rang in my head for a couple hours, and still do.
I went ahead and gathered the bonds, cashed/deposited them, dashed to Best Buy and snagged the camera, as if I were at the head of a horde of people trying to get it before me.
I feel really great now that I have it. The only part I missed out on in the process was actually seeing that much money, in cash. I just had the bank teller put it in my checking account. I kinda wished I flaunted it long enough for it to have seemed real-- that I ever had that much money in my possession. Whatever...
And now, I have about $220 left. I feel like I should've left out some bonds, so they had more time to earn themselves some interest. Maybe my savings account will do, for the time being.
( Last night, I tried out my new child. )
Tonight is Keek da Sneak at the Broken Wheel with Vera... lol, we'll see how that goes. I need a good night-out. |

A dream.
I just had a dream that i was wandering an SF-pier-like area. I noticed a man following me. I tried to get away by a series of frightening hide-and-seek games, but he found me and shot me in the stomach. I fell in to a river next to the pier. I floundered and thought i was dead, but i was still swimming towards the surface, i could see other swimmers' kicking legs... After i had emerged from the water, i felt that all my senses were muffled. I walked to what I knew to be vera's house, even though the house was very square, neat, and everything was a shade of white, with afternoon-sun lighting the house. Vera was still in Las Vegas (hahaha), but Chona was there, and she could see me! I knew something was "off" because i was going down a set of stairs into a room, which Chona reminded me was normally UP a set of stairs. I felt like I was a ghost, creating a terrifying scene for an innocent bystander. Chona then told me to go home and visit my family. On my way there, I remember thinking to myself, "Wow, I couldnt even make it to my 21st birthday, I didnt even finish school or anything." My brother was the first person i saw, he said nothing to me. When i thought he saw me, he walked away. In the next room was my mother. She came towards me, and as i shouted at her she just looked in my direction... Her face became saddened and she cried, and said my name, asking for me. Then i woke up |

good morning!
i woke up to salina licking my face, and some loud-ass woman next door yelling "bad dog!" at her fervently barking pet. yesterday when i arrived here at sooty's home in lemon grove, i walked in and immediately there was a familiar smell. seeing as i haven't been able to smell since i was in elementary school, this was a very exciting moment! i had no idea what the smell actually was, but i knew i had missed it. if i had to take a stab at it, i'd say it was the scent of rosemary-- she uses it a lot.
also for whatever reason, i was exhausted yesterday. after sooty went to work, i napped for 3 hours, then went to bed at midnight and awoke at 9am.
amanda informed me that she is moving today, from la jolla to PB, and im super excited for her! i love pacific beach, it was my favorite place to roam when i lived here.
anyway, hope all is well. and i cant wait to get out of here (i dont have a car) and see my lovely san diego :] |

so, i received my Holga Strobe package on the 16th, last friday. If it weren't for the 5 rolls of 120mm film they sent me, i'd be SOL, becauuuuse-- they sent me a 135mm adapter, when I ordered a 35mm adapter. whatever, i'll be exchanging it soon.
