Bowling For Soup!!

2010-02-07T20:50:00.000-08:00

yesterday went like this:

-woke up/got ready
-helped boys pack car
-got coffee
-bought tequila/salt/limes/plastic dixie cups
-went to the hawthorne theater
-helped the boys unpack
-watched bowling for soup sound check
-gave them their gift from the boys (the tequila/salt/limes/cups; tequila is their favorite)
-hung out with the boys and my friend nikki
-waited a bit for the show to start
-went out side and waited in line to give em my ticket, and gave some friends some tickets
-watched the boys rock out! (they did awesomee!!)
-then some guy jumped off the stage with no warning (usually when people jump they give some warning) and he landed right on my head, i punched him in the arm and gave him a dead arm because i was really mad, and it hurt SUPER bad.
-felt better and watched bowling for soup rock out

then after the show is the best parts:

i found the boys signing as many things and taking as many pictures with people as bowling for soup
we stuck around and talked with bowling for soup
cj was commenting on how weird it was that the singer of bowling for soup took a picture of cj and a fan, and he just kept thinking 'wait, this should be the other way around, i should be taking a picture of her with him!'

and then...
they invited us on their tour bus, and we just hung with them until they left!
found out that the boys got paid more than they were originally going to be, and they also got rated very highly on some scale on their forms, and were commented on being 'very talented" on the forms and they are most likely going to be invited back for more shows at the hawthorne for more big shows in the future.
they also got some of the guys from bowling for soup's phone numbers.

The photo is of a friend and me on the tour bus with the singer and drummer from bowling for soup.

all in all, it was an amazing night and the guys from bowling for soup are super nice, and cj did great, and made some awesome connections :)

Blink 182 concert

2009-09-10T15:57:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLMjrtlXeGE

so, i really wanted to go to the Blink 182 concert, i must say i am a fan, and they are one of cj's favorite bands. the tickets were pretty expensive though. They were doing contests for free tickets on the radio station that i listen to, so i facebooked them, and asked if they were doing anymore contests. they said no, but they had extra tickets and that if i picked them up i could have them for free!
so we picked them up, and met our friends at the rose garden to wait in line. we waited for about 4 hours, but we had a good time just hanging out. when we got inside we found our seats, which were pretty good seats actually. (especially for free)
There were 2 bands before Blink, one called Chester French, they were weird but ok. and then Taking Back Sunday. They did pretty good, i havent really listened to them much before the concert, but there was this really fat girl 2 seats away from me, and she was like singing all the words and dancing and screaming the WHOLE time they were playing. it was kinda annoying (and gross)
When Blink came out though, they put on an amazing show. They loved portland, and said even though it was the smallest show of their tour so far, it was their favorite place. They had a HUGE light show thing behind them, it had 6 massive circle plasma screen things, and a ton of lights.
at the end the drummer Travis Barker (ranked one of the best skilled drummers in the world) did a drum solo, while levatating over the stage and crowd. I posted the URL to a video from the concert on youtube, i couldnt figure out how to upload it, but definitely watch it, its so cool!! :) i didnt take it, but it was better quality than all my videos. enjoy.

new dog!

2009-06-17T16:50:00.001-07:00

His name is Lucas. I went with CJ's family to the local animal shelter, and we adopted him a few days ago. :) he was taken in a while back as a stray. They think he is a husky mixed with either Australian Shepard or German Shepard. he has a very husky like coat, and a Shepard body type.
He is 9 months old, so he is pretty big, but he still acts like a puppy. He loves to play with tennis balls and frisbees, and he can jump realllllly freaking high.
i like him :)

You've come a long way.

I hope things work out for you.

Troop 371

2009-04-26T22:19:00.000-07:00

In the past few weeks, i have been to a gold award ceremony that made me relive my own troop memories,
talked to my fellow troop-mates,
and witnessed a few people around me who have needed some help, and some good advice.

i still live by this, do you?

I will do my best:

to be honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong,

responsible for what i say and do,

and to:

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place,

and be a sister to every girl scout.

busy busy busy

2009-04-25T15:38:00.000-07:00

yep. thats life.
im taking what seems to be a billion credits.
my classes are interesting, but theres alot of them.
-my last term of constructed self/mentored self
-punishment and corrections
-policing in america
-intro to poetry writing

we finished cj's room. :D
he got his taxes back today so were going to go out, but we havent decided where yet.

other than that, brandon comes back monday and were going to have to do something fun this week. im going to try to make it back to the burg next weekend for the talent show and kates birthday, but no promises.
i dont want to ride with my family or someone else because id have to go back on their schedule, and i wouldnt be able to get back until late sunday night, and i have class monday bright and early.
im trying to see if erin or brandon or cj can bring me, but i dont know how thats looking yet. if i cant make it, ill have to make sure to take a trip down there soon!

Brandon + Hair =

2009-03-12T22:00:00.000-07:00

bad news...

JUST KIDDING! haha.
2 days ago i let brandon cut and dye my hair. he asked me what i wanted done, and i said i didnt care, and to do whatever he wanted to with it. I had to get the ends cut off due to split ends and a paint mishap, but it all ended up pretty good.
we cut my hair a little longer than shoulder length, cut my bangs, and added a layer. the bottom layer is bright red, and we highlighted the rest of my hair with the left over dye.

so now, i have shorter, cuter hair with lots of bright red.

unfortunately i have no camera due to the fire way back when, and so i have no pictures, but i might have some tomorrow :)

Not so ugh.

2009-02-15T14:12:00.000-08:00

Well yesterday did not go according to plan by any means. Finally after finishing what we needed to in his room we decided to shower and go to olive garden.
well right before i was going to get in the shower Nae called me. We had a long and interesting conversation, and hopefully it all works out.... :D
oh, nae,
heres the link...haha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c6HsiixFS8
if you look up her actual screen name on youtube its dbootsthediva or something like that. i love this lady. its funny.
as for the rest,
http://www.youtube.com/failblog

And Nae, let me know the plans!

Anyways...I spent a good while on the phone, after i got off I went in the living room, cj thought i had actually taken my shower in that time. lol. But i went and got in the shower, and then we called into olive garden so they would put our name on the waiting list.
well when we got there, there was a line of people who hadnt called...
and we went to the guy and told him we called in, and since technically we called and they had us already on the list we should already be waiting....but he basically told us no, we had to wait, even though we called in, but the line was out the door and around the corner basically. So we ended up just going back to the car, and we went home. On the way home i started crying because nothing had gone right at all the whole day.
Of course cj being the guy he is, he made me feel better and laugh right away, and we went home, picked up 6 cans, and went to red robin. I bought the drinks and onion rings, and he bought the food. I ended up spending more than i hoped to, but eh. no biggie. it wasnt that much. I got a new drink, it was bottomless and all :) it was a pomegranite peach limeaide, CJ got 2 mai tais, so i got to drive to ductch bros after that :)

When we got to dutch bros he made me pick what he got, so i got an almond joy for myself and cj got a double chocolate mocha. it was yummy. :)
when we got home we drank our dutch bros and watched Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist. When we were done with that Brandon texted us.
He was down becuase as he said "singles awareness day was getting to him" so he came over and we played mario party 8 on the wii, and then we went to sharis at like 1am.

we got home and i went to bed at 3, cj got more coffee at sharis and so he couldnt sleep, he ended up staying up till 5. we woke up today at 1:30.

so after everything sucked, I talked to Nae, I had a fun night with cj at red robin and watching the movie, and when brandon hung with us too.

UGH.

2009-02-14T14:16:00.000-08:00

Today has not been good so far. granted that its only 3 now, but still.
Today is valentines day, one of the funnest days of the year if you have someone to spend it with.
well, not always. Today was spent tearing up carpet, cleaning out the room, and not much else. its ready to paint and get new carpet now though, so i guess that's good news. but i mean UGH.
CJ is up cleaning the horse stalls now because Casey isn't here and they need cleaned real bad.
SO, also, since we have been so freaking busy with his room and school and everything, we haven't had the time to get each other anything, plus we don't have that much money in the first place to spend anyways. On top of that I'm PMSing so it just makes everything feel 10 times worse.
I'm hoping that we can spend the night together watching movies or something along those lines. If we have time we might go to olive garden, we have gift cards from our birthdays. We will probably also go to Dutch Bros and bring cans :)

So so far Valentines day is non existant for me, but Im hoping it gets better as the day progresses.
Oh, and tomorrow is 11 months for CJ and I. <3
maybe tomorrow will be better.

To my best friend, cj's mom, and abraham lincoln

2009-02-12T13:22:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAE!

I miss you nae, i tried to call but your phone kept giving me a busy signal. :(

As for tomorrow and this weekend...
Happy friday the 13th
Happy Valentines day
CJ and I together 11 months.

have a good rest of the week guys!

Life is Good. :)

2009-02-05T17:18:00.000-08:00

Okay, so i now have a new room, same building, same floor, different room, different roommate.

thank god.

I walked into the room, and the first thing i did was smile. This is how my room should be! There are things on the walls, Colors everywhere, and we even have christmas lights everywhere. i love it. Plus, my roommate now is super nice, and no joke, she reminds me of amanda, diana and nae all mixed together. So we get along just fine.

Other than that there are a few pictures of CJ's burnt empty room now. :p

you can see where his pictures were on the wayy and the books on his shelf up top, and you can also see how he vaccuumed "i love you mary :)" on the ceiling.

We are cleaning the walls off and tearing out the carpet this weekend i believe.

Friend things and boyfriend things are all good. I have a new friend, brandon. He was the drummer in cj's band, but left for his mission trip. he got back the beginning of january, and we hang out all the time now, so thats cool. He comes and hangs out at my dorm with me like once a week, and we walk to voodoo donuts, or just hang around, and he hangs out with everyone at cj's house on the weekends. we had a super bowl party on sunday at cj's place, and that was cool. everyone came over and that was awesome.

OH!

i learned how to play guitar hero :p

Birthday and Stuff.

2009-01-20T14:21:00.000-08:00

So My camera as it turns out, did get damaged in the fire and doesnt work, so i have to get a new one, so i havent been able to take any pictures of the burnt room really.
We've been cleaning it up pretty good, and its almost empty now.

Other than that, my birthday is on friday. Ihave one class that day, my piano class, and i get out around 12:30. Then CJ and I are going to head to the zoo for the day. I am pretty excited, I like my piano class, I love the zoo, and spending time with CJ, so this should be awesome.

Saturday CJ's family is all getting together for his (belated) birthday party, and i guess some for me too? His family always gets together for birthdays and such. Saturday night should be good too, a bunch of our friends are coming over to have a party for my birthday.

Not much else has really been happening, just school and everything. Im taking a piano class, a 'classic movies' class, criminal behavior, constructed self (freshman inquiry) and a mentor session with it.
I like mopst of my classes, but i hate my movie class. its at 6 to 9:30 on wednesdays, and all we do is watch these boring silent movies that i hate, and then you have to write a paper on it. LAME.
My other classes are pretty good though.

I also have an appointment to give blood on february 4th, and i should be switching to a new dorm soon!!

:D

Fire!

2009-01-07T16:55:00.000-08:00

Ok, so as alot of you have heard, yes, cj's house caught on fire.
for those who havent heard the story yet ill tell it, and for those who have, they'll be more info as well.

The Story:
cj and i went to petco last friday night. we were having a good ol time, and thought, instead of just getting a new fishtank, lets get a lizard.
so we got a small anole lizard like bob, the one that i used to have. We picked out the lizard, and asked one of the employees to help us pick out the rest of tghe equiptment. We got a plastic 'critter cage' bit enough for him to be comortable, but still small enough to fit in his room. we ended up setting it on his big huge computer desk in his room.
we also got a small heating lamp to keep him warm, as well as the crickets to feed him.
So...
we got home, set it all up, and all was good. we left for dinner to amigos, and then came back and set everything up further, making the desk look nice and clearing our things off of it, so we could fit both the lizard, and the fish tank on there so it would look nice. we left the room.
We played guitar hero world tour for a while with Nick, Becca, Jake, Casey, Jesse, and Erin.
cj went back to the room to check on the lizard. all was fine. he left the room.
so, 20 minutes later, my feet were cold, so i headed back to the room to get my slippers, i opened the door and the room was in flames and engulfed with smoke.
i ran into his parents room saying "the room is on fire!" so they went and got the fire extinguisher, and put it out. the whole house filled with smoke and all the kitties were scared. as for the lizard, well im sure he is dead.

so, heres the updates...
nothing expensive, important or sentimental got burnt. The damage origionally consisted of the burnt desk, curtains, broken window from the heat, as well as the ceiling and walls being blackened, and the paint was bubbling from the heat, and everything in the entire room is now covered in ash and soot, and is stinky.
The insurance people came today to take a look to see the damages and all that, and what his parents thought was around 2000 dollars in damage, ended up being about 7800. as it turns out, they have to replace the whole back wall in their room. The insurance is covering all costs, we just have to clean everything out of the room and wipe it off/wash it.
i hope its done soon!
ill have some pictures of the burnt room up soon. ill take some pics and post them by next week.

were just glad i went in there and found it when i did, because if i had waited much longer the whole house could have caught.
everyone is ok though :)

Snow again...

2008-12-15T19:42:00.000-08:00

Well here are a few pictures from the snow. Tomorrow Casey has another snow day, it didnt snow today but the snow didnt melt either. its supposed to snow again on wednesday, twice as hard, so therefore, twice as much snow, added on what we have already. By sunday its supposed to get the worst, they are saying its going to be a 'super snow storm' but ill be gone by that time. Today me and casey went out to the pond, its all frozen over, we cant walk on it or anything, but we went out on the dock and threw snowballs at it. it was awesome. We made out gingerbread house last night also.

Ill be home saturday though!! I hope to see everyone sometime!!

Lots of Snow!

2008-12-14T16:39:00.000-08:00

So its been snowing all day, and i took a few pictures, i thought i would post a few, but it wont let me...ill try to post them tomorrow, the internet isnt doing so well here today.

I woke up this morning to casey and erin yelling "mary mary its snowing!!!!!!!!!"

i took the kitties outside in the snow. all of them loved it except Nella, the white kitty. she was scared and ran back inside. she doesnt like being outside at all. The horses seem to like it though.

I played with casey and cj in the snow for a while, we played catch with snowballs and then me and casey attacked cj with snowballs. then came inside.
its still snowing now too. it hasnt really stopped at all.

were going to make a gingerbread house tonight, so thats going to be fun, and it looks like casey is going to have a snow day tomorrow.

Oh. My. Goodness.

2008-12-11T12:55:00.000-08:00

so everyone knows that i have been having some roommate issues and i put in a room transfer request, but i cant change until january 19th...well i dont have to anymore....

so my roomate is ocd and freaks at everything...

and so she 'lost her pills' once, when she told me she thinks she dropped them like a month or so ago,
and now she has this huge pikachu (looks just like the picture) that has tremendous sentimental value to her and she thinks someone stole it.
i think she took it home with her and lost it herself because its the only explanation. no person in their right mind would come to a dorm room and steal a stuffed pikachu and leave my brand new laptop there.
either that or she took it home and is acting like someone stole it so she has and excuse...

so anyways, she is offering a reward of 100 bucks for her stuffed pikachu,
and she is......

changing rooms.
she says she doesnt want to live in a place that her things get taken all the time, (even though im almost positive she misplaced them herself) the thought crossed my mind that she might just be using it as a really bad excuse to change rooms, but i dont care. i wasnt around when any of her stuff came up missing, so im in the clear about that. i also didnt even know she had any pills until she told me she lost them. lol. so yeah.

but anyways...
:D :D :D :D
she is changing rooms and i dont have to.
awesome.

Dorms/Roomates?

2008-11-19T17:36:00.000-08:00

So heres the dealy.
I like my roomate. She is a nice girl.
But... we dont have ANYTHING in common. at all.
She likes everything black and dark colored, I like bright pink.
She is allergic to basically everything [peanuts, dairy, soy, salmon...ect]
I love peanut butter. and cheese. and soy sauce with my rice. not so much salmon. but you know what I mean.
She hates psu, I love psu.
She is ocd about cleaning, I like things to be tidy-ish, but i dont need things to be spotless to survive.
She doesnt like my music, I dont like hers.
She studys during the day, I study at night,
She goes to bed early, I go to bed at like 11 or so.
She wakes up at 6 everyday, I like to sleep a little, my first class is at 10.

Basically,
we have nothing in common, no common ground at all.
She is a nice person, but they couldnt have paired me with a worse roomate.
I got my room transfer sheet and I have an appointment tomorrow with the lady that has to sign it, and basically determines weather it goes through or not.
so I may have a new room next term.

Halloween

2008-11-03T13:47:00.000-08:00

Me and CJ

Me and Casey.
Me as Strawberry Shortcake.
My Costume.

So halloween came.

i figured out my costume. i tried on a bajillion different things trying to find something that didnt look overly slutty or just bad on me. I went back and forth on a few costumes that i liked and i ended up getting strawberry shortcake. It was cute, it wasnt anything that would make me look like a whore like a french maid or half the other costumes in the store. haha. so i got it.

CJ went as House. of course. He had the cane, and he even had a perscription bottle of tic tacs that he was popping throughout the night. i didnt get any pictures of him in costume, but i got some of me and his sister, casey all dressed up with me. She went as a referee.

All in all it was a good night. We knew there would be some drinking at the party, but me, casey, her boyfriend, and cj all didnt want to drink, so we went to safeway on the way to the party to get energy drinks. Everyone was looking at me and casey, and there were little kids trick or treating everywhere. it was pretty cool. When we got to the party we hung out for a while, and just talked with people and stuff. We stayed for a few hours, but we left when everyone was starting to play drinking games.

We came home, and got in our pajamas, and we watched a few more house episodes before we went to bed. :] we are on the fourth season. I asked cj what we are going to do when we run out of house episodes until the next season is out on dvd, he said we would start watching smallville, which i have never seen.

so yes. My halloween was good. :D

Woo

2008-10-23T11:02:00.001-07:00

My midterms are basically over!
I still have to do a scene for my theater class, but thats easy.
I had to write 2 five page papers other than that though, one for freshman inquiry, and one for criminology.
I turned in my one for freshman inquiry, and i got an A-.
I have to turn in my one for Crininology.
At the beginning of the term i hated my freshman inquiry class. It seemed boring and pointless, but now its becoming more psychology based, which i like. so thats good.
My criminology class is really good. I enjoy going to the class, and we get pretty much no homework besides reading.
Other than that things are going well.
Me and cj got invited to a halloween party, and i have to geta costume. We are going to Spirit on Saturday. I am excited, even though i have no idea what to be.

Any Suggestions??

College Update :)

2008-10-08T17:39:00.000-07:00

PSU Hoodie :)Drinking Green Apple Bubble Tea.

CJ Drinking His And Mine at the Same time. He is silly.

Myclasses are going well,

i have theater and freshman inquiry&mentor session on mondays and wednesdays,

and criminology on tuesdays and thursdays.

i really am enjoying my classes and my professors are all really nice and stuff.

i havent had a ton of homework, just a small amount, which is nice.

and i live right above a starbucks. :)

also, there is a bubble tea place right down the street and its soooo good!

As for everything else, me and cj are doing good. Ive been spending most of my weekends with him at his house so i can get around and hang out with friends and stuff.

We've been watching house lately. CJ has all of the seasons on dvd, so when i spend the night its kind of our time ot just cuddle and have us time. We just sit around and watch a few episodes of house. I like it alot, its a very intriguing show, especially for me. Its also medically correct, so im not screaming at the tv the whole time. :)

My roomate is nice and we have been getting along pretty well also.

Other than that, i have just been meeting some new people in my classes and in my dorm.
All in all, i love it here.

but you wanna know something funny?...

in the past 3 days, i have seen 4 people from roseburg.

1]Rhianna Gunderson. ..she looked at me like "oh my god, im not the only one here anymore" and then kind of glared at me.

2] Some football player. He stopped me in the hall and asked if he knew me from roseburg, i said i guess so. I wasnt really sure of his name, and he was one of the jock guys that were jerks, so i didnt want to talk to him that much. He asked for my number, but i didnt take his, instead he has called me a number of times and texted me, but i havent responded. haha.

3] Travis Trotter. walked right by me.

4] Travis Hase...Well, i think he was suprised to find me here. it was funny, i said hi to him and he kinda gave me a "whoa, marys here?!" look. i kinda laughed when he walked away.

Also, i am kinda getting sick. :(

cj was sick for the past few days, with a sore throat and the sniffles,

and i have it now. bleh.

but ill be fine :)

College Life

2008-09-29T19:08:00.000-07:00

My Dorm:
This is part of the kitchenette, there is also a little fridge that you cant see in this picture, and we have a cabinette thing on the other side of this with a microwave and coffee maker.

This is the basic Room part, on the right are our dressers and on the left are our desks. And you can see the huge window.

This is part of the bathroom. Yay. We have our own bathroom. across from the toilette is our shower, even though you cant see it. :D

This is my side with my bes and dresser. Today was my first day of actually going to classes here.
I have lived in my dorm fro a little over a week, and i love it. (Can you guess which side is mine? lol) The bathroom and kitchenette are really nice, and its a really big space for a dorm. Having our own shower is nice. Our dorm doesnt look like much yet because we havent really decorated or anything. We do have a huge window though. My roomate has a couple posters up, but not much else. Just our stuff everywhere. At first in our dorm there was only one ethernet cable for the both of us, so i went and picked up a router...but we didnt need it because my roomate, Jessica, her dad bought us another ethernet cable, and so its just more convenient for us, the router was kind of confusing anyways.
Today i had my first three classes,
I had my Theater class, Constructed Self [freshman inquiry], and the Constructed Self Mentor session. I liked my theater class, the teacher seems to be a pretty good theater teacher. My Constructed Self class kind of felt like advisory but with a college feel, but i guess it could be just because it was the first day. Its all about basically 'improving yourself as a whole' and 'making progress in your life' and stuff. stupid.
Tomorrow i have my class for my major;
Criminology. Im pretty excited to go to that class.
through my classes today i met alot of people, and talked to a bunch of different people from different backgrounds and such, especially in my theater class, there are quite a few people that are not origionally from the united states. There is a girl from the phillipenes, a girl from japan, a guy from basically the us, and everywhere in europe, a girl from australia, and a guy from nigeria. There are also alot of people from other states. In one class i have, I am one of the three people that are actually from oregon.
its kind of nice being around so many different people.
Other than that I have just been hanging out with CJ and everyone and stuff, we have made a habit of whenever i spend the night with him we watch the show House together at night, he owns every season of it. We just started on the second season.
So basically living up here has gone pretty smoothly so far, and i am really enjoying being here in the city. Classes started today and they went well.

I miss you tina, diana, amanda, and nae!!
<3

Moving Day

2008-09-19T17:33:00.000-07:00

So tomorrow is my moving day!
ill be waking up at about 7 and going for one last trip to bagel tree, and then we will head towards portland. We are gonna stop and shop in the woodburn outlet mall on the way there, so i am excited.
After that ill be checking in and moving into my dorm. Then i have to buy a microwave and some floor lamps.
Other than that i am just going to hang out with cj and go out with his family/friends for dinner at Amigos,
and then back to his house to hang out with a couple of friends for the night.

I am really excitedd to move. My room looks extremely empty, it has nothing in it except furniture and my boxes. its strange. But i like the thought of getting out.
Im kind of apprehensive about how my mom is going to take it, i know she is probably going to be crying the whole time, which is going to be kind of really not fun at all. Its probably going to suck alot actually. But im going to go out to lunch with them on sunday also before they leave.

Woot.
Yay PSU

Six Months Already!

2008-09-15T20:08:00.000-07:00

Wow. Today myself and CJ have been dating for six months. Already.
it feels like it kind of flew by. It makes me feel wonderful. i have never felt so comfortable with any of my previous boyfriends, and i have never felt so cared for. we always tell each other how we feel about everything, good or bad, and we are always honest and open with each other, and i like that. We don't argue almost ever really, because if we have a disagreement we don't just argue and bury the hatchet, we just talk about the situation, and work it out. it seems to give us less problems later. I am just amazed at how quickly this date has come up for us, we have been together for half a year already, however, i do feel that even though the time has flown by, that the maturity level of our relationship is at a very good place. I feel very stable in the relationship and i am extremely happy with that. I love making memories with him. I'm sad that I couldn't be with him today to be able to just hang out and do silly things like watch Alice in wonderland while eating white cheeto puffs, and drinking some strange mixture of soda we created, but at the same time, i saw a quote the other day that really summed it all up for me. i think i actually sent it to nae in a comment on myspace...it said "true friendship isn't being inseparable, its being separated and nothing changes"
when i read that i think it carried over into my thoughts of cj and i. Its the truth, being with someone does not mean being inseparable, it means when you are separated things can remain the same while you are apart, as well as when you see each other next.
as you can guess, i am really excited to see him on Saturday. YAY. i have a hug waiting for me.
:D
well cj, we have been dating for six months today,
iloveyou,
and i cant wait to see what the future brings us.
<3

life and bubble tea.

2008-09-08T13:57:00.000-07:00

so first off, i had a great night with the girls the other night, we made diana a myspace [finally], ate ice cream, and watched terminator.
it was fun. they brought me the most beautiful flowers ever, and we just had a good time. i needed it from being cooped up in my house all weekend, although it took me half the movie to realize "oh!..theyre gonna do it!" haha.
as for my dad, he is getting better. cant work for a few days, but i tink he ssaid he will be able to go into work by friday as long as he isnt doing anything too strenuous. next week should be back to normal, he is going out of town, but he will have another guy to help out, so it should be fine.
other than that, it is getting closer and closer to my moving date! 12 days left now. i found out what was included in my room...and its completely furnished with a bed, dresser and desk for each person living in the dorm. so i dont have to buy a desk or anything, which is nice. all i really need to take car of now is getting my lamps/microwave. we have no overhead lighting in my dorm, which can be a pain, so jessica and myself are both buying standing lamps, and floor rugs for our sides. im really excited.
another thing:
RENEE:
what are you thinkin for your tattoo? you never said anything back to anyone.

Next thing:
Bubble tea. its this stuff, cj introduced me to it.
its delicious depending on what kind you get.
its kind of a creamy tea based thing, you can get it in whatever flavor you want, and you can get it in either the actual milk-tea form with ice, or you can get it in a slushy/smoothy form. i tend to like the slushy/smoothy ones better than the iced milk teas. cj always gets green apple iced milk tea, its ok, but i like mine better.
but back to explaining, it has this stuff in the bottom called boba. i guess its like this asian tapioca type stuff, its these big brown balls of it at the bottom of your drink. they are very strange. i guess cj says it takes a while to get used to it. they are kind of textured like slimy gummy bears. and the straw is extra big so you can suck them up. its very interesting. if you dont like boba however, you can get a jelly type stuff at the bottom instead. last time i got bubble tea, i got a kiwi slushy bubble tea, with strawberry jelly stuff instead of the boba. i really liked it. it tasted so good!
cj is probably going to laugh, but i may actually get a little boba in a kiwi slushy next time. i think i may be ready to handle the boba. haha.

the reason i wrote so extensivley about bubble tea;
i want some.
it just sounds good right now, and i cant have it because there are no bubble tea places in or around roseburg.

Appendix

2008-09-06T13:09:00.000-07:00

yeah.
my dad got home from work last night, he didnt look so well, and he had been complaining of pains in his lower right side since about 2:30. i told him he should go get it checked out because he reallly didnt look good at all. he could barely stand up straight. it was pretty bad, but he insisted on showering first.
he got in and out of the shower for a tops of maybe 4 minutes, and told my mom he needed to go to urgent care.
they sent him to the ER at mercy because they said he needed to get his appendix seen, and so after waiting a while, they checked him out and indeed it was his appendix.
he ended up spending the night in the hospital, my mom got home at about 1:45 in the morning,
and my dad went into surgery at about 11 this morning.
he should be out of surgery now and recovering, and my mom is there with him again now.
so i think all is better, except that he will be out of work for about a week to a week and a half.
so we will see what happens with that.
other than that, everything should be all better now though.
ill keep you posted if anything else happens.

stuff.

2008-08-23T19:48:00.000-07:00

so today was Diana's birthday party.
it was fun, she is eighteen!!
after shaking a whole fourteen times waiting for Amanda to show up, we all sat around, and then she opened presents. from what i remember, she got a notebook [with tiny midget pens], a purple "weird" shirt, some anime pin things, moolah, and everyone's favorite, the black sexy lingerie with the white fuzzy accents. hahaha. everyone laughed when she opened it. it was pretty great. I bought her an Abbey Road Beatles shirt and a yellow necklace.
after all the presents, we watched Stranger Than Fiction. after the movie, tina made dinner and dessert, but i had to leave early because anna was being a lame face and needed a ride home.
Also at diana's house though, i found out that i will be making a weekend trip up to see cj, because the girls are taking a roadtrip up there for diana's anime convention. so, SWEET.
i get to hang out with the girls, and see cj!
im pretty excited about that.

another thing:
i have learned that i prefer sonic's drinks better than other places.
but you could have guessed that, by the idea that you can make any soda any flavor you want.
so far i have tried:
green apple sprite
watermelon sprite
strawberry sprite
pineapple sprite
cherry dr pepper
cherry coke
vanilla coke
and...
green apple watermelon sprite.

i tend to like the ones without the chunks of stuff, which strawberry and pineapple both have.
i think the most interesting combo thart i have had so far though was the watermelon green apple sprite that myself, derek, and anna shared.
see, i got green apple sprite, and derek got watermelon.
when our small cups ran out of delicious liquid, we decided to get a large with both of our flavors combined.
when we got it, it looked REALLY gross!
it was brown and yucky looking because everyone knows pink+green=brown.
but it was DELICIOUS.
but yes.
i dont know what my next drink will be, but i tend to get pretty creative.
it will be an adventure.

but yes, last but not least right now;
moving to portland state is getting closer and closer! im excited and i cant wait.
i just hope they dont change my room again.
they have switched my room twice now.
i still have the same roomate and everything, in the same building, but a different room.
i went from room 760 to 360 to now 330.
but either way, its all the same stuff. justa different number.
im so ready to leave! roseburg is getting kind of boring to me, being that there is nothing to do here and all. i mean, i just wrote about sonic's drinks for christ sakes. haha.
im just ready to go and live on campus and be somewhere new.
plus, they have bubble tea, which they dont have here.

i finally have a blog!

2008-08-20T19:02:00.000-07:00

Well, since i have a new laptop, i figured this would be easier to keep up on now, so i have a blog!

heres whats going on in Mary World now:

1. SCHOOL:
i have housing. i have a roomate.
my dorm is in the broadway building on campus at portland state university. it is 330 sq ft and has a kitchenette. i guess its on the nicer side of all the dorms on campus, so i am pretty excited to move in.
my roomate shall be interesting to live with. her name is jessica. she is really nice. we have talked a small amount on myspace so far. she has some things in common with me, but is very different than me at the same time. she doesnt seem as bright and peppy as i am, but thats ok. i wouldnt want to live with a mary clone. i would go insane. she has a combonation of blonde and black hair, and has a tattoo of a rose on her left arm that is really cool looking. she listens to mostly old school punk rock music, and seems to have a little darker of a personality than me; but then again, thats not hard. lol. either way, she is really cool and nice, and i think living with her will be fun.

2. FRIENDS:
I have the best friends in thw whole world. Renee, Diana and Amanda. i have been so busy lately, from being out of town, to working fair, that i miss my girlies! i want to see amanda and diana and tina realllly bad. i am thoroughly convinced that we need to have at least one more sleepover before we all depart. it kind of reminds me of the sisterhood of the traveling pants, only subtract the pants. we wouldnt be able to fit into each others pants. all of us are built to differently. Maybe sisterhood of the traveling necklace or bracelet or something would be more fit for us. lol. Its really hard to think that when school starts we will all be in different cities. Nae still in San Diego, Amanda in Roseburg, Diana in Eugene, and myself in Portland. its strange knowing that i wont see them all every tuesday of the year. i guess thats most of the reason that i made a blog though. we are each other's everything. so yes girls; sleepover? taco bell run? johnny depp movies all night? YES. Soon please. I MISS YOU GIRLS!

3. NEW FRIENDS:
i have made a bunch of new friends up north as well. since i do go up north a bunch now, i have met a bunch of new people that i really enjoy spending time with. There is Casey and Jesse, who are CJ's siblings. Casey and me always have a good time hanging out, having our girls days and blending rockstar and pineapple juice all over the kitchen and whatnot. She also is someone i can talk to about anything. Jesse is CJ's brother. he is a man of few words. very laid back, but he is always sincere and is always there for you, even though he tries to scare me with the lawn gnome, i always seem to forgive him. Erin is another good friend, she is Jesse's girlfriend, the usual hang out amongst casey and me when the boys are out having band practice or working on their next show. then there are the guys, Nick, Jake, Vince, Scott, Pokey, and ocasionally David. i really like hanging out with them because they are always there for me, and its funny to watch them play halo.

4. BOYFRIEND:
I have the most wonderful boyfriend ever. His name is CJ,a nd we have been together for about 5 and a half months so far. he is everything i have wanted in a boyfriend for a long time. He is smart, considerate, caring, humorous, and we have jsut the right amount of similarities and differences to make us compatable. I really like the fact that he wants to be friends with my friends too. I love that my friends approve. He doesnt hesitate to bring me around his friends either which i love. he is always there for me and he does all the little things that makes me happy. he opens doors for me, he always holds my hand, he buys me little things even though he knows he doesnt have to, and says he just wants to, he doesnt ever pressure me for anything that i dont want to do, and he just plain cares about me!I like the fact that he has a plan for his life, like me. He wants to be a history professor and is going to college at portland state just as well. The best part of being with cj though, is that he doesnt quit trying. he isnt one of those guys who thinks 'well i have her already, i dont need to try to impress her of be a good boyfriend anymore' he always does everything he can for me. i really care about him, and i cant wait to live up there where i am closer to him.
